Lamborghini history

Lamborghini was founded by Ferruccio Lamborghini Ellie a car collector, he criticized Ferrari Enzo for lack of performance in their cars, then Enzo angrily said, if you think the bad times because my car does not produce its own cas. Ferruccio started with that in mind to produce their own cars, and give it a lamborghini emerged.
Ferruccio decided to settle in Sant'Agata Bologna and hired a number of renowned engineers to build their Lamborghini cars, as was the case of Bizzarrini, Dallara and Stanzani.
In 1964 the first car was produced Lamborghini 350 GT model, which combined a chassis designed by Dallara with a V12 engine designed by Bizzarrini. The car was quite successful and was produced until 1968, after it was renovated in 1966.
In 1966 it launched the legendary Lamborghini Miura, designed by Bertone and Luigi also equipped with a powerful V12 engine. Also Lamborghini Miura has been a tremendous sales success, being produced until 1973.

However, in 1968 had been presented the Lamborghini Islero to replace the Lamborghini 400 GT which had emerged as the development of the 350GT. Also in 1968 appeared the Lamborghini Espada, the first car brand with a capacity for four people. Two years later the Lamborghini Islero was replaced by Lamborghini Jarama.
In 1972 Urraco enabled the Italian brand into the super-segment of small cars.
Also this year, Lamborghini sold 51 percent of its shares to a Swiss businessman, with the remaining 49 percent to be delivered to another Swiss in 1974.
In between, in 1973 the Lamborghini Miura was replaced by another model that also made history in the world of sport car characteristics, the Lamborghini Countach. This car had a very angular, aerodynamic design and was fitted with a powerful rear engine of 4000 cc and 12 cylinder V The car was produced with these features until 1988, when the engine started to have an engine displacement of 5000cc.

However, the company was for long in financial difficulties and in 1981 was sold to brothers Mimra, who revitalized the brand.
Accordingly, in 1981 came the Lamborghini Jalpa, which was based on Lamborghini Urraco, and in 1982 the Lamborghini LM002, new to the brand, since it was a vehicle for the Allroad. This Jeep was powered by a Countach.
In 1987, the U.S. brand Chrysler bought Lamborghini, and beyond the replacement of the Countach, began to prepare an engine to power F1 cars. The premiere took place in this car race in 1989 but never succeeded.
Since the replacement of the Lamborghini Countach, the Lamborghini Diablo was presented in 1990 with great success, remaining in production beyond 2000. At the time, Lamborghini had passed into the hands of the German group Volkswagen, which happened in 1998, having been associated with the Audi brand.

Harrier II:

The British Aerospace/McDonnell Douglas Harrier II is a second-generation vertical/short takeoff and landing (V/STOL) jet aircraft used previously by the Royal Air Force (RAF) and, between 2006–2010, the Royal Navy. Derived from the McDonnell Douglas AV-8B Harrier II, which was a development of the Hawker Siddeley Harrier, the BAe Harrier II was produced as the Harrier GR5/GR7/GR9. Both are primarily used for light attack or multi-role tasks, and are often operated from small aircraft carriers. The Harrier II fell victim to a UK defence review which saw all its operational airframes retired from service in December 2010.

Why Windows Users Buy Laptops Preloaded with Free DOS?

2011-10-13T04:19:00.000-07:00

Why Windows Users Buy Laptops Preloaded with Free DOS?:

If you are looking to buy one of the mid-range laptops, you may have noticed that some laptop manufacturers offer you a choice in operating systems for the same hardware configuration.

For instance, the next screenshot is from the Lenovo India website. The two machines carry the same hardware but one is loaded with genuine Windows 7 while the other one is running on Free DOS. Some laptops may have Ubuntu Linux in place of Free DOS.

Why Windows Users go for FreeDOS / Linux Laptops?

The DOS / Linux based laptops are obviously less expensive than their Windows 7 counterparts as the vendor need not pay any Windows licensing fee to Microsoft and some of that price benefit is passed on to the consumer.

The important question is that if you are a Windows user and want a laptop with Windows 7, why would you even consider one that has Linux or Free DOS even if it is cheaper?

I was talking to a laptop dealer and he offered a very convincing reason. He said that most people who opt for Free DOS / Linux based laptops, purchase a retail (licensed) copy of Windows 7 DVD separately and then they overwrite the DOS with Windows 7.

Isn’t that tedious? People take this route because, unlike the OEM copy of Windows which is tied to one particular computer, they have an option to transfer the retail Windows license to any another computer later should they decide to sell /donate their old laptop. Piracy could be the other big reason why people may be opting for these non-Windows machines.

Boost your Wi-Fi Signal with an Empty Can of Coke

2011-10-13T04:18:00.000-07:00

Boost your Wi-Fi Signal with an Empty Can of Coke:

A piece of Aluminum foil is probably the easiest and cheapest way to boost your Wi-Fi signal.

You just need to position the foil behind the antenna of your wireless router and the curved foil will then direct the Wi-Fi signals in your preferred direction thus boosting the overall signal strength.

Other than using an Aluminum foil, as Kim Komando explains in the following video, you may also make your own Wi-Fi extender at home using an empty can of beer or soda.

The cans are obviously more sturdy than the foil and the can’s lid acts as a stand but you need to be a bit more careful while cutting the can’s body with that knife. Also make sure that the can’s inner body is completely dry before you slip it into the router’s antenna.

Friends Can Help Recover Your Facebook Account:

There are a couple of simple but important steps you may take to ensure that your Facebook account is always safe and secure from hackers.

For instance, you may associate a phone number to your account and Facebook will send a text message whenever someone logs into your Facebook account from a new location or from another computer. It also helps if you can add an alternate email address to your Facebook account as a backup in case you lose access to the primary email address.

Use Trusted Friends to Recover your Facebook Account

Trusted Friends is one of the other useful security related feature of Facebook that some of us may not be aware of (video).

You choose any 3-5 friends, who you trust, and Facebook will send them recovery instructions for your account in the worst case scenario where you have forgotten your Facebook password and have also lost access to your email accounts and your mobile phone.

To set up a trusted friends list for your Facebook account, go to your Account Settings –> Security –> Trusted Friends and pick any 3-5 close friends.

If you ever get locked out of our account, Facebook will send recovery codes to all these trusted friends. Next you need to call your friends, collect the codes and submit them to Facebook. After you submit the security codes, you'll have to wait for 24-hours before you can log into Facebook again.

How to Set up Trusted Friends in Facebook – Video

Here’s a quick video detailing how you may specify Trusted Friends in Facebook.

Best Proxy Managers for Internet Browsers

2011-08-15T04:03:00.000-07:00

Best Proxy Managers for Internet Browsers: "

Switching internet connections is always a big pain. Fortunately, we have proxy managers that take care of this complicated job. More thankfully, we have browser proxy add-ons and extensions, which makes this job easier than it sounds.

When do you need a proxy manager?

If you are the type of user that work on different networks simultaneously (e.g. one for company intranet, other for internet and other for home network) then each time you have to change your configuration to connect to different servers. If you need a quick way to way to switch between different proxy servers, without going to different screens then these managers will be of great help.

Let us see some of the best proxy managers, which work within browsers -

#. For Google Chrome – Proxy Switchy Extension

Click images to enlarge

Proxy Switchy is an Advance proxy manager for Chrome that gives you freedom to change between multiple profiles with a single click. You can also make URL based rules with this Chrome Extension. Since Chrome doesn’t have its own network configuration settings, this extension changes systems settings. As a result, it works for IE in the same manner. It also supports Socks v4 and v5, and LAN and VPN/Dial-up proxy settings. Another good feature of this extension is that you can backup and restore options or export switch rules as PAC/RuleList file.

#. For Firefox – FoxyProxy Standard Addon

Click images to enlarge

FoxyProxy Standard Addon adds power to the limited inbuilt proxy capabilities of Firefox. It automatically switches to different connections based on URL patterns. So, you don’t have to fiddle with Firefox’s Connection Settings dialog each time.

This addon combines proxy.pac maintained by network administrators with an explicit proxy. It is also fully compatible with portable Firefox and it keeps logs of all the proxies that were used and when.

#. For Internet Explorer – Advance Proxy Manager

Click images to enlarge

Currently you need to play with several screens to change proxy in Internet Explorer. There are lot of settings to reconfigure. Advance Proxy Manager allows you to make multiple proxy settings and you can easily switch them from tray icon menu.

The only disadvantage is that it is still in beta phase and was last updated on December 30, 2008.

Alternatively, you can try IE7Pro that also supports tabbed browsing capabilities.

Find the Perfect Mobile Plan and Save Money!

Find the Perfect Mobile Plan and Save Money!: "

If you are based in India and carry a mobile phone, which you do for sure, here’s something that may help you pick the best (or most cost-effective) voice and text plan for your phone based on your current actual usage.

The service, known as 3gsimplified, is available as a mobile app for Android phones and also as a web app in case you are using a different phone or would like to compare mobile plans from the desktop.

Which is the Best Mobile Plan for you?

You install the app and choose your region (or circle) and also your existing cellular operator from the available options. The app will read the voice call logs from the phone and based on the local / national (STD) usage, it will recommend you a list of the most cost-effective plans from different operators in your region.

With mobile number portability (MNP) available across India, it has become so easy to switch operators now. Alternatively, you may configure the Plan Hound app to only show plans from your existing operator or from the preferred operators.

Then there’s the web app, available at 3gsimplified.com, for mobile users who are not on Android. Here you need to manually input your monthly voice usage for Local and STD calls and the service will use the exact algorithm to determine a more cost-effective plan for your mobile phone.

The idea is impressive and well implemented except for one limitation - the mobile app does not consider the roaming usage – calls you made while you were outside your circle – while recommending the voice plans. For frequent travellers, the roaming charges may often constitute the bulk of their monthly mobile bill.

The Plan Hound app was one of the shortlisted entries at the Nasscom Emerge contest and secured the third position. If you want to save on your monthly mobile bill but don’t have the time to analyze your call logs, get this app!

Bring Language Translation Capability to any Windows Software

How to Create a Custom Facebook Page in 5 Minutes

2011-08-08T20:45:00.002-07:00

How to Create a Custom Facebook Page in 5 Minutes: "

My previous guide on creating custom Facebook Pages is no longer relevant since it made use of Static FBML (Facebook Markup Language) and Facebook recently dropped support for FBML tags in favor of IFRAME based tabs.

This is actually good news for businesses and individuals who maintain Facebook Pages because you can now customize the design of your Pages without writing any code. You can create custom apps (or ‘tabs’) for your Facebook Page in any WYSIWYG editor and thus, anything that can be embedded in a HTML page can be easily added to your Facebook Pages.

Building Custom Tabs (Apps) for Facebook Pages

Before we get into the actual process of creating custom tabs for Facebook Pages, we need to decide a place where we’ll host the HTML, CSS and other associated files. If you already have a web host, you can use that to host your Facebook Pages but an even better, and simpler, option is Google Sites.

[*] The Digital Inspiration page on Facebook also uses Google Sites.

There are several reasons why you may want to use Google Sites. Google Sites are easy to maintain, offer WYSIWGY editing tools and can be integrated with Google Analytics so you more easily track visitors to your Facebook pages.

The other big reason is that Google Sites support both secure (https) and regular (http) connections. This is extremely essential because some users may have turned on “secure browsing” in their Facebook security settings. If you service your Page content from a regular (http) connection, all they’ll see is a “turn off secure browsing” warning messages.

You can easily avoid this issue with the help of Google Sites.

How to Create a Facebook App for your Page

Enough of theory, let’s now get our hands dirty and build a custom tab app for our Facebook Page.

Step 1: Open Google Sites and create a new site. Choose “Blank Slate” for the theme and set the width as 500px (the Facebook Pages canvas can be 520px wide). [#]

Step 2: Create a new page in Google Sites and add some content to this page using either the built-in WYSIWYG editor or switch to the HTML view for any custom code. You may insert images, maps, videos, and everything else just like a regular HTML page. [#]

Step 3: Switch to Facebook and search for the “Developer” app. Add this to your Facebook Profile and then click on the button that says “Create a new App”. Give your app a name and also add an icon since it will show up in your Facebook page. [#]

Step 4: Under Facebook –> Canvas Settings, set the URLs for Canvas and Tab the same as your Google Site’s URL. The regular Canvas /Tab URL should point to the http version of the Google Sites while the Secure Canvas /Tab URL should use the https version. [#]

Step 5: We are almost done. On the “Canvas Settings” page itself, click “View App Profile Page” followed by “Add to My Page” to add that app to any of your Facebook Pages as a new “tab.” If you wish to create more tabs for your custom Facebook Page, you just have to create new apps using the same steps.

PreCursor Turns your Monitor into a Touch Screen

2011-08-08T20:45:00.001-07:00

PreCursor Turns your Monitor into a Touch Screen: "

Pranav Misty, inventor of the Sixth Sense device, is working on a new project called PreCursor that can turn any regular computer monitor into a touch screen.

Here’s a short teaser video of PreCursor in action:

PreCursor uses two camera that add a virtual layer in front of your computer screen and any interactions that you perform in this layer are transmitted to the computer.

The virtual touchscreen created by PreCursor is in a way more versatile than the existing touchscreen of your mobile phone or tablet. That’s because in addition to the regular tap /click gesture, PreCursor has also recognize the hover action, something which require a mouse and is possible to do with existing touch screens.

The technology is still in the labs but definitely has some great potential.

Get iPhone like Location-based Reminders on your Android Phone

Get iPhone like Location-based Reminders on your Android Phone: "

The upcoming iOS 5, which is expected to become available in the next month or two, will add location-based alerts to your iPhone and iPad (screenshot). What that means is you can choose to get reminders on your mobile based on your physical (geographic) location.

For instance, if you are to pick flowers while returning from work, you can set a new location-based reminder that will pop-up as your car is crossing the market that houses your favorite flower shop. Or if you have left something, say your pen, at a friend’s place, you can set a reminder to pick it up whenever you visit her home next.

If you would like to have something similar on your Android mobile phone, check out Location Alert. The app is free, intuitive and works as advertised.

Location-based Alerts for Android

Setting location based reminders is simple. The app is integrated with Google Maps and you can just tap a location on the map to set a reminder around that place. You may create one-time alerts or ones that repeat on particular days (like when you need to pick medicines from the Chemist every Friday).

I tried the app on a Samsung Galaxy phone while on a short trip around the city and it did work as advertised. You can associate a radius (say, 1 mile) with the alerts so that the reminder triggers off whenever you are within a particular distance from the location specified in the alarm.

The Location Alert app, like the new reminder system of iOS 5, determines your location using cellular towers, Wi-Fi and the built-in GPS. Anything that depends on GPS can drain the battery pretty fast but developer Kabir Mehra says that the app tries to determine the location only when the device is moving else it pings for location once every five minutes.

Kabir had initially planned to develop the Location Alert app for iPhone, Android and BlackBerry but just two days after he made his app available on the Android Market, Apple announced iOS 5. He does however plan to bring the app to the BlackBerry platform.
