Hi I will need to configure a laptop running GNU/Linux with an external TV Tuner card via USB which I am yet to purchase. Does anyone here know of any particular brand/model of TV tuner card which is properly supported by the Linux kernel? Sharing of any experiences would help a great deal. Thanks, Sarath M S

India's $35 Tablet- The Everything Killer

by Vivek Varghese Cherian

Hi, On July 22 a $35 (or 1500 INR) hand-held Linux computing device was unveiled by Shri Kapil Sibal, the Union Minister for Human Resource Development of India. The goal of the project is to lower the price to around $20 in time and eventually reaching the amazing price of $10. In a tablet form-factor and using an unspecified variant of Linux (that some have said might be Android), the cost should remain low while offering a wide range of functionality. The Sakshat descendant is said to be capable of supporting video conferencing, viewing a wide selection of video and image files, word processing, de/compressing files, printing with CUPS, full Internet browsing with Javascript and Flash, wireless communications, and remote device management.

UC protest

by Nagarjuna G

May be it is already known to you, but I thought it is interesting protest, and we should ask our Indian scientists to do the same. all UC Faculty would be strongly encouraged to: - Decline to peer review manuscripts for journals from the Nature Publishing Group. - Resign from Nature Publishing Group editorial and advisory boards. - Cease to submit papers to the Nature Publishing Group. - Refrain from advertising any open or new UC positions in Nature Publishing Group journals. - Talk widely about Nature Publishing Group pricing tactics and business strategies with colleagues outside UC, and encourage sympathy actions such as those listed above. We clearly recognize that the consequences of such a boycott would be complex and present hardships ...
