These documents are coming from 160 “Intelligence Contractors”, many of them located in the western developed nations. These organizations are responsible for creation of interception devices, softwares and other technologies. These include Internet Monitoring, SMS Monitoring, Phone Monitoring, Trojan, Speech Analysis and GPS Tracking.

Organisations like Nokia, RIM and Cisco are also involved.The companies are located in Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Israel, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, South Africa, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom, Ukraine and United States.

What these technologies can do -

• Record Every keystroke on your computer and smartphone.
• Track your location to a 50 Metres radius even if you phone is on standby (GPS).
• Intercept Text Messages and Phone Calls all the time Without the Knowledge of  Telecommunications Provider.
• They can track every move you make and are even capable of sending sounds in your vicinity directly to the control centres without the awareness of the user.
• BBM (Blackberry Messenger) and other Instant Messenger’s can tracked seamlessly.
• Remote Controlled Flying devices to collect surveillance data.
• ‘Voiceprints’ to match phone calls and identify an individual.

The Nasty Part

The most feared outcome of such technology being available to Governments is suppression of movements against the wrong or perhaps, the powerful wrong people. It is a serious privacy concern, (Well, does privacy even exist any more?) and breaches moral ethics.

With Great Power comes Great Responsibility – Uncle Ben

Problem 1. Dictators have invested in these technologies to keep a check on any uprising. Many devices manufactured by VASTech, South Africa and ZTE Corp of China have been found in Egypt and Libya where they had “Listening Rooms” set up to monitor any digital maneuver. This breaches Human Rights and vests infinite amount of power of in the ruler who can over run any movement. Communist nations like China are using these technologies ruthlessly to ‘control’ the nation.

Problem 2. With Eastern Nations like India where governments are still in midst of corrupt practices, Tracking Technologies are used by dishonest officials to supplement their political rivalries. These technologies can further reach to business organizations who track their employees (Happening in China).

Problem 3. Military and Security Organizations which can suppress any issue in their countries are enabled to locate any individual on the map in moments. If you realize, they can do anything at any moment without anyone getting to know. This weapon could cost many countries their foundations of democracy.

Problem 4. Private Organisations create softwares to analyze all the data collected. For military organizations, this is a gold mine. They maintain full control over the population. The Digital Age is not bounded by the borders of the country. One country can collect data from dozens of other countries. This indeed is The Digi-Cold War.

Problem 5. Irresponsible usage by mismanaged governments could be exploited by Mafia’s and Powerful Magnates to create fear and do just what they want.

This industry is making billions for those who create such technologies at the cost of what?

By far it’s been the quickest entry of the latest iPhone into the Indian Market (Officially, that is) from the date of launch. iPhone 4s is going to be offered by two carriers in India.They are Airtel and Aircel. Aircel has already begun its advertising campaign flooding its galleries with banners. Pre-ordering will begin a week before launch. This has been made official on Aircel’s Facebook page.

Airtel is said to be offering a premium price of Rs 35,000 (US $690)  for 16 Gb model while 32 Gb is said to be 41,000 (US $809) Indian Rupees. You will be bundled with a contract with your service provider. While Apple Stores offer factory unlocked for higher prices. Such as 16 Gb for 41,850 Indian Rupees, 32 Gb for 50,250 Indian Rupees and 64 Gb for 58,650 Indian Rupees. These prices exclude local taxes which will shoot the prices further high!

The iPhone 4 will then only be offered in 8GB version and the price is going to fall about Rs. 10,000+ ($235) from its current price especially because of capacity variations. The 3GS is likely to continue with the current price (Rs 19,900).

With a 50,000 dots per second and Frame per second rate upwards of 10, this works on the concept of excitation of oxygen and nitrogen plasma in the air using. Soon, we will be able to experience something like this in our living rooms.

What happens now? Adobe says despite discontinuing development they will continue to release bugs and security updates. That’s all for the show. They will drop support for all future device upgrades. This is a rash decision and disrupts the developer ecosystem who were dependent on Flash for mobile integration.

Adobe tried hard implementing Flash into mobiles but performance reports showed poor results. It almost led to diverging of the mobile development, which either for-sided flash or not. This was yet again, not in anyone’s favor. Flash, as Jobs said, was made for the PC-Era. It couldn’t  adapt to the newer standards. It altogether needed a replacement and a gradual shift but continuous upgrades to same old thing wouldn’t do the trick. Adobe failed to understand it and the reason too is clear, it was and is (On Desktops) its cash cow.

They decide to channelize their advancements onto HTML5, the newest open standard for web development. As the market changed, media consumption habits altered and as everything moved to faster performance – Adobe slogged. The Cost was high. Today, the entire brand identity is at stake. Obviously, by letting mobile phones go away, it’s already running a race to lose. Who would want to develop applications for Flash despite its great features if it offers no reliability. Who would want to waste their hardwork?

This would shake any developer’s faith in Flash on ANY platform. How can you suddenly stop supporting a widely distributed client for the newer devices with one blog post? The last two decades, when closed standards were treated with respect, Flash rose to power. Now it’s time that industry moves to Open Standards like HTML5, CSS and Javascript which offer more reliability and if not provide features like Flash but at least turn out to viable alternatives (for now).

There are several reasons why Flash failed.

• It didn’t garner support from Apple. They hold a lot of Mobile Market Share. A lot of.
• It really wasn’t that good. Performance sucked and it didn’t go with the concept of newer devices.
• It had a premium tag for its developer tools. Premium tag for making something while you could run the same trick with Open Standards turned out a price too high to pay for Adobe.

16 Gigs for $649, 32 for $749 and 64 for $849. If you place an order now, you will be seeing it in one or two weeks. The catch is that these ‘unlocked’ phones only work with GSM carriers and NOT CDMA carriers. So carriers like AT&T will work but Verizon and Sprint won’t.

If you are in some country like India or UAE where prices for the 4S are $1000+ (black market) expect the prices to fall now. Infact, they will further decrease as Apple is officially releasing iPhone 4S to many countries in the east. Though we’re still not sure whether they will be unlocked or not.

Get to the Apple Store.

Ubuntu was destined to enter the smarphone and tablet market. It’s very obvious because if it wants to survive it has to adapt to the changing computing devices. Canonical (Creator of Linux) founder, Mark Shuttleworth is going to announce the future plans at Ubuntu Developer Summit. He says Version 14.04 – April 2014 will see the launch of the OS on tablets and phones.

Ubuntu Unity Interface

They have been in talks with partners for over 18 months and the OS is going to land on ARM powered tablets which are predicted to be out next year.

I can’t deliver a product schedule yet, Ubuntu is already working with hardware partners to bring products to market. As progress is made Ubuntu will take the device-specific code, open source it, and roll it into standard Ubuntu ~ Mark Shuttleworth, Founder – Canonical.

Even Ubuntu’s desktop interface moreover looks like it’s meant for a tablet. It’s too simple to be on a Desktop. The release of the new unity interface was a signal that they’re eyeing touch devices. I don’t think they can really melt a rock because they cannot match the magnitude of iOS or Windows Developers in just few years. Via ZDNet.

If you are wondering, “How to get Siri working on iPhone 4 and iPod Touch?” then here’s a flat answer – They’re not planning to release it to the public because it’s illegal to repack Apple’s code and distribute it. But I don’t think it will take more time for other hackers to get this working and release it once we know it’s possible. And we will update you on this as soon as it’s released. Have a look at the video after the break.
