@ Mods I deliberately started this thread in General Chat. If you think this is wrong place, please move this thread to appropriate section. Later please remove this lines. In recent past, there has been brief bouts of discussion on RIMWeb about pollution, carbon footprints and global warming. Today it just stuck in my mind that there are so many electronic things which we buy, use and change even when useful life is left. For example, today I bought wireless KB + Mouse just to replace perfectly working keyboard and minor problem in mouse. Means if not mouse, atleast keyboard can be used by some one. New pair cost about 1800 bucks. Only keyboard may be costing about 1000 bucks and mouse alone may be the same. So I thought, what if I send or give it to some one who is about to buy new key board or may be he needs to buy keyboard. In any case I am not going to use it and it will be scrapped after some time. Hence I decided to post a thread where I will be sending this pair of Logitec pair of mouse and KB free. I will only charge for actual courier charges. Trusted Rimwebian may pay me once they get the stuff. Other people may pay me in advance. Also this thread is to be used for free give away without any obligations on either side. Please do not post if one is really not interested to give away free. If I get proper response, I am going to offer following thing: 1. BSNL ADSL + Wifi router 2. may be I have few chargers and data cable for various phones. 3. Some working computer hardware parts like HDD, RAM, graphic / modem cards etc. Will prepare list and post. All are invited to post their old stuffs too.

Nokia C3, C6 and E5 Go Official, Coming Soon All QWERTY laden low to mid-cost smartphones Nokia has officially announced the existence of three new handsets - the Nokia C3, Nokia C6 and Nokia E5 all of them enabled with QWERTY keypads. The handsets which, according to Nokia, aim to put better messaging and social networking tools in the hands of more people around the world at affordable prices feature full email support, IM communities and social network integration. Let us now take a look at each of these new handsets in detail: Nokia C3 As the name suggests, this one looks to be the cheapest one amongst the lot. However, the C3 definitely isn t short on features. It happens to hold the distinction of becoming the first QWERTY keypad laden S40 device. The C3 features an easy to use home screen from where users have direct access to social networks. People can view, comment, update their status and share pictures to their favourite social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. It boasts of a 2.4 inch screen and also supports Ovi Mail and Ovi Chat. According to Nokia, this makes the phone easier for first time users who can set up email and chat accounts straight from the device, without the need for a PC. Surprise Surprise! Guess what? The C3 comes with Wi-Fi as well! There is a basic 2 megapixel camera at the rear. The phone supports memory expansion and can take up to 8GB of memory using microSD cards. The Nokia C3 is expected to be available in the second quarter of 2010 in a variety of colors, including golden white, slate grey and hot pink. The C3 is expected to be priced at 90 Euros (Rs. 5,500 approx.). Nokia C6 Next up is the Nokia C6 which moves up the price ladder and at the same time, also adds in a host of new features. Unlike the C3 which is a feature phone, the C6 happens to be a full fledged Symbian S60 based smartphone. It boasts of a large 3.2 inch touch screen display as well as a slide out QWERTY keyboard. Like the C3, this phone too displays social networking feeds right on the home screen. It also comes with a full suite of email and social networking capabilities. As for other features, the C6 boasts of a 5 megapixel camera complete with autofocus and flash. It also come preloaded with Ovi Maps and the Ovi Store applications. The C6 is expected to be available in the second quarter of 2010 at an estimated price of EUR 220. (Rs. 13,300 approx.) Nokia E5 Lastly, we have the Nokia E5, the youngest and the cheapest E-Series phone ever from Nokia! The E5 is a cute, -but professional looking Symbian-based smartphone and follows the successful blueprint of devices such as the Nokia E72 and Nokia E63. The Nokia E5 combines high quality business features with all of the personal networking and entertainment capabilities that a busy professional expects from a smartphone. The phone features a 5 megapixel camera, comprehensive connectivity options and integrated GPS. Like the aforementioned devices, this one too supports full e-mail, instant messaging and social network access. The E5 also provides direct access to over 90 percent of the world's corporate email through Mail for Exchange and IBM Lotus Notes Traveler. The E5 when launched would set you back by 180 Euros (Rs.10,000 approx.) and would be available by the third quarter of 2010. Courtesy : Techtree

How about we just build you a core for every program that you wish to run? AMD and Intel are quickly ramping up the number of cores inside our consumer level CPUs, but do we have the software chops to handle all that power? With modern CPUs now having more cores in one chip than some of us have computers in our homes, the question of how to handle all that power is a concern for a certain software kernel architect at working Microsoft. We now have affordable PCs with up to four cores and some even able to process twice as many threads. "Why should you ever, with all this parallel hardware, ever be waiting for your computer?" posed Dave Probert, a part of the Windows core operating systems division at Microsoft. The problem, Probert believes, is that software still isn't being written to best take advantage of all the hardware that'd we've been running in our systems for years now. Although modern operating systems do true multitasking and scale with the addition of more cores, Probert thinks that to take full advantage of the new wonderfully powerful hardware we have, it will require a reworking and rethinking of Windows. Of course, with the rapidly growing number of cores, especially in light of Intel's experimental 48-core CPU, an alternative method would be to devote at least one discrete core to each application. "With many-core, CPUs [could] become CPUs again," he said. "If we get enough of them, maybe we can start to hand them out." In such a case, the OS would no longer resemble the kernel mode of today's systems, but it would be more like a hypervisor, providing a layer between the virtual machine and hardware.

^^^Nice..finally you got it...hats off for your patience...

On one hand you are criticizing the Android, on the other hand you are talking about Htc Sense UI as brilliant? Dear WM uses Touch Flo 3D till now! Hope you understand the difference between TF3D which is used by WM and Sense UI which is used for Android
