SOCIOPRENEUR 2011
Feb 16th
After sixty three years of independence, India today boasts of an inspiring growth story. A nation famous for its ancient civilization, culture and heritage, it has taken us years of toil and struggle to script our present. But this new destination-in-demand for big business still features a society plagued with illnesses. Our inability to overcome the age-old issues of inadequate infrastructure, poverty, illiteracy and widespread economic disparity represents our greatest failure post-independence.
Why look towards the government and the bureaucracy when the transformation can begin at home? By overlooking our own capacities as harbingers of change and prosperity for the downtrodden in society, do we not sell ourselves short? Does not the new generation of citizens in the world’s most youthful nation possess the transformative power and vigour to re-shape society, and chart its own course to a brighter destiny?
WELCOME TO SOCIOPRENEUR 2011!
SOCIOPRENEUR is an annual event conducted by the E-Cell of Model Engineering College, Kochi and Young Indians (Yi) Net MEC. True to its tag “Think Different for A Change”, Sociopreneur recognizes the potential inherent in budding young entrepreneurs to mould the future of this country, and inspires them to utilize their creative and business acumen to create social ventures targeting any one or more of the several shortcomings of modern society. The event requires you to create a Business Plan, which when executed can and will create a social change/impact for the good. Participants from across Kerala, and indeed, across the whole of South India shall present their blueprints for the India they envision, and the work to be done to attain it!

Benefits of quitting smoking!!!
Sep 25th
I think one of the main reasons it’s so hard to quit smoking is because all the benefits of quitting and all the dangers of continuing seem very far away. Well, here’s a little timeline about some of the more immediate effects of quitting smoking and how that will affect your body RIGHT NOW.
* In 20 minutes your blood pressure will drop back down to normal.
* In 8 hours the carbon monoxide (a toxic gas) levels in your blood stream will drop by half, and oxygen levels will return to normal.
* In 48 hours your chance of having a heart attack will have decreased. All nicotine will have left your body. Your sense of taste and smell will return to a normal level.
* In 72 hours your bronchial tubes will relax, and your energy levels will increase.
* In 2 weeks your circulation will increase, and it will continue to improve for the next 10 weeks.
* In three to nine months coughs, wheezing and breathing problems will dissipate as your lung capacity improves by 10%.
* In 1 year your risk of having a heart attack will have dropped by half.
* In 5 years your risk of having a stroke returns to that of a non-smoker.
* In 10 years your risk of lung cancer will have returned to that of a non-smoker.
* In 15 years your risk of heart attack will have returned to that of a non-smoker.
So, you have more immediate things to look forward to if you quit now besides just freaking out about not being able to smoke.
Quit now!

A note of Lamentation
Sep 21st
Permit me to forget all. I failed everywhere. I couldn’t give you anything you desired. Forgive me. If I remain here, I will be remembering you. So, permit me to go. If I am sane, I will love you. So make me mad. In the morning to come, you shall not find me waiting for you on the wayside. But everywhere you shall see me. You will see me in the blooming flowers and in the vanishing golden clouds which we happily watched together. One day, you will confess to yourself that you should not have sent me empty-handed. One day you will feel sorry for the cruel words of goodbye you so mercilessly told me. Now with a heart that sobs endlessly, I understand: Love is something for the fools to dream and for the poets to sing! Slowly, you too will know with what intensity I loved you. For the time being, this fire retreats to its origin, Farewell, farewell forever.

Making good use of browser cache
Sep 21st
Guys have you ever waited for a video from youtube to load and after watching it wanted to download it?
Most of us may have and must have used external links to download them, waiting to download the whole video again.
But why downloading the same video twice?
Ya its true, You can have the video if you know where to look.
The answer is the cache folder itself.
I will show you how to get it from Mozilla Firefox and opera.( I’m Not good with IE, but You can always check at Temp dir )
- First you got to have the location of cache, which u can get by typing “about:cache” in mozilla or just “about” in opera
- copy the cache location and open it.
- [in opera its in "sesn" folder]
- By checking the details of the file like time and size you can easily identify the file. don’t mind the file name though
- chose the file and rename it ( change extension ) and you are done
- Enjoy
It can check the type of a single file now. I’m planning to make a better version.
Hope this Tip/Trick be useful to you.
And remember it works well with images and flash also .
if you are not sure which file is which, here is a simple tool that helps to find the original type of the file. (its not complete yet, but works for flv,mp4, pdf ,images and flash )
Difference between freeware,free software & open source
Sep 18th
Most computer users usually do not know the difference in Freeware,free software ,shareware and open source softwares.There is a lot of difference in all these terms.After studying a lot of websites I found some real good facts that I am sharing with you.
Freeware: Freeware software’s are available to use with no cost. Proprietary software’s can also be freeware software. Freeware software’s are generally used by companies to help developers, students and communities to develop software skills while using this freeware software, but not to loose their business potential software companies don’t give the source code of the software’s. Freeware software is different from shareware software.
Shareware:Shareware software’s are used for marketing purpose. Computer users can download and use a limited version of software or full version of software for a limited period of time. We can say that Shareware software is just like “Try before you buy”.
Free Software: Free software can be used, modified and studied without any restriction. Free software can be copied and distributed with or without any modifications. A software is free when the end user get’s full software with the human readable form of the program called as source code with above permissions. Free Software Foundation maintains the definition of free software.
Open Source: Open source software can be defined as computer software for which the source code of the software is available under a copyright that must meet the open source definition.
There can be different open source copyright laws enforced by different software vendors.
Hope this clears the difference between all of them.
