Epic browser - LASA



BANGALORE, INDIA (GaeaTimes.com)- The internet browser war is only hotting up with time. After the new versions of browsers like Opera, Firefox and Chrome a browser with Indian origin has hit the bandwagon. The Epic browser has been made to cater to the need of the Indian web users. The developers of the browsers are of the opinion that it will appeal to the users who want a hassle free web experience for their work. The browser uses the Mozilla engine and it is the first web browser with an integrated antivirus. The browser also comes with a whopping 1500 Indian themes. The users of the browser can use several Indian languages to type.





The makers of the Epic Browser claim that it has faster download speed and browsing too. Since it has an integrated antivirus the browser warns a user when he tries to open a site that can contain malicious codes. This may save his PC from getting infected. It also offers anti phishing features. Like many of the mainstream browsers it also has a private mode which does not store the browsing session or private data of the user. It is the first browser to kill harmful flash cookies that intrudes into a users privacy.

The Epic Browser has been built by Bangalore- based company named Hidden Reflex. The company was set up by the year 2008. The company thinks that owing to its customization features and ease of access it will be lapped up both by newbie and veteran users. The browser has been released in the web.

GPS v/s Galileo

"navigatio eccere necessis" - that's what the ancient Romans said when hitting the Mediterranean sea to conquer foreign countries.

Today's navigational systems work much more precisely than their (Romans) compasses and coastal lighting systems.

Just for comparison: GPS has a position accuracy of 10m and a height accuracy of 35m.
Galileo has a position accuracy of 4m and a height accuracy of 8m.

These values are valid for any public navigational system.

The NASA did not like the European precision (giving the required accuracy to drop weapons at full impact power hitting bull's eye), but now a marriage is due.

NASA and European space technologies will join for better navigation of vehicles.

Galileo offers accuracy to a DIN-A4 size paper sheet for military and puplic services, such as land measuring (of course for extra payment)
