Mozilla Comes In A New Avatar With Its Firefox 12 Version

Mozilla Firefox browser is famous for its user-interface, support and security. Though the Firefox browser is open-source and free-to-use, but due to the hard work of Mozilla developers, no one can say that Firefox works like free browser. Firefox provides everything that a paid browser can provide (like Microsoft Internet Explorer).

This time Mozilla is launching a new update by the name Firefox 12 Aurora, which provides a better experience than the previous versions of it.

Mozilla Firefox 12 Version

Here is a short list of benefits :

1. Smooth-Scrolling & Auto-Scrolling :

Firefox 12 has Smooth-Scrolling enabled by default. Though the feature is provided to improve the Scrollinmg experience of the users. But if you don’t like this then you can disable this feature from

Mozilla Firefox > Options > Advanced > General > Use Smooth Scrolling

2. New CSS Properties Support : 

Firefox 12 Supports new CSS properties like column-fill, and text-align-last. So the web developers can use these properties in their web-pages. Additionally the experimental features like ECMAScript 6 Map and Set objects, and Sharp Variables Support are introduced in Firefox 12.

3. Source Code line numbering :

The another feature of Firefox 12 is Source Code line numbering, which will help the developers in debugging the source code of web-pages.

4. Less User-Command while Updating :

The new Firefox 12 will prompt one less user-command in its up-gradation process.

Personal Suggestion :

I suggest you to test the New Firefox 12 Version and report to the Firefox authority, if you see any kind of errors in it. This will help the Firefox 12 beta to become a Stable version.

If you are a web-developer, then you can visit Mozilla Hacks Blog and https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Firefox_12_for_developers to have a look at the development related changes in Firefox 12.

Nokia Lumia 800 comes with Windows 7.5 Mango Operating System, with 3.7 inch AMOLED and Capacitive Multi-Touchscreen. Lumia 800 screen is protected with Gorilla Glass, which is the strongest material for Phones’ Screen. The device screen has 16 million colors with a screen resolution of 480×800 pixels.

Lumia 800 has a 1.4Ghz Scorpion CPU, Qualcomm MSM8255 Snapdragon Chipset and Adreno 205 GPU.
While talking about the memory, Nokia Lumia 800 has 16GB internal storage, but no external SD Card Allowed. To speedup the processes in the phone, it has 512 MB RAM.

In terms of Connectivity, Nokia Lumia 800 has Wi-Fi, 3G, MicroUSB Support, and Bluetooth with EDR and A2DP (version 2.1). Nokia Lumia 800 has an 8 Mega-Pixel Camera, with Carl-Zeiss Optics, Autofocus and Dual LED Flash.

To increase the users base, Nokia has also improved their App-Store, and renamed the earlier Ovi store to Nokia App Store. Nokia App Store consists of a number of quality mobile apps. Though the apps can’t be compared with iPhone Store and Android Market, but still, they are trying to come into the competition.

Price : Rs. 28500 ($550)

In-spite of a number of features, Nokia Lumia 800 has given a few disappointments, like
1. No front camera for video-chatting even though the phone supports 3G.
2. Upto 730p HD Videos can only be played in Nokia Lumia 800, while other phones like Galaxy Note can play HD videos at even 1080p.
3. The price of Lumia 800 is also quite high, as compared to the other phones with similar features present in the market.

DDA to Construct Prefabricated Homes – New Technology for EWS and LIG Flats in DDA Housing Scheme 2014-2015 : Delhi Development Authority : www.dda.org.in

DDA always stays in the news for its Flats scheme and the allotments. And at this time, DDA has come-up with a new mission of developing 1 lac Flats [in which 2300 EWS housing flats will be constructed in Pocket-8, Sector 23B, Dwarka (Near Radhasoami Satsang Center and Pochanpur Village)] with new Prefabricated Technology.

To display what kind of the future flats would be developed, DDA has also built a block of 60 sample flats for the EWS (Economical Weaker Sections). These Sample flats have 1 Bedroom, a Kitchen, a Bathroom with Ceramic Tiles and a lobby area. Each building has five floors in it.

In every housing society will have separate Community Center, Park, Grocery Shops, Guard Hut and Sufficient Parking Space.

Here are a few photos and a video taken from OriginalTips.com :

First Video of DDA Prefabricated EWS (Sample+Under Construction) Flats in Dwarka (Pocket 8, Sector 23B)

On the very first time, DDA is using new Prefabricated Technology to construct almost 1 Lac Flats.

Prefabricated Home Technology - House on Wheels - 1

Example Prefabricated Home Technology – House on Wheels

Prefabricated Technology uses Natural Cement, Portable Slabs, Staircases, Beams, Precast Columns etc which could be easily shipped and assembled. The Houses which are developed by using this Prefabricated Technology, are known as the Prefabricated Homes [or Prefab Homes or 3 S Technology (Speed, Safety and Sustainability)]. Prefabricated Technology is considered to be environmental friendly, as use of timber is completely eliminated in developing such homes.

Such homes typically take 2 to 3 months to get built.

Prefabricated Home Technology - Construction for DDA EWS and Flats

Example 2 : Construction for Prefabricated Home Technology Houses

 

By using this portable technology, DDA will save a huge amount of time and money as well.

Other Benefits :
1. Expenditure will be lowered by 25-40%
2. Provides Relief from the problems of Strong Winds, Fire and Water Problems
3. Effective in Earthquake Prone Areas as well.

Apart from the Flats in Sector 23 (Dwarka), DDA is also bringing around 11000 flats in Rohini, 6000 flats in Narela and Najafgarh by using the same Prefab Home Technology. The tentative completion year for this project is 2014.

The Union Cabinet Minister of Urban Development, Kamal Nath, has said to Original Tips, that DDA has taken a nice initiative by bringing such scheme for the Economical Weaker Sections.

First this technology will be used only in the EWS and LIG Flats, but if it gets success, then MIG and HIG Flats will also be constructed by using the same Prefab Home Technology.

Tentative Cost for Flats : As per DDA Officials, 1-Room flats are estimated to cost about Rs.4 Lacs. To get profit, DDA will sell them at a price of Rs.4.5 Lacs. While 2-Room Flats will be sold at Rs.9 Lacs.

So, Anna Hazare and a few team members of Campaign-India Against Corruption (N. Santosh Hedge – Former Justice of the Supreme Court of India & Lokayukta of Karnataka with Prashant Bhushan – A senior lawyer in the Supreme Court) prepared a draft called Jan Lokpal Bill (People’s Ombudsman Bill), which will provide more power and strict provisions to the Lokpal.

After looking at the seriousness of the public, Indian National Congress Government accepted all demands of the movement, and on the very next day they issued a notification to form a joint standing committee, which will work on passing the Jan-Lokpal Bill.

Update (4 Dec 2011) : The standing committee formed by Indian National Congress has prepared a Lokpal bill which is completely different from the original one, what they promised to pass. Anna admitted “The government have betrayed us”. And due to this Anna has decided to start his Indefinite fast again from 27th December. Team Anna has also started a Car Rally in Delhi, as an announcement to his fast.
