Microsoft’s new tab “Surface” Launch Microsoft Tablet

Microsoft’s new tab “Surface” Launch

Microsoft Corp has finally introduced its own line of tablet computers, marking a major strategic shift for the software giant in its 37-year history. The idea is clearly to take on rival Apple’s iPad and re-invent itself in a fast changing and hyper competitive technology space. Called Surface, the tablet includes a keyboard that doubles as a cover. It runs on the new Windows 8 operating system, and is scheduled to be available for the Christmas shopping season. The new software designed for Surface is the biggest overhaul of Windows in years, and features a new touch-friendly interface dubbed “Metro”. The device comes in two versions. The lighter, thinner version of the Surface tablet aimed at iPad, is built on Nvidia chip designed by ARM Holdings, and will feature Microsoft’s popular Office suite of applications. It has a 10.6 inch screen and comes in 32GB and 64GB memory sizes. The second is a heavier tablet aimed at taking on lightweight “ultrabooks”, which runs on traditional Intel chips, and comes in 64GB and 128GB models. That will be available about three months after the ARM version. The pricing details are not out yet, but Microsoft said it would be competitive. The devices will be retailed online and will be available in Microsoft’s new brick-and-mortar stores in the United States as well.

Swagath restaurant at Hotel Janpath Connaught Place review

Swagath restaurant at Hotel Janpath, Connaught Place, is one of the best places to eat in Delhi. A restaurant-cum-bar, it has an extensive menu, with an interesting section on shakahari kebabs for vegetarians. However, it is best known for its authentic south Indian seafood. It is a fine-dining restaurant that specialises in Chettinad, Malabari and Goan delicacies. I relish the crab kuzambu. It is spicy and cooked in coconut gravy. It is a Tamilian preparation with the flavour of mint, mustard, khuskhus and curry leaves.

The 7 Joys of Life by Dr. Amit Nagpal - Review by Jeevan Nair

The book begins with a chapter on self-knowledge, which is so lacking in the modern society. We are so busy learning about objects and other people; we forget to make an attempt to know ourselves. We do not know our innermost desires, our deepest passions and what gives us intense joy or grief. We are not aware of the working of our mind and emotions. Often we don't like the way we are headed, yet we refuse to do what is required-going within. We rather search for answers here and there, not even aware of the treasure called human soul.

The best thing about the book is that it simplifies the complex concepts of spirituality and makes personal growth and meditation appear joyful to the reader. The 18 contributions from 6 countries across 4 continents add to the spice and flavor. The drawback in my view is that most of the contributions are from western part of the world and more contributions from eastern part could have provided a more balance and richness to the book.
