And I have been so fed up with this dosa that I had almost pledge not to have dosa ever until I found 99 variety dosa in the streets of Koramangla. It was fusion of Italian, mumbai and God knows what not. There were 99 dosas that were combination of all ingredients on Earth. There was butter, baby corn, mysore masala, pav bhaji, peas, cheese, schezwan sauce etc. It is a replica of prantha waali gali in Chandni chowk.

And if&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;that&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-style-span&quot;&gt;doesn&#39;t make you angry, only six percent of rapists will serve one day in jail.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-style-span&quot;&gt;According to a United Nations report, one in three women-- 33% of our sisters-- around the world &quot;has been beaten, coerced into sex or abused in some way, most often by someone she knows.&quot; Ladies (and friends of ladies), if you thought that the feminist struggle was just about bra-burning and refusing to shave, if you thought that the feminist movement was more or less over and done with, if you thought that feminism was all about man hating and protesting maleness, what do you think now? When a depressingly large amount of our sisters&lt;i&gt;still suffer&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-style-span&quot;&gt;in the world? When Saudi Arabian women are denied the right to drive, or to leave their homes without a male escort? When a woman can be stoned to death simply for making eye contact with a man?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-style-span&quot;&gt;So I want to ask those of you who answered the question at the begining of this article as &quot;no.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-style-span&quot;&gt;Do you still not consider yourself a feminist?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&quot;It is very easy to hate a Nazi, a guardian in a Gulag. But the real danger is not them. It is the decent people who compromise with evil.&quot;&lt;/b&gt;-- Jacobo Timerman.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://barleen.blogspot.com/feeds/4357182520922782834/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://barleen.blogspot.com/2011/07/writes-and-challenges-for-women-in.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/306361011637050109/posts/default/4357182520922782834'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/306361011637050109/posts/default/4357182520922782834'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://barleen.blogspot.com/2011/07/writes-and-challenges-for-women-in.html' title='Writes and challenges for women in the society!!!!'/><author><name>Barleen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15161759279050867095</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdjBRhQxcvFxxQLV9tagCE8V-Q82ePavvEOi75sygPcRASdHgXHg6MYOP02_8sNlu33i9bBSefQ1ucG8dARpolIIbyxHPG_YYim-J8X7wnSEAuawHLh3mO5S1GB8c3TQ/s220/IMG00261-20100606-1224.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIE2ZLxtT4CItx2MBf4k7q5nqHtIugK3PC3Y9bSBlYiJO5MPcbasfMI3OkGqcwq1PYwiqBpMZGJs8rc1f9ipSb8eS6X3azxZHuy9nRYww90wKmaGMBTb7sv3heh56nQj2xA0sLh4Qihq4/s72-c/gender-equality.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-306361011637050109.post-2280955478129602940</id><published>2011-05-14T10:57:00.002-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-14T11:30:34.342-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight:normal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;Barleen kaur&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight:normal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;6 feb 2011&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; align=&quot;center&quot; style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;Marriage versus living together&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;Ever&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun:yes&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;since&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun:yes&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Adam&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun:yes&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;and&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun:yes&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Eve&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun:yes&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;took&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun:yes&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;the&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun:yes&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;stage&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun:yes&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;for&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun:yes&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;life .

mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;color:#333333&quot;&gt;And I stand here to discuss this ever debatable talk….&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-line-height-alt: 8.4pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;color:#333333&quot;&gt;One of the important problems of all times is the generation gap. Adult’s mentality is different from teenager’s. They are the children of two epochs with different views on various subjects. Because of this parents and children sometimes argue with each other.&lt;br /&gt;     Some people believe that teenagers today are generally rude, lazy and ill-behaved. Other people, however, think that teenagers are not so bad.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;color:#333333&quot;&gt;The disparity in views, outlooks, lifestyle, values and perception of parents or the older generation on the other, results in the generation gap. The youngster lot wants to stay out for late night parties and believe in the philosophy of leading a merry life. They want to keep in tune with the overhanging world of fashion and believe in dressing up in the latest outfits. Some of these trendy cloths outrage the modesty of parents. The taste in music as well as lifestyle also differs vastly from the older to younger generation. The old age tradition values of respect for elders and love and attention for youngsters are being eroded and slogans like free expressions are being put forth by the younger generation. From a myth, generation gap is becoming reality.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-line-height-alt: 8.4pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;color:#333333&quot;&gt;      Some people don’t want to understand modern views, ideals and system of values. They say that teenagers are cruel, brutal, heartless and rude. Yes, today new generation “plays” with smoking, drugs and alcohol, but this doesn’t mean that all teens are really bad!&lt;br /&gt;     On the other hand, today many elderly people look at the world with new&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;color:#333333&quot;&gt;eyes. Moreover, they try to understand teenagers’ problems and solve them.&lt;br /&gt;    In most cases “new generation” doesn’t understand their parents and becomes depressed because of this. To protest against it, teens can shock people around them. That’s why it is considered that teens today are lazy and ill-behaved. Elderly people usually compare their childhood and youth with present, they are always talking about “the good old days”.&lt;br /&gt;     People are said to become wiser with age. Sometimes it is true and sometimes it is not. I think that you can meet a wise man among the old as often as among the young. It is wrong that when wisdom always comes in old age. Sometimes when we talk to adults, they listen only to their own point of view.

They will definitely have the 3G version of iPhone, but with the new iPhone 5 (4g speeds) coming out, will they compete?! Regardless, there is much anticipation on how many people will leave AT&amp;amp;T for Verizon Wireless because of AT&amp;amp;T&#39;s lagging on app restrictions like Slingplayer and Google Voice and Skype (on 4g network, not Wi-Fi).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; &quot;&gt;AT&amp;amp;T&#39;s restrictions have caused the percentage of people that are JailBreaking their iPhones to rise since Jail Breaking usually comes with Cydia which is the app store for jail broken phones. Most of the applications, ringtones, and even iphone themes!...are free with Cydia. Winterboard is part of the download, and it very easily add&#39;s the changes to your phone so you dont have to figure how to do it on your own...it is VERY automated.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; &quot;&gt;The Palm Pre on Sprint and HTC EVO (Sprint now offering a 4G network) has made an attempt at being competitive with iPhone and Blackberry...and it seems they are making head way, although with the iPhone 4 released and the iPhone 5 on the way, they are sure to lose.

A tiny magnet, only a size of a grain of rice, is attached to an individual&#39;s tongue using implantation, piercing or adhesive. This technology allows a disabled person to&lt;strong&gt; use tongue when moving a computer mouse or a powered wheelchair&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Scientists chose the tongue to control the system because unlike the feet and the hands, which are connected by brain through spinal cord, the tongue and the brain has a direct connection through cranial nerve. In case when a person has a severe spinal cord injure or other damage, the tongue will remain mobile to activate the system. &lt;em&gt;&quot;Tongue movements are also fast, accurate and do not require much thinking, concentration or effort.&quot;&lt;/em&gt; said Maysam Ghovanloo, an assistant professor in the Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The motions of the magnet attached to the tongue are spotted by a number of magnetic field sensors installed on a headset worn outside or an orthodontic brace inside the mouth. &lt;strong&gt;The signals coming from the sensors are wirelessly sent to a portable computer&lt;/strong&gt; that placed on a wheelchair or attached to an individual&#39;s clothing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Tongue system is developed to recognize a wide array of tongue movements and to apply specific movements to certain commands, taking into account user&#39;s oral anatomy, abilities and lifestyle.&lt;em&gt;&quot;The ability to train our system with as many commands as an individual can comfortably remember is a significant advantage over the common sip-n-puff device that acts as a simple switch controlled by sucking or blowing through a straw,&quot;&lt;/em&gt; said Ghovanloo.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Tongue Drive system is &lt;strong&gt;touch-free, wireless and non-invasive technology&lt;/strong&gt; that needs no surgery for its operation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;During the trials of the system, six able-bodied participants were trained to use tongue commands to control the computer mouse. The individuals repeated several motions left, right, up and down, single- and double-click to perform computer mouse tasks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The results of the trials showed &lt;strong&gt;100 percent of commands were accurate&lt;/strong&gt; with the response time less than one second, which equals to an information transfer rate of approximately 150 bits per minute.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Scientists also plan to test the ability of the system to operate by people with severe disabilities. The next step of the research is to &lt;strong&gt;develop software to connect the Tongue Drive system to great number of devices&lt;/strong&gt; such as text generators, speech synthesizers and readers. Also the researchers plan to upgrade the system by introducing the standby mode to allow the individual to eat, sleep or talk, while prolonging the battery life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://barleen.blogspot.com/feeds/7437587543433908437/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://barleen.blogspot.com/2010/12/tongue-will-control-now.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/306361011637050109/posts/default/7437587543433908437'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/306361011637050109/posts/default/7437587543433908437'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://barleen.blogspot.com/2010/12/tongue-will-control-now.html' title='TONGUE WILL CONTROL NOW!!!!!!!!'/><author><name>Barleen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15161759279050867095</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdjBRhQxcvFxxQLV9tagCE8V-Q82ePavvEOi75sygPcRASdHgXHg6MYOP02_8sNlu33i9bBSefQ1ucG8dARpolIIbyxHPG_YYim-J8X7wnSEAuawHLh3mO5S1GB8c3TQ/s220/IMG00261-20100606-1224.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-306361011637050109.post-5473240324634870126</id><published>2010-12-09T10:47:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-12-09T10:57:52.207-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;p style=&quot;margin-top:4.8pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt;margin-left: 0in;mso-line-height-alt:18.0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 24pt; font-family: &#39;Bookman Old Style&#39;, serif; &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; &gt;MeeGo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;margin-top:4.8pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt;margin-left: 0in;line-height:18.0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 9pt; &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; &gt;View of the MeeGo windows&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;margin-top:4.8pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt;margin-left: 0in;line-height:18.0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14pt; &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; &gt;Introduction to MeeGo&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;margin-top:4.8pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt;margin-left: 0in;line-height:18.0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; &gt;MeeGo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; &gt;is a&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Linux-based&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;open source&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;mobile operating system&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;project&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;which was announced at&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Mobile world Congress&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;in February 2010 by Intel&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;and&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Nokia&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;in a joint press conference.

Rumors are that the MeeGo devices vice president Ari Jaaksi had left the company a week ago. No reason was given for his departure but it was said that the company’s plans related to having a MeeGo device ready to ship by the end of this year would not be affected. Nokia’s only self-made device known to be in works now is the N9.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-line-height-alt:10.85pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; &gt;An updated MeeGo was promised before the end of 2010. This statement however does not necessarily mean that the device would be shipping, but could simply mean the company would show the platform’s latest state or commit to a 2011 timeframe.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-line-height-alt:10.85pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-line-height-alt:10.85pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; &gt;The conservatism towards smart phones caused most of Nokia’s recent problems in the phone arena. By adopting touch screens only on the past year, Nokia has faced a lot of problems such as frustrated developers, content only recently unified in the Ovi Store and, last but not least, modern Smartphone features missing, such as fast processors and capacitive multi-touch screens. By systematically neglecting the US market, Nokia has lost a lot of opportunities, but this could change with the recently unveiled N8 for AT&amp;amp;T.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-line-height-alt:10.85pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-line-height-alt:10.85pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; &gt;MeeGo is Nokia’s joint development with Intel and is intended to modernize the high-end Nseries of Nokia phones by equipping &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-line-height-alt:10.85pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-line-height-alt:10.85pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; &gt;them with modern multi-touch interfaces and high levels of multitasking.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-line-height-alt:10.85pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-line-height-alt:10.85pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14pt; font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; &gt;Reviews on MeeGo testing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-top:12.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom: 12.0pt;margin-left:0in;mso-line-height-alt:10.85pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; &gt;The MeeGo project is happy to announce &quot;Day 1&quot; of the MeeGo Handset user experience project.

Today, the handset baseline source code is available to the development community. This code is being actively developed as MeeGo 1.1, which is scheduled for release in October. The team has been preparing &lt;a href=&quot;http://meego.gitorious.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;MeeGo Gitorious&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; with all the sources and infrastructure to perform the weekly builds for MeeGo 1.1 development.

font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; &gt;&quot;Our vision for seamlessly communicating between computing devices from the home, auto, office or your pocket is taking a big step forward today with the introduction of MeeGo,&quot; said Intel President and CEO Paul Otellini. &quot;This is a foundational step in our evolving relationship with Nokia. The merging of these two important assets into an open source platform is critical toward providing a terrific experience across a variety of devices and gaining cross- industry support.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom:8.15pt;line-height:15.0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 8.5pt; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; &gt;&quot;MeeGo will drive an even wider range of Internet computing and communication experiences for consumers, on new types of mobile devices,&quot; said Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, CEO, and Nokia. &quot;Through open innovation, MeeGo will create an ecosystem that is second to none, drawing in players from different industries. It will support a range of business models across the value chain, building on the experience and expertise of Nokia, Intel and all those who will join us. Simply put MeeGo heralds a new era of mobile computing.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom:8.15pt;line-height:15.0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 8.5pt; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; &gt;MeeGo blends the best of Maemo with the best of Moblin to create an open platform for multiple processor architectures. MeeGo builds on the capabilities of the Moblin core OS and its support for a wide range of device types and reference user experiences, combined with the momentum of Maemo in the mobile industry and the broadly adopted Qt application and UI framework for software developers.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom:8.15pt;line-height:15.0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 8.5pt; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; &gt;MeeGo also unites the robust worldwide Maemo and Moblin applications ecosystems and open source communities. For developers, MeeGo extends the range of target device segments for their applications. Using Qt for application development means that they can write applications once and easily deploy them on MeeGo and across other platforms, for example, on Symbian.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height: 15.0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 8.5pt; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; &gt;The Ovi Store will be the channel to market for apps and content for all Nokia devices, including MeeGo and Symbian-based, with Forum Nokia providing developer support across all Nokia device platforms.
