Astronomers have discovered the “strongest ever” gamma ray explosion, exceeding the power of 9000 exploding stars in the deep space constellation Carina. The blast was discovered by the Fermi Gamma ray space telescope, a collaboration among the NASA,, the U.S Department of Energy and other international partners and its other instrument Gamma ray burst monitor together recorded the event.

Together, the instruments have provided a view of the blast’s energies ranging from 3000 to more than five billion times that of visible light. Subsequently, a team lead by the Max Plank Institute of Extra Terrestrial Physics in Germany reported that the blast took 12.2 billion light years away using the European Southern Observatory telescope in LaSilla, Chile.

“Already this was an exciting event and with the team’s distance it went from exciting to extraordinary”, the media quoted Julie McEnery, Fermi Deputy Project Scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, in Greenbelt, Maryland.

The sub-committee of the Sri Lankan Tamils welfare and Rights form made an resolution to urge the center to move the United Nations into the Sri Lankan issue to cause immediate ceasefire of the war between the LTTE and the Sri Lankan army.

Actor Kamal Hassan has requested the youth of this country to join the entertainment industry after completing their education as the industry needed more of them than before.

Speaking at the inaugural function of Milan 09,an annual national level inter college cultural program organized at SRM university, Chennai on Friday the actor said that the film industry as for now is booming and has a lot of job opportunities than before. He also said with the country being packed with engineers and doctors only the entertainment industry needed more people than before.

Mr.Kamal Hassan made it clear that the students have to join the industry only after completing the courses. He also made it clear that there are many technical areas even in the film industry where the students can opt for. He also added a point that he was a high school dropout and even after becoming an actor his father urged him to complete his studies and pursue and PhD but the time has never come.

From the time of the actors arrival on the stage the students went frenzy and tried to take photos of every move the actor made.

Computer software, or just software is a general term used to describe a collection of computer programs, procedures and documentation that perform some tasks on a computer system. The term includes application software such as word processors which perform productive tasks for users, system software such as operating systems, which interface with hardware to provide the necessary services for application software, and middleware which controls and co-ordinates distributed systems.

“Software” is sometimes used in a broader context to mean anything which is not hardware but which is used with hardware, such as film, tapes and records.
Types

Practical computer systems divide software systems into three major classes: system software, programming software and application software, although the distinction is arbitrary, and often blurred.

* System software helps run the computer hardware and computer system. It includes operating systems, device drivers, diagnostic tools, servers, windowing systems, utilities and more. The purpose of systems software is to insulate the applications programmer as much as possible from the details of the particular computer complex being used, especially memory and other hardware features, and such as accessory devices as communications, printers, readers, displays, keyboards, etc.
* Programming software usually provides tools to assist a programmer in writing computer programs, and software using different programming languages in a more convenient way. The tools include text editors, compilers, interpreters, linkers, debuggers, and so on. An Integrated development environment (IDE) merges those tools into a software bundle, and a programmer may not need to type multiple commands for compiling, interpreting, debugging, tracing, and etc., because the IDE usually has an advanced graphical user interface, or GUI.
* Application software allows end users to accomplish one or more specific (non-computer related) tasks. Typical applications include industrial automation, business software, educational software, medical software, databases, and computer games. Businesses are probably the biggest users of application software, but almost every field of human activity now uses some form of application software.
