Questions on qualifications of Vivek Kundra and Aneesh Chopra
Well known tech journalist John C. Dvorak has opened a can of worms by raising questions on qualifications of Vivek Kundra (CIO of USA) and Aneesh Chopra (CTO of USA) in his article “Special Report: Is US Chief Information Office (CIO) Vevek Kundra a Phony?
I agree with John, there many other folks who are better qualified to be CIO or CTO of USA than Vivek Kundra and Aneesh Chopra.
Om Malik did a counter to John’s post “Dvorak raises doubts about US CIO Kundra : Whitehouse calls report “highly inaccurate: & “a lie” . Kundra speaks up.”
It is interesting to see how this story unfolds if mainstream media picks this story.
How to connect your computer / laptop to your tv?
Well, I bought a new HD tv and wanted to connect my laptop to my TV so that I can watch the pod-casts and indian TV programs and movies on big screen TV. There are different ways you can connect your computer to tv depending on availability of ports on your TV and computer.
S Video Cable : Most of the old tvs and computers also have S video port. New tvs and computers do not have this port. My samsung HD tv and Dell laptop do not have this port. You need to buy a s video cable to connect the computer to TV. You can buy this in Walmart or online for less than 10 bucks. There are two types of S video ports, 5 pin and 7 pin so make sure you are buying the right s video cable.
HDMI Cable : This is the best way to connect provided you have HDMI ports on your TV and computer. I believe all HD TVs have this port and some of the new computers have this port. I am lucky, the Dell laptop I bought an year ago has HDMI port. HDMI is the best cable to transfer HD signal. You can buy HDMI cable for around 10 bucks. I bought mine from monoprice.com for 10 bucks.
