This Diwali, Introducing 2 New Blogs

Author: Gaurav // Category:

Hi Readers,
Due to some personal reasons my new blog got delayed and is finally ready to shoot up this Diwali,
and it was due to the same reason that I was not able to update this blog between 14 Oct - 22 Oct,
I apologize for that.

Unlike this blog my new blog will contain more materials from my side rather than from the various sources all over the Intenet. It will contain my views, opinion, judgement so the name is

http://gauravsverdict.blogspot.com

and soon I will assign it a proper domain name.

We also have plans to introduce one more blog for Bollywood related news containing reviews, and all that kinda of stuff related to bollywood, and the named we have got is

bollyrev.blogspot.com

So this Diwali we will be introducing 2 new blogs.

So regularly check them out to stay tuned and connected to World.

Please be regular to my all blogs.

Xperia Now Has Thumb Access Interface

Author: Gaurav // Category:
With the launch of the Xperia X1 getting closer and closer (sometime towards the end of November) it seems like the handset is still undergoing a few cosmetic changes with the UI. Personally it all looks pretty good to me as the additions to the UI, at least from the images going around, are going to give the handset a much wider appeal.



The latest is a thumb optimized interface. Like most of the other higher-end WinMob handsets, for example, HTC’s Touch FLO and the Omnia’s quick access menu, this new system will allow users to completely negate the stylus option of input. Enlarged icons and options will allow users to navigate simply with their fingers.


I’m quite excited especially after the preview and I can’t wait to see what the finished product will be like, so stay tuned. When we know you’ll know. Considering the current financial situation let’s just hope SE can keep the price decently placed. 

AMD Launches ATI Radeon HD 4830 for Under $150

Author: Gaurav // Category:
AMD has introduced the ATI Radeon HD 4830 graphics card, raising the performance bar for graphics cards priced at less than $150. 

"The ATI Radeon HD 4830 graphics card is another example of how AMD's scalable design strategy is paying off," said Rick Bergman, senior vice president and general manager, Graphics Products Group, AMD. "With a single chip we have been able to quickly and efficiently bring to market graphics card designs ranging from below $150 through $549 SEP, with leading performance in every segment. The ATI Radeon HD 4830 continues that great trend, providing tremendous value to gamers for less than $150."

"The $100-$150 graphics card price band represents the ‘sweet spot' of the desktop PC graphics market where the consumer gets the most graphics performance per dollar spent," said Dean McCarron, founder and principal, Mercury Research. "This is where the latest graphics technologies reach the mainstream PC audience, and this is the level that most PC games target."

For gamers looking to get even more performance out of their gaming rigs, ATI Radeon HD 4830 cards support ATI CrossFireX technology allowing gamers to combine as many as four cards in one PC.

AMD maintains that the ATI Radeon HD 4830 offers exceptional HD multimedia performance as well. All ATI Radeon HD 4800 series cards allow users to enjoy HD digital content with uncompromising visual fidelity while helping to enhance the definition and clarity of lower resolution visual media. AMD's second generation Unified Video Decoder (UVD 2.0) ensures users experience smooth HD video playback, and sharp, crisp images and vibrant colors through ATI Avivo HD technology. Combined with capabilities like picture-in-picture, and support for the latest HD audio technologies like 7.1 surround sound, the ATI Radeon HD 4830 graphics card serves up an impressive cinema-quality home entertainment experience.

The ATI Radeon HD 4830 graphics card is supported by a dozen add-in-board companies offering custom designs of the products. Partners include ASUS, Club 3D, Diamond Multimedia, Force3D, GECUBE, GIGABYTE, HIS (Hightech Information Systems), Jetway, MSI, Palit Multimedia, PowerColor, SAPPHIRE Technology and VisionTek. It is expected to be available immediately. 

Intel to Promote Computer Literacy in UP

Author: Gaurav // Category:

Uttar Pradesh has teamed up with Intel, the chip manufacturing giant, for spreading computer literacy in the country's most populous state, an official said Friday.

"By collaborating with Intel, we would set up computer labs in nearly 5,000 schools across the state," said principal secretary of secondary education A.K. Mishra.

He said the computer labs would be initially set up in various schools of Lucknow and Allahabad districts and later to other districts. The move will immensely benefit students and teachers of rural and far-flung areas not enrolled in computer training programmes.

Unlike ICSE and CBSE, computer science is not a compulsory subject in the Uttar Pradesh board. The government's pact with Intel would be the first step to make computer science a compulsory subject in the Uttar Pradesh board, an official said.

Under the tie-up, Intel has already provided 50 computers.
