cool enough to be studs. Read on about them at their
TeamStudSat website.
Now that their pic-satellite is in orbit, these students have plans to make two

The world is going ga-ga over India's announcement that a Rs. 1500 tablet
PC is on the way. Here are a couple of reports on it: $35
computer taps India's huge low-income market and India's
$35 PC is the Future of Computing. We have to wait for actual production to
begin to see the feasibility, but the achievement so far, is itself, quite
admirable. Unfortunately this is a currently unreasonable dream
since knowledgeable friends have pointed out that the price is not feasible
right now.
Here's something to cheer about though. Two young engineers in Bangalore have
come up with an idea,
Interview
Street, that one of the most respected seed fund company, Y Combinator has
chosen for funding. The Economic Times carried this
story.
Hope to see this innovative idea blossom and make it big in the international
arena.
