magictalk-free-calls The popular Internet phone gadget, magicJack is set to launch magicTalk, a new service which allows you to make free calls from your computers, smart phones and iPads to landline and cellphones in the US and Canada, with no time limits on the calls, and users would only get charged if they try to make a call while outside the U.S. and Canada magicJack is known for its USB based VOIP hardware. Unlike magicJack, magicTalk software will be purely software based service which works on Windows and Mac operating systems and will be available next week. There will also be versions for smart phones and tablets including Android, BlackBerry, iPhone and iPad etc, which will likely be out sometime in September or October. Though users cannot make free international calls, Magic Talk can still be considered revolutionary and next generation technology since they do not have any restriction to call any phone within US & Canada. MagicTalk would stand apart from competitors like Skype, which charges users to make calls to phone numbers, and Google Voice, which requires users to make calls from their own phones. Each magicTalk user gets a phone number associated with the software...

chrome-os-tablet

All the talks rumors about Google's Chrome OS tablet seem to be proven true. If DownloadSquad has to be believed, HTC is building a Chrome OS tablet for Google which will be launched on Verizon on November 26th of this year! Neither the partnership with HTC nor the association with Verizon should come as a surprise, since HTC built the Google's first (and may be the last) smartphone - Nexus One, while Verizon is it's partner in crime (know about Net Neutrality?). As for the launch date being Nov 26th, that's a great day to launch an ambitious gadget. It's Black Friday 2010 which is the busiest shopping day in US. Rumors also suggest that the pricing of Chrome OS tablet will be competitive and hugely subsidized. That is probably the only way for Google & Verizon to take on Apple's iPad head on. And what about the hardware specs? It'll likely be based on NVidia's Tegra 2 platform and sport a 1280x720 multitouch display, 2GB of RAM, minimum 32GB SSD, WiFi/Bluetooth/3G connectivity, GPS, webcam, and possibly expandable storage via a multi-card reader. I can already see the geeks licking their lips at this...
As we expected, the unofficial build of PwnageTool has been released for jailbreaking iOS 4.0.2, the latest iOS firmware from Apple released last week in order to patch the PDF exploit. This unofficial build can jailbreak iPhone 3GS (old bootrom only) using iOS 4.0.2 custom firmware. If you have iPhone 3GS with iOS 4.0.1 (jailbroken with JailbreakMe star) and the PDF patch, you don't even need to update to iOS 4.0.2. This guide is only for those who have accidentally upgraded their iPhone 3GS to iOS 4.0.2

Guide to Jailbreak iPhone 3GS on iOS 4.0.2 using PwnageTool

I repeat, this unofficial PwnageTool build works only on iPhone 3GS with old bootrom. 1. Download and install the latest version of iTunes. 2. Start iTunes and backup your data. 3.

5. PwnageTool will now automatically detect the correct firmware for your device. Click on "No" when PwnageTool asks you “Do you have an iPhone contract that would activate normally through iTunes?”. Clicking on “Yes” will update your baseband to the latest version....

You might have tried a couple of tricks to increase uTorrent download speed, and if you are still unhappy, then have a look at DNA in uTorrent.

Enable DNA in uTorrent

DNA in uTorrent is a service from BitTorrent which helps you increase utorrent download speed. The funda behind DNA is simple - it accelerates by downloading in parallel from multiple sources and for a shorter period instead of using the same source for longer time. Logically speaking, the technique must definitely boost up the uTorrent speed since the load on one source is reduced by distributing it across multiple sources. But then, the number of seeds is still a major factor for the download speed.

dna-utorrent

In order to use DNA, you need to get the DNA client which is a separate installation from BitTorrent client. Once you install it, enable DNA in the uTorrent client by going to Options --> Preferences --> DNA. Then check the option which says Enable DNA Powered Downloads One must understand that not every content you download is DNA powered. Only content which has used DNA technology to distribute and are getting downloaded by the client can make use...

Better late than never. Thanks to the indifferent attitude of Apple towards Indian consumers, I had to wait this long to get my hands on the magical (pun intended) iPad. I was one of the many guys who openly criticized Apple iPad the day it was announced. Most of those points still stand valid, but after having used the iPad for a fortnight, here is what I think about it. 1. Irrespective of how many photos you have seen and how many videos you have watched, iPad still manages to amaze you with its near-flawless display and picture quality. 2. It's heavier than you might expect it to be. The moment I took out the gadget from the box (which is really compact), I felt like dropping it. Definitely not designed meant to be used with one hand for a longer time. You better look for a couch or a bean bag if you plan to plan with it for a longer duration. 3. The backside is way too smooth to be used naked (without the case). Couple of times when I used it bare dressed, it nearly slipped...
