Nokia Lumia 610

Nokia Lumia 610 With Windows Phone 7.5 And 3.7" Screen Launched For Rs 13,000 Mid-range smartphone includes 800 MHz CPU, 256 MB RAM, and 5 mp autofocus camera. News Jayesh Limaye, 06th Jul 2012 - 17:21 Nokia has launched the Lumia 610, its lowest-priced Windows Phone 7.5 device, in India. Expectedly, this smartphone has lowered specs of an 800 MHz CPU and 256 MB RAM to achieve the target price. However, the other specifications have been maintained at the standard WP7.5 requirement levels, with a 3.7" multi-touch capacitive screen having pixel dimensions of 800x480, 5 mp autofocus camera with LED flash, and 8 GB internal storage. As expected, there is no expandable microSD slot. The phone also supports the Wi-Fi hotspot feature for as many as five users at a time. The Lumia 610 carries an MRP of Rs 13,000, which isn't great value considering its compromised specs. At the same event, Nokia also announced a Dark Knight Rises Limited Edition version of the Lumia 800. It plans to sell 200 pieces of this smartphone in India, although the pricing has not been announced as yet

Nokia Lumia 900, Lumia 610 coming Launching Today




Nokia India is set to roll out two new smartphones running on Windows Phone 7.5 (Tango) in India tomorrow, Lumia 900 and Lumia 610. As per the press invite sent by the Finnish manufacturer, it will also launch The Dark Knight Edition of the former at the event. There is no official statement regarding the prices of the phones.

Lumia 900 is a top-end smartphone that boasts of a 4.3-inch AMOLED display and 8MP rear camera. It will run on a 1.4GHz processor coupled with a 512MB RAM and have 16GB internal memory. The Lumia 900 Batman edition smartphone, which has already hit stores in UK, will be offered with exclusive The Dark Knight Rises content, including themed wallpapers, ringtones and limited edition Batman or Bane character images.

The other phone to be launched tomorrow is the Nokia Lumia 610, which had made its debut atMobile World Congress. It sports a 3.7-inch display, 5MP camera, 800MHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 256MB RAM and 8GB of internal memory. The Mobile Indian has reported that this smartphone will cost around Rs 11,000.

Microsoft, which has developed the Windows Phone platform, has stated that it will upgrade these devices to Windows Phone 7.8, which consists of some Windows Phone 8 (WP8) features. However, these devices will not receive the Windows Phone 8 update, Microsoft has said.

Higg particles (BOSON)

Professor to discuss about Higg particle

The retired professor who gave his name to the elusive "God particle" that scientists believe they have found is to discuss the discovery.Teams at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the £2.6 billion "Big Bang" atom-smasher near Geneva, in Switzerland, said on Tuesday that they had found a new particle "consistent" with the Higgs boson.

The discovery was described as "momentous" and "a milestone". But the results are preliminary and more work is needed before scientists can be sure about what they have captured.

Professor Peter Higgs, the retired British physicist from Edinburgh University, will give his reaction to the latest results at a press conference at the Scottish university.

The 83-year-old hit on the concept of the Higgs mechanism in 1964 while walking in the Cairngorms and could now be eligible for a Nobel Prize. Known for his unassuming nature and shunning the limelight, he wiped away a tear as the discovery was first announced in Geneva.

"I am astounded at the amazing speed with which these results have emerged," he said. "I never expected this to happen in my lifetime and shall be asking my family to put some champagne in the fridge."

The Higgs boson gives matter mass and holds the physical fabric of the universe together. Observations so far show the discovery looks and acts like the long-sought particle that has eluded them for 50 years.

Finding the Higgs is vital to the Standard Model, the theory that describes the web of particles, forces and interactions which make up the universe.

Without the Higgs boson to give matter mass and weight, there could be no Standard Model universe. If it was proven not to exist, scientists would have to rip up the theory and go back to the drawing board.

On Tuesday they confirmed that two of the LHC's giant detectors, CMS and Atlas, had delivered results achieving the definitive "five sigma" level of proof. A sigma is a measure of how likely it is that a finding is down to chance. At five sigma, the likelihood of a statistical fluke is one in a million.

Nokia Pureview 808 : Mobile phone OR Camera

 Nokia’s new 808 Pureview a phone or a camera? Its 41megapixel camera rightly got huge amounts of attention when it was unveiled at the Mobile World Congress tradeshow, but the phone itself was largely written off as an experimental piece of innovation. Now, for around £500, you can get your hands on one.

Samsung Galaxy Chat goes big on texting

Scrolling down the Galaxy lineup, the new Samsung Galaxy Chat can be seen seated on the lower end of the shelf. Going by the specifications sheet, it’s a very basic smartphone crafted for those who find themselves texting or chatting quite frequently.

God Particle - "BOSON"

Real man behind "God Particle"- Satyendra Nath Bose

Satyendra Nath Bose was born on New Year's Day, 1894, in Calcutta to Surendra Nath Bose, an engineer with the East Indian Railway Company. The eldest among seven siblings, Satyendra Nath Bose, attended Hindu School, a school that had made notable contributions to the Bengal Renaissance and the Reformation movement.

He made a name for himself for his mathematical prowess and his love for science. Bose, as a student at the vaunted Presidency College, Calcutta, went on to secure the highest marks in every discipline (a few of them remains unbroken even now). Meghnad Saha, his classmate and another celebrated Indian nuclear scientist after whom the Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics is named, came a close second.

Bose would later take up teaching assignments at Calcutta and Dhaka universities where he would set up entire laboratories to teach his students.

Bose's biggest contribution to Particle Physics came in the form of a study that he sought to present before his students at Dhaka to show them that contemporary theory was not in accordance with results gathered from experiments. During this lecture, Bose committed a 'mistake' in applying the theory, which unexpectedly gave a prediction that agreed with the experiment. But the 'error' was a statistical one and not an experimental one.

That would evolve into Bose writing a paper deriving Planck's quantum radiation law without any regard to classical physics. He used a new way of counting states with identical particles. He sent the paper directly to Albert Einstein in Germany.

Bose wrote to Albert Einstein:

“I have ventured to send you the accompanying article for your perusal and opinion. I am anxious to know what you think of it. You will see that I have tried to deduce the coefficient 8π v2/c3 in Planck’s Law independent of classical electrodynamics, only assuming that the elementary regions in the phase-space has the content h3. I do not know sufficient German to translate the paper. If you think the paper worth publication I shall be grateful if you arrange for its publication in Zeitschrift für Physik. Though a complete stranger to you, I do not feel any hesitation in making such a request. Because we are all your pupils though profiting only by your teachings through your writings. I do not know whether you still remember that somebody from Calcutta asked your permission to translate your papers on Relativity in English. You acceded to the request. The book has since published. I was the one who translated your paper on Generalised Relativity.”

Albert Einstein, recognising the importance of the paper, translated it into German himself and submitted it on Bose's behalf to the prestigious Zeitschrift für Physik journal. As a result of this recognition, Bose was able to work for two years in European X-ray and crystallography laboratories, during which he worked with Louis de Broglie, Marie Curie and Einstein himself.

Bose's 'mistake' is today what the world calls Bose–Einstein statistics. This result derived by Bose laid the foundation of quantum statistics, as acknowledged by Einstein and Paul Dirac.

Though Nobel Prize in Physics awards have been awarded in connection with research in this domain, many find it strange that Satyendra Nath Bose himself was not awarded one. But having an elementary particle named after oneself is an honour that far outstrips any award. A Nobel Prize in Physics is awarded every year. But nomenclature of an elementary particle lasts till the end of time.

Also one needs to keep in mind that the theoretical existence of Higgs boson was proposed in 1964 by the group of scientists led by Peter Higgs. So that way, Bose did not play any direct role in this respect. His impact on this entire Higgs boson saga is much of an inspirational and generic one, a fact that is often lost in the face of jingoism

Biggest achievement in Physics-"Shadow of a single atom"

Scientists have been able to click the shadow of a single atom for the very first time - an unprecedented feat crowning efforts lasting more than five years.

Scientist claims to find the "GOD Particle"

The upcoming announcement of the results of the search for the Higgs Boson are promising to be groundbreaking from a scientific point-of-view. There is a lot of information that may be confusing to some and will be misinterpreted by many. The practical application of being that closer to understanding the secrets of the Universe won’t be realized for some time. It was decades from the discovery of radiation to the point where we could harness the power of the atom for power. As I sit here and write this post, I am still awaiting my Mr. Fusion device promised in 1985.

For a great look into the physics behind the Higgs Boson, check out What Finding the Higgs Boson Means over on GeekMom. Here, I want to focus on what the discovery of the Higgs Boson won’t mean.

Cause people to develop super-powers

Nope. Sorry. Not going to happen. The Higgs Boson is already giving you mass. What more do you want? Of course, if they can find an anti-Higgs that can reduce my mass I will open the first high energy physics based diet clinic in the world.

Facilitate time-travel

The Higgs Boson isn’t going to unlock the secrets to time-travel, even if you can get your car up to 88 miles per hour. In a related note, it will also not bring me any closer to my Mr. Fusion.

Open a portal through which alien or extradimensional beings can come to Earth

The Higgs Boson discovery won’t cause a portal to open to anywhere. Not to Hell, Asgard, the Pegasus Galaxy, a galactic trade route, the Eighth Dimension, or what’s left of Alderaan. Well, I understand that Valve is interested in the results for some reason but I’m sure it’s nothing.

Allow transit to an alternate reality where the people are evil and have a goatee

I’m not saying that all people with goatees are evil. Quite the opposite is true, which makes this idea all that much more absurd. Everyone knows that as you grow longer facial hair you become more evil. You would be surprised at the world domination schemes that ZZ Top is working on.

Destroy the earth in an ever expanding black hole

Remember when people said that was inevitable? Do you remember those people? I do. A couple seasons of operation later and we seem to be fine. Unless, of course, The Doctor trapped us in a time-loop right before the singularity formed to save the Earth. It would explain deja vu.
When you hear the sensationalism on the news about what the Higgs Boson discovery could mean, take it with a grain of salt and do a little critical thinking of your own. No need to eye that two meter thermal exhaust port on the side of the Large Hadron Collider.

Google Launches Nexus 7 Tablet

With the launch of Google's Nexus 7, the $199 tablet market got even more crowded. So, is it the best?

The Kindle Fire, Nexus 7, and Nook Tablet all retail for $199.

Amazon opened a lot of eyes when it introduced the Kindle Fire last year at $199. Many people expected it to come out at $249, but Amazon surprised everybody with $199. Now Google's done the same with its Asus-made Nexus 7, which, on paper anyway, offers the best specs for a 7-inch tablet at its price point, besting its closest competitors, the Kindle Fire and the 8GB Nook Tablet (you could also include the Samsung Tab 2 7.0 in this group, but it starts at $250).

Windows 8 for Android mobile

New York: As it struggles to gain a foothold against the iPhone and Android phones, Microsoft Corp is planning to issue a dramatic update to its phone software, one that won’t be available to current Windows Phones.

The new software, Windows Phone 8, will be available on new phones this fall, Microsoft said Wednesday at a presentation in San Francisco. The software will bring Windows phones closer to PCs and tablets running the company’s upcoming Windows 8, which is also scheduled to launch later this year.

With its planned software updates —and the Surface tablet computer it introduced earlier this week— Microsoft is taking dramatic steps to ensure that it plays a major role in the increasingly important mobile market.

But the company is playing catch-up in an arena dominated by Apple and Google. Microsoft launched Windows Phone 7 in 2010, making a clean break with its previous phone software, which had become outdated. Nokia Corp., until recently the world’s biggest maker of phones, has pledged to use it for all its smartphones, and launched its first Windows Phone in the US earlier this year.

The new software, Windows Phone 8, will be available on new phones this fall. Reuters Sales have been anemic, however. IDC estimated that 2.2 percent of the smartphones shipped worldwide in the first quarter of this year ran Microsoft’s software, compared to 23 percent for Apple and 59 percent for Android. Still, US wireless carriers support Windows Phone, seeing it as a valuable counterweight to the clout of Apple Inc’s iPhone and phones running Google Inc’s Android software.

Windows Phone is making progress in one respect. Hit games “Words With Friends” and “Draw Something” will be among the apps available for Windows 8. There are 100,000 applications available for Windows phones today, Microsoft said. That’s far less than the

number of apps available for iPhones and Android phones.

Windows Phone 8 will accept expansion memory cards, like Android phones do. It will also work on processors with more than one computing “core,” which are common in high-end smartphones. More cores boost computing power and can cut power consumption.

The new software will also work with near-field communications chips, allowing phones to be used in place of credit cards at some payment terminals. At the conference, Microsoft’s head of phone software, Joe Belfiore, demonstrated how NFC can be used to link two phones so their owners can play a Scrabble-like game. Tapping the phones together can engage NFC, and prompt the devices to establish a link over Wi-Fi.Some recent Android phones come with NFC capabilities, but they’re missing from the iPhone.

Windows Phone 8 will share the operating system “kernel,” or most basic functions, with Windows 8 RT, which will run on tablets and computers. That means manufacturers will have an easier time making hardware that can use either system. Developers will have an easier time moving applications from one platform to the other, Microsoft said.

Changing its phone software at such a basic level means that it will be difficult to install on existing Windows phones
