How To Access Blocked Websites

This article suggests workarounds to help you unblock access to restricted websites at universities, school and offices.

Blocking access to undesirable Web sites has been a common government tactic but China, Iran, Saudi Arabia are believed to extend greater censorship over the net than any other country in the world.

Most of the blocked or blacklisted sites in Saudi Arabia are about sex, religion, women, health, politics and pop culture. They even block access to websites that sell swimming or bathing suits. In China, websites that talk about sex, Tibet or Democracy are blocked.

Social sites that are often blocked include Google News, Typepad, ebay, Blogger blogs, YouTube, Facebook, Bebo, Myspace, Orkut, MySpace, Pandora, Bebo, Photobucket, Yahoo! Messenger, AOL AIM, Flickr, last.fm, etc.

There are always legitimate reasons to bypass the internet filters and unblock websites. The following tricks will show how to access all websites at school, college, offices or at home.

1: To access blocked website, type the IP number instead of the URL in the browser address bar. However, if your blocking software maps the IP address to the web server (reverse DNS lookup), the website will still remain blocked.

2: Use a URL redirection service like tinyurl.com or snipurl.com. These domain forwarding services sometimes work as the address in the the url box remain the redirect url and do not change to the banned site.

3: Enter the URL in Google or Yahoo search and then visit the cached copy of the page. To retrieve the page more quickly from Google’s cache, click “Cached Text Only” while the browser is loading the page from cache.

4: There are anonymizer websites who will fetch the blocked web page from their servers and display them to you. As far as the service provider is concerned, you are viewing the page on the Anonymizer website and not the blocked site.
Example: www.hidemyass.com, www. myblack.com, www.120yearoldman.com etc

5: You can access blocked or restricted websites by using Yahoo Babelfish or Google Translate language tools as a proxy server. But you just have to invoke the Google translate service with the language pair like English to Hindi or English to some other languages.

6: Browse the internet via proxy server software. Example: Your freedom, ultrasurf

Hackers Concentrating On Mobile Phone Security

Cellular phone gadgets, long seen as safe amongst rising dangers to computer protection, have become a key target for online hackers and an increasing worry for business IT divisions. While the first cellular virus goes to May 2004, dangers from online hackers you will find limited because of the relatively small size of industry place.

But this has changed recently with the rise in the mobile cellphone section, which this year outgrew the PC industry, and the new popularity of Google Operating system application. The appearance of cellular payments, which allows customers simply to swipe their mobile phones at a check out, is whetting the interest of online hackers and information crooks.
"Mobile protection has become a major concern since mobile cellphone dealings are now of much higher value, such as business information accessibility, handling financial circumstances and online buys," said Steven Nathasingh, primary of U.S. analysis company Vaxa Inc. Most customers have not protected their smartphones on the market. Less than 5 % of smartphones on the market and pills are installed with protection application, according to Juniper Research.

The analysis company desires to see a rise in demand with the total yearly industry for cellular protection application growing to $3.6 million by 2016. "With more and more cellular mobile phones being hi-jacked without the person's knowledge, the risk of personality fraud and individual financial loss is developing," said Chris Davin, leader of Cryptzone.
A study by consultant Deloitte this weeks time revealed that companies in the engineering, media and telecommunications segment expect information kept on staff cellular mobile phones to be their biggest protection frustration in 2012. "Employees should be advised that using a individual system to accessibility business information may also have individual effects," said Cryptzone's Davin. "For example if it is missing, thieved or clandestinely taken over, the organization may decide to remove information."
In the United States alone, 113 cellular mobile phones are missing every minute, according to analysis company Gartner. For most attacks thieves would need to set up application on a individuals cellphone. But at a hackers' meeting this weeks time Karsten Nohl, a well-known expert on cellular cellphone protection, proven how to get handheld remote control of a cellphone and sent texts and created calls from mobile phones to which he had no accessibility.

Nohl used a weeknesses in the GSM network engineering -- which is used by huge people in about 80 % of the global cellular industry -- which workers can spot in their systems, but which is not done by most providers.

Train-Switching Technological Innovation Creates Huge Hacking Threat

Prof Stefan Katzenbeisser made the state at the Madness Interaction The legislature in Germany.The lecturer said that the programs which swap teaches from one line to another could be turn down if security important factors went down the incorrect path.He distressed that teaches would not be risk, but there could be waiting.Train-switching programs have typically been handled by amazing analogue programs.

At the end of the last millennium, more than 35 incompatible programs were used for train marketing and sales communications across The european union.A number of companies met to deal with this and determined to swap to a single electronic typical to make sure they could resource alternative components and make different companies' programs interoperable.
They designed GSM-Railway (GSM-R), a more protected edition of the 2G wifi typical used by cellular phone devices.It allows visitors remote controls and practice individuals to discuss to each other, and for information to be given documenting the car's rate and place. The control hub then uses the information to give the practice authorization to get into the next part of the monitor, on paper making trackside alerts needless.
The engineering is already being used in components of The european union, African-american and Japan. Program Track is moving it out in the UK and goals to deal with all The united kingdom's rail collections by the end of 2014.

Prof Katzenbeisser considers the computer is relatively protected from online hackers under typical conditions. However, the computer research professional from Technische Universitat Darmstadt alerts that security important factors, used to secure the marketing and sales communications, could position dangers.

"The main problem I see is a process of modifying... important factors. This will be a big concern later on, how to controls these important factors securely," he informed Reuters information organization at the convention.The information organization said the important factors are downloadable to physical press such as USB stays before being allocated for set up.

It said the possibility would happen if one of them dropped into the incorrect palms. This could allow online hackers to support a refusal of service assault by frustrating the alerts system with visitors, driving it to turn down."Trains could not collision, but services could be disturbed for some time," the lecturer said.However, a spokesperson for Program Track performed down the possibility.

XBOX TV Takes Microsoft To The Next Level

Microsoft laid out a grand plan to turn your Xbox 360 into an even stronger hub for everthing from television shows and movies to music at E3 this year. That dashboard update launches tomorrow, bringing with it the ability to use your Kinect to search for content across every service you have connected to your system, as well as Microsoft's digital storefronts on Xbox Live and live television.Unfortunately, not all of Microsoft's content partners will be ready for the service's launch tomorrow. HBO Go won't be available until early 2012, nor will Comcast's Xfinity on-demand library.

I’m no gamer. I fall well outside the target audience for an Xbox 360 – or a PS3, or, despite what Nintendo might hope to convince me about “casual” gaming, a Wii – at least until today. And yet, Microsoft’s comprehensive roadmap of content partners (notable for not limiting itself to merely the US audience, too) has me reconsidering. The straightforward Kinect-based control holds no small amount of appeal, too, since anything I buy for home entertainment purposes has to satisfy that all-important spousal-approval factor.

Microsoft isn’t alone in that, mind. Apple’s television intentions are well-rumored, with the latest batch describing a Siri-powered trio of HDTV sets that use the virtual personal assistant technology to streamline navigation through cable, free-to-air, on-demand and recorded content. Google TV, meanwhile, has had the advantage of being on the market, but that’s about the only positive thing you can say so far. Its complex first-gen interface could well have been all the inspiration Microsoft required to push ahead with Kinect-powered speech and gesture control.

A Siri-powered TV isn’t here yet. Google TV v2.0 is yet to convince that it can deliver not only on usability with its pared-down but still technically-focused UI, but on content and access deals with providers that have proved to be wary of the Google-powered free-for-all. An Xbox 360 costs $299.99 with a Kinect thrown in the box, and you can buy one today.

Here are the services that will be available tomorrow, along with which market they will be active:

• EPIX. United States
• ESPN on Xbox LIVE (ESPN). United States
• Hulu. Japan
• Hulu Plus. United States
• LOVEFiLM. United Kingdom
• Netflix. Canada, United States
• Premium Play by (MediaSet). Italy
• Sky Go (SkyDE). Austria, Germany
• Telefónica España - Movistar Imagenio. Spain
• TODAY (MSNBC). United States

The search functionality that allows you to look for content across a variety of outlets and apps is fascinating, as is the ability to control the service by waving your arms if you own a Microsoft Kinect, but the real power of these deals is the emphasis they place on Microsoft's hardware. By bundling all our digital subscriptions and content through the Xbox 360, Microsoft wants to make sure your gaming console is at the heart of your entertainment center. Xbox Live subscribers and subscribers of these digital services won't have access to much in the way of new content, but it will all be centralized in one location.

This is different than the Apple TV's strategy of offering content such as television shows and movies as discrete items and selling or renting them directly to consumers as well as streaming your existing content. Microsoft wants to be the box you turn on when you want to watch anything, whether it's live or streaming, no matter what content delivery service you're going to be enjoying.

Apple Being Questioned About Its Carrier IQ

"We read in the press about the privacy concerns the software may pose and decided to ask Apple about the details," said Thomas Kranig, head of the Bavarian agency. "If Apple decided to cease the use, all the better."

European privacy regulators are asking mobile-phone carriers and makers including Apple Inc to answer questions about privacy issues regarding Carrier IQ Inc's mobile phone usage-tracking software. Germany's Bavarian State Authority for Data Protection contacted Apple today as regulators in the UK, France, Ireland and Italy review whether Carrier IQ is in use in their jurisdictions. Apple said yesterday it will stop supporting the software.

Privacy watchdogs were alerted to the issue after Trevor Eckhart, a Connecticut-based programmer, posted a 17-minute video three days ago on his YouTube.com channel, showing how the data-collecting software logs what people are doing on their phones without their knowledge. Carrier IQ faces allegations that the software logs sensitive phone-user information. US Senator Al Franken yesterday urged the Mountain View, California-based developer to share more information about what the product does and whether it transmits data to other parties.

Carrier IQ's "mobile service intelligence" platform receives data sent from phones for analysis to track "customer behavior and usage patterns," according to the company's website. The company's products allow clients to track both "broad trend data" and "diagnostic data from individual devices," the site says.






Anonymous, encrypted

"We stopped supporting Carrier IQ with iOS5 in most of our products and will remove it completely in a future software update," Natalie Harrison, a spokeswoman for Apple, said in an e-mailed statement yesterday. "With any diagnostic data sent to Apple, customers must actively opt-in to share this information, and if they do, the data is sent in an anonymous and encrypted form and does not include any personal information." Georg Albrecht, a spokesman for Cupertino, California-based Apple in Germany, declined to comment on the Bavarian agency's letter.

Carrier IQ applications "give wireless carriers and handset manufacturers unprecedented insight into their customers' mobile experience," according to the company website. Over 141 million handsets have the software, according to data on its website. The Carrier IQ software doesn't record keystrokes or provide tracking tools, the company said in a November 16 statement.

'Direct from source'

The software works "by automatically providing accurate, real-time data direct from the source - your customers' handsets," according to the website. The data is gathered with "no visible impact" on customers. European privacy regulators said today they are checking with mobile phone operators in their regions to see if Carrier IQ software tracks usage on handsets there.

Italy's Protection of Personal Data Guarantor opened an investigation into how Carrier IQ works and is checking Italian mobile phones to verify where the software is in use, according to a statement by Francesco Pizzetti, president of the Italian watchdog. The UK Information Commissioner's Office "will be contacting mobile phone operators to establish if the Carrier IQ or similar software is on UK customers' handsets and, if so, what steps are being taken to ensure there are no privacy implications," the data protection watchdog said in an e-mailed statement.




Defending use

French privacy regulator CNIL has also begun reviewing Carrier IQ, Elsa Trochet-Mace, a spokeswoman for the regulator, said in an e-mail. Initial finding show the software is not in use in France, she said. Ireland's data-protection agency will contact mobile phone operators as well to see if and how Carrier IQ is used there.

AT&T Inc and Sprint Nextel Corp yesterday defended the use of Carrier IQ software. The Carrier IQ software is a so-called rootkit installed at the carriers' request on mobile phones. The application runs in the background and logs user activity. The software data is used to improve service performance, according to statements from AT&T and Sprint, the second- and third-largest US wireless providers.

RIM's BlackBerry Mobile Fusion To Compete With iPhone & Android

Research In Motion has long touted enterprise-level security and management as a selling point of its BlackBerry devices, a key differentiator from the Apple iPhones and Google Android smartphones flooding both the business and consumer market. Now, it seems, RIM has decided to extend its branded management capabilities to platforms beyond BlackBerry, in what could represent a significant strategy change for the company.

"We are pleased to introduce BlackBerry Mobile Fusion -- RIM's next generation enterprise mobility solution -- to make it easier for our business and government customers to manage the diversity of devices in their operations today," RIM vice-president Alan Panezic said in a statement. "It provides the necessary management capabilities to allow IT departments to confidently oversee the use of both company-owned and employee-owned mobile devices within their organizations," he said.

RIM’s upcoming BlackBerry Mobile Fusion is designed, in the words of the company’s Nov. 29 press release, to “simplify the management of smartphones and tablets running BlackBerry, Google Android, and Apple iOS operating systems.” In other words, IT administrators and CIOs will have the ability to control all those devices via a Web-based console, from instituting security policies to managing applications. For those shops continuing to support BlackBerry devices, RIM will include BlackBerry Enterprise Server 5.0.3, which offers features such as over-the-air app and software installation.

With BlackBerry Mobile Fusion, RIM has acknowledged the increasingly heterogeneous nature of enterprise mobility, which in turn has threatened the BlackBerry’s longstanding lock on many companies’ IT infrastructure. As the recession slashed corporate budgets for massive smartphone buys, and as the increased popularity of smartphones put more Google Android devices and Apple iPhones in executives’ hands, both small companies and large enterprises saw an influx of personal devices retrofitted for business use.

General availability of the new enterprise server is expected in late March, the company said. RIM's shares climbed 7.5 percent in early trading in Toronto to CAN$18.28 (US$17.76) following the announcement. In addition to BlackBerry Mobile Fusion, RIM is also betting on an upcoming line of “superphones” running its in-development BBX operating system. An exact launch date for those devices has not been publicly declared.

Who Said Gaming Is Bad? => It Increases Creativity

Despite all those bad talks about video games which makes you think that playing it is a sin, playing video games may actually boost creativity among boys and girls, independently of their violent or non-violent nature.A study of nearly 500, 12-year-olds found that the more they played video games, the more creative they were in tasks such as drawing pictures and writing stories.

The research out of Michigan State University, published online in the journal Computers in human behavior, suggests that of the 491 12-year-olds studied, the ones who play video games tend to be more creative, regardless of whether those games are violent--and that the more they play, the more creative they are. Linda Jackson, professor of psychology at Michigan State University (MSU) and project leader, said the study appears to be the first evidence-based demonstration of a relationship between technology use and creativity, the journal Computers in Human Behavior reports.About 72 percent of US households play video or computer games, says the Entertainment Software Association, according to a Michigan statement.

The MSU findings should motivate game designers to identify the aspects of video game activity that are responsible for the creative effects, Jackson said."Once they do that, video games can be designed to optimise the development of creativity while retaining their entertainment values such that a new generation of video games will blur the distinction between education and entertainment," Jackson said.

First, there is the issue of how one goes about measuring creativity. Jackson suggests this study provides the first evidence-based demonstration of a relationship between technology use and creativity. Measuring technology use was easy. To measure creativity, her team relied on the "widely-used" Torrance Test of Creative Thinking, which involved having the kids perform various tasks, such as drawing pictures from a curved shape and then naming and writing stories about those pictures.Some of the resulting work was labeled "interesting and exciting," while other work was, well, not. So what does this tell us? That kids who play video games meet one set of criteria for creativity more than kids who don't.

The researchers surveyed 491 middle-school students as part of Michigan's Children and Technology Project. Regardless of gender, race or type of game played by the students, the study found a relation between video game playing and greater creativity.

iPad And Angry Bird Goes Out Of Space

Guys its true, have u ever imagined that an iPad is gonna be taken away from the earth surface, that is gonna happen soon.

Kelly Humphries, NASA representative, revealed to space news website collectSPACE that two iPads are heading for the International Space Station (ISS) in the next few days.

The two iPads are being placed in an unmanned rocket along with other supplies for the two cosmonauts and one astronaut that are currently onboard the ISS. According to Humphries, the iPads will be used only for entertainment, and before the brand was chosen NASA teams had looked through a wide range of tablets and compared their benefits.

Next year, other tablets will probably join the iPads in space. So far, the ISS is like a little Apple fan club since, with two laptops from an unknown maker, there are a few iPods even from 2005 and two iPhone 4 handsets.

Oddly enough the latest shuttle will also transport an Angry Birds soft toy at the request of space personnel. Cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov revealed the mystery: "At a time when [we] start weightlessness, about 10 minutes after launch, it will begin to float". The low-tech indicator for the zero gravity point is a tradition for astronauts and cosmonauts who use small charms all the time for this purpose.

iPhone 4S Comes To India :)

Hey all you guys who are very desperate in getting a iPhone 4S u dont have to worry at all now its gonna be here. You should be able to get your hands on an iPhone 4S in India on November 24th, says BGR, who have had a knack of predicting Apple's India-related launches in the past.
News is that it will not be getting any cheaper, with the 8GB iPhone 4 retailing for around Rs 30,000.
The pricing is expected to be more or less in line with prevailing exchange rates. For unlocked iPhones, the 3GS starts at $375, and goes up to $849. Add a safe $50 markup for tax and duties to the $549 iPhone 4, and you'd arrive at a figure close to Rs 30,000.

As per their current pricing structure, you're looking at a minimum $100 markup for every incremental iPhone in the line-up. Also, you shouldn't be surprised when the present 16 and 32GB versions go out of stock soon. So if you plan to buy one in that size, now is a good time.

Eee Pad Slider Is Out Ohya...............

Eee Pad Slider is a tablet that features a slide-out keyboard and the new Google Android 3.1 operating system, as well as a plethora of powerful multimedia features, powered by the NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual core processor.A winning design at the International Design Excellence Awards 2011, the ASUS Eee Pad Slider comes in a choice of pearl white or metallic brown. The panel is protected by a layer of scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass. It also comes with a front-facing 1.2MP camera and back-facing 5MP camera.

But before you get too excited about the prospect of a laptop-tablet hybrid that combines the best of both worlds, I have to tell you that you're not getting a Windows laptop in the bargain. The Transformer runs Google Inc.'s Android software, originally designed for smartphones.That means it doesn't run full-blown Windows programs or connect to peripherals such as scanners. This isn't all a bad thing, as Android comes with important advantages, such as a long battery life, programs designed for touch input and a computer that comes to life almost immediately when you open the lid.

The keyboard may sound a bit expensive for $149, but it does more than help with typing. It has a track pad with "mouse buttons," just as you'd find on a laptop. It also contains an extra battery that charges the tablet's battery, two USB ports for connecting peripherals and a slot for SD memory cards, used in most digital cameras.

This isn't the first time we've seen small laptops running Android, the first Android version specifically designed for tablets rather than smartphones. The update makes Android much better at taking advantage of a 10-inch screen.But as tablet software, Android is still far behind Apple's iOS software for the iPad. The biggest problem is the low quality and poor selection of applications from outside companies. Many of my favorite iPad apps, including Netflix and The Wall Street Journal are not available at all. Others, such as The New York Times, are available only in inferior versions, designed for the smartphone screen rather than the tablet.

The Transformer has two slots for the keyboard to lock into, forming a sturdy whole that's easy to use on a lap or tummy, for those really lazy moments on the couch.There's another nice thing about the Transformer keyboard: The keys are designed for the software. There are keys that bring you to the Home screen and Settings. Others control screen brightness, volume and media playback. There are buttons for the Back and Menu functions of Google's Android software. The Transformer is perhaps the best Android tablet out there, especially considering the price, but the software is still a major weakness. Still, the beautifully integrated keyboard should tempt people who don't want to decide between a tablet and a laptop.

iPad 3 Early Next Year Wow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Notwithstanding the fact that Apple enjoys overwhelming superiority in the tablet market, a PCworld report says that Android tablets are fast catching up with Cupertino based tech giant. The report suggests that Apple’s share in tablet market has slid to close to 65 percent from its overwhelming dominant position when it enjoyed close to 80 percent market share sometimes ago.

Apple iPad 3 is going to be a reality very soon. Reports suggest that Apple has been reminding its suppliers in Taiwan and China to expedite the production and supply of iPad 3 components. Reports suggest that Apple is working overtime to bring out a perfect 9.7-inch, 2048 x 1536 pixel display for its forthcoming tablet.

Apple shipped 11.12 million iPad units in the last quarter. It was close to 2 million units more than the previous quarter. Apple wants to keep the dominance at the same level or even increase it further. Android tablet producers on the other hand are unable to match the quality of iPads, though they are launching cheap tabs that may help increase their market share when it comes to tablet market.

A report in the Wall Street Journal says that Apple has placed orders for more than 1.5 million iPad units. It goes on to suggest that “Suppliers will ramp up production and try to improve the yield rate for the new iPad in the fourth quarter before its official launch in early 2012”. Apple wouldn’t like to see its dominance come down in the market so fast. And so it is trying to bring out something that cannot be matched by its fledgling competitors in the market.

Biological Computers Prototype => Work In Progress

A group of researchers at Imperial College London have claimed that they are now one step closer to making the first ever digital device in human history comprising of biological components such as bacteria and DNA.The revelation has no doubt beefed up the belief of all those who always thought some day in future we will have tiny little biological computers roaming around our bodies to constantly monitor and improve our health condition.

"Logic gates are the fundamental building blocks in silicon circuitry that our entire digital age is based on," said Richard Kitney co-author of the research project recently published in the journal nature Communications. "Without them, we could not process digital information. Now that we have demonstrated that we can replicate these parts using bacteria and DNA, we hope that our work could lead to a new generation of biological processors, whose applications in information processing could be as important as their electronic equivalents."

The group of geniuses from Imperial College also demonstrated how they can successfully develop logic-gates, made of harmless chemicals and bugs. The logic gates invented by the researchers also happen to be the most advanced ‘biological developed till this date.

"Logic gates are the fundamental building blocks in silicon circuitry that our entire digital age is based on. Without them, we could not process digital information," said Professor Richard Kitney, one of the researchers involved in the project, DailyMail UK reports."Now that we have demonstrated we can replicate these parts using bacteria and DNA, we hope that our work could lead to a new generation of biological processors, whose applications in information processing could be as important as their electronic equivalents," he added.

According to a press release, the project group performed a successful test in which they showed that their biological gates can replicate the process that is equivalent to an electronic transistor gate that can be switched on and off. While Kitney said that his gates are the most advanced biological logic gates ever created, he conceded that they are not close to actually producing them for actual products.

The next step in the development are multiple gates in "more complex circuitry", which could one day lead to building blocks for "microscopic biological computers". Kitney envisions, for example, sensors that swim inside arteries, or even devices that detect and destroy cancer cells inside the body. There could also be pollution monitors that detect and kill "dangerous toxins such as arsenic".

God Man Its iPhone 4S Not iPhone 5!!!!!!!11

At his first major product launch since being crowned CEO, Tim cock ceded the critical iPhone presentation to another executive, and failed to generate the same level of excitement and buzz that predecessor Steve jobs was famous for.The new iPhone 4S is identical in form to the previous model, disappointing fans who had hoped for a thinner, bigger-screened design. Apple's shares fell as much as 5 percent, before recovering with the broader market to close down 0.6 percent.But analysts say the new device sported some new features, such as voice commands, to draw in consumers and is still going to be a big draw this holiday season, particularly as the phone is now available on Sprint's network in addition to AT&T and Verizon wireless.


The focus at Tuesday's iPhone 4S launch was on price. The oldest iPhone not to be discontinued, the 3GS, will now be free with a two-year contract. The iPhone 4 range will be reduced to just one model, with a mere 8GB of storage – the biggest 4S has 64GB – but will cost just $99 on a two year tie-in.

The changes to Apple's European smartphone market share for the first half of the year show why Cook needs a wider economic catchment. Samsung is gaining ground and fast. As Nokia committed hara-kiri by abandoning its Symbian operating system and letting its market share fall from over 40% in the first quarter of 2010 to 11% in the second quarter of 2011, research by analyst IDC shows that Apple did not benefit.its share of sales fell from 25% to 21%. Samsung's rose from 2.5% to overtake Apple, with 22%. HTC gained too, rising from 8% to 14%.The east Asia contenders have allied their manufacturing expertise with Google's programming power, using the Californian company's Android operating system in an alliance that has dominated sales of mid range smart phones.

While the iPhone 4S sports many of the features leaked in tech blogs before Tuesday, it lacked the "wow" factor that some were hoping for to sustain the popularity of the brand. In some ways, Apple may have been a victim of past success. Product launches by Jobs, now chairman, had been some of the hottest events on the tech calendar. The iPhone, which accounts for more than 40 percent of Apple's sales, has been a success since it came out in 2007, making Apple one of the world's top electronics companies. Cook said Apple has made significant inroads into the corporate market, with more than 90 percent of Fortune 500 companies testing or using its iPhones and iPads. The news sent shares of Blackberry maker RIM down nearly 3 percent at one point. Google shares finished 1.3 percent higher.

The iPhone 4S will cost $199 with pre-orders starting October 7. Apple also cut the price of the older iPhone 4 to $99, and said an even older "3GS" model will be available for free to customers who sign a long-term contract. That could help Apple expand into developing markets such as Asia, Samsung's backyard. And it might allow Apple to take a bite out of a low-end market it had eschewed. "Apple is hitting Nokia when it's vulnerable. How many billions of people in emerging markets would love to have an iPhone? These are a growing demographic," said YCMNet Advisors CEO Michael Yoshikami. Tuesday's iPhone event took place at Apple Central -- the same venue where the iPod was introduced years ago -- versus the larger, splashier venues of more recent choice, such as downtown San Francisco's Moscone center.

The event, though as usual choreographed to a tee, lacked the oomph and pizzazz of Apple events in years past and sorely missed the star power that Jobs brought to the unveilings. Heading into the event, many on Wall Street had questioned Cook's ability to lead the company as Jobs had. In terms of stage presence, Jobs was a tough act to follow. While it did little to alleviate concerns about whether the company would stay a creative force to be reckoned with without its founder and visionary at the helm, analysts say Tuesday's proceedings hinted at Apple's new team-based approach."What he did is let the team shine through," said Forrester Research analyst Frank Gillett. "What we may see is a somewhat different style, and frankly a healthy style that says: Look, this is a team that works together, there's a deep bench, it's not just one person."

Differences in the quality of the products are beginning to melt away. Microsoft has yet to launch its updated phone operating system, dubbed Mango, in a big way. It is awaiting new handsets from Nokia on which to show it off.

But as an early user, on an HTC handset, I believe it will raise the bar. Jobs used to rightly deride Microsoft products for poor aesthetics and clunky usability. Mango's graphic design, the deep integration of popular tools such as Facebook and Twitter, and its ease of navigation make the iPhone 4 look out of date.Sales of the iPod have already begun a double-digit decline. It is nearing the beginning of the end of its life cycle. Apple sold 20% fewer in its third quarter than in the same period last year.Cannibalising iPod Touch sales with a cheaper smartphone is a risk that must now be taken. While hardcore Apple addicts may be disappointed at the lack of a handset called iPhone 5, Cook has picked the right time to address a wider audience.

Apple Seek Samsung Tablet Ban

Kogan must stop flogging Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 in its home country after Apple threatened to sue it.Apple's pursuit of Samsung and its hardware is well documented and has clocked up a lot of airmiles. In this latest win the fruit themed firm has forced a company that offers its own competing product to stop selling a competitor's product. Something that presumably says a lot about free trade.

A legal dispute between Apple Inc. and Samsung Electronics Co. in Australia intensified Monday, with an attorney representing the maker of the iPad alleging its South Korean rival's product infringes on patents relating to touch-screen technology. The case is part of a global battle between the two companies that began in April, when Apple sued Samsung in California, saying its smartphones and tablets had "slavishly" copied the iPhone and iPad. The companies have since filed suits against one another in Germany, Japan, France and South Korea.

Apple has demanded that the company stop selling and advertising the 10.1in tablet and tell it who it bought them from. Kogan complied with the first demand, but not the latter one, according to the report.that is not to say that it has taken the demands gently, however, and the firm suggested that Apple was using its muscle to stifle competition, something that might prick up some ears with the relevant regulators.

"There is a fine line between legitimately enforcing your intellectual property on the one hand, and just trying to stifle competition on the other - in our view Apple is very precariously walking that line," said David Shafer, Kogan's executive director, in a statement released to the Sydney Morning Herald.

Although the firm thinks it is within its legal rights to offer the tablets to consumers, as it acts as something of a middle man and makes the purchaser the importer, it seems unwilling to get too deep into talks with Apple's lawyers and for now it is taking a softly softly approach to dealing with them."If you decide to pursue the injunction, we will leave these matters to the court and we believe that our case is strong," wrote Shafer in a letter to Apple's Australian lawyers. µ

Samsung Galaxy Tab Takes You Into The Future

The Galaxy Tab is a Tegra 2 tablet with a 10.1 inch screen and a dual core processor. This means that it will be able to run Onlive, the gaming streaming service which just launched for PC, Mac and MicroConsole in the UK this week. To date, Android devices have only a viewer, but there will be a player coming out soon, and that's one thing well worth future-proofing for.Samsung's racing team apparently uses the app to allow them to get more information about the laps that their riders do. I could imagine that working pretty well. I could imagine a powerful (and fast / responsive) tablet serving a vital role for looking up killmails or checking mission guides

There's plenty of other games that would be ideal for the Galaxy Tab too, such as Galaxy on Fire, and EA's HD games (e.g. Need For Speed Shift HD). In addition, most standard Android apps will run on the device. You may not want to take it out with you when you go jogging (so there's no point in having RunKeeper!), but apps such as Skype, a Ventrillo viewer, IRC, Facebook, and EVE Aura are invaluable. If you're looking for a high quality tablet with great screen quality, a fast processor (and gaming capable graphics), and decent battery life, then this is a great time to be getting into the tablet market.
