Well I have bought the windows 7 retail pack that was having the both 32 bit and the 64 bit DVD pack. So yes it is available and the OEM is the one which is sold wilt the new system and isn’t the retail box . if you are buying the windows 7 separately with the new machine in that case you will get the OME pack generally. If you are getting windows separately then you have to buy the retail box pack. As far as I knew OEM pack doesn’t sold separately , it is illegal . I hope this help

OEM is tied to the initial computer they are activated on plus can be installed on just one computer. Retail be able to later be put in to another computer and can be installed onto two computers used completely by the similar person. MOLP (Volume) licenses can just be bought in quantities of 5 or additional however can be shared with other software to make the 5 licenses

32 bit and the 64 bit depend on the provider from wher you are going to purchase and OME means the company but for use on its own product like if apple purchase the optical drive by the Samsung that the Apple is the OEM.

Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Software is bundled with the computer When see the company like the Dell , Lenovo , or Hp (to name a few), you can buy Office Software together with the computer, for much less than buying Retail Office Software . a few Internet retailers, you may discover (such as so called software clearance websites), present OEM software - not just Office Suites, although Operating Systems, as well as Antivirus Suites. The buyer should cautiously weigh the advantages and disadvantages of purchasing OEM software against retail boxed product.

The main question is that is it possible to upgrade to the windows 8 for the previous version in any way. I am not sure about this but as windows 8 is very much different from the windows 7 that I wonder that they will be able to upgrade

I think but I am not certain that the upgradation to windows 7 from the vista is that the many of the Microsoft users were consider the vista as a bad build so Microsoft allowed them to upgrade , but windows 7 is a good build and has no such problem like the windows vista so I think , the upgradation will not likely to possible

Well I believe to keep the previous costumer with them, Microsoft will probably will perhaps will make the upgradation available. I don’t know what is the difference that windows 8 and windows 7 has but I am sure that in comparison to the windows 7 , windows 8 will be more fast and lite . And I heard that he Google has there OS release named Google Chrome OS which is much lighter and fast than Microsoft's OS

I restarted the computer and time capsule, but to no avail. The other Macs at home (those running Leopard and Snow Leopard) a good backup. It's just my Mac with the lion that does not make backups.

I have exactly the same annoying trouble (error 111) and tried all the obvious methods: Finder relaunching, rebooting the Mac and TC, even check and repair the sparse bundle volume with Disk Utility. That last action seemed to work, nevertheless regrettably after 25 minutes over again saw the infamous fault note.

I imagine this is a extremely irritating bug that should be determined speedily! I completely rely on these backups of my work.

I have the same trouble - identical message, and since then we went to Leon. Nothing seems to work - maybe a full wipe out and backup? (Actually you are concerned that this is going to go out with no backup at all if it does not work?)

I already had my Macbook pro with Mac os x lion and bought the 2TB time capsule this past weekend. It's a good backup from Sunday, but suddenly today (3 days later) I get the same error 111. I hope a solution is coming soon or I'll have to return this within the return period.

I've been on several different forums and have tried every single suggested solution. I upgraded to OSx Lion about 2 weeks ago and my Time Machine hasn't worked since. None of the suggestions are working that are in this error forum or on the Apple Community forum. Trying to fix:

Time Machine could not complete the backup.
The backup disk image “/Volumes/xxxxxxxx..... MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error 111).

Has anyone actually gotten ahold of someone at Apple to get this fixed?

Can you try to unplug the Airport Extreme with the hard drive if you have and then plug it again and check if the error gets resolved?

Here are the system requirements that you must have to install OS X Mountain Lion

- Processor: 64-Bit Intel Core 2 Duo processor or later
- Ability to boot into OS X 64-bit kernel
- Good gpu chipset
- Internet connection to download the update.

If you are wondering as if how to check if your system has the ability to boot into OS X 64-bit kernel, for that what you have to do is type “uname -a” at the command line, and launch the Terminal. Now it will return you something like this

Quote:
Darwin MacBookAir 11.2.0 Darwin Kernel Version 11.2.0: Tue Aug 9 20:54:00 PDT 2011; root:xnu-1699.24.8~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64
Just check for the “x86_64” if it is there then you can confirm that your mac is capable of booting in a 64 bit kernel.

I really don’t think that it will be affecting the batteries and the performance of the MacBook Air, anyways you can only confirm out the same after the release of it, there is still some time for the Mountain Lion to be released to the public.

I have found some people using the developer preview of the os x Mountain Lion and a no of have them mentioned that it has affected the battery and has decreased the standby by time as well, I have not yet tried out the same on my mac so I am not that sure about the same, I think that it will be too early to accept the review of the developer preview as that of the original os x Mountain Lion.

What are the issues you were having through OS X. What version or description was it. Why do you imagine it utilizes too much CPU.

Browser crashes with Flash Player 10.2

2011-08-07T00:45:00.000-07:00

I am having a large flash application and have installed the Flash Player 10.2 and after installing this, I found that the browser getting crashed after this. I am not able to make use of that. Can you tell me that if this is the problem with only me or there are other users with the same version having problem. If you have some solution that can help me to resolve the issue then please let me know that. I will be thankful to all the suggestions.

If this is the problem with the flash player then what you can do is just go to the adobe.com and from there update the flash player. There is more possibility that this will resolve the problem for you. I have seen some of the similar cases where doing the update resolve the problem and I wish that it will do the same for you. If that does not resolve the problem then please reply back and we will give you some advanced solution to get out of the issue.

We have tried to isolate the problem to a particular line of code, but have not been able to learn where it could be happening. It's definitely a theme Flash Player 10.2, which is causing some code in our application to crash the browser. We tried to analyze our application in Firefox through the sampling Mac OS and crashes on the same spot each time. We have not been able to decode any of this information, because even the regular Flash Player and method names are obfuscated. If it was the debug player could utilize tracing to get more information regarding where the problem is.

I have a Flex web application. People come to our web application and your browser crashes. This crashes for us (the developers who made the Web application). This is for anyone who uses our web application and are using the newest version of Flash Player 10.2. Whether this is because of an installation problem or there must be a problem with the way Flash Player installed. Run the application with a new installation of Windows 7, Chrome and cool fresh install Flash Player 10.2 installer makes that error log.

It seems that there may be a solution. We managed to follow the theme of a particular switch statement in the code. Wrapping the statement in a try-catch prevented the browser crashinig in our test case. We are still monitoring to see if this has solved the problem in all cases. We probably will go through our code and set all switch statements which perform the complicated calculus (in particular, when an exception might occur) in the try-catch.

This does not occur with every user accounts. There is a particular user account in which we can repeat this 100% of the time, so we can confirm the problem is happening in every area of OS / browser (note all the points contained in my original post) . For some user accounts without verifying the hardware acceleration increases the time before the application crashes. For our user account where you can reproduce the problem 100%, to immobilize hardware acceleration makes no difference. With this user account you did not have the problem using the Flash Player debugging or 10.2 of the FP player 10.1.

Getting the Windows 7 Media Center screensaver

2011-08-07T00:44:00.000-07:00

Anybody have any idea for installing screensaver that the Media Center is using in window 7 so that it can become system screen savers. I have checked other forums but was unable to get a related reply. It is something that taking all your pictures and then rendering them as if they are on the wall, and then zooming in and out. I loved to do it but it will better if I can get Windows 7 Media Center screensaver to be the system screensaver

It is quite simple in windows media center go to Tasks > Settings > Picture and then check the box of Play my favorite pictures as a screen saver"

After that make sure that the media center is not in the “media only mode” i.e. Tasks > Media Only. After that set your systems screen saver. This should work as you need.

I think you have not understood the problem, my pictures screensaver is working fine, but it is only displaying the pictures. The Media center screensaver, when it transitions between different pictures, it zooms out, and group of pictures you have rendered as if they are on the wall and you are looking at it. After that camera moves along the wall and then zooms into another picture. That is the thing I need the screen saver for my desktop.

I was also facing the similar problem, but after performing too much experiment, I got this solution. Go to > control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Personalization > Change Screen Saver > Screen Saver > None.
Then you have go to Windows Media Center > Settings > Pictures>Slide Show Screen Saver > Set Screen Saver to time you want and check box of "Play my favorite pictures as screen saver"

After that set the Windows Media Center to "Full Screen".
This solution has worked for me but I am not sure that it will work for you also.

Re: Getting the Windows 7 Media Center screensaver to be the system screensaver
I am having simpler solution for this you just need to download "Screen Launcher 1.0". The Screen Launcher application is designed for helping the user to choose any program to run as a screensaver. It could be a Powerpoint, a movie or any EXE or related file.

For installing this file you just need to unzip it and then right click and then install it on the context menu. It can be use like any other screen saver.

How to make anaglyph 3D video out of regular

2011-08-07T00:37:00.001-07:00

I want to make an anaglyph 3D film out of the footage of my sister's wedding. It will be her present
Heard it's possible to do in Adobe After Effects. But the thing is I've never used this program, so it'll be difficult for me to understand what to do without any help (any AE pros here?). Also on other forum I was recommended 3D Video Converter, which is said to convert any format video to anaglyph 3D. But I don't know.. Has anyone tried it? Or maybe you know any other software that can solve my 3D issue?

Thanks

I dont know about adobe after effects but there is a tool called Movavi Video Converter 3D that I can accross that can convert 2d movies into 3d movies but I think you will need a good graphics card for the support. You can download it and check whether it suits your need or not, for instance check out its features:

Automatic 2D to 3D conversion.
Instant preview of 3D output.
HD-video ready.
Support of polarization glasses, shutter technology (NVIDIA), and anaglyph 3D glasses.
Support of 3D TVs, NVIDIA 3D Vision Glasses Kit, and 120 Hz displays.
Ready-made predefined settings for various devices and the web (iPad, YouTube, PlayStation PS3, Xbox 360 etc).
Batch file processing.
Automatic brightness feature.
3D depth and shift effect adjustment.
CPU acceleration on 2010 Intel Core processors.
GPU acceleration with NVIDIA CUDA (encoding only).

Discussion regarding SlimCleaner?

2011-08-07T00:36:00.002-07:00

Hello friends I needed to clean some unused files on my pc and the utilities which I don’t want and have some disk cleaning to do well regarding this while searching on internet I just saw this software and I was thinking to buy this but I don’t know anything about it so just want to know have anyone used it before has any experience for this and can please suggest me should I go ahead with this or I need to select some other software and can also suggest me which would be a better one if not this?
Well not still haven’t used this one but I think it would be nice I have also gone through it and I am finding it better I think I would be downloading it too and check out whether it would be nice or no for this purpose but you know what I don’t think they would be providing complete version for free and just a trial version is never help full just downloading it won’t help you got to buy it, well until I use it I can’t say that don’t buy it or buy it what I can say is it seems good and you can see the trial version first befor buying.
Hey no problem in getting this software I have used it and it has been very nice for me working really fine and has a good capability to remove unwanted files and do its work so don’t think you would be finding any problem regarding this just download it from a genuine site don’t download a corrupted version and get a problem for yourself that’s it what I would be saying and this software is nice don’t worry. it has got good review and also been certified by Microsoft as you can see over its site.and i hope this would be a good software
This SlimCleaner is doing good in market and if it is successful in market means it does have something which is making people buy it and so I think as its review says it’s a good software you don’t need to worry in buying it you can go for it and I am also using it so I can surely say it would make up happy and you would be satisfied with it use it and enjoy the software. Do get it you will be satisfied and there are many other software you can go for but only if you dint knew about this but when you have asked about this you should go with this and forget other software because this is better than all of them.
Letting you know about SlimCleaner's it has the quality of quick scanning, isolating junk data’s that can be creating a build up problem. It has the quality of flagging them temp files, history files, internet log and all of those stuff that are not useful for you and has been stucked on your disk space and would have been successful in lowing down your computers performance. In other words slimcleaner can also help in making your system work faster.
Well I haven’t used this but I have heard about it but I have been using itunes clean up from longer time and I have no problem with this this works completely fine and has no problem. Well this software slimcleaner is also Microsoft certified so I think they are goin to be good to anyways there are lots of software to work over for deleting unwanted files and all but they have number of problem they are not actually capable of doing this so I think downloading any other software would be waste of time either go for slimcleaner or go for itunes.
I have seen people using disk clean up from computer itself you can do defragmentation to you computer rather than goin for more softwares in your pc this software would be used once and kept unused for longer and they would be one of those files which are rarely used so better use disk clean up for this they really work fine thay are to capable of deleting internet log files and unwanted or unused files holding space on your disk from long and they are always trusted files to as they are already from windows use them and see and if you are not satisfied then go for slimcleaner.

How can I delete software’s which I don’t want in my pc?

2011-08-07T00:36:00.000-07:00

Hey friend’s I just want to delete software which I don’t want to be existed in my computer this software is invisible in the start menu I have tried some utilities to but it was invisible to them to when this was occurring what I did is I went to c program and deleted all the related filed to it and all the exe files to and the problem is whenever I am starting up my pc it starts giving me pop-ups and an error messages, sometime it said Local Disk C: not available, And you know what I haven’t even downloaded this software I think it’s an zombie software. My pc is also forced to restart many time What should I do please suggest am just frustrated with this this is really pissing me up please help me by suggesting some views for it, can anyone?
Ok dear, have you tried it deleting from the control panel add /remove files you can do that if you haven’t tried it still I don’t know what’s the problem why is it saying Local disk not found I haven’t saw such problem but I think you should try that out, I think it is because you have deleted the folder from system file but the registry files are still there you can try by deleting those registry files. Or maybe your software has been affected by the viruses and you can scan whole computer and check if your antivirus is able to detect that file as a corrupted file and then you can remove it from there, hope you get it from there and get your problem done
Hey friend I am not very good in finding up solutions for such questions try control panel add remove task or try by Revo Uninstaller Pro I have been using it and it does work for me hope you are too helped by it and if you are saying it is an zombie file I think you need to download splitzilla it is any spyware remove and it dose removes zombie files to don’t worry I think you would be really helped by it and if there is a restarting problem then you can off course get it done in safe mode this would help you by not forcing you by restarting hope so my view is helpful to you all the best.
Well the solutions don’t seem to be bad but I have something extra to talk about if you are done with this entire thing and still you are having the problem I think you need to restore your pc just go to program, accessories, system tools and then restore your system to a date before the day you started getting this problem and I am sure if this is done your problem would be solved for sure and if not that just format your computer because as you are saying it is an zombie software as you haven’t downloaded it you really need to get rid of this as soon as possible someone may be using you for some unfair means, so formatting your pc would sure solve your problem but keep this as your last option and you can format on c drive I hope that is enough to and your other drives would remain safe to so don’t need to worry for that.
There are some programs which can be deleted with their own uninstaller and as the software gets installed it has that uninstaller on your start menu or you can find it in the folder in program files where the software has been installed but as you have said you have deleted all the files concerned with it even the exe files then I think you have deleted that uninstaller also so try to download it from net and then try to uninstall it from the uninstaller or format the pc because keeping such files can be fatal to other files to and trying to change your registry files and all also can be dangerous so better format your pc if all the above don’t work.

This is not a old question had been asked by n number of people and it has the same solution like downloading software's for it continuously deleted unwanted files regular and i have a software which is know as slimcleaner i have been using this software and it has really worked for me when i wanted to delete all unwanted files after searching for good software i got this one and i used it this software is Microsoft certified and so it can be trusted to it really has good features. try this one out you would really be satisfied with this and your problme would be solved.

Is this high VenX Temp or normal?

2011-08-07T00:35:00.000-07:00

Hello friends, I am running the Prime95 Large FFTs intended for stability. The idle temp of the system when it is idle is 30 – 40 C. I have never turned on the power saving features just to make sure that it is 100% stable. When it is loaded then it shows me 60 – 70 C on the lowest core, this is 77 -79 C and on the hottest core it is 77-79C and getting 5C low in Prime95. I am having the VenX w/ a Scythe S-Flex F running in push config. Can you tell me that if this is the normal temperature. Do
I am interested in someone's opinion about your problem. I will say that is absolutely normal. I'm getting the temps like 35c idle and 40. Load, I get about 70 C with 4.0 GHz HT on @1.28 volts, case closed. Ambient temperatures can vary between all and affect temperatures. In addition, the flow of air is another thing. How much pressure is applied to the command center?

The VX comes through chillfactor 2, which is better than AS5. Why not use it? Do not worry, I'm lucky with the components: I bought 2 Sapphire 5870s, put them in CFX and after a few minutes of game devices. It broke. Sent back to Sapphire and had to wait two months to get replaced. I replaced them with 2 GPU HD5870XXX. I bought a Gigabyte I7 budget and I've been troubleshooting a problem for over 2 months and no one can help me.

If you feel that the temperature is quite high then the normal one then you can make use of some cooling system and install that on your system and that will surely help you to reduce the temperature of the system. There are many of them available on internet. Just search for that and download the one which suits your requirement and fits in your budget. Do it soon before overheating makes some major damage to your system.

I have a faulty pressure support because it took great strength to bring into the side. I hope not to break my motherboard. My pressure support to 70 pounds and the it moved in all directions. It took 5 resist to realize that one of the screws had to be largely forced to finally put some pressure on the cooler. I'm already upset and angry with this. I will put it in a couple of hours and if does not work because the pressure had to apply, I'll throw out the window. What idiot designed it?

My query regarding the course is basically that being an engineer by profession I am interested in Mftech course. Just let me know about the difference between MFM and MFTech. What kind of job do you get after completing the course and to which field is it related to. Needs some light on the phase which would then help me well to get to a better conclusion.

For you information let me tell you all that MFM is an industry centered management which has covered all sorts of subjects related to garment retail and fashion, marketing and merchandising. Other than that as you need to know about MFtech it is related to garment manufacturing technology. It basically provides you a placement in export house but mfm is more focused on the management side of fashion and retail..So this is the basic difference between both . So check out for the related term and industry that you want to pursue your career in. The information is provided.
That was really a good information about the thing. Thanks for the information. I got to know what kind of jib nature do they both posses. I will be looking for ward to pursue my career in MFM. I hope management is better also i am interested in that field. So I guess I can make well and process the needs as required properly without any hesitation.
Yes the same is been with me. I have a lot of interest in management course. SO looking forward to do the certification with the same. I hope this will surely help me out well for getting the thing to be sorted well and then make the implementation. You will then be able to work out well for the same and thus this will surely make the things to be implemented. Good luck for all.

I was also thinking of doing mftect or mfm. I have done btech in IT. Am I eligible for mfm as it is not clear from the eligibility criteria stated on nift website. Please also tell me about the job oportunities after mfm. Will it be better if i do mfm after few years of experience?

2011-07-27T09:47:00.002-07:00

I am currently working as a software engineer in Pune India.
I wanted to learn Windows device drivers, windows debugging.
Is there any renowned institution that can help me.
I know about Concept Systems Pune that teaches this courses but I dont know the feedback of this institution.

Getting started with Microsoft Windows device drivers can be difficult, even for experienced developers. This paper presents an overview of the debugging and testing tools that developers use to create a device driver for Windows operating systems. In particular, the paper examines ways to find and fix bugs early in development, to help you produce a high-quality device driver. More information can be found here.

eBooks: What about taking over the French market?

2011-07-27T09:47:00.000-07:00

I am French and I live in California. I am working as a translator online. In France, I was a journalist. And I also have a Master in Philosophy.

I know that the US market to resell eBooks is full. But the French one is not at all.
I am working with someone for more than a year, now. He is asking me to translate eBooks in order to be one of the first to launch this business in France. And he's doing pretty good.

So, if you're interested in having your eBooks, Articles, Newsletters, etc. translated in French to give it a try, please contact me.

Regards,

Renaud Sanson

Well, any person now a days can use google translator to translate any language in english, french, russian, etc. Google Translate is a free automatic translator. It works without the intervention of human translators, using state-of-the-art technology instead. Google Translate currently supports translation between 57 languages.

Thanks for the answer. But, obviously, you are not fluent in two languages... Otherwise, you wouldn't even think about translating an eBook using these tools.

Even if they're getting better and better, that's still not enough.

Mobile phone market declined by almost

2011-06-19T09:07:00.001-07:00

Mobile phone sales fell by 12.6 percent to 289 million units in the
fourth quarter of 2008 compared with the same quarter a year ago,
market research firm IDC said Wednesday.

For the full year, mobile phone vendors shipped a total of 1.18
billion units worldwide, IDC said, 3.5 percent more than the 1.14
billion units of 2007.

The company described the double-digit drop in mobile phone shipments
in the fourth quarter as an "unusual downturn," but said the first
half of 2009 would remain "very challenging."

"The fourth quarter was the perfect storm of factors to produce this
result," said Ramon Llamas, a senior research analyst with IDC.

"A combination of weak end-user demand, currency volatility, and
limited credit availability prevented the market from experiencing the
usual seasonal increase in shipments," he said.

Llamas said IDC expects the first half of 2009 to be "very challenging
as vendors and distributors grapple with clearing inventory.

Google going mobile with Book Search

2011-06-19T09:05:00.002-07:00

The search giant on Thursday launched a mobile version of its Google
Book Search, giving iPhone and Android users instant access to more
than 1.5 million public domain books. The works of authors such as
William Shakespeare, Jane Austen, and Charles Dickens were optimized
to be read on the small screen, a challenge the Google Book Search
team called "daunting" in a blog post announcing the launch:

There's an interesting backstory about the work involved to prepare so
many books for mobile devices. If you use Google Book Search, you'll
notice that our previews are composed of page images made by
digitizing physical copies of books. These page images work well when
viewed from a computer, but prove unwieldy when viewed on a phone's
small screen.

Our solution to make these books accessible is to extract the text
from the page images so it can flow on your mobile browser just like
any other web page. This extraction process is known as Optical
Character Recognition (or OCR for short).

However, as the team notes, there are frequently obstacles that keep
the printed word from being accurately extracted, such as smudges,
fancy fonts, old fonts, and torn pages. As an example of an "extreme
case," the team presented the this page image from Lewis Carroll's

perfect memory for anyone looking for the fastest possible performance
from their Intel Core i7-based system."

Garmin Finds a Friend in Asus for Smartphone

2011-06-19T09:04:00.003-07:00

Hardware maker Asus and navigation system manufacturer Garmin
announced a "strategic alliance" Wednesday that will result in a line
of cobranded mobile phones. Each company will bring their specialty —
mobile telephony and navigation, respectively — to the table for the
line of location-centric Garmin-Asus Nuvifone models, several of which
are expected to hit store shelves in 2009.

Garmin originally announced plans for its so-called Nuvifone in 2008.
That device will be renamed the "G60" and will be available in the
first half of 2009.

Asus, perhaps best known in the U.S. for its line of ultra-small Eee
PC netbooks, is an up-and-comer in the mobile phone space. It makes
sense for a navigation company to team with a company that builds
phones, Rob Enderle, principal analyst at Enderle Group.

A Multitasking Operating System - Android

2011-06-19T09:04:00.001-07:00

Former Apple designer Mark Hamblin is tinkering with Google and
partners' Android so it can work in a slew of gadgets other than
wireless phones

When Google and its partners first unveiled plans for the Android
operating system, they billed it as software that would run mobile
phones. That mission was accomplished the following year with the late
2008 release of T-Mobile's G1 phone. More Android-enabled handsets are
on the way. But before long, you may be seeing Android in a lot of
other electronic devices.

Mark Hamblin (who helped design the original touchscreen for the Apple
iPhone) Now the CEO of Touch Revolution. Hamblin is tinkering with
Android so it can work in a slew of gadgets other than wireless
phones. Touch Revolution plans to introduce a remote control and a
touchscreen land-line home phone that will be powered by Android.

Nivio launched online storage backup facility

2011-06-19T09:03:00.007-07:00

Nivio, the online computing utility, announced the launch of NivioLite
Free, a free online storage & backup facility created to ease data
security risks. With increasing threat of data loss, theft and
compromised user privacy, this new service from Nivio allows people to
greatly reduce these risks by providing safe, robust, online data
storage for critical information.

Anyone signing up for NivioLite Free receives 1GB of secure storage
(enough to store around 400 photos or 200 songs) absolutely free.
Users needing additional storage space can simply purchase extra
storage on a pay-per-use basis.

Alternatively, for a small fee of just Rs. 208.5 (£3)a month, users
can upgrade to Nivio Full Service which allows full access to Nivio's
virtual Windows Desktop where one can create and edit files. This
would include the nDrive, a user intuitive tool that facilitates an
easy and quick transfer of files between a local computer and the
Nivio online desktop.

The cloud-based nDrive will go head-to-head with Google's much
speculated GDrive storage service. The nDrive gives users a massive 5
GBs of storage with the ability to buy more on a pay-per-use basis.
nDrive's 'drag and drop' functions also means that transferring files
between a computer and Nivio is as simple as dragging them onto a
traditional USB stick, but without all the hassle of traditional
hardware. nDrive will be available to users as early as mid February.

With these newly launched services from Nivio, files can be accessed
anytime, anywhere - from any internet café or wherever there's an
internet-enabled computer. This makes it particularly useful for those
who don't have their own home computer or laptop, and for people who
work from different locations.

Nivio's CEO Sachin Duggal, one of the Technology Pioneers 2009 at the
World Economic Forum in Davos, explains "with the nDrive and NivioLite
offerings, there's no need for USB sticks or portable hard drives. All
your files, photos, music or any data from any computer can be
backed-up on Nivio. Making it safe from viruses and greatly reducing
the risk of data loss. With the nDrive and NivioLite, anything that's
backed-up is always online and ready to retrieve whenever it's
needed".

HP urges LaserJet users to patch printers

2011-06-19T09:03:00.003-07:00

Hewlett-Packard has warned owners of some of its laser printers to
update their devices' firmware or risk having remote attackers access
previously-printed documents.

In an advisory published Wednesday, HP said that users of certain
LaserJet, Color LaserJet and Digital Sender models are affected, and
urged them to immediately download and install firmware upgrades.

The devices include 10 different LaserJet models -- ranging from the
2410 to the 9050 -- two Color LaserJet models and the 9200C Digital
Sender, a sheet-fed document scanner.

According to San Antonio, Texas-based Digital Defense, Inc., the
security company that reported the problem to HP last October,
attackers can exploit a bug in the printers' Web-based control
interface to "read arbitrary system configuration files, cached
documents, etc."

Exploiting the vulnerability, the Digital Defense researchers said, is
"trivial" with common Web server "directory traversal" tactics. A
directory transversal attack is an HTTP-based exploit that lets
attackers access restricted directories, and execute commands outside
of the server's root directory.

Adrien de Beaupre, an analyst with the SANS Institute 's Internet
Storm Center (ISC), added his voice to the call for patching printers.
"The impact might not seem severe, as in the attacker can view the
printer configuration; however, viewing cached versions of printed

Microsoft will eventually Revise the UAC

2011-06-19T09:02:00.005-07:00

When the control system was integrated UAC in Vista to allow better
insulation of accounts, it was quickly unpopular. Regularly asking for
confirmation of actions considered trivial, it was largely abated with
Service Pack 1. In a move to further simplify the process, Microsoft
has made some choices for Windows 7 that have recently shown that
malware can change the level of control without being bored. However,
the situation has to change abruptly.

The UAC and its simplified
While UAC had been much decried, is a real hardening of which occurred
before the initial choice of Microsoft. This has caused the emergence
of two problems:

The setup level of the UAC (four notches) could be modified by a
malware without confirmation is requested
A third plug-in could use a software or component of Windows,
known as safe, to raise its rights to administrator level

After the discovery of these problems, many applications have been
made to Microsoft. Simplifying the use of Windows 7 was certainly a
willingness, but many have found that it should not come at the
expense of safety.

Return to confirmation by the user
Accordingly, Steve Sinofsky, in charge of Windows development, and Jon
Devanna, published a new blog post on the official Windows 7. We learn
that the Release Candidate of the system will be fitted with two
important changes:

Control of the UAC will become a process of high integrity

Gmail Gets Multiple Inbox Panes

2011-06-19T09:02:00.003-07:00

Gmail has added an interesting feature you can opt-in to by choosing
Settings -> Labs -> Multiple Inboxes -> Enable -> Save Changes.

The latest labs product is Multiple Inboxes, which will create
separate panes for different filters or labels. So, you can see your
inbox, all messages containing the word 'pub', and all those half
finished drafts from one screen. You just need to go into 'settings',
enable the labs feature, and then check the box next to multiple
accounts.

I tried to create you a screen grab of my inbox, but eventually gave
up because I couldn't create one that wasn't incriminating in some way
or the another. I don't want you knowing that I'm subscribed to the
Lindsay Lohen fan list emails, after all. Also, when I tried it, it
looked like someone had thrown up emails all over my screen. The
creator (Vivi) has a much more attractive inbox.

Snow Leopard distributed to beta testers

2011-06-19T09:02:00.001-07:00

While the development of Windows 7 advance to the Release Candidate,
which rumors have announced the arrival in April, Apple also continues
work on Snow Leopard. In spring, without real information, the new Mac
OS X must provide a breath of freshness in the foundations of the
system. The Cupertino company has just given to selected testers a new
beta version.

Stamped precisely 10A261, beta apparently does not change much
"visible". It should be recalled that Snow Leopard is not intended to
be clearly different. Apple focuses on the foundations of his system
and renovating part of the code, in addition to getting rid of the
legacy PowerPC and completely redo parts of the system, including
QuickTime.

The new beta is a priori more stable than previous versions. Apple
officially calls testers to focus on some particular areas, including
connectivity with Exchange servers, since it is implemented in Mail,
iCal and Address Book. The Italian site Macity indicates that some
changes emerge in the system settings.

Recall that two of the main news of Snow Leopard is Grand Central and
OpenCL. The latter, recently finalized, is a language allowing the
operating system or an application to calculate the graphics card
transactions in normal times would be managed by the central
processor. Grand Central is to allow applications to better take
advantage of multiple processor cores.

Acer vows to become the World's top

2011-06-19T09:01:00.005-07:00

Acer, the world's third largest supplier of personal computers, said
at a press conference in Taiwan that it would work hard to become the
world's top vendor of mobile computers. Besides, the firm also
asserted that in 2009 it would at least sustain its market share and
revenue, but if all goes well, both would be up.

Acer is a company that has very favourable positions at the moment: it
owns well-known Acer and Packard Bell brands in Europe as well as
Gateway company in the U.S. Provided that Acer has a high-quality and
high-performance products, the firm will definitely be in position to
either secure or increase its market share or earnings, the reports
claim.

Acer shipped around five million netbook personal computers in 2008,
according to Mr. J.T. Wang, the president of the Acer conglomerate,
who projected the company to ship 12-15 million of the devices in
2009, which isl likely drive up the company`s total notebook PC
shipment by 25-30% from last year's volume.

Regardless of the global financial crisis, Mr. Wang asserted his
company`s market share and operating income for this year would surge
from last year. Acer originally planned to attain the goal of taking
the No.1 title in 2011, and Wang`s latest spot forecast suggests the
company will shorten the time. He said it is meaningful to make
Taiwan`s homegrown brand known globally if his company could
accomplish the goal earlier than originally planned.

Microsoft reveals 'My Phone' backup, sync

2011-06-19T09:01:00.003-07:00

Microsoft has launched a website promoting its new 'My Phone' backup
and sync service. According to the information now posted to the site,
users of My Phone will be able to back up contacts, calendar
appointments, text messages, photos and other information online;
share those photos with others; update the information from a computer
using a Web-based interface; and use the stored data to restore a
phone transfer it to a new device.
Earlier, Engadget Mobile reported that the My Phone site was live at
the getskybox.com domain. Later, Microsoft acknowledged the screw-up.
"Today, Microsoft's My Phone Web site went live prior to its scheduled
debut," the company said, several sites reported. Currently,
getskybox.com -- a reference to the "SkyBox" code name of the service
-- shunted users to the My Phone site.

Microsoft said it would give each user 200MB of storage space, but
warned that only phones powered by Windows Mobile 6 or later would be
compatible with the service. In fact, it hedged: "Most phones that run
the Windows Mobile 6 operating system are compatible with My Phone
service," said the service's site.
Unlike MobileMe, My Phone looks to be a mobile-only service and only
affords 200 MB of remote storage. While that might be enough for
mobiles it probably wouldn't last 10 seconds on a PC. This begs the
question… Why? Why isn't Microsoft offering the whole enchilada? Maybe
we'll see a complete sync service offered under a different name but
Windows Mobile users hoping SkyBox would be Microsoft's answer to
complete sync / backup competitors are apparently going to be
disappointed.

Snow Leopard: multitouch management

2011-06-19T09:01:00.001-07:00

We were talking of a new beta version of Snow Leopard, the next Mac OS
X from Apple. Thoroughly reviewed in its foundations and rid of the
old code dedicated to PowerPC processors, it should make little
visible features. As against, it has long been known that the
developers will have much more possibilities than with Leopard. And
potential increases with the integration of CoreLocation.

If the name is familiar to some of you is that this infrastructure is
already part of the SDK for iPhone. It allows software authors to use
geolocation, accessible from a Mac using a technology the company and
allows Skyhook positioning by triangulation when using a Wi-Fi
connection, of course, it will use just such a connection to use these
opportunities.

Another interesting possibility that there are now in Snow Leopard: a
real management infrastructure last multitouch trackpads found on the
MacBook, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air. It was already possible for
developers to make their applications compatible with the trackpad,
but the presence of a dedicated infrastructure greatly facilitate
things.

Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) will deploy a metro aggregation network for
Taiwan's largest telecom operator, Chunghwa Telecom (CHT), ensuring
high-quality, high-capacity broadband services, such as IPTV and
e-health, for both fixed and mobile access.

According to Chunghwa's market forecast, there will be an eighty
percent coverage of 30Mbps broadband network in Taiwan by 2011.
Ericsson's Marconi Optical Multi-Service (OMS) solution will be a key
component assist Chunghwa to take a leading position in this market.

The OMS solution improves capacity and network efficiency, eliminating
bottlenecks and significantly improving the quality and reliability of
bandwidth-intensive services such as IPTV. Ericsson's technology gives
users greater flexibility in terms of access technology choice,
supporting any type of service from a common metro network.

Mozilla alliance in Brussels against

2011-06-19T08:59:00.001-07:00

Mitchell Baker, president of the Mozilla Foundation, has publicly
announced through its blog that the Mozilla team would be held
alongside the European Commission to resolve the issue of monopoly of
Microsoft on the software market, especially , the browsers.

The outfit's chairwoman and former CEO Mitchell Baker posted a blog
late on Friday in which she backed last month's preliminary findings
by the European Commission, which stated the tying of IE to Windows
"harms competition between web browsers, undermines product innovation
and ultimately reduces consumer choice."

Mitchell Baker said that in 90 years the U.S. Department of Justice
had ruled promoting illegal Internet Explorer 4, which still allowed
the Redmond giant to earn 90% on the browser market in the
overwhelming supremacy of Netscape.

For its part, to gain some market share, Google announced last
November that its browser Chrome would soon be pre-installed on
certain versions of Windows in partnership with various manufacturers.

Mozilla has remained surprisingly quiet since news broke last month
that the European Union's executive body had given Microsoft eight
weeks to respond to its findings, which followed a year-long
investigation it launched after complaints from rival browser maker
Opera.

But now the non-profit organisation behind Firefox – the world's
second most popular browser – has stepped forward with an offer to
assist Brussels on "what an effective remedy would entail" in its
ongoing IE probe.

Windows 7: There Will Be No Ultimate Extras

2011-06-19T08:58:00.001-07:00

When Vista was launched, Microsoft has proposed the Ultimate edition
It had two main characters: all the features of all editions and bonus
extras, which were intended for regular outings. It was a question for
Microsoft to reward those who decided to pay for the license of Vista
Ultimate by offering content that was only them and no other edition.

The Vista Ultimate Extras: a disappointment
It must be said that this famous Ultimate edition was still sold
almost 600 euros in its infancy. It is found for a while now at a rate
as official 319 euros TTC on own online store from Microsoft. In fact,
there have been a bonus, but it is far from the number promised by
Microsoft, whose speech was reminiscent of a pace of releases.
Wallpapers animated two games, and other sounds: nice additions, but
nothing more.

And Microsoft does not repeat the mistake. Does this mean that the
editor it will accelerate the rate of release for Windows 7? No, the
firm opted for the opposite solution: there is simply more Ultimate
Extras. Why choose radical? We can say that the firm no longer want to
be bored with such details because exactly a criticism on the
permanent rate of release of these small animals.

No Extras in Windows 7
Anyone who has tested the public beta of Windows 7 have noticed this
lack in Windows Update, where the famous ships Extras:

Ars Technica has collected about Microsoft on this issue: "Our new
approach in planning and construction of Windows did not have the
capacity to continue to issue features outside the regular cycle.
While our main development team is focused on the arrival of the next
version, our support team responsible for updating existing
functionality. Accordingly, we do not expect to create Ultimate
Extras. "

Demonstrated a reduced rate?
Everyone will go his opinion, but the reason Microsoft is
understandable if it does not, paradoxically, the complete abandonment
of the Ultimate Extras. The reason is that a number of elements of
Windows is removed to be placed in a different cycle, such as Windows
Mail client in Vista is Windows 7.

Red Hat Makes Real-Time Linux Real

2011-06-19T08:57:00.004-07:00

Red Hat's MRG product is essentially a variant of the core Red Hat
Enterprise Linux stack. Instead of supporting bread and butter
functions for database and applications serving like Enterprise Linux,
MRG is sculpted to best carry out messaging, real-time and grid
computing workloads.

The new 1.1 version of Enterprise MRG, originally due to ship by
December 31, is intended to replace the standard generic Linux kernel
with a real-time kernel based on the config_preempt_rt patch. That
patch that was jointly created by industry heavyweights Red Hat,
Novell, IBM, Silicon Graphics along with several smaller companies.

Breaking down the constituent parts of MRG, Red Hat officials note
that the R is relevant mostly to financial services companies and
defense contractors. The M is for those products, such as IBM's
Websphere MQ, that tend to pass a lot of messages between applications
and servers.

The G in MRG, until release 1.1, has been the missing link. Red Hat
officials said it has been the case largely because its programmers
have been working overtime to integrate the Condor grid into the
Enterprise MRG product. They said that when MRG went into beta in late
2007, the Condor technology was yet to be stitched in because it had
yet to support JBoss Enterprise stack.

IBM Unveils Building Blocks for 2

2011-06-19T08:57:00.003-07:00

IBM today announced new services and products to help clients build a
new, more dynamic infrastructure that will bring more intelligence,
automation, integration, and efficiencies to the digital and physical
worlds. As a result, it will enable businesses and governments to
better respond to and manage challenges presented by today's globally
integrated planet.

The new products and services enable clients to use powerful computing
systems to manage and gain insight from an increasing number of things
in their physical infrastructure that are being instrumented with
intelligent sensors. For example, a utility could build a smart grid
to eliminate wasted power, delivering power to where it is needed
most, in real time. A smart grid also helps a utilities' customers to
monitor their energy consumption in real time and view stresses in its
electrical grid instantly to schedule pre-emptive maintenance.

Key requirements for the new dynamic infrastructure are:

The integration of digital and physical infrastructure, providing
the ability to use information technology to manage business
processes, increasingly intelligent physical infrastructure and
assets, and drive new and improved services as a result.
The ability to manage, store, and analyze the 15 new petabytes of
information the world is now generating per day-- eight-times more
information than in all US libraries combined. This will enable
clients to address massive information management requirements
associated with today's governance, compliance, availability,
retention, risk, and security challenges.
A reduction of massive inefficiencies and greater resilience in
today's interconnected world. Data centers costs, for example -- for
energy, space, etc. -- have risen eight-times since 1996; and average
distributed server utilization is just 6-15%.

OLPC to release "Open Source Hardware

2011-06-19T08:57:00.001-07:00

The XO laptops from One Laptop per Child non-profit organization has
not managed to become really popular on the market due to various
reasons, but the OLPC org wants to change that by allowing other
manufacturers of mobile computers to build and ship XO machines.

"We had to build the first laptop because no one else would do it. But
now, OLPC will release and open source hardware design and invite
others to copy it," said Nicholas Negroponte, the chief of OLPC, who
predicts that within 3 years there will be 5 to 6 million machines a
month built by companies around the world.

At present contract manufacturers of electronics make OLPC XO machines
at the order of the organization, who then sells its low-cost laptops
to customers around the world. Mr. Negroponte wants actual hardware
makers to deliver the laptops, which reduces expenses and speeds up
time-to-market of the XOs. But considering the fact that OLPC XO is
very inexpensive, for hardware manufacturers it may not be an
interesting product to sell.

According to Mr. Negroponte, approximately 500 thousand children
worldwide already own OLPC XO-1 laptops.

Current OLPC XO laptop features AMD Geode LX-700 processor with 433MHz
clock-speed and built-in graphics controller, 256MB of PC-2700 (DDR
333MHz) memory, 1GB NAND flash that substitutes hard disk drive, 7.5"
screen with 1200x900 resolution, wireless and wired network adapters
as well as integrated webcam, microphone, speakers and so on.

Nvidia Reportedly Develops x86 Central

2011-06-19T08:56:00.005-07:00

Nvidia Corp is reportedly working on its own x86 central processing
unit, a rather unexpected move considering the fact that the company
does not have license on x86 instruction set, but also a fairly
logical one now that the company has switched its chief scientist.

A news-story by The Inquirer web-site claims that "Nvidia is
definitely working on an x86 chip and the firm is heavily recruiting
x86 engineers all over Silicon Valley". Back in 2006 the designer of
graphics processing units hired numerous specialists from Stexar
company, which also designed central processing units (CPUs) and
related technologies. Additionally, back in January '08 Nvidia
replaced its chief scientist David Kirk with William Dally, who is
known for his expertise in parallel computing technologies as well as
work on Cell/Larrabee-like chips.

Since Nvidia, unlike Advanced Micro Devices or Via Technologies, does
not own a license on x86 instruction set originally developed by Intel
Corp., it cannot formally launch x86-compatible processors. However,
Nvidia may license IBM's Power architecture or even code-morphing
software developed by Transmeta. In that case Nvidia's microprocessors
will hardly be really competitive performance- and support-wise.

Theoretically, Nvidia could launch an x86 CPU without getting a
license from Intel Corp., but a legal battle with the world's largest
chipmaker would hardly end in Nvidia's favour. Moreover, considering
the fact that Nvidia will have 0% of the market from the start as well
as no infrastructure in place, and that the legal dispute would last
for a couple of years only it is hardly possible that by the end of
the litigation the company will have substantial enough market share
to justify a law suit from Intel.

Nvidia badly needs its own microprocessors in order to promote its
core-logic sets as well as platforms. Since forthcoming x86 CPUs from
AMD and Intel will have graphics processors integrated, there is
hardly a lot of space on the market for Nvidia's chipsets, hence,
creating of system-on-chip products similar to Tegra, but aimed at
personal computers, may be an option for Nvidia.

Dell First Multi-Touch Capable Tablet

2011-06-19T08:56:00.003-07:00

Latitude XT2 features better performance, enhanced security and
manageability than the previous generation
Ultra-portable, lightweight form factor that is thinner than competitors
More than 11 Hours of Battery Life1

Dell announced the Latitude XT2 convertible tablet building on the
industry's first tablet PC with multi-touch screen capabilities
designed to enhance security, increase performance and extend battery
life. The system starts at $2,399 and is available today at
www.dell.com/latitude.

Multi-touch capabilities on the Latitude XT2 allow users to use
natural gestures like a pinch or tap for scrolling, panning, rotating
and zooming that work with productivity applications they use every
day. Dell's integration of multi-touch screen technology allows
customers to use the full real estate of the display, as opposed to
just the touchpad.

"As part of our commitment to deliver the best mobility experience,
Dell revolutionized the tablet space with the first multi-touch
capable product that allows customers to use the entire screen," said
Brett McAnally, director, Dell Product Group. "Today, we're extending
that leadership with the Latitude XT2 to deliver more performance,
security and manageability."

Firefox 3.2: Ubiquity, Prism, and customization

2011-06-19T08:56:00.001-07:00

According to the magazine PC Pro, version 3.2 of the Firefox browser
loaded a field for entering commands and the possibility of a specific
window for web applications.

Orders will be effected through a merger of direct extension Ubiquity,
issue of Mozilla Labs laboratory in August, directly in the address
bar. In addition to search engine by default, is truly hand navigation
which will be at the forefront in this next version of the browser.
Ubiquity allows you to perform several actions. Thus, one can imagine
that a command like "email Jean" will open a new tab, will connect to
your Gmail account, open the dialer, the fields will automatically
fill the subject with the title of the web page viewed as well as its
formatted link in the message body. Create an event on its online
calendar, add a bookmark to Delicious ... the possibilities are
numerous. Mike Connors, developer at Mozilla told PC Pro that as many
commands scheduled for Ubiquity as extensions for Firefox!

"We are trying to determine how it is possible to integrate the
functionality of Mozilla Labs [... ] Rather than optimize [the
browser] little by little, we are actually looking to be innovative.
Sometimes it takes trying to projects in advance without knowing if it
works, "says the developer.

In addition to a merger with Ubiquity, Firefox 3.2 is expected to take
an engine to completely customize the browser interface without having
to install a particular extension. Note that Prism, a Mozilla Labs
project, will also be incorporated into Firefox 3.2 with the
possibility of SSB (Site Specific Browser).

Asked about the Chrome browser that creates a specific process for
each tab opened, Mike Connors said: "When we look at consumption for
each tab, this makes a lot of memory [... ] Remains a unique process
more efficient. "

Microsoft Enterprise Search Goes Deep

2011-06-19T08:55:00.002-07:00

Twenty years ago, enterprise search meant sifting through office
filing cabinets to try to find the desired document. Nowadays,
increased competition and a challenging economic climate require that
businesses be able to locate an electronic version of a document or
pinpoint a vital piece of business information in an instant.
Imperatives like these help explain why industry analysts forecast
continued strong demand for enterprise search solutions.

Since Microsoft completed its acquisition of enterprise search
developer FAST Search & Transfer last April, the Microsoft Office
SharePoint Server team has been working closely with colleagues at
FAST to bring together the companies' respective search technologies.
The result combines FAST's deep search expertise with the widely used
platform technology of SharePoint Server.

Today at FASTforward'09 in Las Vegas, Microsoft provided a glimpse
into the fruits of their efforts: FAST Search for SharePoint, a new
search server that will add the high-end search capabilities of FAST
ESP to SharePoint. FAST Search for SharePoint will be available with
the release of the next version of Microsoft Office. The solution will
equip businesses with high-end search capabilities that will enhance
their efficiency and boost productivity.

As a part of the road map disclosure at FASTforward'09, Microsoft also
announced ESP for SharePoint, a special offer available for SharePoint
Enterprise Client Access License customers. With ESP for SharePoint,
these customers can purchase FAST's high-end search capabilities today
with a defined licensing path to FAST Search for SharePoint when it's
released.

Microsoft testing new search service

2011-06-15T08:45:00.005-07:00

Microsoft Corp is testing a new version of its online search service
internally under the name of Kumo.com, a spokesman for the software
company said on Monday.

The service is not yet available outside the company, but may
eventually form part of Microsoft's attempt to catch up with Internet
search leaders Google Inc and Yahoo Inc.

The new service was unveiled in an internal memo sent by the head of
research at the company's online services division on Monday. It did
not provide details about the new features.

"Kumo.com exists only inside the corporate network, and in order to
get enough feedback we will be redirecting internal live.com traffic
over to the test site in the coming days," said the memo from Satya
Nadella. "Kumo is the codename we have chosen for the internal test."

The memo was first made public on The Wall Street Journal's All Things
Digital blog.

Microsoft's Nadella reckons the company can put together a better
search engine than those currently available.

"We believe we can provide a better and more useful search experience
that helps you not just search but accomplish tasks," Nadella said in
the memo. "An explorer pane on the left side of results pages will
give you access to tools that help you with your tasks."

Telefonica, other telcos to launch Linux phones

2011-06-15T08:45:00.001-07:00

HELSINKI, the one of the largest mobile operators in the world,
Telefonica, joined wireless Linux foundation LiMo on Monday and
committed with five other major operators to sell phones using its
software this year.

Vodafone, Orange, Japan's NTT DoCoMo, Korea's SK Telecom, and the top
U.S. operator Verizon Wireless will also introduce phones using LiMo
software in 2009, the operators said in a joint statement ahead of
Mobile World Congress trade show next week in Barcelona.

"With a host of operators pledging to deliver handsets in 2009, we
expect LiMo to start making real tangible progress in 2010," said
Geoff Blaber, an analyst at research firm CCS Insight.

The market for software platforms on cellphones is led by Nokia's
Symbian operating system, but it has lost much ground over the last
year to Apple Inc and Research in Motion.

Computer operating system Linux has had little success in cellphones
thus far, but its role is increasing with the LiMo platform and Google
Inc using Linux to build its Android platform.

LiMo, a non-profit foundation, hopes to benefit from its focus on
giving greater say over software development to telecoms operators.

"Android is enjoying a huge amount of momentum at the moment in terms
of operator commitment and manufacturer support," said CCS' Blaber.
"However, LiMo remains a strong longer term bet for a host of
operators that seek an independent and service neutral platform."

posted sales of 1.3 billion euros in 2008.

Through the transaction, Gigaset Communications would strengthen its
core business as the European market leader for cordless DECT phones.

"This acquisition should reinforce Sagem Communications' objective to
become a world leader in broadband terminals, convergence and digital
home solutions" said Patrick Sevian, President of Sagem
Communications. "We firmly believe that the global customer footprint
and the excellent R&D capabilities of Gigaset will significantly
enhance our positioning and the value we provide to our customers".

"The voice business is our core competence and the foundation of our
market leadership. That is why we focus on our strengths as a well
established, modern and innovative manufacturer of telephones", says
Jose Costa e Silva, CEO of Gigaset Communications. "We are delighted
that with Sagem Communications we have found a proficient and well
positioned partner in the broadband business."

The transaction is subject to the prior consultation of Sagem
Communications' Workers Council and to the approval of the relevant

Currently available in the U.S., the Ultimate Academic PCs give
students access to Microsoft software including Windows Vista
Ultimate, which offers students extensive options for music, images,
online entertainment, extended battery life, and the most advanced,
layered security protection of any Windows release yet.

By coupling this with Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007, students have
access to a comprehensive set of tools that can help them create
high-quality documents with Microsoft Office Word 2007, Microsoft
Office Excel 2007, Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 and Microsoft
Office Publisher 2007; gather and consolidate lecture notes or
research with Microsoft Office OneNote 2007; stay organized with
Microsoft Office Outlook 2007; and easily collaborate with colleagues
and professors across geographical boundaries using Microsoft Office
Groove 2007.

"The Ultimate Academic PC is ideal for students because it gives them
everything they need to be successful as soon as they take it out of
the box," said Paul Lanning, president of the Foundation for
California Community Colleges, a nonprofit organization that operates
CollegeBuys, a purchasing program that saves California Community
Colleges, students and faculty money on offerings such as the Ultimate
Academic PC. "It is great that Microsoft and Lenovo are providing this
PC which answers a previously unmet need on behalf of college
students. This demonstrates the level to which both companies are
committed to the education market."

The Ultimate Academic PC was initiated by James Ptaszynski, Ph.D.,
senior director of Worldwide Higher Education Strategy of the
Worldwide Public Sector team at Microsoft while shopping for a
computer for his college-bound son. He wanted to select a PC that —
out of the box — provided access to the best Microsoft software
pre-loaded on durable and stylish hardware at a relatively low price.

Windows 7 Build 7048 Rumor

2011-06-15T08:39:00.001-07:00

While Microsoft is currently working on finalizing the Release
Candidate of Windows 7, a new version of its forthcoming operating
system, reserved for a community of accredited testers, appeared on
the download BitTorrent networks. Stamped in 7048, this build,
according to the names of the files made available, was compiled on 19
February. For now, only the 64 bit versions of the system are shared,
but the user at the origin of the leak that he will soon line the 32
bit versions. Officially, users have instant access to that beta 1 of
the system, which corresponds to the build 7000.

Quite a few are new to the program of this new version, which did not
prevent more than 16,000 people already start the download. Among
other things, we can see a new animation in the Start menu, new icons
for applications like Paint or Calculator, an overhaul of the taskbar
to enable it to accommodate a larger number of applications, or mild
changes in Windows Media Player. The Release Candidate is expected to
make its appearance around the month of April.

Bluetooth 2.2

2011-06-15T08:38:00.005-07:00

According to the analysts over at IMS Research, the Bluetooth Special
Interest Group (SIG) is planning to release an updated Bluetooth in
mid 2009 with a promise to deliver transfer rates at higher speeds
than previous versions.

The idea of the new High Speed Bluetooth specification is to work with
WLAN or USB for improved data rates, and will be known as Bluetooth
10x and Bluetooth 100x, respectively.

For this to work, a mobile phone will need to be equipped with WLAN or
UWB radio. Hence Bluetooth 10x will be used first, since many of the
newer handsets already have WiFi capabilities built-in.
According to the SIG, Bluetooth 2.2 will enable wireless video
streaming, printing and other Wi-Fi related tasks. It will also meant
that faster speeds than that under v1.1 can be achieved.

Since we don't have any news of devices that will use this new
Bluetooth specification, we can't tell if it delivers its promises.
But once we have some compatible devices on hand, we'll try it out and
let you know.

We will be able to know more about Bluetooth 2.2 in mid 2009 when its
get launched by Bluetooth Special Interest Group. It is expected that
Bluetooth 10x devices will be released first followed by Bluetooth
100x, which if used along with Ultra Wide Broadband radio, may be able
to give 480mbps of data transfer speed.

For this to work, a mobile phone will need to be equipped with WLAN or
UWB radio. Hence Bluetooth 10x will be used first, since many of the
newer handsets already have WiFi capabilities built-in.The way I see
it, smartphones should stand first in the line for any upgrades,
although some of the modern WiFi-enabled feature phones could also see
such an update.

Bluetooth 10x is expected to give better performance in Wi-Fi devices
and this will be pretty useful especially in portable media players.
The new iPod Touch 2G has a Bluetooth chip embedded in it but it has
not yet been activated. Once the final specifications are released, we
can expect Apple to release the update to enable Bluetooth 2.2
services.

Kingston first to release Advanced Memory

2011-06-15T08:37:00.003-07:00

Although netbook computers are not even close in terms of performance
to mainstream notebooks, they are quite popular on the market. Despite
of the fact that those machines are hardly meant to perform, some
companies believe that the upgrade market for netbooks is about to
establish itself. Kingston seems to be among the first who believe in
upgrades for netbooks as it announced advanced 2GB memory module for
such systems.

Kingston HyperX PC2-4200 SO-DIMM memory module with 2GB capacity can
operate at 533MHz with CL3 3-3-8 latency settings and standard
voltage. The module is aimed at netbooks featuring Intel Atom
processor as well as Intel 945 GSE core-logic that does not support
DDR2 memory with higher than 533MHz clock-speed.

Unlike many upgrades, Kingston's is not too expensive and the module
costs just $35, which should not be considered high even given the
price of a netbook. The question is whether applications typically run
on ultra low-cost personal computers demand 2GB of memory and take
advantage of them.

New Specialized Intel Atom Processor Targets

2011-06-15T08:37:00.001-07:00

Advancing innovation around the Intel Atom processor with a goal to
target additional market segments, Intel Corporation today announced
four unique versions of processors and two new system controller hub
additions to the company's "embedded" business division product
line-up. The new products for the Intel Atom processor Z5xx series
include industrial-temperature options, as well as different
package-size choices better suited for in-car infotainment devices,
media phones, eco-technologies and other industrial-strength
applications.

The low-power Intel Atom processor is behind much of Intel's growth
into several new computing-related market segments, extending the
popular Intel architecture to embedded industries such as automotive
in-vehicle infotainment (IVI), industrial control and automation, and
media phones. These products also enable market segment innovation
through advancements in integrated 2-D and 3-D graphics, video
acceleration and support for multiple operating systems including
several versions of Windows and Linux.

"With the addition of these new products, we can bring the benefits of
Intel processors to new applications, devices and customers who
develop products used in unconstrained thermal environments with
low-power in mind," said Doug Davis, vice president, Digital
Enterprise Group and general manager, Embedded and Communications
Group, Intel. "Meeting the needs of embedded environments and new
market segments will play a large role in delivering the connectivity
and functionality necessary as the number of devices connecting to the
embedded Internet is expected to grow to an estimated 15 billion
devices by 2015," Davis added, citing a January report by IDC's John
Gantz titled "The Embedded Internet: Methodology and Findings."

The Intel Atom processor is the company's smallest built with the
world's smallest and most energy-efficient transistors. Intel's
30-year-old embedded computing division focuses on machines, devices
and equipment that have computing and Internet capabilities but are
not traditional PCs, laptops or servers. Intel offers an extended
7-year lifecycle for those areas that require longer product refresh
cycles such as IVI.

"Intel is well known for innovation and we're excited to see them
introducing new low-power consumption Intel Atom processors targeted
for in-vehicle systems," said Greg Baribault, director of product
management for the Automotive Business Unit at Microsoft*. "Intel Atom
processors and the Microsoft Auto software platform will provide
scalability for the new era of advanced in-vehicle solutions."

An iPhone remote for Mac Media-center

2011-06-15T08:35:00.005-07:00

"I've been impatiently waiting for the arrival of the new Mac Mini, so
I could run out and buy one to use as my living-room media center. So
on Tuesday, I did just that. (Yes, I left work and walked down to the
local Apple Store on day one, put down my credit card and left with a
Mac in a bag. Told you I was impatient.) Then I went home and attached
it to my high-definition TV. It looks great, and the Apple Remote
works well with the built-in Front Row software to display media files
on my hard drive and in my iTunes library.

But the Apple Remote only goes so far. When I wanted to watch a TV
show on Hulu, I had to break out a wireless keyboard and mouse. And
not only do I not want a keyboard and mouse floating around my living
room, but after a few minutes of mousing my wrist really began to
ache. (As a designer by trade, I use a pen and tablet as my pointing
device at work.)"

Now, there are plenty of VNC-style screen-sharing apps on the App
Store, programs that let you see any Mac's screen and control it
remotely. But my TV is plenty big enough. I didn't need to duplicate
the Mac mini's screen on my iPhone, I just needed to control the
cursor and type in a few short items.

When Air Mouse Pro is running, the top half of the iPhone's screen is
a two-button trackpad, similar to the one you'll find on any Mac
laptop. The bottom half of the screen is for other input methods you
can toggle between--there's a full iPhone-style keyboard, a set of
media controller buttons, web-browser buttons, and a configurable set
of function keys.

Microsoft on Internet Explorer 8 to remove

2011-06-15T08:34:00.001-07:00

Microsoft has taken another step to hedge its Windows bets in case the
European Commission lowers the boom on Redmond's browser-bundling
practices.

Recently it has been bolted there appeared of Windows 7, namely
Windows 7 bolted 7048. In these it sees to that Microsoft has a
listening ear for the European Commission, because Internet Explorer 8
can be removed in this version of the control system.

Users of new bolted observed that Microsoft possibly it has made to
give an option to the user to remove Internet Explorer 8 from Windows.
The executable are only removed, because the remaining data still lags
behind on the hard disk.

By means of a window in the new bolted of Windows 7, Windows Features
called, Microsoft enables users to indicate if by means of a check
mark the feature must be yes or no used. Internet Explorer 8 is
retrieve

One thinks that Microsoft its dominant position on the market abused
by installing Internet Explorer with Windows. The last time charges
against the company have been because of this question. Other
browsers, such as Firefox and opera, the dupe will become of this
action of Microsoft according to the charges. The European Commission
must pronounce still a sentence concerning this matter. There a chance
exists that the European Commission forces Microsoft the other install
browsers also at a new installation of Windows.

Intel developed Antenna for Digital TV

2011-06-15T08:33:00.001-07:00

Intel researchers have developed the world's first embedded balanced
antenna for digital TV. This patent-pending Intel innovation will
enable on-the-go users to watch digital television on their laptop
without the need for an external antenna. Eliminating the external
antenna reduces the number of items to purchase.

Google doesn't expect decline in revenue

2011-06-15T08:30:00.003-07:00

Google Inc CEO Eric Schmidt said the economic storm will affect all
forms of advertising, including the online ads that Google depends on,
but said that he doesn't expect Google to experience a decline in
revenue.

On Wednesday, when asked if the company's diversity would shield it
from the economic slowdown. Schmidt said, "We don't predict things
like that." in a 'CNBC' television interview. But, he added, "from my
perspective it's hard to imagine why you'd see a decline." Schmidt
also said Google continues to look at acquisition opportunities, but
said he wasn't sure that prices were at their lows yet, or that the
economic slowdown has reached its bottom.

Schmidt was speaking from the Wall Street Journal Eco:nomics
conference in Santa Barbara, California, where he was scheduled to
make a presentation on Wednesday evening.
The appearance comes a day after Schmidt raised eyebrows at an
investor conference by referring to privately held messaging service
Twitter as a "poor man's email system."

Asked about speculation that the comments were part of a negotiating
tactic by Google in hopes of acquiring Twitter, Schmidt said he didn't
want to speculate on buying or selling companies.

Google branches into expandable ads

2011-06-15T08:30:00.001-07:00

Google is expanding its AdSense program--literally.

The Web search giant announced Wednesday in a blog post that it is
pitching advertisers on the use of expandable ad units, those adverts
that start out as banners or square ads and launch larger ads that
cover much of the Web site's content. However, Google says that unlike
the most annoying varietal, these expandable ads won't enlarge on
their own or with a simple mouse-over; users will have to click on the
smaller ad to get the larger ad.

Many users may find expandable ads annoying, but as Google points out,
the format could be valuable to both advertisers and customers when
used to show movie trailers, video game clips, or other images that
require greater emphasis on detail.

Google said that advertisers are automatically eligible to use the
expandable ads if they have added AdSense code to their site's source
code and enabled image ads. Google also noted that the program is
currently available only to specific advertisers in the U.S. that can
bid on specific ad placement.

Google also reminded advertisers that earnings will be based on
whether they use cost-per-click ads (CPC) versus cost-per-impression
(CPM) ads, promising that CPC expandable ads will generate more
earnings when a user visits the advertiser's landing page, and not
when a user simply clicks to expand the ad. Google has created an FAQ
page with more information for advertisers.

The expandable ads aren't likely to make a Google earnings skyrocket,
but because they require user interaction to expand, they also aren't
likely to create animosity from Web users.

facelift to get facelift

2011-06-15T08:29:00.003-07:00

Facebook founder Mark Zuckenberg talked about the site's upcoming
facelift in a chat with Business Week, and the social networking site
is to become a bit more Twitter like.

Some major changes are expected for Facebook pages, which will look a
lot more like profile from now on, and will update more frequently to
draw a bigger crowd. So pages and profiles are to become almost
identical.

The Twitter-esque bit of the revamp is the Stream, or news feed on
steroids, which will allow for more customization and filtering
options. The new feed will be more real time based, and will not
refresh periodically like the current one. Also, it should be a lot
easier to eliminate spam.

The facelift should go live on March 11.

Array of application possibilities comes from "Raider's" capacity to
support five different expansion buses, a range of I/O, and numerous
video/audio options. Adding to the system's versatility is its
super-small envelope (single drive is 4.6 x 4.6 x 1.6 inches, weighing
only 2 lbs.) and low power requirements (as low as 15 watts total).

"Raider" supports up to six wireless radios on four to six antennae
feeds. This built-in functionality enables simultaneous monitoring and
tracking of phone, wireless, CDMA, TDMA, WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth or
others. Other key features are Dual GigE with TCP/IP offloading
engine, high-performance video, Dual Com ports with 232/422, four USB
ports, full audio for VOIP applications, full BIT and EBIT testing,

non-readable, 64-bit authentication keys and four sets of
non-readable, 64-bit session encryption keys providing a low-cost,
truly secure means of preventing product counterfeiting and/or piracy.

Nikon Introduces New EDG Fieldscope Series

2011-06-15T08:28:00.003-07:00

Nikon Vision Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Nikon Corporation, is pleased
to introduce the EDG Fieldscope series, a new Nikon Sport Optics
brand.

EDG is pronounced "edge" because the series provides edge-to-edge
brilliance and overall leading-edge performance. The optical and
mechanical results of the current fieldscope series, which has won
plaudits from users around the world, have been enhanced for the new
EDG series. The outstanding performance of EDG Fieldscopes, including
natural color reproduction and crisp clarity, has been achieved
through the use of Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass. The straight-type

and long eye relief (18.4-16.5mm).

IBM Unveils New Database Software to Help

2011-06-15T08:28:00.001-07:00

IBM today unveiled new database software to help companies make
decisions more intelligently and maximize sales opportunities while
reducing expenses.

With new Informix database software, global companies, for the first
time, can both warehouse their data and conduct ultra fast online
transactions with a simplified software platform. The combination of
the two capabilities in one offering can help deliver new results and
insights to grow businesses and lower costs by making it easier to use
existing Informix infrastructure to help clients work as much as 50%
more efficiently.

To effectively compete in today's challenging global economy,
companies are now recognizing the need to use information more
effectively. Right now, 85% of CIOs do not believe their information
is currently well managed and shared across the entire business. In
addition, most companies lack a cohesive strategy to get the most
value from their information.

"On a daily basis, our organization needs to extract patient data to
track outstanding claims that are long overdue. It used to take us
months to collect information that we are now able to retrieve in a
matter of minutes," said Dan Contaldi, vice president, Information
Technology, Women's Health. "Now, this technology allows more time for
our central billing staff to focus on the business rather than
spending hours sifting through the maze of outstanding claims. We see
the addition of the Informix warehousing capabilities providing a
complete and cost efficient solution."

Konkan Railways in India uses this technology for its "Railway
Application Package" system to help analyze and maintain train
schedules to reduce the likelihood of passenger delays. Not only does
this help the railway operate more efficiently, but it has also seen
significant energy savings. By automating the light-switching at
stations as trains arrive and depart, the system has helped the
railway cut energy costs by approximately 20%.

IMPIRE AG, Germany's largest provider of premium sporting content for
live sporting event broadcasts, uses Informix software. IMPIRE is able
to bring the most up-to-date sports replays and analysis across
television, print, web and mobile services. The new warehouse
capabilities will make it even easier for IMPIRE to build on its
Informix foundation to continue to meet the demand of sports fans who
want sports scores instantaneously.

operators to pass on the burden of ensuring high quality international
calls to another telecom operator.

"We chose to work with Tata Communications because of their extensive
network backbone and experience, which was well positioned to fully
manage and support issues our company was facing as a start-up
operator," Play Carrier Relations director Piotr Kuriata said in a
joint statement.

Microsoft and TomTom Settle Patent Infringement Cases

2011-06-11T06:09:00.005-07:00

Microsoft Corp. and TomTom N.V. today announced that they have settled the patent infringement cases brought by Microsoft before the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington and the International Trade Commission (ITC) and by TomTom in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.

The cases have been settled through a patent agreement under which TomTom will pay Microsoft for coverage under the eight car navigation and file management systems patents in the Microsoft case. Also as part of the agreement, Microsoft receives coverage under the four patents included in the TomTom countersuit. The agreement, which has a five-year term, does not require any payment by Microsoft to TomTom. It covers both past and future U.S. sales of the relevant products. The specific financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

The agreement includes patent coverage for Microsoft's three file management systems patents provided in a manner that is fully compliant with TomTom's obligations under the General Public License Version 2 (GPLv2). TomTom will remove from its products the functionality related to two file management system patents (the "FAT LFN patents"), which enables efficient naming, organizing, storing and accessing of file data. TomTom will remove this functionality within two years, and the agreement provides for coverage directly to TomTom's end customers under these patents during that time.

Horacio Gutierrez, corporate vice president and deputy general counsel of Intellectual Property and Licensing, Microsoft Corporation, stated:

"We are pleased TomTom has chosen to resolve the litigation amicably by entering into a patent agreement. Our car navigation patents, which are at the heart of the enhanced auto experience enjoyed by millions of drivers today, have been licensed to many companies, including leaders in the car navigation sector. The file management system patents, which increase file management system efficiency and functionality, have also been licensed by many companies, including those that produce mixed source products.

We were able to work with TomTom to develop a patent agreement that addresses their needs and ours in a pragmatic way. When addressing IP infringement issues, there are two possible paths: securing patent coverage or not using the technology at issue. Through this agreement, TomTom is choosing a combination of both paths to meet the unique needs of its business, and we are glad to help them do so."

NVIDIA partners may launch GeForce

NVIDIA has been paying close attention to every move of its tough competitor AMD Radeon HD 4890. GeForce GTX275 won't be available until April 13th according to our previous information. And later AMD brought Radeon HD 4890 launch forward to April 2nd. Of course NVIDIA never wants to be left behind, so they also accelerates the release of GeForce GTX 275.

ATI actually preparing a new high-end graphics cards, the Radeon HD 4890, which NVIDIA is suspected to answer a direct competition, the GeForce GTX 275. Thus, qu'AMD advanced the date of commercialization of its new model in April 2, NVIDIA would in turn launch its graphics card on that date.

AMD nevertheless keeps a step ahead, the technical characteristics of the Radeon HD 4890 is precisely known, and many merchants already offering the pre-order. There is talk, however, the GeForce GTX 275 for a compromise between the GeForce GTX 260 and GTX 280 are traded again, at the same price as its direct competitor.

NVIDIA quickly realized that it would need a new card to counter AMD's coming Radeon HD 4890. AMD looked to target the performance space between GeForce GTX 260 and GTX 285 so NVIDIA presented a design proposal to partners, GeForce GTX 275. There won't be any reference cards of GTX 275 as far as we've been told, but instead graphics card manufacturers get to license the chip and make their own GeForce GTX 275 cards.

Google Launches Free, Legal Music

2011-06-11T06:08:00.005-07:00

Google on Monday launched free downloads of licensed songs in China, while sharing advertising revenue with major music labels in a market rife with online piracy.

Lee Kai-Fu, president of Google in greater China, said one reason Google lagged in the mainland search market was because it did not offer music downloads, the missing piece to its strategy in a market where it trails leader Baidu.com.

"We are offering free, high quality and legal downloads," Lee told reporters. "We were missing one piece ... we didn't have music."

The service offers downloads of some 350,000 songs — from Chinese and foreign artists — a number that will rise to 1.1 million in the coming months, said Gary Chen, chief executive of Google's partner www.Top100.cn, a Chinese music website co-founded by basketball star Yao Ming.

Music from artists signed by Sony Music, Warner Music, EMI and Universal Music will be available on the service, which Google has no current plans to expand beyond China, said Lee.

"This is the first serious attempt to start (monetizing) the online market in China. I can't overestimate how important this is," said Lachie Rutherford, president of Warner Music Asia Pacific and Asia chairman of the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI).

Users will be able to search by musical measurements such as the level of "beat" in a song and "instrumentality," as well as by artist and song name.

Microsoft to shut Encarta

2011-06-11T06:08:00.003-07:00

Microsoft Corp. has, on Tuesday, announced its plans to shut its online encyclopedia, Encarta, the largest competitor of the communally-crafted free Internet online encyclopedia Wikipedia. The software giant's online encyclopedia would be closed on October 31. Microsoft will stop selling the software products by June this year. One exception is the Encarta Japan Web site, which will stay live until the last day of this year.

People who have paid for a subscription to MSN Encarta Premium, which offers them access to more information, will get a refund for fees paid beyond April 30, although they'll continue to be able to access the site until it shuts down in October. Microsoft will continue to offer technical support for the software products for three years. The software giant has discontinued a couple of other products recently. Late last year it announced it would stop selling OneCare, its consumer antivirus product. It also killed off a mobile browser research product last year.

In a message posted on the MSN Encarta Web site, Microsoft says, "Encarta has been a popular product around the world for many years. However, the category of traditional encyclopedias and reference material has changed. People today seek and consume information in considerably different ways than in years past."

Online, Microsoft offered a limited selection of professionally edited content for free and a larger selection for a subscription. But the offerings paled when compared to those at sites that could use the work of thousands of contributors. Wikipedia, for instance, offers 2.7 million articles in English. Google's Knol, which like Wikipedia depends on user-generated content, has more than 100,000. Encarta has 42,000 entries. Encarta did try to adapt, inviting users to submit suggestions for changes to articles, but those suggestions first had to be checked by a member of the Encarta staff. And Encarta did not allow users to submit new entries.

Yet Encarta itself began to lose ground among users with the rise of Internet search engines like Google that became capable of quickly connecting users to a seemingly infinite array of free online information resources. Among those resources is Wikipedia, a repository of more than 10 million reference articles produced by volunteers in over 260 languages, including more than 75,000 active contributors.

A spokesman for Microsoft declined to comment on whether Wikipedia contributed to Microsoft's decision to shut down Encarta. The spokesman said the move was "one piece of a broader strategy to continue to evolve our product offerings to address the next wave of people's search and research needs."

Gmail Email Now Available In Most Indian

2011-06-11T06:08:00.001-07:00

For those of you who prefer to communicate in Hindi but did not have an easy way to type and send e-mail in your language of choice, Gmail has something to offer you. Google has launched a new feature in Gmail that makes it easy to type e-mail in Indian languages.

When you compose a new mail in Gmail, you should now see an icon with an Indian character. This feature is enabled by default for Gmail users in India. If you do not see this function enabled by default, you will need to go the "Settings" page and enable this option in the "Language" section.

Once you click the Indian languages icon, you can type words the way they sound in English and Gmail will automatically convert the word to its Indian local language equivalent. For example, if a Hindi speaker types "namaste", it will get transliterated to its phonetically equivalent Hindi text.

Gmail currently supports five Indian languages -- Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam. So you can select the language of your choice from the drop-down list next to the icon.

According to Chandramouli Mahadevan, software engineer, Google, "We built this new feature using Google's transliteration technology, which is also available on Google India Labs, Orkut, Blogger and iGoogle. I hope you find this feature useful to communicate with those of your friends and family who prefer to write in their native language, and it will be available soon to businesses and schools using Google Apps. Now back to replying to all those Hindi e-mails I got from my family and friends today!"

Google's Gmail service will celebrate its fifth birthday tomorrow. Gmail, known as Google Mail in Germany, Austria and the United Kingdom, was made available to the public by Google on 1 April 2004, after extensive rumours of its existence during testing. Five years after its launch, Gmail now offers over 7GB of storage but is still labelled as a beta version.

IBM and Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering

2011-06-11T06:07:00.003-07:00

IBM and a group of leading utilities -- the Global Intelligent Utility Network Coalition -- today announced that they handed over stewardship of their Smart Grid Maturity Model to the Carnegie Mellon(R) Software Engineering Institute (SEI). As progressive utilities around the globe modernize power grids with digital technology, executives want to know that making the grid smarter is the right thing to do and they want to know how to do it.

The electric grid is the largest and most complex machine in the world and in places it is now critically overburdened. Impacts of climate change, available technology, and the current economic crisis represent the final tipping point for a much needed overhaul. The Smart Grid Maturity Model will serve as a strategic framework for utilities, vendors, regulators, and consumers that have a role in smart grid transformation -- from technological to regulatory to organizational.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, if the North American grid were just 5% more efficient, the energy savings would equate to eliminating the fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from 53 million cars -- one of the reasons that the DoE is supporting this effort through its Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability and the National Energy Technology Laboratory. Support of the Smart Grid Maturity Model by DoE enables it to be accessible to all stakeholders of the electric power industry.

"The software development industry is a prime example of how maturity models have moved entire industries forward," said Guido Bartels, General Manager, Global Energy & Utilities Industry at IBM. "We selected SEI because of its demonstrated success in providing frameworks that enhance business and technical processes, security, resiliency and interoperability -- all critical elements in responding to opportunities driving the sustainable supply and use of energy essential today."

Part of the global research university Carnegie Mellon, the SEI operates at the leading edge of technical innovation. It serves as a national and international resource for architecture, network security, process improvement, and systems integration. The SEI has developed worldwide de facto standards, like the Capability Maturity Model® Integration (CMMI) and led international efforts to improve network security through its world-recognized CERT program.

The Common Power Slot design – helps minimize power waste by allowing customers to choose from four power supplies to match their specific workload. Customers can achieve more than 92 percent energy efficiency in the majority of real-world configurations.
HP Dynamic Power Capping – reallocates power and cooling resources in the data center by dynamically setting or "capping" the power drawn by servers. By precisely identifying power requirements for each server and setting a limit based on that usage, customers can reclaim overprovisioned energy to improve data center capacity.

Security tool to detect Conficker worm

2011-06-11T06:06:00.007-07:00

The US Department of Homeland Security released a tool on Monday to detect whether a computer is infected by the Conficker worm.
The department, in a statement, said the detection tool for the Conficker worm, also known as DownAdUP, had been developed by the US Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT).

"While tools have existed for individual users, this is the only free tool -- and the most comprehensive one -- available for enterprises like federal and state government and private sector networks to determine the extent to which their systems are infected by this worm," said US-CERT director Mischel Kwon.

"Our experts at US-CERT are working around the clock to increase our capabilities to address the cyber risk to our nation's critical networks and systems, both from this threat and all others," he added.

The worm is suspected to have infected million of computers running the Windows operating system and Windows maker Microsoft has offered a 250,000 dollar bounty for those responsible for the worm.

US-CERT recommended that Windows users apply Microsoft security patch MS08-067 to help provide protection against the worm.

The patch is designed to prevent an attacker from remotely taking control of an infected computer system and installing additional malicious software.

Malware could be triggered to steal data, generate spam attacks or turn control of infected computers over to hackers amassing "zombie" machines into "botnet" armies.

The worm is programmed to modify itself on Wednesday, April Fool's Day, according to computer security specialists.

Conficker had been programmed to reach out to 250 websites daily to download commands from its masters, they said, but on Wednesday it will begin connecting with 50,000 websites daily for instructions.

Dorado Software Announces Advanced

2011-06-11T06:06:00.003-07:00

Dorado Software, a leading provider of IT infrastructure management software, today announced the availability of the Redcell 6.1 Advanced RTCP Monitor for Avaya Communication Manager allowing Redcell to monitor Voice over IP (VoIP) performance across Avaya Communication Manager networks. Dorado Software is the developer of Redcell, a product suite that provides uniform access, configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting of multi-vendor IT infrastructure assets, including storage, systems, security and networking devices and services. As a result, companies can simplify troubleshooting and reporting, and proactively monitor their converged VoIP services for increased reliability.

"Redcell's Avaya RTCP Monitor gives us a view into our VoIP infrastructure," said Rhett Barker, Enterprise Account Manager, Quagga. "Combined with Redcell's other advanced monitoring tools and event management, we get a true view of how our VoIP infrastructure is running and can take corrective action to resolve any issues even before they become issues."

Redcell Advanced RTCP Monitor is an essential tool in the management, monitoring and fault isolation of Avaya Communication Manager networks, including monitoring performance and publishing notifications when the quality of an RTCP session crosses marginal or bad quality thresholds, as configured in an RTCP Domain. Correlations make these notifications generate a warning alarm when a session parameter first crosses the marginal threshold, and a critical alarm when the quality crosses the bad threshold.

This Redcell Advanced Monitor uses RTCP domain profiles to specify the Avaya Communication Manager servers that RTCP data is collected from. Each RTCP domain utilizes its own threshold parameters for Jitter, Latency, and Packet Loss allowing settings for both a warning and error level for each threshold parameter. The RTCP domain also allows for the creation of separate domains that can be assigned to Avaya Communication Manager Local Survivable Processors (LSPs), and Enterprise Survivable Servers (ESSs). This is essential as it allows Redcell RTCP to continue monitoring VoIP performance when an LSP and/or a ESS becomes active on the network taking control over VoIP call traffic.

Microsoft rolls out Windows7 Based Embedded

2011-06-11T06:06:00.001-07:00

Microsoft has just unveiled details of their new Windows ® Server 2008 for Embedded Server which is basically a windows server platform for embedded devices. The platform is available under Microsoft's Software-Plus-Services banner which as the name suggests is a combination of software and web based services.

Microsoft is not only hard at work laboring to produce the first Release Candidate of Windows 7, but it is also looking beyond the next iterations of the Windows client and server operating systems. The next version of Windows Embedded Server would be based on the Windows 7 platform, the Redmond company informed. In all fairness, Windows Embedded Server was a variant of Windows Server 2008 R2, Microsoft revealed, claiming that the new offering was positioned to take the Windows Embedded software-plus-services platform to the next level. The Embedded Systems Conference (ESC) Silicon Valley 2009 was the stage where Microsoft demonstrated the next stage of its Windows Embedded S+S platform on March 30, 2009.

The company hopes that the offering will lead original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to design a new class of server which can be used in embedded environments to supplement and control traditional embedded software systems. The offering could also allow OEMs and IT support staff to better manage and repair embedded devices remotely through web-based support systems, according to Microsoft.

"The evolution of the Windows Embedded software-plus-services platform with the addition of Windows Embedded Server reflects the realization of Microsoft's continued commitment to drive innovation and leadership in the embedded market by fostering the next generation of smart, connected, service-oriented devices and device services," revealed Kevin Dallas, general manager of the Windows Embedded business unit at Microsoft.

Stw5211 Mobile Audio Chip From Ericsson

2011-06-11T06:05:00.003-07:00

ST-Ericsson, the recent joint venture between STMicroelectronics and Ericsson, has announced its next-generation STw5211 mobile audio chip.The new Stw5211 includes the innovative Playback Time Extender (PTE) processing technology developed by the company, as well as 102dB signal-to-noise ratio across the entire audio path. OEMs are offered the possibility to develop music-oriented mobile phones that would be able to provide users with the "highest levels of audio quality."

STw5211 combines ST-Ericsson's innovative Playback Time Extender (PTE) processing technology with 102dB signal-to-noise ratio through the whole audio path, allowing OEMs to build music phones with the highest levels of audio quality and double today's typical 10-hour playback time. Available as a single-chip solution in an ultra-small, wafer-level chip scale package (WLCSP), STw5211 is the market's most integrated and cost-effective audio solution to boost playback time.

The new mobile audio chip is also able to provide extended playback time, doubling today's existing typical 10-hour period. The Stw5211 is available as a single-chip solution that sports an ultra-small, wafer-level chip scale package, proving to be the most integrated and cost-effective audio solution on the market.

"STw5211 was developed to address increasing demand for mobile music handsets with both higher audio quality and longer playback time," said Monica de Virgiliis, Vice President, Wireless Multimedia Group, ST-Ericsson. "Typically, power consumption increases as features are enhanced and quality improved; however, STw5211 with PTE technology allows music to be played autonomously while the rest of the platform is switched into a power-saving state. This results in a substantial increase in battery life without any compromise in audio quality for the consumer."

Ericsson Demo HSPA world record to 56Mbps

2011-06-11T06:05:00.001-07:00

Ericsson continues to increase HSPA speeds for an even better user experience and sustainable development of mobile broadband. Higher data rates give users an instantaneous connection. A click on a web link brings up the corresponding page immediately, even when many users are online at the same time.

Ericsson will break its own HSPA world record with the world's first demonstration of HSPA multi-carrier MIMO technology, providing peak downlink data rates of 56Mbps, at the CTIA Wireless exhibition, April 1-3 in Las Vegas, USA. This is another step for HSPA Evolution, further enhancing the mobile broadband experience.

The increase in speed is achieved thanks to a combination of multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) and multi-carrier HSPA technology. MIMO allows for higher peak data rates and increased spectral efficiency, which provides higher network capacity.

The demonstration will be carried out with a concept-design version of an Ericsson HSPA-enabled mobile-broadband router. This consumer device can be used anywhere broadband access is needed, sharing a mobile-broadband connection between multiple consumers and providing efficient use of the high-speed broadband connection.

HSPA multi-carrier technology with MIMO, which is currently being standardized, is scheduled for commercial deployment in 2010. By the end of 2009, Ericsson will support commercial deployment of multi-carrier technology with speeds up to 42Mbps - an achievement successfully demonstrated at the recent Mobile World Conference in Barcelona.

Ulf Ewaldsson, Vice President and Head of Product Area Radio at Ericsson, says: "Ericsson's continued HSPA Evolution leadership enables higher data rates, increased network capacity and low network costs. This record-breaking demonstration combining MIMO and multi-carrier technology shows the strong potential of further HSPA enhancements. Operators that have chosen Ericsson's network equipment are in a unique position to offer the most attractive mobile-broadband servi

HP exploring to use Android OS.

2011-06-11T06:04:00.005-07:00

Leading US computer maker Hewlett-Packard said Tuesday it is studying the possibility of building machines based on Google-backed Android operating systems.

Google's open source operating software only recently debuted in mobile telephones with Internet capabilities.

"We are the world's leading computer company and it is only natural for us to want to understand its applications for our competitors' products or ours," HP spokeswoman Marlene Somsak said of research into Android.

"Regarding how or when HP might introduce any Android-enabled platforms, we decline to talk about products that may be underway."

An Open Handset Alliance of technology firms backing "Google phones" based on Android platforms has been steadily gaining members.

Recent inductees include British mobile network giant Vodaphone; Japanese electronics titan Toshiba Corp., and Sony Ericsson, a joint venture involving Japan-based Sony and Sweden-based Ericsson.

Alliance recruits will make Android-based mobile telephones, lend programming expertise to the Android source code project, or offer products or services for the handheld devices.

The handset alliance was established in 2007 by Google and 33 other firms, among them Intel, HTC, China Mobile, Motorola, Qualcomm, T-Mobile, Telefonica, LG, and eBay.

US telecom operator T-Mobile began selling the first Android-based Google phone, dubbed "G1," last year.

News that HP is exploring ways to put Android to work in computers is the first hint that the operating system may be shaping up as a contender in a market long-dominated by Windows software made by Google's rival Microsoft.

Approximately nine of every 10 computers in the world run on Windows operating systems.
