adam-preorder

The wait has finally come to an end. The pre-orders for Notion Ink have started, though only for those Notion Ink family members who have been leaving comments on their blog. If you are not one, you would need to wait a bit longer. But it's not too long anyway, so hold your breath.

Notion Ink Adam Pre-order Link

As I mentioned, the link for pre-order is not made public yet. Few thousands of the lucky blog readers who had left their comments are scheduled to get an email from Rohan Shravan, the CEO of Notion Ink with a link to pre-order the Adam tablet. I believe I am also on that list, so will update as and when I receive that email. The idea of making the pre-order link exclusive to the loyal readers was quite expected. Well, not many would trust a start-up with a handful of 3D rendered images of their product to be entrusted with their hard-earned money, isn't it? The public link will go live at 6am IST on 10th December 2010. So, expect that to be updated here as well. Update: Apparently, this is the public pre-order link for Adam....

connectedworld

Guest post by James Helliwell. Would you like an Internet connection that’s always on, whether you’re at home or on the go? It’s already here in many cities across the US, thanks to WiMax. The US Department of Agriculture recently awarded over $504 million in stimulus funds to 40 companies who are planning to broadband to rural areas using WiMax. So, is WiMax the first 4G technology? That’s a big Yes, according to the WiMax Forum, an industry association set up to promote the technology. But the definition of a “G,” or generation of wireless technology, is up to the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), a United Nations organization. 1G was defined in 1981, and successors have followed each decade since. 4G is set to arrive in 2011, right on schedule. WiMax is here already. Its official name is IEEE 802.16, meaning that the standard is defined by the 802.16 Workgroup of the 802 LAN/MAN (Local Area Networks / Metropolitan Area Networks) Standards Committee of the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers. The 802 group of standards includes things like Ethernet (802.3), Audio/Video Bridging (802.1AS and 802.1Qat)), WiFi...

winklevoss-facebook

The Social Network movie drama is yet to get over. Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, the twin brothers who had already sued Facebook, claiming that Mark Zuckerberg stole their idea for a social network, when they were in Harvard, are now suing Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg again. The earlier Facebook suit had made the Winklevoss twins get richer by $65 million, after the judgement ended in their favor, but now the twins allege that Zuckerberg lied to them about the value of Facebook and is guilty of securities fraud, demanding an unspecified amount of money on top of $65 million which they had won in 2008. Facebook is disputing the Winklevosses' claims and says their original settlement, reached in 2008, is enforceable. The company says the twins are faulting Facebook for not offering a more recent - and Facebook claims, lower - valuation of different company stock.
Their fraud claim is based on omission: they fault Facebook for not volunteering a more recent – and, they claim, lower – valuation of different Facebook stock. They insist that their sworn enemy had some special duty to open its books and volunteer any information that bears on the...

firefox-optimization

In my previous post about Firefox, I wrote about useful Firefox addons for web-developers. Considering the fact that previously written post dealt with a specific set of users, I decided upon letting everyone know how useful and flexible this browser can be. Before I start lets have a look at some of its drawbacks.
  1. Memory leaks and sluggish start: The biggest drawback for Firefox running on Windows platform is memory leaks and the ages it takes to start. Though Mozilla have done a lot to enhance it in past, it still is its biggest woe.
  2. Browsing Space: Browsing on Firefox, specially on a net-book or a laptop is troublesome, as it has much less space to view the page content as compared to Chrome or Opera.
  3. Ominibar: Firefox comes with separate search and address bars which makes it cluttered and look terrible. The reason that makes Chrome's look supersede Firefox is its clean simple interface.
  4. Mouse Gestures: Though most people don't use mouse gestures, still they come as a package as in case of Opera. Opera purists have always given it to be a major reason for choosing Opera over Firefox.
  5. Ability to run UserScripts: Both Opera and Chrome inherently support...
