MacBook Air
Can't keep up with all these updates? You're not alone. Here's the CliffsNotes: The entire MacBook Pro line – including the 13-inch, 15-inch, and 17-inch models – is getting a reboot. The 13-inch MacBook now gets anNVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics processor, which Apple says will run graphics 80 percent faster than the current model. The smallest MacBook will also come equipped with a 10-hour built-in battery.
Meanwhile, the 15-inch and 17-inch MacBook Pros have been upgraded to Intel Core i5 and i7 processors and Apple’s proprietary graphics switching technology. That tech toggles quickly between the NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M – the same processor on the new 13-inch MacBook – and a Intel HD Graphics processor. Bottom line: The MacBook line is getting a major hardware boost.
Prices for the new MacBooks remain relatively consistent. The most expensive model is the 2.53 GHz, 17-inch MacBook Pro, which goes for just under $2,300. The cheapest is the 2.4 GHz, 13-inch MacBook Pro, which gets a price tag of $1,199. Apple says that all the new MacBook Pros will come with the Snow Leopard operating system, and "inertial scrolling" for the trackpad.
Apple reps called the scrolling function "an intuitive way to scroll through large photo libraries, lengthy documents and long web sites."
The Apple Store closed for a while late last night, but it opened early on Tuesday with the new line of MacBook Pros. "The new MacBook Pro delivers both performance and efficiency," Apple execPhilip Schiller said in a statement. Apple expects to begin shipping updated MacBooks within 24 hours, according to copy posted to the Apple site.

Macbook Air
Apple today took the wraps off the newest iteration of its popular lightweight MacBook Aircomputer, and judging by the specs, screenshots, and early reviews, this thing is a doozy. Witnessthe Lion OS, the Intel Core i5 and Core i7 dual-core processors – which Apple says make the Air twice as fast as the previous generation – the Intel HD graphics, the FaceTime capability, the back-lit keyboard, and the Thunderbolt ports.
The new Apple MacBook Air will ship in two versions: an 11-inch and a 13-inch. The 11-inch Air weights just 2.38 pounds, while the 13-inch Air clocks in at just under 3 pounds; battery life is 5 and 7 hours, respectively. Both computers are 0.11 inches at their thinnest point, and both computers get the aluminum unibody design. Prices start at $999 for a base-model Air.

The Amazing Spider Man trailer
I’m a huge fan of Sam Raimi‘s original great series of films, and Spider-Man 2 remains very high on my list of greatest comic book superhero films ever produced. So I was sad to see that series end abruptly without a chance to bring everything to a formal close.
That said, though, I’ve watched through the production, and my faith in the filmmakers and their loyalty to the source material and to fans is unquestionable at this point. They did a lot of stunts and web-slinging in real life instead of all CGI, they’re bringing back much more of the science-geek angle with Peter building his own web-shooters, and the casting is perfect, across the board.
Now, with this trailer, I’m hooked. I LOVE that end shot! This film is aptly named, because that trailer does look amazing.
The Amazing Spider-Man releases July 3, 2012. Next summer is packed full of greatness for comic book fans, and it can’t get here soon enough.

News Corp in crisis
As news corp s in crisis
The Wall Street Journal's headline says it all: "Showdown Time Comes for Murdoch." But even as US questions arise, fellow media mogul Steve Forbes writes that Rupert Murdoch will "survive and thrive again."
As the News Corp. chairman and CEO, his son James and the embattled former (resigned and then arrested) News International head Rebekah Brooks appear before a three-hour parliamentary hearing into phone-hacking allegations in London today, Bloomberg News is reporting that Rupert Murdoch is ready to step down.
News Corp. COO Chase Carey is on standby to assume the CEO position, according to Bloomberg, while Murdoch would remain chairman in that scenario — all depending how today's hearing goes. News Corp in crisis

RailTel is also termed as BroadBand Network Across Country. RailTel is a unique project driven under PPP service model to execute Country Wide Broad Band Services in India using it extensive high capability of Fiber Network infrastructure. Most of us are not aware of this program and thus failing to see the benefits of this project for all Indian which will certainly boost the India’s telecom growth and GDP growth in the coming years.
Features of RailNet:
1. Broadband rollout in PPP mode
2. Telecom infrastructure across 4000 stations to be used for the initiative
3. Concession Period of agreement to be 20 years extendable by 10 years
4. Freedom to choose broadband technology , tariff policy , sales and marketing and customer support
India has the largest network of Railways across the world which can be utilized effectively to provide a basic infrastructure to the growing telecom services in India through parallel lining of optic fibers .This will ensure immense penetration of broadband services in India. As we know a 10% increase in broadband penetration leads to 1.38 percentage increase in per capita GDP growth of any country. Thus by using RailNet project we can ensure a double digit growth in India and can increase the India’s GDP to many times. This is very ambitious project undertaken by the Railtel Corporation Of India Ltd. The plan seems to be very effective and accurate if executed well but as we India is a country of regulations only , this project may see some delay. But any other country would certainly like use this kind of asset in their country to the fullest. But DoT , TRAI , Railway and Indian government seems to be very aggressive this time and trying to make every process transparent and effective. The project will ensure a faster broadband connectivity to all the Indian villages which can be utilized various beneficial applications like internet connectivity, e-mail conversation, e-learning and e-governance. India Inc can witness a great leap in their growth story only through development and execution of these kinds of projects in rural India. India is passing through a phase of telecom revolution through the launch of much awaited 3g services in India and the parallel launch of RailTel will certainly enhance the pace of this revolution.
