Prof. Rajinder S. Chauhan Pro Vice Chancellor Himachal Pradesh University I feel extremely proud to see UIIT’s magazine “ANIMUS” taken one step forward in bringing out its third edition. A creative effort of the UIIT magazine committee. The publication of a magazine is one of the most important activities for a professional institute that marks the culmination of several activities and contributes towards the all-round development of the students in the college bringing out the best in each one of them and giving them an opportunity to showcase their talents. It also aids in highlighting the various achievements of the institution. I feel gratified to see how the students have handled everything so well and have projected a professional image making them ready for the practical world outside. I wish the magazine committee all the very best and good luck for their future endeavours.

Prof. P. K. Ahluwalia Dean Planning & Teachers Matters and Director IQAC Himachal Pradesh University I am immensely happy that the students of UIIT under the banner of the magazine committee and ITSA are continuing with the tradition of student’s annual magazine. It is quite a complex exercise though ultimately aesthetically designed magazine may look very simple and pleasing. This reminds me of one of the greatest quotes of Steve Jobs: an iconic figure in the field of information technology who foresaw what this technology will mean to the mankind in future: “That’s been one of my favourite mantras- focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex. You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.” This act of publishing the magazine also requires focus as a team for making it see the light of the day which UIITIANS have in abundance. Indeed it is true that simplicity and focus is required in every task which you wish to accomplish in life. There are opportunities waiting for you beyond your institute. Stay simple and focused and you will become achievers. Wish you all the best in your new enterprises which you may like to try and dream.

Prof. M.S. Chauhan Dean of Students’ Welfare Himachal Pradesh University Coordinator It is heartening to know that UIIT is bringing out another issue of its annual magazine “Animus”. I congratulate the entire magazine committee, ITSA, the faculty, staff and students of UIIT for taking the responsibility to plan and publish this useful journal Mssg which will help people to know about the interesting inside stories of the institute and will definitely make them appreciate the creative talent of the student body. The Magazine is a window reflecting the wisdom, activities, and all-round development of an Institution in its truest colors. All the earlier issues of the magazine had been a true mirror of all academic and creative potentials of the students. I am sure that this issue will also be as perfect as the earlier ones. I take this opportunity to wish you all the very best for the coming years, and pray for your future too, to scale greater heights. I sincerely compliment UIIT on the release of the magazine. May God reward all, of their strenuous efforts and commitment. Please continue such efforts in the future as well.

Prof. Manu Sood Director, University Institute of Information Technology Himachal Pradesh University “If you salute your work, you do not have to salute anybody. If you pollute your work, you have to salute everybody.” APJ Abdul Kalam I am immensely delighted to present to you ‘ANIMUS’, the 3rd edition of the magazine of our Institute which promises not only to entertain you as readers but also to enlighten you. ‘ANIMUS’ presents an account of all the activities undertaken during the session 2013-14 at our Institute and marks the culmination of another beautiful session at our temple of learning. It showcases not only the unparallel talent and innovative ideas of young minds of the UIIT family; but their diversity of minds, thoughts, imagination, creativity and skills. This issue is truly beaming with positive energy of enormous enthusiasm. This magazine is a huge and enormous effort and a vital link as well in the process of building the engineers of tomorrow. The task like this opens up the vistas of opportunities to do a little introspection and look back on the accomplishments of the year that was. In addition, it generates the positive vibes from the satisfying and successful tasks carried out during the last session. This exactly is what we have achieved ultimately! This edition of the magazine has undergone a sea change as compared to its previous two versions. One of the major changes carried out is in the name itself whereby it has been rechristened as ‘ANIMUS’ (a Latin word which means ‘memory’). It also contains an article to rightly justify this action. “It is our choices, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.” J. K Rowling When we embark upon the journey of publishing the annual magazine of the Institute as wonderful as this one, every care is taken to choose the best of the talents among the students so that the task is completed successfully with the bestresults. This magazine therefore, is the outcome of the hard work, perseverance, dedication and diligence of a well coordinated team of editorial board (from all classes of the institute), staff members and others who did directly or indirectly contribute in its successful publication. The Editorial board has accomplished an outstanding job of shaping the magazine in its current ‘entirely new and refreshing look’. I feel gratified when I realize that we all are putting in our ‘best efforts’ in carrying forward the mission of helping our students grow as competent professionals to combat the challenges in their respective lives; and making them good human beings with moral excellence and social sensitivity. My warm wishes to all ‘my beloved students’ for achieving the best academic performance and purusing a fulfilling career taken in their life. “The successful warrior is the average man, with laser-like focus.” Bruce Lee I express my deep sense of admiration for all those associated with the task of producing this beautiful magazine and extend my best wishes for the sparkling future of each and every individual at UIIT.

Anuj Bhatia President Information Technology Students Association, 2013-14 On behalf of the entire ITSA, I am pleased to introduce you to the third edition of our institute‘s annual magazine: “Animus 2014”. Thanks to the combined efforts of magazine committee, faculty, staff, and friends, we also were able to advance many of our specific programme goals. One of the fruits of this collective effort is “Animus 2014”. Today, the call emanates from a world that has experienced an explosion of knowledge. It is a world that has developed wondrous technologies that link continents. Our magazine committee is uniquely capable of answering this call, of speaking to this world. I would especially like to thank the magazine committee for their extra efforts to bring the magazine to this level. These pupils are a new generation of leaders —men and women who will be capable of shaping the future with vision—with a sense of calling and with concern for all of the ITSA. We pursue challenges because it is a worthy goal for any college, but particularly for UIIT, where we want to work in a dynamic equilibrium with its social, scientific, ecological and economic environment, striving continuously for excellence in education, research and technological services —challenges are inspirations. We continue to create and sustain intellectually challenging programs, academic study, educational tours, industrial exposure, placement drives and to advance our commitment to provide a vibrant, diverse and supportive campus environment.

Animus 2015 Why a leaked Windows 8.1 update and Microsoft’s new CEO bode well for PC lovers?

With Update that vision, Steve Jobs, passed away over two years ago. 1, however, I’m beginning to question the validity of this new direction, and am now wondering whether God knows, Microsoft tries. It’s a wonderful observer Microsoft has simply fallen into an all-too-familiar and follower. After watching Windows Vista trap of trying to please everyone, and creating a product that is ultimately not ideal for anyone. get mismanaged and then slapped around by Apple, it tapped Steven Sinofsky to If you look back over the decades at the reimagine Windows.

He was belligerent and one- Windows has always attempted to satisfy sided, didn’t work well with others, had every possible customer need, and as such it often provides multiple ways to accomplish no qualms about tossing out features and the same thing.

The Mac, by contrast, often feels like it was designed by a single person. The reason this happened is that while Sinofsky had the maniacal power and force of will of a Steve Jobs, I sort of excused this reality in the past by noting that Microsoft he lacked Jobs’ best gift: An innate understanding of with Windows targeted a much bigger and more diverse good design. Windows 8 is not well-designed. It’s a audience than did Apple with the Mac. (This is what made those mess.
