₹ 9,999

It is the cheapest trick in the book, at least when it comes to smartphones. After Freedom 251 and Docoss X1, a company called Namotel has come up with the ‘world’s cheapest smartphone’ priced at Rs 99.

We should point out that Namotel as a brand or name was something no one has heard of before, but given the Ringing Bells and Docoss story, we are not surprised that another ‘newcomer’ has launched a cheap smartphone and that too with a name that rings a bell.

Company promoter Madhava Reddy claims he is marketing the world’s cheapest smartphone, the Namotel Acche Din, for just Rs 99. If you said Reddy who, you’re not the first.

According to this story on PhoneRadar, Reddy appears to have worked as a relationship manager in the Axis Bank’s Home Loans department before. What’s he doing selling smartphones, and how did he make the jump from home loans to promoter of a company? Keeping guessing, because nobody has a clue.

According to the company, Namotel Acche Din has a 4-inch display, runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop, and is powered by 1.3GHz quad-core processor along with 1 GB RAM and 4GB storage space. The smartphone will be available for booking between May 17 to 25, 2016.

According to PhoneRadar, which managed to open the website, that ‘nominal’ delivery fee is Rs 199, which means that it costs more than the phone and frankly makes no sense. And yes like with Freedom 251, Namotel and its promoter insist their product is ‘Made in India’. Better still, it will be sold only to those who are holding a valid Aadhaar card.Namotel.com shows the price has been slashed from Rs 2,999 to Rs 99 and that the smartphone is available on cash-on-delivery basis. It also adds that nominal delivery charges will be levied. And we know for a fact that Rs 2,999 is the price a phone with these specs should have.

The company has also added a note on its site that says, “Pictures shown on website is for illustration purposes only.”

Of course, its anybody’s guess if the phone is an illustration or an illusion, but given that no one has heard of this Namotel, illusion would be our best bet.

As far as Rs 99 pricing goes, there is no logic or economic theory to support it, and we have discussed in the past how its not possible for any company to sell smartphones at such prices, given that it won’t even cover the cost of manufacturing the phone.

WHY IS COFFEE CALLED JAVA? ~ mkniit

Coffee has many names. Some, such as “espresso,” and “drip” refer to how coffee is made. Others, such as “mocha” and “cappuccino,” refer to a specific beverage made with coffee. Still others refer to coffee’s origins and history. “Java” falls into this third category.

“Java” Comes from the Island of Java

During the 1600s, the Dutch introduced coffee to Southeast Asia. They brought coffee trees to places like Bali and Sumatra, where it’s still grown today. Another island they began planting coffee on was Java, and it’s from this island that the name “java” arose.

It’s not known specifically known how the term was first used. The Dutch were likely the first to use the name, and they may have used it to refer to single-origin coffee from Java. As the coffee trade grew, though, the term was adopted by more and more people throughout the world, and any specificity was lost. Today, “java” has become a generic term for coffee and no longer refers only to coffee from the Island of Java.

Coffee is Still Grown on Java

Coffee continues to be grown on Java today, and much of the island’s arabica production comes from estates that were originally built by the Dutch.

In the 1880s, coffee leaf rust decimated many of the trees on the island, and producers responded by substituting arabica lots with liberica and then robusta ones. Liberica and robusta coffees are both more resistant to leaf rust, but their traits aren’t nearly as desirable as arabica’s. Thus, the coffees produced by these trees are usually used in lower-quality, commercial-grade coffees, not in specialty-grade coffees.

Five plantations, however, still grow coffea arabica and have decent processing facilities. These plantations produce good coffee that meets the standards of specialty-grade coffee.

The higher-quality coffees that come from these plantations are often used in two distinctive ways:

They’re blended with coffees from Mocha, Yemen to create Mocha-Java blends.
Some plantations age their coffees for up to three years, which is known as “monsooning” it. This creates a less acidic and mellow coffee. It mimics the flavor profile of coffees that Europeans would have enjoyed in the 1600 and 1700s, when transporting coffee by ship from Java to Europe could take years.

“Java” Has a Legacy in Computer Programming

Java has never been a popular name for coffee, although it’s consistently been used and most coffee drinkers are familiar with the term. The name has, however, left an interesting legacy in the computer programming world:

In 1995, a programming language called Java was released and featured a steaming cup of coffee as its icon.
Javascript was also released in 1995, and it continues to be used some today.

Java may not be the most common name for coffee, but it stands alone as the only name that has inspired a computer programming language.

The enterprise platform again tops both the Tiobe and PyPL indexes thanks to changes that close the gap with functional programming languages

mkniit |

Java's popularity keeps climbing and climbing.

Once again, Java leads both the Tiobe and PyPL indexes. But this month, Java climbed above a 20 percent rating in the Tiobe index, which gauges popularity based on a formula that assesses searches on languages in multiple search engines.

Java's rating was 20.403 percent, the first time it had reached a level exceeding 20 percent since July 2009. Java's Tiobe rating was 19.543 percent in October, and it has increased more than 6 percentage points in the past year. In the PyPL index, which assesses searches on language tutorials in Google, Java claimed a 24.4 percent share.

Tiobe said the recent JavaOne conference in San Francisco helped Java. Tiobe Managing Director Paul Jansen, who compiles the index, also sees Java's evolution as helping. "The Java language is changing nowadays, after having been at the same level for many years," Jansen said in an email. "It's closing the gap with functional programming languages -- e.g. with Java Streams -- thus making life much easier."

Java 8, unveiled last year, introduced a functional style to Java with lambda support. Tiobe also said that Java's use in Android mobile application developmenthas boosted its popularity.

Again coming in second in Tiobe's index was the C language, with a 17.145 percent rating. "C is still the core language in all small devices," said Jansen. "Since the number of devices that is containing software is growing exponentially (even light bulbs have IP addresses nowadays), C remains very popular." Connected to C's fortunes was Assembly, which came in 11th place with a 1.883 percent rating, after ranking 29th a year ago. "The jump for Assembly is related to the popularity of C. Countries like China are developing a lot of small devices nowadays with software in it. That is either written in C or Assembly," Jansen said.

JavaScript was ranked seventh in Tiobe's index, with a 2.473 percent rating. "JavaScript is indeed a language that's used by many people, but never as a main language. It's the Web client-side language. So it's most of the times considered an add-on. I think JavaScript is a bit overrated in other indexes," said Jansen. PyPL also has JavaScript ranked seventh, but with a 7.1 percent share.

Objective-C, Apple's legacy language for iOS and Mac OS development, againranked 14th with a 1.426 percent rating, slightly better than last month's 1.419 percent rating, but the language has lost 7.64 percentage points in a year. Its successor language, Swift, was ranked 15th, with a 1.236 percent share. Objective-C ranked 8th in the PyPL index with a 5.2 percent share, followed by Swift, with a 2.9 percent share.

Elsewhere in the Tiobe index, C++ finished third (6.198 percent rating) followed by C# (4.318 percent) and Python (3.771 percent). In the PyPL index, Python ranked second (11.3 percent share), following by PHP (10.9 percent), C# (9.1 percent), and C++ (7.7 percent).

Language trends and salaries: Java way ahead ~ mkniit.blogspot.com

Programmers are amongst the highest paid and most sought-after employees. However, this can all change depending on the specific programming languages one is proficient in. Java is up there as one of the most in-demand and top-paying.

Vacancies for programmers are always emphasising the need to know a specific programming language. So much so, that the question of which language skills pay best has already been explored on JAXenter.

Research conducted by Computer Science Zone highlights where the demand lies and where the job openings are, with the help of career research platform Gooroo and data collected from WANTED Analytics.

In a helpful infographic, we’re shown how many vacancies there are for some of the most popular programming languages – including Java, which has an average annual income of approximately $84,000 USD per annum. The big bucks lie in Scala development, which is the only language listed to go over the $100k mark.

According to WANTED Analytics and considering the vacancies, the top 5 that make up the most popular and sought-after languages are SQL, Java, JavaScript, C# and Python. As the table below shows however, the popularity of a language doesn’t necessarily equal to earning more in the salary stakes (e.g. SQL).

In addition, statistics like the above are heavily dependent on the industry to gauge which languages have a certain importance. Larger companies obviously prefer Java and .NET, while startups build using JavaScript, Ruby and PHP. In the areas of science and research, Python has a special significance.

An interesting point in this context is the recently published ranking from GitHub analysing their most popular languages (in public and private repositories without forks). All Gooroo and WANTED Analytics data identifying the top languages can be correlated to the GitHub results, with the exception of SQL.

Java’s ranking grew leaps and bounds throughout 2008-2015 and rose from 7th to 2nd place, the cause of which was due to the increased popularity of Android, according to GitHub. The extra interest could also be influenced by the ongoing copyright saga that Oracle and Google are embroiled in. The backing of Oracle by the US Government has definitely been a talking point.

Java also shines in other rankings: On the TIOBE Index it has consistently remained in the top 5, recently reclaiming the top spot. For the current RedMonk rankings it holds a respectable second place. You can hardly deny that Java is on the rise, despite latest news indicating Oracle’s “planned obsolescence” for it.
