Windows 8 Taskbar Image Has Leaked

Posted: 15 Mar 2011 04:54 AM PDT

A few days ago, we published some leaked images of the desktop of windows 8. Now here we have one more leaked image of the taskbar of windows 8. My Digital Life forum user Vlad62 posted new images on Saturday.

The two screenshots leaked do not show much changes, but is further proof that Microsoft is pushing with its new taskbar changes. We continue to see the Windows Live ID userpic in the right corner. Another small change is that the language bar now shows three letters instead of two, for the language abbreviation. Also interestingly noted, is that the placement of the icons within the taskbar remains the same, despite some screenshots floating around showing the icons centered within the taskbar.

Microsoft has enforced a strict NDA, as well as including traceable elements within the latest Windows 8 builds. This has prevented any possible build leaks, but it won't stop others from releasing screenshots, which we are sure to see in the near future.

Thanks

Posted: 15 Mar 2011 03:47 AM PDT

T-Mobile Sidekick 4G from Samsung announced and coming later this spring.New Sidekick 4G is a lightning-fast and stylish communication hub, running on T-Mobile’s HSPA+ network, the Sidekick sports a 3.5-inch display, front-facing camera, runs Android 2.2 and of course has a full-QWERTY pop-out keyboard…….

 

T-Mobile USA Inc. and Samsung Telecommunications America (Samsung Mobile), the No. 1 mobile phone provider in the U.S. unveiled the new T-Mobile Sidekick 4G by Samsung. The new Android powered smartphone pays tribute to its heritage with its stylish good looks and a killer keyboard while redefining messaging and upgrading to 4G speeds. One of T-Mobile‘s fastest smartphones running on America’s Largest 4G Network, the new Sidekick 4G is capable of delivering theoretical peak download speeds of up to 21 Mbps.The T-Mobile Sidekick has long been known for its innovative and distinctive design, and the Sidekick 4G does not disappoint. The 3.5-inch display marks the first Sidekick to feature a touch screen and its sturdy pop-tilt hinge reveals the previously acclaimed, five-row QWERTY keyboard that has long been a Sidekick hallmark and the reason behind its status as an exceptional messaging device.

 

The new Sidekick 4G leverages its quality keyboard along with Sidekick Group Text and Cloud Text to redefine messaging. Sidekick’s Group Text feature lets customers create, name, manage and participate in reply-all group text conversations, enabling them to lead their network in conversation and social planning. Group Text breathes new life into one of the most popular forms of messaging allowing Sidekick 4G customers to initiate and share the benefit of the application with SMS-capable devices from flip phones to smartphones. In addition, Cloud Text provides the option to text with friends or groups across platforms, whether from the comfort of their PC’s large screen and keyboard, or from their new Sidekick 4G.The new Sidekick 4G also comes preloaded with Facebook and Twitter applications and provides easy interaction with customers’ social networks by allowing them to update their status from the notification pane and browse their feeds from the home screen. They have the ability to sync their social network contacts to the phone’s address book, which lets them post to their friends’ walls or comment on their status. And multitasking is easier than ever with the Sidekick 4G‘s jump key, an easy-to-access physical button that enables customers to quickly switch between active applications, even during a phone call or assign keyboard shortcuts to their favorite functions or applications.

 

“Backed by the faster speeds on T-Mobile’s 4G network, the new Sidekick 4G offers customers both speed and style,” said Andrew Sherrard, senior vice president, product management, T-Mobile USA. “We’ve reinvented the messaging experience that made the Sidekick such an iconic device, and supercharged it with communication and entertainment experiences that take full advantage of our 4G network.”Dale Sohn, president of Samsung Mobile, said, “We are proud that T-Mobile selected Samsung to help create the next-generation Sidekick and carry the iconic Sidekick brand and device to the next level. Samsung redesigned the new Sidekick 4G with our best-in-class hardware, combined with T-Mobile’s 4G network speeds, the Android operating system, and unique messaging and entertainment features, to make this a perfect match for both loyal Sidekick fans and new Sidekick owners.”

 

In addition to a communication hub, the new Sidekick 4G is now an entertainment hub. With speeds as fast as home broadband, enjoying a favorite TV show or surfing the Web on the go is a breeze. Sidekick’s Media Room features one place to enjoy music, videos, movies, YouTube, T-Mobile TV and Slacker Radio, and to search for content regardless of the source. The integrated media player, also accessible through the Media Room, spans across all media including music, video and Internet radio. Customers also have the option to rent or purchase their favorite movies and TV programs directly from the Samsung Media Hub which offers a robust collection of movie and next-day TV show titles from CBS, Fox, MTV Networks, NBC Universal, Paramount and Warner Bros. Customers now have the option to place Media Hub charges directly to their monthly T-Mobile service bill.

 

Complementing the messaging communication features, the new Sidekick 4G is equipped with a VGA front-facing camera and pre-installed T-Mobile Video Chat powered by Qik to ensure you are always present with your social circle. Powered by Android 2.2 (Froyo) and a speedy 1 GHz Cortex A8 Hummingbird processor, so consumers can keep up with their favorite blogs while on the move, search for the must-try dinner spots and map the way to their next destination – all at blazing fast speeds. The new smartphone will also offer dynamic media features and integrated Google services, including Gmail, Google Maps and access to thousands of applications on Android Market.

 

The new Sidekick 4G also comes equipped with DriveSmart from T-Mobile, a first-of-its kind service from a U.S. carrier, that helps prevent distracted driving. When initiated, DriveSmart Basic provides automatic incoming call and message management, sending a customizable note to callers and senders, letting them know that the recipient is driving and will respond when it’s safe. DriveSmart Plus offers the same functionality with the added capability to automatically activate when the handset is in a moving vehicle, as well as advanced parental controls for enhanced peace of mind when teen drivers are behind the wheel.Offered exclusively to T-Mobile customers, the new T-Mobile Sidekick 4G is expected to be available later this spring in two stylish colors – matte black or pearl magenta.

Times Square Video Billboards Hacked With iPhone 4

Posted: 15 Mar 2011 12:11 AM PDT

A video has uploaded to YouTube yesterday, showing a guy in a red jacket stands in front of a giant video billboard in Times Square. He has simply plugged in the the transmitter in iPhone headphone jack and play back any video clip. The transmitter instantly sends the video signal to the video repeater and the video repeater overrides any video screen that it's being held next to.

According to the user who uploaded the video, BITcrash44, the whole process was relatively simple:

the way it works is pretty simple: plug in my transmitter into the iphone 4 and play back any video clip. you can play it through the ipod feature or through the camera roll. the transmitter instantly sends the video signal to the video repeater and the video repeater overrides any video screen that it’s being held next to. it doesn’t matter what shape or size the hacked screen is because the hack video will simply keep its correct dimensions and the rest of the hacked space will stay black.

The guy is working on this hack and has promised that he is going to post a video soon showing how he made this prototype.

Check out the video :

Rumor: iPhone 5 Will Support Two SIM Cards

Posted: 14 Mar 2011 11:55 PM PDT

According to the report of the Chinese blog iDealsChina, the iPhone 5 will hold two SIM cards supporting this way, dual phone lines. A few days ago this site also leaked the design images of iPhone 5. This looks somehow strange and we think that iDealsChina may got the information a bit wrong from their source. But if they are right, than this is great news.

"Heard from a reliable source that iPhone 5 will support 2 sim cards allowing you to use 2 phone lines. We hope to see some proof."

There are also rumors that iPhone 5 will include a Qualcomm Gobi Cellular data chipset.Verizon iPhone 4 is also having Gobi Cellular data chipset which allows users to use both GSM and CDMA connections in the same phone.Hence, may be iDealsChina meant this while they said about iPhone 5 will have dual SIM cards.

Dual SIM card will come handy for users as they will be able to keep both the carriers ie,Verizon and AT&T in the same iPhone which for sure give them better coverage.

iPhone 5 is expected to be released in June or July at WWDC 2011 with a slider physical keyboard and Aluminum Case.

Download Internet Explorer 9 Final Version

Posted: 14 Mar 2011 10:53 PM PDT

At last Microsoft has released Final Version of Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) for public. You can now download it from the Beauty of the Web site. The Redmond Tech giant is confident that IE9 graphics handling, security and privacy features put it on an even footing with Firefox, Chrome, Safari and others.

The two features that weren't available in the RC made it into the final release:

* IE 9 now supports the Do Not Track header that Mozilla proposed earlier this year. The feature is in addition to the much more active Tracking Protection feature that blocks third-party tracking sites. According to Rob Mauceri, Principal Group Program Manager for Internet Explorer, Do Not Track is implemented as a header and as part of the Document Object Model (DOM) API. As a result, says Mauceri, "sites can detect a user's intention not to be tracked."
* The Tracking Protection feature now covers ActiveX controls—the most popular of which is Adobe Flash. In the final version of Internet Explorer 9, requests from ActiveX controls go through the same Tracking Protection Lists that govern websites. If you've blocked a third-party site, it will be blocked for access in Flash and other ActiveX controls as well. I'll need to test this feature to see if it has an impact on local shared objects–aka "Flash cookies."

If you already have the Release Candidate or Beta versions installed, the RTW (release to world) build will be offered via Windows Update (presumably tomorrow morning). If you don’t have the RC or Beta builds installed, you’ll have to grab it manually.

Download Internet Explorer 9 for Windows Vista and 7.

Phil Schiller Confirms The White iPhone Availability

Posted: 14 Mar 2011 10:43 PM PDT

Phil Schiller from Apple Inc. has confirmed the availability of the white iPhone this spring. Eric Anderson, asked Phil, via Twitter about how he could obtain a white iPhone and Phil replied, "The white iPhone will be available this spring (and it is a beauty!). "

Here’s the original tweet:

Two things are interesting here. First is the fact an Apple employee has actually given some real information about the availability of the unicorn-like device, and second is the use of Twitter as the medium. With Schiller's account being verified by Twitter there is little doubt this is indeed the SVP himself.

It seems peculiar that Apple would release a white iPhone 4 model with the iPhone 5 allegedly around the corner. Stay with us for the latest update.

Google Launches Person Finder Tool To Help Tsunami Affected Peoples

Posted: 14 Mar 2011 10:08 PM PDT

Google has launched the Person Finder tool to help the affected people of Japan. Person Finder is a simple site that opens with the question, “What is Your Situation?” From there, users can select a link for “I’m Looking for Someone,” or “I Have Information About Someone.” The application already has thousands of records about people stored, and will remain in place as people in Japan struggle to reconnect with friends, relatives, colleagues and others. It’s also a useful resource for those outside Japan who may be looking for information about people who are there.

The tool is available in multiple languages. Google uses data from the social networking sites and across the Internet to find records on missing people – the company is currently tracking 64,600 records as of Saturday, March 12.

According to CNN, almost 80 percent of the Japanese population is online, and people are scouring social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook to find information from friends and family.

With the Intelligent Scene Selector in the iA mode, the Lumix ZS10 automatically switches to the appropriate mode according to the subject touched. For example, a touch on a human face switches to the portrait mode and a touch on the background or a landscape changes to the Scenery mode, while a touch on the subject close in the foreground changes to Macro mode. All menu settings are now available with touch control. The touch-screen operation excels not only for shooting, but also in playback, allowing the user to drag the images across the screen with a finger and browse the collection of photos as though flipping the pages of a book.

Newly adopted 14.1-megapixel MOS sensor and the advanced image processor Venus Engine FHD feature high speed, high sensitivity image recording to realize 1920×1080 full-HD movie recording and high speed burst shooting in high picture quality.

The high frame rate of 60i excels in recording moving subjects with outstanding smoothness. The videos also come with the high-quality stereo sound of Dolby Digital Stereo Creator, to offer highly realistic sound.

New iA features include the Intelligent Handheld Nightshot, which creates a beautiful night scenery with illumination by layering the images shot consecutively. Furthermore, the Intelligent Burst Shooting automatically sets the frame rate of burst shooting according to the subject’s movement–whether it moves fast or slow–utilizing the mechanism of Intelligent ISO Control. Other features of iA include: Motion Deblur, POWER OIS, Face Recognition, Face Detection, AF Tracking, Intelligent ISO Control, Intelligent Scene Selector and Intelligent Exposure. With iA, taking beautiful photos is possible for users at any skill level.

Yahoo Probably Sold Out Delicious for $5M

Posted: 14 Mar 2011 01:20 PM PDT

Though spokesmen from Yahoo is not yet saying it clearly but they are not denying completely. So rumor has it, Yahoo sold out Delicious for $5 million. To be noted here – Yahoo acquired Delicious in 2005 for $18 million.


Yahoo Sold out Delicious

Mashable and other tech site reporting that Yahoo sold out Delicious. It seems true as well, as yahoo previously reported that their $18 million dollar Delicious is not bringing them much. And according to Delicious founder who already left Yahoo, said Yahoo never tried to really monetized Delicious.

And the information flying around its could not be said that in this situation $5 million is a bad price for Delicious.

A Yahoo rep emailed Mashable back and said -

"Part of our organizational streamlining involves shifting our investment in underperforming or off-strategy products to put better focus on our core strengths and fund new innovation in the next year and beyond.

"We're actively thinking about the future of Delicious and we believe there is a home outside the company that would make more sense for the service, our users and our shareholders. We're in the process of exploring a variety of options and will communicate specific plans when appropriate."

Still we hope Delicious could find a new home and could regain back its position. What do you think?

Thanks: Mashable
