LG Thrill 4G Review, Features, Specs and Price

LG Thrill 4G Review:
A few weeks later to take the 3D LG Optimus place in our offices in Europe, we are ready to give their counterparts in the United States, has its fair share of heat. Better known as Thrill 4G countries, this device is to follow in the footsteps of the latest smartphone from HTC AT T EVO size ancillary 3D game. The possibility is equipped with two cameras to the back and fancy special effects, just enough for the decision of the individual units in a split second to change.

You can get it. Few people have their hard earned money on a gadget. But, like any other phone function, there are more students without 3D glasses, which at first sight (no pun intended). And after looking under the hood and see what you can hear, there's no way this phone is to maintain its competitive position in the same price range ($ 100 AT T). What is the difference with the European equivalent? If the Sprint phone 3D game after? And this phone except that additional D? Join us digging through the three dimensions of the meaning of the roots of 4G.

Talk to LG 3D Optimus. Make no mistake, we can expect a similar contrast incredible emotion 4G world, of course - just do not believe so close. We expect American companies to a popular audience in other parts of the world, rotation, changes in the user interface, and, above all, completely different phone. It is interesting to note that it is difficult to significant differences between the twins, in general, with the exception of minor changes can be found.


Outside, the only discernable difference in the T logo on the back. Nothing more. Nothing. Nothing at all. Even after swimming across the width of the pond, as the device is strange, as always, weighing 5.93 ounces (168g) and the dimensions are 2.68 x 5.07 x 47 inches 128.8 0 ( x 11.9 x 68 mm.) Both versions offer the same 3D Optimus 4.3-inch 800 x 480 keys, doors and hardware are the exact same camera ... The list is long. Inner emotions and punches, how to perform the same 1GHz dual-core processor TI OMAP 4430 processor, 512 MB RAM, 1500 mAh, and some cameras back on the acquisition of 3D 5MP (target 1.3 MP).

A shiver of software is not very far from his twin brother, too. Unfortunately, the firmware - AT T, despite the promise of every member of its scope in 2011 to win the Gingerbread Android will be installed with Froyo (Android 2.2) load. We believe that the next update in the works - in fact, count on them - but in the meantime, customers are willing to create new devices with operating systems. The carrier has also decided to reconsider the game in the wrist and minor optimizations bloatware user interface can be so small that they are visible only when they are next to the comparison page.

Some features of this phone outside of the Optimus Froyo 3D, see above. As we have said, do not skimp on the emotions of 4G applications pre-installed - typical Suite is valid from AT T services such as the Kindle, YPmobile, Polaris Office, and we Qik Lite Golf 2 (we strongly suspect that no one has really played the game in the first series). Storage device also offers the following customized version of the Android keyboard LG.

In-depth global production of hardware and software 3D Optimus is in stock, then all the details.

Ok, and say, you still feel like a 3D game. Not all drinking Kool-Aid in three dimensions, and I have mixed feelings when it comes to this topic. It 'was adapted for the error is everybody's telephone talented in this area is the most fun for us simply to read, because it's unique specifications, which is exclusively offered by rival United States in the United States is: HTC EVO 3D. Of course, determines the horns lock together, because they have a phone function. And 'the winner? There is a clear winner? We have both phones to activate the following comparison is interesting and unique qualities Thrill is fundamentally different from the EVO. Let's see how.

Both devices offer significant differences in this category. For starters, Evolution offers two-stage trigger and a hardware key that allows you to easily switch between 2D and 3D, when you feel able to get a different perspective. Emotions? Oh, he has some trigger - complete; 3D prominently mentioned - which places the burden of two different roles, none of which include video recording. In the camera application, this button works as a toggle key 2D / 3D, off-camera, but leads to the 3D menu screen that offers a variety of applications in the form of three-dimensional direction of the carousel as a 3.0 (about time). The camera is one of the options in the menu, but, unfortunately, is another step between you and the captured image.

4G Thrill 3D menu can be useful ... time. As mentioned above, you are not using the carousel of glass with a choice of parallax barrier screen, floating in an attempt to take the whole screen, copied. You can switch between camera, gallery, games and applications for the leader to choose 3D and YouTube. When this option is a nice complex, but we doubt that they are sufficiently important for all physical buttons to devote to his case, the same menu is available on the main screen the default icon to try. The position exists in the EVO, when all options are available in one form or another over the telephone application tray (3D vids to YouTube, for example, can be seen in regular use).

In addition to the hardware buttons, EVO 3D camera is also quick access to the lock screen. If time really is - as often happens - Slide the disc into the ring at the bottom of the screen and you're in the throes of putting on another, this possibility is not the best alternative is the application icon in the whole screen Start the camera. Not terrible, of course, but it is another step in the process - step, EVO can be easily circumvented.

3D images and videos from your profile can be a very different experience for each device, and can not say it better than others. EVO took pictures of a much more realistic, it seems that the image appears on the screen - if your eyes to adjust the angle of the screen. Shiver offers on the other hand, the greater the angle and distance can be variable 3-D effect, but it takes more time, multi-layered approach, rather than the image on the screen, as part of the picture was taken with the image is simple and easy to drive. There is still a feeling of third dimension, but we can certainly make a difference. The galleries below to see for yourself if you do not know the 3D view, but we want to, glasses in hand.

Of course, those who wonder are two phones that run long enough to look at equipment and cameras within the axial distance - the distance between each pair of lenses. EVO-lenses are more distant from the tension, hyper-stereo effect, following the former. Held in other words, no more, the greater the depth perception and improved 3D experience - without eyestrain and headaches high potential infamous, often associated with the display of 3D reference.

Emotion 4G has a few tricks up its sleeve: first, the standard 2D images can also run third and Tack D productivity, which is almost too easy to achieve. All you have to do is picture in the gallery and the press, the 3D switch on the right side of the phone. Converted images can not fail, and the inclusion in 3D, as expected, but we'll see an approach to 2D-only devices with cameras (eg Sony Ericsson Xperia S-curve) and disseminated to improve quality over time. Another special feature is activated the camera 3D imaging the intensity of the filter, when it was captured and displayed in the gallery.

It is interesting to note, also, that just does not feel the 3D flash for flash. We searched all minors who could and still be able to do this work. EVO short, with touches of light on the other side was much more pleasant, because the 3D offers easy access to flash the phone.

Another problem that arises is how these 3D images are stored in two formats - are often used - DFO and JPS. JPS images are usually easier to see and manipulate than MPO because the left and right images in one place over JPEG metadata. EVO offers a choice of two settings, click OK and everything would automatically increase JPS allows you to convert directly to DFO on the phone.

Both three-dimensional image production unit of HD at 720p and 30 frames per second. Comparing the two films together, it seems that the fluidity of the video and audio 3D Ages was a bit 'better to produce. Unfortunately, he left impressed by the excitement of video quality (although his ability, 720p and 1080p 3D-2D acquisition) because we realized we could not easily film in our lives - we need to check the settings to ensure that there are at the highest level of participation because it is not as simple as the true high definition. Finally, only the bit of audio on the EVO. You can (with the exception of 1080p Thrill 2D) shows the same page, but image quality and much better than the EVO.

Thriller has several intelligent features that you will not find in 3D EVO, we shot the winners of this device in three dimensions, because the graphics are realistic 3D high-quality and comes with easy to use hardware buttons to Thrill 4G turned to frustration.

With unique features such as 3D-crazy issued by phone, we're not shocked, that the device from a simple regular vanilla-2D is not as well equipped as most other high-end phones with dual-core processors. Of course, the images of two 5-megapixel snapper is not mine, but LG is not exactly known for its high-quality sensors on mobile devices. Thrill as Optimus has a satisfactory 3D images in most parameters, with one exception: an automatic exposure settings seemed difficult to direct sunlight and a few faded photos caused a manner inconsistent. They were like the weather head, cloudy or under a canopy of trees actually very large macro shots, and the pictures were average in scenarios in low light conditions - let the pictures tell a sunset on the beach are not always re-Twitter.

Samsung Galaxy S LCD GT-I9003 Review Specification And Price

Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9003 is branded for India as Galaxy S LCD 4GB but elsewhere it is available as Galaxy SL (16GB version). Personally, I would call it a toned down substitute of Galaxy S I9000. It indeed was surprising to see this version out so late and almost a year after the launch of Galaxy S I9000 handset. Had the handset arrived alongside or at least three months after the GT-I9000 launch, it would have made more sense and would have sold more.

Samsung has introduced this new Galaxy S LCD 4GB loaded with Android 2.2.1 Froyo by default. Despite clear technical differences between this handset and the Galaxy S I9000, people can't help but compare both devices. Throughout the review, I would be referring it as GT-I9003 and the Galaxy S as GT-I9000, just to avoid confusion.

Currently, there's a dearth of Galaxy S I9000 handsets and the shortage of Super AMOLED displays has been cited as the main reason behind this. Obviously, Samsung has moved on to the new Super AMOLED Plus technology that is better and has been used in upcoming handset - Samsung Galaxy S II GT-I9100.

GT-I9003

In the absence of GT-I9000, you'd certainly like to know about an Android device that looks almost the same and is packed with a few new goodies in it. Before you get to know how Galaxy S LCD performs, take a look at the differences between both the phones.

Differentials

Characteristic GT-I9003 GT-I9000

Display Technology Super LCD (C-Type) Super AMOLED

Operating System Android 2.2.1 Froyo Android 2.1 Eclair (now with 2.2)

Processor 1GHz TI OMAP 3630 1GHz Samsung Hummingbird

GPU PowerVR SGX530 PowerVR SGX540

Battery 1650mAh 1500mAh

Bluetooth 2.1 3.0

Storage 4GB 8GB/16GB

Thickness 10.6mm 9.9mm

Weight 131g 118g

Height 123.7mm 122.4mm


From the above table, it is clear that Galaxy S LCD would stay behind a bit in terms of graphic and processing performance. Both smartphones have processors running at the clock speed of 1GHz but due to different manufacturing design differences, there could be a marginal variation in their performance. The TI OMAP 3630 CPU is the same which has been used in the Motorola Droid X.

Design and Build

Firstly, let's get over the handset's Apple iPhone like looks. Samsung did it with Galaxy S and now has kept the same design for Galaxy S LCD. When the Galaxy S GT-I9000 and GT-I9003 are placed next to each other with non-active screens, there's hardly any visible difference. Technically, there's a slight difference in weight and height between both devices. The overall finish of GT-I9003 is almost the same with rectangular Home button and two capacitive keys - Menu and Back.

Galaxy S GT-I9000 vs. Galaxy S LCD GT-I9003

Galaxy S GT-I9000 alongside the GT-I9003

With a glossy finish, the plastic body of the GT-I9003 quickly catches fingerprint smudges and requires frequent wiping to ensure that the screen appears clean. Despite gaining some thickness and a bit of height, the new Galaxy S LCD indeed is slim.

Galaxy S LCD has a 4-inch Super Clear LCD display which supports multi-touch and offers 480x800 pixel resolution. It is needless to state the display is big enough to watch a 720p HD video and pinch-zoom the photos or webpages. Oh yes, the display does support pinch and zoom gestures for the home screen, photos, web pages, documents and in several other apps.

GT-I9003 vs GT-I9000
Slim Twins

At the back, lies a speaker that is decent enough in places filled with ambient sounds. This smartphone has a 5 megapixel camera albeit without LED Flash. Looks like Samsung did not hear several users and geeks ranting about the lack of LED Flash in Galaxy S I9000. Most likely, the GT-I9003 has been manufactured using the GT-I9000 reference design as well as parts. The latter seems a more plausible reason.

To the right lies the Power/Lock button and on the left lies the Volume rocker keys. On the top lies the 3.5mm audio port and next to it is the MicroUSB (USB 2.0) port covered with a sliding lid. The SIM card slot and the microSD card slot are located at the back panel cover. This phone comes with 4GB internal storage out of which you will get only 1.5GB free for installing apps or putting multimedia on it.

Task Manager

Both Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 and S LCD GT-I9003 have 512MB RAM but since the latter houses a different processor and GPU, the available RAM is more - 478MB.

Update: The Super Clear LCD display does come with the Gorilla Glass Technology.

Operating System and Interface

The Galaxy S LCD GT-I9003 comes with Android 2.2.1 Froyo by default unlike the Galaxy S GT-I9000 preloaded with Android 2.1 Eclair. But the recent Galaxy S GT-I9000 devices already had the Froyo update running on them. The Android 2.2.1 Froyo richness has Samsung's proprietary TouchWiz 3.0 UI running on it which also brings a few useful features. After unboxing the smartphone, I plugged it to Samsung Kies to get Froyo build update and later connected to Wi-Fi for updating the Google Apps.

Galaxy S GT-I9003 has new lock screen that can be unlocked by swiping on either sides instead of swiping it upwards. The smartphone retains the homescreen like the one on GT-9000 and has seven panes. If you pinch across the touchscreen, you'll get to see all seven panes stacked up in the editing mode. For adding widgets or changing the wallpaper, press and hold anywhere on the active homescreen to get the pop-up menu. Samsung has added a couple of new live wallpapers but do remember that live wallpapers tend to eat up a lot of battery life. The bottom of the screen shows the usual icons wherein the right most is the gateway to the Applications Menu.

Home screen & Apps

The TouchWiz 3.0 UI over the Android 2.2.1 Froyo brings a built-in Task Manager which is so amazing that you won't need to install other Task Managers from the Android Market. The built-in task manager is slick and very easy to use. It shows details about running apps, downloaded apps, RAM being used and Storage details.

Samsung bada OS had intuitive swipe gestures implemented in the Phonebook. The same feature has been added to the GT-I9003 and so while using the Phonebook, if you swipe left to right on a contact, you can make a call to that contact. Swiping right to left will let you compose a new text message to the respective contact. This swipe implementation is certainly cool. The Phonebook also gets the SNS (Social Network Services) Integration so you'll get to see activities of your contacts on Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and your office's Microsoft Exchange supporting accounts as well.

Swipe Interface

Most important improvement has been made in to the Status Bar - the Toggle switches given in Bada OS have been implemented to the Android 2.2.1 Interface. When you pull down the Notifications bearing Status Bar, you'll find the Toggle Switches for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, Silent Mode and Auto Rotation lock. That indeed is very helpful.

Heavy text messaging users can make the best of the built-in SWYPE feature that is a predictive text input technology meant for faster text input. It comes with a very limited library of its own but is programmed to learn from the words that exist on your mobile in your contacts, texts, notes, web browsing history and documents. To activate SWYPE, keep your finger tip pressed in the input area and a pop-up menu option will show up asking you to choose between SWYPE and Samsung Keyboard. Samsung has also added the Nuance developed XT9 predictive text input for those who type out loads of emails and text messages via their phones. Clearly, typing is good fun for those who try and get used with the SWYPE as well as XT9. For the rest like me, we will have to struggle with wrong key presses and use the Backspace key a lot.

ThinkFree documents viewer and editor comes quite handy while editing your documents while you are on the move. You can also sync your documents to the ThinkFree virtual storage if you have an account.

The eBook reader resembles the iBooks App on the Apple iOS. However, if you are not comfortable with the UI then you can certainly get the Adobe Reader from the Android Market.

Ebooks Reader


Social Hub and Samsung Apps store are pre-installed but it was a bit painful to get it activated. I had to register with two different IDs for Samsung Account and Social Hub. Do note that the Social Hub Premium is a device specific service and the Samsung Social Hub's Facebook Page clarifies:

Social Hub premium service is device-specific for some countries. For instance, Social Hub Premium is available on Wave II (S8530), Galaxy Tab (P1000), and Galaxy Ace (S5830) in India.

This is an Android handset so you can sync your contacts to your Google Account. Alternatively, you can save them on Phone or SIM.

Google Voice Search has been integrated but it hardly worked for me even though I tried to mimic accents. So, the trick is to choose English (India) language from Settings > Voice Input and Output > Google Voice Recognition Settings > Language. After having done that, the Google Voice search will work like a charm BUT only if you've data connection active- GPRS or Wi-Fi. I recommend using Wi-Fi settings for better results.

The only function I found annoying and buggy was the automatic screen rotation which would turn the portrait mode to landscape even when I had held the phone upright. I believe Samsung needs to fix bug with the ASR.

Multimedia Walkthrough

Watching photos on the phone's 4-inch display is fun. The built-in Gallery App shows up all photos and the videos on your phone as well as microSD card storage. The Gallery App has a nice user interface with photos stacked up and distributed in different album groups like Camera, Screenshots, Others and Videos in Media. You can edit or share an entire album by pressing and holding your finger for more than a second. You will get bars on top and bottom of the window that will offer you options for selecting the photos and details. You can either Select all or Delete them all at once. Alternatively, you can share these photos with others via Picasa, Bluetooth, Gmail or as MMS. You can also arrange your photos by different options like by date.

Every album will show photos in stacked or grid views and these views can be adjusted with a small toggle slider located on the top right corner.

Gallery & Radio


Even though the smartphone has a 5 megapixel camera sensor, it gives an average performance with noise in the photo quality. Of course you're going to miss the LED Flash and it will make several hold a grudge against Samsung for a long time. The camera has several shooting modes like single shot, smile shot, panorama and action shot - amateurs can expect decent performance. Just like other smartphones, the camera offers Negative, Black & White and Sepia options. You can fiddle around with the ISO settings and white balance to get the required image quality.

Samsung has added enough settings for getting good quality photos which clearly turn futile while shooting after dawn. The camera is capable of recording 720p HD but there's no HDMI out for sourcing it to an HD display.


Radio listeners would be pleased with the Stereo FM radio that works with the packed Samsung headsets which has the RDS module.

Music aficionados will have a good time with the music player that shows four tabs showing All Songs, Playlists, Album and Artists. Tap on the capacitive Menu button and choose the Go to Disc View to get the eye-candy view to see all the songs or album. The music player offers visualizations for those who wish to enjoy the Spectrum like bar visualizations when a song is being played. Audiophiles would certainly love the stock player that plays lossless FLAC files out of the box and all they need is hook in a good pair of in-ear earphones. Even the Winamp App for Android plays FLAC files.

You can adjust the Effects as per your listening habits to choose between Normal, Wide, Concert Hall, Music Clarity, Bass Enhancement and Externalisation. For the music, you can set the Equaliser to presets offered or put it on your own custom settings.

Video Player

Stock Video Player in the Galaxy S LCD is a pure bliss as it supports .mkv, DivX and XviD files out of the box. I loaded a 700MB file on the phone memory and enjoyed it. Scrolling on the timeline was smooth and the response was immediate but the video playback stuttered a bit. There's no reason to pin-point at the PowerVR SGX530 because the video didn't stutter with RockPlayer Lite to view the video. I expect the planned Android 2.3 Gingerbread update to bring a better video player that doesn't stutter during video playback. Though the smartphone's native Video Player is capable playing .mkv container files, it doesn't support all video codecs.

GPS and Layar

GPS locking with Google Maps was one of the early and crucial issues with the GT-I9000 and I hoped that it didn't exist in GT-I9003. But I was disappointed partially. Even this phone continues to have quick GPS locking issues. Whether I used the GPS or turned on data connection for A-GPS support, the accuracy level is still around 500-600 meters. It was the same with my backup phone Nokia E63. Apparently, the smartphone offers A-GPS support and is dependent on data connectivity to fetch the exact location.

Anyhow, if you're a Google Maps user then you can make the best of the Places, Navigation and Latitude layers that have been pre-installed as separate apps in the Froyo by default.

Layar


Layar interface is something every Android smartphone owner must use. Layar is an Augmented Reality browser that shows you digital information that is around you and your device. It shows all information around you like the buildings, important structures, restaurants, malls, bus stops, airport, etc. through the Layar App. For instance, when I fired up layer, it showed me Open Cell IDs (GSM Network Cells) and number of restaurants close to my place under the tab - Nearby.

You can either choose from the digital information available under the tab Nearby or select appropriate ones from those listed under Layers. If you go to the Layers tab and choose a Layer like the Open Cell ID, then it will open up your phone camera. At the top right corner of the screen, a circular radar shows GSM Cell towers closeby.

After working late in office, I was hungry. So I simply opened Layer and searched for Pizza and it showed me details of a Pizza Hut pretty closeby (in around 1KM distance) from my office. Furthermore, you can set filters from the Categories under Settings to show you relevant information that matters for you. This is a very nifty but data intensive app.

Battery Life

Samsung has added a 1650 mAh battery in this smartphone and it certainly adds extra juice to the smartphone. Since the GT-I9003 comes with a bit better battery, it certainly offers a couple of hours more than the GT-I9000. The 1650mAh battery easily fits into the GT-9000 which has 1500mAh battery so for those who're looking for an extra couple of hours for Galaxy S should totally get this one, if available. Do note that Samsung has replaced energy efficient Super AMOLED with the Super Clear LCD and also the battery issues that existed with that Galaxy S have been fixed.

Normal usage of the phone which involves number of calls, text messages, listening to music for about 30 mins and web browsing (over GPRS) for about two hours makes the battery last for almost about 1.5 days. Whenever I used GPS or downloaded apps over Wi-Fi, the battery started dropping rapidly. Even while watching an AVI file that was about 45 mins long, it would eat up about 10 to 12 percent of the battery life.

You can get up to two days of battery life if you turn off background data, uncheck Auto Sync and use GPRS only when required. That would give you a considerably high battery life. To conclude, I can say that the battery life of this smartphone is decent and would normally last for more than a day if used judiciously. It charges in around 2 hours and obviously takes more time if charged via a USB port.

Timeline, Open Graphs introduced at Facebook f8 conference

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced two key features for the social network at the annual f8 developer conference in San Francisco, California. Timeline and an updated version of Open Graphs are expected to revolutionize Facebook moving forward and change the way we share things with friends.
The first is Timeline which was created to address a need to share older status updates and other important events in your life. Current status updates get “pushed off a cliff” and are lost forever once they leave your profile.
Zuckerberg said the original Facebook profile represented the first five minutes of your life if you were to introduce yourself to someone new and your stream consisted of the next 15 minutes in your story. Timeline is described as the next step in telling your personal life story.
With Timeline, your entire life story can be told on a single page, dating back as far as you would like. The page layout resembles a personal blog with a large cover photo at the top followed by important updates listed in reverse chronological order as you scroll down through the page. Facebook automatically selects the most important updates and highlights them with a blue dot. Grey dots represent hidden updates that might not be as important.
Users can arrange their Timeline however they see fit by removing certain updates or highlighting others that might be important to them. Various filters can be applied to Timeline such as photos or maps of where you have been. Timeline will be rolling out progressively over the next couple of months.
The next major feature is an update to Open Graphs which brings a new class of apps that encompass multiple features in an effort to better link friends. Open Graphs allow you to share things like music, movies and news using the new ticker on the right side of Facebook in real time in what the company calls real time serendipity.

As was speculated last month and leaked yesterday, one of these new Open Graph features involves music.
Facebook has teamed with more than a dozen streaming music providers such as Spotify, Rdio and Vevo to bring music listening and sharing to Facebook. You will be able to see what your friends are listening to in the ticker and furthermore, you can tune in live to listen to exactly what they are hearing.
But music isn’t the only service that is getting the Open Graph treatment. Netflix CEO Reed Hastings took the stage to announce that his company was just one of nearly two dozen video providers that were launching Facebook apps designed to share what users were watching with their friends. News outlets, game developers and lifestyle app creators are also joining the Open Graph network. Zuckerberg believes this will be the next big way to spread the word about varying types of media socially.
Media apps for Open Graph are launching right now while other apps such as lifestyle and games will slowly be released alongside Timeline.

Windows 8 security feature could block dual-booting Linux

Microsoft's new secure-boot functionality in Windows 8 could prevent some users from running both Windows and Linux on their pre-built PCs, according multiple reports. Red Hat developer Matthew Garrett blogged about the possible lockout scenario a couple of days ago, where he explained the new Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) that Windows 8 will support, will prevent any unsigned executable or drivers from being loaded.
Although this is good news for blocking malware and rootkits at startup, it might also mean that users won't be able to dual-boot an alternative OS unless it's signed by a certificate authority, and the key that it is signed with is shipped on the system. According to Garrett, that's unlikely to happen if systems ship with only Microsoft and OEM keys.

In theory, the solution would simply be to disable the secure booting in the UEFI settings. However, it would be up to OEMs to include the option of disabling the secure boot feature and it isn't unreasonable to think that many will not -- if only for the sake of keeping users safe from themselves and lighten the load on their customer support staff.
As ZDNet's Mary-Jo Foley notes, this probably won't be a problem for those who build their own systems, with motherboard makers likely including the option of disabling secure boot or somehow allowing users to add unsigned code to a whitelist. This scenario leaves out laptop computers, however, which are bought directly from manufacturers.
It's a little early to grab a torch and pitchfork as you march your way to Redmond. For one thing I would throw away any conspiracy theory about Microsoft trying to kill Linux on consumer PCs -- why risk the backlash and possible anti-trust scrutiny when Linux barely holds 1% of the market? Nevertheless, its implementation is something to be concerned about and so far Microsoft hasn't come forward to explain how it will handle this situation.
We should note that Microsoft will continue to support the legacy BIOS interface in Windows 8, so current machines dual-booting Windows 7 and Linux should be able to upgrade with no problems. Microsoft only requires new systems conforming to the Windows 8 logo program to ship with UEFI and secure boot enabled.

PS3 gamers get exclusive early access to Battlefield 3 expansions

In a blog post today, DICE announced that it has signed a timed exclusivity pact with Sony that will give PlayStation 3 players early access to Battlefield 3's expansions. Sony loyalists will be able to play "full-blown" expansion packs one week ahead of other platforms. This will begin with "Back to Karkand," which is being offered initially as bonus content for preorder customers but will be available for all players sometime after the game's launch.
This isn't the first time we've seen such arrangements and it's presumably Sony's attempt to compete with Microsoft's deal with Activision. Since last year, the Xbox 360 has received dibs for a month after the release of Call of Duty downloadable content. Unfortunately, PC gamers have been caught in the crossfire and we assume they'll have to wait the extra week too -- despite EA's repeated assurance that Battlefield 3's developmental focus is on PC.

Back to Karkand is a themed expansion pack that contains about as much content as Battlefield: Bad Company 2's Vietnam DLC. It includes four remastered Battlefield 2 maps: Strike at Karkand, Gulf of Oman and the Sharqi Peninsula. Again, you can get the first expansion free by preordering Battlefield 3 and this might bypass the exclusive shenanigans you'll face when purchasing the DLC separately later. That's purely speculation on our part, though.
In case you missed the news this week, EA announced that Battlefield 3 would finally enter public beta at the end of this month. Folks who preordered the game or purchased the Limited Edition of Medal of Honor will gain entry on Tuesday, September 27. Everyone else will be ushered in two days later. Players will be limited to the "Rush" game mode on the map "Operation Metro." We included Battlefield 3's system requirements in our original post.

Intel's Core i7-2700K arrives next month for $330-$350

More rumors are surfacing regarding the Intel Core i7 2700K processor that's expected to debut in the coming weeks. Contrary to earlier reports claiming it would be introduced at the same $317 price point as the current Sandy Bridge flagship, the Core i7 2600K, it appears that Intel won't be reshuffling its price structure and instead will release the new chip at a higher price point in the range of $330 to $350.
In other words, the i7-2700K's arrival may not make the i7-2600K or any of the other Sandy Bridge offerings any cheaper. The other way we could look at it: Intel is not feeling a lot of pressure from AMD's upcoming FX-series processors, which will reportedly top out at around $245-$260 for the eight-core FX-8150 model.
The Core i7-2700K will have a base clock of 3.5GHz, up 100MHz from the 2600K, but will be otherwise identical to its predecessor. That means it would also sport four cores, Hyper-Threading support, 8MB L3 cache, and a 95W TDP. VR-Zone claims the 2700K will be a better overclocker than the 2600K as "Intel is apparently cherry picking the best of the best of its Sandy Bridge cores" for the new processor.
The site's sources also mentioned October 24 as the likely launch date for the Core i7-2700K. Meanwhile, the latest rumors say AMD is readying the FX Series for a launch a bit earlier on October 12, with the six-core FX-6100 priced at just $175, while the eight core FX-8120 and FX-8150 would cost around $205 and $245 each.

Apple decreasing dependence on Samsung for memory components

Apple has increased orders for DRAM and NAND flash memory from two Japanese component manufacturers in an effort to further decrease dependence on Samsung for various components. Industry sources say Toshiba is handling Apple’s NAND flash parts while Elpida Memory is responsible for supplying Cupertino with mobile RAM, according to a report from DigiTimes.
Apple was reportedly courting vendors to provide LCD screens for iPhones and iPads last month when it was rumored that they were prepared to invest up to $1 billion in Japanese corporation Sharp. It was unclear at the time if the news simply indicated that Apple was looking for a more diverse supplier portfolio or if they were specifically trying to cut ties with Samsung. This most recent development points to the latter. 
This isn’t surprising as Apple and Samsung have battled it out in various courts around the globe this year regarding patent infringement from both parties. Apple sued Samsung over Galaxy phones and tablets in California last April, claiming that Samsung has been riding Apple's coattails with devices such as the Galaxy S 4G, Epic 4G, Nexus S and Galaxy Tab by copying design elements from the iPhone and iPad.
Further litigation came in August when Apple successfully blocked Samsung from releasing their Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia, claiming that the tablet violates no less than 10 patents and is too similar to the iPad. Specific patent claims include the “look and feel” and touchscreen technology.

Blizzard: Diablo III to arrive in early 2012

Blizzard Entertainment has announced that Diablo III will not ship until early 2012, narrowly missing the lucrative holiday season and forcing anxious fans of the franchise to wait even longer to get their hands on the anticipated title.
The news comes just days after a closed beta launched on Battle.net, sparking speculation that the game could make it to store shelves before the end of the year. But after pulling together people from all of the teams involved in making the game, it was decided that the Diablo III needed a little more fine-tuning and polish to live up to the high expectations from both the developers and gamers.
Blizzard indicates that testing is going very well and that they will use the additional time to extend the beta and add more testers than originally planned.
"With every game we make, the temptation is always very strong to launch as soon as possible. However, we didn't put so many years of work into Diablo III to release a game that was almost ready," said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment.
Those hoping to participate in testing can log into their Battle.net account and opt-in for the closed beta. Users will be required to run a system diagnostic on their machine, which will capture specifications that Blizzard uses to ensure a nice mix of hardware and software for testing purposes.
Diablo II was released on June 29, 2000 with work on the third installment in the series starting a year later. The title was officially announced on June 28, 2008 at the Blizzard Worldwide Invitational in Paris, France.

Amazon to hold press event on September 28, tablet unveiling likely

Amazon could be set to release their anticipated tablet or a new Kindle as early as September 28. The company sent out invites to select media today, inviting them to attend a press conference scheduled for next Wednesday.
While it’s very possible that Amazon could simply be planning a Kindle refresh for the event, most media believe that the online retailer will unveil a 7-inch Android-based tablet, dubbed the Amazon Kindle. Earlier this month Tech Crunch claimed to get some hands-on time with the new tablet (sans photos or videos, unfortunately), saying the device resembled a BlackBerry PlayBook in terms of form factor.

TC further described the device as having a capacitive, full color touchscreen and a price point of $250. The Android software looks nothing like what we have seen thus far as the interface is all Amazon and Kindle. There is no Android Market or any Google app.
The unit was suspected to have a single-core CPU, but this couldn’t be confirmed. Expect around 6GB of onboard storage with more available in the cloud and no cameras. A Wi-Fi only model is expected at launch with 3G-enabled products coming a bit later.
The press event potentially solidifies rumors that we could expect the device to launch sometime in September, although it remains to be seen if Amazon can move an estimated five million tablets in the upcoming quarter as speculated by Forrester analyst Sarah Rotman Epps last month.

Bad credit mortgages, also referred to as adverse credit remortgages, are essentially home loans for people with bad credit that consolidate all your debts, and secure them against your home.
Even if you’ve mortgaged or remortgaged your home previously, there’s still equity in your home i.e. the difference between the value of your home and the liabilities you owe on it. These specialized lenders of bad credit mortgages will secure the new loan against your home, taking into account this equity.

Bad Credit Remortgage Tips Qualifications

However, as someone with a bad credit score, you need to remember that not only will you find it hard to qualify for a card in the first place, but even if you do, the interest rates would be extremely high. Credit cards are an unsecured form of loan, where as bad credit remortgages are secured against your home.

One of the most important bad credit remortgage tips are your credit history. You need to find ways to improve your credit rating and give it some time before it is reflected back at your credit history. Another bad credit remortgage tip is to find creative ways to improve your credit rating.

You may have settled an outstanding debt which may not have been removed from the report.
According to Wikipedia – “If a consumer disputes some information in a credit report, the credit bureau has 30 days to verify the data. Over 70 percent of these consumer disputes are resolved within 14 days and then the consumer is notified of the resolution. The Federal Trade Commission states that one large credit bureau notes 95 percent of those who dispute an item seem satisfied with the outcome.” You can read more about the article here.

Secured Loans

 

Some of the other items that can be used as collateral to obtain secured loans are works of art, furniture, jewelry and livestock. Even home equity loans or second mortgages can be secured loans. But, the borrower gets the title only after the repayment of the entire sum.

Loans that are offered against collateral are referred to as secured loans. This type of loan is the preferred form, especially when anyone requires substantial sums of money. An asset whose legal rights are vested with the lender in case of non-payment of the loan by the borrower is called collateral. A lender would not like to extend huge sums of money without some kind of security. In case the borrower fails to repay the loan within the stipulated time, the lender can exercise the option of selling the security to recover the money he is owed by the borrower.

If secured loans are obtained for the purchase of a home or a car or any other property, the item can be used as collateral and a lien can be placed on such purchases. The lender, which could be a bank or a finance company, will keep possession of the title or deed and return it to the borrower on payment of the entire loan and the interest accrued on it. In addition, other financial assets such as stocks, bonds or personal property could be kept as collateral to secure a loan.

Going by their very nature, secured loans carry a lower rate of interest than unsecured loans. The popularity of secured loans is greater than that of unsecured loans because the lender is assured of recovery as he has security, while the borrower feels more comfortable as the rate of interest is low on secured loans. Another likely advantage of secured loans is the relatively longer period of repayment, which gives breathing time to the borrower. Home ownership in the US is financed mostly through mortgage lending, as in most other countries.

Such secured loans amortize over longer periods, usually around 30 years. In case the borrower fails to pay mortgage, the lender retains the option to foreclose or repossess the house. While opting for secured loans, the borrower should verify the credentials of the lender and ensure that the EMI is within manageable limits.

Mesothelioma Lawyers San Diego

Mesothelioma Lawyers in San Diego

Mesothelioma Lawyers in San Diego
To understand how to choose a lawyer for this disease, you should first understand the basics of the disease. In the simplest sense, mesothelioma is a cancer of the protective layers of the body cavities, known as the mesothelium.
These tissues have different names depending on the organs they protect. You have probably heard of the peritoneum–this is the covering around the stomach and intestines. Other organs and cavities have their own membranes as well.
Mesothelioma is a cancer of these tissues. They often do not just affect the tissues–they affect the organs they surround and can spread elsewhere. This cancer is most often contracted by exposure to asbestos, a highly dangerous mineral often found in floors, ceilings, and some products.
Employers and landlords are supposed to protect you from asbestos, but often this does not happen. If you have mesothelioma you have probably been exposed to asbestos. If so, you should contact mesotheloma attorneys in your area to see if you have a case against the party responsible for your exposure.
How Do I Choose?
San Diego is a big place. The whole area is so large it is almost connected to Los Angeles now with no real division. Choosing a professional in this area is a daunting task for busy people, so here are some steps to take to make the process easier.
Mesolthelioma lawyers get to know the doctors who treat the disease. Over time they develop relationships and form help networks for patients. Often a doctor will have several contacts in the legal field and a lawyer will have several contacts in the medical field. This helps save you time.
If you have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, your oncologist may be your best source of names for attorney contacts. She will likely have already worked with them on cases and can tell you not only who specializes in your type of cancer but who is best and who is within a short distance from your home or work. If she does not have the right kind of specialist, there are other ways to find the right professional for your case.
You can check with other doctors who deal specifically deal with mesothelioma if your doctor is more of a general oncologist. These doctors may have worked more closely with mesothelioma lawyers in your area of southern California. You can also call local hospitals, various cancer support groups–area law schools are also excellent for references. Also check your union or professional group if you were exposed on the job.

Purchase Structured Settlements And Make Money

Structured settlements are financial or insurance arrangements where a person or entity has been given a certain sum of money to compensate for some wrongdoing. In quite a few cases many people can buy structured settlements as an investment. These are usually done after an injury to a person or damage to certain property. The structured settlements were started back in the 1970′s as an option used in lieu of large sum settlement payments. The structured settlements are now part of legal regulations in the United States, Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom. These structured settlements come in multiple forms including periodic payments, a trial judgement along with income tax and spending requirements and benefits.  For many companies, purchasing a structured settlement can be a very advantageous proposition. When looking to purchase structured settlements there are some steps and things to consider. For people, purchasing structured settlements is very rare but for companies it is quite beneficial. Companies usually buy a structuted settlement and use it to re sell to the financial markets in the form of bonds. They buy a security investment that pays out monthly to certain parties. The companies make money on structured settlements by selling for more than they bought it for. When purchasing structured settlements it is advised to get quotes from the companies that are buying them in order to figure out how much you’ll be able to make on such a deal. This is the common process in order to purchase structured settlements.  A typical scenario in structured settlements would go like this: a person gets into a car accident and gets injured. Instead of suing the insruance company or being liable for a high amount of damages, the plaintiff will agree to pay a certain amount over time. As a result the individual pays a certain amount of money over time to compensate for the injury and/or damage of property.  Structured settlements are quite beneficial for many parties so it can be a great opportunity to get a decent amount of money fast and use that to improve your financial situation in many cases.

A blue pantsuit-wearing Paris Hilton is mobbed by adoring fans in Mumbai

Mumbai Madam: Paris Hilton arrives in Mumbai, India today surrounded by adoring fans

It's very hard to have the blues when you're surrounded by adoring fans as Paris Hilton was today.

The 30-year-old heiress arrived in Mumbai, India to a throng of excited onlookers and photographers.

She must have thought a blue pantsuits was appropriate attire for the country.


An American in India: The heiress flashes her jewelled phone

Perhaps she also thought her headband and beaded necklace would help her fit in.

Regardless of her attire, Paris truly did seem to be dearly beloved by the crowd.

In turn, she gave them what they wanted, posing prettily for the cameras and flashing her blinged out mobile phone.

Ooh la la: A joyeux Paris is happy to see her fans in Mumbai

Although she's had her fair share of problems lately, the blonde bombshell seems to be turning her life around.

The reality star was recently sentenced to one years probation, 200 hours of community service and fined $2000 following a cocaine possession charge last year.

Rather than just complete her sentence, Paris tagged on an extra 28 hours of community service, just for good measure.

Paris had plead guilty to misdemeanor charges of drug possession and obstructing a police officer after the car that she was a passenger in, driven by ex-boyfriend Cy Waits was pulled over on Aug. 26, 2010.


Mirror image: Paris Hilton takes a photo of herself in the Mumbai airport

She was then arrested when a bag containing 0.8 of a gram of cocaine was discovered in her purse as she reached for lip balm in front of an officer.

However, that's all in the past. In fact, the heiress seems to be turning herself into an 'Eat, Pray, Love' machine if her tweet today is any indication.

'Love making the most out of life! Feel so proud and accomplished. Never been happier! :)' she wrote.
