HTC Evo Smartphone features and price

2012-06-01T16:23:00.001+05:30

Now a days, we become so wonders seeing the hype of 3D around. According to me, apart from the movie, consumers aren’t exactly biting the 3D bait. So, when HTC launched their first glasses –free 3D phone- EVO 3D, a part of me bulked at the idea. How then the does the Evo 3D fare, and does adding the gloss of 3D cool to the imaging and gaming department really work? Let’s find out here.

If we consider it from the specifications, we see that the device is packed to the gills with all the bells and whistles including the latest Android Gingerbread OS, a massive 4.3 inch screen running an impressive 960x540 pixel resolution. This smartphone comes up with 1GB internal storage capacity, 1GB RAM and is run on 1.2 GHz dual core processor. Pity that the third dimension the phone adds to its specifications list shows on its waistline as well. The Evo 3D is darn good 2D phone and the display is sharp. The sense user interface common to HTC phones is a pleasure to use as always. Of course, the headline features are the two 5-megapixel cameras Auto focus and dual LED flash around the back of this smartphone which combined with the auto-stereoscopic screen produces an image for each of your eyes and if you get an angle just right, show you glorious 3D without those nerdy glasses.

Much like the Nintendo 3DS, the viewing angle to see the 3D affect pop out at you is rather slim. Also rule of thumb while shooting, the farther away from the subjects you are shooting, the better the image will turn out. Having a variety of subjects in both foreground and background helps as well. Don’t you like to see HD videos in your small screened phone? Then HTC Evo 3D phone offers you to stream videos to your big screen TV via DLNAand you able to share comfortably to the bigger audiences. It gives you the opportunity to watch on-demand Hollywood movies across multiple HTC devices. Also HTC Evo 3D smartphone gives you the ‘Zero-wait, zero-cost maps’ facility. Don’t understand? Well, with help of this facility, you can able to download maps to your phone for instant loading and you are not charged no data roaming when you’re traveling. Now the screen employs the ‘Paralax barrier’ method to achieve 3D, the 3D effect flickers in and out as you move your head which makes it at times disconcerting and downright nauseating at other times. Thankfully, there is a switch to turn 3D off but I’d much have preferred a slider to adjust the 3D-ness. So, performance is zippy in all cases as I see, though I do lament that the poor battery life which gives you 450 minutes talk time.

Price: Rs. 35000. This 3D smartphone is little bit of pricey and so there are many options you can concider if you are not hankering for 3D.

DNS Changer: a new virus arrived to harm you computer internet

2012-04-22T12:32:00.000+05:30

Internet user, be aware. Your internet connection may be affected and could stop working due to a virus, DNS Changer Virus, Which has corrupted million of computers in more than 100 countries and millions of internet users. In November 2011, six cyber criminals were arrested for running a sophisticated internet fraud ring that infected millions of computers worldwide with the DNS Changer which enabled them to manipulate the multibillion dollar Internet advertising industry. The criminals told that they had stolen $14 million, but the actual amount may larger because the banks are typically reluctant to reveal how much they have lost. The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has already started two-years special investigation which code name is Operation Ghost Click.

What is DNS?

DNS stands for Domain Name System. It is an internet service that converts user-friendly domain names into the numerical Internet Protocol (IP) address which computer system uses to talk to each other. Both DNS and DNS servers are a critical component of user computer’s operating environment. Users would not able to access websites, send emails or use any other Internet service without them. When you enter a domain name which is like www.xyz.com in your web browser’s address bar, your computer contacts DNS servers to determine the site’s IP address. Then your computer uses this IP address to access the website. Actually Internet Service Providers (ISP)operates the DNS servers and these included in your computer’s configuration.

What is DNS Changer?

DNS Changer is a Trojan virus which has a small size of about 1.5 KB. This changes the infected system’s DNS setting in order to divert the traffic to unsolicited and potentially illegal sites. This Trojan is designed to change the “Name Server”. Registry key value to a customer IP address is usually encrypted in the body of Trojan. By controlling DNS, a criminal can get an unsuspecting user to connect to a fraudulent website or interfere with the user’s online web browsing.

DNS Changer virus causes a computer to use rogue DNS servers in one of following two ways:

1) It changes the computer’s DNS server setting to replace the ISP’s good DNS setting with rogue DNS IP addresses operated by the criminals.

2) It attempts to access devices on the victims office or home network that run a Dynamic Host Configuration protocol (DHCP)server (example- Router). The malware attempts to access the user’s router using common default user names and password. These are usually ‘admin’ and ‘admin’ respectively. It converts the original DNS setting these devices use to rogue DNS setting that is operated by the criminals. This is a change that impacts all computers on the corporate network.

If your ISP’s DNS server is infected then you will be also affected. How do you know whether your computer is infected or not? It is the best idea to have it evaluated by a professional. You can also check it yourself in Windows XP/7 by going to the Start menu—Run—cmd . At the command prompt enter ipconfig/all. Now look for the result that shows “DNS Servers………..”. The DNS numbers are in the format of nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn where nnn is a number from 0 to 255. Make a note of IP address for DNS servers and compare them to the table of known DNS servers which are shown below.

Make a note of IP address for DNS servers and compare them to the table of known DNS servers which are shown below.

85.255.112.0 through 85.255.127.255
67.210.0.0 through 67.210.15.255
93.188.160.0 through 93.188.167.255
77.67.83.0 through 77.67.83.255
213.109.64.0 through 213.109.79.255
64.28.176.0 through 64.28.191.255

If you are using a MAC, then click on the Apple’s symbol in the top left corner and choose System Preferences, then Network and click on the Advanced button. Choose the DNS tab on the top to show the DNS servers you are using. There is a special website which is www.dnsok.de to check if your ISP’s DNS requests are made to the right places. This site tells you if you are affected by the DNS Changer virus or not.

How to repair if your computer is infected by DNS Changer

Well, if your pc is infected by rogue DNS, you can use Avira DNSRepair tool. This tool can be downloaded from www.avira.com/files/support/GAQ_KB_Download_Files/EN/AviraDNSRepairEN.exe .

India is going to get the taste of 4G soon

2012-03-27T12:41:00.000+05:30

Recent technological world got the touch of 4G and it is seemed that this decade will belong to mobile broadband and the key will be 4G. But most of are not familiar with this technology and they don’t know even what 4G technology is. I am giving a brief explanation about 4G here.

What is 4G?

4G technology is the fourth generation technology of wireless communications system after 2G and 3G. It is the extension of 3G technology giving more facilities and bandwidth. Different people describe definition of 4G technology in different way. None can explain its actual definition. Its network ride on a technology Long Term Evolution (LTE) Advanced which is a standard for wireless transmission that enables data to be relayed more efficiently over the spectrums. Not only that it enables data transmission at lightning speed and also eliminates even minor lags in transmission which is called latency.

But you may think that was not some hype for 3G about a year ago? Yes, it was. 3G was supposed to bring a revolution your handset. 3G was about being on line all the time, watching television on go, video conferencing and much more. The 2G era of fering voice and some basic browsing, was passed. The theoretical speed of 4G is from 100mbps to 1gbps. But actual speed in wireless technology could be far less than that depending on the three things which are 1) interference level like buildings, trees etc, 2) the number of people logged in to a network and 3) the user’s distance from the base station. For these cautions the original speed of 4G could be one fourth or one fifth what it is touted to be.It is expected that 80% of the estimated 5 billion worldwide subscribers by 2016 will be on mobile broadband and a majority will be on LTE or earlier high speed packet access.

What 4G offers you?

It is a billion dollar question that what I will get from 4G. Well, you can play interactive online games, watch and download movies, download and upload High-Definition (HD) videos in real time, watch HD television, conduct HD video-conferences on any mobile devices. In some countries, using LTE virtual classrooms are being conducted through high definition video conferencing to reach out to the students in far-flung areas.

Difference between 3G and 4G:

There are various differences between 3G and 4G. But I am citing here about their speed and latency which helps you determine their comparisons before using. Actually, 4G is faster and more reliable though there are some resembles are between them. But in case of speed the difference is being noticed. The speeds for 4G range between 100 mbps and 1gbps. The actual speed could be lower. Latency is down to 10-15 milliseconds. But in 3G, theoretical speed ranges between 384 kbps and 5mbps which is far less than 4G undoubtedly. The latency is 45-100 milliseconds.

Who will offer 4G?

In future BSNL, Reliance Industries, Aircel, Tikona Digital Networks, Airtel, MTNL and Augere Wireless Broadband India will offer 4G wireless technology in India. But the residents of Bhopal and Indore in Madhya Pradesh and Raipur in Chhattisgarh will be the first to take the taste the high speed internet on the move. Augere Wireless Broadband India which is an Internet Service Provider(ISP) takes a plan to launch their 4G service named Zoosh in these two states this May. To get this service you need a 4G or LTE dongle, customer premise equipment, a smartphone or tablet.

So, you may think that is it going to bid goodbye 3G, give a welcome 4G? It is too early to predict, but India’s late entry into 3G arena has meant that 3G and 4G have come back to back here. There was a gap of time period of atleast five years in other countries giving 3G to take off. That could mean that customers who were not satisfied with 3G may switch to 4G without giving 3G any chance to prove itself. Now how would be the 4G service no one know, we have to wait for sometimes to get the answer.
