Microsoft's war against Linux has gone too far.......
hey you guys out there.does saw the movie called "UNTRACEBLE" ??
if not see it now.
because besides being a good movie this movie is a OPEN advertisement of Microsoft Corporation to promote their softwares.
can you beleive it??
FBI cyber security devition is NOW switched to Windows Vista (most probably an FBI edition).
remember the last time when we saw the fbi cyber security devision's computers in DIE HARD 4.the computers are running their properitory os & software.but in this movie it is vista.
The agens are using vista in their homes.
OOOH their is a small glimpse of XP too.
and last but not least the microsoft even let us believe that BAD GUY USES LINUX.probably it is the result of their WAR against linux.
i have all the proofs attaches from the screenshots of the movie itself.
vista at fbi office
vista in the fbi office 2
windows in the officer's mobile too !!
vista in officer's laptop !!
Xp in officer's home computer !!

"REMEMBER only Bad guys use vista" - Microsoft.
See the heading of title bar there it is the file system of GNU linux..
"REMEMBER if you use Linux you will get caught" - Microsoft
ist it really funny to see that how microsoft is keen to prove their software.....but you cannot grew taller by benting someones head.
as in reality it is prooved by the movie it self that windows CAN BE HACKED but LINUX IS UNTREACABLE......................

From the site of "stason.org.............grievience against Google Adsense
"........ConclusionWhile I understand that there is a lot of click fraud going on, and realise that Google needs a way to fight it, this study case clearly shows that:Innocent are much more likely to be hurt because there is justice system in place. Google plays God here - sorry, we can't tell you why you are guilty and we don't need to prove it to you. Good bye.It's darn easy to bring someone's AdSense account to a closure by Google - just arrange a surge of clicks on someone's site. You've already heard of botnets, right? And you've heard of people cracking captchas by making other people do the typing, right? And probably 10,000 other ways. It's probably much harder to make a dent in bigger sites with a lot of traffic, so smaller sites are much more vulnerable, since it's much easier to create a burst of clicks and get it on the Google fraud team radar.I'm wondering about the following: Google prohibits the publishers to click ads on their own sites - but that's silly: what if I see an ad that I'm genuinely interested in? It's so easy to forget about that prohibition and click on the ad - and boom, you get banned. Or your co-worker sitting on the same IP clicks some ads - how could he know about the prohibition? I'm not talking about going all day around and click on your site's ads, I'm talking about clicking a few of them here and there - it won't make the publisher more than a few dozens of cents. Why Google Adsense can't just not account for those few clicks, rather than count them as a fraud? Simply change the contract to say: any clicks coming from your IP will not be accounted as a revenue. That'd certainly help a lot of people: both the publishers and the Google AdSense team.Another problem is that when Google disables your account you lose all your earnings so far, even those that have happened before the illegal activity (which hopefully wasn't done by you, which was the case with me). i.e. if my account wouldn't have been re-enabled those $100+ dollars would have been lost.Also after notifying me that the account is disabled, Google has continued serving ads on my site, until I've removed their javascript code after I realised that the appeal was just their way to show that they listen. I wonder who was getting paid for those clicks generated during that period. If they have considered the site to be illegally generating clicks, were the advertisers burning their money for nothing?So, the next time you get excited by all those books and sites touting Google Ads as your greatest source of revenue, think twice before you waste your time and energy on something that is *not* under your control and can be taken away by a malicious user in co-operation with Google AdSense team.Google AdSense is undeniably a great tool when it works, but I'd definitely love to have a better control over it......."

Hewlett Packard launches Compaq dc7800
Yet another addition to the aleady good line of desktop computers offered by HP in the Indian market. This time it is the first ever Desktop PC with a SSD Drive.
The Compaq dc7800 also comes with a stamp of approval from the EPEAT Gold registry for passing all the strict environmental requirements to make it environment-friendly.
The desktop PC is aimed for business users with a good design which fits the CPU on the back of the monitor (see photo).
The cost will be around Rs. 40,000 and it starts selling on the first of next month.

Apple Buys P.A. Semi for iPhone,
Apple has agreed to buy P.A. Semi, a boutique microprocessor design company, according to Forbes magazine. The deal is reportedly worth $278 million in cash.
Led by chip-industry veteran Dan Dobberpuhl, P.A. Semi is perhaps best known for its PWRficient processors for the multibillion-dollar high-performance embedded-computing markets. PWRficient 64-bit multicore processors aim to redefine power , cost and throughput efficiency in high-performance processing.
P.A. Semi's processors could provide advanced features in future iPods and iPhones.
Deja Vu for P.A. Semi
The acquisition may be a dream come true for P.A. Semi, as well as deja vu. When Apple was ready to dissolve its relationship with IBM and its PowerPC processors, P.A. Semi was the rumored heir apparent processor maker for the Mac. P.A. Semi is an active member in Power.org and leverages IBM's Power Architecture in its processors.
However, Apple selected Intel as its chipmaking partner for the Mac. This time around, it appears Apple CEO Steve Jobs is more concerned about a competitive advantage for the iPhone.
"P.A. Semi makes some great technology, very power-efficient and ideal for a variety of mobile devices. It does appear to be something of a slap in Intel's face. Intel is making such a big deal of its Atom processor, which is aimed at that same market," said Charles King, principal analyst at Pund-IT Research.
Nokia Tube
Is this the next Apple iPhone killer ? Well we really doubt it, but coming from Nokia we do expect it to cause some concern at the Apple Inc. camp. People are talking about this phone as one of the worthy candidates to give some competition to the iPhone.
A few features which look pretty certain are -
Wi-Fi
3G
GPS
Another option for HSDPA could be on the cards for this release, but no-one seems to be sure yet.
The Nokia Tube could be launched with a wide 16:9 aspect ratio widescreen even bigger than the iPhone, lets wait and watch for this one.

Motorola comes out with new MOTOROKR U9 for India
Jean Wyclef has launched the new MOTOROKR U9 model in india which comes with stereo bluetooth 4 and the newly introduced CrystalTalk technology.
The phone comes with a 25MB user memory and comes with a microSD card support. So you can put a nice 4GB card to store up your music and videos. The phone has Windows Media Player 11 for media playback.
The MOTOROKR U9 also has a 2 megapixel camera with multishot features and video recording abilities. Yatin Naik, the head of retail marketing, India for Motorola is confident that this handset will be a big hit among the young Indian mobile phone using crowd.
iPhone to be launched in September in India
Confirmed reports from plenty of sources that the 8GB iPhone from Apple is going to come to India (officially) in September. We have seen plenty of iPhones here on the streets of Bombay purchased from gray markets at a good price. The prices floating around for an iPhone in Mumbai are around Rs. 20,000 to 22,000, depending on your source.
The 8GB version will be officially launched in September this year for a price of Rs. 28,000, much more than the price in the US.
The phone will be launched with Vodafone and finally there will be a "legal" way to get your hands on this. Although we doubt many users would go this way :D
The 3-G iPhone: What To Expect
That Apple will release a new iPhone this summer seems almost certain. The rumor mill is grinding, and the evidence is trickling in, and if Apple’s iPod release schedule is anything to go by, we should expect an updated model 12 months after the last one.
So if we step back for a second and take a look at the collected “evidence” so far, what does it point to?
Radio
IPhone 2.0 will be 3-G. If it is to stand any chance in the as-yet-untapped Japanese market, a fast data connection is a must. The official line from both Apple and AT&T is that a 3-G iPhone will ship this year, and as two launches in one year are unlikely, we can only assume that there will be one international 3-G iPhone. Certainly, the Infineon chipset expected to power the new phone will work on both HSDPA and WCDMA networks, as well as continuing to support EDGE for customers outside of good 3-G coverage.
Camera
The iPhone’s camera sucks. It offers the user no more than the most basic functionality and only captures a measly two megapixels. It’s so bad that a range of unofficial software upgrades has already been released, adding new features and even video. The Infineon chipset mentioned above supports cameras of up to 5 megapixels and also video capture using Apple’s codec of choice, h.264. So more pixels and video seem very likely, but what of video calls? Apple’s Mac application iChat has had video conferencing for some time. It would be a perfect match for the iPhone’s big bright screen, but that would entail a second camera. I’d give this one a 50-50 chance.
Hardware
The current iPhone is so simple that it can hardly be improved. Expect the changes to be small, and then only cosmetic. It looks a little chunky next to the svelte iPod Touch, so the new model will likely be thinner. There are rumblings on the internet that the body will be black plastic instead of aluminum, which seems very unlikely. The current iPhone is surprisingly tough, so we’d expect Apple to stick to glass and metal. The only sure thing thing is that as soon as you see the new model, your old iPhone will look inexplicably clunky.
Software
Software is arguably the most important part of the iPhone. Ever since its launch last year, seemingly every cellphone maker has released a touchscreen phone. None of them comes close in ease of use, because none of them understands that the interface is everything.
The currently beta iPhone SDK shows us that the v2.0 operating system will be an incremental upgrade, adding niceties such as search and, if we’re lucky, copy-and-paste. With the iPod, Apple has often held new features back from older models in order to drive sales. Part of this is the accounting model it uses: In order to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley (or Oxshit) laws, Apple won’t add new features to old hardware. The iPhone, though, like the Apple TV, is accounted for on a subscription basis. Expect the v1.0 iPhone to run the exact same software as the new one, exempting features which utilize new hardware.
Now it’s your turn. What do you expect to see? Suggestions in the comments.
Internet Full of Cyberspace 'Black Holes'
Internet Full of Cyberspace 'Black Holes'
Friday, April 11, 2008
By Clara Moskowitz
You're pounding the keyboard, double-clicking away, sighing and grumbling, but to no avail: That devilish little hourglass icon refuses to give way to the Web site you're trying to reach.
Most Internet users have encountered trouble reaching online destinations, but they often attribute the problem to their wireless network cutting out or a server momentarily going down.
Sometimes, though, the problem is more mysterious.
At any given moment, messages throughout the world are lost to cyber black holes, according to new computer science research.
• Click here for FOXNews.com's Personal Technology Center.
Ethan Katz-Bassett, a graduate student in computer science at the University of Washington, and his advisor, Arvind Krishnamurthy, designed a program to continuously search for these strange Internet gaps, when a request to visit a Web site or an outgoing e-mail gets lost along a pathway that was known to be working before.
To make sure the black holes they detect are not simply due to a problem with the end user or the host server, they look for computers that can be reached from some, but not all, of the Internet, meaning the issue must be occurring en route.
"We were astounded when we did an initial four-month study and we saw how many problems there were," Katz-Bassett told LiveScience. "It seemed infeasible that this could be happening so often. They're definitely more common than we thought."
Now the team constantly monitors the Web for black holes and posts a map of where the problems are around the world at any given moment.
They hope their data will help Internet service providers track down the route of problems experienced on their networks.
"Network administers are definitely interested in it," Katz-Bassett said. "I think we need to do more analysis of the data and see where exactly these problems are occurring. It would be interesting to come up with predictions about where problems were most likely to occur."
The scientists named their monitoring system Hubble after the Hubble Space Telescope, which can also detect black holes, albeit the astrophysical kind.
They hope their data will help improve the consistency of the Internet, where we increasingly entrust vital information.
"I think we would like it to be more reliable," Katz-Bassett said. "It's orders of magnitude less reliable than the telephone network right now. I think it should be pretty possible to get it closer."
The researchers will present their findings at the Usenix Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation being held next week in San Francisco.
The project was funded by the National Science Foundation.

AMD triple-core Phenom X3 review roundup
AMD triple-core Phenom X3 review roundupby Darren Murph, posted Apr 23rd 2008 atEngadget12:19PMFor the indecisive among us who need a bit more than two but just can't wrap their wallets around four, AMD's out to show you exactly what three cores of computing magic can do. Make no mistake, we've been waiting quite some time for these buggers to ship, but they've finally made it into the capable hands of reviewers web-wide. The general consensus seems to be that the tri-core processors offer no real surprises: it performs better than a dual-core AMD CPU, yet worse than a quad-core AMD CPU. Needless to say, it tends to lag even further behind an Intel quad-core. Still, the Phenom X3 wouldn't be a terrible option if quad-core Intel chips were still as pricey as ever, but with it slashing prices a few weeks back, the X3 seems to lack the value AMD was hoping we'd see. Still, don't take our word for it -- there's lots and lots of words on the matter right down there.Read - HotHardware (...the X3 8750 should also appeal to modders on a budget.)Read - MaximumPC (Basically, it's a quad core with one core turned off.)Read - TweakTown (...a perfect choice to replace Athlon 64 X2s...)Read - PCPerspective (...isn't a slam dunk in performance or value...)Read - Bit-Tech (...Phenom X3 8750 is a good processor in isolation...)Read - Computer Shopper (...a worthy choice for Athlon X2 owners on a tight budget...)
T-Mobile's Android enable phone.....
The first Android devices were always scheduled to arrive later this year, and while we'vealready seen a couple prototypes and hacked ports floating around, it looks like T-Mobile is the first out of the gate to confirm that it'll have phones based on Google's mobile OS. Speaking at the Wireless Innovations 2008 conference, T-Mo's VP of broadband and new business division Joe Sims said he'd played with an early version of T-Mobile's first Android phone and that it would ship in the fourth quarter of this year. Sims said that although he was initially skeptical of Android, he's now "impressed," and that T-Mobile would eventually have "more than one" Android phone. Now, if someone would just let us know what this magical phone actually is, we'd be happy -- HTC Dream, anyone?[Via IntoMobile]

Alienware's Updated Aurora Gaming Desktop
Starts at $999 
Alienware has injected life into the Aurora line with a new gaming rig fitted with quad-core AMD Phenom 9850 processors, your choice of ATI Radeon 3870 X2, HD3850, or HD3870 graphics cards (single or CrossFire configuration), up to 4GB Dual Channel DDR2, and tons of HDD space. Naturally, tricking this thing out with all of the higher-end options is going to make the price ridiculous in a hurry, but a $999 base is about as good as it will get for an Alienware.

Airtel Hack for free internet
You need a PC or a Laptop and the required connectivity tools ,ie.,
Serial/USB cable OR Infrared Device OR Bluetooth dongle
1) Activate Airtel Live! ( It’s FREE so no probs)
2) Create TWO Airtel gprs data accounts (yep TWO) and select the
FIRST as the active profile.
3) Connect your mobile to the PC (or Laptop) and install the driver for
your mobile’s modem.
4) Create a new dial-up connection using the NEW CONNECTION
WIZARD as follows
Connecting Device : Your mobile’s modem
ISP Name : Airtel (or anything you like)
Phone Number : *99***2# / Try 99***1
Username and Password : blank
5) Configure your browser and download manager to use the proxy
100.1.200.99 and port 8080.( My advice is to use Opera since you
can browse both wap and regular websites)
6) Connect to the dial-up account. You will be connected at 115.2
kbps (but remember, that is a bad joke).
7) Pick up your mobile and try to access any site. You will get “Access
Denied…”(except for Airtel Live!). IT DOES NOT MATTER.
Keep the mobile down.
8 ) On the PC ( or Laptop) open your browser, enter any address ,
press ENTER and…….WAIT
9) After a few seconds the page will start to load and you have the
WHOLE internet at your disposal. ***************************************************************************************************************

U can also use it through ur computer..........
someone said dis too
The main principle behind this is we hav 2 fool the bsnl techies 2 activate portal and thus get gprs activated / get "G" signal on ur cell as bsnl portal (wap.cellone.in) needs "gprs signal on ur cel (whether gprs is formaly activated/registerd or not (by my method )i dont know)
NORMALLY THEY DONT DO THAT INSPITE OF THE FACT THAT THEY SHOULD ACTIVATE GPRS SIGNAL SERVICE FOR PORTAL!!!
AND THEY WILL GIVE U NO OF REASONS----
---THAT portal is message based , so go to cellone icon in menu and use that sms based portal (what the f**k)
---THAT portal service will be activated when u will activate gprs by filling up form and registering at nearest CCN!!
---THAT ur handset has some problems (if u say that "G" signal is not present)
----etc,etc!!
U HAVE 2 ACTIVATE PORTAL FIRST WHICH IS FREE AND U CAN EAT UP CC'S FOR THIS REASON!!
SO WHAT U HAV 2 DO IS--
1) SEND PORTAL to 3733 AND CONFIRMATION SHD COME WITH 5 MIN AT-MAXIMM !!
2) SEND FOR ATLEAST 20-30 TIMES (CAN B ANY MORE THAN THAT)
JUST S**K UP THE NETWORK(3733) WITH THESE MESSAGES !!!
THAT'S FREE NO!! BOTH ON POST AND PRE!!
3) NOW ALONG ALSO SEND 20-40 SMS AS GPRS TO 3733
(NO OF SMS DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL 2 HATE FOR BSNL AND HOW EARLY U WNAN GET UR GPRS ACTIVATED) this is also free both on post and pre!!
4) U WILL GET CONFIRMATION IN BOTH CASES AND MSG TELLS U 2 GET SETTINGS FROM 9400024365, THE NO OF CC!!
HERE AT MY PLACE I CAN DIAL 9419024365 ALSO!
BOTH R TOLL FREE AND BOTH R LOCATED IN CHANDIGARH!!!
(((((((AND SOME OF THE CC'S SAY they cant give such sensitive information that where they r located, as if thay have a 3 rd world of their own! and the other dumbs said that they r in chandigarh!!!!)))))
I WOULD ADVISE ALL FIRST, 2 call them once 2 get the settings!!
(most of the times that is incorect but gives u an idea of settings in ur area))
Try and in ur 1 st call only,
talk roughly and tell them u r calling 10-20th time just for settings and is that their service!!!
5) Now when u get them save them AND plz post them here!!!
6) now GET ATLEAST 2-3 COMPLAINTS REGISTERED( each after 1 day) THAT UR PORTAL HAS NOT ACTIVATED AND GET THEIR SERIAL NO.
and in the end bombard them abt the status of all those complaints !!
b4 registering ur complaint they will hesitate much and always say taht they will b sendin new settings which r accurate! but dont belive them and just register complaints!!
6)AFTER THAT, u have 2 only wait until "G" signal is there on ur screen!!
LOOK, WHAT I HAVE WRIITEN ABV IS METHOD by which i got activated my "G" service !!! without fillin any form or such and without any money drain!!
may be since it bypasses the formal way of registeration, that is why this trick is working !!!!!!!!!!!!
U may also Try this
first open ur msg window and type LIVE and send it to 2567 so that after 5 min u get the setting of Airtel Live or if u have already no need for this procedure.
now then open that setting and copy all the settings from it and create one access point manually which has all the settings like Airtel Live has.
now only one change will be there and it would be in access point name which is "Airtelmms.com" instead of originally "Airtelgprs.com".
ok u've done it just active that setting and access free airtel gprs on ur phone.
Another Trick
somya_cseYou need a PC or a Laptop and the required connectivity tools ,ie.,
Serial/USB cable OR Infrared Device OR Bluetooth dongle
1) Activate Airtel Live! ( It’s FREE so no probs)
2) Create TWO Airtel gprs data accounts (yep TWO) and select the
FIRST as the active profile.
3) Connect your mobile to the PC (or Laptop) and install the driver for
your mobile’s modem.
4) Create a new dial-up connection using the NEW CONNECTION
WIZARD as follows
Connecting Device : Your mobile’s modem
ISP Name : Airtel (or anything you like)
Phone Number : *99***2#
Username and Password : blank
5) Configure your browser and download manager to use the proxy
100.1.200.99 and port 8080.( My advice is to use Opera since you
can browse both wap and regular websites)
6) Connect to the dial-up account. You will be connected at 115.2
kbps (but remember, that is a bad joke).
7) Pick up your mobile and try to access any site. You will get “Access
Denied…”(except for Airtel Live!). IT DOES NOT MATTER.
Keep the mobile down.
8 ) On the PC ( or Laptop) open your browser, enter any address ,
press ENTER and…….WAIT
9) After a few seconds the page will start to load
main thing is the advance initialization command.
BSNL Free GPRS Internet Hack
Logic: the server has a major bug in it, by which it fails to block two simultaneous connections from the phone and
establishes a connection with full internet working,
Supported devices: all phones with multichannel gprs support
For connection on your mobile phone.
1) Make two connections like BSNL111 and BSNL222
2) Select the application you got to have the full connection working on.
Surpassingly “web” now just select “BSNL111” profile and select a link like wap.cellone.in the page will get open,
just press the red button such that the “web” application goes in the background.
Make sure that the gprs connection is still established with the web app.
Two parallel lines on the top left of the screen will confirm this
3) Now open any other app that requires web connection like opera. Select BSNL222 and open any other link like
wap.google.com, u will get AN error.
the aim of using the other app is to perform multi-channel gprs,
this is verified by seeing some dots on the pre-existing connection established by “web”
ACCESS DENIED.
Technical description:
403 Forbidden - You are not allowed to communicate with the requested resource.”
4) close opera and open web and open a site like esato.com
5) if everything is done as said here then esato will load and THTS IT! We have the whole internet!
For connection on pc.
1)create a connection and enter the number to be dialed as *99***1#
2) enter the string as extra initialization command
3)now dial from pc, the connection will be established
4)pick the phone and open “web” open “wap.cellone.in” the phone shows error .
5) close “web” and then from the browser open
and thts it ! The whole intenet is here .
settings for profiles
apn: celloneportal
ip: 192.168.51.163
port : 8080
leave other fields blank as they are of the least concern!
the browser settings on pc 2 go the same as mentioned above!

Chandu.

Nokia WiMAX N810 Released........
The WiMAX version of Nokia's N810 internet tablet has already popped up on Nokia's European site, lending creedence to all those whispers about a CTIA debut tomorrow, and now we've got units showing up in the wild, which is probably a good sign. There were apparently some other shots of this bad boy on Flickr, but they've since been removed -- let's hope tomorrow brings us some official beauty shots, eh?
Palm Centro The Magical Machine....
Palm's miniscule and wallet-friendly Centro has managed to reach one million units sold since its launch last September. It got its legs working as Sprint and AT&T's gateway smartphone at that fantastic $99 pricepoint, and now it's making a bid for world domination in major markets in Europe and Asia. The one million sales have it nipping at the heels of recent superstar smartphones, the two million plus HTC Touch and the four million plus iPhone, not bad company in the least.

Cubans can now use cell phones, in 2008
Cubans can now use cell phones, in 2008by Julio Franco on March 31, 2008, 7:24 AM | (2comments)Cubans can now use cell phones, in 2008Forgive me for the remark on the title above, but yes, it's 2008 and the Cuban government has just now lifted a restriction on cell phone usage to its citizens. Before last Friday, when new President Raul Castro announced the change, only foreigners and government employees were allowed the use of mobile phones.Without touching on the politics behind the story, it's an amazing fact how Cuba had lagged so behind - measured in years, if not decades - on adopting technologies that for so many of us have become things of need or plain assumption on a day to day basis. Along with this change, Cubans will be allowed to buy computers and DVD players next month, those were also restricted items under the previous Castro regime. Now the only problem with all these great news, is that Cubans will have to pay "hard currency" for the items, this is because the normal currency used in the island is worth nearly nothing in global terms. The population then has to rely on cash remittances sent by relatives living abroad or the money tourists leave on the island for acquiring these very expensive services.

Tech2 Exclusive: India May Ban Facebook, Orkut and Foreign Social Networking Sites
Close on the heels of the recent directive to telecom operators to provide for lawful interception of Blackberry and other encrypted messaging services, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has now asked Social Networking sites based outside India to fall in line.
"Sites such as Orkut and Facebook allow for heavily encrypted exchanges of information", a highly placed source at the MHA told Tech2.com. MHA officials are believed to be especially worried about the phenomenon of "scraps" and "pokes" respectively on these two sites.
"Imagine if applications such as SuperPoke fell into the hands of anti-national and anti-social (no pun intended) elements", remarked a senior MHA official who did not wish to be named. "The consequences could be disastrous, especially considering the lack of sufficient monitoring of Indian users' walls," he warned.
Intelligence operatives are of the belief that Jehadi terror cells could work out a sophisticated system of communication by "throwing sheep" at each other using a site such as Facebook.com whose servers the Indian government cannot access. The government has asked all Indian social networking sites such as BigAdda.com, Yaari.com and Minglebox.com to maintain records of all user activity including "change of status, profile picture, favorite sitcoms etc." in keeping with the law of the land.
It seems that unless their overseas counterparts such as the big two as well as other popular sites such as Hi5, Bebo, LinkedIn and MySpace reach an agreement with Indian authorities on making user data originating and terminating in the country available on demand, they could soon be blocked by local Internet Service Providers (ISPs).
A spokesperson for ISPAI (ISP Assoc of India) clarified that preliminary talks had been held in this regard and ISPs had begun making preparations to block networking sites in the event of an official directive being issued. The ISPAI executive also sheepishly (no pun intended there either) admitted to tech2.com that he was in the process of figuring out a way to export his Facebook friend list to ibibo.com.
Spokespersons for both Google, which owns Orkut.com and Facebook declined to comment till they received any directives in writing. However along with Yahoo, AOL and MSN, both companies were adamant that "the privacy of our users is of the greatest importance to us" though special considerations were being made for "countries in which the growth potential of the market outweighed the prospect of challenging draconian security laws".
A senior NASSCOM official welcomed the move though she admitted that the industry was worried less about the security implications and more about the alarming decline in productivity. "Young engineers 'on the bench' at IT companies seem to be spending more time on Web 2.0 sites like Twitter, Digg & Last.fm instead of improving, for instance their SAP implementation skills," said the official.
"God forbid if all this online socializing actually translates into a real social life for young techies", sighed the worried official.

Google Watch : Google Sued for AdSense Fraud
Google Watch : Google Sued for AdSense FraudGoogle Sued for AdSense FraudTheresa Bradley A would-be AdSense customer is suing Google for $250,000 because it took her 100 hours to place and review AdSense advertisements on her Web site, which Google subsequently removed, Google Watch has learned.In a 25-page complaint filed earlier this week in San Francisco federal district court, Theresa B. Bradley, a management consultant and resident of Washington, D.C. accuses Google of several counts of fraud and misrepresentation, including misrepresentation in commercial advertising, and of "willfull, wanton, fraudulent and malicious" conduct regarding its AdSense product. The suit also alleges misrepresentation in interstate commerce.Bradley, owner of Brava Corp., alleges that her staff spent 100 hours placing and reviewing HTML code for Google AdSense on www.bravacorp.com. Once the code was placed, Bradley asked Google to remove several competing AdSense advertisements, as per the AdSense user agreement. Bradley vs GoogleAccording to the complaint, Google then completely removed AdSense from Bradley's site and accused Bradley of violating AdSense policies by fraudulently clicking on advertisements.Bradley denied clicking on the ads except to verify that the advertisers were not selling competing products.The AdSense terms of service prohibit customers from clicking on their own ads. Google provides a Preview Tool that helps customers judge the quality of AdSense advertisements on their site.Bradley did not return several requests for comment. Google responded only by saying the suit is without merit and that the company would defend itself vigorously.According to the complaint, Bradley's brief business relationship with Google caused her irreparable harm by damaging her reputation and the reputation of her products and
services.Bradley's Web site offers nutritional supplements, home spa rituals, and soft support women's jog bras, among other products. There is no shopping cart mechanism, and the site asks users to "visit us at a later date."According to her site, Bradley's "illustrative clients" include Kellogg-Brown and Root, Halliburton, The Wall Street Journal, Bear Stearns and Company, and the Catholic Diocese of Arlington, Va.Bradley apparently also helps hire engineers for deployment to Iraq, hires engineers for Hurricane Katrina relief and provides mental health services for children 0-7 years of age.Bradley also filed suit against Yahoo on August 1 in San Jose federal district court. Those documents were not available at the time of this writing. A Yahoo representative declined to comment.
Update #1: I've noticed that a lot of people are saying this is a publicity stunt. I can't say for sure that's the case, since Bradley never returned my calls, but I don't think that assumption is correct. She sued Yahoo on August 1st and Google on August 28, but never returned a phone call from me and never sent out any press releases. I found the lawsuit in court records. In addition, Bradley doesn't seem to have any way of monetizing any attention she receives from this. I think it's important to understand the difference between publicity seeking (such as the ClickDefense class action lawsuit) and a case such as this, which clearly makes the plaintiff look ridiculous.
Update #2: There are some funny threads on this lawsuit at WebmasterWorld, Geek Village and the DigitalPoint Forums.
Update #3: Theresa Bradley called me this morning to confirm the lawsuit. She informed me that she had an addendum to the complaint and would forward such via e-mail, but had to get off the phone before I could inquire further. I'll let you know when I've heard more.

Google has BANNED my account.....and dont know why ???
hey folks,

now i can only wait for their reply.WELL I DO APPOLIGISE FOR MY BAD LETTER SENT TO GOOGLE IN THIS REGARD PUBLICLY IN THIS BLOG.but friends ist it feels pain when u got busted without doing anything wrong??
plz comment.share your views.i want opinion.
thanking you
cl4wh4mm3rFrom the site of "stason.org.............grievience against Google Adsense
"........ConclusionWhile I understand that there is a lot of click fraud going on, and realise that Google needs a way to fight it, this study case clearly shows that:Innocent are much more likely to be hurt because there is justice system in place. Google plays God here - sorry, we can't tell you why you are guilty and we don't need to prove it to you. Good bye.It's darn easy to bring someone's AdSense account to a closure by Google - just arrange a surge of clicks on someone's site. You've already heard of botnets, right? And you've heard of people cracking captchas by making other people do the typing, right? And probably 10,000 other ways. It's probably much harder to make a dent in bigger sites with a lot of traffic, so smaller sites are much more vulnerable, since it's much easier to create a burst of clicks and get it on the Google fraud team radar.I'm wondering about the following: Google prohibits the publishers to click ads on their own sites - but that's silly: what if I see an ad that I'm genuinely interested in? It's so easy to forget about that prohibition and click on the ad - and boom, you get banned. Or your co-worker sitting on the same IP clicks some ads - how could he know about the prohibition? I'm not talking about going all day around and click on your site's ads, I'm talking about clicking a few of them here and there - it won't make the publisher more than a few dozens of cents. Why Google Adsense can't just not account for those few clicks, rather than count them as a fraud? Simply change the contract to say: any clicks coming from your IP will not be accounted as a revenue. That'd certainly help a lot of people: both the publishers and the Google AdSense team.Another problem is that when Google disables your account you lose all your earnings so far, even those that have happened before the illegal activity (which hopefully wasn't done by you, which was the case with me). i.e. if my account wouldn't have been re-enabled those $100+ dollars would have been lost.Also after notifying me that the account is disabled, Google has continued serving ads on my site, until I've removed their javascript code after I realised that the appeal was just their way to show that they listen. I wonder who was getting paid for those clicks generated during that period. If they have considered the site to be illegally generating clicks, were the advertisers burning their money for nothing?So, the next time you get excited by all those books and sites touting Google Ads as your greatest source of revenue, think twice before you waste your time and energy on something that is *not* under your control and can be taken away by a malicious user in co-operation with Google AdSense team.Google AdSense is undeniably a great tool when it works, but I'd definitely love to have a better control over it.......""How to Bring Google AdSense Down" Or "You are Guilty but We will not Tell You Why" and "How to Resurrect Your Google AdSense Account".

HTC ShiftMobile

- The screen hinge is significantly improved and feels really solid. Without putting it through 20,000 open / close cycles, we think it's fairly trustworthy, definitely good HTC gear.
- The microscopic keyboard keys are an absolute nightmare to type on with two hands if you've got normal human mitts. Unfortunately, it's just too small to use regularly, and too large to use with your thumbs; with that kind of real estate we'd have preferred a proper split thumb-board with a nice big track pad in the middle. Major bummer.
- The trackpad is pretty sensitive, but a little difficult to control. The machine itself is certainly snappy enough, though, even running Vista with Aero.
- Hitting SnapVUE / Windows Mobile-mode is instantaneous, albeit a little jarring -- especially since the screen is so huge and WinMo is so clearly not intended for it -- but it's nice to have a lighter weight interface than full-on Windows.
- Try though we might, we simply could not find a way to disengage the unit from its leather-bound case. Maybe this was outlined in the Shift's documentation, of which we received none. Quite annoying.
- HTC kindly bundles a screen protector, a spare clicky stylus, external USB hub with Ethernet (ahem, Air), and headphones with mic.
Update: Apparently the case is permanently bolted to the unit and can't be removed, part of some weird FCC requirement regarding antenna distance / SAR. At very least they HTC could have used Philips head screws (and not Torx) to facilitate ease of removal.
Mac OSX 10.5.3 Test Build Seeded to Developers
Apple's just released a OS X Leopard 10.5.3 update beta to developers, meaning that the patch is at least stable enough for widespread testing. Among the things being fixed are several memory leaks in CoreAnimation and iCal, but the final release won't be available until an estimated April or May. [Apple Insider]

Wikipedia reaches 10 million total articles
Wikipedia has turned itself, for better or for worse, in a one-stop information shop for many things on the web. Having faced criticism and receiving praise for the project, today the site is more alive than ever having reached a milestone of 10 million articles this past Wednesday if you count the 253 languages that have at least one article. The top Wikipedia is unsurprisingly the one written in English that includes 2.3 million articles followed by German and French which have yet to reach a million. Translations creating duplicates of the same page aside, it's an impressive figure and one that will continue to grow without a doubt.
There are other milestones Wikipedia is hoping to reach, such as people predicting when the the behemoth site will hit 10 million English articles. As a reference, Wikipedia reached 1 million English articles almost exactly two years ago, a relatively short time for so much information. FYI,
Apple’s License Agreement calls it illegal to Install Safari on Windows
People usually don’t read EULAs before installing any software, but it seems as if Apple forgot to read their own EULA before pushing Safari 3.1 out of their doors, in a very questionable fashion. If you are someone who reads and sticks with the terms, you can never install Safari for Windows on any machine which is not "Apple-labeled". Read the highlighted section of the image below:
"This License allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-labeled computer at a time."
The above sentence can only mean two things. Either Safari for Windows was only meant for Boot Camp users, or all PC users had to purchase a Mac to try Safari. Maybe, it was just an oversight, but it’s still damn funny.
I believe folks who were assigned the task of making Safari for Windows, simply borrowed the EULA from the Mac version of Safari, even without reviewing it. Nothing odd, even companies like Apple makes minor mistakes, but it’s pretty ironic that something which was meant to run on Windows was not meant to be installed on a PC.
Apple quickly responded by fixing the licensing terms of the Safari. No, they won’t really sue you for installing Safari on Windows. It would be pretty absurd.
Sharp Launches Mobile Phone for Bloggers
Sharp has launched a new mobile phone in Japan that features a small
QWERTY keyboard and a tool allowing users to easily update their blogs.
The
Sharp 922SH went on sale on Thursday and has a 3.5-inch display that
folds out to the side so the phone can be used more like a miniature
laptop than a traditional clamshell phone. The widescreen VGA display
has a resolution of 854 pixel by 480 pixels.
The phone has an RSS reader and a PC-style web browser in addition to one more adapted to mobile use.
There's
a three-row QWERTY keyboard above which sit hot keys for functions such
as digital mobile TV and the camera. There are also buttons for phone
functions, navigation keys and a shortcut key to Yahoo Mobile, the
mobile internet service offered by Softbank, which is the largest
shareholder in Yahoo Japan.
The phone works on the WCDMA
(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) used in Japan and the GSM
(Global System for Mobile Communications) networks found elsewhere. Its
features include Bluetooth and a 2MP main camera and 110,000-pixel
sub-camera for videoconferencing. It accepts Micro SD memory cards.
The
phone measures 56mm by 116mm by 17mm and weighs 132g. Battery life is
250 minutes of talk time on WCDMA and 270 minutes on GSM with standby
time at 340 hours and 310 hours respectively, said Sharp. TV viewing
time is 4.5 hours.
The phone is locked to the Softbank network in Japan and there are no plans at present to launch it overseas.

Samsung launches 10.2 MP L210 P-n-S Camera

Now isn't this bugger just as cute as a button? Even if red isn't your hue of choice, Samsung's L210 point-and-shoot comes in black and silver motifs too, and while the 10.2-megapixel sensor is probably a bit much for a shooter this size, we suppose Sammy's just following the trend. Aside from the pocket-friendly design and 3x optical zoom lens, you'll also find a 2.5-inch LCD monitor, red eye correction, optical and digital image stabilization, face detection, an SVGA movie mode and ten whole megabytes of internal storage. Should that fill up on you during your outing (we know, chances are slim), you can slam an SD / SDHC / MMC card in for additional space. Not too terribly shabby for $199.95, yeah?
Samsung's First Mobile TV Phone With AT&T
![]()
Samsung and AT&T have officially announced the arrival of the "Access"—Samsung's first device to support AT&T Mobile TV. The phone features a 2.3-inch landscape display, dual-band 3G and quad-band GSM, one-touch access to AT&T Mobile TV, Video Share, AT&T Mobile Music, Bluetooth, a microSD slot and a 1.3 megapixel camera with video. Pricing has not been announced, but you will be able to get your hands on one starting this May. Press release after the jump.
Intel Ups Speed of Quad-Core Processors
Intel unveiled two low-voltage, 45-nanometer server processors.
The quad-core Xeon L5400 Series chips run at 50 watts -- or 12.5 watts per core -- but their performance still reaches the 2.5-GHz mark. Intel is making the chips using the 45nm manufacturing process that it first used with its Penryn family of chips, which were unveiled last November.
The new chips deliver the same performance as their predecessors, the Xeon 5400 Series, but use 40% less power, according to a company spokesman.
Energy-efficient processors are gaining more attention as companies increasingly look to go green -- in order to save both power and money. For companies with large data centers, the cost of electricity can sap a significant portion of the IT budget.
"There is a class of customer that is looking more to economically- or environmentally-friendly designs," said Stephen Thorne, a product line manager in Intel's server platform group. "And there also are customers who are trying to pack as much performance as possible into their data center."
Thorne noted that there has been a call for energy-efficient processors in blade configurations. "A lot of users have power constraints or physical constraints," he added. "Say you have a fixed space in Manhattan. You can't expand the space, but with lower-energy processors, you could pack more servers into a rack because each server is using less power."
In January, Intel rival Advanced Micro Devices Inc. disclosed that it was picking up speed on delivering its own energy-efficient quad-core chip, the 9100E, which reportedly uses one-third less power than AMD Phenom chips. The 9100E had been slated on in-house AMD road maps to ship in either the second or third quarter. The chip is now on the docket to be released this quarter.
And the clock is quickly ticking down on the first quarter. So if AMD's new chip is still on track, it should ship this week.
Intel reported that its new Xeon processors have a 50% larger cache than its previous-generation, low-voltage quad-core Xeon processors. They also have 12MB of on-die cache and dedicated 1333-MHz front-side buses.
Thorne said Intel was able to lower the power consumption on the new chips through a combination of using the 45nm manufacturing process, running them at a slightly slower speed and lowering the voltage across all the cores to parse out the reduction.
Vendors supporting the new Xeon chips include Dell, Fujitsu, Hewlett-Packard, Hitachi, IBM and NEC.
Intel also announced that it expects to begin shipping its L5210 dual-core processor, which will boast a 40-watt rating, a clock speed of 3 GHz, a 6MB cache and a 1333-MHz front-side bus.
Sony Unveils First Internal Blu-ray Disc Drive
Sony Electronics unveiled its first internal Blu-ray disc (BD) ROM drive (BDU-X10S) for the computer. The drive offers consumers an option to upgrade their desktop to a Blu-ray player, which can also play DVDs and CDs.
The BDU-X10S now comes bundled with the CyberLink’s PowerDVD BD Edition software for playing movie titles, recorded Blu-ray disc home videos, DVD-ROMs and CD-ROMs. It also supports playback of recorded Blu-ray discs in MPEG-2 or H.264 format, standard DVD-Video discs or recorded DVDs encoded with MPEG-2 or AVCHD formats.
The internal drive allows fast and easy transfer of data or videos through its high-speed Serial ATA (SATA) interface. Its standard 5.25-inch form factor enables easy installation in desktop PCs running Microsoft Windows Vista or Windows XP operating systems.

AMD Intros New Phenom Chips And Triple-Core Processors
Advanced Micro Devices on Thursday announced new Phenom chips, including quad-core chips and its first triple-core processors for desktop PCs.
The company's triple-core Phenom X3 8000 series processors provide an option to mainstream PC buyers who don't want to spend on a quad-core processor but are looking for more performance than a dual-core processor, said Pat Moorhead, vice president of advanced marketing at AMD.
The chips could be used for high-definition video playback, casual mainstream gaming and productivity applications, Moorhead said.
The company's first triple-core processors include the Phenom X3 8400, which runs at 2.1GHz, and the Phenom X3 8600, which runs at 2.3GHz. Both will come with 1.5MB of L2 cache and 2MB of L3 cache.
AMD also launched three Phenom quad-core processors on Thursday — the Phenom X4 9750, which runs at 2.4Ghz; the Phenom X4 9850, which runs at 2.5GHz; and the Phenom 9100e, a low-voltage quad-core processor that runs at 1.8GHz and has a 65-watt power envelope during maximum usage. All the processors contain 2MB of L2 cache and 2MB of L3 cache.
PC makers will ship products with the quad-core processors in the second quarter, AMD said.
The triple-core processors are already shipping in volume to PC makers, AMD said. U.S. vendor ZT Systems will list PCs with the new triple-core Phenoms on Monday, with other "major OEMs" and system vendors shipping products next quarter, AMD said. Many major vendors, including Dell and Hewlett-Packard, have already hinted at including the processors in desktops.
Dell has listed plans to use the chip in its OptiPlex 740 business desktop systems. It will ship the triple-core OptiPlex in the second quarter, a company spokeswoman recently said, but she declined to specify which processor will run the desktop. Hewlett-Packard has also listed a desktop on its Bulgarian-language Web site with AMD's Phenom Triple-Core 8600B processor.
Mesh Computer, a PC vendor in the U.K., is offering the Matrix XXX Plus desktop with the Phenom X3 8400 processor and the Matrix XXX Pro desktop with the Phenom 8600 processor.
Because the triple-core chip is a new concept--set between the widely accepted dual- and quad-cores--it's unclear how it will fit in the market, said Dean McCarron, founder and principal at Mercury Research.
"You're going to get a performance enhancement with the extra core above and beyond a dual-core," McCarron said. But it also falls shy of a quad-core.
AMD designed the triple-core as a way to produce a cheaper chip. The triple-core processor is built on a quad-core CPU, with one core nonfunctional, McCarron said.
The triple-core chip gives AMD a tactical advantage over Intel, McCarron said. Intel will need to answer the triple-core chip with a product priced in the same range while delivering similar performance. Intel can take a dual-core or quad-core processor, adjust features like cache, and price it similar to AMD's triple-core processor, McCarron said.

12:19PMFor the indecisive among us who need a bit more than two but just can't wrap their wallets around four, AMD's out to show you exactly what three cores of computing magic can do. Make no mistake, we've been waiting quite some time for these buggers to ship, but they've finally made it into the capable hands of reviewers web-wide. The general consensus seems to be that the tri-core processors offer no real surprises: it performs better than a dual-core AMD CPU, yet worse than a quad-core AMD CPU. Needless to say, it tends to lag even further behind an Intel quad-core. Still, the Phenom X3 wouldn't be a terrible option if quad-core Intel chips were still as pricey as ever, but with it slashing prices a few weeks back, the X3 seems to lack the value AMD was hoping we'd see. Still, don't take our word for it -- there's lots and lots of words on the matter right down there.Read - HotHardware (...the X3 8750 should also appeal to modders on a budget.)Read - MaximumPC (Basically, it's a quad core with one core turned off.)Read - TweakTown (...a perfect choice to replace Athlon 64 X2s...)Read - PCPerspective (...isn't a slam dunk in performance or value...)Read - Bit-Tech (...Phenom X3 8750 is a good processor in isolation...)Read - Computer Shopper (...a worthy choice for Athlon X2 owners on a tight budget...)



comments)Cubans can now use cell phones, in 2008Forgive me for the remark on the title above, but yes, it's 2008 and the Cuban government has just now lifted a restriction on cell phone usage to its citizens. Before last Friday, when new President Raul Castro announced the change, only foreigners and government employees were allowed the use of mobile phones.Without touching on the politics behind the story, it's an amazing fact how Cuba had lagged so behind - measured in years, if not decades - on adopting technologies that for so many of us have become things of need or plain assumption on a day to day basis. Along with this change, Cubans will be allowed to buy computers and DVD players next month, those were also restricted items under the previous Castro regime. Now the only problem with all these great news, is that Cubans will have to pay "hard currency" for the items, this is because the normal currency used in the island is worth nearly nothing in global terms. The population then has to rely on cash remittances sent by relatives living abroad or the money tourists leave on the island for acquiring these very expensive services.
