NETBOOK
GOOGLE CHROMEBOOK

Amidst the much created hype by its
Nexus , Google has given a new definition
to its horizon by launching - The Google
Chromebook.
With looks unlike any other Netbook,
Google Chrome powered Chromebook takes
hardly 10 seconds to boot up. This Netbook
differs from the Laptops by some major
differences like Cloud Storage and Running
Functionality.
Chromebook’s high end version THE
CHROMEBOOK PIXEL has been a slight Dud,
because of its price feature, but the laptop
has raised many eyebrows with its Superior
Quality of User Interface. In February 2013,
Google introduced and shipped the 32
GB Chromebook Pixel, whose $1299 price
was more than six times that of the lowest
cost Chromebook, the Acer C7. The Pixel
drew praise for its exterior design and high
resolution screen, said to have the highest
pixels-per-inch of any laptop.
Chromebooks are simple to use and
they update themselves. They boot-up in
seconds, never slow down and require al-
most zero setup or maintenance. Viruses,
malware and other nasties are taken care
of. No extra software (or worrying) re-
quired.
No annoying updates & nothing complicated
to learn. Boots in seconds. Comes with your
favorite Google apps. This Chromebook makes
a great additional computer for getting things
done, for sharing around the home, for every-
one.

3. BIOGRAPHY3
Born on 8 June 1995 in southwest London Eng-
land Sir Timothy John Tim Berners-Lee often abbreviat-
ed as “TimBL” is a legendary British computer scientist.
He is often regarded as the father or creator of WORLD
WIDE WEB (www). He is the son of Conway Berners
Lee and Mary Lee Woods who worked on the first
commercially build computer the Ferranti Mark 1.
He completed his primary education from Sheen
Mount Primary School and then went on to attend
south west London's independent Emanuel
School from 1969 to 1973. Thereafter, he
studied at Queen's College, Oxford, from
1973 to 1976, where he received a first-
class degree in physics.
A graduate of Oxford University, Tim
teaches at Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a
3Com Founders Professor of Engineering and in a joint
appointment in the Department of Electrical Engineer-
ing and Computer Science at CSAIL. He is a professor in
the Electronics and Computer Science Department at
the University of Southampton, UK, Director of the
World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), and author of
weaving the Web and many more publications.
Subsequent to graduation, he was employed as
an engineer at the telecommunications company Ples-
sey in Poole. Berners-Lee worked as an individual con-
tractor at CERN from June to December 1980.While
there, he anticipated a project-work conceptualized on
the notion of hypertext, to facilitate sharing and up-
dating information among researchers. For illustration,
he built an archetype system named ENQUIRE. After
leaving CERN in late 1980, he went to work at John
Poole's Image Computer Systems, Ltd.
Tim documented what was to become the World
Wide Web with the submission of a proposal specify-
ing a set of technologies that would make the Internet
truly accessible and useful to people. Despite initial
setbacks and with perseverance, by October of 1990,
he had particularized the three fundamental technolo-
gies that remain the foundation of today’s Web:
HTML, URL, and HTTP.
In 1994, Berners-Lee founded the W3C (World
Wide Web Consortium) at MIT. It consisted
of various companies that were willing to
create standards and recommendations to
enhance the eminence of the Web. In De-
cember 2004, he accepted a chair in Com-
puter Science at the School of Electronics
and Computer Science, University of South-
ampton, England, to work on the Semantic Web. Pres-
ently Berners-Lee is President of the Open Data Insti-
tute.
Lee is recognized as the owner of plethora of
achievement including one of the only six members of
World Wide Web hall of fame. He also won the Kilby
Foundation’s “young innovator of the year” award
followed by the software system award from the Asso-
ciation for Computing Machinery (ACM). In 1998 he
was awarded with an honorary doctorate from the
University of Essex. In 1999, Time Magazine named
Berners-Lee one of the 100 Most Important People of
the 20th century and many more triumphs followed
by tons and tons of other achievements.
His attainments give the upcoming generation
an inspiration to be successful, hardworking and an
innovator like him.

4. TOMB RAIDER
GAME REVIEW4
Lara Croft is one of the few strong female leads in a
patriarchal industry that generally doesn’t take too
well to the concept of making a “kitchen-residing
sammich maker” the protagonaist.
This time it is a total reboot and has been penned
by Rhianna Pratchett, who also happens to have
worked on games such as Mirror’s Edge, Prince of
Persia (2008 reboot), the overload series, and heav-
enly sword—all of which are known for their excellent
writing. With Tomb Raider, Rhianna pretty much
proves she’s her father’s daughter by weaving an en-
gaging mythos enriched with the right blend of fanta-
sy, intrigue, horror, and reality. Most Importantly it
serves as a great canvas to paint Lara in a whole new
light.
We’re introduced to a rather green Croft setting
sail in pursuit of her maiden adventure—the quest to
find the lost city of Yamatai in the dangerous waters
of the Dragon Triangle off the coast Japan. Needles
to say, poop hits the ceiling and she gets shipwrecked
On the Island of Yamatai, which is infested with mur-
derous savages and the remnants of an ancient army
that protect the island’s secrets and prevents anyone
from leaving it. The rest of the game is about Lara’s
Quest to escape the island, and how this baptism by
fire shapes her into the gutsy, confident woman por-
trayed in the past games.
The most likeable thing about the New Tomb
Raider is how brutal it is. While the earlier games
shied away from showing blood, the reboot doesn’t
fall short when it comes to portraying the grittiness,
violence and aggressing required by the story, Lara
gets beaten, bruised and impaled on multiple occa-
sions. The idea is to show the descent of a rich aristo-
cratic kid who is shielded from the dark side of the
humanity into a hardened survivor and a cold-
blooded killer. When a franchise as large as this risks,
cutting down its reach by embracing the Mature
rating, it’s apparent the developers hold creativity in
higher regard than anything else. These maps encour-
age players to scavenge through and return.

PRICE Rs 999(PC); Rs 2499 (PS3)
PUBLISHER Square Enix
DEVELOPER Crystal Dynamics
PLATFORMS PC, PS3, XBOX 360
FOR
Excellent Graphics; TressFX hair simulation;
deep, fluid combat; well-paced story.
AGAINST
Puzzles are a let-down; secondary charac-
ters are shallow
SMOOTH GAMEPLAY
Lara’s journey from a sheltered rich girl to a tough-as-nails
Tomb Raider has been mimicked in the gameplay as well. Un-
covering mysteries on the Island, hunting animals for the food
with her bow and arrow, and killing hostile inhabitants add to
her XP, which in turn provides skill points and salvage parts re-
quired to learn new tricks and craft/upgrade items.
A large variety of weapons are available—ranging from
pistols and submachine guns to powerful rifles and shotguns—
and they are all fun to wield. The game is exclusively reserved
for PC, PS3, and XBOX 360.
There is quite a lot of depth in the gameplay, despite the
incorporation of the similar bombastic setpieces every new
game must have. Tomb Raider, however, pulls this off with
more finesse and elegance than most. What we have is a Con-
temporary Raider that strikes a good balance between fan ser-
vice and ticking all the boxes required by a modern Game.
