Federer's reign under threat

Roger Federer would no longer be the world number 1 if Rafael Nadal wins the tournament. Roger Federrer lost 7-6 (8-6), 4-6, 7-6 (7-5) to Ivo Karlovic in the Cincinnati Masters. The Spaniard took a giant stride in that direction as he overcame Germany’s Tommy Haas 6-4, 7-6 (7-0) in straight sets in the 3rd round. Elsewhere, Novak Djokovic brushed aside Andreas Seppi 6-1, 6-2 in straight sets, while Andy Murray also advanced with an easy 6-3, 6-3 win over Dmitry Tursunov.

English vs Mother-tongue

The root cause of this evil is that the standard of English has fallen in the High School classes ever since the introduction of the mother-tongue as the medium of instruction. Kindly do not misunderstand me. I do not for a moment; suggest that the mother –tongue is unimportant. I realize fully, that the mother-tongue should come first in any scheme of education. What I suggest is nothing more then that the importance and study of the mother –tongue need not—rather should not-result in the neglect of English.

Leaders meet

Several years ago twenty-six of the most eminent citizens of India –including Scientists and Educationists of the first order-addressed an appeal to our beloved late Prime minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, and the then Union Education Minister, the late Moulana Abdulkalam Azad. Entreating them to see that the standard of education in our Universities is not allowed to fall still further. All agreed that the standard has already fallen low and that it should not be allowed to deteriorate further.

Easycar U7 DMB / GPU unit launches in South Korea

We're (so) looking forward to the day when we Americans don't have to look longingly at the amazing navigation units that pop up every month or so in South Korea, but until that fateful day arrives, we'll continue drooling courtesy of the Easycar U7. This screen-dominated conglomerate features a 7-inch LCD, DMB TV tuner, 19-millimeter thick frame and an integrated multimedia player / text viewer. All that for just ₩199,000 ($191)? Nah, we're not envious at all.

Ozmo's WiFi PAN mouse cuts the wires and the Bluetooth

We've never really had anything bad to say about our Bluetooth mouse experience (this week, at least), but Ozmo thinks it can do better. The company has built an optical mouse that connects over low-power WiFI Personal Area Network (PAN) technology. Ozmo has special drivers for the PC to allow it to do concurrent WLAN and WPAN connections, and is compatible with 802.11g and 802.11a. They're also fighting Bluetooth on the audio front with a headset, where we think they might find a more welcome reception -- especially when they get some good stereo headphones on the market. Intel and Ozmo just recently trotted out this WiFI PAN tech a couple of months ago, and what we have here are reference designs for use by OEMs, so no word on commercial availability just yet.

Two mammoth solar plants to generate 800 megawatts in California

It's one thing to see competition unnecessarily push more and more megapixels into palm-sized cameras, but this game of leapfrog is one we can actually get behind. A pair of giant solar plants will soon be installed in San Luis Obispo County in California, covering 12.5 square miles and promising to generate around 800 megawatts of power. OptiSolar will be responsible for laying enough panels to generate 550 megawatts, while SunPower -- the same company associated with the 14 megawatt installation at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada (pictured) -- will provide the other 250. The energy will eventually be sold to Pacific Gas & Electric, though any sort of pricing arrangements are strictly under wraps for now. C'mon Nevada, you gonna let the Golden State do you like that?

RFID-activated retrieval system brings urns up for viewing


This one's a bit morbid, but the technology behind it all is actually quite interesting. Japan's own Nichiryoku has evidently created a unique urn retrieval system that enables family members with deceased loved ones to return to a reverent storage facility, swipe an RFID card, and watch their late mother / father / etc. emerge from the underground for viewing. Aside from saving space and money, this also provides mourning kin with a sense of security, as we're told that the urns are kept where even minor acts of God won't disturb them. Check out a demonstrative video just after the break.

Analyst says first Android phone will ship in November, possibly without Exchange

The HTC Dream may have already cleared the FCC, but at least one analyst that has actually seen the very first Android-based device, Moe Tanabian of IBB Consulting, says that it will only be hitting stores around Thanksgiving in November, and not September or October as many were expecting. He also says that its "unclear" whether the phone will support Microsoft Exchange or not (at least right out of the gate), and that users may have to rely on Gmail if they want to receive push email. Among other tidbits, he also confirms that the device will have access to T-Mobile's own App Store-like service, and that it'll come with Google's advertising software pre-installed, which he says could not only lower the cost of the phone, but allow for lower monthly service fees as well. Of course, you'll have to take that with all the usual analyst caveats for the time being, but we're sure we'll be hearing plenty more to back it up or shoot it down before the September / October / November launch.

Open source license ruled enforceable, hippies rejoice

Good news, open source fans -- copyleft licenses just got a big boost from the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which ruled last week that the open source Artistic License is valid and enforceable, and that violating the terms of the license constitutes copyright infringement. (You might be familiar with the Artistic License -- it's what governs Perl.) That's a big deal, as it's the first open source license to get put to the test -- while traditional EULAs have been upheld for years, open licenses hadn't been directly litigated like this yet, and it means that similar licenses like the GPL and Creative Commons now stand on firmer ground. As you'd expect, OSS advocates like Lawrence Lessig and the Open Source Initiative are all pretty pumped about the ruling, with Lessig calling it "huge and important news." We'd agree wholeheartedly, but here's some food for thought while you celebrate in the comments: if you're okay with FOSS software developers enforcing open-source license agreements, are you also okay with commercial software developers enforcing their own EULA restrictions? We can think of one in particular that seems to have people pretty ticked off.

Popcorn Hour's A-110 HD media streamer / B-110 motherboard reviewed

If you've been putting off that purchase of Popcorn Hour's evolutionary A-110 HD media streamer or all new B-110 motherboard, here's a decent compilation of facts and opinions to help you make up your mind once and for all. The cats over at DigitalReviews took the time to not only detail, test out and report back on the newest duo from the company, but it also revisited the original (and heralded) A-100 in order to give a better comparison. Overall, critics did tend to prefer the A-110 over its predecessor, but the minor list of changes made it a hard sell for folks teetering on upgrading. The B-110 was seen as an even tougher sell, with only the hardcore DIY crowd likely to even find it worth investigating. Nevertheless, we won't spoil the rest for you -- head on down to have a look for yourself.

Xbox 360 leaps past PS3 in weekly Japanese console sales

It looks like the week ending August 10th brought a bit of a surprise to the sometimes predictable Japanese hardware sales charts, as the just released numbers have now revealed that the Xbox 360 has shot past the PlayStation 3, and by a wide margin no less. All told, Microsoft moved some 24,962 units during the week, compared to just 9,673 PS3s sold -- a number that, by all accounts, is largely due to the release of the 360-exclusive Tales of Vesperia game, which itself sold over 100,000 copies. That still leaves the Xbox 360 well behind the Wii, however, with it moving an impressive 38,506 units during the same time period, although that was a dip of more than 6% from the previous week. In related news, the DS Lite regained its slight lead over the PSP, with it moving 60,434 units compared to the PSP's 58,501, and Joystiq took a not-to-be-missed dip into the Bizarro world for it's always insightful account of the week's events -- you can check it out at the link below.

A wise Saying-Too much of anything is poisonous (Part 2)

But the pain given by such a love is tremendous for the human beings to handle when there is a disparity in the thing which they have got and the thing which they loved so much. Never expect things, expectation is the main reason for a disappoinment and contributes mainly in the break up of human relations. Its my opinion not to expect anything from anyone. So many people feel that love hurts, but its not the love which hurts human sentiments it’s the expectations that hurts. So never feel bad or be afraid to love but never expect things from the other person instead try to fulfill the expectations of the other person.

A wise Saying-Too Much of anything is poisonous (Part 1)

Always u would have a feeling of desire in you, though you might be complacent with something, you tend to desire more for the things which you keep in your heart. This passage is not to tell you that it’s bad to desire for things. You should love and desire for something, this is what has kept the world on the move for many years. If human beings stop loving, then it will be the end of the world.
