Apple’s iPhone – Battle for the Zune Microsoft Cruxer – All things in a small phone!

The Mac/tech web has been all about the iPhone over the last few days. First it was the hype and exuberance of the new device, then people started to think about the limited information Jobs presented and speculate about the reality of the iPhone — what it is, what it isn’t. For some, this resulted in a pretty dramatic reversal of their opinion on the iPhone; others simply listed some concerns about the device that really were requests for more information rather than some sort of judgment.

We won’t know until June what the iPhone really is. We might see some real-world reviews beforehand, and from there we can start getting a feel for how good (or immature) this device really is.

Phil Schiller demos the iPhone for CBS’ John Blackstone, and it is impressive, especially when you see how well Apple nailed the user interface goals. The GUI and navigation aspects are simply amazing, and the phone seems quite responsive despite all the eye-candy. There’s cross-fading, real-time zooming, and incredibly smooth scrolling. As the iPhone line matures and diversifies, Apple is going to sell millions of these things

la`C2K6 Matrix Effectz

If you were in a avid audince who wonders how in Converita 2K6 presentation - matrix effect of streaming text was displayed, do follow the link for an interesting article prepared by a guy called Phil, for a flash intro for matrix effect on Converita Here or paste this url in your browser – http://www.shortText.com/r1rql.

Its quite interesting to note you need to specify the co-ordinates, intensity, gravity, glow, texture, randomness, point/position each time you get to start the matrix effect. A nice piece of scripting that has caught good background work.

de`RPTM Simulation – doubts

System Perfomance Monitoring – Is it possible in Linux?
Some doubts:
(1) Is it possible that we can run in graphics in Linux, as this is in TC.
(2) Which library holds the cache system variable (…like mem usage)?

Can we access variable for cache memory or current page file usage in Turbo C? In linux it seems good, by using the command ‘free’, but can we access that same as in TC, for system variable which keeps changing every sec/ms. Herein do follow the link Click Here (or) paste the following url in your browser window – http://www.shortText.com/zyldr.

This is a part of a program thought for simulating system performance monitoring, yet I can’t tell if it’s okay. But it’s only for some random values,not original one which I hope to make soon post along. Please extract or make a .c file in //tc/bin and run it,yet this is just a small version, hoping some improvements & comments along.

de`Brute Force

Brute Force Algorithm – Trial
A small version of BFA used to analyse meaningful words from your own jargon – a dictionary file (say ZION/OXFORD.txt). Do make the text dixtionary and check out existing combinations. A simple program made, yet can be made simpler atmost with lesser iterations if Radix sort had been applied. Please check the code over the link – Click here (or) kindly paste the url in your browser window http://www.shortText.com/vheedh and do comment your views.

de’Mysteries resolute

Life seems to take up it’s vortex up all again with quite a world of deceptions and this pattern does resolve to trace up really well, which none probalbly can simulate, to predict possibilites one can encounter in his walk of life, as like a perception on a narrow tight walk, if not in future predictably now it’s really seems endless!

Changes… Alteration… Inconsistency… must be met with up with periodic refinements & re-definitions – but life does seem to resemble as we reach its morbidity. Inputs must be optimal and processisng may seems to burst it’s menacing best far reaching a threshold anyone could imagine out cruxes that seems a pack of cards, persumbaly well-shuflled, hoping to be laid up on. Define your purpose of existence in making things, innovations and plans, as change never is consistent. Change the evolutionary resolutes…. Reframe… Adapt yourself….

le`Embedded GNU/Linux Meet

All seated in cozy conditioned seminar hall of ece department, Meeting just started with and I made the hurried entry.Things just changed the way I looked up old CSE Department.Saw our thala over there, and what more to say ,Shakti Kannan (SK) & Aanjhan (aka TUX) were there to take up the seminar. First session was quite interesting and it was taken by Aanajhan and closely followed up by Shakti.And it was very good to see some interesting aspects in regard to the VHDL – Verilog Hardware Language Simulation, which if I had to experience as a sample piece of code in my digital paper in 3rd Sem, further the timing diagram made up quite a good sense and the most exicting for me seemed to be the Embedded System seminar and the memory stick adaptation followed.The command seemed to be quite simple rather like to to view the disk format and mounting a device in the 0×0300000 port of the mini PCB shaped embedded system.Well off the evening session had been quite entertaining and we had some grave doubts on embedded system clarified.

This seemed the lol`schedule prepared by logic for today’s meet.

8:30 – 9:00 FLOSS Philosophy
9:00 – 10:15 Icarus Verilog and VLSI basics (+ project ideas)
10:15 – 10:30 Break
10:30 – 11:30 Alliance
11:30 – 12:30 Lunch
12:30 – 13:00 Videos / AIGLX Demo / GNU/Linux Desktop
13:00 – 13:45 Embedded GNU/Linux
13:45 – 14:15 Embedded GNU labs how
14:15 – 14:45 Demo (SK)
14: 45 – 15:30 Projects on Embedded GNU/Linux and discussions (SK and TUX)

Just fascinated to note 98% of all systems around contributed to embedded while the rest desktop systems.Further desktop relies to popularize a UI but may not be a embedded one and shakti just breifed on that aspect on various mini-computer board design & his lab in RIT in States.Cool but awed to see some facts like a world’s mini petrol engine being fabricated on a 1″ mini PCB simulatneously being monitored Real Time.RTOs had been well said and more details had been scheduled but time did not permit(mainly b`coz we guyz were sleepy).Further copied the media stuffs over the flash drive and further my responsibility to distribute! Logic & Fox Glove made a good effort to maintain & co-ordinate the events.

Chips & Da`Vinci Code

Some weird idea popped up after reading Da`vinci code by Dan Brown munching’n chips.Just made a small implementation of conventional Substitution Cipher. Hope it works well. Just made up the code and saved it up as a html file, and ran application.Though all recognizes a geek’s philosohpy in deploying things I wish to blutring out damn silly stuffs as this, Do comment on improvements and funky alterations for chipers.(Suggested reading either Da`Vinci Code or William Stallings).I choose the former one…ever crappy am`I?

Crash`d Update.exe

Yesterday I just was installing Video edit magic. It’s a 30 day version from Digit cd. It gave a good capture capability, but when I went to get password from the Seriall.com website, trojan virus came up and created a problem. The problem occurred only in my logging. A update.exe was operating and a *68.dll file was automatically put in the windows /system32 folder every time. Fortunately Quick heal was there. It was invoked and detecting. Complete scan was done. It was going and affecting my HDD memory.
I then uninstalled video edit magic immediately but no use. System Restore was not helping. Last known good configuration was also not working. Then I went to safe mode and then used to quick heal to repair this. Now one msvcr71.dll file is missing as detected by update.exe. So we have to load video edit logic again. But this was wrong as again virus repeated, again detected by quick heal immediately. It is better to have two administrators as even if one fails, other will help to install.

File`System Config’s

XP will generally use NTFS as it’s file system, whereas older DOS’s will use FAT32. Whereas both are fine, there is a size limitation with FAT32, which means you can only save files up to 4 Gb, which in video terms is around 19 minutes. You shouldn’t come across the file limitation in NTFS as it is 16 terabytes minus 64 KB and drives are not yet that big!! If HDD is formatted as FAT32 and you wish to change to NTFS then windows offers an easy way of doing it, but there are a few precautions you need to take first.
Depending on which software you use though, you may find your file size limited by the type of dv-avi file you capture in. There are two types of file, easily identified as Type 1 and Type 2 files. Type 1 has a limit of 4gb as well, so even if you use NTFS you will meet a limit of 19 minutes of capture in one go. Type 2 avi files have a limit, but it’s around 150,000 years in movie length, so I wouldn’t worry too much about it. Most Editing app’s capture as type 2, but if you are having trouble it’s worth checking you are not capturing as a type 1 file.
