Intel looks beyond PCs, eyes new segments

The future is in personal computing, not just personal computers, according to Intel CEO Paul Otellini who said his company wasbetting on new market segments such as netbooks, handhelds and consumer electronics to drive growth with PC sales likely to be “flat or slightly up” this year.

Intel, whose range of microprocessors power almost 80% of computers worldwide, also announced that it

has built working chips that pack 2.9 billion transistors in an area the size of a finger nail.

Delivering his keynote at the Intel Developers’ Forum 2009, Mr Otellini also launched an Intel Atom Developer Programme inviting third party programmers to create new programs for its Atom line of microprocessors. Atom powers net books — bare-bone PCs with small screens for net surfing and word processing — a segment, which Mr Otellini said was holding up the whole computer market now.

“We have the worst recession in 70 years. The netbook filled the gap,” he said, adding that Atom will eventually cover connected devices. “At the highest level, every electronic device is likely to be connected to the Internet at some point in time. And we think the architecture to do this, obviously, is Atom,” he said.

Netbooks outpaced the two other popular devices in the consumer market — Apple’s iPhone and the Nintendos gaming console Wii — in the past three quarters, he added. In-vehicle infotainment systems, which clocked a 17% growth rate in the year when the automotive industry slipped to a recession, are another growth area for Intel.

Mr Otellini said that a company that Intel has been working with over three years, Harman Becker, has secured two major design contracts for Atom-based systems. “Daimler will put it into their S-Class and C-Class series starting in 2012, and BMW is developing a cross-platform, which means it goes across all their models, as an option for 2012 and beyond,” the Intel CEO said.

Intel has also begun factory production of its 32 nanometre chip, and the latest one — the 22nm one — continues to deliver the promise of Moore’s Law: smaller transistors, improved performance and lower cost, said Sean Maloney, Intel’s executive vice-president.

“The rapidly increasing number of transistors and processor instructions we add have made possible the integration of more and more capabilities and features within our processors. This has driven an incredible amount of innovation throughout the industry, with the real winners being the consumers, gamers and businesses,” he said.

AMD touts its graphics physics engine

AMD HAS BEGUN a campaign to step up the adoption of a new physics engine. The company is working with software developer Pixelux Entertainment to sell developers on a combination of the Bullet Physics engine and OpenCL processing.

AMD said that the campaign would seek to grow the use of the platform for applications such as gaming and simulations. The companies hope that, by combining the open-source Bullet engine with the OpenCL GPU standard, developers will have a more powerful and effective way to run physics simulations.

Additionally, AMD hopes to allow the adoption of a physics engine which can be taken advantage of by all graphics cards.

In announcing the initiative, AMD chief graphics technology officer Eric Demers took a swipe at rival Nvidia and its proprietary PhysX engine.

"Proprietary physics solutions divide consumers and independent software vendors, while stifling true innovation. Our competitors even develop code that they themselves admit will not work on hardware other than theirs," he said.

"By working with Pixelux and others to enable open support of physics on OpenCL and DirectX 11 capable devices, we are taking the exact opposite approach."

Former AMD kingpin gives Intel hell

AMD's former CEO Hector Ruiz has released a commentary that picks apart Intel's defense against the European Commission's €1.06bn fine for anticompetitve practices.

Ruiz's scathing rebuke, published by MarketWatch, excoriates Chipzilla's efforts to wriggle out of responsibility for the actions that led to the fine - especially in light of the incriminating evidence recently released by the European Competition Commission.

In his commentary, entitled "Intel and the blame game: Time to take responsibility in chip-industry antitrust case," Ruiz writes: "Intel has apparently embraced the advice dispensed by the playwright Oscar Wilde: 'It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you place the blame.'"

Ruiz's argument takes several tacks, chiding Intel for its charges of Commission bias, scolding the company for suppressing evidence, reproving them for disparaging critics - "a typical monopolist defense" according to Ruiz - and saying that Intel's blaming of AMD for its European sales problems "really does twist reality into a pretzel."

Not that Ruiz is without bias. After assuming the positions of president and COO of AMD in 2000, he became CEO in 2002 and headed the company until he stepped aside in 2008.

And he has called Intel to task before, as evidenced by his statement in 2007 when the EU began its investigation of Intel that "This is not an isolated instance," citing similar investigations in Japan and Korea.

Still, Ruiz holds out an olive branch at the end of Wednesday's dressing-down of his former competitor: "Intel has been a global innovation leader in the past," he concedes. "It can be a global innovation leader in the future - but not until Intel's leadership recognizes a simple truth."

That simple truth, from Ruiz's point of view, is that Intel should take responsibility for its actions, and move on.

"The sooner Intel accepts a level of responsibility befitting a company of its scope, legacy and stature," Ruiz writes, "and takes responsibility for its own errors, the sooner that the full benefits of competition will flow, not just to the industry, and not even just to computer manufacturers, but to computer users the world around."

AMD Unveils Powerful New Graphics Cards

AMD on Wednesday unveiled the ATI Radeon HD 5800 series, graphics cards that boast up to 2.72 teraflops of computer power.
The series will initially debut with two cards: the ATI Radeon HD 5870 and the ATI Radeon HD 5850, both of which include 1 G-byte of graphics double data rate version 5 (GDDR5) memory and support for OpenCL.

This type of computing power has prompted AMD to refer to the 5800 series as the "most powerful processor ever created," though AMD acknowledges that teraflops are "not necessarily an indicator of leading performance in every application."

The ATI Radeon HD 5800 is the first to support Microsoft DirectX 11, the new gaming and compute standard that will ship with Windows 7. It will also support DirectX 9, DirectX 10, DirectX 10.1, and OpenGL titles in single card configurations or multi-card configurations using ATI CrossFireX technology.

"When measured in terms of game performance experienced in some of today's most popular games, the ATI Radeon HD 5800 series is up to twice as fast as the closest competing product in its class," AMD said in a statement.

The 5800 series allows for multi-monitor gaming at up to 12 x full HD resolution. The HD 5870 and HD 5850 will allow up to three displays, and the forthcoming ATI Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity6 graphics card will allow for six.

Intel UrbanMax

UrbanMax is a mobile computer prototype measuring just 1 inch thick, looking like a tablet PC but with a sliding keyboard and a 11.1-inch touch-sensitive wide display that tilts up to a laptop screen level.

It will feature the N-trig's DuoSense digitizer technology, characterized by a battery-free pen, 0 pressure capacitive touch, multi-touch functionality, and low power consumption.
"N-trig's DuoSense technology allows OEMs and ODMs to produce innovative new mobile and wireless computing devices that are not currently available on the market today," said Amihai Ben-David, CEO of N-trig. "We are excited to be collaborating with Intel and other Tier 1 players who are recognizing our breakthrough and innovative technology."

The touch and pen digitizer is located in front of any size LCD display, and is thin, lightweight and transparent, supporting Windows XP Tablet and Windows Vista operating systems support, with on-board upgradeable firmware. N-trig created the battery-free electrostatic stylus providing the power source from the magnetic energy produced by the excitation coil located in the digitizer, while the user can access the tablet either using finger touch or this stylus. The surface is a capacitive sensing system featuring fast response time, drag and drop, scroll, flicks and select.

 

The precise input is accomplished using palm rejection capability, which differentiates between unwanted contact and intentional input.
You can also use multiple fingers to manipulate files, thanks to the multi-touch support, which allows for zooming, panning, rotate and double-tap via the Hands-on Gestures technology.

Convertible Intel Classmate PC Mini Notebook Computer

Intel introduced its new Classmate PC design featuring convertible a display system that allows the user to turn the mini notebook computer into a tablet PC.

The new convertible Classmate PC model running with the low-power consuming Intel Atom processing technology is destined to the learning sector, specifically to primary school students, and brings a touch-sensitive user interface, the 180-degree swivel display and a rotational camera, while included in the Intel Learning Series, a new initiative gathering hardware, software and different services meant to improve the education in the emerging markets.

The previous version of the Classmate PC with clamshell-style design is currently used in the Magellan Initiative in Portugal for elementary school children, but Intel arranged to bring out a new design of the Magellan PC with enhanced reading and writing capabilities, larger display, more system memory and powerful high-speed Internet connectivity technologies such as 3G and WiMAX.

“Education is one of the best ways to improve the future for individuals, villages, or nations,” said Lila Ibrahim, general manager of the Intel Emerging Markets Platform Group, which developed the classmate PC reference design based on ethnographic research and supports the Intel Learning Series. “There are 1.3 billion school-age children around the world and of those only 5 percent have access to a PC or the Internet.

The IT industry has a huge opportunity to contribute to how technology can improve students’ learning and students’ lives. With our announcement today, Intel continues its long-standing commitment to advancing education through technology to transform lives around the world.”

Microsoft's Project Pink finally bearing fruit in 2010 with two self-branded phones?

The concept of a self-branded Microsoft phone (or two) actually making it to market is more believable than ever. A deterrent frequently cited in years past was Microsoft's vested interest in keeping its Windows Mobile hardware partners happy -- but as even their staunchest supporters (think HTC and LG) have turned to Android to shore up their smartphone lineups, it'd be far less of a backstabbing move on Redmond's part to get into the business next year than it would've been in, say, 2006 or even 2008.

Add in the fact that the Zune HD shares 99 percent of its DNA with what could be a top-notch Windows Mobile-beating smartphone, and... well, it'd actually be a little ridiculous at this point if they didn't move in that direction, wouldn't it?

This discussion takes us back once again to Project Pink, the oft-rumored secret package of hardware, software, and services (or some combination thereof) allegedly being developed deep within Microsoft's skunkworks. Last we'd heard it'd be based on Windows Mobile 7 Chassis 1 with a heavy dose of 2009-spec components capable of chewing through processor-intensive apps and games, and now 9to5Mac says it's received information that Microsoft will be releasing two Pink devices next year, likely at CES.

We've heard for a long time that Pink is one of the fruits (perhaps the only fruit?) of the company's Danger acquisition, and to that end, the Pink devices will apparently be sourced from Sharp -- Danger's primary Hiptop ODM, up to and including the Sidekick LX 2009 -- and will feature "Microsoft+Sharp" co-branding, not unlike Garmin Asus.

The handsets are said to be codenamed "Turtle" and "Pure," both sliders of some sort with Pure possibly destined for Verizon. As you might expect from a product developed with Danger, it'll feature tight app store support with carrier integration, but otherwise, there's nothing else to this latest noise.

Considering Danger's utter lack of experience with Windows Mobile, that could account for the amount of time it's taking for Microsoft to show its Pink cards -- assuming it's all WinMo- or WinCE-based to begin with. That would also imply that the company would have to start revealing details on its primary next-gen mobile platform in January, which gives 6.5 extraordinarily little breathing room at the top of the food chain.

Of course, 9to5Mac isn't exactly a bastion of reliable Microsoft banter -- we turn to the likes of Mary Jo Foley for that, who's been providing much of the guidance on Pink so far -- but it's an interesting rumor that we think holds far more water than The Inquirer's bunk piece from a little under a year ago. Let's not forget that Danger has a history of procuring its own hardware, and that precedent has transferred to Microsoft by virtue of the purchase. If we see Microsoft+Sharp gear with GSM radios bow in a little over three months, you won't find our jaws on the floor.

Intel CULV Initiative

If you're not much into hardware, then let me tell you a very simple thing - as lower the voltage needed by a certain chip, the lower its temperature. When overclocking processors, increasing voltage is the last thing to do to ensure the system works properly, but considering the small chips used these days in notebooks, and the fact that most of us have more computing power than needed on the road, we need even lower voltage chips to get things right.

 

According to various sources, Intel's Consumer Ultra Low-Voltage (CULV) initiative will have as leaders two of the largest PC makers,probably Dell and HP, both expected to come up with tiny notebooks with screens between 11 and 13 inches, sometime during this summer.
These sources also claim that Acer and ASUS should be hurt by these new releases, since they have a solid percentage of their income coming from that part of the market. Now, I only ask myself how similar to the ASUS Eee PC will be those new notebooks? The reason is obvious - you want to win a game, you have to play by its rules, and in the UMPC market, ASUS is the main player, as well as the one setting the rules.

What To Do If Your AdSense Account Gets Closed

 

Google’s court of appeal. You don’t want to come here. Most of the mistake people make at AdSense hit them in the wallet. Some mistakes though can hit where it really hurts and get your account closed. So what should you do if you get that dreaded email from AdSense informing you that your account has been shut down? Well, the first thing to remember is that you’ve pretty much got no power at all. Google’s Terms make it very clear that they have the right to kick someone out of their program whenever they feel like it and you have to prove your innocence.

But the people at Google aren’t a nasty bunch and they will listen to you if you feel you’ve been hard done by. Your first step then should be to send them an email asking why you’ve been banned.

The most likely reason will be invalid clicks. That might not mean that you’ve accidentally clicked your own ads. Google accepts that accidents do happen and takes occasional clicks like these into account. They’ll show up as clicks in your stats but you won’t earn revenue from them. Nor do you need to inform them every time your cursor accidentally lands on one of your ads. But if it’s more than occasional, you could be in trouble. It’s possible that someone else might have been clicking ads on your site repeatedly — perhaps a competitor hoping to hit your earnings or a family member who didn’t know it was forbidden.

It’s also possible that someone has stolen your AdSense code and placed it on their own site. It sounds strange, but publishers have been concerned about this so Google now lets you create a list of Allowed Sites. Only those click on those sites will count towards your income. And at least one publisher has been banned because the previous owner of the domain had clicked his own ads before the domain was sold.

Whatever the reason, the next step is to appeal. Google has an official appeal form. It’s available at        

Re-appeal form(click the link for re-appeal form)

Be sure to fill in all the fields in the form and provide as much information as possible. Be polite. Remember, Google’s system has detected a strange pattern in your click rate and is acting to protect its advertisers from paying for nothing. When advertisers start to feel that Google isn’t looking after their budget, none of us will make money. If Google has made a mistake, you want to help the company correct it, not annoy it so much it won’t want you back.

Someone will read your form, and you want to stay on that person’s good side. Provide proof of your innocence if you can and show that you’re genuinely trying to help them get to the bottom of the problem. If you spotted a click spike in your stats, tell them when you saw it and what you think might have caused it — if you have any suspicions. If you happen to know the IP address of the source of the multiple clicks, block it, supply it to Google and tell them you’ve blocked it.

And remind Google that you think its service is great and that you’d like to keep using it. There are plenty of stories around about publishers who got banned but were reinstated after appeal. If you can produce a good explanation of the events that led to your site being banned, there’s a good chance that you’ll be allowed back in. And if all else fails and you find yourself cut off, there’s always Yahoo! Publisher Network combined with Chitika and Kontera ads. It’s unlikely you’ll make as much as you did with AdSense, but you will still make something.

Y.S.R. Reddy buried, succession battle heats up

Tens of thousands of mourners shouted slogans and broke police barricades on Friday to catch a final glimpse of Y.S.R. Reddy, whose death has sparked a succession battle in Andhra Pradesh.

Y.S.R. Reddy who helped engineer the Congress party-led coalition's victory in a general election in May, was killed in a helicopter crash earlier this week, potentially weakening the party in Andhra Pradesh.

K. Rosaiah, the finance minister, was sworn in as caretaker chief minister until the party chooses a new leader, with several lawmakers favouring Reddy's son Jaganmohan, a first-term member of parliament from Reddy's home district of Kadapa.

A text message campaign, "Jagan as CM", is doing the rounds in the state, which has other contenders for the powerful post.

Schools and offices were shut and flags flew at half mast in Andhra Pradesh, where Congress leaders including Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, party president Sonia Gandhi as well as leaders of the opposition paid their respects to "YSR", as he was known.

Thousands of mourners packed into a stadium in Hyderabad where Reddy's body was kept before it was flown in an army helicopter to his hometown Pulivendula for the burial on his family estate, beside his parents.

Reddy, who was known for championing popular causes and wooing investors, was given a state funeral, with Christian priests administering final rites.

Police beat back thousands of mourners holding aloft portraits and wreaths and shouting slogans of "Long Live YSR", as they broke past barricades to get closer to the coffin.

The cause of the helicopter crash, which killed all five on board in forested hills on Wednesday, has not been established.

India's swine flu deaths jump to 116

Five people died of swine flu in India Friday, taking the toll due to influenza A (H1N1) virus to 116, health authorities said here.

While four deaths were reported from Bangalore, Karnataka, one person died in Ahmedabad, Gujarat.

Also during the day, 124 fresh cases were reported in the country, taking the total number of affected people to 4,488.

According to health authorities in Karnataka, the four deaths have taken the toll due to the H1N1 virus to 35 in the state.

A 38-year-old woman died at a government hospital Tuesday. Three men aged 27, 41 and 31 years died Wednesday, Sunday and Tuesday respectively.

However, their test reports arrived only Thursday, a health official said in Bangalore.

According to the health ministry, most fresh cases Friday were reported from Tamil Nadu where 33 people tested positive.

Maharashtra, which tops the chart with the maximum swine flu deaths and cases in the country, reported 21 new cases, taking the total cases in the state so far to 1,759.

In the national capital, 50 swine flu cases, including 24 children, were reported, taking its total number of Influenza A (H1N1) cases to 772. However, the health ministry said only 15 cases were reported from the national capital.

One patient was serious and under ventilation at the Ram Manohar Lohia (RML) Hospital here, officials said.

According to the state health ministry, of the fresh cases 15 have been admitted to various designated hospitals and the rest 35 are home-quarantined.

'These 50 identified cases include 24 cases of children. One male patient is critical in the RML Hospital and is on dialysis and on the ventilator,' Delhi Health Minister Kiran Walia said.

She said that till date 772 cases have been reported in the city, of which 681 cases have been treated and discharged.

Walia also said that the situation is under control and the government is doing its best in providing treatment to swine flu patients in government hospitals.

She advised people to visit the doctor at the earliest in case they exhibit any symptom of swine flu.

Fresh cases were also reported from

Uttar Pradesh (30), Kerala (2), Haryana (1), Goa (1), West Bengal (1), Uttarakhand (1) and

Jammu and Kashmir (1).

Nano under the neem tree

Off the neglected, serpentine roads of Nakhrola village in Gurgaon district sits Satish Kumar's home. Around it lie his five acres of lush fields sown with til (sesame), arhar (lentils) and bajra (millets).

His two cows and their calves, tied to a post behind his house, yawn occasionally as they chomp on a pile of straw. And beneath the old neem tree in Satish Kumar's compound rests his gleaming silver Nano, the first to hit the road in north India.

In Nakhrola, Kumar is known simply as 'the man with the Nano'. On July 18, the day his Nano was delivered, it was celebration all the way.

"There were drums and dancing all around, all night long," remembers Kumar's wife Saroj (33). His mother Indira Devi (55) tells of how the rest of the village collected outside their home and everyone wanted to drive the car.

In a district where 33 per cent of the population is illiterate, Kumar became a celebrity overnight. Journalists from India and abroad descended on Nakhrola, followed the family all the way from the car showroom and spent the day with them.

Some Japanese reporters even camped for two days in his two-bedroom house. And, says Saroj, "When we drove to our temple in Manesar, the whole village followed us.

" But he does let his friends borrow the car. "Every day, someone or the other comes and asks for the keys," he says.

"Everyone here loves the Nano.".

India Loses Communication With Lunar Satellite

India's national space agency said communications with the country's only satellite orbiting the moon snapped Saturday and that its scientists were no longer controlling the spacecraft.

Radio contacts with Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft were abruptly lost at 0130 Saturday (2000 GMT Friday), the Indian Space Research Organization said.

The agency's monitoring unit near the southern city of Bangalore is no longer receiving data from the spacecraft, spokesman S. Satish told The Associated Press by telephone from Bangalore.

The spacecraft had completed 312 days in orbit and orbited the moon more than 3,400 times.

"We are studying the telemetry data and trying to figure out what is the problem," Satish said. The space agency had received a large volume of data from the spacecraft — which is slotted in an automatic orbit of the moon — and most of the scientific objectives of the mission had been met, he said.

The spacecraft had been controlled from a monitoring center at Byalalu, 18 miles (30 kilometers) southwest of Bangalore, sending it commands to change direction, speed and to focus the cameras. Satish said it was no longer receiving commands.

The launch of Chandrayaan-1 in October 2008 put India in an elite club of countries with moon missions. Other countries with similar satellites are the United States, Russia, the European Space Agency, Japan and China.

The US$80 million lunar spacecraft has had problems earlier too. In May, the satellite lost a critical instrument called the star sensor. Two months later, it overheated but scientists were able to salvage the craft and resume normal operations.

The spacecraft had completed around 95 per cent of the two-year mission's objectives, Satish said Saturday.

Scientists say the Chandrayaan project will boost India's capacity to build more efficient rockets and satellites, especially through miniaturization, and open research avenues for young Indian scientists.

Powerful Indian Politician Killed in Chopper Crash

Rescuers retrieved the bodies Thursday of a powerful Indian politician and four others whose helicopter crashed in dense jungles during a pounding rainstorm.

The helicopter carrying Andhra Pradesh state Chief Minister Y.S.R. Reddy lost contact with air traffic controllers Wednesday morning, setting off a frantic 24-hour search operation involving the army, air force and police in a stronghold of Maoist rebels.

On Thursday morning, air force helicopters found the crash site by tracking a mobile phone signal picked up after an SMS was sent at midday Wednesday to Reddy's bodyguard, who was also on the helicopter, Press Trust of India news agency reported, quoting an unidentified government official. It was not clear why the signal coordinates had not been traced the day before.

Rescuers finally reached the scene after hacking through hilly jungle. They found the mangled remains of the chopper and charred bodies of all five people on board. Reddy, 60, was accompanied by the bodyguard, an aide and two pilots.

The bodies were flown to the Andhra Pradesh capital, Hyderabad, and a state funeral was planned for Friday, Home Minister P. Chidambaram said.

Officials have yet to establish the cause, but say the privately owned chopper likely crashed because of bad weather. It lost contact with air traffic controllers about 45 minutes into the flight after taking off from Hyderabad.

"We are in deep mourning. We have a deep sense of grief, shock and loss at the passing away of the chief minister, and a tall leader of the Congress Party," Chidambaram told reporters in New Delhi, referring to the ruling party.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh praised the regional leader's commitment to the people of Andhra Pradesh, and his Cabinet described Reddy as "an eminent political leader, a farsighted statesman and an astute administrator."

Congress Party chief Sonia Gandhi said Reddy was a "man of vision and dynamism."

Mourners pay last respect as YSR's body reaches hometown

The body of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy was flown on Friday afternoon to Pulivendula, his native town in Kadapa district, for burial.

The body was flown in an army helicopter from Begumpet airport here after thousands of people paid their last respects at the Lal Bahadur Stadium in the state capital.

YSR, who died in a chopper crash Wednesday, will be laid to rest at the family estate Edupulapaya in Pulivendula town by the side of his parents.

A stampede at the stadium forced authorities to move the body to the airport an hour before schedule. Police failed to control the surging mourners, who broke barricades at several points to rush towards the body kept on a pedestal in the middle of the ground.

Several people were injured, some of them seriously, as police used force to control the crowds. As the situation was going out of control, the late leader's son Y S Jaganmohan Reddy had a word with military and police officers to shift the body to the airport.

67 die after YSR's death, bereaved son appeals for patience

More than 60 people across Andhra Pradesh have died of shock or committed suicide after the death of their chief minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy, prompting his MP son Y S Jagannathan Reddy to appeal to his late father's admirers to be patient and brave.

"I appeal to all of you to be patient and be brave in this hour of tragedy. He (YSR) wanted to see a smile on the faces of all and if you resort to such things (suicide) this will hurt him," said Jaganmohan, trying to hard to control his tears.

"I request you not to commit suicide," said Jaganmohan, who was elected to Lok Sabha from Kadapa in recent elections and is being seen by many as the next chief minister.

The appeal before the camera was telecast on all Telugu television channels.

Telugu television channels estimated that 67 people died of shock on hearing the news of their leader's death in a horrific air crash Thursday or committed suicide, unable to bear the loss. Most of those who died of shock were watching news of YSR's death on television.

This is the first time in the state's history that such a large number of people have died over the death of any political leader.

YSR, as the late leader was popularly known, has surpassed in death the popularity of actor and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) founder N.T. Rama Rao who died in 1996.

A large number of those who died of shock included young supporters of YSR and the beneficiaries of the various welfare schemes launched by him in the last five years. They suffered a cardiac arrest following the news of the chief minister's death in the helicopter crash.

The deaths were reported from 19 out of 23 districts in the state. In the coastal district of West Godavari, six people died of shock and four committed suicide.

"YSR dedicated his life to people, I am dedicating my life to him," a youth wrote in his suicide note before consuming pesticide.

A physically handicapped couple, who were getting monthly pension under a welfare scheme, attempted suicide by jumping into the Godavari river but were saved by fishermen.

In Hyderabad, 42-year-old Yadgiri died of shock while watching news of YSR's death on television. M Srinivas, 30, suffered cardiac arrest.

YSR's last journey begins

The funeral procession of former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy, who was killed in a helicopter crash, has begun. The public will pay last respect to him at Lal Bahadur Shastri stadium before the state funeral takes place at 5.00pm today at Kadappa.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Congress chief Sonia Gandhi and a host of party leaders today paid homage to Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YSR Reddy this morning.

The Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, Defence Minister A K Antony and Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dixit placed wreaths on Reddy's body at the Chief Minister's Camp office in Begumpet area.

The leaders also wrote condolence messages at the camp office. The leaders arrived here early this morning by a special flight..

Andhra cabinet wants YSR's son as next chief minister

Within hours of the death of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy in a helicopter crash, the state cabinet passed a resolution urging the Congress party's central leadership to make his son Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy the next chief minister.

The cabinet meeting, presided over by caretaker Chief Minister K. Rosaiah, passed the resolution demanding that Kadapa MP Jaganmohan Reddy be named successor to his father.

Ministers loyal to Rajasekhara Reddy were unanimous that the young MP should be made the next chief minster. This will be a real tribute to YSR, said minister of health D. Nagender.

The resolution was passed amid reports that over 100 legislators of the ruling party are supporting the demand. The legislators also met Union Minister for law and incharge of party affairs in the state M. Veerappa Moily to submit a memorandum.

Some Congress legislators also met Praja Rajyam Party president K. Chiranjeevi to request him to support Jaganmohan Reddy's candidature.

The Congress party has 155 members in the 294-member assembly.

A group of MPs also held a meeting here and decided to place their demand before Congress president Sonia Gandhi.

According to sources in the ruling party, the legislators have launched a campaign to demand that Jaganmohan be appointed the chief minister.

Jaganmohan's loyalists among party workers too have launched a campaign in this regard. Some workers sitting outside Gandhi Bhavan, the party headquarters in the city, said they would not accept anybody other than YSR's son to head the state government.

'When Indira Gandhi expired Rajiv Gandhi was made the prime minister. Why not Jagan be made chief minister now?' says an SMS message being circulated by Jaganmohan's followers.

Jaganmohan, an industrialist who runs the Sakshi daily and a television channel, was elected from Kadapa Lok Sabha constituency in the April-May elections.

YSR was killed in a chopper crash while travelling to Chittoor from Hyderabad in inclement weather Wednesday. The mangled remains of the helicopter and the bodies of the chief minister and four others accompanying him were located Thursday morning in the Nallamalla jungles.

AMD versus INTEL-CPU War

If you are in the market to purchase a computer there are many options in existence. You can purchase a Hewlett Packard, Gateway, IBM, or a custom built system. But there is one thing that all of these computers will utilize and that is a CPU (central processing unit). The CPU is responsible for interpreting and executing instructions for the motherboard. CPU's are key to the functioning of your new computer. CPU's from Intel and AMD power virtually every personal computer that you can purchase today.

The argument over an AMD CPU versus an Intel CPU and which has a higher functionality is currently raging. Simply two years ago this was not even a question. Anyone would tell you that the Intel CPU won the speed and complex algorithm war with AMD CPU's without question. Fast-forward to today and Intel is now playing catch-up to the latest in AMD technologies.

 

Intel played marketing games with their CPU's pricing them high and touting the functionality that they posses as cutting edge. AMD started out as the cheap alternative CPU manufacturer for computer brands such as e-Machines and low-end Compaqs. From the beginning, AMD CPU's were fighting an uphill battle to catch up with the technology in the Intel CPU. As the years have progressed, AMD has progressed.

AMD now clearly leads in the consumer pricing wars. AMD CPU equipped machines with similar performance specifications will cost you hundreds of dollars less than equivalent Intel CPU based machines. This cost differential is now enough to push many Intel CPU customers to the upstart AMD CPU equipped machines.
If performance is the main concern over price, the AMD CPU line was the first to include 64 bit technology. In 2003 AMD pushed the first 64 bit CPU to market. It was unstable and unreliable at first. But the underlying architecture was sound. The AMD 64 bit CPU was soon running stable and fast. The performance of this AMD CPU caught the Intel CPU team off guard.

Intel had to rush to market their EMT64 CPU to compete with this upstart challenge from AMD. The next item on the board was dual CPU power. Again, AMD one-upped the Intel CPU rule.

AMD CPU's have the information transfer on a dual chip machine flowing through the chips. The Intel dual CPU has a bridge to the motherboard where the information that is being processed by the dual CPU's flows for splitting.

The internal data flow in the AMD CPU's allows them to function with lower heat generation than the dual core Intel CPU's. As a consumer this lower heat generation allows the AMD CPU to last longer than the Intel CPU.

If you are energy conscious, then the AMD CPU will be for you as well. The AMD CPU equipped motherboard will function with approximately 275 watts of power. Compare that to a similarly equipped Intel processor at 400 watts of power, and you have major energy savings by going to the AMD CPU.

So where do the Intel CPU's win out over the AMD CPU's? The Intel CPU's are able to function faster with single programs. So, if you are going to play one game and only that game on your machine, the Intel CPU equipped machine can pull and analyze the data faster. However add in chat and e-mail running in the background and the AMD CPU machine catches up.

All in all, the CPU processor war that is currently waging between AMD and Intel is great for the consumer. Each company is in the middle of a CPU processor one-upmanship and both are looking to gain market share.

The Best Way To Learn Forex Trading | Forex Courses

There are many aspects involved while learning how to trade Forex, which is the business of purchasing and selling foreign currencies for profit. If you are careful to follow all of the guidelines laid out by the experts, you will likely find yourself in a favorable position within the least amount of time possible. On the opposite end of this principle is a strong recommendation against rushing into Forex trading without being well prepared.

First of all, Forex should be regarded as a personal business venture as opposed to a game or gamble. Your competition in the foreign exchange industry includes international banks, leading corporations, and reputable investors among the several thousand experienced home based traders. When entering such a highly competitive trade, it is advised you consistently maintain a business like attitude when making any decisions.

One huge mistake people make when trading Forex is blaming the markets for big losses. The uncertainty involved in this business is what makes it so lucrative and worthwhile, so it is up to you to be fully responsible for the outcome of your trades. This way, you will always feel you have control over fixing your mistakes rather than rendering yourself a helpless victim of a bad market.

It is also critical for Forex traders to be extremely organized. Don't do anything without documenting it and furthermore don't make any moves that you aren't fully prepared to make. Figure out a system and stick with it.

Regardless of whether or not you are a technical or fundamental trader, documenting your trades is essential to maintaining and increasing your rate of success as a Forex trader. It is all too common for new traders to begin working without keeping track of their results, which is exactly what you shouldn't do if you want to surpass the guessing games into informed trading decisions.

You may think that, with all of the scams and false information out there, it is impossible to learn to trade Forex any way but by self conducted research. While there is some merit to this belief, it could be extremely time consuming sifting through all of the available resources and eliminating that which is false, usually by way of trial and error.

There is so much literature and information regarding Forex available that it is not necessary to take the challenging route of learning everything on your own. In addition to the infinite resources available, you should also be weary of the increasing amount of Forex misinformation that circulates. Most of this false information revolves around Forex being a huge money maker requiring little to no effort. The very opposite is true. If you want the most relevant knowledge possible, your best option is hands on training by a professional trader.

It is always a good idea to keep track of how much you are putting into your Forex business compared to the profits you're making. Often, new traders spend hundreds and hundreds on software and other products and services and are thrilled to make a successful trade as a result, but what they have yet to realize is they are still in the negative! The safest investment to make in Forex (meaning it is most likely to increase your trading success rate) would be those made into your own personal knowledge.
