0 WhatsApp Gets Bug and Spammers Make The Most By Spreading Rumors

WhatsApp users on Wednesday were shocked, when they found everyone on their contact lists with their status field listed as “error: status unavailable” and then got a abrupt message from the CEO of the company complaining about how they weren’t making money and you need to forward the message to all your contacts to prove that you are a legitimate user.

Thankfully though there’s little to worry about: WhatsApp remains free to use, the CEO doesn’t hate as you as much as you thought from his message and it was just a spam message that made the rounds as a feature of the messaging service was affected.

However within few hours a message had begun to circulate on the messaging service saying the service was to become paid and that you need to forward the message to stay on the service for free:

“Message from Jim Balsamic (CEO of Whatsapp): we have had an over usage of user names on whatsapp Messenger. We are requesting all users to forward this message to their entire contact list. If you do not forward this message, we will take it as your account is invalid and it will be deleted within the next 48 hours. Please DO NOT ignore this message or whatsapp will no longer recognise your activation. If you wish to re-activate your account after it has been deleted, a charge of 25.00 will be added to your monthly bill.”

And since everyone loves getting/using things for free, the message did the rounds with most people forwarding it to all their contacts. However, while the status message update feature has been restored to normal on some phones it is still displaying the error message on others.

If you still have the error message, you’ll just have to wait for it to be restored to normal.

0 Nexus 7 Sales Approaches 1 Million Per Month

Every week a new tablet hitting a market, Google's Nexus 7 device is still holding strong position, selling about 1 million units a month, according to Asus, which produces the device.

Asustek Chief Financial Officer David Chang told The Wall Street Journal that sales of Nexus 7 have grown from a start of about 500,000 units in the first month. In the latest month of sales, the number was “close to 1 million.”

Though Apple sold approx 14 million iPad this quarter, and 3 million devices for the quarter is a pretty big number for Google’s tiny tablet. Also 43 percent jump in net profits is shown by Asus — $230 million compared to $160 million last year, says the report.

The Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire face stiff competition from Apple’s new 7.9-inch iPad mini, which will go on sale this Friday. The iPad mini has a starting price of $329, which places it at a premium over the $199 entry price of the Kindle Fire HD and Nexus 7.

Late Monday, Google has also released an upgraded version of the Nexus 7. The $199 version now has 16GB space while there’s another 32GB version with 3G for $299. Wi-Fi only 32GB Nexus 7 will cost $249.

The original Nexus 7 which is of 8GB has been discontinued. The new version runs pure Google Android OS version 4.2 also known as Jelly Bean.

Retailers are expecting a bumper pre-Diwali sale with the availability of the iPhone 5. “We have not got any official communication from Apple. But if the product comes before Diwali, we expect good sales,” said Karan Umed Mistry, store manager, Reliance iStore (Warden Road).

PRICE NO BAR

After the launch of Apple iPhone 5 in United States, this phone is available in the grey market already. The exorbitant price and lack of warranty in the grey market does not hinder true-blue Apple loyalists who are waiting to grab the first few iPhone 5 models.

eBay, one of the renowned market place, is also selling iPhone 5. About 55 handsets were sold in a span of five days on eBay, when it was first launched in the month of September. As of now, different models of the iPhone 5 are available online for prices ranging between Rs 40,000 and Rs 80,000. Featuring, the four-inch retina display, new design, fast wireless capacity and powerful A6 chip are expected to draw a new club of ‘Apple’ buyers.

Ever though the price of iPhone 4 and 4s has been reduced, retailers are seeing good demand for the product. However, they think this may be the last week for sales of the older versions. “Many people are waiting for the iPhone 5. As Diwali is near, people feel that it could be a good Diwali gift for their near and dear ones,” said a shop owner, at an electronics store.

Apple has appointed Instagram Micro as distributor for large-format retail and Redington for other channels.

Redington is also readying for the launch, after it expects the stocks to come in by the first week of November.

0 TRAI To Hike Mobile Tariffs Again

Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) is likely to revise mobile telephone tariffs.

In a meeting with consumer groups today, TRAI Chairman Rahul Khullar said, "It is not 1 paisa or 2 paise (increase) ... but also not 16 paise or 25 paise as projected by operators."

The minimum price of airwaves proposed by TRAI for pan-Indian operations is over Rs 18,000 crore, around 10 times more than the amount paid by old operators.

It has also recommended to fix double of this amount as minimum price for the airwaves that existing telecom operators use to provide wireless services at the time of renewal of their license.

Telecom operators have said that new prices recommended by TRAI will lead to increase in existing tariff by up to 100 per cent.

He assured consumer group lead by Consumer Online Foundation founder Bejon Misra that there are feeble chances of telecom operators increasing tariff.

"Service providers have been scaring government and consumers. Consumers will switch on to other network it they increase tariff and they will lose market share. For 3G everybody paid same price but now they have reduced it (charges)by 70 per cent," Khullar is learnt to have said.

TRAI Chairman has been asked to make presentation before Empowered Group of Ministers meeting tomorrow on the impact of minimum airwaves price recommended by it on tariffs, government revenue and future investment in the sector. Khullar said that the analysis report will be made public after he finishes presentation before EGoM headed by Home Minister P Chidambaram.

The delegation, which also included representative of Consumer Coordination Council and Cell for Consumer Education and Advocacy, asked TRAI chairman that in taking any step, the regulator should ensure that there is no tariff increase.

0 I Only Live For Your Love

You know where you could find me
Whenever you were betrayed
After she broke up with you
And your heart was slayed


But now you cannot find me
And you can't find the words to say
How much you miss me
Everyday


Now you wish that the last words that you said
Was that you hated me
And you wished I was dead


I guess your dream came true
And Its all because of you
That I'm gone away
You knew where you could find me
But now I'm gone away


You wish that you hadn't teased
Or even made fun
Of me cause I called my girls
Pumpkin and Honey Bun


And know this as you rest your eyes
Before you go to sleep
Your the reason im gone
AND I HOPE YOU WEEP..

0 Rumor Of iPhone 4 Launch in India on May 12

Last month, two Indian Mobile Operators - Airtel and Aircel promised to introduce Apple iPhone 4 "in coming months" for India. As per the recent rumors from "insider sources", Indians can expect to see iPhone 4 in Black as well as White colors on May 12. There's no official confirmation on this information and hence we take this information with a grain of salt.

Officially, Airtel and Aircel would be introducing  iPhone 4 for India which would be available as both carrier locked and unlocked, hopefully. Apparently, Airtel has starting registration for iPhone 4. So far, from the details what we could infer from a Twitter update by user named Sunny Chahal. Further he added that the information was limited only to GSM handsets and no word was out on CDMA version of iPhone 4.


We contacted Apple spokesperson about the same and await official word on this update.

0 Sony Ericsson W8 Launched The First Walkman Android Phone

Sony Ericsson has announced its first ever Walkman brand smartphone running Google Android 2.1 Eclair update in Indonesia. Supporting 3-inch capacitive touchscreen display, the new Sony Ericsson W8 walkman smartphone looks very similar to Xperia X8. There's no word on the pricing and this phone will be available in China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, India, Malayasia, Phillipines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam from Q2 2011 in Azure Blue, Metallic Red and Iconic Orange.

New Sony Ericsson W8 has a 3-inch capacitive HVGA (320x480) display and houses 600Mhz processor under the hood. With 128MB memory on board, this handset comes with Android 2.1 Eclair running on it and I doubt if it will get Froyo richness. Kindly forget about the phone getting Gingerbread. Sony Ericsson has layered the Timescape UI on the top of Android.

Branded as a Walkman series smartphone, the W8 will have Walkman Music Player ported to Android, TrackID music recognition, and PlayNow technologies. At the back lies a 3.2 megapixel camera that would give you mediocre quality photos along with Geo-tagging capability.

Being 3G Network compatible, the new W8 Android phone offers 23 hours and 40 minutes worth of music listening time. The phone is connectible wirelessly via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Apart from that, the W8 offers Twitter and Facebook integration in the Timescape UI.

Sounds like a good contender for sub Rs. 10,000 Android based smartphone, the Sony Ericsson W8 does look a bit tacky in Iconic Orange, may be its just me.

0 Sony Stops the Production of PSP Go

Sony has quietly stalled the production of its recent generation PlayStation Portable go which means an unexpected demise of the handheld game console. According to Japanese news daily AV Watch, a Japan-based Sony shop employee learned from his sales manager that PSP Go was no longer being made. Sony neither confirmed nor denied this so called rumoured and stated that PSP Go will continue to be in demand.

Sony had launched the PSP Go formally in June 2009 for $250 and it was finally introduced in India about three months ago for Rs. 12,990. The handheld gaming console PSP go had 16GB Flash storage and dropped support for UMD discs. The company also collaborated with a number of game developers to roll out Digital game titles instead on UMD.

In January this year, Sony unveiled its NGP (Next Generation Portable) game console with a 5-inch OLED display, quad-core CPU coupled with quad-core GPU. It was quite surprising to hear that Sony will discontinue PSP Go as the company never did the same for previous generation of PSP game consoles.

Apparently, Sony is focused more on its strategy to concentrate more on the NGP pricing and pushing all sort of digital content - gaming, music and video to the portable game console. Alongside that, Sony Ericsson also announced first PlayStation certified smartphone - Xperia Play with PSP Go like slide out panel with game buttons and runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Sony would be actively involved in helping game developers adhere and author to PlayStation certified platform.

You can still buy PSP Go from the market and enjoy playing games because Sony is said to have stopped the product but hasn't dropped support for the same. This means you can still buy it off the shelf and enjoy gaming on the go. But count on it on this basis - till the stocks last

0 Twitter Revamps Home Page Again

Earlier this month, popular micro-blogging social network -Twitter tried to makes it new slick homepage live. Due to some unexpected server issues, the new homepage got reverted to the previous one. But the new home page of Twitter was visible to select users only. Today the new Twitter Home Page/Sign-in Page was made live to all users.

Home Page refresh seems to be a yearly cycle for Twitter because the social network revamped its home page last year in March. Ever since the implementation of new Twitter Home Page took place, elements of service started its disappearing act one by one. While fixing those temporarily absent features like Trends, Lists, etc., new Home Page finally went live for all users. With the New Twitter and now a new Home Page, Twitter is slowly making User Interface changes. Several users loved the new neat looking homepage and that includes me too.

However, several users feel that it looks like Facebook login page but that won t cause any lawsuit between Twitter and Facebook. In any case, Twitter is more focused now on offering relevant search results in real-time than anything else. Do let me know your thoughts whether you like the new home page with good reasons for your opinion.

0 Gmail Gets Background Customization Feature

Google has added yet another eye-candy feature to its web-based email service - Gmail. Over two years ago, Google had added certain themes in Gmail which certainly impressed several users of Gmail , geeks and Gmail loyalists. Today onwards, Google will let you customize your Gmail with any image or your own custom image for the background. Yes, you can customize your Gmail with Kelly Clarkson's wallpaper, Dark Knight Rises Poster, or even a photo of your own. Wonder why took Gmail so long to introduce this feature.

Do note that adding a huge image to your Gmail background might make your web browser a wee bit slower. To customize background image on Gmail, go to Themes Tabs in Settings or just click here to go there directly in Gmail.

In the Themes tab, the last option is "Create your own theme" where you must click and a pop-up window will show up. Over there, you'll get a wireframe like snapshot of your Gmail, where you can customize the different areas with the colors of your choice. Click on the small box on top left corner of that window to give you a drop-down menu about colors and an option to upload image.

Check out the image below to find the upload image option where in you can pull image from Picasa or upload directly from your computer. 

0 Download Microsoft Security Essentials

 

Microsoft Security Essentials is a free antivirus software created by Microsoft that provides protection against viruses, spyware, rootkits, and trojans for Windows XP, Vista, and 7. Microsoft has always recommended that its users use real-time antimalware protection, but the release by the end of this year will mark the company's first free solution. MSE replaces Windows Live OneCare - a subscription antivirus service - and Windows Defender, which only protects users from adware and spyware.

MSE is a small-footprint program ideal for computers that lack processing power or broadband Internet connections, such as netbooks. MSE is available as standalone 32-bit and 64-bit downloads for Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. It's very easy to install Security Essentials using it is even easier than one might expect.

Updates and upgrades are automatic, so there's no need to worry about having the latest protection. It's easy to tell if you're protected - when the Security Essentials icon is green, your status is good. It's as simple as that.

Microsoft announced this product on November 18, 2008. It marked a change in Microsoft's consumer antivirus marketing strategy. Instead of offering a subscription antivirus with a host of other tools - parental controls, photo backup, and a firewall, Morro would be free for all genuine installations of Windows and simply offer protection against malware. Microsoft Forefront will be offered alongside Morro, with central management tools not present in Morro.

While OneCare offered a Managed Firewall, PC Performance Tuning, Data Backup and Restore, Multi-PC Management, and Printer Sharing, MSE is really closer to Forefront Client Security, Microsoft's antivirus product for the enterprise.

MSE is a basic security suite designed for consumers but based on the Forefront Client Security desktop agent, solely providing malware detection and removal, but lacking Forefront Client Security's centralized management features. It includes the same antimalware engine (dubbed "Microsoft Malware Protection Engine", or MSMPENG for short), and virus definitions that all other Microsoft desktop antimalware products share, including Forefront Client Security, Windows Live OneCare, and Windows Defender (Defender excludes the antivirus definitions[citation needed] which are separate from the antispyware definitions). Before installation, MSE checks for a validated copy of Windows. No registration or personal information is required. The program will disable Windows Defender, as it provides protection against malware, not limited to spyware and adware.

Updates are published 3 times a day to Microsoft Update. Using default settings, archived files are decompressed, and then scanned. File downloads and e-mail attachments are also scanned. Its Dynamic Signature Service attempts to better identify malicious files by checking for updates if an application exhibits suspicious behavior. Before taking action against a suspect file, MSE prompts for user input. If no response is received in 10 minutes, then the suspected malware is handled according to its default action, letting MSE determine what to do with the malware. System Restore points are created before removing found malware.

0 Opera Mini Bags 100 Million Users

The world's most prolific mobile browser Opera Mini has found home in 100 million mobile devices according to Opera's statistics recorded in March. The number of monthly Opera Mini users, a browser available for 3,000 devices,  across the globe has grown by 11 million since February 2011 and doubled from the 50 million mark celebrated in February 2010. That's a lot of numbers, which pale in comparison to the two billion daily pageviews claimed by Opera. Opera had made a similar 100 million announcement two months ago, but that was for a combination of Opera Mini and Mobile numbers, but this landmark was achieved by Opera Mini on its own accord. "Sweeeet!" said Lars Boilesen, CEO, Opera Software at the achievement.
