Wikileaks New Releases About India , US related Secrets
Posted by Raj india news, Worldnews Sunday, November 28, 2010On Saturday, the US had warned India and other key governments across the world about a new potentially embarrassing release of classified documents by the whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks which may harm the American interests and create tension in its ties with its "friends".
On whether India was concerned what the leaks might contain, the minister said "Indian government is not really concerned. But we are certainly interested in finding out what this WikiLeaks are all about because they say that they are going to put on the web 4 million documents. So we will watch with interest."
Around three million secret US diplomatic messages obtained by WikiLeaks would expose the ‘no-holds-barred’ private cables to the White House from scores of US embassies, the Daily Mail reported.
Mandela, who stepped down as president in 1999, condemned George Bush over the Iraq war, saying the US president had ignored the UN’s calls for restraint because the then secretary-general Kofi Annan was black.
He also called Tony Blair the ‘foreign minister of the US’ for supporting Bush over the Iraq war.
WikiLeaks earlier this year released secret details – 70,000 files – of military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. The revelations of American brutality in Iraq and Afghanistan led to its founder Julian Assange – an Australian-born computer hacker – being targeted by governments around the world. He is now wanted for alleged rape in Sweden.

Apple Buys HP Facilities
Posted by Raj breakingnews, Tech News Saturday, November 27, 2010Apple Inc is expanding the size of its Cupertino, California, home base, acquiring nearby facilities from computer pioneer and competitor Hewlett Packard Co.
The offices will give the maker of the iPhone more room for its employees as the company continues to grow, said Apple spokesman Steve Dowling.
"We now occupy 57 buildings in Cupertino and our campus is bursting at the seams," he said.
Apple's real estate transaction was first reported by The San Jose Mercury News earlier this week, which said the deal would give Apple an additional 98 acres of land, roughly doubling the size of the company's home base in Cupertino.

Top 10 Best Low Price Android Phone Price, Review
Posted by Raj breakingnews, Tech News Tuesday, November 23, 2010The lowest priced phone here, the Galaxy 5 (i5500 series) may resemble Samsung’s Corby range, but Android opens up more possibilities.
The screen is a 2.8 inch QVGA affair (240 x 320), but it is capacitive. A 600Mhz processor and a 2MP camera round off this amazing value-for-money package.
Price : Rs. 9000
Mi-300
The Mi-300 has a larger than average a 3.2 inch HVGA (320 x 480) capacitive touchscreen, bringing it on par with devices that cost almost twice as much! You also get a trackball, Wi-Fi , Bluetooth, GPS and a 5MP autofocus camera with LED.
The only catch is that it has Android 1.6, with no clarity or confirmation on when the OS will be upgraded.
Price : Rs. 10000
XCD28 Mobile
One of the more recent launches, the XCD28 has a 2.8 inch QVGA touchscreen, Android 2.1 and all the usual trappings, including a micro SD card slot that supports up to 8GB.
What sets the XCD28 apart is Dell’s offering of an ‘Advanced Exchange Warranty’ . In case of a hardware failure, customers will receive a new device instantly.

Price : Rs. 11000
Galaxy 3 Mobiles
The Galaxy 3 is unfortunately overshadowed by the phenomenal AMOLED screens of its more expensive cousins. It has a more powerful processor than the norm (667Mhz, compared to the usual 600Mhz) and a heady 256MB RAM, making it the ideal multi-tasker in this segment.
With a WQVGA capacitive screen (240 x 400), it’s not in the same league as the Spice Mi-300 , but screen quality and viewing angles are a tad better. It’s powered by Android 2.1.

Motorola Quench XT3
Apart from the HVGA (320 x 480) 3.2 inch capacitive screen which is almost the norm at this price, the screen is covered with the ultratough Gorilla Glass, found in premium devices like the Nokia N8, iPhone 4 and Samsung Galaxy Tab.
The trackball and MotoBlur UI customisations are welcome additions.

Videocon Zeus (V7500)
The Videocon Zeus (V7500) is good; both on paper and in hand. But with relatively poor brand recall and a below average run in the mobile segment, it faces an uphill task.
On the upside, it matches the specifications of all the others, includes a HVGA (320 x 480) capacitive screen, 5MP camera and is bundled with a car charger, 8GB micro SD card and two 1230mAh batteries.

LG Optimus One P500
It’s the only device powered by the latest Android 2.2 in this price range (at the time of writing). It’s faster and more responsive, and can be used for internet sharing (as a portable Wi-Fi router). It ticks all the right boxes with a 3.2 inch 320 x 480 capacitive touchscreen and features a larger-tha usual 1500mAh battery.
Price : Rs 13000
HTC Wildfire
Among the first few affordable Android phones, Wildfire still holds its own because of fantastic bu quality and the HTC name. Unfortunately, it falls short when compared to the likes of LG Optimus One, Samsung Galaxy 3 and Motorola Quench XT It has a slower 528Mhz processor and only a QVG (240 x 320) screen.
The QVGA resolution couple with the larger 3.2 inch screen size make the edges of fonts and images noticeably blockier.

Sony Ericsson Xperia X8
The X8 stands out because of Sony Ericsson’s Timescape UI, which covers the standard Android multiple homescreens. Timescape presents all communication essentials like Twitter, Facebook, emails, photos, SMSes together in a 3D interface.
At 3 inches, the X8 has a smaller screen but sticks to the same HVGA (320 x 480) resolution. What pulls it down are Android 1.6, only 168MB RAM and a weak battery.

Motorola FlipOut
This is the only phone here in this range to feature a capacitive touchscreen and a complete QWERTY keypad. With the keypad closed, you can still use the on-screen keyboard for text entry. It has all the right features, the only downsides being the low resolution (240 x 320) display and a weak battery.

Posted by Raj breakingnews, Business Tuesday, November 23, 2010The government today fixed a price band of Rs 340-375 a share for raising up to Rs 1,238 crore through initial sale of shares in Manganese Ore India Ltd , which will become the fifth state-run company to see divestment this fiscal.
A meeting of the Empowered Group of Ministers, chaired by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee and attended by Home Minister P Chidambaram and Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia, fixed the price band at Rs 340-375 a share, according to sources.
The initial public offer will consist of over 3.36 crore shares. MOIL has a total employee strength of 6,734 and its about 3,000 employees have already opened demat accounts.
For the half year ended September 30, the company's turnover was at Rs 635 crore as compared to Rs 430 crore in the first half of previous fiscal. Profit after tax for the first half of this year stood at Rs 330 crore against Rs 201 crore in the year-ago period.

After MOIL, the follow-on public offer of state-owned Shipping Corporation is next in line. Its public offer would open on November 30 and close on December 3. This would be followed by disinvestment in Hindustan Copper, whose FPO opens in the first week of December.
The government is likely to dilute its stake in Indian Oil Corporation , ONGC and SAIL in the last quarter of the current fiscal.
