Nokia To Launch N96 In India Today



















Nokia is launching its N96 in Delhi today a few days before the iPhone 3G is launched here in India. The N96 was initially set to launch first in the UK on the first of October. But Nokia seems to have changed their plans and are launching it here first.

The timing is so wickedly correct. Even as we wait for the iPhone, Nokia is dropping this fully loaded beauty into our laps and we estimate the price to be somewhere in the vicinity of Rs. 36,000.

The quandary about what phone to buy just got bigger and more complicated with these two behemoths launching so close together. The Indian market is truly getting to be the biggest mobile market on the planet and personally, being spoilt for choice, we have no complaints whatsoever.

The Return of Trump: What India's Economy and Job Market Can Expect

Donald Trump has made a comeback, winning the U.S. presidential election once again. With his return to the White House, there are many questions about how his policies will impact India's economy, especially regarding U.S.-based jobs and trade relations. Trump's previous tenure was characterized by his "America First" agenda, which significantly influenced global trade, immigration, and outsourcing dynamics. In this blog, we explore the potential advantages and challenges India may face under Trump's renewed leadership. 1. H-1B Visa and Immigration Policies: A Renewed Challenge During his previous term, Trump tightened immigration rules, especially concerning the H-1B visa program. This program is crucial for India's IT sector, which relies on sending skilled professionals to the U.S. What We Can Expect : Stricter Visa Norms : Trump's administration is likely to continue enforcing strict H-1B visa policies. This could mean increased scrutiny, higher rejec...

The State of Quantum Computing in 2024: Where Are We Now?

  Quantum computing is one of the most exciting and rapidly advancing fields in technology today. As we step into 2024, it’s clear that quantum computing is no longer a distant dream but a rapidly evolving reality. However, the journey from theoretical models to practical applications is still ongoing. So, where do we stand with quantum computing today? Let’s explore the current landscape, the breakthroughs, and what lies ahead. 1. The Hardware Frontier: Scaling Up Qubits One of the most critical aspects of quantum computing is the hardware itself. Unlike classical computers, which use bits to represent data as 0s and 1s, quantum computers use  qubits  that can exist in multiple states simultaneously, thanks to the principles of  superposition  and  entanglement . Recent Hardware Advancements IBM  remains a leader in quantum hardware, having recently introduced its new  “Condor” quantum processor , which boasts over  1,121 qubits . This is a ...

Rethinking Exercise: Lessons from an Evolutionary Biologist

Harvard professor and evolutionary biologist Daniel Lieberman challenges many of the commonly held beliefs about exercise, sleep, and the human body. Lieberman, who is also the author of the book   Exercised , draws on his extensive research to argue that our modern lifestyle has led to a "mismatch" between our evolved biology and the environment we live in today. This disconnect, he suggests, is a significant factor behind many of the health problems we face. Here are some of the most eye-opening takeaways from Lieberman's interview: 1. The Myth of 8 Hours of Sleep We’ve all heard that 8 hours of sleep is the gold standard for health. However, Lieberman argues that this one-size-fits-all approach to sleep is misleading. He references studies on hunter-gatherer societies, who live without the influence of artificial lighting and other modern sleep disruptors. Surprisingly, these populations typically sleep between 6-7 hours a night. Lieberman suggests that, for most peopl...

Embracing the AI Revolution: Redefining Software Development

 In the ever-evolving landscape of technology, a seismic shift is underway—a revolution driven by the fusion of artificial intelligence (AI) and software development. Envisioning this future is not just about imagining possibilities but understanding the profound impact it will have on how we create, innovate, and interact with technology. A Journey Through Programming Languages To appreciate the transformative potential of AI in software development, let's take a moment to reflect on the historical evolution of programming languages—the bedrock upon which modern computing is built. 1. Machine Language : In the early days of computing, programmers communicated with machines through raw binary instructions—machine language. This rudimentary form of programming was laborious and error-prone, requiring an intimate understanding of the computer's architecture. 2. Assembly Language : The introduction of assembly language provided a symbolic representation of machine language instruc...
