Qutb Minar Becomes First Indian Monument To Get E-Ticket System

The Qutb Minar is second on the list of most visited monuments in the country, just after the Taj Mahal.

Intex Aqua 4.0

Intex, generally known for PC peripherals, has been in the mobile phone business for quite some time. Its lineup includes a plethora of mass market dual-SIM handsets. The latest entrant to this family is a smartphone — the Aqua 4.0. However, Intex has slotted it in the entry-level segment. Let's see how it measures up.

Design And Build Quality
The retail package has the phone, earphones, and a charger with a detachable cable. The device measures 4.5" (l) x 2.4" (w) x 0.5" (12 mm) (d), and tips the scales at 113 grammes. The handset has a decent design that won't draw any polarized reactions. The Aqua 4.0 feels good to hold, and its textured back panel provides a comfortable grip. More importantly, the phone doesn't make a creaking sound when pressed near the corners. All in all, the build quality is good.

Google Apps Users Can Now Get 24/7 Phone Support For Chrome

Google just announced that Google Apps for Business, Education and Government customers can now call and email the company with their questions about Chrome. Google, of course, has always been somewhat notorious for its lack of customer support options, but this is slowly changing. Last November, for example, the company announced that it would start offering 24/7 phone support for paying Apps for Business users. Starting today, Google Apps users can call and email Google for support with “Chrome installation, functionality, security, browser policy settings and Google Apps interoperability for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.”

The Politics Of Aakash

Datawind's proverbial tiger — better known as the Aakash tablet — seems to have increasingly taken on the qualities of an illusion. For those keeping a check, the release date was last stated to be October, without any further details being specified. By the likes of it, the HRD ministry wants to bring out the Aakash II on the same day as the original tab's launch a year ago. While those who paid in advance to own this piece of the sky are still waiting, politicians are busy taking digs at each other over the world's cheapest tablet.
