No Wi-Fi in planes please, we are India

National carrier Air India stumbled on this archaic — but still in vogue — rule while preparing to have Wi-Fi on its aircraft.

NEW DELHI: Each time you board an aircraft to fly in India — or even overfly the country — you are journeying back in time. An iron curtain prohibits flyers in Indian airspace from enjoying Wi-Fi connectivity. While international flyers can log on to the net as soon as they are out of Indian airspace, desi ones can do so only before takeoff and after landing.

National carrier Air India stumbled on this archaic — but still in vogue — rule while preparing to have Wi-Fi on its aircraft. A team of senior officials recently met officials of Geneva-based OnAir, which provides both internet and mobile connectivity to almost 30 top airlines globally like British Airways, Emirates, Etihad, Singapore Airlines and Thai.

"We were shown a real time presentation of aircraft in air using Wi-Fi and/or mobile connectivity. All planes over India were shown in red, meaning they had neither of these two connections. We were told that India does not allow these two things in air and so even planes of foreign airlines equipped with Wi-Fi and/or mobile connectivity have to switch their systems off, while flying over the country," said a senior AI official. The airline was told that some private and foreign airlines had in the past sought permission to use Wi-Fi over Indian airspace but were not given the same.

The AI team was dejected by the discovery of this stumbling block on providing internet on its aircraft. Installing the onboard systems and providing the satellite-to-ground support was neither too expensive, nor a big technical challenge. But, being the national carrier of India, it did not make sense to opt for a technology that can be used only over foreign airspace and not on desi one.

"We are going to request the government to lift the ban on Wi-Fi in air and soon start a formal process with both the home and telecom ministry. Such a ban does not make sense when advanced countries actually take pride in ensuring flyers over their airspace remain connected all the time. Being a government company, we hope to get this ban lifted on our request. However, that process may take time and out plan of having internet in air is now delayed till that happens," said an official.

In fact, "no Wi-Fi" is not the only Stone Age rule in the air here. India allows use of personal electronic devices only during cruise phase, while DGCA rules prohibit switching on mobiles at all times inside an aircraft till it has landed and taxied off the active runway.

On the other hand, US and Europe have from January allowed their airlines to let passengers use personal electronic devices (PED) — including smartphones in aeroplane mode — in all durations of a flight. While they junked old fears that radio signals from PEDs can interfere with an aircraft's communications, navigation and other electronic systems, India still clings on to them.

DGCA's civil aviation requirement 3.1 clearly says: "No person shall use any electronic device, which intentionally transmits radio signals like mobile/cellular phones, amateur radio transceivers, etc at all times while on board an aircraft for the purpose of flight." It also cites a corresponding rule in Aircraft rule (29 B): "No person shall operate, nor shall the operator or the pilot-in-command of an aircraft allow the operation of any portable electronic device on board an aircraft in flight."

Archaic setup 

Installing the onboard systems and providing the satellite-to-ground support is neither too expensive, nor a big technical challenge

Being the national carrier, it does not make sense for Air India to opt for a technology that can be used only over foreign airspace

"We are going to request the government to lift the ban on Wi-Fi in air and soon start a formal process with both the home and telecom ministries," said an AI officia

How to get a job at Google

Here is an interview of Laszlo Bock who is in-charge of all hiring at Google.

MOUNTAIN VIEW: How's my kid going to get a job? There are few questions I hear more often than that one.

In February, I interviewed Laszlo Bock, who is in charge of all hiring at Google - about 100 new hires a week - to try to understand what an employer like Google was looking for and why it was increasingly ready to hire people with no college degrees. Bock's remarks generated a lot of reader response, particularly his point that prospective bosses today care less about what you know or where you learned it - the Google machine knows everything now - than what value you can create with what you know. With graduations approaching, I went back to Google to ask Bock to share his best advice for job-seekers anywhere, not just at Google. Here is a condensed version of our conversations:

You're not saying college education is worthless?
"My belief is not that one shouldn't go to college," Bock said.

It is that among 18- to 22-year-olds - or people returning to school years later - "most don't put enough thought into why they're going, and what they want to get out of it." Of course, we want an informed citizenry, where everyone has a baseline of knowledge from which to build skills. That is a social good. But, he added, don't just go to college because you think it is the right thing to do and that any bachelor's degree will suffice.

"The first and most important thing is to be explicit and willful in making the decisions about what you want to get out of this investment in your education." It's a huge investment of time, effort and money and people should think "incredibly hard about what they're getting in return."

Once there, said Bock, make sure that you're getting out of it not only a broadening of your knowledge but skills that will be valued in today's workplace. Your college degree is not a proxy anymore for having the skills or traits to do any job.

What are those traits?
One is grit, he said. Shuffling through resumes of some of Google's 100 hires that week, Bock explained: "I was on campus speaking to a student who was a computer science and math double major, who was thinking of shifting to an economics major because the computer science courses were too difficult. I told that student they are much better off being a B student in computer science than an A+ student in English because it signals a rigor in your thinking and a more challenging course load. That student will be one of our interns this summer."

Or, he added, think of this headline from The Wall Street Journal in 2011: "Students Pick Easier Majors Despite Less Pay." This was an article about a student who switched from electrical and computer engineering to a major in psychology. She said she just found the former too difficult and would focus instead on a career in public relations and human resources. "I think this student was making a mistake," said Bock, even if it meant lower grades. "She was moving out of a major where she would have been differentiated in the labor force" and "out of classes that would have made her better qualified for other jobs because of the training."

This is key for Bock because the first thing Google looks for "is general cognitive ability - the ability to learn things and solve problems," he said. In that vein, "a knowledge set that will be invaluable is the ability to understand and apply information - so, basic computer science skills. I'm not saying you have to be some terrific coder, but to just understand how [these] things work you have to be able to think in a formal and logical and structured way." But that kind of thinking doesn't have to come from a computer science degree. "I took statistics at business school, and it was transformative for my career. Analytical training gives you a skill set that differentiates you from most people in the labor market."

A lot of work, he added, is no longer tied to location.

"So if you want your job tied to where you are, you need to be: A) quite good at it; and B) you need to be very adaptable so that you have a baseline skill set that allows you to be a call center operator today and tomorrow be able to interpret MRI scans. To have built the skill set that allows you to do both things requires a baseline capability that's analytical."

Well, what about creativity?
Bock: "Humans are by nature creative beings, but not by nature logical, structured-thinking beings. Those are skills you have to learn. One of the things that makes people more effective is if you can do both. ... If you're great on both attributes, you'll have a lot more options. If you have just one, that's fine, too." But a lot fewer people have this kind of structured thought process and creativity.

Are the liberal arts still important?
They are "phenomenally important," he said, especially when you combine them with other disciplines. "Ten years ago behavioral economics was rarely referenced. But [then] you apply social science to economics and suddenly there's this whole new field. I think a lot about how the most interesting things are happening at the intersection of two fields. To pursue that, you need expertise in both fields. You have to understand economics and psychology or statistics and physics [and] bring them together. You need some people who are holistic thinkers and have liberal arts backgrounds and some who are deep functional experts. Building that balance is hard, but that's where you end up building great societies, great organizations."

How do you write a good resume?
"The key," he said, "is to frame your strengths as: 'I accomplished X, relative to Y, by doing Z.' Most people would write a resume like this: 'Wrote editorials for The New York Times.' Better would be to say: 'Had 50 op-eds published compared to average of six by most op-ed [writers] as a result of providing deep insight into the following area for three years.' Most people don't put the right content on their resumes."

What's your best advice for job interviews?
"What you want to do is say: 'Here's the attribute I'm going to demonstrate; here's the story demonstrating it; here's how that story demonstrated that attribute.' " And here is how it can create value. "Most people in an interview don't make explicit their thought process behind how or why they did something and, even if they are able to come up with a compelling story, they are unable to explain their thought process."

For parents, new grads and those too long out of work, I hope some of this helps

Low-end Moto E smartphone in the works: Report

Spanish website Xataca has reported that the company will soon launch a low-end smartphone, named Moto E.

NEW DELHI: As Moto G creates waves in the smartphone market with its specifications and price tag, Motorola is eyeing a deja vu. Spanish website Xataca has reported that the company will soon launch a low-end smartphone, named Moto E.

The upcoming Moto E will have a 4.3-inch screen, and though the report says that the resolution cannot be confirmed, it expects a 720p display. Other key specifications of the device include 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 1GB RAM, 5MP camera and 1,900mAh battery. The smartphone will have 4GB internal storage and support microSD cards, which is missing in both Moto G and Moto X.

Moto E will come with Android 4.4 (KitKat) and offer dual-sim functionality. The smartphone will come in black and white colour options and have back covers in different hues.

Among the USPs of Moto E would be its ultra-thin body. The report says that the smartphone would be just 6.2mm thick, making it slimmer than the likes of iPhone 5S and Galaxy S4.

Mexican telecom operator Telcel will start retailing the smartphone in coming weeks. There is no world on the global rollout of this handset. On the pricing, the report says that Moto E will be placed between the 8GB and 16GB versions of Moto G. This means, it is likely to be priced between Rs 12,499 and Rs 13,999 in the Indian market.

Apart from this, Motorola is also said to be working on two more variants of Moto G, named Moto G LTE and Moto G Ferrari. The former is expected to support 4G networks, going by the name. However, nothing is known about the Moto G Ferrari model yet.

In early April, Motorola launched the rugged version of its smartphone, named Moto G Forte, in Mexico.

End of an era: Nokia phone division to be renamed Microsoft Mobile

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, left, is greeted by Stephen Elop, right, executive vice-president of Nokia, during a keynote address in San Francisco. (AP Photo)

NEW DELHI: Ahead of the closure of Nokia-Microsoft deal before the end of April, a leaked letter in Finland shows that Nokia Oyj will be soon renamed as Microsoft Mobile Oy.

According to a report on wmpoweruser.com, a website that tracks developments related to Windows Phone, in a letter Nokia has told its sellers in Finland that the deal with Microsoft will close soon. Both Microsoft and Nokia had said in March that the deal would close by the end of April.

"Please note that upon the close of the transaction between Microsoft and Nokia, the name of Nokia Corporation/Nokia Oyj will change to Microsoft Mobile Oy. Microsoft Mobile Oy is the legal entity name that should be used for VAT IDs and for the issuance of invoices," the company reportedly said in the leaked letter.

Oyj is a Finnish abbreviation for a "public stock company" while the Oy is a term for a "corporation".

The closure of the deal doesn't really mean the end of Nokia. Instead, it means an end to Nokia as the world knows it. Microsoft is buying Nokia's mobile phones division, including the teams that make feature phones. But it is not buying the divisions that are responsible for network equipment business and Here maps. The company left behind by Microsoft will also keep rights to its name Nokia though Microsoft has bought the licence to use the Nokia brand name for 10 years as part of its $7.2 billion deal.

Additionally, Microsoft has bought rights to use Lumia and Asha brand names. As part of the deal, Nokia has also agreed to not make a smartphone or phone using Nokia brand before the end of 2015.

While the name Nokia will be replaced by Microsoft Mobile in the coming days in Finland — and possibly in other countries — not much will change for Nokia's business partners in the immediate future.

"Under the terms of the sale, Microsoft will assume all rights, benefits and obligations of the Nokia Devices and Services business, including Nokia's agreements with suppliers, customers and partners which pertain to the Devices and Services business. Therefore, the purpose of this letter is to update you that the current terms and conditions that you have with the Devices and Services business will not change," Nokia notes in the leaked letter.

Originally, Nokia's deal with Microsoft was supposed to close before the end of March. But the regulatory approval from Chinese authorities was received just several days ago. Nokia's problems with Indian tax authorities over the manufacturing plant in Chennai have also reportedly delayed the deal. But there are reports that Nokia and Microsoft may agree to leave the Chennai plant out the deal in a bid to wrap up the sale before the end of April

HTC One (M8) coming to India on May 7 at Rs 49,900

The smartphone has been priced at Rs 49,900 and will be available starting May 7.

NEW DELHI: Taiwanese smartphone maker HTC has announced details related to the the pricing and availability of its new flagship smartphone, HTC One (M8). The smartphone has been priced at Rs 49,900 and will be available starting May 7. 

HTC One (M8) sports a 5-inch IPS LCD full-HD display (1080 x 1920p, 441ppi) with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection. Compared to its predecessor, HTC One (M8) is slightly larger and features curved edges but the basic design has not changed much.


The phone has an all-metal premium look. HTC claims it boasts of stronger construction and advanced antenna design for better network reception. 

HTC One (M8) is powered by a 2.3GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor and 2GB RAM. The phone will be available in 16GB and 32GB internal storage variants with a microSD card slot that supports cards of up to 128GB capacity. HTC will also offer 65GB of cloud storage space on Google Drive. 

The smartphone runs Android 4.4.2 KitKat, the latest iteration of the mobile OS with HTC's Sense 6.0 UI on top. It includes on-screen buttons for navigation (unlike the previous One that featured hardware buttons) and a new version of BlinkFeed, a homescreen utility that brings personalized updates from the user's preferred news sources and social networks. 

It also comes with new features like double tap to lock and unlock the phone, slide to right to unlock to BlinkFeed, and slide to left to unlock to the homescreen.

One of the highlights of HTC One (M8) is the phone's new UltraPixel Duo camera at the back. HTC claims that it captures 300% more light and the second camera lens helps in detecting and separating backgrounds and foregrounds. 

The feature allows users to refocus on an object after shooting a picture, similar to Nokia's Refocus app which is available on high-end Lumia phones. HTC One (M8) features an iPhone 5S like dual-colour LED flash to balance light. 

The phone's front-camera features a 5MP sensor with f2.0 wide angle lens for taking selfies. It also includes a timer switch and touchup feature for enhanced selfies. 

HTC One (M8) comes with front-facing dual stereo speakers and amplifier. HTC claims the new speakers offer 25% better sound than the ones on the phone's predecessor. The phone comes with a non-removable 2,600mAh battery which the company claims charges 40% faster. It also offers an extreme power saving mode with which the phone offers two weeks of standby time and 30 hours of talktime. 

The smartphone will feature integrated fitness tracking with the pre-loaded Fitbit app that also syncs with BlinkFeed. It doesn't feature a heart-rate sensor like the Samsung Galaxy S5 though. HTC will sell the TDD LTE version of the One (M8), which will support Indian 4G LTE bands post a software update. 

HTC One (M8) will be available in Gunmetal Gray and Glacial Silver colours at launch with an Amber Gold version shipping after a few weeks of the launch. HTC will also offer Dot View flip covers that display notifications, time and weather updates and the ability to answer calls, without the need to uncover the phone

CSK play like champions

© IPL

It was a clinical display by CSK after their loss in the first match against KXIP. 

After failing to defend 205 in the first game against Kings XI Punjab, Chennai Super Kings arrived for this game against the Delhi Daredevils with a hint of vulnerability.

At the start, the going was tough for the CSK openers. On a pitch which had a fair covering of grass and some bald patches, Dwayne Smith and Brendon McCullum found the going tough. They weathered Mohammed Shami's probing spell and were given a dose of luck with Nathan Coulter-Nile injuring himself on the field. JP Duminy had dropped McCullum on nine but the batsman did not make DD pay for that lapse and departed the very next ball. By the end of the powerplay overs, CSK were 34/1, a far cry from the match against KXIP where they were 70/0 in the Powerplay.

However, CSK's veteran and a man who has played in each one of the franchise's 101 games, played a mature knock and gave his team the platform from where they could dominate. He started out slowly and nudged it around in the outfield to get his eye in. By the end of the 10th over, Suresh Raina, the leading run-scorer in the IPL, was on 24 and CSK were 65/1.

If one looks at the dynamics of how a champion team functions, they capitalize on a blunder by the opposition or they just back themselves to get out of this situation. With respect to this match, DD gift-wrapped an opportunity to CSK when they got Murali Vijay, a part-time spinner, into the attack. With Dwayne Smith departing just before his introduction, the opportunity was there for DD to build the pressure.
Instead, Raina spanked him for three fours in an over and CSK had capitalized on this blunder. The southpaw reached his fifty off 36 balls and CSK had got the platform they wanted. By combing maturity and sensible aggression, Raina laid the platform for MS Dhoni and Faf du Plessis to hammer 58 runs in the last four overs. With the DD bowlers missing their line and length, the score of 177 was just too much on this sluggish pitch.

Champion teams put in a clinical performance in all aspects of the game and their performance with the bat galvanized the bowling and fielding. Ishwar Pandey, Ben Hilfenhaus and Mohit Sharma swung the ball and maintained the perfect line and length. Consider this stat in the match. CSK had hit 14 boundaries and five sixes while DD hit only seven boundaries. They were backed up with some fantastic catching from Raina and du Plessis. The level of intensity in the bowling and fielding was high and CSK played like a team possessed.

Dhoni was proactive as a leader as a well. He did not commit the blunder of letting DD drift away. When the opposition was 54/5 and with Jimmy Neesham on strike, Smith asked Dhoni for a slip and the captain immediately inserted one in. The combination of mature batting, confident bowling and brilliant fielding gave CSK their biggest win in the IPL ever. One can only write off a champion team at their own peril.

Clinical CSK hand DD big defeat

© IPL

CSK took as many as seven catches on way to their 93-run win against DD.

A clinical Chennai Super Kings handed a lacklustre Delhi Daredevils a 93-run defeat in the eighth match of the Pepsi Indian Premier League season seven at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.

Chasing a 178-run target, DD's batting never really took off as they kept losing wickets at regular intervals and were restricted to 84 for nine in 15.3 overs with the last batsman, Nathan Coulter-Nile, absent hurt after suffering a hamstring injury earlier in the match. CSK bowlers, who had failed to defend a 205-run total against Kings XI Punjab in their first game, learned from their mistakes and skipper MS Dhoni's decision to ring in three changes from their last game also worked wonderfully.

Ishwar Pandey, who replaced Ashish Nehra in the team returned with figures of two for 23 and was helped by some sharp catching. Suresh Raina and Faf du Plessis were livewires in the field, sharing five excellent catches between them. CSK's fielding ensured that DD had no respite. As many as seven catches were taken by CSK fielders. Dinesh Karthik and Jimmy Neesham were the only two DD batsmen who managed to go beyond 20 runs.

Earlier, asked to bowl, DD's bowlers made good use of their resources to restrict CSK for 34 for one by the end of the first Powerplay. Karthik used four bowlers in the first six overs as JP Duminy began the proceedings. The move yielded good results as Brendon McCullum, who had smashed 67 in CSK's first game, was back in the hut in the fourth over after adding only nine runs to the team's total. Jaydev Unadkat got the prized scalp.

Dwayne Smith did go about his usual business at the other end after McCullum's fall and was well supported by IPL veteran Raina. The second-wicket partnership between Smith (29) and Raina yielded 54 runs until Shahbaz Nadeem's arm ball got through Smith's defences and hit the stumps.

Smith's dismissal brought in du Plessis at the crease. At that point of time one would have expected DD captain to bring on his main bowlers but it wasn't the case as Murali Vijay was introduced into the attack. Maybe, Karthik wanted to sneak in some quick overs considering Coulter-Nile's injury. Realising the opportunity, Raina carted Vijay for three fours in the twelfth over as CSK moved along swiftly.

Credit must go to the DD bowlers who managed to put a check on CSK's run rate despite Raina going strong at one end. Duminy and Neesham maintained a steady line and never allowed the big hitting duo at the crease to blaze away. Neesham managed to send back a dangerous looking Raina after the batsman had helped himself to a 41-ball 56. The onus was on CSK captain Dhoni to give his team the late push and he didn't disappoint his fans. With two sixes and two fours, Dhoni notched up 32 runs in his 15-ball stay helping his team put up a challenging 177 for seven.

Unadkat was the pick of the DD's bowlers returning with three for 32 in his four overs including the prized scalps of Dhoni and McCullum. Raina was adjudged Man of the Match for his spectacular performance.

Brief Scores: Chennai Super Kings 177/7 (Suresh Raina 56, MS Dhoni 32, Jaydev Unadkat 3/32) beat Delhi Daredevils 84 (Jimmy Neesham 22, Dinesh Karthik 21, R Ashwin 2/3) by 93 runs

The Elife E7 Mini debuted in India, alongside its bigger sibling the Elife E7, in December 2013. Earlier in April, the Elife E7 Mini was available via an e-commerce website.

The Gionee Elife E7 Mini runs Android 4.2 Jelly Bean with the company's custom Amigo 2.0 UI layer on top, much like the elder sibling, the Gionee Elife E7. The Gionee Elife E7 is a single SIM device, but the mini-variant supports dual-SIM (GSM+GSM) functionality.

It comes with 4.7-inch IPS IGZO display with a 720x1280 pixels resolution. The Gionee Elife E7 Mini is powered by a 1.7GHz octa-core Mediatek MT6592 processor alongside a Mali 450MP4 GPU and 1GB of RAM.

The highlight of the Elife E7 mini is its 13-megapixel camera which comes with rotating capabilities; something we already saw on Oppo N1 smartphone. The Gionee Elife E7 Mini will be available in two colour variants: Pink and White.

It comes with 16GB of inbuilt storage, which is non-expandable. Connectivity options on the Elife E7 Mini include Bluetooth, NFC, Wi-Fi, GPRS/ EDGE, GPS/A-GPS and 3G. It comes with dimensions 139.8x66.2x8.6mm and weighs 142.9 grams. The Elife E7 Mini packs a 2200mAh battery, which the online retailer's listing says can deliver up to 18 hours of talk time and up to 200 hours of standby time.

Commenting on the announcement, Arvind R. Vohra, Gionee Smartphones, India head, said, "The response to Elife E7 has been incredible, and we're excited for customers to experience the new Elife E7 mini as we think customers will love these thin, light, powerful new smartphones."
