How Much can you Give in Love....???

Have you ever been in love?Loved someone so much you give your everything? Mind, body, effort, time and soul?

When I was younger I met this boy that for some reason I get so addicted with. Back then, I don't know what to call that intense feeling that made me do all those stupid stuff just to make him notice me but LOVE. I would follow him, shout his name in the middle of the streets for all the world to know that I desperately would love to be notice by him and when he did, I did blush. Back then, I would make poems, simple notes and letters ( telling him that I want him to be the father of my would be children, LOL) and I never pass any single occasions to greet him, his birthday, Christmas, new year valentines etc. As I was reminiscing this things I really can't help but to smile thinking I was so stupid..LOL! Right now, i have come to evaluate my feelings for him.. I've already outgrown my feelings for him and yes I admit.. that back then.. I really loved him.. I really did..And I realize what I have for that boy.. What I have for him back then was a puppy love.. an innocent love..

I never expected a relationship,I did not asked for commitment.. All I want that time was to be notice. Yes, I've dreamed to be with him cause back then, I'm happy doing it.. dreaming of him.. and it's as simple as that... no more reasoning out.. no conflict..

But as the years past me by, as I get a clear picture of what the real world is, my outlook in life and love has changed..It is no more simple, it is complicated..I already want a commitment, I want a relationship.
Now as i end up with this thinking I ask myself, what can I do for love? A very simple question but it gives me a hard time answering it.. It's hard cause there's no more question here if I'm still young or a more mature person..the clear question here is what can I do for love?

I'm not sure if my answer would be right or not but the only sure thing is that.. I would give my everything for love..And I really mean everything cause for me, it isn't a matter of how much you can give out in a relationship but how much effort you've shown just for the relationship to work out. Besides, it isn't just for me, it is about my happiness, it's about my future..

Now here is the second big question, what if after you've done everything, give him everything, sacrifice all that you have and all that you are, it isn't yet enough for him? What if he still can't love you enough to make him stay? Enough to make him share his tomorrow with you? Heck! I've been hearing all this lines over and over again.. " It's not you, it's me..", "You don't deserve me, you deserve someone better..", "You are better off without me.." . What are you gonna do?
For sure, for sometime you'll self pity.. coz you'll think you're broken..You'll think there's nothing left for you cause when he left you're lifeless.. He is your life.. But don't you think it will be more foolish to cry for the things you can no longer re arrange? Yes it is okay to cry, to mourn , to grieve over your dead heart, it is natural.. but what is not normal is when you stop living just because he decided to end up the relationship.. Stops breathing because he lets you feel you aren't worth anything..It isn't yet the end of the world! Instead of crying your heart out, why don't you just look for something that would divert your attention on what happen? Go out, meet up with your old friends, relax.. go shopping or window shopping. Make yourself beautiful than the way you are even before he met you.Make him realize hat when he dump you, he made the biggest mistake of his life..that he was the one who loss more cause you loved him more than anyone could ever do. Make the happy memories with him your inspiration to love someone again in the right time and the bad memories your motivation to totally move forward. In time, you'll see, all the wounds will heal, all the scars would vanish and all that is left for you is the brand new better you.

What would make the struggles more worthwhile is that when you realize that you are perfectly fine without the person you thought you needed the most. You will realize that it is only God,s one way of telling you to be strong, to hold on and to be ready cause he will be sending the Right one for you.. The right person who will give you the world just to make you happy.. The one who will make you the queen of his life and the person who will make the journey in your life worthwhile.. The one who'll be very much willing to hold your hand until you reach the sunset of life.

Now if someone again asked you the same question, never be afraid to answer with conviction.. Yes, you already did, love someone so much..and although it didn't work out the way you expected it to be at least you know to yourself that you did everything to make the relationship to last. You'll even be prouder to yourself cause you know you are ready again to try and try.. until you succeed in having that someone who will share your heart and life with.. Just have faith that everything will turn out to be as God planned it to be and with His providence, in the end.. you will be happy...

Apple developing glasses-free 3D and holographic display technology........!!!

A patent filed in 2006 shows Apple’s interest in the 3D realms, showing a new type of three dimensional and holographic glasses-free display. A lot has changed since 2006 since, and while the patent probably had concentrated on television, monitors and even projection systems, its present applications in smaller, mobile segment are certainly appealing to Apple, the company behind the bestselling iPhone and iPad devices.

The display technology supposedly uses lens-like bumps on the screen that deflect stereoscopic images from each pixel into the right and left eyes of the viewer. While it does seem like the viewing angles would be quite limited with this approach, and not ideal for multiple viewers, Apple’s patent claims the display combined with 3D imaging technology would be able to track the movements of multiple viewers and manipulate the deflected image to keep it crispy and autostereoscopic for all.

The combination apparently will also allow for holographic images to projected, or at least “pseudo-holographic” images:

"An exceptional aspect of the invention is that it can produce viewing experiences that are virtually indistinguishable from viewing a true hologram. Such a "pseudo-holographic" image is a direct result of the ability to track and respond to observer movements. 

By tracking movements of the eye locations of the observer, the left and right 3D sub-images are adjusted in response to the tracked eye movements to produce images that mimic a real hologram. The invention can accordingly continuously project a 3D image to the observer that recreates the actual viewing experience that the observer would have when moving in space around and in the vicinity of various virtual objects displayed therein. This is the same experiential viewing effect that is afforded by a hologram. 

It allows the observer, for example, to move around a virtual object and top observe multiple sides from different angles." 

While Apple is an unlikely company to beat out the display giants in the business, if it perfects the glasses-free 3D technology - and as an added bonus: holographic images - it might just have a jumpstart in the industry, especially the content providers.

COWON launches phone-like PMP - the Android 2.1 based D3 Plenue..................!!!

Korean audio system designers COWON have launched a new PMP that looks just like a phone, and runs Android 2.1 to boot – called the D3 Plenue. The news comes in the wake of Samsung’s rumoured forthcoming launch of Galaxy S derived and Froyo-based PMP – the Galaxy Player.

Apart from the lack of Froyo and actual Android Market access, the D3 Plenue is pretty well-endowed, with a 1GHz processor, a 3.7-inch AMOLED screen with 800x480 resolution, HDMI out and 1080p HD playback, Wi-Fi b/g, accelerometer, microphone, FM radio, microSD expansion, 1200 mAh battery (removable), T-DMB tuner, Bluetooth 3.0, and even a pair of cameras – 3.2MP and VGA (front-facing) for video calling.

 

 

 It also supports lossless audio formats such as FLAC, M4A and Monkey's Audio, and comes bundled with SoundAlive and JetEffect 3.0 for equalizers and other audio enhancements. A wide variety of video formats and codecs are also supported, from AVI, to Xvid/DivX and 3GP. The phone-like PMP has for now only been launched in Korea, but unless it’s priced very competitively if and when it launches elsewhere, we don’t see the COWON D3 Plenue doing better than a mid-to-low range Android phone with its form factor, 120g weight, and non-Market apps.

The Value Of A Smile....................!!!

 

The value of a smile is priceless, yet it is the cheapest, easiest, most rewarding and most sincere gift to anyone that crosses your path. A smile makes a person's day, anybody's day even a stranger's day. A smile is infectious. Start infecting people with your smile today. 

A smile is nature's best antidote for discouragement. It brings rest to the weary, sunshine to those who are sad, and hope to those who are hopeless and defeated.

A smile is so valuable that it can't be bought, begged, borrowed, or taken away against your will. You have to be willing to give a smile away before it can do anyone else any good.

So if someone is too tired or grumpy to flash you a smile, let him have one of yours anyway. Nobody needs a smile as much as the person who has none to give.

Value.............!!!

A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?"
Hands started going up.
He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumple the dollar bill up.
He then asked, "Who still wants it?"
Still the hands were up in the air.
"Well," he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.
He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air.

"My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20.  

Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way.

We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. You are special - Don't ever forget it!

Trust in God. Always........!!!

And God gave me Difficulties to make me strong.
I asked for Wisdom.........
And God gave me Problems to solve.
I asked for Prosperity.........

Facebook passes Yahoo to become third-largest website............!!!

 The holiday season came one day early for Facebook this year, as Santa bestowed the company the title of "third largest website ever." New metrics from comScore indicate that Facebook has finally passed Yahoo for third place, pulling in 648 million unique visitors for November 2010 versus Yahoo's 630 million.

Only Microsoft, with 869 million unique visitors, and Google, with 970 million, stand in Facebook's way at this point. Yahoo drops down to fourth, though that should really come as little surprise--Facebook has been chipping away at the search giant for some time now.

As of December 2009, Facebook's pageviews were already up to 193 billion versus Yahoo's 100 billion (and Microsoft's 109 billion, to note). As well, November metrics from comScore indicate that Facebook serves up more than twice as much display advertising as Yahoo—23 percent of all online ads within the U.S. compared to Yahoo's 11 percent.

Facebook leaped over Yahoo in a batch of September comScore metrics related to U.S. video properties. As of August 2010, Facebook delivered video to 58.5 million users versus Yahoo's 53.9, representing a total of 243 million viewing sessions to Yahoo's 229 million. The only metric where Yahoo actually beat Facebook out was on viewing time—Yahoo users viewed an average of 31.6 minutes of online video per person versus Facebook users' 20.5 minutes per person.

Yahoo nevertheless beats out Facebook when isolated to just U.S. visitors only. In this, the company is the top website on the Internet with 181 million unique monthly visitors. Facebook, at 152 million, sits in fourth place on this ranking.

Narrowing the category to search engines only, Yahoo still trails Google at a rate of 16 percent to 66.2 percent for U.S. search engine market share. Its second place ranking is a bit tentative as well, for November 2010 metrics from comScore show that Microsoft, at 11.8 percent, is slowly gaining ground based on October 2010 results.

"Our greatest competitor probably is Facebook, more so than Google," said Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz at a Bloomberg event earlier this month. "They're a hot site, but there's room for more than one of anything."

Samsung to show off Galaxy Player - a Galaxy S derived Froyo-based PMP - at CES 2011............!!!

Seems like Samsung is following in Apple’s footsteps once again, and plans to release a portable media player that is just as subtly emasculated as the iPod Touch is with respect to the iPhone 4. It will supposedly be shown off by the Korean giant at the upcoming CES 2011 show, where Motorola will show off its Android Honeycomb tablet.

Known as the Samsung Galaxy Player, the device will be physically and internally similar to the Samsung Galaxy S, apparently retaining the same 9.9mm thickness while doing away with 2G and 3G connectivity, and the high res rear camera.

While this makes it a fair bit thicker than the razor slim 7.2mm iPod Touch, it certainly isn’t going to be uncomfortable to hold or carry around. As for other features, the device will sport a fully-funcitonal Android 2.2 Froyo operating system, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 3.0. making the player just as multi-faceted (and without the dependence of iTunes, maybe a little more) a device as the iPod Touch, doing everything from email to gaming to productivity.

The device will have access to both the Android Market and the Samsung Apps stores and will also have a GPS sensor on board, something the iPod Touch doesn’t have.
The Galaxy Player will feature a 4-inch SuperLCD screen (800x480) instead of the Galaxy S’ Super AMOLED screen, but then again, that’s expected, with Samsung pushing the former technology as the future of displays. It will sport a 3.2MP camera at the rear, with a front-facing camera for video calls.
 

Logitech G19 Gaming Keyboard [Review]......!!!

The G19 is a costly keyboard that relies on software installed on your system for most of its magic. With the drivers installed, and on operating systems for which the driver is not available its special features don't function at all. The display is underutilized, especially by the very games it is meant to support.

Pros

• Inbuilt LCD display
  
• Macro keys can be programmed on the fly
  
• Changable back-light colors
• Windows-ley disable lock
• Good software configuration interface
• Support for Windows SlideShow
  

Cons

• No support for Linux
• Severely limited functionality without drivers
• Limited support in Games, display is underutilized

 The Logitech G19 is a unique keyboard in some ways, for one it has a colour LCD screen built right into it, and is the only keyboard we know of that includes its own adapter for extra power! It is the highest-end gaming keyboard available from Logitech, and for the most part is a Logitech G510 with a colour display instead of a monochrome one. Oh and it costs around Rs. 10,995.

The keyboard looks and feels great, it's not one of those annoying compact layout keyboards that mush together keys to save space. The build quality is quite good as well, though we noticed that the back-lighting is not aligned on some keys, the "Tab" and "Caps Lock" keys particularly. They don’t appear fully illuminated unless viewed directly from above ‒ an unlikely scenario. While this is a minor blemish, it is not expected of a keyboard that costs as much as this. This keyboard is rather large, with perhaps more than the standard spacing between keys, and an extra two columns of macro keys (or "G-keys") available that can be programmed to perform any function.
The 12 macro keys ‒ labelled G1 to G12 ‒ can be programmed to perform three different functions under three different modes. In essence you have 36 combinations possible. The mode keys appear at the top-left of the keyboard, and each mode can be assigned a different back-lighting color so you can tell at once which mode is active. The back-light supports virtually any colour.

One of the best features of the macro keys is that they can be assigned a function straight from the keyboard itself as long as the software is installed and running. Using the macro record key, you can assign a key-combination, or even a series of keys to any G-key even while in the middle of a game. You can quickly capture new combo moves with the feature without leaving the game.

Like other G-Series keyboards the G19 features a lock to turn off the Windows key while you are gaming, so accidentally pressing it while gaming is a preventable disaster. It would be great if the activation of a gaming profile could automatically trigger this switch, but such a thing is not supported, since this is a hardware toggle. The G19 also has a set of multimedia keys for controlling volume and media playback. For volume control the drum is particularly useful for quickly changing the volume in a natural manner.

  The Logitech software itself is a little disorganized. As the owner of a Logitech gaming mouse, I now have about four different applications installed for managing the two devices.  The recently released "Logitech Gaming Software 7.0"  is a huge step up from the earlier version that we did most of the testing with. The new software has a unified interface to manage all you keyboards features, while the older one has two different applications for the same.
The software shows you an image of the keyboard where you can click on the LCD to manage LCD applications, you can click on the mode keys to change the back-light colors, or on the G-keys to configure macros.

You can configure which applets to run on the device; a number of them come installed with the device software, including a clock, a picture viewer, a media player, a performance monitor, etc. Also included is a YouTube player that lets you browse YouTube and play videos on the device without interacting with your computer. Beware that each applet you enable on the LCD display consumes resources on your own computer as well!

You can toggle LCD applets on or off from here and control display settings

Third party applications can also display data on the display, for example Media Player Classic shows information of currently playing media. The display is also supports Windows SlideShow, a Windows feature that supports displaying widgets on secondary displays. You can download Windows SlideShow widgets from the Microsoft website and display them on the device.

Here comes the important part, applications need to support the keyboard to display data on it. The Logitech software does not latch into a game to show it on the screen, instead, the game or any other application will need to include code that supports displaying data on this keyboard. For this purpose there is an SDK Logitech has made available, although you need to be a developer to use it. There are an increasing number of third-party plugins for media player etc that can use the display.

We were disappointed by how games used the display, considering that is the primary purpose of this gaming keyboard, The games we tried didn't use the colour display to the fullest. While playing Dragon Age: Origins, the only data displayed are the character stats, Civilization IV displays the event log ‒ not very useful. Since the games need to support the keyboard, there is little hope for better utilization of the display in older games and most of these games seem to be designed to send data to the older monochrome character display LCD, so the extra money on the colour display is wasted.
Other than that, the software lets you define the back-light colours for each mode, the bavk-light colour changes instantly as you change it in the software so you can get exactly the shade you want.

The mechanism for defining key bindings and macros for the G-keys is especially well done. The software downloads profiles for a number of games (nearly 200), and can be configured to automatically select the profile when the game is launched ‒ if you provide the game's location. With a game profile loaded, you can directly assign in-game actions to your keys, instead of the actual key combination! So instead of setting the G6 key to "c" for crouching in your game you can set it directly to something like "Crouch" or "Next Weapon". The assigning of commands etc is all done using a simple drag-drop interface.

You can drag actions on the lefr tot he keys on the right to assign them

The command editor lets you assign functions, keystrokes, key combinations, shortcuts, and even text-blocks to G-keys

The biggest flaws of this keyboard, is that it is almost "brainless". Upon learning that this keyboard itself is powered by Linux, we were excited by the possibilities it might offer. Unfortunately, the keyboard itself ‒ even when connected to power ‒ refuses to go anywhere beyond displaying the Logitech logo unless the drivers are installed on the system. In this case the macro keys don't work, and the back-light is fixed to white. The media keys and the Windows-key toggle should work though.
It is rather annoying that Logitech leeches on the effort of Linux developers by using it to power this keyboard's display feature, while not even contributing drivers for their devices to the Linux community. There are community-created drivers available ‒ and I must say they offer better features than Logitech's own Windows software ‒ however they are not very stable yet.
The keyboard is great if you can really afford spending this much on it, and find the LCD useful for running small applet, however if you are expecting support for your favorite games, check first. The problem is, displays on keyboards are not standard issue, and most game developers will probably not find it worth coding substantial extra features just to appease the minority of audience that bought this specific keyboard. As a result it is unlikely that it will ever be supported by a majority of games. Quite a few major titles support it, however not enough for the hardcore game player the keyboard is targeting.
If you find the extra display useful, you might consider actually purchasing an additional 15" / 17" LCD display and the cheaper Logitech G110, which will set you back by approximately the same amount, and will give you nearly the same features plus an additional audio jack in the keyboard.
Overall the G19 is nothing to save up for, if you can already afford it easily, go for it, but don't expect it to enhance your gaming experience significantly. With a little more brains in the keyboard, and a little more functionality out-of-the-box, this would be a killer keyboard. As it stands most features of the keyboard are underutilized.

LG Optimus 2X dual-core Android phone hits Europe in January.........!!!

LG Electronics (LG): Legendary Composer Ennio Morricone Makes Beautiful Music For LG Smartphones

LG Focuses on Creating Original Content for Today's Mobile Entertainment Devices

LG Electronics (LG) today announced the release of an exclusive collection of music and ringtones written by movie soundtrack maestro Ennio Morricone. The first such collaboration of its kind, both newly composed pieces as well as a selection from Morricone's legendary oeuvre, including Cinema Paradiso, The Mission and Love Affair, will be included in the collection.

To ensure that the beautiful music is paired with a suitably impressive platform, LG engineers have been hard at work perfecting the audio performance on its latest mobile phones. The exclusive music will be preloaded on LG smartphones starting with the LG Optimus 2X set to debut next month in Europe. LG smartphone users will be able to enjoy a total of 25 of Morricone's creations -- 15 ringtones composed specifically for LG and 10 of his best-known tunes from the world of cinema.

Born in Italy, Morricone is one of the most prolific and influential film composers in the world. He has composed and arranged scores for more than 500 films and TV programs over his illustrious career.

"Signore Morricone is one of the best-loved soundtrack composers of all time," said Dr. Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. "Reproducing his work with such amazing clarity on the Optimus 2X, gives smartphones a whole new level of respect as the primary device for on-the-go music."

In addition to the collection of 25 ringtones and music, LG plans to develop a range of apps with Morricone-related content such as images and video clips for free downloading from the LG Application Store (www.lgapplication.com) starting next year.

The partnership with Ennio Morricone is part of LG's Mobile Signature Sound Series, which kicked-off in 2006 with The Real Group, the award-winning a cappella group from Sweden.

Dell Venue launched in Hong Kong, we go hands-on.............!!!

Isn't it fun when you hit the right place at the right time? We just happened to be chillaxing in Hong Kong when Dell chose the city for the Venue's global launch (and it's actually hitting the shops slightly ahead of South Korea), so a quick hands-on is inevitable. As we've seen previously, this HK$3,999 (US$514) handset is essentially the Venue Pro's Android 2.2 cousin, sporting the same curved (or "Shear Design") vibrant AMOLED display at 4.1 inches and 800 x 480, but missing the slide-out keyboard. Under the hood lies a 1GHz Snapdragon with 1GB ROM and 512MB RAM, along with the usual microSD expansion, 1400mAh battery, 8 megapixel AF camera with LED flash, Bluetooth 2.3 EDR, WiFi and AGPS.

There aren't any surprises in terms of software -- the Venue shares the same snappy Stage UI and Swype keyboard with the Streak, except for the lack of landscape orientation for the homescreen (and that's with orientation enabled in system settings). As for hardware, the killer feature here is the screen, and we found its curved Gorilla Glass to be surprisingly nice for our thumbs while swiping across it. The AMOLED panel underneath is also vibrant with great viewing angles. Elsewhere, build quality is almost solid bar the squeaky battery door, but at least it provides some grip. That's all we got for now -- we'll delve into more details in our forthcoming review, so stay tuned.

Mouse for Men Concept Design Features Flexible Touchscreen............!!!

There are a lot of different options out there for people who are looking for a particular mouse accessory for their computer. Touch controls are becoming popular, so here’s a concept design that not only has touch controls, but also a flexible touchscreen, and pressure sensitive controls to boot. Not only that, but the designers made sure that when you look at this Mouse for Men, you realize that a real mouse was used for the inspiration.

While the technology within the concept may be unique enough, there’s the fact that the “tail” of the Mouse for Men is actually detachable. It was conceived by designer Nitin Mane, the Mouse for Men is meant to be comfortable to use over long periods of time, thanks to its ergonomic design. The touch controls, along with the pressure sensitive design elements, are all meant to make sure that the user doesn’t have to exert any extra force to use the mouse.

As for the touchscreen display? It’s an OLED. It’s also meant to inform the user as to what type of “mode” you are in, at any given moment. You can change from a standard mouse controls, or to a multimedia mode as well. The controls on the front of the mouse will change depending on what you need. The Mouse for Men was designed for the LG cube Competition 2010.

A Poor But Rich Family..........!!!

When I was in the Final Year of my Graduation Studies, we visited one of our friend's home for a lunch. I had no idea about where he lived, I mean, how it could it be?! I just knew that he took the bus from his home to our college.

The moment we reached his house, I found the staircases of his building were not so good nor was his home painted very well. I can't describe in words but it was not even the type of house in which a typical middle class Indian family lives in.

One of the greatest things I did find there were loving parents. We sat on the ground for the lunch because they didn't have a dining table. His mother served us very delicious food, smiling throughout and showed care for the entire lunch session; that I can never forget.

His father worked as a normal mechanic and I wondered if he earned enough money to support their 2 sons.

While we were taking lunch, his father returned home to meet with us. When he entered their home, his hands were dark black and his clothes were very dirty. I remember our friend had no hesitation about his father and made our introductions. I think it is rarely what we see in today's generation. How loving this family was!

Now, I am telling you the remarkable moment of the story. As soon as his father came in, after just 4-5 minutes, our friend asked us if we wanted "Papad" ( A Typical Indian Food ) to eat. Before we could say anything, our friend's mother said there were no "Papad" in the house.

Quickly, our friend asked his father if he could get some. Very gently and kindly his father brought it for us, after going through many staircases even though he was looking tired.

Don't you think of this as Richness of a Poor Family? I think all readers would agree with me.

The story doesn't end here... the interesting part still continues.

Today, our friend is a Team Lead in one of the leading MNC(s) that is Oracle. He is able to pay high rent in Hyderabad and have a new, beautiful home. Not only that, he helped his brother financially in his studies and is still helping.

So, friends, what can we figure out from this story?
The moral I understand is this:

"The amount of money you make won't win others' hearts; the only way is with love and kindness. The second point is that struggle and bad periods are needed in life for everyone, as it makes us strong. If you have strong willpower, goals and also the attitude of hard and smart work, you can definitely be a successful person in some areas of life, if I am not wrong. God always helps."

Some moments you always cherish in life.

I am planning to ask our friend for one more lunch or dinner at his home when comes back to our hometown. And I always tell him and remind him of one of the most remarkable days of my life, the day I had lunch with him and his parents.

Microsoft introduces new range of inexpensive wireless input devices in India [price]..........!!!

Microsoft has reportedly launched a new range of wireless input devices in India, with the intent of capturing the lost ground in the peripherals segment of computer hardware market. The new range of products include: Wireless Desktop 800, Wireless Mobile Mouse 1000 & Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500. Adopting an attractive lifestyle design and sleek form-factor, the new product range is projected to be a perfect blend of ergonomics and technology, while also boosting the user productivity requirements.

The BlueTrack technology incorporated specially into the Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500 is reportedly designed for use on 40 different surfaces like a granite slab, an airport bench or a living room carpet. The BlueTrack technology apparently uses a blue beam of light which is four times wider than the normal optical beam. Hence, it illuminates a larger surface area resulting in more light to enter the sensor. Thereby, it even allows tracking on uneven surfaces like carpet where a smaller beam could get lost between two strands of fibers.

Playbutton promises to let you wear your music proudly......!!!

It's not just slotMusic trying to sell digital music in some sort of physical form -- this so-called Playbutton concept has been making the rounds for the past few months, and it's now finally set to go on sale in February with eight different albums to choose from. As you might be able to surmise, the button is actually an MP3 player, but there's no way to get the music off of it and, to keep things as album-like as possible, there's no shuffle button either. There is a bit of room for some artwork to let folks know what you're listening to though, and you can thankfully plug in your own set of headphones. As for how much they'll cost, Playbutton founder Nick Dangerfield says albums sold on the buttons could be as much as $30 apiece, although he notes that it'll be up to the artists to decide how much they want to charge -- he suggests the "ideal price" would be $15 if bands sold them at shows.

Pantech Vega Xpress comes with DDR2 memory, extravagant performance claims.......!!!

Pantech's bringing a new wrinkle to the mobile hardware space with its newly announced Vega Xpress handset. This 4-inch Android 2.2 beastie will come equipped with an unspecified amount of DDR2 RAM -- yes, the stuff that usually goes into x86 laptop and desktop computers -- which Pantech will have you believe is going to blow the competition out of the proverbial water. The company claims the new phone doubles 3D graphics performance relative to its previous best, while power efficiency is also said to be two to three times better. Other specs include a 5 megapixel autofocus camera, 802.11n WiFi, an 800 x 480 resolution, and a 1500mAh battery. Yours, provided you're anywhere near Korea, some time soon.

HTC EVO Shift 4G spotted in the wild, said to have 800MHz CPU......!!!

We had our doubts the last time we encountered an HTC EVO Shift 4G, but it looks like they were mostly unfounded -- here's Sprint's new QWERTY slider in the flesh -- armor finally shed -- revealing a chrome bezel beneath. PhoneArena obtained these pics from an anonymous tipster, who says the device has an 800MHz processor much like the T-Mobile G2, and while we can't infer much more about the internals than we have before, there are a few new things to note: HTC Sense is alive and well, there's a particularly large camera module buried in the smooth plastic back and a headphone jack up top, and it appears there's a pair of status LEDs for Caps Lock and Function Lock right above the keyboard. See two more pics of the device at the source link below, while we wait for Sprint to own up.

Ford Sync AppLink ready to download for 2011 Ford Fiesta, iPhone support coming early next year...........!!!

Summary:
Wouldn't it be nice to connect your phone to your car and control Pandora with your voice? If you drive a 2011 Ford Fiesta, you can do so right now, by downloading the Ford Sync AppLink platform that's finally ready for primetime. So far, Pandora's one of only two apps that natively support voice commands (the other being OpenBeak) and it only works on BlackBerry and Android, but Ford says that Apple's iPhone will play nice with AppLink sometime in "early 2011." You'll find a thorough press release trumpeting the news after the break, and the download should be available at our source link any minute now. Then, you get to transfer it to a USB stick, and plug it into your car. Just imagine saying that to someone fifty years ago. 


Press Release:


· SYNC® AppLink, the industry-first software application that gives SYNC users hands-free voice control of their smartphone apps, is now available as a free download for 2011 Ford Fiesta owners at www.syncmyride.com

· Ford announces that Apple iPhone will be compatible with AppLink, along with initially announced BlackBerry by RIM and Android-based smartphones

· Pandora internet radio, Stitcher news radio and OpenBeak are the first SYNC-enabled mobile apps, some of which can be downloaded today from Android Market and BlackBerry App World, and soon from Apple App Store

· SYNC AppLink comes first to 2011 Ford Fiesta owners, with more SYNC-equipped vehicles soon to follow

DEARBORN, Mich., Dec. 22, 2010 – More than 14,000 owners of SYNC®-equipped Ford Fiesta vehicles can start celebrating the holidays now by treating themselves to the gift of AppLink, a free software program that gives SYNC users voice control of apps stored on their smartphone.

The industry-first capability puts Ford out front in the race to integrate smartphone apps into the car. The AppLink download for Fiesta owners went live today on the SYNC owner website, www.syncmyride.com.

"More and more drivers are using their devices and their apps while in the car," said Doug VanDagens, director of Ford Connected Services. "With AppLink, SYNC is a smarter solution for these drivers who choose to use these apps while driving – making it the only connectivity system available that can extend app functionality to the car using both voice and steering wheel controls."

Ford is also announcing a surprise new member to the AppLink family: the Apple iPhone. The popular smartphone makes for a powerful addition, and will be joining Android and BlackBerry smartphones as compatible devices with the software that allows apps to be controlled through the SYNC voice recognition system – a smarter alternative to manually controlling apps while driving.

Recent studies indicate 46 percent of adult smartphone users have apps on their phones and 36 percent of those admit to using those apps while commuting. Moreover, the 2010 study "Staying Connected on the Go: A Look at In-Vehicle Smartphone Integration Systems" conducted by the Consumer Electronics Association reports that 55 percent of smartphone owners prefer voice commands as their user interface for in-car smartphone integration, making the business case for SYNC and AppLink even more compelling.

"SYNC and AppLink work hand-in-hand to answer consumer demand for safer, smarter control of smartphones while in the car," said VanDagens. "Ford has worked hard to be a step ahead or at least in step with the speed of the consumer electronics market, and to leverage the technologies, features and services we know our customers want to be connected to while driving."

Easy downloading
2011 SYNC-equipped Ford Fiesta owners need to log in to their account on www.syncmyride.com to access the free AppLink download in the Update & Customize section.

As with any typical download, the AppLink software can be stored on a USB memory stick, and then inserted and uploaded to the vehicle via the SYNC system's USB port. In-car installation takes less than 10 minutes.

The first SYNC-enabled apps to market are Pandora internet radio, Stitcher news radio and OpenBeak for listening to Twitter posts. Once the AppLink upload is complete, customers can then visit their phones' respective app store to download the latest SYNC-enabled Pandora, Stitcher or OpenBeak app to their smartphone as they would any other app.

Current availability of SYNC-enabled apps:

- Pandora
- Apple iPhone: Coming early 2011
- Android: Available now (V1.5.3 or higher)
- BlackBerry: Available now (Version 1.1.6 or higher)

- Stitcher
- Apple iPhone: Coming early 2011
- Android: Coming early 2011
- BlackBerry: Coming late 2011

- OpenBeak
- BlackBerry: Available now from http://m.openbeak.com and soon in Blackberry App World (Version 1.4 or higher)

Seamless voice control
AppLink makes the connection between app and SYNC fairly seamless and simple, using Bluetooth streaming on paired Android and BlackBerry smartphones and the USB port for a connected Apple iPhone.

To access a mobile app with a SYNC-paired phone, the user simply has to press the VOICE button on the steering wheel and say the command, "Mobile applications," followed by the name of the app he or she would like to launch.

Once linked to Pandora, SYNC users can access their favorite personalized radio features, including creating and choosing stations, bookmarking songs for purchase, and giving songs a thumbs up/down all through voice. Command structure is intuitive and simple: "Play station classic rock radio," "Bookmark song," "Thumbs up" or "Thumbs down."

"Where before users would pick up their phone, taking their eyes off the road and hands off the steering wheel while driving to select a station and hit play, AppLink makes all of that functionality available through voice control, just like managing AM and FM radio or your MP3 player through SYNC," said Julius Marchwicki, SYNC product manager.

Similar voice command pathways and functionality exist for the Stitcher and OpenBeak apps. With Stitcher, for example, you can say the command, "Play station news" to listen to your favorite news radio or "Play station sports" to hear on-demand sports programming. Other popular Stitcher features such as skip station, thumbs up/down and "Add to favorites" are also available via voice.

Through the OpenBeak app, drivers can simply say the SYNC command, "Read timeline." In seconds, their feed is read aloud using the SYNC text-to-speech engine – a very similar experience to listening to talk radio.

Additional SYNC-enabled apps and smartphone integrations are coming soon, said Marchwicki. AppLink will also be introduced on other SYNC-equipped new model vehicles in 2011.

Ford will feature demos of AppLink at the Pepcom Digital Experience media event in Las Vegas on Jan. 5, 2011, and then at the 2011 International CES consumer technology trade show in Las Vegas between Jan. 6 and Jan. 9, 2011.

Google Nexus S (T-Mobile)..........!!!

Pros: First phone with Android 2.3 "Gingerbread" OS. Elegant design. Fast UI. Only U.S. phone with Near Field Communication (NFC) technology.

Cons: Mediocre voice performance. Multimedia performance behind class leaders. No HSPA+. Not many NFC applications.

Bottom Line:The Google Nexus S for T-Mobile promises frequent Android updates, but average consumers can find even-better high-end smartphones.

The Nexus S for T-Mobile is a cell phone for developers, designed by Google and Samsung to always have the newest, freshest version of Google's Android cell phone OS. It's a decent high-end phone to be sure, but there are better buys out there if you aren't enticed by Google's promise of being the first on the block to get software upgrades.

There are a lot of people out there who think "Nexus" means "absolutely cutting edge in every way." They're going to be disappointed. I think this Nexus S shows that Google is pretty happy with the way Android hardware innovation is going. Rather, the company wants to make sure there's a clean version of Android in developers' hands.
Google has wisely chosen to abandon its Web-sales model for the Nexus S. The earlier Nexus One phone was initially available only online, with Web-based support, as part of a Utopian scheme to shatter carriers' control of the U.S. mobile-phone market by selling the same phone, compatible with every carrier, direct to consumers. That didn't work out. Now the Nexus S is available at Best Buy stores for $529 without contract or $199 with a two year contract, and it will be supported by T-Mobile. In general, this is a model that Americans are much more comfortable with.

Design, Network, and Phone Performance
At 4.9 by 2.5 by .4 inches and 4.5 ounces, the Nexus S is a black slab phone similar in size and shape to Samsung's popular Galaxy S line, especially the Samsung Vibrant ($199, 4 stars). The Nexus looks more elegant because it uses more rounded corners and a black bezel, rather than cheaper-looking chromed plastic. The 4-inch, 800-by-480 Super AMOLED screen is curved to cradle your face, but, in use, I couldn't find any difference between it and a perfectly flat screen.
The one major new hardware feature here is NFC (Near Field Communication technology), which lets the phone interact with physical tags and could eventually let you use your phone as a credit card or to, say, check in with Foursquare by tapping on a restaurant's welcome sign. For now it's essentially useless in the U.S., though.

The Nexus S connects to the Internet either through HSPA 7.2 on T-Mobile's or foreign networks, or through Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n. While the S isn't compatible with T-Mobile's faster HSPA+ system, I got very good speeds for an HSPA 7.2 phone, as high as 2.2Mbps down and 1.3Mbps up. The phone can also be used as a Wi-Fi hotspot.

I wasn't thrilled by the voice performance. RF reception is fine, on par with the Editor's Choice T-Mobile myTouch 4G ($199, 4.5 stars), but the phone sometimes had trouble finding a signal after leaving a dead zone. Voice quality is just okay. The earpiece is clear and of moderate volume, and the speakerphone is nice and loud. But with transmissions through the mic, I had trouble with background and wind noise, and wind could sometimes cause skips in the earpiece audio.

The Nexus S paired easily with my Aliph Jawbone Icon Bluetooth headset, and voice dialing performance was unusually good; it had no trouble recognizing names or numbers.

The phone registered six hours and 2 minutes of continuous talk time, which is decent, but I had some other battery life issues.


OS, Software, and Apps
The Nexus S is the first phone with Android 2.3, also called "Gingerbread." The handset has zero bloatware, and it's always guaranteed to get Google's updates first. Neither Samsung nor T-Mobile get to have anything to do with this phone's software, which will be a major selling point to some consumers.

The Nexus S uses the same basic hardware platform as the Samsung Vibrant, based on a 1GHz Samsung Hummingbird processor. The UI is faster all around than on Android 2.2 phones, though Web performance isn't; I got the same page load times using Wi-Fi on this phone as on the myTouch HD. Our Android benchmarks showed better performance on memory and file-management tasks.

The UI in general has more transparency, the keyboard supports multitouch and there's a new camera app. The UI improvements total up to a lot of little things, but nothing to get excited about. There's also limited voice-over-IP support based on the enterprise-friendly SIP protocol (which isn't used by U.S. consumers much.)

Gingerbread spends some time focusing on power management. You can clearly see what's eating up your battery, and a new UI theme with more black spends less power lighting up the screen. But whatever issue that caused the Microsoft Exchange push e-mail client to manically drain the battery in Android 2.2 is still there, and I didn't get longer battery life with the Nexus S than with Froyo phones.

As this has a clean build of Android, there aren't many apps on here to start with; it doesn't even integrate Facebook and Twitter contacts until you download third-party clients. Of course, you do have 100,000 Android Market applications at your disposal.

I also ran into one very annoying bug: The built-in Maps and Navigation programs couldn't initialize the GPS for the first time after a factory reset. Downloading a free program called "GPS Test" fixed the problem, after which, the feature worked fine.

Multimedia and Conclusions
The Nexus S is a pretty good media phone, although it's not quite as solid as other top-of-the-line phones. For one thing, there's no removable memory; only a non-expandable 16GB of internal storage.

Audio and video support also have some trouble with key codecs. The music player supports most file types except WMA, and high-bit rate H.264 video files showed visibly jerky frame rates. I'm being picky here, but the Samsung Vibrant and the myTouch 4G don't have a problem with either of those things. Music and video sound great through wired or Bluetooth headphones, though, and YouTube plays in HQ mode if you have sufficient network speed.

The Nexus S has a 5-megapixel camera on the back and a VGA camera on the front, for video calling. There still isn't any adequate Android video calling software, but I found the front camera useful for recording video messages to my family.

The main camera took relatively sharp but somewhat desaturated photos outdoors, but indoors it really struggled with low light; I got very low shutter speeds, leading to blur. Outdoors, the video mode took smooth 720-by-480 videos at 30 frames per second, but that dropped to a jerky 17 frames per second indoors.
Google needs a developer phone with a clean build of Android. The Nexus S fits that bill. But it isn't the best Android phone for T-Mobile users (or for anyone, for that matter.) The T-Mobile myTouch HD outdoes the Nexus S with better battery life, faster Internet, a better camera, removable memory and some cool included software. On Sprint, the Samsung Epic 4G ($199, 4 stars) gives you WiMAX and a keyboard.

If you get all worked into a lather over who's on Android 2.1 and who's on 2.3, the Nexus S is a fine phone for you. Otherwise, it's just another high-quality, high-end Android phone in a crowd of good choices.

Good News: Chrome Now Sandboxes Flash for More Secure Browsing......!!!

Adobe Flash Player is now sandboxed in the latest dev channel release of Google Chrome, bringing a huge security benefit to Chrome users.

Here's why:

You'll hear a lot of Flash bashing on the internet, and while we're not as down on Flash as some (it has its flaws, but it's also been instrumental in shaping many of the things we love about the web), perhaps Flash's biggest flaw lies in security—or lack thereof. Flash is a common in-road for hackers aiming to execute malicious code in browsers. In a broad nutshell, sandboxing Flash means that this malicious code will have limited access to your system, and will be considerably less able to achieve its goal. From Google's Chromium releases blog:

This initial Flash Player sandbox is an important milestone in making Chrome even safer. In particular, users of Windows XP will see a major security benefit, as Chrome is currently the only browser on the XP platform that runs Flash Player in a sandbox. This first iteration of Chrome's Flash Player sandbox for all Windows platforms uses a modified version of Chrome's existing sandbox technology that protects certain sensitive resources from being accessed by malicious code, while allowing applications to use less sensitive ones. This implementation is a significant first step in further reducing the potential attack surface of the browser and protecting users against common malware.

Google notes that this initial sandboxing is just a start, and that they're still working to improve its effectiveness. Currently Flash sandboxing is only available on the dev channel for Windows, but they're planning to support all platforms eventually.

Microsoft over 1.5 million Windows Phone 7 devices sold to carriers and retailers......!!!

Microsoft has decided to finally dish out some sales figures for its new Windows Phone 7 platform, but alas, these are not the sales figures we are looking for. Instead of giving us the juicy number of actual devices sold to end users, the Redmond crew has provided a neatly rounded figure of 1.5 million sales to mobile operators and retailers. That tells us that the mobile industry is cautiously buying into Microsoft's new OS, and it'd be foolish not to, but it doesn't really educate us on the relative success of the platform's launch -- 1.5 million units is a tiny, tiny number when you consider the platform launched on 10 devices on over 60 carriers in over 30 countries. All that Microsoft's Achim Berg would say is that early sales have been "in line" with expectations.
