In a official release by google it is confirmed that Google Apps like Gmail, Google talk, Google Docs and Google Calendar are now out of beta for enterprise and consumers version. (Google Release)
But what this Beta is all about ?
Actually this is a stage in the development of any software which goes to various stages before official release. Google was often mocked about the fact that even after so many days it keeps the product in beta stage. But for all those nostalgic people out there it keep the google beta app which can show that tag of beta even though its not beta so enable that feature in apps.
Some definitions of Beta Software :
What is beta software?
After an initial round of in-house testing, software publishers often release new programs to be tested by the public. These pre-release versions are called beta software, usually denoted by a "b" in the version number, e.g., Firefox 3.1b2. Since the publisher couldn't possibly test the software under all possible conditions, it is reasonable to expect that wider use of the software may uncover problems that were not discovered during in-house testing. The publisher expects to be notified when users find such problems so that the program can be fixed before its official release.
In general, you should expect to run into bugs whenever using any piece of beta software. These bugs may range in severity from minor features that don't work to problems that cause your computer to crash. You should decide whether the benefit of new features in a beta program outweighs the risk of program instability before choosing to use a piece of beta software.
What is Beta Software?
When computer software is being developed it progresses through developmental stages and is given code names to define which stage the software is in.
A beta version or beta release software usually is the first version of a computer program that implements all features in the initial software requirements specification and is considered an intermediate stage. It can be unstable but useful. Generally considered a preview stage where testers (sometimes, the general public) are encouraged to use the beta software and provide feedback for the developers.
The provided feedback from beta testers allow the developers to fix bugs (errors) in the software and sometimes suggested minor features are implemented into the final version of the software.

After every small or big incident government either wishfully or forced to constitute commissions of inquiry under various provisions and appoint ore or more members and provide them secretarial assistance to perform their functions. But hat we have seen all these years is that these commission delayed their report either because of bureaucratic delays like red tapism or may be some other pressures. We all the result of many such commission like commission on Anti Sikh Riots of 1984, commission on inquiry of S. C. Bose and presently the latest is Babri Masjid demolition inquiry commission known as Librehan Commission. We also see commission when new government comes into power and appoint a commission to look into the matter of previous government and one is aware of famous Jayalalitha and Karunanidhi controversy, Badal and Capt Amarinder singh and Mathur commission in Rajasthan and it seems its just a political gimmick or politics of levelling scores with outgoing government. ITs high time that commission inquiry act should be suitably amended and commission should complete their work in well defined time and all report should be made public and proper action should be taken on them and it should not be thrown into the trash can.
Firefox 3.5 is more than twice as fast as Firefox 3, and ten times as fast as Firefox 2. As a result, Web applications like email, photo sites and your favorite social networks will feel snappier and more responsive.
Faster JavaScript
The TraceMonkey JavaScript engine brings screaming fast performance to Firefox 3.5. With JavaScript that's more than twice as fast as Firefox 3 and 10x faster than Firefox 2, you'll be able to see the difference without breaking out your stopwatch.
Faster DOM
We've been working hard to make DOM access and manipulation faster in Firefox 3.5- over 2x faster than Firefox 3, in fact. We've removed overhead from our code, added new fast-access query and manipulation methods, and added support for new standards.
Open Video and Audio
Online media gets a major upgrade with Firefox 3.5. It includes the world's first implementation of HTML 5 audio and video support (Ogg Vorbis and Ogg Theora), allowing web developers to include rich media that's controlled using JavaScript, HTML and CSS instead of by proprietary technologies.
XHR
Firefox 3.5 supports cross-site XMLHttpRequests, which means your Web applications can now access material from other servers (as long as the servers are configured to allow it), thus paving the way for new mashups and other online collaborations.
Downloadable Fonts
Web developers and site designers can now get a more consistent look across all platforms by using downloadable TrueType and OpenType fonts in their designs instead of relying on the fonts installed on the user's local machine.
TraceMonkey
Knowing that users have the benefit of Firefox 3.5's dramatically improved TraceMonkey engine, Web developers can build JavaScript-based applications and sites that are faster and more responsive than ever (see Performance section above for more details)
Location-aware Browsing
In Firefox 3.5, users can share their location with requesting websites, allowing developers to customize their applications so they deliver more useful, more relevant output.
Privacy
More ways to maintain your privacy while you're online:
Browsing
Set your browsing mode to private and leave no trace of past Web history.
Clear History
Delete where you've been on the Web after the fact—simple and easy.
Pick Your Privacy
Remove the history of your visits to a particular site but retain the rest of your browsing history.
Easy Options
Firefox asks you straight up about how to store your history and gives you fine-tuned privacy control over the Awesome Bar.
Tabs
Tabs in Firefox keep getting better. Turn a tab into its own window instantly—tabs now tear off to stand alone when you want them to. Need a new tab? There's a convenient button for that, right in your tab bar.
Awesome Bar
We've raised the Awesome Bar even higher. Now get more privacy and customization when you choose to display or hide bookmark or history matches. New autocomplete keystrokes match keywords to your choice of bookmarks, history, titles and tags, or URL. And we've tightened up your keyword search experience all around.
Site Identity
Firefox's site identity button now displays the domain name for SSL, making it easier to notice when you're entering or exiting a secure connection and to determine who you're connected to.
More UE Goodness
Firefox has so many new features, some just defy categorization, like multi-touch gestures for OS X and Windows 7, which make overall navigation easier. And autocomplete is now part of how you bookmark, so tagging is easier and more intuitive. You can even edit tags for a bulk of bookmarks right in the library window. If things crash, Firefox automatically restores your experience. And now you can get recently closed windows back in a single click. Plus, we've given your browsing history an easier-to-use timeline so you can quickly find pages you've been to before.

A high-level committee, appointed in Feb 2008 to recommend measures to revamp the higher education system in the country under the chairmanship of former UGC chairman and eminent educationist Prof Yashpal submitted the final report 'Renovation and Rejuvenation of Higher Education' to HRD minister Mr Kapil Sibbal. Some of the suggestions made by committee are as follows :
1.Scrapping of regulatory bodies like UGC, AICTE and MCI
2.A national test on the line of Graduate Record Exam (GRE) should be introduced for higher education in the country. This would be open to all aspirants and would be held more than once a year.
3.Instead of all regulatory bodies a seven member Commission for Higher Education and Research (CHER) under an Act of Parliament should be set up to govern the higher education in the country. The proposed CHER will have a Chairperson and members will be selected by a committee headed by the PM, Leader of Opposition and the Chief Justice of India.
4.The committee expressed grief over the growth of deemed universities and suggested a complete ban on further grant of such status. Three years time period would be given to existing ones to develop as a full-fledged university and fulfill the prescribed norms of accreditation.
5.The committee said teachers should have the freedom to design courses and students should be able to study subjects outside their courses hence advocated multidisciplinary approach.
6.IIT and IIM’s should be given University status.
Western Railways recently started intensive drive for creating awareness against trespassing it urges the public to value their lives and not to put it on stake by crossing the tracks unlawfully. It also urges them to use foot over bridges and subways. Loss of precious human lives on tracks due to trespassing has always been a major concern for the Western Railway. It is also worth mentioning that trespassing is not only dangerous and fatal but also illegal and a punishable offence.According to the Indian Railways Act, 1989, if any person enters upon or into any part of a railway without lawful authority, or having lawfully entered upon or into such part misuses such property or refuses to leave, he shall be punishable with imprisonment for a term which may extend upto six months, or with fine which may extend upto Rs 1,000, or with both.Now Railway police come heavily on the trespassers and two persons were sent to jail for seven days by the railway court on Saturday for trespassing at Vasai road under section 147 of Indian Railway Act while two persons were fined Rs. 500/- .Two persons were fined Rs.500/- each along with the punishment till the court was resolved for trespassing at Bhayander on Friday while on Saturday two persons were again fined Rs.500/-, one person fined for Rs.200/- and another Rs 100/- for trespassing.
It’s on the card, sooner or later BJP has to make some face saving exercise after a defeat in recently held general elections. Even after winning and forming a government in Uttarakhand two years ago the BJP fails to win even a single seat from the five seats up for grab in the Lok Sabha Elections. Bhagat Singh Koshiyari adopt the pressure tactics by resigning from Rajya Sabha( later he withdraws it too) but the outgoing Chief Minister must be satisfied with the fact that the new CM Ramesh Pokhriyal is said to be close to Khanduri and is finance minister in his government. Coming from Garhwal region Mr Pokhriyal is a veteran in the politics and except on one occasion get elected in all elections since 1990. He also served as minister in three ministries of UP government. A journalist and poet ME Pokhriyal is also said to be close to RSS and also known for his clean image. Its only irony that the name of B C Khanduri was proposed by B S Koshiyari and seconded by Ramesh Pokhriyal and today he is dethroned by the same duo. Well it’s all about ‘KISSA KURSI KA’
