Sony slides-in the "X-Series" silently...


Here is the new X-series Sony Vaio from Sony and it was unveiled in an event in New York City. They are going to cost you a cool $1300 but there are lot of justifications for that price. It is made up of carbon fibre and guess what it is the lightest weighing notebook ever made at a cool 1.6 pounds. Of course this is unbelievable but you have to believe me on this.


Not just that but this beauty is equipped with a 2 GHz atom processor and they are now running Windows 7 Operating system which is a WOW! It also sports a 2GB ram and 128 GB solid state drive along with a 11.1" widescreen display. You can also extend the regular battery to a 14 hour long working battery.

Windows 7 Launch Party Gift Boxes started arriving...



Previously I told you about Windows 7 launch party and the perks that Microsoft offers you, if you are one of those lucky winners who will host the Windows 7 launch party. Now the packs have started arriving and Gizmodo got its hands on one such gift box and guess what they have shown up those pics that were hosted on one of those lucky guy's website. Here they are.



As the pics are self explanatory, I am not detailing anything. But let me point out what is what. There is the party box which includes the contents of the box, a Windows 7 poster, a bag that is tattooed with Windows 7 logo, four streamers, some balloons, Win 7 cocktail napkins and of course the best part is here. You will also get a Windows 7 Ultimate signature edition - signed by Steve Ballmer himself. That's a catch isn't it???

Evolution of Cell phone - By Benj Edwards...


Here's an interesting article written by Benj Edwards for PC World website about the evolution of cellphones and he has got some great stuff about how the cell phones and their technology have evolved over time. It is one of the fastest growing areas of technology and definitely, we need to keep an eye on what's happening, what has happened and what will be happening. Here is a glimpse of the article "Evolution of The Cell Phone" by Benj Edwards.

In his Words, "From enormous, 80-pound, car-mounted beasts to tiny terminals in our back pockets, mobile phones have come a long way. What once cost thousands, weighed 2 pounds, and packed 60 minutes of battery life now costs $99, weighs 4 ounces, and packs 5 to 10 hours of battery life and also includes a full-fledged computer, a video camera, audio/video playback, and high-speed Internet access." This is what he says about the evolution of cell phones.

This article interested me a lot and I thought it might be as interesting to you as well. Just thought to share with you. Follow the link below.

Back up your cds/dvds and stay safe...


Basically you use the cds and dvd media for backing up your files or just for file transfer. But if you have some serious stuff with you and if you need to save those files, then you seriously need to consider backing them up. The best method to back up according to me is cd/dvd backup. I don't feel secure with those external hard drives, because if there is some slight problem with a hard drive that measures upto 1 TB, then the whole bunch of files will be damaged and in most cases, there won't be any hope for retrieval.

Ok now the best chance for you is cd/dvd media. But do you know that if you are not using this kinda media for a while or if they are stored in a dusty place or in open air, they are susceptible to damage or wear and tear. This means you need to do back ups again and again. That's the only headache with them. But this is the best method I believe. Make your data safe and live happily...

Why should we blog???

Why should anyone blog? Is blogging a fashion, is this a trend, is blogging done just to impress your girlfriend or to make others around you look stupid. None of the above is my answer. Why I started blogging? I clearly don't remember but I surely can say that it was my evergrowing curiosity to know what's new. This curiosity of mine has pushed me, rather dragged me into this trade.

Firstly, it was like a hobby for me to write some stupid things in my blog, then entered the new softwares that I used. I even blogged about politics, sports and stuff like that. But in the initial days, I did not take it seriously. But once my audience increased I started blogging on different issues and most of the time the words in the blog came from my heart rather than my mind. But I never thought this to be a fashion, trend or something like that. That's the main reason that I did not tell to anyone about my blog unless asked by them. A very few people know about my blog till date. But let me tell you, who ever knew my blog, they know one thing that there is no unrelevant hatred, questionable voilence, unreasonable use of filthy language.

But these days when I visit some blogs, they are either solely maintained for money or just as a fashion statement. I rarely find genuine blogs except for a few, where the blogger keeps his heart out when he writes something and you can very rarely find an objection in the blogs. But actually why should we blog?

Blogging brings out the inner self in you. You might want to show your anger on some issue, you might want to write what you like about a movie, or you might want to show your feelings on some issue but can't say that publicly. Here is a solution, the blogs help you vent out your anger, spread your love and show your feelings to the entire world. One final word, blog more not to hog the limelight but to flag off your inner feelings and race towards the eternal truth "Living Life King-Size"...

Apple Tablet - New Details emerge amidst rumors of non-existence....


There were so many rumors regarding the ipod Touch with a cam in it but it turned out that they all are just rumors. And now there are rumors that are going around about the Tablet from Apple. Previously mentioned that it will be coming out in the first quarter of 2010 and the rumors are now pretty confident that it is going to be at least announced in that time frame. These rumors come into light just days after details emerge about the Tablet PC "Courier" from Microsoft.

New details about the Tablet from Apple say that::

* Apple has created 3 different variants of the Tablet PC.
* It runs on Apple Iphone OS

* They have given out details that it looks exactly like Iphone 3G and it sure does have a curvy back, just like the Iphone 3G.
* It will come in two models, one with the 3G enabled and the other without the 3g technology in it, which means there will be a difference in price as well.
* Screen resolution will be something close to 5X or 6X compared to the screen resolution of the present iphones and ipod touchs'.
* It is a direct competition to netbooks.

* It will most probably be announced by Apple on or before January 19, 2010.


Hope you like these rumors. Stay cool, will update you with more rumors until Apple makes an official statement about this cute little thing.

Did you hear of a camera phone - Samsung SCH-W880 ???



We have been witnessing so many camera phones coming out these days and virtually there are more camera phones out in the market than the actual cameras. Now you are going to hear something different. Its a phone camera from Samsung and it is called Samsung SCH-W880. You heard it right, it is a phone camera.


You have heard of cameras being implanted into cell-phones, iphones, blackberrys, ipods and even tablet pcs but this is new from samsung, where a phone is implanted into a camera which has a 12MP resolution and 3X optical zoom. How cool is this?

Samsung has done it the other way and stuffed a 3G phone into a 12MP camera. And just not that the camera isn't just any other camera but it has shutter and zoom that extends out and the screen is a monstrous 3.3 - inch WVGA AMOLED display. It also comes with GPS, WiFi, bluetooth, microSD slot, HSDPA data and HD video. But there is one sad news, this phone camera is made just for Korea and it may not be launched around the world.

World's longest bridge - 22 km long...


Qatar-Bahrain causeway is going to feature the world's longest bridge ever built and it is going to connect the west coast of Qatar to the east coast of Bahrain. It is going to measure a whopping 22km which is almost equal to 13 miles and this project is going to go ahead in 2010. It is going to be built over a period of four-and-a-half years period.

Bahrain and Qatar have allocated a budget of $500 million just to start the project and it is definitely going to cross that limit for sure. It will be equipped with a 13 metre wide railroad bridge and the travel time between Qatar and Bahrain is going to be reduced to a mere 30 minutes from the present travel time of 4 and a half hours.

Microsoft Tablet PC - "Courier" comes up stealthily...


Courier is the new tablet PC that is cooking in Microsoft compound. It was hidden under wraps until yesterday but not anymore. Till now there are rumors about the Apple tablet and now Microsoft's Courier takes over from here on.


Courier is a dual screen tablet PC from Microsoft with multi-touch interface. I am very much thrilled watching the video of this tablet in action. But definitely it has got a tough user interface which will take some time to get into our minds. The dual 7-inch screens are designed for writing, flicking and doing what not. It also sports a camera for those lens hungry guys.
