LG Electronics has just announced a new addition to their product line-up with the launch of the LG X120 netbook. The first of its kind from LG, the LG X120 is designed to deliver the benefits of netbook functionality and give users a shortcut to the fun stuff with a new UI called Smart On.
"We created the LG X120 to allow consumers to stay connected on their own terms," said Ehtisham Rabbani, vice president of product strategy and marketing for LG Mobile Phones. "The Smart On(TM) button puts consumers seconds away from the fun stuff such as showing off your vacation photos or picking your fantasy football line-up."
Weighing only 2.8lbs, the slim LG X120 can offer users the computing power of a laptop with the freedom of a mobile device. Equipped with an innovative Smart On interface that’s supposed to load in seconds, the LG netbook connects to web and photos, instant messaging and the MP3 player with just the touch of a button. Designed with a white matte exterior and a blue trim, the company says that the LGX120 can deliver up to 7 hours of battery life and comes with built-in AT&T 3G wireless connectivity.
The LG netbook also features 1GB RAM and 160GB with a 10.1-inch LED backlit screen. A built-in 1.3 megapixel camera and HD stereo speakers are also on board. The LGX120 also includes a traditional start up feature booting the complete Windows XP Operating system.
The LG netbook will be available at select Radio Shack stores only in the US and online at www.RadioShack.com for Rs. 8,334 ($179.99) with a 2-year AT&T DataConnect service agreement, a $60 monthly 5GB plan. Maybe we’ll see an Indian version of the same. One can hope.

AppStore Duck Hunt Game Removed Due to Copyright Infringement
If you happen to be a classic gamer and an Apple iPhone or iTouch user who’s looking for those classic games for the device, you’ll be saddened to hear that the ‘Duck Hunt’ game has been pulled down from the App Store.
The game, by request of Nintendo, has been removed as the company is claiming copyright infringement. According to reports from MacWorld, Lucas Mansfield the App Store version game’s developer was asked to pull it down. The original game was developed by Lawl Mart for Nintendo. According to the report, an email was sent across to Mansfield urging him to pull it down.
Having complied, obviously as the game doesn’t exist anymore on the AppStore, Mansfield has decided to re-work the game, while trying to be as close to the original by Nintendo but editing out the more offending graphics and sounds the original AppStore version had embedded.
The AppStore version was priced at $0.99 cents which works out to about Rs. 48. Let’s hope the newer version won’t be costlier.

Motorola Backs Wimax Over 3G in IndiaMotorola Backs Wimax Over 3G in India
Telecommunications giant Motorola Inc., a Fortune 100 company, says that the newer Wimax technology scores over 3G in data transmission capabilities and that it's the broadband route India needed to take.
Wimax or Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access is a non-cellular telecommunications technology, which like 3G has the capability to transfer data wirelessly over long distances.
But while 3G offers speeds in the range of 5.8-14.4 mega bits a second, Wimax has the potential to "deliver 70 mega bits over the same spectrum", a senior Motorola executive says.
"This technology enables better speeds than the standard 3G and even traditional broadband connections," Tarvinder Singh, Motorola India's head of marketing and product management, told IANS.
Incidentally, the Department of Telecom will auction the 2.1 GHz and higher spectrum band - which will support both the technologies - some time this month. And Singh says service providers winning the bids ought to opt for Wimax.
His assertion comes on the heels of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) inducting the Wimax technology as part of its 3G standard, the first non-cellular telecommunication technology to get ITU approval.
Researchers at Nokia-Siemens Networks and Heinrich Hertz Institute have showcased a futuristic 3G technology, the Long Term Evolution or LTE, which has a transfer speed of 100 mega bits per second.
But Singh is unimpressed. "Those who swear allegiance to 3G bank upon its development into LTE, which is still at a development stage and cannot be introduced before 2011 commercially," he added.
Singh said India couldn't wait till 2011 to provide Internet access and modern technology to its towns and villages. "We are already lagging behind other nations. Wireless broadband in the form of Wimax can solve the problem of building infrastructure for wired Internet access."

Nothing is all that we need in Life.
Writing after a long time. Actually it's not that I can't write or that I am lazy, but sometimes what you want to convey is told so well by somebody else, that it makes more sense to quote them, rather than conveying it yourself.
Anyway, in the past few days I happened to realize something, which I would like to share it with you all. Don't know how true it might be? ............
"It's so easy to become something or perhaps even everything... and yet so difficult to become nothing.
So easy to become that something and get recognized, earn laurels and applauds and yet so difficult to remain aloof from the trips of all those glitters which always is not gold.
What exactly is that NOTHING then?
That NOTHING to me is NO-Thing. Not tom, not Harry, not Me, not engineer, not doctor.... That nothing is beyond any name, vocation, caste, creed, religion, sect.... Beyond everything that society associates me or you with. Only when we are nothing, can life fill its joys and blessings into us. If we have filled ourselves with our ego and pride and we are already occupied, how can Life............................. "

The essence of Life
What importance does this phrase hold in your life? Have you lived your life, the way the aforementioned phrase indicates? How many things have you dreamt of doing in your life, while you were small, and couldn't when you grew up? Have all those dreams, simply, vanished in the haze? If it has, why?
As for my understanding and experience, this idiom holds a very significant meaning in my life. I have tried my best uptil now to leave no stones unturned, so that I when the time come to depart, I can willingly hug my death, as I hugged my life.

We ain't no Picasso
Well off late i have been coming to know the true meaning of life, love, survival. Things seem fine like a walk under the chilly moonlight when you were little still trying to wonder the meaning of life, thinking why is the moon and the stars so far away?, what is it that you find at the Horizon?. Funny isn't it how life can turn the air around you. I name this post of mine " We ain't no picasso", coz picasso was the master of painting and sculpture, with the stroke a of brush and the work of his hands he could portray just about anything to anybody. Eyes the main means of communication. You see and u feel, you see and u understand, u see and you learn.
I believe it is us who carve our life for the future, no matter how many external factors you may depend on.
Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams. Love gives meaning to our lives – as do friendship, or art or faith in God. These are factors of true happiness, of inner peace, of feelings of harmony, allowing meaning to our existence.
But there is the other side. There is the cruelty of life, the pain, the evil, not to talk of death. They are the hidden tigers, ambushed and ready to attack the imprudent,(to use an image present in the Buddhist Scriptures).
Is between these pendulums - the positive, the one that gives happiness and meaning, and the negative - that our lives are lived. And when we meditate about all that, we arrive at a diverse and disagreeing set of thoughts about the meaning and purpose of life.
When I consider the short duration of my life i have spent till now, laughing and crying, sleeping and struggling, swallowed up in the eternity before and after, the little space which I fill, and even can see, engulfed in the infinite immensity of spaces of which I am ignorant, and which know me not, I am frightened, and am astonished at being here rather than there; for there is no reason why here rather than there, why now rather than then.
God has created things in an equal balance love-hate, friends-enemies, life-death, but i never learnt until yesterday that i was following up things the wrong way. Missed out on love to get more of hate, missed out on the enemies by making friends(thought i did this one thing right, never gave the importance to the one's who had truly were my well-wishers and i repent for it now), but God always has mercy for the one's who walk an extra mile and he has left me out with a hand-full of good, caring, fun-loving, friends who like a guiding star help me come out of the darkness of life showing me the right path. Thank you buddies. :)
Since a very long time ago, people have searched for the meaning of love. But even the great philosophers, with their profound definitions, could not fully touch its true essence. Hhhhhmmm.. Doesn't make any sense now, life without love, life without friend's, Life in the modern race to climb up the ladder, turns materialistic, but stop, pause everything around you and look behind you the path that we have tread so far, the journey of our life we had missed out on all of the beautiful things that we had given up for something which was not needed. Life changes with the stroke of time like a painting does with a stroke of brush, and you spend years together trying to correct it, but you cannot as it has to be started again from the beginning and as we being mortal, loose the morale and the true essence of life, love, friends and perish without achieving anything in the end. Just wanted you all to know plan well in advance, work just once on the perfect stroke so that you don't have to look back and feel the pain of repent in your future. Adios. :)
