3 pointsLatest Google Play Store Version 3.9.16 >> http://beta.androidf...135922294521859 What's New Ability to remove apps you previously downloaded from the all apps list. You can multi select by long pressing any app and then tapping more apps and delete all in one go. Keeps track of your location in lists including my apps and all apps, so when you click into an app and back, it drops you into the same spot. Seems to have a built in malware scanner.

2 pointsFew days before I stumbled across this amazing online service which can automate lot of things. I rellay love it and created few recipes too. Here is a detailed article on this new service: A relatively new web service, IFTTT (If This Then That) lets you automate tasks between other popular services such as Dropbox, Twitter, Evernote, Facebook, Instapaper, and many others. IFTTT works by telling it what task you want carried out, what will trigger this task, and it will put it into action for you. Channels, triggers, actions, ingredients, recipes... these are some of the terms used by IFTTT, and although it may seem complicated at first glance, it’s actually extremely easy to use. Here’s a practical example in case the whole concept doesn't ring a bell yet... Say I want to keep up with how a certain country is doing in the London 2012 Olympics. First, I enable the ESPN channel and immediately I’ll be asked to set a trigger from a number of predetermined options. In this case I’ll choose “new Olympic medal by country”. Next, I’ll specify which country to follow and create the trigger. That’s the ‘If This’ part. You’ll need to choose a channel for the second portion of your recipe. Since I want to be notified by SMS I’ll choose that channel -- though you can do a number of other things like automatically posting it on social networks or your personal calendar. After activating the SMS channel I’ll choose the ‘Send me an SMS’ action and configure the message to my liking. That’s the ‘Then That’ part. The resulting recipe is shown with a self-explanatory graphic along with options to share it publicly. The process is very easy to follow on IFTTT's site. There are currently fifty different channels, including social networks, essentials like email and RSS feeds, and even Belkin’s WeMo devices to bring IFTTT tasks to the physical world. IFTTT’s tagline is “Put the internet to work for you” and that’s exactly what it does. Of course, you don't have to create all tasks from the ground up, as there are already countless of useful recipes being shared. I've hand-picked a few of my favorites and created a handful others to get you started. Freebies and Deals Receive daily PC game deals via email, IM (Google Talk), or SMS. The deals are sourced from steamgamesales.com’s RSS feed and include data from 9 different stores. Optionally, you can set an alert for whenever a specific game gets a discount and receive it via email, IM, SMS. Get Amazon’s daily Gold Box deals by email, IM, or SMS. If you’re annoyed with too many alerts that are uninteresting to you try creating your own recipe using a specific keyword such as SSD or LCD, for example. Just use Feed as the trigger with the URL http://rssfeeds.s3.amazonaws.com/goldbox. Get notified of Apple’s official free app of the week via email, IM, or SMS. If you are an Android user, there’s also a recipe for Amazon’s Appstore free app of the day notifications by email, IM or SMS. Backing up and Social Networks Automatically send starred tweets containing links to Instapaper to catch up reading later (note: many Twitter clients already include a ‘send to Instapaper’ option but it may come in handy if you use the official client or web interface.) A similar recipe is available for starred items in Google Reader. Automatically send every Facebook photo you’re tagged in to your Dropbox folder. This recipe serves both as a backup and a way to ensure that any photos attached to your name will be accessible to you at all times, even after it’s been deleted from Facebook. You’ll need to sync your Facebook and Dropbox accounts. Save all Instagram photos to Dropbox. Similar to the IFTTT recipe above, this one will help Instagram users keep a local backup of all their faux vintage photos by synchronizing them with Dropbox. Archive your Foursquare check-ins to Google Calendar. Although I’m not a huge fan of check-in based social networks, this one can come in handy while traveling if you want to keep a log of the places you’ve been to -- landmarks, restaurants, and so on -- all with their respective dates on your calendar. Synchronize your Twitter profile picture with Facebook’s. This one is self explanatory and it basically will save you the extra steps to update your Twitter profile picture by using Facebook’s whenever it changes. Others Text to escape. Need an excuse to run away from a boring or awkward situation? This recipe lets you trigger a customized phone call to your cell by sending a text message to IFTTT. You can customize the phone call message or create multiple messages triggered for different situations. Only US numbers are supported. Wake-up call. This recipe lets you schedule a call to your phone at a specific time and day of the week. Text weather. There are a number of weather-related recipes on IFTTT, you can choose to get the weather every morning by SMS, for example, or just a warning to let you know it will rain or snow. Other popular services that are available as channels that we didn't mention here include Blogger, Gmail, Flickr, LastFM, YouTube, Wordpress, among others. Considering you also get to play with RSS feeds, you can potentially create automated tasks for any given website. As before, if you want to create your own recipe you can later share that with other users on the site or borrow existing ones. http://www.techspot.com/guides/558-if-this-then-that/ (Mods, if this doesnt belong here, please more it to appropriate thread). Creating a new thread because we all can share useful recipes.

2 pointsAppeals Court Reverses injunction On Samsung Galaxy Nexus in the US Source According to Reuters, an appeals court has repealed the injunction on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus in the US that was awarded to Apple in the patent lawsuit between the two companies. The ban was based on the '604 patent owned by Apple, which pertains to universal search features on a mobile device. The judge that awarded the ban back in June concluded that Apple would sustain irreparable damages and lost market share if the Galaxy Nexus were to remain on shelves. Samsung argued that the relatively low sales numbers of the Galaxy Nexus would present no harm to Apple, and it appears that the appeals court agreed, putting a temporary stay on the injunction back in July. The court documents in today's decision claim that Apple was unable to present evidence that directly ties consumer demand for the Galaxy Nexus and this feature. "Apple has presented no evidence that directly ties consumer demand for the Galaxy Nexus to its allegedly infringing feature," noted the court. The court added that while Siri is a very popular feature in Apple's iPhone, "there is also no dispute, however, that the Galaxy Nexus does not have a feature equivalent to Siri." The appeals court ruled that the district court, which initially awarded the injunction against the Galaxy Nexus, "abused its discretion," and that Apple did not establish a causal nexus between the unified search feature and sales of the Galaxy Nexus. "To establish a sufficiently strong causal nexus, Apple must show that consumers buy the Galaxy Nexus because it is equipped with the apparatus claimed in the ’604 patent — not because it can search in general, and not even because it has unified search, " explained the court. As a result, the injunction has been permanently reversed and Samsung is free to sell the Galaxy Nexus in the US.

1 pointUsing Aircel in Delhi/NCR as secondary number for 10 months. Here are my observation: Pros: - Nice tarrif plans Neutral: - Voice quality - Average - Coverage - Descent most of the times Cons: - As @AmitnSonu mentioned it has a big time issue of network registration especially while roaming. Have to do it manually many times and even fails to get registered to Aircel manually sometimes. Get hooked to Idea with roaming tarrifs even when Aircel is available. Was charged for Data roaming on idea heavily once due to this. - Edge speeds are pathetic in whole of Delhi/NCR and West UP. Speed varies largely in Delhi/NCR between 2-10 KBps, average is 5-7 KBps. Unusuable. - Have roamed to UP West. Coverage is bad. No signals inside house all time. - Have roamed to Uttarakhand. No coverage, but get hooked to Idea/Vodaphone most of times. Difficult to get recharged since new connecitons are not sold. It may be due to this reason only that free Aircel are being thrown by most shopkeepers in Delhi/NCR just to increase subscribers.

1 pointWhile the efforts are definitely in the right direction, the outcome of these are very doubtful. Saw one female RJ of some pvt. FM channel ranting that she went to the passport office and had to pay at every place to get her passport. What she conveniently did not say was that she paid because she did not want to stand in the queue, did not want to wait for the stipulated dates, did not want to wait for the police verification process etc. Every time someone breaks a traffic rule, they are more ready to offer money to the traffic police than accept the challan and follow the due process of law. The very same youth who are jumping up and down at various public places in support of Anna would very quickly be willing to pay under the table to get into the IIM or get a high paying job. Same thing is happening everywhere. Corruption has reached the genetic level of this country, particularly the so called middle class. Will lokpal bill make it an offence to offer bribe or to entice someone with money? don't think so. Unless there are provisions to punish those who offer money, as long as there is even one Indian who is willing to jump the queue or not accept a traffic challan, and is also willing to pay for it, corruption would prevail. Anna or no Anna.
