noreply@blogger.com (ranjit sharma) — Mon, 06 Jul 2015 04:21:00 +0000

Adding to the previous leaks dealing with Xiaomi Mi 5 and Redmi Note 2, two new images have surfaced on Chinese social networking site Weibo. These images shows the handsets' back panels, offering more details about the two smartphones.
The first image (via Gizmochina) featuring the rumoured Xiaomi Mi 5 shows the smartphone's dual-camera setup at the back along with dual-LED flash. The rear panel of the rumoured smartphone show no sign of the inclusion of a fingerprint sensor, which was rumoured earlier this week . The back panel seems to have been made out of glass.
Some of the other specifications being tipped for the rumoured Xiaomi Mi 5 include a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 SoC, 5.2-inch QHD (1440x2560 pixels) resolution display, 16-megapixel rear camera, 8-megapixel front-facing camera, 4GB of RAM, 16GB or 64GB of inbuilt storage, and 3000mAh battery.
The second image (via GforGames), said to be showing us a glimpse of Xiaomi Redmi Note 2, features a smartphone with fingerprint sensor placed below the rear camera and the LED flash. Seen in its silver colour variant, the design of the handset goes in line with the last month's leaked image , which also showed the rear panel of the unannounced Redmi Note 2.
Unfortunately, the specifications of the handset in question was not mentioned in the leak. The smartphone however, allegedly passed China's Quality Certification Centre recently, tipping some innards. As per the certification listing, the Redmi Note 2 is supposed to include a 5.5-inch full-HD (1080x1920 pixels) display; a 13-megapixel rear camera; a 5-megapixel front camera, and a battery larger than 3000mAh. 4G LTE connectivity is also tipped.

Android Smartphone With Massive 10000mAh Battery Is Coming Soon

noreply@blogger.com (ranjit sharma) — Thu, 02 Jul 2015 19:29:00 +0000

Oukitel might not be a brand you're familiar with, but they're coming in with a bang. The recently announced Oukitel U9 has received a bit of attention for featuring things like worldwide LTE support, but it's their next smartphone that will be taking all of the headlines. Battery life is always a hot topic when it comes to smartphones, and while some manufacturers dabble in 4,000, 5,000 or even 6,000 mAh batteries, Oukitel is taking that to a whole new level.
Introducing the Oukitel K10000, a metal-bodied smartphone with a giant 10,000 mAh battery. Details of the device are still sketchy at this point, but we have managed to confirm that it will run Android 5.1 Lollipop out of the box and will have a 5.5-inch display. Finer details of the phone, including things like which SoC it will be packing, the display's resolution, how much RAM it will have or how much storage it will have have yet to be confirmed by Oukitel's engineering team.
What is known, however, is that the phone looks like something out of a Transformers movie, and the battery life will almost certainly be glorious. Going by the figure alone, a user should expect almost a week's worth of moderate usage on a single charge.
While waiting on more details of the phone to be made public, however, we have obtained some exclusive real-world photos of the device which can be viewed below.
Update: We can confirm that it will be a completely battery-centric smartphone, in that it will have the quad-core MediaTek MT6735 SoC (which supports worldwide LTE ) and a 720p resolution for its 5.5-inch display. Other details confirmed to Neowin include:
13 MP rear camera
5 MP front camera
2 GB RAM
16 GB internal storage

Facebook launches new version of Lite for 2G users in India

noreply@blogger.com (ranjit sharma) — Wed, 01 Jul 2015 06:20:00 +0000

Facebook said on Monday it is testing a lightweight version of its mobile app for mobile phones with poor-quality internet connections in emerging markets.
A spokesman told AFP in an email that the 'Facebook Lite' Android app is designed "for people on 2G (second generation) connections or in areas of limited internet accessibility."
The move expands Facebook's efforts to grow the world's biggest social network, which already has more than a billion users.
Most of Facebook's growth is coming from emerging markets, but many people lack the phones or computers needed for the full-featured app.
The 'lite' version can allow users with low-cost Android handsets to quickly load Facebook feeds and photos.
Technology news website TechCrunch said the app was launch in several countries in Asia and Africa over the weekend, including Bangladesh, Nepal, Nigeria, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Vietnam and Zimbabwe.
Facebook has previously launched a version of its service for people with simple mobile phones.

Mein Kampf (1941) eBook PDF free

noreply@blogger.com (ranjit sharma) — Sun, 02 Sep 2012 03:23:00 +0000

Author: Adolf Hitler
Publisher: Reynal And Hitchcock
Year: 1941
Language: English

Mein Kampf (English: My Struggle or My Battle) is a book by Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. It combines elements of autobiography with an exposition of Hitler's political ideology. Volume 1 of Mein Kampf was published in 1925 and Volume 2 in 1926.

Hitler began the dictation of the book while imprisoned for what he considered to be "political crimes" after his failed Putsch in Munich in November 1923. Though Hitler received many visitors earlier on, he soon devoted himself entirely to the book. As he continued, Hitler realized that it would have to be a two-volume work, with the first volume scheduled for release in early 1925. The prison governor of Landsberg noted at the time that "he [Hitler] hopes the book will run into many editions, thus enabling him to fulfil his financial obligations and to defray the expenses incurred at the time of his trial."

SRI CHANAKYA NITI-SASTRA
THE POLITICAL ETHICS OF CHANAKYA PANDIT

Chanakya (Sanskrit: चाणक्य ) (c. 350-283 BC) was an adviser and a prime minister to the first Maurya Emperor Chandragupta (c. 340-293 BC), and architect of his rise to power. Kautilya and Vishnugupta, the names by which the ancient Indian political treatise called the Arthaśāstra identifies its author, are traditionally identified with Chanakya. Some scholars consider Chanakya to be "the pioneer economist of the world". He is known as "The Indian Machiavelli" in the Western world. Chanakya was a professor at Takshashila University and is widely believed to be responsible for the creation of Mauryan empire, the first of its kind on the Indian subcontinent.

"Before you start some work, always ask yourself three questions - Why am I doing it, What the results might be and Will I be successful. Only when you think deeply and find satisfactory answers to these questions, go ahead." - Says Chanaktaya. Chanakya, an adviser and a prime minister and the architect of the rise of first Maurya Emperor Chandragupta to the power. the political treatise `Arthashastra` identifies its author by the names of Kautilya and Vishnugupta are also traditionally identified with Chanakya.

Karbonn to launch Android Jelly Bean tablet for Rs 11,000

noreply@blogger.com (ranjit sharma) — Fri, 06 Jul 2012 11:39:00 +0000

Along with Jelly Bean or Android 4.1, Smart Tab 4 will have Gorilla Glass and will be powered by a 1.5 GHz processor.

Karbonn Mobiles, an Indian handset player, is all set to launch an Android Jelly Bean tablet in August for Indian consumers.

Pardeep Jain, managing director, Karbonn Mobiles, said, "We will be launching Karbonn Smart Tab 4, a 9.7 inch tablet based on Google's latest operating system Jelly Bean in August."

He further added, "As we strive to offer consumers an affordable mobile solution, Karbonn Mobiles will price Karbonn Smart Tab 4 around Rs 11,000."

Karbonn Smart Tab 4 will have a Gorilla Glass screen and it will be powered by a 1.5 GHz processor. It will support WiFi,3G through a USB dongle and Bluetooth for connectivity.

Jain also said, "Another version of Smart Tab 4 with SIM functionality will be launched in September and it might come bundled with a leading telco's SIM and free data."

Google at its recently held Google I/O conference in San Francisco has taken the wraps off the successor to the current Ice Cream Sandwich version of Android, known as Jelly Bean (Android 4.1), which adds improvements to search, voice typing and notifications.

Starting in mid-July, Google will start rolling out over-the-air updates of Jelly Bean to Galaxy Nexus, Motorola Xoom and Nexus S, and will also release Jelly Bean to the open source community during that time.

CERN Finds Evidence of Higgs Boson-Like Particle (What's Next, Star Trek Artificial Gravity?)

noreply@blogger.com (ranjit sharma) — Fri, 06 Jul 2012 06:34:00 +0000

CERN's interpretation of what they expect to see from the decay of a Higgs boson.

It's the 4th of July and let me tell you, CERN sure does know how to make a bang! This morning in Geneva, Switzerland, CERN announced at a seminar--a precursor to the International Conference on High Energy Physics (ICHEP2012)--that it has found clear signs of a new particle thought to be the Higgs boson--the mass particle.

While the results are still preliminary, they are based on data collected over 2011 and 2012, with the data from 2012 still under analysis. Although the results are preliminary, the data collected by CERN's ATLAS and CMS experiments show strong evidence of its being the Higgs boson. CERN'sJoe Incandela says that this is definitely a new particle, that it must be a boson--a type of fundamental subatomic particle--and that it's the heaviest boson ever found.

Now for a little bit of physics-speak: Both the ATLAS and CMS experiments show that the new particle is in the mass region of 125-126 GeV (gigaelectron volts). The Standard Model of particle physics is built upon the electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces. In order for the Standard Model to be valid, the Higgs boson must be in the mass region between 115 and 180 GeV. Since this is definitely a new particle, a boson, and within that range, among other data found by CERN, there is a high probability that this new particle is indeed the long-sought-after Higgs boson.

So what now? CERN will continue to analyze the 2012 data, which is expected to be published around the end of July. Later this year, scientists should get a better grasp of what this particle is after the LHC conducts some more experiments.

According to CERN Research Director Sergio Bertolucci, the research organization stated last year that it would either "find a new Higgs-like particle or exclude the existence of the Standard Model Higgs" sometime in 2012. If this new particle is verified to be the Higgs boson, the the implications will be significant for our understanding of the mechanisms that run nature and the universe.

Amazon said to be developing its own smartphone

noreply@blogger.com (ranjit sharma) — Fri, 06 Jul 2012 06:17:00 +0000

Amazon is said to be in the midst of developing its own smartphone, which will compete against the iPhone and the Android smartphones, says Bloomberg. The world's largest online retailer is said to have partnered with Foxconn to manufacture the handset for it.

There are no other details available at the moment but if Amazon plans to compete with iPhone their phone has to be high-end, unlike the Kindle Fire, which was a budget offering. We don't know what software it would be running but it's fair to assume it would be a heavily customized version of Android such as the one on the Kindle Fire.

Considering Amazon has its own application store, along with books, music, movies and loads of other stuff, it really doesn't matter if it doesn't allow access to the Google Play Store (assuming you're in the US).

Amazon may not have the same brand value when it comes to smartphone, seeing as it doesn't have any so far, but it does run the world's most popular online store, where it can advertise the phone on every page. This, coupled with the content from its store and possibly an attractive price tag means the Amazon smartphone could be a success, just like the Kindle Fire.
