Sony’s 8” laptop

vp2

Sony has launched such small laptop that you can fit it in your pocket. With it’s 8” display and some decent processor this might be the most powerful thing that you ever put in your pocket.

The pricing and weight is not specified right now but I am pretty sure it’s gonna be one expensive thing you put in your pocket too.

Wait for 2009 for further information.

toshiba-128gb-flash-small-3

Well, maybe the year of the SSD is finally coming. When the first intro of SSD it was not more than 64GB now come this 2009 it will grow as much as 512GB which Toshiba promises the laptop users. Well if 512GB sounds big enough then it will be a good thing for you if not then still it’s something advancement in technology.

Windows 7 beta preview

I’ve got a chance to download the leaked version of Windows 7. I installed it in my Vmware and tested it. So far it’s relatively fast,even in the vmware and the general menus and options are much more user friendly than Vista. Even though there are lot of features missing from this beta version I’m sure there are lot of things to come in the near future. I’ll soon install it in my computer rather than in vmware and tell you the true review.

For now the preview video:-

New Features of Windows 7

Ok since everyone’s talking about it, let us also take a quick look at the Windows 7. What are the instant changes you will notice and what you will have to get used to if you are ought to use Windows 7.

 

Aero Shake

Click the title bar and shake it to minimize all the background windows and do it again to maximize them.

That amazing “multi-touch”

We all know the highly hyped multi-touch software.

All new improved taskbar

This must be my favorite feature of all, the highly improved taskbar, also known as superbar. It has got the live thumbnail preview, jumplist and many more.

Customizable Color Hover

It’s not much but atleast some control over your taskbar.

Windows Docking Feature:-

Drag your window too far to the left and window will automatically resize that window depending on where you drag. The left far-end means covering the half screen, the right far-end means covering the other half screen and the upper drag means full-screen.

My Life as a Beta

world_beta

In these days we depend too much on technology and it’s hard to keep up with the technology. As our life depends too much on the technology, developers also have to perform some hardcore test which is why Beta version and Release Candidate are so popular these days. And that made me think, at this very moment I’m using lot of beta versioned products than the full version some of them are Windows Vista SP2 Beta, Windows Live Messenger Beta, Windows Live Writer Beta, Gmail Beta, Mozilla Firefox 3.1 Beta, IE 8 Beta. And with all these Beta programs do you really think Beta software are norm these days? And tell us how many beta programs do you use?

Mozilla Fennec mobile browser : Review

 

To be quite honest it’s not a great experience surfing the web in your mobile device. It doesn’t even come close to the desktop browsing but new browsers are emerging to change just that. Now even Mozilla is stepping up to the mobile world. Having the number one browser (Firefox) for the desktop, Mozilla is now on the verge of launching the Fennec. Unfortunately the Alpha version is only available for OS2008 “Maemo” i.e on Nokia N810 and N800 Internet Tablet. But you can test the Alpha version in your Windows, Linux or Mac.

How to control your Windows PC with your Windows Mobile Device


Recently I’ve been trying to control my Windows PC with my Windows Mobile Phone but I couldn’t find a better help in the Internet. After lot of research and trial I finally managed to do what I been wanting to do for a week. Now I’m sharing it so that someone like me might also find this helpful someday.

Ok, so what do you think the idea of controlling your Windows PC with your Windows Mobile Device? How would you like to run the Windows application on your Windows Mobile Device? I know we all have imagined it at some point. So here’s making your imagination to reality.

Remote Controlling your PC (Part 1)

Remote Controlling your PC (Part 2)

Sorry for the blurry video though. Youtube just won’t upload 1.7GB video!!

Related Links:- RDM+

Technorati Tags: ,,,,

 

Steps:-

1. Go to http://www.rdmplus.com

2. Download the Remote Desktop for Mobiles.

3. Run the setup.

4. You will be asked for the Account name, Password. (this is used when you try to make a connection to your PC)

5. After you register a confirmation will be sent to your email address. Confirm it and soon after you will be send with your Computer Id, username and password. (Copy that Computer Id, you’ll need it)

6. Before the completion of the installation don’t forget to plug in your Windows Mobile device in your computer so that it can be installed in your remote controlling device too.

7. Once the installation completes, on your windows mobile device, run RDM+ application.

8. You’ll be asked to buy the software but you can run the trial version too.

9. Now go to Menu and make a new connection.

10. Enter the previously provided computer id, username and password and press connect. (Make sure your wi-fi or internet connection is enabled)

11. Once the connection is made feel free to play with the options.

12. Now you get your own PC in your pocket.

Since, you got that, why not try to fool someone, letting the computer do things automatically, but you know you are controlling the whole thing. A Perfect Sci-fi scare for this Halloween?? Who am I kidding who will get scared of computer anyway!!

An inexpensive Touchless!!

If you watch the video above then you’ll know that touchless features are becoming more and more reality than a fantasy in Hollywood. The way to control your PC with the flow of the hand has become more easier than before, without the need of expensive equipment, all you need is a webcam. Ok so maybe I’m just exaggerating a bit too much but Touchless program tries to replicate what the expensive equipment does. Although it’s in infant stage and open source it’s still in development but Touchless is just a sample of what we can achieve from these kinds of programs.

New changes on Youtube

If you use youtube.com much often you might or might not have noticed the new changes , whatever be the case there are some slight changes that was expected and some big changes that was necessary.

Theater View and Lights off mode:-

The one which is implied to long videos only is the Theatre mode and Lights off mode (exactly like in hulu.com). Here’s an example of it.

Click to buy Ads:-

youtube_clicktobuy

We all know this was coming sooner or later. Since video is the best way to sell some product Youtube has now made it easy for the buyer to directly review the item and buy it off online.

Is Apple losing it?

I mean first the stupid way they hire so called “geniuses” and second Mac Pro giving those toxic vapors and damaging our health???

Here are the questions you typically get on interview if you are ought to work for Apple:-

What is special about the Mac Pro’s current Ram setup?
If a user account keeps crashing on login what do you do?
What are 3 keyboard combinations you can boot your computer with?
Are you familiar with OS 9?
If a customer asks you to sync music from their iPod to computer, what do you say?

What is Automator and what does it do?
How do you answer a customer who wants to share music with his friend via iTunes?

And if you can answer five of those question then you qualify into the world of geniuses!!

Mac Pro cases giving out toxic fumes!!

macpro

If you have one of those Mac Pro then you might want to stay clear from it. According to research eight hour of those Mac Pro toxic vapor could not only irritate your skin, eye and respiratory tract but also could effect your bone marrow. Apple says they are working on this problem but if you ask me I would stay away from those Mac cases for now, who knew beauty could stink!!

It’s a mobile world!!!

Now if’s it one thing that needs to radically develop, it’s to give mobile a complete desktop experience which is why developers of browser are trying that much harder to give the feel of desktop by experimenting, modifying, and tweaking the mobile browser. Now that brings me to the latest updates and releases happening in mobile world.

The Release of Internet Explorer 6 on 6

wm61ie6mobile

Apart from the classic scrollbar, IE 6 on 6 now shows striking similarity with desktop appearance. But it still doesn’t support multi tab like desktop browser these days do, now we can only hope for it’s blazing rendering for heavy pages. The current update for IE 6 on 6 is quite a huge update for IE for Windows Mobile since it previously was running on the same engine built back on 1997. So lookout for this browser.

Internet Explorer 6 on 6 Video review:-

The Release of new interface on Safari for iPhone

NewSafari

To give the user the easy navigation, that same old desktop Safari experience and just to make the life a little easier Safari developers gives iPhone user a fresh new interface. As shown in the picture above the MobileSafari now gets the refresh icon within the address bar and the search bar side by side. If you’re a iPhone user then you might want to get this update.

The Release of Skyfire Open Beta

skyfire-web-browser

Some say skyfire is the next big thing to happen in the mobile browser world. It still is in Beta stage and also with lot of limitation it does one thing better than other, support for flash videos, which means watching youtube videos in it for video lover is like a gift from heaven. But since it’s in Beta stage we are hoping more in future.

Review of Skyfire on Video:-

The Release of Mobile Firefox sure before 2010

Since every other desktop browser is heading for the mobile version of the browser, Mozilla has also promised to release their mobile version of Firefox before 2010 so except something big to happen in the browsing world before 2010.

Mac Vs Windows Ads : Faceoff

Ok, lately I’ve been thinking. Ever since Microsoft started their ad campaign to promote Vista and also to counter the “Get a Mac” ad campaign, I started realizing the difference between Mac and Windows. Although the ad do try to tell you a lot about their product, try comparing the difference in attitude towards both of their advertisement too. You may be able to figure out why people like which product and how you may be able to distinguish the character of that person. Watch the video and differentiate.

“GET A MAC” Ads

Microsoft’s  Vista Ads

First ad

 

Second ad

 

Third ad

 

So who has the best ad?

G1 Phone first Ad

It’s changing the way  we speak English. Seriously!!!

Android Phone in action

google_phone_image

Ok the wait is almost over, everyone is anxiously anticipating how Android Phone works and how it can be the next big thing.
But lucky for us Gizmodo guys have got a video of how Android works.
Review on Video:-
http://gizmodo.com/5038586/an-in+depth-video-tour-of-android-09-an-almost-great-almost-os

Update:-

Review of G1 phone:-

So from what I’m hearing from most of the people is “What’s so great about this Android phone?” Ok, we all know that Google isn’t well known for it’s looks and glossy interface so that’s not what we people are looking forward to the Android phone so what is the big deal? First of all, it’s Google, which was the company which only had the best search engine with very simple site. Now it’s making it’s own O/S. And another factor for its popularity is because of the LInux platform that Android was built in.On top of everything Google just released it’s Chrome which is not just a browser but literally an O/S which works flawlessly with Google gears which means that Android can have unlimited apps that can be synchronized both with their server and on your desktop. All you need is a Gmail account and you have all your personal data with that account which you can share it with your friends and families and many more which makes it much more easy for us. So from this we can tell that Android is a self dependant phone. It has it’s own browser, apps, O/S an many more which makes it the next big thing in mobile world.

Scientist can read your mind

Neurology

Scientist in India have found a way to look what we saw in past, that means whatever you saw yesterday or day before that scientists can now see the same image in your brain. e.g a criminal trying to justify the crime he committed can be easily distinguish by scientists now, developed by Indian neuroscientist Champadi Raman Mukundan the BEOS software uses an EEG to determine whether the subject is recalling specific details of a crime as they are being read aloud. According to Mukundan, the system can distinguish between peoples' memories of events they witnessed and deeds they committed. A world without crime??? Let's hope so.

But now that it's been reviewed, it does much more than replace color of laser. It also covers wide angle and works on wider surfaces, be that carpet, rough surface, marble, glass and more. Microsoft has debut it's two mice: wireless Microsoft Explorer Mouse and Microsoft Explorer Mini Mouse. Get them at $99 and $79 respectively.

Bill Gates bids farewell to Microsoft

Ok, even though I'm busy these days, I had to post this, for god's sake it's Bill Gates retiring!!


Bill, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to post this had it not been for you, not that you invented internet and blog but because you revolutionized the way we look at computers. Although not perfect, but you did give some hope and always promised the world to make a better place and you always have been weather it be by donating tons of money or just by making softwares. Now that you have left Microsoft I not just look at you as another chairman of Microsoft but a great superhero in the computer world and a great man in the real world. You will be greatly missed but I wish you all the best for you future on Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Breast Motion Power Generator:- Yet another brilliant discovery

If storing image in vapor wasn't enough to perplex me, may be today is the day of discovering things and inventing things but anyway, this might sound a bit cheap for some but have you ever watched a big breasted girl run and watched the breast bounce and said to yourself "All that bounced energy going to waste"?? No?? Well, some did and they invented a breast motion power generator which they say can even charge iPods. Now my question is this, do they work on man too, I mean way below??

[Original Source]

Storing image in vapour: no joke!!
