[11:36, 8/6/2015] Nitun Singh: ♨♨♨♨♨♨♨

Today is a significant day in the history of the Internet. On�� 6 August 1991, exactly twenty four years ago, the World Wide Web became publicly available.
�� British computer scientist�� Tim Berners-Lee is the inventor of the Web.As a CERN employee, Berners-Lee distributed a proposal on 12 March 1989 for what would eventually become the World Wide Web.
�� The initial proposal intended a more effective CERN communication system, but Berners-Lee also realized the concept could be implemented throughout the world.

�� Berners-Lee and Belgian computer scientist Robert Cailliau proposed in 1990 to use hypertext "to link and access information of various kinds as a web of nodes in which the user can browse at will", and Berners-Lee finished the first website in December of that year.

�� The first test was completed around 20 December 1990 and Berners-Lee reported about the project on the newsgroup alt.hypertext on 7 August 1991.

[19:08, 8/6/2015] Rakesh~������: 10 साल बाद सोनी भारत में शुरू करेगी टीवी की मैन्‍युफैक्‍चरिंग:

जापान की कंज्‍यूमर इलेक्‍ट्रॉनि‍क कंपनी सोनी जल्‍द ही अपने पॉपुलर टीवी ब्रांड ब्रावि‍या की मैन्‍युफैक्‍चरिंग भारत में करने जा रही है। कंपनी यह कदम सरकार के मेक इन इंडि‍या प्रोग्राम को देखते हुए उठा रही है।
कंपनी ने जारी बयान में कहा कि‍ सोनी इंडि‍या अपने श्रीपरेंबदूर यूनि‍ट में टीवी की बढ़ती डि‍मांड को पूरा करने की योजना बना रही है। सोनी यह प्‍लांट कॉम्‍पटि‍शन टीम टेक्‍नोलॉजी (इंडि‍या) प्रा. लि‍. (सीटीटीआई) के साथ मि‍लकर ऑपरेट करेगी है। सीटीटीआई फॉक्‍सकोन ग्रुप की एक यूनि‍ट है।
एंड्रॉयड और एलसीडी से होगी शुरुआत
सोनी टीवी मैन्‍युफैक्‍चरिंग की शुरुआत एंड्रॉयल और एलसीडी मॉडल्‍स से कर सकती है। ब्रावि‍या को भारत में बनाने का फैसला घरेलू बाजार बढ़ती डि‍मांड को पूरा करने के लि‍ए कि‍या गया है।
प्लांट में सोनी शुरू में 43 इंच की टीवी के दो मॉडल बनाने जा रही है, जो गूगल के एंड्रॉयड ऑपरेटिंग सिस्टम पर चलेगा। कंपनी प्रोडक्शन लाइन का विस्तार करते हुए जल्द 22-43 इंच स्क्रीन वाले टेलीविजन को भी इसके दायरे में लाएगी।
करीब एक दशक बाद सोनी करेगी मेक इन इंडि‍या
एक दशक से भी ज्यादा समय के बाद सोनी कॉरपोरेशन फिर से भारत में मैन्युफैक्चरिंग शुरू करने जा रही है। मीडि‍या रि‍पोर्ट के मुताबि‍क, सोनी इंडिया के मैनेजिंग डायरेक्टर केनिचिरो हिबी ने बताया कि कंपनी भारत में स्मार्टफोन बनाने का विकल्प भी खंगाल रही है और अपना प्लांट लगा सकती है।
मेक इन इंडि‍या पॉलि‍सी का फायदा उठाने की कोशि‍श
हि‍बी के मुताबि‍क, सरकार की मेक इन इंडिया पॉलिसी और सोनी के लिए ग्लोबल लेवल पर भारत की बढ़ती अहमियत से हमने एक बार फिर यहां मैन्युफैक्चरिंग शुरू करने का फैसला किया है। लोकल प्रोडक्शन से हमें कॉस्ट कम करने में मदद मिलेगी, जिससे हम दूसरी कंपनियों का दाम के मामले में मुकाबला कर पाएंगे।
सोनी के लिए अमेरिका, चीन और जापान के बाद भारत चौथा बड़ा मार्केट है। फाइनेंशियल ईयर 2014-15 में सोनी इंडिया की सेल्स 10,600 करोड़ रुपए रही और इसके रेवेन्यू में टेलीविजन और स्मार्टफोन की हिस्सेदारी 40-40 फीसदी रही।
मौद्रिक नीति समीक्षा में नीतिगत दरें रही अपरिवर्तित:

भारतीय रिजर्व बैंक(आरबीआई) की मौद्रिक नीति की तीसरी समीक्षा में आरबीआई ने आरबीआई ने नीतिगत दरों को अपरिवर्तित रखा है। आरबीआई ने रीपो दर को 7.25 प्रतिशत और नकदी आरक्षित अनुपात (सीआरआर) चार प्रतिशत पर अपरिवर्तित रखा।
हालांकि बैंक पर दरों में, कटौती का दबाव बढ़ रहा था लेकिन कुछ विशेषज्ञों  की यह भी मानना था कि खुदरा मुद्रास्फीति के चलते बैंक ऐसा न करें।
आरबीआई ने कहा कि आर्थिक स्थिति में सुधार की प्रक्रिया जारी है लेकिन खाद्य और ईंधन को छोड़, अन्य क्षेत्रों में मुद्रास्फीति का बढऩा सबसे चिंताजनक है। साथ ही बैंक ने वर्ष 2015-16 में 7.6 प्रतिशत वृद्धि का अनुमान बरकरार रखा है। 
आरबीआई न कहा कि बैंकों ने जनवरी से अब तक कर्ज पर ब्याज दरों में 0.3 प्रतिशत की कमी की है जबकि इसी दौरान नीतिगत ब्याज दर में 0.75 प्रतिशत की कटौती की गई है।
वहीं सार्वजनिक क्षेत्र के बैंकों में सरकारी पूंजी आने से ऋण का कारोबार बढ़ेगा और ब्याज दरों में कटौती का सिलसिला आगे बढेगा साथ ही नकदी की स्थिति बेहतर होगी.
