Wireless sensors extend Internet's reach
2007-02-19 08:58:00
But critics say networks can be prone to malicious security attacks !!!LOS ANGELES - To the untrained eye, the sleek, airy building constructed atop a decommissioned nuclear reactor at the University of California, Los Angeles could pass for high-tech office space. A closer inspection of the glass-and-steel facade reveals dozens of miniature, low-resolution cameras and sensors . They're wirelessly linked to computers throughout the 6,000-square-foot space, keeping tabs on traffic flow in public areas and monitoring temperature, humidity and acoustics. The building serves as a testing ground for developing and perfecting wireless sensing technology to connect major chunks of the real world to the Internet . Such networks could monitor the environment for pollutants, gauge whether structures are at risk of collapse or remotely follow medical patients in real time. "I see this as the next wave of extending the Internet into the physical world," said computer scientist Deborah Estrin, who

Search engine trawls Castro speeches, not Web
2007-02-19 08:46:00
HAVANA - Cuba built an Internet search engine that allows users to trawl through speeches by Cuban leader Fidel Castro and other government sites, but does not browse Web pages outside the island. The search engine unveiled at a conference this week underscored restrictions on Internet access in communist-run Cuba, which the government blames on U.S. trade sanctions. Cubans cannot buy computers and Internet access is limited to state employees, academics and foreigners. Cubans line up for hours to send e-mails on post office terminals that cannot surf the World Wide Web. Passwords are sold on the black market allowing shared Internet use for limited hours, usually at night. Cuba's first search engine can search any subject, but only on Cuban servers, or the Cuban intranet, including 150,000 government sites and the state-run media. It has a special function key on the homepage to browse through hundreds of Castro's speeches since day one of his revolution in 1959. "The aim is to

Scientist: Frog could be 25 million years old
2007-02-19 08:41:00
Tiny amphibian was found completely preserved in amber!!!MEXICO CITY - A Mexican researcher announced the rare find of a tiny tree frog completely preserved in amber on Wednesday that he estimates lived about 25 million years ago. The chunk of amber containing the 0.4-inch frog was uncovered by a miner in southern Chiapas states in 2005 and was bought by a private collector, who lent it to scientists for study. Only a few preserved frogs have been found in chunks of amber — a stone formed by ancient tree sap — mostly in the Dominican Republic. Like those, the frog found in Chiapas was of the genus Craugastor, whose relatives still inhabit the region Biologist Gerardo Carbot of the Chiapas Natural History and Ecology Institute, who announced the discovery, said it was the first such frog found in amber in Mexico. Carbot said he would like to extract a sample from the frog's remains to see if they contain well-preserved DNA, in order to identify the frog's species. However, he e

o2 XDA Stealth
2007-02-20 11:22:00
The o2 Stealth is one of the first Windows Mobile Pocket PC to have a vertical slider with a numeric key pad. Similar designs like the HTC Wizard, T-Mobile MDA, and the Cingular 8525 are all pocket PC's with slide out keyboards but are missing the numeric keypad. When you have a Pocket PC there are times that you simply wish to dial a number not by pulling out your stylus or tap the display with you fingers. Since HTC is not manufacturing phones for o2 anymore, other companies are taking their place. The o2 Stealth is made by Gigabyte Communications from Taiwan who have been bringing many new Windows Mobile devices to the market as of late. How is the o2 Stealth overall? Does it compete with other HTC devices released by o2? Read on to find out!!Before the o2 stealth, the only Windows mobile devices that had a numeric keypad were Smartphones. The o2 stealth is the first Pocket PC to introduce a vertical slide out numeric keypad. The keypad has big buttons which makes it easy to dial


Motorola MPX220
2007-02-20 11:18:00
The Motorola MPx 220 is not a new phone to the market, in fact it is a couple years old. Old does not always necessarily mean bad because this phone can offer some of the same features that new phones offer. The MPx 220 in my opinion is one of the most beautiful flip phone's to be released thus far. The chrome panel on the front of the phone makes it stand out like no other. The MPx 220 is a Windows Mobile Smartphone and runs the 2003 version. The MPx comes in two colors; silver and black.The MPx 220 has an excellent design and looks awesome. The front of the phone has a chrome panel which makes the phone stand out. The phone comes in two colors; black and silver. The black version is not quite black but very dark maroon which looks black. The flip mechanism on the phone is great. When you open or close the phone you can hear a clicking sound which makes it secure. The camera is located on the front flip beside the LED flash.

NOKIA N73
2007-02-20 10:57:00
Sometimes I wonder what the mobile phone industry would be like if each manufacturer was limited to, say, five new releases per year. Ideally they'd be forced to divvy up their wares into clearly defined segments and make one exemplary model per segment. For instance, a company might make one excellent smartphone, one super high-end multimedia phone, one slim/fashion phone, one solid mid-range phone, and one inexpensive or specialty phone. And that's it. That way if you wanted a high-end multimedia phone you'd only have to choose which company's version you prefer ... and not from the four or five models offered by each company, each with a slightly different feature set, form factor, and design.Alas, we live in a free market economy and as such are subject to the good and the bad that comes with almost unlimited choice in the marketplace. So rather than offering us a single ultimate multimedia phone, Nokia gives us the entire N-series, a range of mobile devices that includes the "


HTC Excalibur
2007-02-20 10:54:00
HTC has done it again, introducing their first one-handed QWERTY Smartphone: the HTC Excalibur . The Excalibur is also known as the T-Mobile DASH and the HTC S620. The S620 is a direct competitor of the Motorola Q but offers a lot more features in a smaller more compact design. The Motorola Q GSM version has still not been released and the S620 may take all of its potential sales. The S620 has Windows Mobile 5, 200 MHz processor, built in Wi-Fi, GPRS and EDGE. The S620 is smaller than the Q and has better battery life too. Is the Excalibur worth getting? Should you renew your contract to get it? Read on to find out!!The S620 is very small in size. Compared to the Motorola Q, the it is smaller in length but slightly thicker in width. The whole phone has a soft rubber feel and comes in black. The phone was designed very well. One design aspect of this phone I liked a lot is where the expandable memory is located. Usually phone's expandable memory is either located on the out side or und


Nokia N80 Review
2007-02-20 10:52:00
IntroductionWhy is it that so many mobile phones are almost perfect, but none can quite achieve perfection? I'm not talking about "You can't please all of the people all of the time" type imperfection, either. I'm talking about design and functionality choices that leave me scratching my head and asking, "What were they thinking?"The Nokia N80 is a perfect example of the incredible frustration caused by an almost perfect product. With a 3 megapixel camera, high-resolution display, Symbian OS, and built-in WiFI, the N80 looks to be the perfect phone — on paper. But once in hand, I found two of the N80's flaws, in particular, annoying enough to make me pull my SIM card and put the phone back in its box.Granted, I took the N80's $599 retail price into account when considering said flaws. So don't get me wrong: the N80 is a seriously powerful device with alot going for it. But if you spent $600 on a mobile phone, you'd want perfection, too, right?DesignThe N80 is a little brick of


Samsung SGH-T629 Review
2007-02-20 10:50:00
IntroductionSliders, sliders everywhere but nary a black one in sight. Samsung 's new t629 slider phone takes the place of the t809 in T-Mobile's lineup, trading in all-black chic for silver sleek while leaving the rest of the handset mainly the same. Why the change? Is the t629 really any better than the t809 it replaces? I guess that depends on which you prefer, black or silver. As the adage goes, beauty is only skin deep, and there are some notable changes to this latest Samsung slider - most importantly, perhaps, being compatibility with T-Mobile's new "myFaves" service plan. The t629 carries on Samsung's tradition of making head-turning handsets with brilliant displays, though it lacks the t809's ingenious swivel camera housing. On the other hand, it makes up for one of the t809's major shortcomings: battery life. Read on to get the scoop. DesignAt 99 x 51 x 14mm, or just over half an inch thick, the t629 certainly qualifies as a slim phone, if not quite as thin as Samsung


BlackBerry RIM 8100 Pearl Review
2007-02-20 10:40:00
IntroductionBlackBerry PDA phones have become so synonymous with on-the-go email over that terms like "BlackBerry Thumb" (a form of Repetitive Stress Injury) and "BlackBerry Addiction" (a form of, well, addiction) are becoming part of our cultural lexicon. Ask around and odds are you know at least a few people who own BlackBerries, and at least one who feels utterly naked without theirs.BlackBerry has recently introduced it's first "consumer model," the T-Mobile exclusive BlackBerry Pearl 8100. The Pearl is not only the smallest BlackBerry ever, but it's also the first to incorporate multimedia features generally deemed unnecessary by the traditionally corporate BlackBerry clientele.With a 1.3 MP camera and media player in its corner, can the Pearl win the masses over to the BlackBerry way of life? Maybe. The Pearl is an eye-catching phone that packs a ton of functionality into its shiny little body. But it's half-dialing/half-typing keypad is tiny and evidence of BlackBerry's corp

Sleek BlackBerry 8800 Lacks Some Features
2007-02-22 06:19:00
The BlackBerry 8800 smart phone is a departure from previous BlackBerries. It is both more mainstream and more refined. But it also suffers from some missing features that diminish the attractiveness of this otherwise elegant device. After its successful foray into the consumer market with the black berry perl, Research In Motion. RIM set out to give the 8800 a bit more swagger than previous business-oriented BlackBerries. As is typically the case with RIM, everything it did on the 8800, it did very well. But many users will miss some of the features that RIM chose not to support, most notably 3G and Wi-Fi. Bottom line: We liked the BlackBerry 8800 a lot. Depending on your needs, however, you may not be as enthusiastic. New Look and Feel The first thing you're likely to notice about the BlackBerry 8800 is that it looks and feels less like older BlackBerry models and more like the current crop of best-selling smart phones, such as the Motorola Q and Samsung BlackJack. It's still a

In one of the award shows being held (at this point of time) in Bombay's MMRDA ground , actor Saif Ali Khan has been nominated for his superb acting in 'Omkara' .
