Cyber crime increasing in India at fast clip: Chidambaram

Mumbai: The Union Home Ministry would like to work with the National Association of Software and Services Companies (NASSCOM) in the area of cyber crime, which is growing very fast, Home Minister P Chidambaram today said here.

He gave away NASSCOM Global Leadership Awards at a function here this evening.
"In 2009, there were 2,866 reported incidents of cyber crime in India. The US-based Internet Crime Control Centre has said that India ranks fifth in number of cyber crimes. Every year cyber crime in India is going up at the rate of 50 per cent. Over the last five years, around 9,000 Indian websites
were hacked," Chidambaram said.
NASSCOM and Data Security Council of India (DSCI) had prepared a detailed project report to set up cyber forensic labs across the country, he said.
"The idea is to set up cyber crime police stations and cyber forensic labs all over the country. We would also like to set up a national research centre for cyber forensics in the country, for which we would like to work together with Nasscom."

La Merce Festival in Barcelona

Towards the end of September Barcelona begins to limber up for the largest event on its festival calendar, La MercĂ©, a celebration of the city’s patron saint “Mare de Deu de la MercĂ©”. The festival heralds the end of summer and the onset of the autumn months. The festival is a real big deal for the people of Barcelona and the still temperate weather means that, in true Mediterranean fashion, must of the fun takes place outside. There’s a massive amount to do whilst the festival is on with events popping up all over the city and over 3000 artists

Lenovo IdeaPad U310 Review

A surefire sign that Ultrabooks are growing up is that prices are coming down. The latest example: the Lenovo IdeaPad U310, a $799 sequel to the U300s. This notebook features a faster Core i5 processor and pairs 32GB of flash memory with a 500GB hard drive to offer both fast resumes and gobs of storage. Lenovo also remembered to include an SD Card slot this time around (huzzah!) on the stylin' aluminum chassis. So just how much Ultrabook do you get for the money?

Toshiba 47L7200U review

The L7200U Cinema Series is Toshiba’s top-of-the-line flagship for 2012. The 47-inch model is a 3D, Smart, edgelit-LED HDTV that does a lot for an MSRP of $1,899. Compare that to Samsung’s 46-inch ES8000 , which is over $1000 more expensive. The 47L7200U is a sleek, attractive TV. It has a few interesting new functions, what Toshiba calls TriVector™ 2D to 3D Conversion, Dual-Core Cinema Quality Engine™, and a side-mounted IR flasher for linking infrared devices, such as a Comcast cable box, to the TV’s MediaGuide function. That’s a lot of branded technology.
