No More Funny Names on Facebook!!!!

Facebook wants nothing to do with fake profiles or accounts created using made-up names. To that end, it'll boot profiles it deems suspicious. That's a problem for individuals with unusual names, some of whom say they've been cut off from Facebook without warning simply because the site suddenly concluded they were not real people.

Facebook's effort to purge its site of fake accounts, in the process knocking out some real people with unusual names, marks yet another challenge for the 5-year-old social network.
As Facebook becomes a bigger part of the lives of its more than 200 million users, the Palo Alto, Calif.-based company is finding that the huge diversity and the vast size of its audience are making it increasingly difficult to enforce rules it set when its membership was smaller and more homogenous.
Having grown from a closed network available only to college students to a global social hub used by multiple generations, Facebook has worked over the years to shape its guidelines and features to fit its changing audience. However, requiring people to sign up under their real name is part of what makes Facebook Facebook.
Facebook is available in more than 40 languages -- and growing -- and its user base is larger than Brazil's population.

However, financially it is still a startup.

Windows 7 RC........Ready to Cook

Guys finally itz BYE BYE to beta and helloo to RC1.On 5th may MS Published Windows 7 RC for general public,but thazz not the real news
The real news is that its free for 1 year.Hoooraaay
If you have used the Beta Version then surely you will like RC1 as it has a better UI and is lil faster than the Beta Version.The ShutDown,Restart, and Hibernation time is almost the same!!!There are a lot of other changes after beta

1. Windows Flip (ALT + TAB) with Aero Peek
The thumbnails look/behave the same way as the taskbar thumbnails when you hover the mouse over them. It seems logical that they would exhibit the peek behavior, tooOne can still quickly flip between and cycle through running windows using the ALT+TAB keys, but when more window information is needed Aero Peek will appear. This is triggered by a time delay as you pause while keyboarding through running windows.











2. Internet access Icon
The new network experience from the taskbar’s notification area makes it much easier to find and connect to networks. The Indications were removed for some advanced scenarios. A new overlay icon has also been introduced to indicate a local connection without internet access
3. Control Panel Jump List
Right-clicking on the Control Panel icon on the taskbar in Beta revealed a noticeably sparse Jump List .In RC the Control Panel Jump List offers quick access to recently used items.
There are a lot many changes than those...to discover them Download Windows 7 RC Now and relive the expierence

iPhone Vs Windows Mobile!!!!!

When an iPhone fan picks up a Windows phone, his or her first impression may go something like this: "It's difficult to find various features, it's kind of ugly, the hardware doesn't quite match the software, and it's generally user-unfriendly."

Vice-versa, when a die-hard Windows Mobile user picks up an iPhone, he or she might think, "This is a locked-up, inflexible platform designed mainly to get you to buy more stuff from Apple , like movies, music and apps."


While Microsoft's Windows Mobile division may have seemed a bit stagnant for the last couple of years, the software giant is reinvigorating its mobile phone operating system. In February, the company announced that the next generation of Windows phones will be based on Windows Mobile 6.5, and we can expect to see Microsoft focus less on the old "Windows Mobile" moniker with a version number. Rather, it will tend to refer to the devices the platform powers simply as "Windows phones."

Consumers vs. Enterprise Users


The iPhone's intuitive touch interface, media-friendly integration with iTunes and a simple email setup and integration combine to make a big difference between it and Windows Mobile phones in the eyes of many consumers.
Some of the other big differences, however, result from Microsoft's go-to-market strategy and the history of Windows Mobile. For instance, Microsoft doesn't build its own hardware like Apple does with its iPhone.
"Windows Mobile is licensed to other manufacturers, and it has deep back-end development options," Ken Dulaney, an analyst and vice president of mobile and wireless research for Gartner  , told MacNewsWorld. Plus, while Apple has made great strides in attracting developers to the iPhone OS platform, there are far more developers for the Windows Mobile/Windows Phone operating system.


Does that make the Windows Mobile operating systems and the actual devices more flexible than iPhone OS and the iPhone?

"That depends on how you define flexibility," Dulaney said. "Windows Mobile has many more options for just about everything, [but] from a user standpoint, Apple has many more app options."
This, of course, brings up the idea that there are certain types of users who are best suited to an iPhone, and others who are better matched with a Windows phone.

Last but Not Least: Accessories


There is one last key angle of consideration, and that's accessories. In this space, Apple wins hands-down, largely thanks to the company's successful iPod line. The popularity of the MP3 player attracted a great deal of attention from accessory makers, many of which have expanded their lines to include iPhone accessories over the past two years.
"The iPhone taps into a huge -- and growing -- market of third-party accessories and [even] docks in cars and airplanes," Greengart said. "With iPhone 3.0 software, these accessories can directly interact with iPhone apps." Accessories for Windows Mobile phones, he said, are largely limited to cases.
All in all, the differences between iPhone and Windows Mobile are huge. However, they will clearly become smaller as Microsoft becomes more consumer-friendly and Apple becomes more willing to play with businesses -- assuming, of course, that Apple doesn't blow everyone away with something that turns everything upside-down this summer.

Book with over 200 million Faces

In less than eight months, Facebook has doubled its user base by signing up 100 million people from around the world, officially hitting 200 million on Wednesday.
Its population is now higher than Brazil's and Japan's.
The ubiquitous online hangout, available only to college students when it opened in 2004, has been growing rapidly since opening up to anyone who wants to sign up.
But how long can that continue?

After a meteoric rise, News Corp.-owned MySpace has petered off and now has roughly 130 million active users, according to comScore. Facebook could ultimately plateau as well. After all, while there more than a billion people connected to the Internet, that doesn't mean they all want to be on Facebook.
Still, even if it's inevitable that Facebook's growth will slow down at some point as the site runs out of prospects to convert, Facebook continues to change what it has to offer, meaning today's holdouts might decide later to join after all.
"What's striking to me is how Facebook has become a kind of dashboard for Internet users," said Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project.
He said Facebook, along with MySpace and other social sites like Orkut from Google or Bebo from Time Warner's AOL, have clearly changed the online experience for many people.

The Sun Rises Again:As Always


Sun Microsystems has rejected IBM's offer to acquire it for US$7 billion, a move that took the tech industry by surprise and sent Sun stock plummeting.

Speculation is rampant as to why Sun Microsystems spurned the offer -- a move critics view as downright foolish in this economy -- as well as what the two companies may do next, and who else might have pockets deep enough to take IBM's place at the negotiating table.
The rejection also prompted comparisons to the Microhoo fiasco last summer, when Microsoft attempted to buy Yahoo and was rejected. Yahoo, of course, has survived -- but the company was clearly battered by fallout following its rejection of the Microsoft bid.
Sun's rejection could trigger additional flashbacks to the Microsoft-Yahoo drama, said Vanessa Alvarez, information, communications and technologies analyst with Frost & Sullivan , with a hostile bid mounted by someone playing the role of Carl Icahn in the Microhoo saga.
IBM, of course, had its reasons for making the offer -- and there is no certainty that it will walk away now that it has been spurned.

For IBM, the acquisition was about buying market share and aggressively competing against HP , whose acquisition of EDS was a direct jab at IBM's services business, Alvarez continued.
It was also, to some extent, a jab at Cisco , which recently entered the server business and competes with IBM in the unified communications and collaboration space as well, she pointed out.
