Samsung Galaxy Note review
3:45 AM
Khyati
Catch this: ARM Cortex A9 dual core 1.4GHz processor 1GB of RAM a super AMOLED HD with whopping resolution of 1280 by 800, 10 hours of rock solid battery life 16 GB of flash memory 8 megapixel rear camera and a lot of class. That’s exactly what’s behind the latest and greatest Samsung right now. Yes you caught it right, I’m talking about the Galaxy Note. Have you already heard about this? It’s the one Samsung claims “sets you free” — in the sense that it can be both a phone and a tablet… except it never quite manages to set standards in either. Consider 5.3 inch screen both as a boon and a curse!!! The device runs on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) using Samsung’s “tweaked” TouchWiz UI (at this point, let’s face it, Samsung -TouchWiz...

Limited Budget MTS Android smartphones Review
With the Livewire and Mtag CDMA smartphones (both priced below Rs 6,000), MTS is making Android smartphones available for consumers with limited budgets. Both phones have a 2.8-inch touchscreen display - the Livewire has a resistive display, which is the primary reason for the lower price (Rs 4,999).
Mtag is priced slightly higher at Rs 5,499 and features a more sensitive and higher quality capacitive display. The display resolution on both is same (240 x 320 pixels), though the colors and brightness on the Mtag is clearly better than the Livewire. The build quality of both phones is surprisingly good.
Touch-sensitive Android buttons:
The Mtag has a matte finish on the back - providing better grip whereas Livewire has a white glossy finish...

Have you Googled on your Birthday?
Have you Googled on your Birthday? Now you might be thinking, what sort of wielder question is this. What is the connection of Google and your Birthday?
Ok, for those who don't know let me unveil the mystery.
Everybody knows that Google uses special logos (or doodles) to honor famous personalities, especially artists and scientists, on their birthdays. But you might be surprised to know that they do something very similar on your birthday as well.
Never miss a chance to visit the Google homepage on your birthday. Because Google would be waiting for you to surprise you with a special Birthday logo. And when you hover the mouse over that logo, it will greet you with some personalized text.
Now you might be wondering what is the magic...

A comparison: Samsung Galaxy Tab 750 and iPad 2
Hands-on of the handheld touch goodness iPad 2:
My need for a tablet was growing by the day, and I decided to go get a hands-on of the handheld touch goodness that was on display in a nondescript corner of a largely-TV-dominated-electronics store.
Immediately, I asked the not-so-informed executive to point me to the iPad 2, a product that I had my mind set on for a while. Here’s why.
It looks and feels amazingly sleek when you hold it. As Steve Jobs pointed out at the launch event, the device is thinner than the astoundingly thin iPhone. Of course, it’s still not exactly light, weighing in at 1.33 pounds.
Apple has a new 1GHz dual core chip it’s calling the A5, which has more than enough muscle for graphics processing.
There’s 512MB of...

IE7 Internet Explorer hangs on opening New Tab or Browser
I have seen many of the people searching for IE7 Internet Explorer 7.0 hangs while opening a new page or new tab or new browser.
Some of the symptoms are :
When I have a few IE7 windows open, I am often getting one browser page that will hang, lock up, not respond at all when I "Open in New Window" or "Open in New Tab" - it doesn't discriminate as I can have 2 or up to 10 tabs/browsers open on any of thousands of websites I visit.
It can happen at any time. I can have 2 or more tab browsers open or 2 or more separate browsers open and at any time when I "Open in New Window" or "Open in New Tab" - no particular number at all. Then the hang occurs.
I therefore am stuck with a hang that can cause all of the open IE windows/browsers to crash...

Know Whats Best Among Upcoming E-Readers
Amazon Kindles
Amazon announced three new e-ink Kindle models for fall 2011, including new touch-screen models. All are affordably priced from $79 to $189. The company has also generated huge buzz with the debut of its new colour 7-inch tablet, the $199 Kindle Fire. However, most of these new products won’t be out until mid-to-late November.
Verdict: Worth waiting for, especially considering the mystery surrounding the Kindle Fire.
Apple iPad
At $499, the iPad is two to six times more expensive than the e-reader products listed above — but as a full-fledged multimedia tablet that competes with some laptops, it’s really a different class of product. Nevertheless, iOS 5 has brought even more reading options, most notable of which is the new Newsstand app — basically an app store for magazines...

Now Facebook will reveal your real identity
Facebook's online privacy woes are well-known. But here's an offline one: its large database of profile photos can be victimised to determine you as you're travel walking the street.
A Carnegie Mellon University researcher today described how he built a database of nearly 25,000 photographs expropriated from students' Facebook profiles. Then he set up a desk in one of the campus buildings and asked few volunteers to peep into Webcams.
The results: face recognition software put a name to the face of 31 percent of the students after, on come, lower than trey seconds of rapid-fire comparisons.
In a few years, "facial visual searches may be as popular as today's text-based searches," says Alessandro Acquisti, who presented his development in...

How to find out Human Head Weight?
How much your head weighs? If someone asks this question, it seems to be funny to us. But did we ever try to get answer of this question? How can I weigh my head? Well, sometimes answer to this question may be terrible as well!!! Because some people might think that to weigh a head, I should ask some magician who will detach my head, then weigh it and again fix it. What about lying down and placing head on a scale?Thank God, Science has answer to it. So we should not rely upon above solutions. 1. Get a (very) large metric measuring tub placed into another tub and a friend. 2. Ask him to tie a rope on your leg and hang you upside down. 3. Fill the tub with enough water to fully submerge your head. 4. Make sure the tub is fully filled with water...
