Tata Docomo Releases COSTLY 3G Tariff Plans

Small Screen 3G Life Tariff Plans:

Nokia X5 Arrives in India; Priced at Rs. 10,499

Five months after its unveiling, the Nokia X5 is finally hitting our shores. The X5 slider phone looks like a cross between a Nokia E series smartphone and an XpressMusic handset. Nokia X5 is on sale for Rs. 10,499.

It sports a 5 megapixel camera with LED Flash, 2.36 inch QVGA display and a slide out QWERTY keypad. Storage is covered by a 200 MB internal memory and bundled 2 GB microSD memory card.

The phone sports dedicated music keys, and comes with a year's worth of unlimited music from Ovi Music. Nokia X5 music oriented features include a built in 'Surprise me!' option that plays random tracks when the phone is spun around. 'Playlist DJ' feature allows playlist creation tools. When music is not playing, you can shake the phone to see the number of new SMSes in the Inbox.

It runs the same Symbian Series 60 OS found on the E-series smartphones, which gives access to slew of social networking services. Connectivity options include Bluetooth 2.0, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and USB 2.0. Nokia X5's battery is claimed to last 16-days on standby and gives 24 hours of music playback.

Your Registry Might Be Corrupted. Run a Free Registry Scan to Fix Errors

If you are amongst the few who still give a damn about Orkut, you might have noticed something fishy going on over the past few hours. A large number of users are randomly flooding their friend’s scrapbooks (Orkut’s equivalent of Facebook Wall) with the following message:

It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that the “Bom Sabado!” messages are automatically generated by a script. However, it is not clear if this is simply a script exploiting vulnerability in Orkut, or have the accounts sending the automated scraps been compromised.
If you are amongst those affected, it’s highly recommended that you follow the steps highlighted below:

• Switch to the “older version” of Orkut.
• Log out of Orkut.
• Clean your browser’s cache and cookies.
• Log in and change your password and security question.

If you haven’t been affected yet, it is strongly advised that you avoid Orkut until the issue has been resolved. I managed to trigger the same exploit while researching this article. Recently other high profile websites like Twitter and YouTube also fell victim to XSS attacks.
This is a developing story; we will update this topic as soon as we learn more. Don’t forget to share your experience, if you have also been affected.

The VIA Labs VL750 is the first of its kind in the world, featuring a 4-channel memory controller with interleaving support to offer consumers blisteringly fast data transfer speeds of 100MB/s or more, depending on configuration.

The VIA Labs VL750’s four channel design dramatically improves data throughput over dual or single channel designs by offering more bandwidth and improved parallelization. “VIA Labs is ahead of the pack by some distance when it comes to offering a complete USB 3.0 eco-system that now includes host, hub and NAND flash controller products,” said David Hsu, Associate Vice President, VIA Labs, Inc. “The VIA Labs VL750 will pave the way for fast, affordable, and large capacity flash drives of 32GB or more. Large files will become infinitely more manageable with most transfers completing in just a few seconds.”

The VIA Labs VL750 features USB mass storage class ‘Bulk-Only Transport’ for universal compatibility across platforms such as Windows, Mac OSX, and Linux, and adds USB Attached SCSI Protocol (UASP) support for additional performance. The VIA Labs VL750 is fully compliant with the USB 3.0 specification, and is also backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 standards, offering class-leading performance in USB 2.0 mode with transfer speeds of up to 35 MB/s.

In addition to high performance, the VIA Labs VL750 is also designed for ease of implementation and support. Powered by multiple, advanced in-house PHYs, VL750 offers outstanding signal integrity characteristics and supports popular 2X-3X nm flash memories while consuming minimal power.

VIA Labs, Inc: Driving the USB 3.0 Revolution

The VIA Labs VL750 is a crucial element in the broader transition to high quality multimedia content and more immersive and compelling applications which inevitably demand exponentially larger files sizes and storage mediums. The VIA Labs range of USB 3.0 controllers is enabling faster data transfer speeds of up to 5GBs per second, a ten-fold speed increase over today’s USB 2.0 standards.

The emergence of larger and faster NAND flash memories is also an important factor in the quickly evolving portable data storage industry. Exponentially faster speeds and large densities have completely saturated the USB 2.0 bus, making USB 3.0 essential in harnessing the enormous potential of tomorrow’s NAND flash memory products.

India presses for BlackBerry access

India today began issuing letters to the country’s telecoms operators ordering them to make BlackBerry corporate e-mail and messenger services accessible to interception by security agencies or risk suspension of their licences.

The move marks the first step by the government towards implementing an ultimatum from the Ministry of Home Affairs on Thursday warning that India would block the services by the end of this month unless they were opened for monitoring.

“The issue is that the service providers have legal obligations to the government under their licences,” said one industry executive.

The legal obligations of Research In Motion, the Canadian company that makes the devices, were to the service providers, he said.

The order poses a dilemma for India’s 15 mobile operators, including industry leader Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Essar, the number three, as the technology for BlackBerry services is controlled by RIM.

The move also raises the temperature for RIM, which is locked in tense negotiations with the government over its encrypted enterprise e-mail service and messenger function amid concerns these might be misused by terrorists.

Spurred on by similar moves against RIM by the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, India is keen to tighten security ahead of the Commonwealth Games in October and to curb terrorist attacks originating from neighbouring Pakistan.

India is the world’s fastest growing mobile phone market with about 600m users and 10m-20m new customers being added every month.

While BlackBerry users number only about 1m, they are among the highest spending customers in a market in which growing competition is squeezing margins.

One operator said yesterday it had received a letter from the government ordering it to suspend the corporate e-mail or messenger service by the end of this month if a solution to the security issue was not reached. Operators were instructed to communicate the order to RIM.

India sets stringent conditions for mobile licence holders, requiring them to make all communications through their networks open to interception by security agencies.

Failure to do so can lead to the seizure of the operator’s network and equipment by the authorities and the suspension of the licence.

However, mobile operators say they doubt they have the technology to selectively block BlackBerry services.

The providers could instead suspend all domestic BlackBerry handsets from the network, but this would not prevent international users of the devices from using roaming services in India.

It is difficult to detect what type of handset is being used when an international customer enters a market using roaming services.

The government is expected to use the BlackBerry issue to put pressure on other internet-based communications systems, such as Google and Skype.

The names of the two internet providers were mentioned as next in line for scrutiny at a meeting last month between government officials and telecoms and internet service provider associations.

RIM’s stock fell 1.2 per cent to C$55.77 yesterday in early trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Oracle’s threat to Google mobile push

The legal war over software rights that Oracle launched against Google late on Thursday could hamper the internet company’s successful push into the smartphone market, industry analysts warned on Friday.

Oracle’s aggressive move was also a “nuclear deterrent” that would spread much more widely across the mobile devices industry, with long-term implications for many handset makers and carriers, said Mark Driver, an analyst at Gartner.

The lawsuit, filed in federal court in San Francisco, accuses Google of patent and copyright infringement over the inclusion of parts of Oracle’s Java software in its Android smartphone operating system.

Android, which Google makes available free of charge, has been taken up by handset makers including Motorola and HTC, and in the most recent quarter phones carrying the software overtook Apple’s iPhone in global sales.

Oracle acquired rights to Java, a set of tools that make it easier for software developers to write applications that run on many different operating systems, as part of its purchase of Sun Microsystems earlier this year.

The lawsuit shows that Oracle will seek to make more money from the rights to the widely used Java than Sun did, analysts said.

“You’re definitely going to get a stronger licence enforcement policy – and rightly so, perhaps,” said Al Hilwa, an analyst at IDC.

The lawsuit also serves as a warning to handset makers that are using Android and could tilt the balance in favour of other operating systems, including Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 software, which is due to be launched later this year, Mr Hilwa said.

If Google is forced to pay Oracle for the use of its technology, it could lead it to charge for Android, also making the software less attractive to handset makers, he added.

Many handset makers already have a licence that allows them to use Java. The prospect that Android would continue to grow fast raised the danger for Oracle that it would lose its power to charge a royalty on many new handsets, said Mr Driver.

However, some experts also warned that Oracle’s lawsuit could backfire, encouraging companies to look for alternatives to the Java technology.

At the time it bought Sun, Oracle executives said they would tread carefully in how they exercised their Java rights, since a heavy-handed approach could undermine the software’s standing as a de facto industry standard.

Legal battles over patents are rare between the technology industry’s leading players. Most maintain large portfolios of rights and have enough mutual self-interest to agree broad cross-licensing deals that give companies access to each others’ patents.

Oracle’s attack on Google highlights the internet company’s relatively weak patent portfolio, Mr Driver said.

A Guide on Protecting Your IP with Proxy

Below you will find another simple way to hide your IP address from anyone and thereby protect your P2P downloads from the law firms and rights owners.

Today we can see a trend of the copyright holders centraliz??? attempts of targeting BitTorrent file-sharers for unauthorized sharing of copyrighted content, particularly if we recall the recent effort of targeting thousands users within a mass lawsuit. If you don’t want to become the next target, it is highly recommended for you to safeguard your IP address against any of the unwanted attention, including the prying eyes of copyright owners. Although consumer groups like the EFF are doing their best to protect those accused, it’s better to make both your and their lives easier from the very beginning.

What people usually do today to protect themselves from troubles is using VPNs and Tor routers, though the latter is actually designed for web browsing rather than peer-to-peer, because in this case the data consumption rates reduce the connection speeds for other users.

However, there exist another simple and convenient way to protect yourself. It is the use of proxy, which will also allow you to hide your IP address while downloading illegal content with networks like BitTorrent.

It’s not hard to explain how it works, because it’s fairly simple. Even the newcomers to this digital world will understand a few easy steps they need to take.

First of all, you need to find a proxy server address. Just search the web for the lists of those, there are a lot. However, note that some of them are free, while some demand for a modest monthly fee.

Then launch the BitTorrent client you use for downloading and find the tab “connections” somewhere in preferences. For example, in uTorrent you go to options > preferences > connection.

There you need to type in the proxy server address you’ve found on the first step. First select “HTTP” from the drop down menu box located under “Proxy Server” line, then type in the IP address of the proxy server you want to use where it says “Proxy.” Bring your attention to the last 4 digits after the semicolon – they correspond to the port, which you need to enter in the “Port” option. For instance, you might have selected 192.168.135.54:8080.

That’s about it. Just click “OK” at the bottom of the window and your proxy preferences are configured. You can now sleep peacefully and be sure you won’t find yourself among those lists that are now submitted to ISPs in order to reveal the real identities of the infringers.
