Around Me:9yr Lad Wins Doodle 4 Google Contest

Puru Pratap Singh, a 9 year old, Class IV student from Gurgaon, India, has won the Doodle 4 Google Contest

The theme of the year for the Google 4 Doodle Contest was “My India”.

Puru will receive a laptop for winning the Doodle 4 Google contest and his school will receive a technology grant of INR 1,00,000 or approx. USD $2,165 from Google India.

You can check out his Doodle on the Google homepage and at Google Logos

Some of the other interesting Doodles which made it to the contest:

Puru, a student of Amity International, Gurgaon, said, "My doodle is based on the theme ‘My India Full of Life’. The ‘G’ (in Google) explains India is a land of diversity and a country which has a blend of traditions and religions. The peacock in my artwork describes the vibrant Indian culture. With ‘O’ I have tried to represent the country’s success in discovering water on Moon."
"In the other ‘G’ I have depicted Kashmir, the crown of India. ‘L’ shows the Amar Jawan Jyoti that reminds us of the sacrifices made by Indian soldiers. And we cannot think of India without Mahatma Gandhi so I have dedicated ‘E’ to him," Puru said.
Puru gives the credit of his win to his mother Arti. "We are proud his creation has been selected and will be on Google’s homepage for a day," said Puru’s parents Navin Pratap Singh and Arti. Puru has also been awarded a laptop, a t-shirt with his doodle and Rs 1,00,000 as technology grant for his school.

This announcement was made by Shailesh Rao, Managing Director, Google India and Dennis Hwang at a celebration today in New Delhi for the 46 semi–finalists and their families. Each Doodle submitted represented the immense creative talent and richness of ideas of students across the country. The champion doodler has been drawing since he could hold a crayon. In addition, all finalists will be given a Doodle4Google certificate along with a Google goody bag.

"At Google we like to play! "Doodle4Google symbolizes that playful spirit of Google and is a celebration of creativity and in this case, of India. We are excited to present the results of India’s first edition of this contest and laud the young Indian doodlers who have showcased their wonderful creativity in the form of inspiring doodles that represent the various facets of India," remarks Shailesh Rao, Managing Director, Google India.

Adds Dennis Hwang, the Master Doodler "India is a land of creative minds. For centuries, Indian art has continued to fascinate people from across the globe. It was amazing to see how young kids could come out with highly creative Doodles that truly define the culture and tradition of this incredible country. Choosing the successful entry was not easy as every Doodle depicts India in a unique manner."

Dennis Hwang was present for the awards function and gave Puru, his award for winning the Doodle 4 Google Contest.

Around Me:YouTube Adds Machine-Generated Automatic Captions

YouTube clips have previously allowed for captioning, but it was a system that was a little buggy and only worked from YouTube's site. That's all changed with the advent of machine-generated captions and auto-timing.

Google's automatic speech recognition (ASR) technology has been paired up with YouTube's caption system to create automatic captions for the majority of the videos that are uploaded (at the rate of 20 hours of footage every minute). It should cover the needs of your caption viewing needs, although they'll continue to streamline and improve this technology as things progress.

If you don't want to leave the captioning of your video to the hands of the YouTube caption system, they've also added an auto-timing function, which allows you to upload a simple text file to be read. The text will sync up with your video without any timing breaks or coding added to the file. The previous system of captioning was mainly user generated and required a little professional know how when it comes to coding and video editing—thus, most videos were caption-less, making them inaccessible to those with hearing impairments.

For those who aren't in need of captions, there's still an added bonus for you. With the advent of all the new text in association with what's on screen, it will make videos easier to search for and find, even if you don't know the title.
