The fight between the two brothers of same family has once again caught flames. The XP Vs Vista debate is again in the news now not about which one's better but about keeping the old one alive.
Microsoft has announced that it would end selling Windows XP by June of this year. The present users including the die hard fans of XP are not at all happy with it. The icing on the cake was provided by the speculation that Microsoft is thinking to pull off the support for XP too. This has pulled the nerves of the current XP users, business houses and many others who are totally dependent on this most famous child of Windows family.
Many signature campaigns are being started to gather support to force the software giant to reconsider its decision of pulling off the support technology for Windows XP. As it doesn't seem to reconsider its decision of putting an end to XP's sales.
This is going to put a huge effect on Microsoft's Brand good will and might go against Vista!!!

Apple planning IPhone SDK event March 6
Now that's something which was much awaited...finally apple decided to bring up III party softwares to survive in this competitive world. Apple will be planning this event later next week and this is the second out of the two events that it will be hosting the first one being a shareholders meeting.
This move by apple can be a dream come true for developers who were creating applications for IPhone from the very beginning of its entry to the smartphone world.
Developers will either be thrilled, annoyed, or perplexed depending on how Apple decides to define "an advanced and open platform." The company has a few choices: it can allow unfettered access to the iPhone to anyone, it can allow anyone to develop applications for the iPhone but only those applications that have been digitally signed by Apple or a certification authority can be installed on the iPhone, or it can be the sole arbiter over who can create applications and what can be installed on the iPhone. There are also shades of gray within those scenarios, which leads to a lot of speculation on what exactly Apple has in mind.
Apple was considering an application development model used by other members of the smartphone community, notably Nokia. This model would require any application bound for an iPhone to carry a digital certificate that would verify whether the application was created to meet certain standards for security and reliability. In this system, if you tried to install an application on the iPhone, the iPhone's OS X operating system would check for that digital certificate and either allow or prohibit the application from being installed.
I see it a very good move for the future of the phone. This will only improve the quality of service provided by the phone and provide a consumer a better and user friendly product.
What do you say???

LG KU 990 Viewty
After being a relatively bashful brand in the mobile phone segment, LG has seemingly turned its focus on the lifestyle aspect. The Viewty is one such example of the company’s penchant for embellishing its devices. This phone looks very chic, probably in an attempt to take on some high-end lifestyle devices such as the iPhone and the N95.
At 103.5 x 54.4 x 14.8 mm, the phone is thin enough to be able to be pocketed comfortably, and weighs about 112g, which is the only thing that could give away its presence. The Viewty sports a 3-inch wide TFT touchscreen that can show up to 256K colors with a capable resolution of 240 x 400 pixels. Isn’t that cool?
The phone has well-defined contours and is a perfect blend of silver and black. Special care has been taken to keep the face bare by eliminating the need to have buttons, no matter how rudimentary. It has only three keys just below the screen: Call, Cancel and Back.The phone has well-defined contours and is a perfect blend of silver and black. Special care has been taken to keep the face bare by eliminating the need to have buttons, no matter how rudimentary. It has only three keys just below the screen: Call, Cancel and Back.
The right side of the phone has dedicated camera buttons, while the USB, charger, and earphones slot come equipped with a slide shutter on the left. Now, the rear of this baby deserves a special mention. Hugging the camera is a jog dial that's as fashionably insensitive as you can get. I like the idea of having to work up the volume of music or zoom in and out while using the camera using the jog dial, but not at the expense of comfort. The positioning of the jog dial may look cool, but is far from ergonomic, since half of the time your finger will block the lens’ line of vision while using the camera.
There are two things that will make you proud to own this phone: the 5 MP camera and the touchscreen. Speaking of the latter, the whole interface has been designed to allow users to use their fingertips, as in the iPhone. This is good, except the touchscreen isn’t very responsive. If you compare this phone with others in the same price bracket, there is no denying that the Viewty touchscreen takes a beating. A special menu screen can be recalled when needed by swiping your finger on the screen, in an entirely hit-or-miss affair.
The company has included a fat stylus the size of a lipstick. Not cool! While writing a message, if you are intent on using your finger, the on-screen buttons are bigger than usual but requires you to grow your nails for maximum effect. Not a hygienic option though. Having said this, let me just add that messaging on this phone is a painful ordeal.
