AACS, a DRM scheme used to encrypt data on HD-DVD and Blu-Ray disks, would appear to be cracked wide open by that short string of hexadecimal codes, as previously, only disk-specific Volume Keys were compromised. The new hack is the work of Arnezami, a hacker posting at the doom9 forums, fast becoming the front line in the war on DRM.

i dont want make any coment on this article of hindustan times , just read this
Link to the article
He knows the power of technology so it is only fair that President APJ Abdul Kalam finds support among communities that technology has brought together.
The Internet, these days, is abuzz with pro-Kalam activity. The Pune Nagrik Manch (PNM), a citizen’s initiative, has posted an online petition http://www.PetitionOnline.com/apj to get people to vote in favour of a second term for Kalam as President. It has managed to garner over 86,000 signatures so far. It is reaching out to people through the popular networking site, Orkut, and through e-groups on Yahoo.
“I think this is a mass movement by the citizens for the citizens of India,” Sujeet Shilamkar, president of PNM and IT professional, wrote in an email to HT. According to Shilamkar, Kalam is a “ray of hope”. “In recent years, none of those who held this post have been able to devise constructive programmes of national and people welfare interests…He is the only man who deserves to the first citizen of our country,” Shilamkar, 25, stated.
Online petitions and networking sites have been mobilising public opinion on various issues from the Jessica Lall case to reservations in educational institutions. With Kalam’s tenure expiring in July 2007, the online petition aims to mobilise public support for an extension of his term. The idea is to the scientists and other fans of the President and put pressure on political parties to ensure Kalam continues as President.
“We have received a tremendous response from all over the world,” Shilamkar wrote. “We have forwarded the letters and mails to all Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha members.”
The PNM also organised a rally in Pune on January 12 to press their demand. The PNM is now planning to visit educational institutions for a signature campaign and start a Short Messaging Service (SMS) campaign.
The community Vote for President Kalam, which was created on Orkut in November 2006, has 118 members. It links visitors and members to www.bhaskarastro.org /voteforpresident, an online vote forum launched by Bhaskaracharya Astronomy Research Centre, an Ahmednagar-based organisation that works to improve educational standards of students.
A message posted by Abhi Patil said, “After a long time India realised that President is not a rubber stamp.”
Chennai-based Sriram Sundar owns the 30-member community Kalam…Continue as president while New Delhi’s Tarun Saini has created the community APJ Abdul Kalam as president, which has 28 members.
“The campaign, ‘Justice For Jessica’ proved a great success. It showed how public opinion forced the Executives, Legislature & Judiciary to give Jessica justice,” Saini, a postgraduate in political science and international relations from Delhi University, wrote on the community’s homepage. “So why not try and check out the popularity of our beloved President?”

If you want to have your presence in India , you cant just ignore India's security concerns . Google might have understood this and now they have finally agreed to talk with indian officials . Google Earth was criticized a lot for showing strategic indian locations which are considered as soft targets for terrorist attacks which includes parliament .
The Indian government has often expressed concern that the information provided on Google Earth could be misused by terrorists and India’s enemies. The easy availability online of detailed maps of countries from services such as Google Earth can be misused by terrorists, India's President, A.P.J. Abdul Kalam said as early as 2005.
Google's orkut was also criticized for ignoring public outcry over hate-india communities . One of them was "i hate india" started by a group of pakistanis which was shut for few days but now it is online again . Orkut was almost on the verge of getting banned .

PHP: PHP Hypertext Protocol:
PHP has become a somewhat mature dynamic server side programming language over the past few years. As of writing this article PHP 5.x is the current release and millions of web pages are using PHP (we are at Tizag). PHP is a free technology you can download for many different Operating Systems.
Compared to ASP, PHP is very easy to pick up and learn a little at a time. PHP is an ideal language for the weekend or hobbyist programmer. Seems like all green pastures in the land of PHP.
However, businesses do not readily embrace PHP for many reasons. A great deal of companies are running operating systems such as Windows Server 2003 or one of the Window NTs, which have been optimized to run Microsoft's proprietary language ASP.
ASP: Active Service Pages
ASP is a technology that is included with Internet Information Services (IIS) which is included in Windows 2003, NTs and XP Professional. If you own XP Home Edition then you will need to pay a couple hundred dollars to upgrade to XP Professional before you can begin your ASP programming career.
As far as programming languages go, ASP is definitely not as straightforward as PHP. The language has a plethora of confusing programming patterns that will take a while to learn. Besides that difficulty, there is also much less free information on the internet, preventing you weekend programmers from getting a quality education for no money down.
On the other hand, ASP and ASP.NET are widely used in the business world. If you are looking to get a high paying job, ASP or ASP.NET would be a darn good start to improving your desirability to employers.
This isn't to say that you couldn't get a job with PHP, because you can, but rather you would just have an easier time if you took the ASP path. A search on Monster.com of ASP vs PHP near a major city resulted with 47 jobs for PHP and 321 jobs for ASP.
COMPARISON OF FEATURES
Cost
To run ASP programs one needs IIS installed on a Windows platform server, which is not free. PHP programs run on Linux, which is free. Even the connectivity of the database is expensive in the case of ASP as MS-SQL is a product of Microsoft that needs to be purchased. PHP generally uses MySQL, which is freely available
Speed
If we compare the speed of ASP and PHP then PHP has an upper hand. PHP code runs faster than ASP. ASP is built on COM based architecture, which is an overhead for the server whereas PHP code runs in its own memory space.
Platform Compatibility
PHP programs can run on various platforms like Linux, Unix, Windows and Solaris whereas ASP is mainly associated with Windows platforms. However, ASP can run on a Linux platform with ASP-Apache installed on the server.
Additional Costs
Many of the tools used in PHP are free of cost and since PHP is open source a lot of code can be found in open source forums. PHP has inbuilt features like ftp, email from a web page or even encryption mechanisms but in ASP such features are not built in and some additional components are required. Therefore an additional cost is incurred for such components
Base Language
PHP is based on C++ language and the syntax used in PHP is quite similar to C/C++. C/C++ is still considered the best programming language by many programmers and people who love this language would surely feel more comfortable with the syntax of PHP. ASP on the other hand has a more Visual Basic kind of syntax that again is closely related to only Microsoft products. So, it depends on a person-to-person which language he or she is comfortable
CONCLUSION
So , it depends on the person , which language is to follow. If we see the easiness , php is much better to follow . Cost , speed , online support and many other things supports php . There are very few things which php can do but asp cant. But still asp gets upper hand when it comes to making a portal site website. For young programmers , it is advisable to choose asp as it will benefit them career wise.
