&lt;br /&gt;
Google Body Browser&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unfortunately, &lt;a href=&quot;http://pcmag.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;PCMag.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; could not get the new application to work, a problem shared by at least one other commenter on the page. Google published the Body &lt;span id=&quot;goog_950777828&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=ts041-20&amp;amp;amp;l=btl&amp;amp;amp;camp=213689&amp;amp;amp;creative=392969&amp;amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;amp;a=1593271840&quot;&gt;Browser&lt;span id=&quot;goog_950777829&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; as an in-browser tool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Body Browser is a detailed 3D model of the human body,&quot; Google said in an introduction. &quot;You can peel back anatomical layers, zoom in, and navigate to parts that interest you. Click to identify anatomy, or search for muscles, organs, bones and more.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Body Browser requires a browser, such as the beta version of Chrome, with WebGL. &lt;a href=&quot;http://tekshare.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;WebGL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, a 3D graphics API that can be run directly within the browser, was implemented in &lt;a href=&quot;http://tekshare.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;theChrome&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/a&gt;beta that was launched earlier this week.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like the Google Sky Map for Android, users can search for individual organs, or &quot;peel back&quot; and expose different systems, such as the skeleton and internal organs. The 3D model, which is female, can also be rotated and zoomed in and out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unfortunately, the page simply displayed the female model, but refused to allow it to be rotated or manipulated when &lt;a href=&quot;http://tekshare.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;PCMag.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; tried it - possibly an issue tied to a hardware configuration, or an indication that Google needs to tweak its own technology. Users will have to download the beta version of Chrome, which will put them on the beta track for updates; PCMag.com did so.&lt;br /&gt;
However, two users on Google&#39;s comments page also noted problems that prevented the page from loading.&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Can&#39;t load page using 9.0.597.19 beta. Get the &quot;Aw Snap&quot; page after load attempt,&quot; &quot;Pondopholous&quot; wrote.&lt;br /&gt;

The much awaited phone has a &lt;a href=&quot;http://tekshare.blogspot.com/&quot; style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;nVidia&lt;/a&gt; Tegra 2 chip at its core. The presence of a &lt;a href=&quot;http://tekshare.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;dual core processor&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; guarantees a much better web browsing and multitasking experience, claims LG. As for now, this is the world’s first smartphone having a dual core processor. &lt;a href=&quot;http://tekshare.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;Tegra 2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; also has a low power consuming &lt;a href=&quot;http://tekshare.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;GPU&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, having the first 1080p video processor,  which is claimed to make web browsing twice as fast and gaming five times as fast. The phone is a direct competitor to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://tekshare.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;Samsung Galaxy S&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and a comparison video shows the humiliation of the Galaxy S when pitted against the Optimus 2x. &lt;br /&gt;
The Optimus 2x boasts of 1080p HD video recording. In addition to this it also supports &lt;a href=&quot;http://tekshare.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;HDMI&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; mirroring. This feature will allow you to duplicate whatever the phone’s 4-inch WVGA screen is displaying on an external screen in full HD quality. This feature also supports the streaming of games making the Optimus 2x an attractive gaming device. It will be able to connect wirelessly to an external compatible screen. Other features include a 8 megapixel camera at the back. It is also suited for video chatting with a 1.3 megapixel camera in the front.  Similar to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://tekshare.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;iPhone&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, the phone has an accelerometer and gyro sensor for extremely precise motion sensing. It has 8 GB on board memory and supports an external memory card of up to 32 GB. On the software front, the phone comes with Android 2.2(Froyo) and is eligible for an upgrade to Android 2.3(Gingerbread). The phone comes across as a dynamic multimedia package with excellent hardware specs and Android to go with it. It will be available in South Korea in the next month followed by release in Europe and Asia.&lt;br /&gt;

In related news, rumors of a dual core  &lt;a href=&quot;http://tekshare.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;HTC smart phone&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; dubbed ‘Scorpion’ surfaced. The phone is rumored to have a &lt;a href=&quot;http://tekshare.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;1.5 Ghz &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;processor and &lt;a href=&quot;http://tekshare.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;Android 2.2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. HTC spokesperson denied the existence of any phone by that name.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The Optimus 2x is one of the many dual core phones coming this year. Though it has been the first phone to be announced, we can expect a plethora of different dual core phones coming this year. Battery consumption of such a phone remains a concern and we will have to wait and see how they performs.</description><link>http://tekshare.blogspot.com/2010/12/lg-announces-first-dual-core-phone-lg.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (aNIL)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3565885942472933424.post-8494910014665333289</guid><pubDate>Thu, 16 Dec 2010 03:53:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-12-15T20:16:22.896-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">7200</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">seagate</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">storage</category><title>Seagate introduces first 2.5-inch 1TB enterprise hard drive</title><description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Momentus-7200RPM-Internal-ST9500420AS-Bare/dp/B001R4BBLU?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=ts041-20&amp;amp;link_code=bil&amp;amp;camp=213689&amp;amp;creative=392969&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Seagate Momentus 7200 500GB 7200RPM SATA 3Gb/s 16MB Cache 2.5 Inch Internal NB Hard Drive ST9500420AS-Bare Drive&quot; src=&quot;http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?MarketPlace=US&amp;amp;ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;amp;ID=AsinImage&amp;amp;WS=1&amp;amp;Format=_SL160_&amp;amp;ASIN=B001R4BBLU&amp;amp;tag=ts041-20&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;1&quot; src=&quot;http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=ts041-20&amp;amp;l=bil&amp;amp;camp=213689&amp;amp;creative=392969&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;a=B001R4BBLU&quot; style=&quot;border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;&quot; width=&quot;1&quot; /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://tekshare.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;Seagate&lt;/a&gt; announced today that it is introducing the industry&#39;s first  2.5-inch professional-class hard drive with a maximum capacity of &lt;a href=&quot;http://tekshare.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;1TB&lt;/a&gt;.  The Constellation.2 is aimed at small and midsize businesses and  enterprise data centers.&lt;br /&gt;
The 15mm z-height, &lt;a href=&quot;http://tekshare.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;7200&lt;/a&gt;-rpm Constellation.2 was designed for system  builders and OEMs to implement in a variety of applications in Direct  Attached &lt;a href=&quot;http://tekshare.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;Storage&lt;/a&gt;, Network Attached Storage, and Storage Area Network  environments. Seagate claims that the Constellation.2 can attain  sequential and random read speeds of up to 115 Mbps of maximum sustained  throughput in multiple-drive systems.&lt;br /&gt;
Seagate also says that the Constellation.2&#39;s operating power is under  6.4 watts, with enhanced PowerChoice options that can incorporate  additional power savings up to 54 percent (as low as 1.1 watt, per a  data sheet for the drive) during slow or idle periods. The drives&#39;  temperature is kept low through the use of Workload Management &lt;a href=&quot;http://tekshare.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;technology&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
The Constellation.2 is available in capacities ranging from 250GB to  1TB, with 6-Gbps &lt;a href=&quot;http://tekshare.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;SATA&lt;/a&gt; or 6-Gbps SAS interfaces, and with a  government-grade Self-Encrypting Drive option that maintains data  security through the full life of the drive. In addition to these  features, the Constellation.2 also implements the new T10 Protection  Information standard as well as increase in reliability to 1.4 million  hours mean time between failures. Seagate also estimates the drive&#39;s  annualized failure rate at 0.62 percent, and says that represents the  industry&#39;s highest level of reliability for a 24x7 nearline drive.&lt;br /&gt;
According to Seagate, Constellation.2 drives come with a five-year  warranty and are now shipping to OEMs such as Dell, and the worldwide  distribution channel.&lt;br /&gt;

The reviews around the web so far seem to peg the single-GPU card ahead of both the GTX 480 and HD 5870, and is based on the same GF110 architecture as the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;GTX 580&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, with a little less of everything.&lt;br /&gt;
As you can expect with the newer architecture, the GTX 570 offers better  performance at lower heat (using the 580’s vapour-cooling system) and  power consumption, apart from offering more choice at the top-end of the  market.&lt;br /&gt;
The card also apparently offers great overclocking headroom, and some  factory overclocked versions offer 810MHz core clock and 1620MHz shader  clock and 3960MHz memory clock speeds out of the box. &lt;br /&gt;
The DX11 GeForce GTX 570 is interestingly positioned in terms of  hardware, falling in between the GTX 480 and &lt;a href=&quot;http://tekshare.blogspot.com%20/&quot; style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;GTX 480&lt;/a&gt;, though it has the  GF110’s more efficient design. See how it fits below:&lt;br /&gt;

So, if you were excited about Nvidia’s new top-end performance, but  didn’t have the heart to spend on the GTX 580 or settle for the GTX 480,  here’s the GTX 570. Keep your fingers crossed, and maybe you’ll get a  GTX 565 soon.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;Over at the red side of Christmas, December 15th is said to be the new rumoured date for the launch of the Cayman Pro - &lt;a href=&quot;http://tekshare.blogspot.com%20/&quot; style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;HD 6950&lt;/a&gt; and Cayman XT - &lt;a href=&quot;http://tekshare.blogspot.com%20/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;HD 6970&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; single-GPU cards, and the world is certainly holding its breath till then. The HD 6970 has a rumoured price of $450, which pegs it at a great deal less than the GTX 580.</description><link>http://tekshare.blogspot.com/2010/12/nvidia-launches-its-latest-fermi-gpu.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (aNIL)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3565885942472933424.post-3957492153065979534</guid><pubDate>Sun, 12 Dec 2010 06:41:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-12-11T22:49:24.885-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">ipad</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">iphone</category><title>Has Apple’s iPad killed the netbook?</title><description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/Apple-iPad-MB292LL-Tablet-16GB/dp/B002C7481G?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=ts041-20&amp;amp;link_code=bil&amp;amp;camp=213689&amp;amp;creative=392969&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Apple iPad MB292LL/A Tablet (16GB, Wifi)&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; src=&quot;http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?MarketPlace=US&amp;amp;ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;amp;ID=AsinImage&amp;amp;WS=1&amp;amp;Format=_SL160_&amp;amp;ASIN=B002C7481G&amp;amp;tag=ts041-20&quot; width=&quot;151&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;1&quot; src=&quot;http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=ts041-20&amp;amp;l=bil&amp;amp;camp=213689&amp;amp;creative=392969&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;a=B002C7481G&quot; style=&quot;border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;&quot; width=&quot;1&quot; /&gt;&quot;For months we&#39;ve been hearing that tablet PCs - led by Apple&#39;s&lt;a href=&quot;http://tekshare.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt; iPad&lt;/a&gt; -  are hurting netbook sales in a big way,&quot; Jeff Bertolucci reports for PC  World. &quot;But are they really?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;For now, touchscreen tablets appear to be luring consumers away from &lt;a href=&quot;http://tekshare.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;netbooks&lt;/a&gt; but analysts believe in the long term, netbooks will hold their  own in an increasingly fragmented mobile device market, particularly as  computer makers address user complaints by enhancing netbooks with  faster processors and new capabilities,&quot; Bertolucci reports.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Netbook shipments in the US fell 34 percent from the third quarter of  2009 to the same period in 2010, according to research firm Gartner. The  likely culprit? A certain tablet from&lt;a href=&quot;http://tekshare.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt; Apple&lt;/a&gt; comes to mind,&quot; Bertolucci  reports.  &quot;&quot;&lt;br /&gt;

This enables the  user the power of four-way scrolling, which includes forward and  backward webpage scrolling and up/down document scrolling.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;iframe align=&quot;left&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; marginheight=&quot;0&quot; marginwidth=&quot;0&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot; src=&quot;http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=ts041-20&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;p=8&amp;amp;l=bpl&amp;amp;asins=B003YFIX3Y&amp;amp;fc1=000000&amp;amp;IS2=1&amp;amp;lt1=_blank&amp;amp;m=amazon&amp;amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;amp;bc1=FFFFFF&amp;amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;amp;f=ifr&quot; style=&quot;align: left; height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;The presence of advanced laser technology at the bottom of the mouse,  allows its operation on any type of surface with superior tracking &amp;amp;  higher precision than the regular &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thinkdigit.com/latest/optical_mouse.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;optical mice&lt;/a&gt;.  With a single click of the OptoWheel known as “the Blue eye”, one can  easily scan through the documents or skip webpages at the wink of an  eye. At the same time, one can stop the scrolling function with the  second click of the OptoWheel.&lt;br /&gt;
With such unique and innovative features, which are well complemented  by a stylish design, the Traveler 355 Laser makes a strong selling  statement for a normal PC user, as well as a hard-core gamer - who looks  for something sophisticated for that killer edge in the modern FPS  games! If you were wondering about the most important factor - price,  that could seal your buying decision, then you would be overwhelmed to  know that it is rather affordably priced at Rs. 645.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;iframe align=&quot;left&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; marginheight=&quot;0&quot; marginwidth=&quot;0&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot; src=&quot;http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=ts041-20&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;p=8&amp;amp;l=bpl&amp;amp;asins=B00365F6LE&amp;amp;fc1=000000&amp;amp;IS2=1&amp;amp;lt1=_blank&amp;amp;m=amazon&amp;amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;amp;bc1=FFFFFF&amp;amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;amp;f=ifr&quot; style=&quot;align: left; height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&quot;The iPad is one example of the many price distortions caused by  Brazil&#39;s elaborate industrial policy,&quot; Kassai and Tornaghi report.   &quot;Companies that don&#39;t manufacture goods in Brazil have to pay stiff  tariffs if they want to sell to the nation&#39;s consumers. Brazil levies a  60 percent tax on the iPad and as much as 90 percent on imported cars. A  blouse that retails for $49.50 at The Gap in the U.S. goes for $82 in  Brazil at non-Gap outlets. &#39;Brazilians sometimes pay luxury-good prices  for second-rate items,&#39; says tax specialist André Mendes Moreira, who  writes a widely read financial column and tracks the impact of import  taxes on everything from cars to champagne. &#39;The consumer is at a clear  disadvantage.&#39;&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kassai and Tornaghi report, &quot;Brazil imposes these stiff taxes on imports  to promote local industry and encourage foreign manufacturers to set up  factories inside the country. Samsung Electronics, for example, has  been manufacturing locally since 1986. It now makes the Galaxy Tab, its  answer to the iPad, at one of its Brazilian plants. In contrast to  Samsung, Apple is a holdout. In March, Brazilian media reported that  Chief Executive Officer Steve Jobs was asked by the city of Rio de  Janeiro to set up the country&#39;s first Apple Store in time for the 2020  Olympics. Jobs refused, citing the superhigh taxation of important  electronics.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;

The latest release, perhaps not as significant or as controversial as the previous Ubuntu 10.04 release, which was a long-term release that redefined the UI, however comes with a number of new features that make it one of the simplest Linux distributions for the Linux newcomer.&lt;iframe align=&quot;left&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; marginheight=&quot;0&quot; marginwidth=&quot;0&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot; src=&quot;http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=ts041-20&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;p=8&amp;amp;l=bpl&amp;amp;asins=0672333449&amp;amp;fc1=000000&amp;amp;IS2=1&amp;amp;lt1=_blank&amp;amp;m=amazon&amp;amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;amp;bc1=FFFFFF&amp;amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;amp;f=ifr&quot; style=&quot;align: left; height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ubuntu is most popularly available as a live installable CD in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. If you want a more configurable installer, you can download the alternate CD that includes more applications and a text-based installer. There is also the DVD version that bundles a larger number of applications with it. For Windows users there is &quot;Wubi&quot; a Windows application that can install Ubuntu on the free space in a Windows partition while Windows it running. We used a 64-bit standard desktop live CD.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When you boot from the live CD, it gives you the option to either test Ubuntu, or simply begin the install process. Even if you fully intend to install Ubuntu, we recommend that you choose to try it instead. You can then launch the installer from the live Ubuntu instance. The advantage in doing so is that you will have a functional Linux desktop up and running while the installation is going on. You can check your mail, listen to music, watch YouTube videos, or play games while the installation goes on in the background.</description><link>http://tekshare.blogspot.com/2010/12/reviewubuntu-1010-maverick-meerkat.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (aNIL)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3565885942472933424.post-7308933991593713836</guid><pubDate>Sun, 05 Dec 2010 07:13:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-12-05T04:39:06.553-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">iphone</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">mac</category><title>Dropkick released for Mac and iPhone</title><description>To-do list apps are a dime a dozen, but most of them over do it with  complicated interfaces. You end up spending more time organizing your  tasks than actually getting things done. A new app called Dropkick aims  to change all of that. Its simple interface focuses on the essentials,  leaving out all the distractions. The result is a to-do list that  finally just might help you get things done.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dropkick works great on either iPhone or Mac as a standalone, but it  really shines when synced together. Syncing happens securely over the  internet so you can easily add tasks at your desk and pick up where you  left off on-the-go.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Dropkick is available as a free trial from &lt;a href=&quot;http://dropkickapp.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;dropkickapp.com&lt;/a&gt;.  Upgrading to the full version is a $1.99 in-app purchase for the iPhone  version and $4.99 for the Mac version. The application is compatible  with iOS 3.0 or later and Macs running OS X 10.5 or 10.6.</description><link>http://tekshare.blogspot.com/2010/12/dropkick-released-for-mac-and-iphone.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (aNIL)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3565885942472933424.post-983310766820489875</guid><pubDate>Sun, 05 Dec 2010 06:54:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-12-04T22:54:50.174-08:00</atom:updated><title>Zynga buys rising mobile game star Newtoy</title><description>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://drop.ndtv.com/gadgets/imgs/f/zynga-logo.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;276&quot; src=&quot;http://drop.ndtv.com/gadgets/imgs/f/zynga-logo.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Zynga, king of online social networking games, is following its fans  onto smartphones and other mobile devices with the acquisition Thursday  of rising social play star Newtoy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The companies did not disclose  financial terms of the deal that brought the Texas-based startup behind  the hot &quot;Games With Friends&quot; franchise into Zynga&#39;s stable of studios.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;The  &#39;Games With Friends&#39; franchise is the best social game experience  available on mobile today and we are excited to welcome the Newtoy team  to the Zynga family,&quot; said Zynga founder and chief executive Mark  Pincus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Newtoy titles include &quot;Words With Friends&quot; and &quot;Chess  With Friends&quot; games played between people using mobile gadgets and text  messages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Newtoy co-founder Paul Bettner will manage the  operation, renamed &quot;Zynga With Friends,&quot; and answer to Zynga senior vice  president of mobile David Ko.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The acquisition is part of a Zynga  strategy to expand its popularity from online social networks visited  at desktop computers to the booming smart gadget market.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
More than 215 million people play Zynga games such as &quot;FarmVille&quot; and Mafia Wars&quot; monthly, according to Ko.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;We  want to offer those users the ability to play those games anywhere,&quot; Ko  said in a conference call with reporters. &quot;Our users are asking for  it.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Newtoy purchase marks the seventh acquisition by San Francisco-based Zynga in about as many months.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;We&#39;re reinventing the way people are social on their mobile devices,&quot; said Bettner.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;The  Zynga With Friends Studio will build on the Newtoy legacy of creating  approachable, highly social games that are accessible to anyone from  anywhere.&quot;</description><link>http://tekshare.blogspot.com/2010/12/zynga-buys-rising-mobile-game-star.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (aNIL)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3565885942472933424.post-6606166605669450913</guid><pubDate>Sun, 05 Dec 2010 06:37:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-12-04T22:37:17.026-08:00</atom:updated><title>Smartphones and Tablets to Take Over in 2011, Researchers Say</title><description>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://drop.ndtv.com/gadgets/imgs/f/tablet_and_smartphones.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;276&quot; src=&quot;http://drop.ndtv.com/gadgets/imgs/f/tablet_and_smartphones.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The research firm IDC predicts that in 2011, computing s third major  technology wave will become mainstream, when computers held in one s  hand   smartphones and tablets   really take over and start putting  personal computers in the rearview mirror.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Next year, the  research firm says in a report published Thursday, there will be 330  million smartphones sold worldwide and 42 million media tablets. Tablet  sales are expected to more than double next year, and to keep climbing,   breezing by netbooks, the phenomenon of two years ago,  said Frank  Gens, chief analyst for IDC.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The PC-centric era is over,  the  IDC report says. Within 18 months, it forecasts, non-PC devices capable  of running software applications will outsell PCs. In tablets, IDC adds,  Apple s iPad will remain the leader, but lower-cost tablets will begin  making inroads, especially as demand for tablets really takes off in  emerging markets.&lt;br /&gt;
IDC uses a hardware-centered definition of  technology eras   devices that open up computing to large new groups of  users. So, by its definition, the first era began in the 1960s, when  many people got access to computers, seated at mainframe terminals. Next  came personal computers in the 1980s, and mobile devices that are  full-fledged computers were next.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mainstream adoption, according  to IDC, is when a technology moves well beyond 15 percent or so of the  market. In 2011, for example, IDC predicts half of the 2.1 billion  people who regularly use the Internet will do so using non-PC devices.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Other  technologies, IDC says, are going mainstream as well, notably the  business use of cloud computing   applications and services accessed  remotely over the Internet. The trend is already under way, and all the  major technology companies are marketing their cloud-computing offerings  relentlessly   even though crisply defined cloud strategies seem  scarce.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But 2011, Mr. Gens said, is a crucial year for technology  companies to get their cloud strategies in place. So-called public  clouds   shared by a wide range of users, whether consumers or companies    will be  the dominant technology platform for the next 20 years, Mr.  Gens said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the corporate market, Microsoft, salesforce.com,  Google, I.B.M., Oracle and others are vying to supply cloud applications  to businesses.  These public cloud marketplaces will be the next  generation of enterprise software,  Mr. Gens said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Indeed, 80 percent of new software offerings will be available as cloud services in 2011, according to IDC.</description><link>http://tekshare.blogspot.com/2010/12/smartphones-and-tablets-to-take-over-in.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (aNIL)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3565885942472933424.post-4650219490820208552</guid><pubDate>Sat, 04 Dec 2010 15:30:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-12-04T07:30:21.339-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Andro A60</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">android</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">android 2.1</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">micromax</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Micromax A60</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Micromax Andro A60</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Micromax Android</category><title>Micromax Andro A60 now launched, Android 2.1 with 2.8-inch touchscreen for Rs. 6,999</title><description>Micromax has released the Andro A60 for Rs. 6,999, and you can expect it  to hit major retail stores over the next few days.

&lt;a href=&quot;http://zapp5.staticworld.net/news/graphics/168051-google_chrome_logo_original.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://zapp5.staticworld.net/news/graphics/168051-google_chrome_logo_original.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Alas, it&#39;s not to be.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on whom you follow, Google&#39;s long-anticipated &lt;a href=&quot;http://infoworld.com/category/tags/google-chrome-os&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Chrome OS&lt;/a&gt; could make its debut in the next couple of weeks, or the next couple of months. In mid-November, at the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.infoworld.com/t/internet/web-20-summit-focuses-mapping-net-economys-points-control-074&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Web 2.0 Summit&lt;/a&gt;,   Google CEO Eric Schmidt said Chrome OS would hit &quot;in the next few   months.&quot; A week later, Chrome OS head honcho Sundar Pichai was quoted in   the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/25/technology/25chrome.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;New York Times&lt;/a&gt;, saying Google would &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pcworld.com/article/212436/rumors_the_mythical_google_chrome_os_netbook_is_coming_update_media_event_announced.html?tk=rel_news&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;launch a lightweight netbook with Chrome OS&lt;/a&gt; by the end of the year.&lt;br /&gt;
Although few heads will turn at the sight of a Chrome OS netbook -- we&#39;re not talking &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.infoworld.com/d/mobilize/the-ipad-2s-new-features-which-rumors-are-realistic-159&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;iPad 2&lt;/a&gt; here -- the technology involved represents a radical departure from anything IT shops have seen in many years.&lt;br /&gt;
If you were around the computer industry 10 or 15 years ago, you may recall Larry Ellison&#39;s infatuation with the concept of a &lt;i&gt;thin client&lt;/i&gt;:   a minimalist chunk of hardware that sits on a desk, inextricably   tethered to a server. The server provides all of the brains and most of   the storage; the thin client only exists to interact with the server.&lt;br /&gt;
I tend to think of Chrome OS as implementing a &lt;i&gt;gaunt client&lt;/i&gt;  -- thin to the point of cadaverous -- tethered to the Web. No desktop   applications. No backup programs. No UI tweaks. No tuning. No utilities.   Just the Web, the browser, and the Web, and the browser.&lt;br /&gt;
More than a year ago, Google posted a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QRO3gKj3qw&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;YouTube video&lt;/a&gt;  that explains Chrome OS&#39;s charm: Your netbook runs the browser, and   that&#39;s it -- simple, fast, no layers of overhead, no dark corners for   malware, just the browser on metal. More than that, Chrome OS doesn&#39;t   store any of your data or settings on the computer -- it&#39;s all in the   cloud. You can flit from one netbook to another and absolutely   everything travels with you. If your netbook breaks down, pick up   another one. Somebody steals it, who cares? If you&#39;re interrupted in the   middle of doing something, you can pick right up where you left off by   using any other Chrome OS device.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://zapp5.staticworld.net/news/graphics/168433-chrome_os_thumb_original.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://zapp5.staticworld.net/news/graphics/168433-chrome_os_thumb_original.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Google&#39;s given a lot of thought to the interface, as well. More than a year ago, Sundar Pichai posted another &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANMrzw7JFzA&amp;amp;feature=channel&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;YouTube video&lt;/a&gt;  with all sorts of details -- application tabs, dockable pop-up panels   -- which may or may not end up in the product we&#39;ll see in a few weeks.   &lt;br /&gt;
At the same time, Google released Chrome OS&#39;s source code, called the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.chromium.org/chromium-projects&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Chromium OS Project&lt;/a&gt;.   Developers have been hacking away at it for a year. Chrome OS is from   Google, and it&#39;s focused on hardware specifically built to Google&#39;s   specifications. Chromium OS may run on many different boxes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pcworld.com/article/168033/google_chrome_os_does_the_world_need_another_operating_system.html?tk=rel_news&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;That  was a year ago.&lt;/a&gt;  Since then, we&#39;ve heard very little from the Chrome OS  team --  remarkable because it appears as if Dell, HP, Lenovo, Acer,  Asus,  Toshiba, and other hardware manufacturers are actively bulding  machines  using Chrome OS. Since then the world&#39;s changed, leading to  much  speculation about how Chrome OS may (or may not!) have adapted to  the  meteoric rise of the iPad and Google&#39;s own &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.infoworld.com/t/google%20android&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Android&lt;/a&gt;. By many accounts, netbook sales are hurting, with the iPad rushing in where Windows-based PCs feared to tread.&lt;br /&gt;
So  how, you may ask, is Chrome OS different from Android? They  were  developed by two entirely different teams, working from  diametrically  opposed starting points. As Eric Schmidt said during his  Web 2.0  presentation, Android is designed for touch devices and Chrome  OS is  designed for keyboard devices. Of course, that immediately begs  the  question of which operating system is intended for use on phones  with  keypads or slates with touchscreens -- a distinction that will  certainly  fade in the next year or two.&lt;br /&gt;
I wonder if Schmidt ever dreamed  he would face a situation where  two of his open source products will  fight each other for market share.  It seems inevitable, at this point.&lt;br /&gt;
We may have already seen a telltale sign of Chrome OS adoption. Net MarketShare &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.netmarketshare.com/browser-market-share.aspx?qprid=0&amp;amp;qptimeframe=M&amp;amp;qpsp=142&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;reports&lt;/a&gt; a big jump in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.infoworld.com/category/tags/google-chrome-0&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Chrome browser&lt;/a&gt;  usage, from 8.47 percent in October to 9.27 percent in November,   stealing business primarily from Internet Explorer. Is it possible that   part of that big uptick came from Chrome OS testers? In a similar vein,   is the Chrome browser buzz likely to spill over to Chrome OS?&lt;br /&gt;
This much is clear. Google&#39;s aiming for the enterprise. That &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/25/technology/25chrome.html?pagewanted=2&amp;amp;_r=1&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;New York Times&lt;/a&gt;  article says Google&#39;s VP for Chrome Engineering, Linus Upson, claimed   60 percent of businesses could immediately replace their Windows   machines with Chrome OS. Of course, that&#39;s ridiculous (and I have to   wonder out loud if Upson was quoted correctly). But just as Larry   Ellison was shooting at Microsoft&#39;s corporate accounts with his thin   clients, so too is Google aiming at Microsoft with its gaunt client.&lt;br /&gt;
The crazy thing is, it just might work.&lt;br /&gt;
