If Apple is successful with its patent efforts, and other PC and smartphone companies develop their own gesture-recognition technology in response, we could see a world where pinching on a MacBook might zoom, but the same gesture might close a window on a ThinkPad, or open a file on a mobile phone. Would that be a step backward for the industry?

SVYM (Swami Vivekananda Youth Mission)’s education intervention plan - “Shikshanavahini” aims to increase the school enrollment and … all » retention by actively partnering with Government and empowering and enabling rural and tribal parent communities.
In the words of the founder of SVYM, Dr. R. Subramanyam:
“Any schooling system is a combination of several factors: 1. Child and the school delivery system 2. Teacher 3. Education 4. Facilitating role of an NGO. We believe each of this is like a leg of a stool. A stool can stand on 3 legs… the fourth one gives more stability…
We as an NGO would like to tell the other 3 sectors that they are very important to the system… remind them of their roles… the education should be child centric, make teacher more responsible and responsive to the child and learning process… and remind the Govt of its obligation to provide education. We are that invisible leg of the stool… and over time we will fade away, leaving behind the stool with 3 legs. This is the only sustainable way to make sure every child in the state is actually in school and gets quality education.”
