Study Claims That Gadgets Make People Happy

Fri, 14 May 2010 04:14:09 +0000

After surveying 35,000 people around the world, researchers came to a conclusion: Gadgets make people happy.Researcher Paul Flatters of Trajectory Partnership explains:

Whether young or old, we’re all social beings, we all have a need for the things IT access facilitates.

He continued to add that:

Ownership of technology is a status symbol in many cultures…having a computer is considered synonymous with a good education worldwide.

So it’s not a matter of gadgets themselves actually making us happy, but rather the things they represent. The loved ones we maintain contact with and our life situations.

Really, A Great Research!

Wed, 03 Feb 2010 06:31:24 +0000

Sony launched another new VAIO notebook by launching the VAIO E series. The 15.5-inch notebook is having extremely customizable designs & colors like bright, neon colors like “Caribbean green” and “hibiscus pink”, brown and silver etc. and all this available today with specification of:

Core i3 processor
4GB RAM
500GB HDD
and a CD/DVD burner standard

Just for $800. We also hear that there are other options coming soon, including Core i5 and Blu-ray upgrades that will be available starting Feb 7th.

The only disappointing thing is 3.5 hours battery life but otherwise the Vaio E looks to be a reasonably priced OK.

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 08:27:11 +0000

: Orkut

Orkut has revamped its look and added a crowd of new features as it tries to recover ground from one of its toughest competitor Facebook.

Google, which owns Orkut, believed the new look has a user interface, or homepage, which is faster and easier to use.

“With the new user interface (UI), the user does not have to visit each page for viewing videos, or say posting scraps.

Get to see all updates and respond to friends from the homepage itself. It also allows faster uploading of photos and has features like video chat, automatic face detection and a scroll down menu for viewing all friends on the same page.

India is the second leading market for Orkut after Brazil. “We have about 80-100 million users globally“

Official Windows 7 Prices

AmitD — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 06:01:03 +0000

Announced today, the official pricing of Windows 7 is as follows:

Retail

Home Premium $199.99

Professional $299.99

Ultimate $319.99

Upgrade Packages

Home Premium $119.99

Professional $199.99

Ultimate $219.99

n other words, $120, $200, and $220 respectively. Before you get excited about the lower prices (when compared to Vista), remember that only 1% actually buy retail OS copies. The rest download bootleg copies from torrent sites get the OS when they buy a new computer.

Still, it’s great seeing Microsoft slashing their flagship product prices a bit. Maybe we’ll see less people call the company “M$” on online forums.

Some bad news for Windows XP users though: Windows 7 will insist on a clean install, allowing no upgrades. Any Windows 7 upgrade package will work with XP though, checking first if the XP installation is legit before installing itself onto the same partition as XP.

One more thing to keep in mind: upgrading to Windows 7 from a higher edition of Vista will also require a clean install, as in the case of a Vista Ultimate user wanting to install Winows 7 Home Premium.

Windows 7 E without Internet Explorer in Europe

Fri, 12 Jun 2009 07:55:53 +0000

The ever-watchful eye of the European Union, Microsoft’s announce its Euro version of Windows 7, warmly and officially dubbed Windows 7 E, which will not come with Internet Explorer, and any other browser for that material.

The whole story is, OEMs will be provided free copies of IE8 to pack themselves instead of other browser options, and consumers can accept up their own copies via CD, FTP, or retail channels. The undoubtedly in response to the antitrust cases the EU keeps throwing Microsoft’s way, we wouldn’t be surprised to see it end up on almost every European computer sold, we do surprise if this will at all speed up IE’s already quickly diminishing share in the war of web browsers.

Hope that it’ll come in India soon…….

Nokia phone that charge itself

Thu, 11 Jun 2009 08:17:45 +0000

Nokia Logo

People fell hassle while charging their mobile phones, particularly when they are going somewhere. Nokia think it has the solution:

A phone that charges itself. In new charging system Nokia working on allows a phone to charge itself by ambient radiowaves. The waves are all around us through TVs, radios and mobile phones themselves. The power harvested from these waves is enough to keep a phone powered in standby mode for an indefinite period.

The Oyster cards used by commuters in London apply a similar principle but harvest their power from the readers they are swiped through. Nokia’s model harvests it right from the air.

System works via a wide band antenna and two simple circuits. They pick up frequencies ranging from 500 megahertz to 10 gigahertz and convert those waves into electrical current. So far they have been able to harvest up to 5 millliwatts and wish to get at least 20, which is enough to keep a phone in standby mode.

Don’t run to store immediately as these charging system are not expected to be on the market for another 3-5 years.

Google’s New Algorithm Knows when You’re Going to Quit Your Job

Fri, 22 May 2009 12:51:53 +0000

Google New Algorithm

Google developed an algorithm that notify them which employees are most likely to quit. That’s really interesting as-well-as fearful for employees.

What it does: Actually it’s a formula designed by Google team to let a machine essentially wriggle around inside your head to dig out your true intentions obviously regarding job — intentions you might not even realize you have yet—to reveal them to the company bean counters, who are basically machines themselves. Who can then take the Pre-Crime approach and shit you before you quit—if you were really going to quit at all.

Google developed this algorithm in response to its best employees bailing, so presumably at least some of the unhappy people would be wooed, not written off.

Today, a computer knows if you’re going to quit. Next, a computer calculates if you should be hired at all. Which is only a few generations removed from determining if all people shouldn’t be fired, but like, permanently? Wow! Artificially intelligence is here…..

Yahoo’s New Homepage For Mobile Web

Wed, 01 Apr 2009 13:13:20 +0000

Yahoo New Homepage For Mobile

Yahoo has rolled out its mobile homepage on the mobile web, and as an iPhone application. The service, first introduced in February at Mobile World Congress, replaces its old Yahoo! Go product and ties together its various mobile offerings into one place including its search product, Onesearch, its social networking product, OneConnect and its content management product OnePlace.

Features:

It allows users to bring in outside applications—a big distinction from Yahoo Go, which only allowed in Yahoo products. Users can access Gmail or Hotmail, & not just Yahoo Mail.
The mobile web version is supported by more than 300 devices, or those capable of supporting HTML-enabled mobile browsers.
Both the web version & iPhone version are available in 8 countries, including the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Germany, France, India, Indonesia & the Philippines. (More country versions are expected to roll out over the next few months).

Yahoo plans to derive revenues from the product through display advertising, including both banners and rich media ads, which will allow users to send to a friend, locate a dealer, of click to call the advertiser directly, among other capabilities.

Facebook new design- Coming soon

Fri, 06 Mar 2009 13:33:24 +0000

Facebook Logo

Facebook has announced it will roll out a newly designed homepage for its users in middle of next week. Gone is the Newsfeed, it will now be replaced with “Stream,“ which sends real time updates to your page, letting you in on what your friends are doing in real-time. The status update feature is now called “Publisher” and asks “What’s on your mind?”

All text, links, photos or videos entered are immediately published on your home page and those of your friends. There will be plenty of filters, allowing you to decide what types of content you want to see in your stream and from which friends.

Facebook is offering a sneak peek-just log into your account and you’ll see the announcement on your homepage with a link to the “tour.“ Is this sound really cool? Let us know…

Skype will integrate with Nokia Nseries

Thu, 19 Feb 2009 17:37:47 +0000

Skype with Nokia N-Series

Now, Skype will be pre-integrated in Nokia N-Series mobile phones, company announced in Mobile World Congress trade show, Barcelona.

The first model with this Skype feature will be available with Nokia N97 & will start commercially in June. The app will run on both Wi-Fi and on 3G. N-Series smartphones run on Symbian S60 operating system.

How you can communicate: The address-book of the phone will be connected to the Skype software to make users aware when their Skype contacts are online so they can make free voice calls or send SMS.

Users will also have the possibility to make phone calls from the integrated Skype to other cellphones or landline numbers. For this service, obviously they need to pay. With the increase in capabilities in cell phones, VoIP is becoming a viable option.

However, in this way, mobile phone bills can get expensive.

It was the news that skype will be ibuilt add-on software in Nokia mobiles however it’s official now that Skype will be coming to iPhones and iPod touches tomorrow i.e. Tuesday and to RIM BlackBerries in May.

Sun, 11 Jan 2009 05:45:31 +0000

World

At $2.5-million, the “King’s Button” Apple iPhone is the world’s most expensive Phone. It’s “made of solid 18-carat yellow gold, white gold and rose gold” — encrusted with 138 diamonds.

A fully “bling bling” gadget it even composed of a home button that features a rare 6.6 carat diamond. The ‘Kings Button’ is definitely for those who dare to defy the current credit crunch.

Lenovo’s ThinkPad W700ds Reviews

Wed, 31 Dec 2008 10:09:13 +0000

Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds: Reviews

Some of the guys have already wrapped their foot around Lenovo’s completely unorthodox W700ds, the dual-screened machine has yet to undergo a proper review… until now, however below mentioned are the reviews till today:

Laptop Mag found the fit to be expectedly dominant in all the right areas, with a silly graphics performance and a stunning display. The main 17-inch panel was nothing short of stupendous, though the pull-out 10.6-inch LCD was said to be “significantly duller and dimmer.”

Additionally, the vertical orientation wasn’t well suited for much of anything outside of sidebar applications like chat boxes, Photoshop toolbars, etc. All told, the W700ds wasn’t believed the best value in the world with an anticipated price point of around $5,000, but those with highly specialized needs might just pay the premium to make their dreams come true.

Google Earth 3D: High Quality Pics

Fri, 19 Dec 2008 06:10:14 +0000

At first glance, the snapshot below may seem like the real NYC skyline, but it’s actually a snapshot from Google Earth Pro. They report “that the new New York City (captured with Google Earth Pro) has seen an update with hundreds, if not thousands of new buildings.”

Google Earth 3D Snapshot of NewYork City

It’s actually consists of many photos of New York, textured on 3D models in Google Earth’s latest update. Isn’t it really amazing?

PlayStation 3 console 40 GB discount of 2,000 INR.- Christmas Offer

Thu, 18 Dec 2008 11:55:51 +0000

Playstation 3 is cheaper of Rs. 2,000 and available now of 22,990 in India

You must be happy to hear that PlayStation 3 console (40 GB version) has now become cheaper by INR Rs. 2000 so it costs Rs. 22,990 as opposed to Rs. 24,990. Here’s what PlayStation India’s head honcho Atindriya Bose had to say:

“We are excited to bring to Indian consumer offers like these during the Christmas. This not only gives a boost to gaming in India but also makes the PlayStation 3 more affordable than ever. We recognize the need of the Indian gamers and stand committed to develop gaming as the most interactive entertainment mode.”

however, I still don’t understand how just Rs. 2000 drop makes this console “more affordable than ever”.

Acer-branded smartphone launching delay for 2009

Sun, 07 Dec 2008 07:35:04 +0000

For the third time this year, we’re hearing straight from totally unofficial, somewhat sketchy Acer sources that the firm is still planning on producing its own smartphone in 2009.

Acer Cellphone 2009 Snapshot

The latest report has company chairman JT Wang stating that the eventual launch may not happen until Q2 2009 (red flag), and he blamed the possible delay on the ongoing negotiations with carriers across the globe. If you’ll recall, Acer’s been talking up its own phone ever since it took E-Ten Information Systems in under its wings, but many months later, we still have no concrete evidence that anything is going on (mobile wise, at least) behind the firm’s doors.

I hope, they’ll luanch this in the next querter, let’s see………

Windows Vista SP2 launch April’09?

Mon, 01 Dec 2008 13:21:29 +0000

Windows Vista SP2 April Launch Logo

Last week TechARP said that Microsoft Vista SP2 is scheduled for an April 2009 release to manufacturing — that means not you… not yet anyway.

We’re guessing that it will hit a month later for general release if the Vista SP1 rollout was any indication. So who’s TechARP? Oh just the same group of Malaysian kids that like to boast about how they broke the Vista SP1 and XP SP3 release schedules to the world.

That makes their “confidential source” worth listening to. The source adds that Microsoft will deliver a SP2 release candidate as early as February so we’ll know soon enough how accurate this rumor is.
