[AI] Portal for 'stories' on culture to come up
The Hindu News Update Service News Update Service Saturday, December 8, 2007 : 0940 Hrs Portal for 'stories' on culture to come up New York (PTI): To preserve the cultures around the world, three major organisations have joined hands to make traditional stories narrated in native languages available online. The project called "Our Stories" (www.ourstories.org) would be a joint initiative of UNICEF, One Laptop per Child (OLPC) and Google. Using laptops, mobile phones and other recording devices, children will record, in their native languages, the stories of elders, family members and friends, UNICEF and its partners said. The stories will be shared globally through the "Our Stories" web site, where they can be found on a Google Map, they said. By making the stories accessible around the world, the project hopes to contribute to a better understanding of a "shared humanity" across countries and cultures, they said. "Information technologies can help young people around the world learn more about each other," said UNICEF Executive Director Ann M Veneman. "Our Stories will promote dialogue across borders and cultures and give young people a voice on a wide range of issues", Veneman added. Low-cost XO laptops by One Laptop per Child will serve as a foundation to help build this digital archive of personal stories by providing children in developing countries with easy-to-use technology to record their stories and interviews, the partners said. "One Laptop per Child is very excited about partnering with Google and UNICEF to capture the thoughts and feelings of children and their communities around the world," said Walter Bender of One Laptop per Child. The "Our Stories" website will initially include stories collected by Brazil's Museum of the Person and stories recorded for UNICEF by young people in Ghana, Pakistan, Tanzania and Uganda, he said. Elliot Schrage of Google said: "Google as both a company and as a culture loves a good story. "We're proud to support the Our Stories global initiative and we hope that this collaboration will not just encourage better story-telling but better listening to stories."

[AI] Robot car race
Prepare for the invasion of the road-bots; Driverless cars are now clever enough to cruise intraffic and could slash the incidence of road accidents. But until legal and psychological issues are sorted out, the military might be the only ones to benefit Michael Reilly, Victorville, California DIESEL engine idling, Alice peers left, right, then straight at me. With her headlights on in the hazy morning, the imposing grey Ford van emits a loud beep, warning the world she is about to set off with no one at the wheel. We're at the starting line of this year's DARPA Urban Challenge (UC), a 6-hour, 100-kilometre race along the roads of a simulated city organised by the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Alice's laser eye swings cautiously around. A robot can't be nervous, but its human creators, a team of researchers from the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, certainly are. They hope to prove that cars like Alice are a glimpse of the future. It's 26 October, the first day of the race's qualifying round, a week-long test of robot road skills. Those that pass will take part in the race, in which they must navigate roads autonomously, obey the laws of traffic and, hardest of all, avoid each other. The winning team gets $2 million and a spot in robotics history. The US government hopes to turn the winners into military supply vehicles for war zones, while some companies hope to make robotic cars a feature of our cities, and maybe reduce road deaths into the bargain. As it turns out, Alice won't be the one to take us into this brave new world. A later test reveals that beneath her cautious exterior lies an affinity for accelerating into oncoming traffic. She does not advance to the finals. Nonetheless, her brethren do the robot world proud. Of the 11 teams that race in the final on 3 November, six cross the finish line. It's a gruelling race through unpredictable moving traffic, parking lots, construction sites and even an excursion down a dirt road into southern California's high desert. Despite a couple of fender benders, the results are encouraging. Driverless cars on our highways might be closer than you think. The UC isn't the Pentagon's first foray into robot racing. In the Grand Challenge (GC) of 2004 and 2005, robot cars had to navigate a dirt course across the Mojave desert (New Scientist , 19 November 2005, p 48). That race, in which robots had to avoid stationary obstacles and follow a list of GPS coordinates known as waypoints, was simple by comparison, though. According to veteran robot racer William Whittaker, whose Carnegie Mellon University team built the UC's winning car, Boss, it consisted of nothing more than "barbaric, flat-out charges with big rooster tails of dust". The UC, on the other hand, introduces much more sophisticated challenges. As the vehicles race together around the track, they must detect and avoid moving objects. If another vehicle stops, the robot cars must work out why and then decide whether to change route, drive around it or simply wait for it to move again. They must also obey the rules of the road, such as who has right of way at a four-way stop sign, and demonstrate skills such as parallel parking. Although Boss - a burly Chevrolet Tahoe - was the winner, most of the UC finalists have the same basic make-up. An array of lasers, radar emitters, sensors and stereo cameras function as the robot's eyes. This visual data is fed into software which sews it together to create a 3D model of the car's surroundings that is constantly updated. On the starting line, the cars are loaded with a map of the area and a list of waypoints they have to pass to ensure they cover challenging parts of the course. To decide on the best route, the vehicles start by combining the starting position, the waypoints and the map, and then modify this plan in response to the surroundings. For example, if a car encounters a large object in the road, it assumes it is a stopped vehicle. The car stops and checks how close this vehicle is to a traffic light, stop sign or intersection, which might indicate a reason for the delay. If the car doesn't move for a while or is not near an intersection, the robot determines that it has broken down or is parked, and overtakes. To do this, it simulates several possible routes, checks to see if any require breaking the rules of the road - such as jumping a curb - and then picks the shortest allowable route. The real test of the robots' mettle came in "zones" on the course that were blanked out on the map. When cars enter these, not only must they navigate using sensors alone, they are usually instructed to carry out a mission like "park safely in a spot". Parking is one thing that robots find easier than we do. One of the zones resembled a shopping mall-style parking lot. Most people would have driven straight into a spot and then backed in and out to straighten up, but Bos
[AI] Build a network with your body; Through-body communication
Build a network with your body; Through-body communication promises to turn us all into Vulcans. But can ever it escape the lab? David McNeill, Miguel A. Quintana. IT WAS a Michael Jackson video moment. We had come to see Nippon Telegraph and Telephone's new killer technology at the Japanese telecom giant's Smart Devices Lab in central Tokyo. Our guide was the quietly spoken lead researcher, Mitsuru Shinagawa, accompanied by his equally intense colleagues - a group of men so cerebral we were all but physically warmed by their collective brainpower. So it was disconcerting that when the demonstration started what leaped into my mind was a dumb pop-culture reference. Shinagawa and his team had rigged up a scene that came straight from Jacko's video for the 1983 hit Billie Jean . A securely locked safe was placed next to a perspex panel in the floor. As Shinagawa stepped onto the panel, it lit up. Then he reached out and tugged at the safe door - and it opened. He didn't moonwalk or spin on his heels, but the demonstration was impressive nevertheless. The safe had picked up a signal sent from a smart card hanging round Shinagawa's neck but, rather than relying on wires or radio waves, the signal travelled to the safe through his body. The lock recognised him merely by his touch. In Star Trek , Mr Spock was famously able to use the "Vulcan mind meld" to download information just by putting his hands on people's skulls. Now Shinagawa wants us all to be able to transfer information this way. The idea first became practical in the 1990s, but early attempts to make use of the body's natural electrical conductivity proved disappointing. Our skin is not a very good conductor so transfer was sluggish, and having clothes covering most of our bodies only made matters worse. Shinagawa and his group believe they have now solved the key problems. Their system, called RedTacton, borrows an important component of laser printers to turn the body into a resilient, high-speed data pipe with a capacity equal to that of a fast broadband connection. With a RedTacton card in your PDA or cellphone and your skin acting as a data cable, you can exchange business cards or documents with whatever or whoever you touch. It means a complete career resume can now be transferred in a quick handshake. This is only the start. How about cars, photocopiers and cellphones that change their settings to your personal preferences the moment you lay hands on them. Or vaults and desk cabinets that open only when authorised people reach for the lock, drug bottles that sound an alarm if an ageing grandparent tries to take the wrong pill, advertising panels that explain themselves to punters who tap them, or vending machines that respond to soft skin rather than hard cash. We could swap reams of documents, photo albums or even home movies simply by pressing palms. So how close are we to this digital nirvana? Since the 1990s, what techies call near-field intra-body communication has been one of industry's hot topics. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Media Lab investigated using the body to connect wearable computers and other gadgets, and even produced a prototype. IBM, Tokyo University and the Korea Institute of Science and Technology followed suit. In 2004, Microsoft patented a system designed to transform a host of small, wearable sensors into a personal area network. The company suggested it would allow you to link things like blood pressure meters inside earrings, say, with a PDA so you could monitor your health in real time. (The patent suggests the technology could be used on animals too, though why Lassie might need a digitally enabled diamante clip-on isn't clear.) In future, it seemed, networking would be as simple as holding hands. That was the idea, but protracted problems got in the way. The body is a poor conductor, so it is hard to make anything but small currents flow through it. Transferring these weak signals is made still more difficult by the fact that current will only flow through a complete circuit; if current is to flow down your arm to a door lock, it must also be able to flow from the door via the floor, say, back to your body. Also, unlike the components in a conventional electrical circuit, each of the elements in this circuit - things like your body, clothes, shoes and the floor you're standing on - have different electrical properties. Sudden changes in resistance caused by moving your feet, or simply sweating, can break the circuit. And electrical "noise" from nearby equipment can easily swamp the weak signal. Attempts to address the problems led to prototypes that consumed excessive amounts of power. They were also unreliable and worked little faster than an old-style telephone modem.Unleash the flood Now NTT claims to have a better solution. Shinagawa and his team have boosted transfer speeds from a trickling 50,000 bits per second to a flood
[AI] perspective
Are we becoming gods?; The age of scientific discovery is giving way to the age of mastery over our world, says superstring theorist Michio Kaku. But are we really ready for it? Michio Kaku WE STAND on the threshold of one of the greatest scientific revolutions in human history. Science is undergoing a profound transformation: we are making the transition from an age of discovery to an age of mastery. This is no "end of science", as some have claimed, but our historic transition from being passive observers of the dance of nature to becoming its active choreographers. In a BBC4 documentary, Visions of the Future , we decided to examine three key areas where this is manifesting itself: intelligence, life and matter - the three pillars of science. Few people realise the foundations for this transition have been laid down in all three. With the computer revolution and the proliferation of electronics we are beginning to manipulate artificial forms of intelligence; with the unravelling of DNA and the Human Genome Project we are no longer simply cataloguing genes but manipulating them; and with the discovery of the quantum theory we are beginning to manipulate the behaviour of individual atoms. Let's start with the intelligence revolution. We all know that computer power doubles every 18 months, but less well appreciated is the fact that this exponential explosion is ushering in an age of embedded, ubiquitous computing, with microchips everywhere in our environment: in our clothes, furniture, cars, even our glasses. Like electricity, the computer will "disappear" and intelligence will be everywhere and nowhere, hidden in the walls and the fabric of our lives, silently carrying out our wishes. The word "computer" may even disappear from the language. Cars, for example, will drive themselves. In the series, I "drive" one of these driverless cars, guided by a GPS unit that can pinpoint the car's location to within less than a metre. Eventually this may eliminate traffic jams and even traffic accidents. It sounds ludicrous now, but soon the glasses we wear will be like an office, with full internet capability. We could also have an entire sound and video home-entertainment system in those glasses, which will also recognise people's faces, and prompt us so we will always know to whom we are talking. Not only will our environment be computer-enhanced, it will be possible to create a totally artificial computer-generated environment. Already, millions of people play, fall in love, even make money in such virtual spaces as Second Life. In the field of artificial intelligence, scientists are trying to add emotions to robots because they now realise that emotions may hold one of the missing keys to artificial intelligence. All this raises profound social questions. How far do we want to push this technology? Will the machines take over and replace us? Perhaps. But the researchers we talk to also outlined alternative scenarios: for example, where we enhance our own intelligence, or restrict the intelligence of our machines, or even end up merging with our creations. Biotech is the second pillar of this revolution. For the programme I had my blood analysed and my genome placed on a CD-ROM. In the future, we all will have this genetic "owner's manual" which will list our damaged genes. Since Alzheimer's appears to run in my family, I was keen to know if I carried the APoE gene mutation, which can predispose individuals to Alzheimer's disease. Visiting Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, was fascinating. Researchers there have created a "human body shop" in which human organs can be grown from cells. Skin, noses, ears, bone and heart valves have been produced. Last year, its scientists hit the headlines when they created the world's first functioning bladder. They are now working on the liver. Elsewhere, researchers are making startling advances in isolating genes that influence ageing. By scanning the genes of thousands of elderly people and comparing them with the genes of young people, we may isolate the complete genetics of ageing. Extending the human lifespan may no longer be wild talk. How far should we take this technology? Curing disease is one thing, but enhancing ourselves and our children for cosmetic or more selfish reasons is a distinct possibility. In the programme, we show genetically enhanced mice with superior memory and strength. We have the counterparts of these genes in our own bodies, so what is to stop us making designer babies? Laws may have been passed to regulate this technology, but our society has done a miserable job of controlling other social problems such as the drug trade. What happens when there is trafficking in illegal genes? Already, the Olympics committee has set up a study group to investigate ways of detecting genetically enhanced athletes. Our third pillar is the quantum revolution. This forms t

Re: [AI] On laptops and Operating Systems
Hi everyone, Sorry it took a while to respond to Sudhir's questions. Let me clarify why I am not willing to switch to mac at the moment. First as stated by someone before, screen reading software of Mac is very limited in terms of it's functionality. A crood comparison will be with Windows inbuilt screen reader called the narrator. Second, Mac is more secured than windows looks like a myth. There has already been attempts to break in to the system and it's just the matter of time before mack system gets attacked. Third, Mac has a very poor customer service and many of my friends had a bad experience with it. Fourth, Mac is extremely useful for those who extensively use photo editing, film editing and other graphics. So naturally it is not of any use to me. Fifth, Mac is very costly in comparison to a basic PC and you can actually buy almost two laptops. Sixth, there are some roomers going on in terms of the merger of Apple network with that Microsoft. In fact many of my friends are of the view that the navigational system of vista is some what similar to Mac. So for all these reasons we are locked in to Microsoft products. Although I never used an open source screen reader, I am opened to experiments as they become more accessible.

I have been following the various threads on AI dealing with laptops and the various OSs like Windows Vista, Windows XP, Ubuntu etc and am utterly confused as to the right choice (if there is something like that) since I am myself contemplating the purchase of a laptop. On the one hand, most reputed manufacturers (except Dell) seem to have stopped shipping XP-based machines, while Vista is a real pain from what Vetri and Syed have been reporting and I discovered myself. Ubuntu seems to be good from the point of view of immunity from malware though I am not too sure whether we have a good eco-system to support us like a large community of blind users, applications for use in a business environment etc. We cannot take political decisions on matters of OS, you know, just because Open Source is the latest fad and we all love to hate Bill Gates. (smile) What about iMacs, laptops running Mac OSX, which, I understand, is a Linux variant and equally immune from malware. I remember reading somewhere that Mac OSX comes bundled with a screen reader, and, since it is a proprietory product, getting support from the company will be easy. The only remaining question is whether we have a community of blind Mac users (either in India or abroad) to pose queries to, as we do in AI ? Pl share your views and experiences on iMac, Mac OSX, the bundled screen reader and the eco-system. Would request someone like Vetri, who is in the Apple country and purchased a laptop recently, to tell us why he opted for one running Bill's latest (still-born ?) baby ?

New software launched to take IT to Indian masses Tel Aviv (PTI): Poor skills in English will no longer be a handicap to gain IT proficiency for about 900 million Indian masses, thanks to a novel software developed by an Indian institution and an Israeli company which has been formally launched here. 'Lekhika 2007' - a software application, developed by the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) under India's IT Ministry, and Israel's FTK Technologies, covers ten scripts and 3000 characters and supports Windows, MAC and Linux. A demonstration of the application showed that the language letters are clearly visible on the screen and it being an intuitive software, predicts the next alphabet or 'matra' making it simple for the user even if he happens to be fairly new to computers. The application is expected to enable masses in India, who do not know English, to gain computer skills in their own language thanks to its user-friendly, comprehensive, cost-efficient format. The first copy of the software was presented to the Indian ambassador in Israel, Arun Kumar Singh, during the release ceremony at the Indian embassy here. "Due to the fact that English literacy in India is a mere 10 per cent, such a solution will cater to the remaining 90 per cent population and can prove to be an effective tool in driving IT literacy programmes in India," Harel Cohen, CEO of FTK Technologies, said at the launch. The software costing between 2500 and 3000 rupees currently supports Hindi, Bengali, Telugu, Marathi, Tamil, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Urdu and Punjabi, but by 2009 will include all the officially recognised Indian languages, Cohen said.

Re: [AI] Visually impaired Ayurvedic doctor helps clear skin and hair

Re: [AI] Robots that help the disabled, and also those that play violin
I hope they come out with robot guides for the blind that can replace guide dogs and the white cane soon. Hellen Keller once said what a blind person actually needs is a second self. A robot has the potential to become that second self, without making any demands on its user in return. Such a development would effectively make us totally independent. Geetha - Original Message - From: "vishnu ramchandani" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Friday, December 07, 2007 2:31 PM Subject: [AI] Robots that help the disabled, and also those that play violin Robots that help the disabled, and also those that play violin AP Tokyo: Compared to a virtuoso, its rendition was a trifle stilted and, well, robotic. But Toyota's new robot plays a pretty solid Pomp and Circumstance on the violin. The five-foot-tall, all-white robot, shown Thursday, used its mechanical fingers to push the strings correctly and bowed with its other arm, coordinating the movements well. The company has already shown robots that roll around to work as guides and have fingers dexterous enough to play the trumpet. Katsuaki Watanabe, the President of Toyota, said robotics will be a core business for the company in coming years. They will test robots at hospitals, facilities and other places starting next year, he said. And the company hopes to put what it calls "partner robots" to real use by 2010, he said. "We want to create robots that are useful for people in everyday life," he said. Watanabe also presented a picture of the future of robotic health care. Wheelchair-like robots, called 'mobility robots', which were also displayed Thursday, would offer "bed-to-bed" services to people, including the elderly and the sick, just like cars take people "door-to-door." At the demonstration, a man got on a mobility robot, a motorised two-wheeled chair, and then scooted around. The moving machine can also go up and down slopes, and over bumps, without upsetting the person sitting on the chair, because the wheels could adjust to such changes. Toyota said it is working with universities to speed up robotics development. Get the freedom to save as many mails as you wish.

[AI] Fw: [bookshare-discuss] Copyright and scanning a book for personnal use
- Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2007 12:44 AM Subject: [bookshare-discuss] Copyright and scanning a book for personnal use I was intrigued when Jim from Bookshare mentioned that blind individuals could crack an e-book so that they can read it with a screen reader. I located a judgment from the librarian of congress who passes out the exemptions for the Digital millennium copyright law. And indeed a blind person can crack an e-book in order to be able to read it with a screen reader. But I was wondering where is the permission to scan a book, so that you can read it with a screen reader, Kurzweil 1000 or a Book Port? The Chaffee amendment allows an organization like Bookshare to scan and distribute books for people with print disabilities. But where's the legislation that protects users like you and me in terms of our making copies of books and altering them into digital format for reading? Any information would be greatly appreciated. I'm sure this is not going to change my behavior, but I am interested in the issue. James Nuttall -- Michigan To unsubscribe send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the subject unsubscribe.

- Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 05, 2007 6:41 PM Subject: [bookshare-discuss] Re: FW: Copyright and scanning a book for personnal use On further research into scanning books by the blind I found an interesting citation. Blind or visually impaired individuals can scan books in order to read them. When the Congress passes the 1976 Copyright Act they defined "fair use", which allows for the copying of portions of books. But in the House of Representatives discussion of examples of "fair use", they gave the specific example of blind individuals making copies of books in order to read them. Thus, when a blind person or a person working on the behave of a blind person makes a copy of a book (braille, audio-tape, and now scanning) this is considered legal "fair use". It is fair use since the blind individual is not able to access the book in its original form. It is interesting that the example of "fair use" specifically mentions "blind" individuals.

[AI] Visually impaired Ayurvedic doctor helps clear skin and hair
Screen India Friday, November 16, 2007 Visually-impaired Ayurvedic doctor helps clear skin and hair Finger on the pulse He feels your pulse for a minute or two, lets go of your hand and has a fair idea of what ails you. Pulse diagnose may be a regular practice in Ayurveda, but Dr Sameer Mansuri's supersensitivity to any ailment has another reason, Dr Mansuri is visually-impaired by birth! And according to him it is his handicap that has given him this power. "Your concentration decreases by 50 per cent when you can see, as you are distracted by everything around you. I am happy to be blind because it helps my work!" says the 32-year-old Ayurvedic doctor. Besides providing diagnosis and treatment for diseases like diabetes, blood pressure and other serious ailments, the doctor specializes in beauty treatments for enhancing complexion, slimming and better hair growth! And this has brought a whole lot of Bollywood artistes scurrying to his clinic in suburban Mumbai. Bollywood celebs like Hrithik Roshan, Salman Khan, Viveik Oberoi, Ashmit Patel, Subhash Ghai, newcomer Harman Baweja and other are his friends and patients. "As a professional doctor it would be unethical disclose what my patients suffer from, but the basic problem for many actors is the same. Low-energy level, stress, skin blemishes and rashes because of make-up and harsh lights. Because of their stressful lives and erratic schedules many also suffer from hair loss and thinning. Ayurveda has ample solutions for these problems. People like Harman Baweja came to me after trying other treatments and were very happy with my treatment for his acne," says the doctor. While producer-director Subhash Ghai acknowledges that it helped elevate his energy levels, Ashmit Patel uses his shampoo and oil for those silken tresses. Dr Mansuri is not only a graduate in Ayurved but a PhD in the science of Ayurved and Alternative Medicine from the open university of Colombo, and has trained more than 500 doctors in the field of Ayurvedic medicines. He refutes the charges that Ayurvedic medicinie can have side- effects because of the metal content. "One has to learn and understand the correct mix and proportion. What is good for one can be poison for another. Knowing the fine difference is a gift and one which I have been blessed with," says the doctor cheerfully. Ayurveda has also taken a knocking for substandard medicines and treatments being long drawn out. Refutes the doctor slowly. "Most ailments today are the results of a wrong lifestyle, so the first thing we do is to cleanse the internal system with our medicines. This improves the blood circulation, rids the body of impurities, and slowly everything else just falls into place. The treatment can be anything from 45 days to three months depending on the ailment. Harman for one saw a drastic improvement in his skin within seven days of applying our herbal masks. We have short-term treatments which show effect after two weeks. As for substandard stuff being used. Ayurvedic ingredients like pearl, gold and kasturi are very expensive so many docs may use cheaper substitutes and steroids but I source my ingredients from the Himalayas, Punjab, Andhra Pradesh and other states. Don't forget Ayurved is being practiced since centuries and was the treatment for our rajas and maharajas," he says, also adding that since his problem is congenital there is no cure, but he has treated many blind people and helped them recover their eyesight.

On a personal Note, I am often amazed by tall claims of ayurveda, homoeopathy and other such systems of medicine, but they readily give up in cases of emergency and compell one to fall back on allopathy. Perhaps they are suitable only for some chronic conditions not requiring dyre medical interventions and even in those conditions, acute phase requires allopathic intervention and then allopaths rightly blame patients for not availing medicine at the right time.

Ashmit Patel Bollywood: Ashmit Patel is a happy man since he doesn't need to worry much about his general wellbeing these days. One of his closest confidantes is a very special doctor. Amisha Patel's kid brother shares a great bond with Dr. Samir Mansuri who was born blind and has been practicing Ayurveda for almost ten years Reveals Ashmit,"Actually a friend of mine talked about this blind association which was organizing an event in Ahmedabad. I met Dr. Mansuri at the airport and we readily struck up a very good rapport. Ayurveda usually works on the sense of touch. So just by shaking hands with me he was able to tell me about the problems I had." now. The actor happened to meet him some two years back. Dr Mansuri who has also treated the likes of Vivek Oberoi, Salman Khan , Subhash Ghai and Ashok Mehta is equally impressed with Ashmit. He says, "I was looking for a celebrity to grace a cultural programme for blind singers and dancers some two years back. And somebody suggested Ashmit's name. I met him on the 5TH OF September, 2005 at Ahmedabad airport and when just by shaking hands with him and feeling his pulse, I was able to tell him about his problems, he was impressed and happy. I prescribed him medicines and thereby a friendship was built. After knowing him so well, I can prescribe medicines over the phone too." Dr Mansuri is now in the process of opening an organization for blind people called 'Blind Dream'. He has got a clinic for himself in Mumbai too and Ashmit meets him often there. "He is really gifted. I talk to him quite a bit and meet up often, almost every week. If I am ailing or something he can tell right away what ailment I may be having, even over the phone. He does a lot of work for the welfare of the blind as he is blind himself and I am there in every capacity to help him out. Because what he has given me is really much more," says Ashmit who has been lying low for a while but has a number of interesting films scheduled for release in 2008. Dr Mansuri also showers high words of praise for his patient. "The fact that he accepted the invitation without even enquiring what it was about impressed me no end. He is a great human being. In today's times all celebs are hardly like that and I will keep wishing him well always," adds Dr. Mansuri. sourse: http://entertainment.oneindia.in/bollywood/news/ashmit-patel-samir-mansuri-131107.html and also source: http://eref.in/18270/ashmits_great_bond_samir_mansuri Regards Mamta CEO, Blind's dream.

BANGALORE: An entire stadium in Bangalore will be Bluetooth-enabled when India will play against Pakistan tomorrow, proving yet again that Bangalore is at the forefront of tech innovations in India. Bangalore-based Telibrahma is working to deploy the radio technology at Chinnaswamy Stadium. Forum Mall and Commercial Street got the technology recently, and the stadium will be the third location in Bangalore to be thus networked. For publicity Suresh Narsimhan, CEO, Telibrahma, said, "We are using the match to get good publicity for the technology." Telibrahma will use Bluetooth to offer deals and discounts on premium brands. Trivia, match updates, statistics, and profiles of legendary players from Karnataka will also be pushed into your cellphone if you are in the stadium. But Bluetooth does not connect you to the Internet. Spectators who participate in contests will receive prizes. The India-Pakistan tour has proved a popular medium for many promotions. Movies like Om Shanti Om, Saawariya and Goal have already leveraged the current series for publicity. Bluetooth advertising is now riding the cricket bandwagon.

Robots that help the disabled, and also those that play violin AP Tokyo: Compared to a virtuoso, its rendition was a trifle stilted and, well, robotic. But Toyotas new robot plays a pretty solid Pomp and Circumstance on the violin. The five-foot-tall, all-white robot, shown Thursday, used its mechanical fingers to push the strings correctly and bowed with its other arm, coordinating the movements well. The company has already shown robots that roll around to work as guides and have fingers dexterous enough to play the trumpet. Katsuaki Watanabe, the President of Toyota, said robotics will be a core business for the company in coming years. They will test robots at hospitals, facilities and other places starting next year, he said. And the company hopes to put what it calls partner robots to real use by 2010, he said. We want to create robots that are useful for people in everyday life, he said. Watanabe also presented a picture of the future of robotic health care. Wheelchair-like robots, called mobility robots, which were also displayed Thursday, would offer bed-to-bed services to people, including the elderly and the sick, just like cars take people door-to-door. At the demonstration, a man got on a mobility robot, a motorised two-wheeled chair, and then scooted around. The moving machine can also go up and down slopes, and over bumps, without upsetting the person sitting on the chair, because the wheels could adjust to such changes. Toyota said it is working with universities to speed up robotics development. Get the freedom to save as many mails as you wish.

[AI] For the first time in India, a full cricket stadium
For the first time in India, a full cricket stadium will be connected by Bluetooth Going hi-tech: Bluetooth at Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore, will mean that you can receive trivia and profiles of players on your cellphone. BANGALORE: An entire stadium in Bangalore will be Bluetooth-enabled when India will play against Pakistan tomorrow, proving yet again that Bangalore is at the forefront of tech innovations in India. Bangalore-based Telibrahma is working to deploy the radio technology at Chinnaswamy Stadium. Forum Mall and Commercial Street got the technology recently, and the stadium will be the third location in Bangalore to be thus networked. For publicity Suresh Narsimhan, CEO, Telibrahma, said, We are using the match to get good publicity for the technology. Telibrahma will use Bluetooth to offer deals and discounts on premium brands. Trivia, match updates, statistics, and profiles of legendary players from Karnataka will also be pushed into your cellphone if you are in the stadium. But Bluetooth does not connect you to the Internet. Spectators who participate in contests will receive prizes. The India-Pakistan tour has proved a popular medium for many promotions. Movies like Om Shanti Om, Saawariya and Goal have already leveraged the current series for publicity. Bluetooth advertising is now riding the cricket bandwagon.

Re: [AI] Question regarding forms mode
just press PC cursor key i.e. numpad plus key to turn forms mode off. Rajesh -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] pres PC ccursor key i.e. plus key on numpad Sent: Friday, December 07, 2007 12:30 PM To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Subject: [AI] Question regarding forms mode Folks: I tried using my yahoo mail to see how accessible it is. Though it is generally working fine, I have a problem in sending mails --When I keep forms mode on and type the messages and addresses and press tab, I don't see the send button. However without keeping on forms mode, I noticed there was send button. Since I don't know how to keep forms mode off after typing the requisite info, I was unable to send messages from Yahoo. I found this very annoying, as I could locate send button with forms mode on in g mail. How do we approach this, any idea?
