With the Monsoon Session starting yesterday, heads are again turned to the Indian Parliament where our elected leaders will hold debates on various topics and issues.

So if you are one of those who are inquisitive about knowing details about the elected members of Parliament then here is an application that can be of your interest.

Lok Sabha, an App made by KCP Technologies for Android phones, has a list of present and past Lok Sabhas &#151 starting with the 1st Lok Sabha of 1951 to the current 16th that was elected in 2009.

It provides brief information about the MPs such as name, constituency, state and category.

One can also search about a particular MP, irrespective of the year in which he was elected.

The free application has four sections &#151 Current, History, Search and About.

In the current section you can get information about MPs of the present Lok Sabh &#151 in this case the 16th . It shows names of 543 members, which is the total strength of the lower house at present. When tapped on a name it shows information about the person as mentioned above.

You can also search the same info about past MPs in the last sixty years from 1951-2011.

Suppose you just know the name of an MP, past or present, but do now know in which year he/she was elected, then do not worry. In the search section, you can just put his name and voila you will have his/her info.

In the Lok Sabha app, you can also search MPs from a constituency. For example, you want to know about all the MPs selected from Patna constituency, then you just have to enter Patna in the search section, and upon tapping the search button, it will show you all the MPs selected from the Patna constituency till now and their information.

Similarly, you can know about MPs by just their name, constituency, state, party, category (General, OBC etc) or by the year when they were elected.

The vast information that the app sought to provide the users is really without any doubt comes handy and is thus highly recommended for journalists, quiz enthusiasts and the political observers.

A government-funded mobile friendly website has been launched in India to create consumer awareness about various brands of medicines, their manufacturers, composition and comparative prices in the market. The website also offers information about health insurance and immunisation.

The site, called medGuideIndia, not just tells consumers about the nature and composition of the medicine but also suggests cheaper alternatives with same composition but a different brand. Users can also know about the brand medicines, how to import drugs for personal use, and other useful information like precautions, symptoms and side effects of a medicine.

The site also talks about the immunisation, reaction to drugs, and also offers news about vaccines, its availability in the market and benefits. Health insurance segment covers the types of insurance, terms and how to buy the best health insurance plans.

The mobile website has been developed by Delhi-based Vinod Kumar Memorial Charitable Trust with funds of Rs 20 lakh by the Consumer Affairs Ministry.

“The mobile website – www.medguideindia.com – is dedicated to provide information on generic medicines and comparative prices,” Consumer Affairs Secretary Rajeev Aggarwal said after the launch.

The site offers complete information and is a must read for people looking for information on medicines, vaccination and health insurance.

Do you find some mobile games too easy and boring as you can beat your opponents fast; or do you find the game too difficult to finish &#151 in either case the you are likely to ditch the game and lesser is the chance that you will revert to it.

But, now mobile gaming companies have found a way-out to kill these ‘too easy’ or ‘too difficult’ aspects of the games. And, this will be possible thanks to predictive analytics.

Through predictive analytics, the mobile game publishers can analyse the activity of gamers, if during the game users go online, and create a profile for them.

It will not only help these companies to generate more revenue through targeted advertising but they can also help increase the fun quotient of the games.

For example, through these analysis, game publishers can know when you died during the game. So, they can send you the right or an upgraded weapon next time you play the game. It will definitely help you win the game and on the other hand the companies can generate revenue by selling upgraded games/weapons.

Also, if the publishers of a particular game found that the tools are too powerful and thus making it very easy for the user to win the game, then they can just decrease the powers of the tool thereby increasing the fun quotient.

For example, in a tank battle game, if the tank has caused more than 90 per cent of deaths, the data miners will understand that the weapon has more power than needed and they will reduce its power.

In a bizarre incident, Skype first launched its App for the iPad just to withdrew it hours later citing few bugs in it.

“To ensure your best Skype experience, we’ve temporarily removed Skype for iPad which went live prematurely today,” Skype said, clarifying its decision to pull out the app.

The new Skype app for iPad brings VoIP services along with video calling for the Apple’s iOS based tablet. Built specially for the iPad tablet, the interface is quite similar to that of the other iPad apps. Skype for iPad works with any H.264 codec standard supporting devices including the iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, Mac, PC and Skype enabled TVs.

The app can send and receive video calls using the front or the back panel camera on iPhone 4, iPad 2, and the iPod touch fourth generation. Skype video calling requires iOS 4.0 or above and works over Wi-Fi as well as 3G where in you may have to pay for the data charges.

However, Video call through Skype is not available for the Android 3.0 Honeycomb based tablets and is available only for select smartphones only.

The Skype iPad app is like its iPhone and Android counterpart that has facility for text chat, audio calling and video calling.
