Microsoft confirms UEFI fears, locks down ARM devices By Aaron Williamson | January 12, 2012 At the beginning of December, we warned the Copyright Office that operating system vendors would use UEFI secure boot anticompetitively, by colluding with hardware partners to exclude alternative operating systems. As Glyn Moody points out, Microsoft has wasted no time in revising its Windows Hardware Certification Requirements to effectively ban most alternative operating systems on ARM-based devices that ship with Windows 8.

UGC-NET: Necessary Changes and Amendments
by Madhurjyamoy Das 13 Jan '12

13 Jan '12

Dear Sir/Madam, Warm welcome to the amendments UGC has made for NET Examination 2012 and many thanks to Mr. Ved Prakash and team. As we, who are planning to appear for the National Eligibility Test (NET), June 2012 in LIS, would be able to evaluate the performance immediately after appearing for the much-simplified test. Another good reason to be happy is that the UGC has decided that all the question papers for the test will be objective type. Till now, two papers were objective and the third one subjective. This has led not only delaying in declaration of the results, but also, making the system less transparent and non-uniform. It is indeed a very good step that has been adopted finally by UGC. Some long pending issues that have been tried to be met by the UGC regarding paper III inter alia are (a) Transparency, (b) Reducing the inter and intra examiner variability in marking of paper III, (c) Delay in declaration of NET results and finally there are reasons really to be happy as the recommendations of the NET moderation committee for changing paper III from descriptive to objective type are in place on the pattern of CSIR - NET examination. With this amendment, it tends to be a more regular, homogeneous platform for the NET aspirants. The goal of the MCQ type paper is to ensure a standard of uniformity in the evaluation process. The objective type MCQ pattern has always been tested to be successful globally in delivering the quality and thus producing better results be it IIM CAT exams or GATE Exams. I believe questions can be set quite intuitively to test a student’s degree of knowledge as well as skills of application to the very purpose of the test irrespective of the discipline be it science, management, humanities or arts and making the game fairer and level playing.
