Why CAT crashed in INDIA ?
The trouble with the computer-aided CAT exam was diagnosed as ‘Conflicer’ and ‘W32 Nimda’, the two viruses that attacked the system d
isplay of the test, causing it to slow it down.
Efforts are now on to quarantine the systems from these viruses to ensure smooth conduct in the remaining days. Tests at 47 labs were called off on the first two days and 33 labs on Monday, on account of this problem affecting nearly 8,000 aspirants who will be rescheduled.
Samir Barua, director of IIM-A, which is the nodal agency for conducting CAT in the country, told reporters, “Though there were precautions taken, with so much of technology involved, it is hard to keep the system foolproof. The 47 centres which reported problems on Day one, were kept shut on Day 2 so that they could be checked. On Day 3, 33 were shut, which include some new centres also,” said Barua.
“All efforts are right now diverted to further isolate and quarantine the individual servers, increase virus protection and control accessibility so that the test can be conducted smoothly on the remaining days. These security measures are being taken not only in the centres that have experienced problems but all the others that were operating smoothly,” added Barua.
Charles Karnan, COO, Prometric, the US agency given the contract for CAT 2009 along with NIIT, said, “All the students who have suffered any difficulty in the taking the test will be accommodated, as all the centres were asked to keep a buffer in case of any such problem, right in the beginning. Of the 8,000 odd candidates that have faced problem, 62% have been rescheduled.” “This is the biggest test we have conducted. Usually these many students take tests like GRE, GMAT or Toefl across the year, but here we had to complete the process in 10 days,” he said.
Students facing problems at individual levels, have been asked to report to the Candidates Care Service at each centre. “Once their credentials are confirmed, they will be given a new test date and slot when they can appear for the test,” Satish Deodhar, convenor of CAT Centre said.
Asked how the three centres at Ahmedabad were glitch-free, Prof Deodhar, said, “The centres here were able to keep their servers quarantined better.”
What’s So Special About OLED TV?
OLED TV, or organic light emitting diode TV, boasts of a richer television viewing experience and is seen as the next level of the currently popular LED TV models. With an approximately 3 mm thin panel and impressive image contrast, colour, and brightness, the OLED is said to be the future of the TV industry. Well, probably until it lowers its price. Costing around $2500, OLED TV displays are highly-coveted for its features, yet it’s not so attainable.
Let’s see if the technology justifies its price tag.
1. Impressive contrast
OLED TV boasts of the ability to totally turn off an organic pixel, allowing it to produce deep black hues in astounding dark scene detail. The OLED T has a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1, compared to most LED TVs’ 500,000:1.
2. Life-like colours
OLEDs are able to intensify brightness and filter colours through a special micro-cavity structure that reproduces as much as 105% of the NTSC color space. This means pictures look much more life-like, as if the characters are jumping out on you.
3. High resolution
The OLED’s 960 x 540 native screen resolution for even the smaller models rivals that of a 40-inch LCD TV.
4. Energy efficient
Because the OLED technology gets rid of the need for backlighting, it is more energy efficient and consumes up to 40% less power than the usual 20-inch LCD displays.
5. Environment friendly
OLED is comprised of a highly organic carbon material.
The Samsung OLED TV Experience
A lot manufacturers have already come out with their own versions of the OLED technology, with Samsung leading the way with its 40-inch HDTV OLED and Netbooks. The proliferation of OLEDs is in its infancy at present, but it is expected that more OLED models will be out in the market in 2010. So far, Samsung has a 14.1-inch and 31-inch OLED panel in its upcoming lineup and LG has begun selling its 15-inchers.
Samsung remains at the top of its game in terms of providing quality viewing experience. Industry talk reveals that it is preparing for the launch of a new 5.5th generation technology for its 30-inch model, reportedly with a panel size of 1320mm x 1500mm. Expected launch of the new OLED models is early 2010.
Windows 7 users hit by new problem
Microsoft’s Windows 7, the hottest operating system packed with several new features and which is selling like hotcakes, is now making millions of users worldwide frustrated with an unique problem called ‘black screen of death’.
The error appears to occur after logging on to the affected systems, rendering the computer unresponsive, the software giant has acknowledged.
The black screen of death is a play on the ‘blue screen of death’ colloquialism used for the error screen that has plagued Windows users over the years, The Daily Mail reported.
The company said it was investigating a disabling glitch that seems to particularly affect its latest operating system.
However, it denied reports that its latest monthly security update has caused the serious system problems.
“We have conducted a comprehensive review of the November Security Updates, the Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool, and the non-security updates we released through Windows Update in November,” Microsoft said in a blog posting.
“That investigation has shown that none of these updates make any changes to the permissions in the registry. Thus, we don’t believe the updates are related to the ‘black screen’ behaviour described in these reports.”
Software firm Prevx had earlier suggested that the blank screen problem was caused by Microsoft’s latest security patch. However, it retracted from its claim later.
