Will ISRO#39;s Bhuvan beat Google Earth
With the much talked about Bhuvan – Earth Observation visualization tool by Indian Space Research Organization I finally thought I would give a try. I would share with my readers my experience with the tool. My overall opinion is that Bhuvan is the best deep technology public software ever made by an Indian organization.
As with most of the things that belongs to the Govt. of India the website lacks a high degree of professionalism. There is no dedicated site as yet. I had to Google up and finally arrived at http://bhuvan2.nrsc.gov.in . I use Firefox 3.5.2 and after downloading direct X and the plugin that are required for using Bhuvan I registered myself. It was impressive that already 0.23 million users have registered. But non of the ASP links of online Bhuvan software would open on Firefox. It is, I believe, a Firefox issue as I could follow the links on IExplorer. The features as described on the homepage are quite inviting and promise things much better than wikimapia or google earth . So the question arises – Can it out perform these popular Earth Visualization tools?
...Google Docs Adds Translation, But It#39;s Not Without Flaws ...
Google has now integrated its translation technology into Google Docs, allowing users to convert their documents into any one of 42 languages with the click of a button. While the official Google blog highlighted a usage case of a child translating her drawing for her family, the enterprise blog post showcases a different usage case, one for enterprises that need to translate documents for the multilingual teams that operate in a global business landscape. There's just one problem with the tool: translations are pretty rough, and it's not suited to any application for which quality is critical. That makes it fine for casual use, but not for Google Apps enterprise and education customers.
Using the translate tool was pretty simple. Just open your document, go Tools > Translate document, and then choose your language. It's enabled now for all users, so you can try it for yourself too.
