google android based phone

2009 was a strange year in the world of cell phones, Google Android based handsets has been taking the world by storm but would you believe that only 10 were launched. However, things will be a little different in 2010 as more than 50 Android handsets by different vendors will be launched.

If Apple thought that the iPhone was under attack in 2009, then they have not seen anything yet. We know that these handsets did not bother the iPhone this year, but how would the smartphone king be able to handle the assault from 50 Google Android handsets?

We have heard a number of rumors that Apple plan to launch the iPhone 4G in 2010, but this will come at a premium. According to PC World, these new Android smartphones will fall to silly prices in 2010, this could certainly persuade users to make the switch to Android.

We recently mentioned that Android based smartphones would takeover the iPhone in 2012, this is because Apple only have one handset running the iPhone OS, whereas there are more handsets running Android.

This has certainly got me thinking, Apple have done a superb job with just one handset. Apple also has another trick up its sleeve, what if the iPhone was made available to Verizon Wireless users.

The internet is on fire with the former Miss California Carrie Prejean sextape stream. And the controversy of the Carrie Prejean sextape video stream does not look as if it is going to disappear anytime soon. Since her solo sextape video became
Carrie Prejean Sextape Stream: More Videos and More Lies?
Date: November 13, 2009
part of the public discourse, Carrie Prejean has maintained that the video was shot when she was 17, which would make the ownership and sell and dissemination of the Carrie Prejean sextape video (streamed or otherwise) a criminal offense (read: child pornography). But the public has heard that tired refrain from Carrie Prejean before, back when she was fighting to keep her Miss California crown and the question of some nude photos arose. She said she was 17 then, but it was later revealed that she was 21 when the nude photos were taken. So how about the sextape video? Is it legally safe to stream or download or purchase? New information has surfaced that Carrie Prejean may again be lying about her age and that she may have been of legal age when she made the sextape video.

The boyfriend that Carrie Prejean has now famously claimed “betrayed” her love by selling the sextape video — the same video that halted her $1 million discrimination lawsuit against Miss California USA — of the former beauty queen told TMZ that Carrie Prejean was 20 when the video was created. The boyfriend also told TMZ that he met Carrie Prejean through MySpace and they dated in 2007. But the biggest bombshell in the boyfriend’s revelations was that Carrie Prejean did not make just one of these sextape videos — she made 15-20.

To make the situation worse, the boyfriend told TMZ that Carrie Prejean had contacted him to try to get him to lie that she was 17 in the sextape video that everyone is trying to find and/or stream.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, is shown in July 2009

The trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four others even as conspirators in the 9 / 11 attacks in the Southern District of New York – Manhattan covers that – likely to have significant challenges for the United States represent.

The Southern District is among the countries with more experience in the U.S. are looking into the terrorists, but a high priority when so close to the epicenter of the emblematic 9 / 11, not only on important questions of safety – both for cutting and officials involved in the process – but will also consider, such as address, which is probably a very large number of classified evidence that the prosecution want to present.

“KSM” has become well known, and his four co-defendants described themselves as “a terrorist to the bone” in an appearance before a military commission at Guantanamo March and referred to his alleged involvement in the attacks as a “badge of honor.” But the fact that Muhammad was prolonged torture is likely to be subjected to the thorny issue of reopening, how much of what people have said that they can trust who has not been tainted by torture.

The case is certain that the US-established judiciary to deal with a variety of difficult legal issues related to programs to combat terrorism after the attacks in 2001 lives, including harsh interrogation techniques once used in some of the possible suspects in CIA custody in connection. The most serious, which was U-boat – or simulated drowning – 183 times using Mohammed in 2003, before the practice was banned.

Jury selection is likely to be another very complex issue. Potential jurors would have to go through what is known as voir dire examination. According to the manual of the jury for the Southern District of potential jurors were asked whether it is “a personal interest in the case, or know there is no compelling reason why it can not give an impartial verdict.”

Basically, there are other issues to determine “whether the members of the Committee a prejudice or a feeling that they can influence in rendering a verdict.” The manual continues: “Each juror knowledge of the case should explain this to the judge.”

The judge is also likely to have to do their hands full when appearance of Mohammed in a military commission in 2008 was to judge. The suspects 9 / 11 brain recites verses from the Koran, he denounced George Bush for his “War of the Crusaders,” describing it as an inquisition, “in which he had been tortured, and declared its desire for a” martyr. ”

Muhammad, the judge argued during the reading of the charges, refused a lawyer by a court that is not ruled by Sharia law to accept, described the U.S. constitition – guaranteed under which the federal court system – as “bad” and said that the defense.

Since he was not prepared to defend itself in accordance with U.S. law, a court should appoint a lawyer to defend him, which is almost certainly feel obliged to classified evidence and observations obtained under torture, challenge, and the jury question.

The probability that the process is to review these issues long been emphasized by President Barack Obama. “I am absolutely convinced that is subject to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the highest standards of justice. The American people will insist on it. My Government will insist,” he said.

Obama’s remarks follow a ban on the use of rumors and confessions obtained under torture in the military awarded contracts – the movement that also on the civil process.

Another unresolved issue is whether people are sentenced to death in the federal court system, as they would if they had been tried by military commission. So far, the Justice Department has not answered this question. The government already has a Guantanamo detainee, Ahmed Ghailani, sent to New York to court, but chose not to seek death penalty in this case. Arrested in the last major al-Qaida suspects in that court in 2001, but not prosecutors do not try it for some of the defendants.

Hewlett-Packard buys 3Com for $2.7B; ups guidance

Hewlett-Packard Co. ’s 2.7 billion U.S. dollars takeover of 3Com Corp. is a shot in the networking market leader Cisco Systems Inc. – and a sign of how the old relations were frayed by a series of maneuvers by tech heavyweights.
HP announced on Wednesday it has agreed to pay over $ 7.90 per share for 3Com, has a premium of 39 percent to the closing price of 3Com before the deal was announced. 3Com does things like routers and switches that direct Internet traffic and other data.
HP also increased its 2010 guidance and reported preliminary results that beat Wall Street estimates. The Company has no specific reasons for the better perspective than another statement from CEO Mark Hurd that “strong growth in China” and “solid performance” helped HP in the quarter.
3Com acquisition represents the latest attempt by HB 1, the first PC maker to expand into more profitable areas of the PC. The HP PC business with approximately one third of total company revenue in the last nine months, but only 17 percent of operating earnings.
One area that HP looked at the computer network, a market dominated by Cisco.
“Every client has asked me to speak to us to more networking,” said David Donatelli, Executive Vice President of HP’s enterprise servers and networking group.
HP has tried to muscle remains on lawns of Cisco, with its ProCurve line of networking gear, which is grown, but a very small company, HP. Add 3Com strengthens the HP offer networking, and gives a stronger presence in China. More than half of 3Com revenue of $ 1.3 billion years comes from China.
The agreement also means HP is in more areas against Cisco, which has decided against the life-long partners like HP and IBM with a push on the server store competition fit.
The features show how the largest companies that provide IT infrastructure of companies are consolidating rapidly in his bid to become one-stop technology.
3Com takeover is when HP is still digesting the 13.9 billion U.S. dollars acquisition of Electronic Data Systems Corporation, a company whose Addendum HP Technology Services Group, the company increased its revenue and profit. The deal was a shot of a sign of IBM and HP wanted a bigger piece of the service companies, the key to the transformation of IBM from the brink of collapse in the 1990s.
HP, which is cutting 24,600 jobs as part of its acquisition of EDS, did not work out, whether it be layoffs at 3Com, which has 5800 employees worldwide.
HP shares fell 32 cents to $ 49.68, while the share of 3Com jumped $ 2, or 35.2 percent, to $ 7.69 in trading after the announcements.
Co-founder, Robert Metcalfe, the inventor of a widely used standard Ethernet networking, 3Com is a former high-flyer, whose business grew over the 1980s and 1990s stalled, but after the dot-com crisis. The company’s stock briefly topped $ 100 in 2000, but languished in recent years, under $ 5.
HP takeover comes after 3Com, in Marlborough, Massachusetts, tried, and not from the sale to Bain Capital Partners, the private equity firm and a Chinese partner, Huawei Technologies Co.
The agreement broke down in the past year for reasons of national security. The MPs said they were able to be transferred to China of sensitive military technology in question. A stumbling block appeared to be 3Com Tipping Point subsidiary, which makes network security software.
The dynamics of consolidation plays in the world of technology.
An example is the database leader Oracle Corp. ’s proposed acquisition of 7.4 billion U.S. dollars, Sun Microsystems Inc., 4 the second largest manufacturer of servers behind IBM, HP and Dell Inc. The agreement was approved in the U.S., is carried out on antitrust concerns in Europe.
Others include Dell Inc. ’s 3.9 billion U.S. dollars of the recent acquisition of Perot Systems Corp. and Xerox Corp.’ s 6.4 billion U.S. dollars takeover of Affiliated Computer Services Inc.
HP preliminary report for the three months ending in October showed the company in Palo Alto, California-based earned 99 cents per share, compared with 84 cents in the year-ago period.
Adjusted for restructuring and other items, HP earned $ 1.14 per share. Sales fell by 8 percent over the same period of last year to 30.8 million euros. Both measures HP was better than Wall Street expected, according to a survey by Thomson Reuters.
HP said it now expects that fiscal 2010 sales of $ 118 million to 119 billion dollars, slightly up from an earlier estimated range of $ 117 million to 118 billion U.S. dollars. Time charges net income is up to $ 3.65 excluding $ 3.75 per share, or $ 4.25 to $ 4.35 per share.
HP is to his 23. November full results

Google's Free Holiday Wi-Fi Beats Airport Grinches

Google said Tuesday it will subsidize free wireless network access in 47 airports from now until January 15–and indefinitely in the airports of Burbank, Calif., and Seattle.

The promotion, in cooperation with Boingo Wireless, Advanced Wireless Group, and Airport Marketing Income, is the latest effort to use free Wi-Fi to boost a brand. Among others: Yahoo is sponsoring Wi-Fi in Times Square in New York, and Google is sponsoring Internet access on Virgin America flights during the holidays.

Among the larger participating airports are those in Houston, Boston, Miami, Las Vegas, Nashville, San Diego, Baltimore, and St. Louis. A full list of the airports is at Google’s free holiday Wi-Fi site.

The move, though not cheap, is probably smart. Plenty of business travelers have a laptop and time to kill, and today’s consumers are increasingly likely to be equipped with laptops, iPod Touches, or other devices that can use wireless Internet access. Google is spending some money for an opportunity to give a lot of people the warm fuzzies when they encounter the Google brand.

And in the big picture, Google gets to show people what the world might be like if there were more high-speed wireless Internet access–something the company has been aggressively lobbying for in Washington, D.C. Many people are used to wireless networking in their homes, but it’s a different matter on the road.

There are downsides, though, too. Having been to dozens of conferences where the wireless Net access collapses as soon as the keynote speech begins, I’m acutely aware that providing large-scale wireless Internet access is technically demanding–and people get unhappy when a promised benefit evaporates. And public, anonymous places such as airports and urban population centers are great spots for hackers to launch main-in-the-middle attacks by offering “Free Wi-Fi,” so exercise caution when logging on to these networks.

Berliners celebrating on top of the wall as E. Germans flood through the dismantled Berlin Wall into West Berlin, 12 Nov 1989

Waves in the United Kingdom with debate of the 20th Anniversary of the wall thickness down coming, but as Donal Blaney noted that a person is important not to give much to look inward

Before she buried under a mountain of European self-congratulation, we can take a moment to remember the enormous contribution of Ronald Reagan?

In his article in The Wall Street Journal today, Reagan’s chief speechwriter, Anthony Dolan, tells the story of how the phrase “Tear down this wall” historic event in the direction of the president before the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin on 12 June 1987. More prudent persons in the State Department and elsewhere have resisted the word are highlighted removed, but Reagan.

He acknowledged that the containment of communism has failed and what Dolan calls the weapon criminal regime used fear more than any economic or military sanctions, “publicly told the truth about their moral absurdity.

“Reagan had come to observe closely that the various criminal schemes that are invested to see their whole way the world that change the actions of conciliation as weakness, and instead of nice, that feeling is, looking use inner compulsion to participate, this perceived weakness into a number of acts of aggression. All this confirms the absolute conviction of the criminal background in their own omniscience and sovereignty and their right to rule and others to make sacrifices. ”

Of course, Reagan supported the understanding that the will to invest enough in the defense, and then push the use without fear of the heads of his opponents. It was this combination – a moral understanding of the weakness of communism with the provision to be strong for the defense – this is the way in Europe until the fall of the Berlin Wall led. In many plays a role, but would not have been possible without the climate has changed, that Reagan created.

However, many Europeans Reagan fit to write outside of the script. Well, if pensant opinion against his policy and believes that the man in disgust. So it was a little embarrassed when his approach was justified, felt the peoples of Eastern Europe are able to rise and the wall fell. Reagan’s victory as much as anyone else.

Officer 'shouted Allahu Akbar' before gun rampage

A US officer who killed 13 soldiers in a gun rampage at a Texas army base shouted a triumphant Islamic proclamation before opening fire, it was claimed today.

Army spokesman Lieutenant General Bob Cone said witnesses heard Major Nidal Malik Hasan cry “Allahu Akbar” – Arabic for “God is great” – before opening fire at the Fort Hood complex.

The military psychiatrist was today being investigated for alleged links to extremist websites as the shooter himself remained on a life-support machine.

Hasan, a devout American-born Muslim, was shot several times in the aftermath of the rampage by a civilian police officer who was today being hailed as a hero.

Mr Cone said Sgt Kimberly Munley and her partner responded to reported gunfire within three minutes.

She then disabled the suspect despite being shot herself in the process.

“It was an amazing and an aggressive performance by this police officer,” the military spokesman said.
Shortly before her arrival, Hasan – armed with two non-military issue pistols, including a semi-automatic – entered a section used to prepare soldiers for deployment overseas and started firing.

Within minutes, 12 soldiers and a civilian at the base were dead or dying in the worst mass shooting yet at a military base in the US.

At least 30 others were injured in an attack described by President Barack Obama as a “horrific outburst of violence”.

Soldiers rushed to treat their wounded colleagues by ripping their uniforms into makeshift bandages.

Around half of those injured required surgery after being evacuated to hospital.

The shootings began yesterday at around 1.30pm local time (7.30pm GMT) at Fort Hood’s readiness centre.

The compound – the US’s largest military base – was today observing a day of mourning, officials said.

Meanwhile investigators were trying to establish the motive behind the attack.

Mr Obama today ordered federal buildings to fly the US flag at half-mast until Veterans’ Day (November 11) as a “modest tribute” to the dead at Fort Hood.

In brief remarks delivered in the White House Rose Garden, the president said he had met FBI chiefs to be updated on the investigation into what caused one serviceman to turn his gun on others.

He added: “We don’t know all the answers yet, and I would caution against jumping to conclusions until we have all the facts.

“What we do know is that there are families, friends and an entire nation grieving right now for the valiant men and and women who came under attack yesterday in one of the worst mass shootings to take place on an American military base.”

Mr Cone said the suspect was not known to be a threat or risk.

Retired Colonel Terry Lee, who worked with Hasan, claimed the major was anti-war and argued with comrades who supported operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Hasan, 39, from Virginia, was also due to be sent to Afghanistan, something family members said would have been his “worst nightmare”.

Defence sources said at least six months ago Hasan came to the attention of law enforcement officials because of internet postings about suicide bombings and other threats.

They included posts which compared suicide bombers with soldiers who threw themselves on a grenade to save the lives of their comrades.

Investigators were not certain whether Hasan had written the posts and a formal investigation had not been opened before the shooting, said the sources.

Hasan was shot four times and was being treated in hospital under armed guard.

Mr Cone said he was on a ventilator and unconscious, but added: “I would say his death is not imminent.”

Personal details of Hasan were today beginning to emerge.

Hasan, whose family said he was born in suburban Washington, is single with no children.

In 1997 he graduated with a degree in biochemistry from Virginia Tech, scene of a mass shooting in 2007.

His cousin, Nader Hasan, described him as “a good American”.

He said the family was “shocked”, adding: “We just found out on the news that he was being deployed, he never even told us.

“We’ve known for the last four or five years that was probably his worst nightmare. He deals with stories, he would tell us how he would hear things, horrific things.”

Mr Hasan added that his cousin had also complained of being harassed by others in the military.

Hasan transferred to Fort Hood in July from Walter Reed Medical Centre, where he received a poor performance evaluation, according to an official.

Faizul Khan, a former imam at a mosque Hasan attended in Maryland, said Hasan was a lifelong Muslim and attended prayers regularly, often in his army uniform.

While Fort Hood was on lock down yesterday, Mr Obama met aides in the White House’s Situation Room amid initial fears that more than one shooter was involved.

After being informed of the situation, the president said his thoughts and prayers were with the wounded and the families of the fallen.

He added: “It is difficult enough when we lose these brave Americans in battles overseas. It is horrifying that they should come under fire at an army base on American soil.”

Prime Minister Gordon Brown today sent a message of support and condolence to Mr Obama over the Fort Hood shootings, said Downing Street.

In the message, Mr Brown said: “My thoughts are with the families and friends of those killed or injured and with you as you find the strength and words to help America respond.”
