Mozilla Promises $25 Smartphone 'Flood'

0 comments
Mozilla launched Firefox OS to compete in a field crowded by Android, iOS, and even Blackberry. Today, the company showed off seven new commercial handsets that will be available around the world, though not in the U.S.  Mozilla also announced plans to start a "flood" of $25 smartphones.
             "We are committed to an open platform [that] works across a variety of devices," Mitchell Baker, chair of the Mozilla Foundation, told the crowd of 200 media here at Mobile World Congress today. "It is called the Web." Alcatel OneTouch, Huawei, LG, and ZTE are all building handsets using Firefox OS. Panasonic has even announced it will use Firefox OS to power a Web-connected HDTV.



Although largely unknown in the U.S., Firefox phones launched in a variety of countries, including Hungary, Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil, India, Indonesia, and Greece. These markets are being underserved by the major players (think iPhone 5c), and Mozilla sees an opportunity. The U.K.-based research firm Mediacells estimated that consumers in India and China alone will purchase more than 500 million smartphones in 2014, about half of global sales. For more than 400 million of those buyers, it will be their first smartphone ever.
Although nowhere near the top-of-the-line Android and iOS devices, Firefox phones are getting better, with Alcatel and ZTE announced multiple dual-core handsets at the show.

The ZTE Open II has dual-core 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 480-by-320 display, and 2-megapixel camera, while the ZTE Open C (pictured above) comes with a Snapdragon 200 processor, an 800-by-480 display, and a 3-megapixel camera. Alcatel is also offering three different OneTouch models, all with dual-core processors: the Alcatel One Touch Fire S, Fire E, and Fire C. The Fire is the top-of-the-line device with 4G LTE, a 4.5-inch screen and an 8-megapixel camera.
Firefox also announced a new reference handset (above, right) that it will make available to developers worldwide, the Firefox OS Flame. It runs a dual-core Qualcomm MSM8210 Snapdragon CPU, has a 4.5-inch screen, runs quad band with 8GB of memory. Although it ships with 1GB of RAM, developers will be able to simulate lower memory configurations to tests their performance. It supports Wi-Fi, 802.11 b/g/n, and Bluetooth.

Increase internet speed by 20%

0 comments
For  Windows users,  you can increase extra internet connection speed 20%.  By default Windows  holds 20% of your internet speed for various service such as Windows Update and others.
                         If your internet speed is slow you can to tweak internet speed . By default, the Packet Scheduler of Windows ] limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this setting to override the default. That packet is QoS ( Quality of service) for Windows . This packet may not be often used, so Why don’t we change the setting to tweak internet speed.
 Determines the percentage of connection bandwidth that the system can reserve. This value limits the combined bandwidth reservations of all programs running on the system. If you enable the setting, you can use the “Bandwidth limit” box to adjust the amount of bandwidth the system can reserve. If you disable this setting or do not configure it, the system uses the default value of 20 percent of the connection.

 How to increase Internet Speed?

1. Click “Start” and then select “Run”
2. Type “gpedit.msc”  for Open Group Policy window
3. In Computer Configuration (left column) click “Administrative Templates”
4. Then click “Network” and click “Qos Packet Schedule”
 5. Double click “Limit reservable bandwidth”

6. Click “Enable” and change “Bandwidth limit” from “20%” to “0%”
7. Click “Apply” and then “OK”
Restart computer and try to surf internet again

Google Ara: How the next Nexus project works

0 comments
It’s time to get down to basics with the plug-and-play customizable smartphone platform known as Project Ara - or Google Ara. Paul Eremenko took the stage at Launch this week to show off a non-working prototype of the device we’ve seen several times in the recent past. This is Google’s vision, not just for the future of smartphones, but for the future of the individual parts of smartphones.

             The device you’re seeing here is a high-fidelity industrial design prototype. While this is called "Project Ara" now, Eremenko suggests that, should it become a real device in the future (like Google Glass), it’d become Google Ara. As Eremenko takes the machine apart, piece by piece, it’s revealed that it all comes down to a piece of metal with a battery inside called an Endoskeleton.

Each slot in this Endoskeleton of Ara works with a 3 newton permanent magnet attached. Eremenko suggests that this is "just enough for you to put the modules in and be able to flip the device over without the modules falling out." You’ll also notice a bit of a lip over each segment to add a bit more hold - each area is a slot instead of a cubby.


The frame for this first iteration of Google Ara has a battery inside as well as connections between each of its slots. These connections allow for each module to communicate with the other, together creating a full smartphone experience. These connections use a protocol stack from MIPI (the mobile industry consortium) called M-PHY (on the physical layer), offering 10 Gigabits per 1x1 block.

In the base frame of Google Ara is a battery that's meant only as a reserve. To make the phone function fully, one of your modules must be a more traditionally-sized battery. The only thing Google restrains is the partitioning scheme - the 1x1, 2x1, etc sizing scheme for the hardware.

"Our goal here is to create a 3rd party ecosystem of module developers," says Eremenko, "to change the way innovation happens in the hardware space, and make it a lot more like the software and app store model."


Next what you’re seeing is a functional module. This module has a white enclosure - Eremenko is holding it in his hand - which is user-serviceable. This means that both the module bits inside and the casings are able to be swapped - you can make your phone look however you want as you make it function however you want.

Modules will be developed using a Module Developers Kit, that's an MDK, and we'll certainly be hearing a lot more about it as this project progresses. This includes an open platform specification and a reference implementation that allows developers to create for Google Ara. This developer program will be published in a little over a month.



Eremenko shows off a couple of custom-printed enclosures created by 3D Systems, a group that Google is partnered with for Ara to print 3D enclosures galore. This is the same company that’s 3D printing food, mind you.

"The consumer gets to decide exactly and only what functionality goes into the device," suggests Eremenko. "So if you don’t want a camera, if you want a really inexpensive and stripped-down phone, you can do that. In fact you can get a Wi-fi-only device."

The $50 Google Ara phone you may have heard of is also known - by the team here - as The Gray Phone. Working with only the basics - an application processor with Android, a display, and a Wi-fi module, this device is targeted at $50 for launch sometime in the near future.

"We're less interested in people's margins than we are in the pace of innovation in the hardware ecosystem." Eremenko continues, "I think that there are plenty of opportunities to make money out of a highly competitive ecosystem, but what we are after is getting the number of brains in that ecosystem up into the tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands. Comparable to Android app development."

New modules will be able to be printed. This opens up the door for at-home innovation and community-created creativity like we've never seen in the smartphone industry before.


One module could have a printed casing, but also a printed radio antenna, allowing the user to create connectivity to the carrier of their choice with only a file and the correct printer materials. You could also (even without printing yourself), hot-swap out a module to move your smartphone from one carrier to the other.

Another swapping opportunity comes in the containment of your data. Your identity - all of your settings and personal data - can be contained on one memory-based module that you can pull out easily. You can use this to switch between phones, to lend your phone to a friend, or whatever other odd bit you can think of.

Chrome Beta Adds 'OK Google' Hands-Free Browsing

0 comments
Look, ma: I'm browsing with no hands! The latest Chrome Beta integrates the "OK Google" voice command for hands-free searching.
Users in the United States running Windows, Mac, and Linux will gain access to the new function over the next few days. Initially available for English speakers only, support for additional languages and Chrome OS is coming soon, Google said.
"If you've ever tried to cook and search at the same time—say, when your hands are covered in flour and you need to know how many ounces are in a cup—you know it can be tricky," software engineer Ji Adam Dou mused in a blog post on the official Chrome site.

 

Forget the typing, clicking, and hard-washing. "Simply open a new tab or visit Google.com in Chrome, say 'OK Google,' and then start speaking your search.
Well, you may need to type, click, or wash you hands to open that tab, but after that, it's all hands-free!
You will be able to perform searches by asking "OK Google, how many ounces are in a cup?" or set an alarm with the command "OK Google, set a timer for 30 minutes."
And, when your kitchen fills with smoke from the too-burnt cupcakes, just tell Google to "remind me to pick up dessert from the bakery at 6 p.m. tonight."


To enable the hands-free feature, visit Google.com and click on the mic icon to "Enable OK Google."
The search giant also added the ability to import supervised users onto new computers, making it easier to keep an eye on young Web explorers. Using the new "import" option, you can now allow supervised users to browse on any PC.
Just click the Chrome menu on the browser toolbar and select "Settings." Under the "Users" heading, tap "Add new user," then "Import an existing supervised user." Select the appropriate person, and click "Import supervised user" to complete the syncing process.
The Chrome browser function is currently supported on Windows, Mac, and Linux, and will be available soon for the Chrome operating system, Google said.
Most recently, Google's predictive digital assistant, Google Now, arrived on the Chrome browser, adding notifications like those that appear in the Android and iOS mobile apps.

Microsoft offering free windows 8.1

0 comments
Microsoft is reportedly testing a free version of Windows 8.1, which will come bundled with its Bing search engine.Creatively titled "Windows with Bing," the software appears to be similar to the standard Windows fare, with the additional built-in search capacity—perhaps best described as a sideways move, since Bing SmartSearch is already included with Windows 8.1, ZDNet pointed out.
                           Russian leaker Wzor this week posted screenshots of the new SKU, which ZDNet said is a monetization play by Redmond.Citing unnamed sources, the tech site reported only minor differences between the current Windows 8.1 and this new, free license version, adding that "it may be a kind of placeholder for the future when consumer operating systems are, basically, free."


A Microsoft spokesman declined to comment on the reports.
It is unclear whether this move could mean a free copy of the software for new Windows users, or a free update for existing users.

Microsoft's final release version of Windows 8.1 arrived in October, reviving some sorely missed functions from pre-Windows 8 platforms but also adding to Redmond's goal of evolving highly mobile, touch-enabled, always-connected computing.
"Windows is delivering the most personal computing experience out there, making your device a unique extension of you and offering more ways to create an experience that is personal, expressive and keeps pace with your life," the company said at the time.


But, as is often the case with new software—especially with software developed by Microsoft—many longtime Windows users are still not happy with the new UI paradigm that's still front-and-center in Windows 8.1. Redmond appears to be working on a fix, details of which were leaked earlier this month, pointing to search and power buttons added to the Start screen, as well as a boost to keyboard and mouse functions in the UI.
Microsoft corporate vice president Joe Belfiore told a Mobile World Congress audience earlier this week that the updates will likely launch during Microsoft's Build conference on April 2.

How to use two operating systems

0 comments
Are you fed up by using one operating system on your PC? Want to replace it with a new one? If yes, then you can install two operating systems in your PC and use any of them as per the requirement. Before you install the second OS on your computers, it is very important to ensure that the new operating system is compatible with the old one or else you may have to go through a number of issues. Once you have checked the compatibility, you are ready to install the new operating system using the procedure discussed below.

  • Step 1 – The first step is to create a backup of all the important data that is stored on your PC. While installing the operating system, there are possibilities that you may encounter an error due to which the data can be lost. So it is better that create a backup in advance to overcome such issues
  • Step 2 – You need the installation disks of the operating systems that you wish to install on your system. So make sure that you have both of them ready so that the installation can be started
  • Step 3 – In order to create space for the second operating system, you will first have to defragment the drive. This is done to resize the partition and make room for the other OS as well. Go through the requirements of your system to ensure whether both the operating systems can be installed on your PC or not
  • Step 4 – Now begin installing the first operating system. When you start the installation, you will be asked in which partition you like to install the OS. With the help of the partition program, you will be able to decide which OS will be installed in the first and the second partition
  • Step 5 – Now install the second operating system on the other partition. During the installation, the OS may configure a boot loader which is necessary to boot both the operating systems
  • Step 6 – With the help of the boot loader, you can decide which operating system will be your default one and what should be the time gap to switch between the two operating systems
  • Step 7 – Now you need to test whether both the operating systems are ready to boot or not. Boot them separately and see how both of them are working. If there are any problems, record them and try to overcome them
  • Step 8 – When you install the new programs, you will have to decide on which operating system will it get installed?
  • Step 9 – Restart your computer to ensure that both the operating systems are installed properly

So this is the step by step process to install two operating systems on your PC. If you follow all the steps, it will be very easy for you to install the OS and both of them will work properly as well.

Google now listen to your voice in chrome beta

0 comments
Google has added hands-free Voice Search in a new Chrome beta, steadily bringing Android-like features to its desktop browser.

In the Chrome beta build, all users need to do is open a new tab or visit Google.com, say “Ok Google,” and then start speaking a search query. The software will then deliver the same voice-activated search results that Android users already enjoy. The desktop Chrome beta will be rolled out to English (U.S.) users on Windows, Mac and Linux over the next few days, with support for additional languages and Chrome OS coming soon, Google said in a blog post.


If all this sounds familiar, it should. Google added a little microphone icon to the Google.com homepage in 2011, allowing users to simply click the mic and say, rather than type, a search. In November, Google added a Google Search Hotword extension for Chrome and Chrome OS, allowing users to visit Google and not have to click the mic at all, instead using the trigger phrase “OK Google” to launch the search.

Now, by integrating that feature into a beta, Google has eliminated the extension itself. The logical next step? Total integration into the browser and the Chrome OS.

That will inevitably give some pause. At this point, users have to manually enable the “OK Google” feature. Once that’s turned on, however, Google will be listening every time you open a new tab, or visit the Google.com homepage. But Google's listening feature is turned off until either those of two actions are triggered, Google representatives said.

We’ve reached out to Google to ask if the service is “listening” when neither condition is met, and what it’s doing with the audio it’s collecting while listening for the trigger phrase. (According to a Google help page, “Your search will only be sent to Google if you say ‘Ok Google’ while on a google.com tab and the extension is active. Local processing is done by the extension on your device in order to detect when you say ‘Ok Google.’”)

After you utter "OK Google," Google then sends the sound of the next thing you say to Google's servers, the Google representative said.

Privacy issues aside, however, Voice Search is roughly equivalent to what you can do in Android: perform searches, set appointments and reminders, or set a timer. (Under Android, you can also command Google to open applications and perform other searches.)

Nokia launches it first ever android phones

0 comments
Nokia introduced a new family of smartphones, the Nokia X series of phones. The first three phones in the family - the Nokia X, X+ and XL - run on the new Nokia X software platform, that is based on Google's Android.
The phones under the Nokia X family are not pure Android phones; these phones instead run a forked variant of Android, similar to the way Amazon does for its Kindle Fire lineup. Nokia has taken the open-source elements of Android and has pulled in other elements of Asha and Windows Phone to offer users a different experience.
The downside here is that Nokia X users can't have access to the Google Play Store for apps. However, the phone will run Android apps, but Nokia will curate a list of such apps. A recommended source for the apps is the Nokia store, says the company. In other words, the new platform, Nokia X, is based on the Android Open Source project (AOSP).

   All three phones are dual SIM phones and are powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon dual-core processor.

Nokia ditches many of the Google services that come with Android, which Google lets phone makers customise at will. Instead, the new Nokia X phone announced will emphasise Microsoft services such as Bing search, Skype communications and OneDrive file storage. Its home screen sports larger, resizable tiles resembling those on Windows phone.
Nokia X, Nokia X+ and Nokia XL form a new family of Nokia's affordable smartphones. The Nokia X is the entry-level model in the family, will cost 89 euros, and will be available immediately in select markets. The Nokia X+ offers more memory and storage. It's priced at 99 euros and will be available in early Q2 2014. Finally, the Nokia XL packs a 5-inch screen, 5 megapixel rear-facing and 2 megapixel front-facing camera. It will be priced at 109 euros and be available in early Q2 2014.
These phones feature a brand new, tile-based home screen. The new OS also reintroduces a redesigned version of its Fastlane notifications centre - a second Home screen if you like - from the latest Asha devices.
"The X family boasts Nokia's exciting, high quality hardware design and a range of bright colours. The brand new, tile-based Home screen offers you a simple, elegant way to manage your apps and phone functions and also reintroduces a redesigned version of the enormously popular Fastlane notifications centre - a second Home screen if you like - from the latest Asha devices," said Nokia.
Here Maps with turn-by-turn navigation and offline maps are also included. Free cloud storage from Microsoft OneDrive with 7GB of space for free is included out of the box. There's also access to Outlook.com as your email service. And there's Skype with a month's free calls to international landlines in selected markets.
All three devices are powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon dual-core processor and are dual-SIM phones. A range of third-party apps comes pre-installed, including BBM, Plants vs Zombies 2, Viber, Vine and Twitter.
At launch, leading global apps will be available for the Nokia X family of devices, including Facebook, LINE Free Voice and Messages, LINE Camera, LINE Bubble, Picsart, Plants vs Zombies 2, Real Football 2014, Skype, Spotify, Swiftkey, Twitter, Viber, Vine and WeChat, among others. And in a first for Nokia customers around the world, BBM will also be available on the Nokia X family of devices in addition to Windows Phone.
Jussi Nevanlinna, Nokia's vice president for product marketing, said the Finnish company is positioning the Nokia X as a bridge to high-end Windows smartphones under the Lumia brand.

Facebook email is shutting down

0 comments
At the end of 2010, Facebook implemented what it thought was a revolution in messaging with a new service that combined email, text messaging, and instant messaging into one for the social network. As part of that new system, every Facebook user got an @facebook.com email address.

We’re now in 2014, and Facebook has realized that its all-encompassing messaging revolution didn’t work out as planned. In fact, in the first few days of March the social network is planning to shutdown the Facebook email service completely.
                  Removing the ability for over a billion users to send and receive email through their own @facebook.com addresses should have alarm bells ringing, especially when it is set to go offline in as little as a week’s time. You’d be right if it wasn’t for the fact no one uses Facebook email.Facebook has admitted as much and claimed it is the main reason they no longer want to pursue email as a service on the social network. Users can continue to use the 3rd-party email address associated with their account, but facebook.com addresses will cease to work in the coming weeks. And the fact it will only be live for a couple more weeks shows you just how little the service must be used.
                  Hopefully no one reading this decided to use their facebook.com as a primary email address. That’s the problem with such bolt-on services, there’s no guarantee they will continue to exist several years down the line. You’re much better off selecting a service that puts email first, like Gmail, Outlook, or Fastmail to name a few.

Whatsapp to add voice-call function

0 comments
WhatsApp which was recently acquired by Facebook is planning to take the battle on to the likes of Viber and other free calling applications. At the MWC 2014, it has just announced that it now has a user base of 465 million and it will finally jump on to the calling wagon in the second quarter of 2014.



Jan Koum who is the CEO of WhatsApp has stated that WhatsApp uses the least bandwidth and this will be a factor that aids the growth of Voice. Voice will be made available on Android and iOS which will be followed by BlackBerry and some of the Nokia handsets.

It has just witnessed an increase in 15 million users after it was bought by Facebook. The news comes on WhatsApp's birthday as it was founded 5 years ago on February 24. WhatsApp will be working in partnership with mobile carriers which will offer special tariffs to access the application. People will end up using a service providers data services instead of their calling services.

WhatsApp will continue to operate in the same manner as it does currently and there will be no marketing and advertisements which will be associated with it. Facebook surely has something in mind with the acquisition which it isn't really letting out of the bag. Let us see which way things turn out for WhatsApp and Facebook in future.

Samsung galaxy s5 announced

0 comments
The Samsung Galaxy S5 is the latest challenger from the South Korean brand to launch into an ever more crowded market, but at least this time the phone has focused on what users might actually want rather than useless gimmicks.

                 The Galaxy S4 was a strong phone in spite of the insistence that being able to wave your hands over a phone or scroll with your eyes was a good thing.The Galaxy S5 takes the DNA of that handset and improves on it in most areas. It's a quiet improvement though, which may disappoint a lot of people looking to see the world's highest-res display and an all new metal chassis, but it's one that at least delivers where consumers need it.
