Man Surrenders After Googling Himself To Realize That He Is Wanted

Man Surrenders After Googling Himself To Realize That He Is Wanted I am quite sure that most of us would have Googled ourselves from one point in time to another, either for fun or out of curiosity. Heck, your prospective employer too, might have also done the same on you to figure out just what kind of person you are during your off hours. Apart from that, since we live in a world that has close to 7 billion people, chances are you will also come across Facebook and LinkedIn profiles which are similar to yours, but a Californian man stumbled upon an ugly truth that he was one of California’s most wanted men.

    Lave, Karbonn, Xolo To Venture Into Windows Phone MarketWhen it comes to Microsoft’s Windows Phone mobile operating system so far, you can more or less say that Nokia has been at the forefront of championing Microsoft’s cause, with just a couple of efforts from Samsung with their ATIV S as well as HTC and their HTC 8X. However, three smartphone manufacturers, Lava, Karbonn, and Xolo that happen to be based in India intend to jump aboard the Windows Phone bandwagon by targeting the potentially lucrative emerging smartphone market.

    HTC Desire 816 Also Had 1 Million Pre-Orders?

    HTC Desire 816 Also Had 1 Million Pre Orders?The HTC Desire 816 does seem as though it is shaping up to be a fairly decent mid-range handset, where we have already gotten our hands-on for a quick review. Well, it also looks set to make waves in the world’s most populous country, with earlier word that the HTC Desire 816 had picked up 450,000 pre-orders in China being trumped by the latest word that it has surpassed the magical 1 million pre-order mark, something that the Nokia X allegedly achieved last week, too.

    Strategy Analytics: Sprint Will Be “King Of Data Speed” Soon

    Strategy Analytics: Sprint Will Be King Of Data Speed SoonOur world does seem to be obsessed with breaking records every single day, and when it comes to data speeds of your mobile or Internet line, you can be sure that forums and message boards alike will light up with different parties pointing out just why you ought to take their side. According to Strategy Analytics, a report that was issued by the research firm claimed that mobile carriers seem to be moving away from network coverage and tend to focus more on the speed of their data pipelines. Guang Yang, Strategy Analytics’ senior analyst for wireless networks and platforms, claimed that the TDD spectrum in the 2.5GHz band which Sprint acquired from Clearwire in 2013 could very well hold the key to enable Sprint to offer its customers with “super high speed data connections.”

    OLPC Retail Price Exposed as Mass Production Begins

    This article was written on July 24, 2007 by CyberNet.

    OLPC LaptopThe One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project has begun the mass production process of the low-cost XO notebook computer. This puts the project on track to ship these in bulk as soon as October 2007.

    The even bigger news comes from Reuters who says that the OLPC could be hitting the retail stores this holiday season. So what kind of price are we talking about? Well, it isn’t exactly the $100 laptop that it once set out to be, but they did manage to squeeze each of these out for a mere $175. But I don’t see you buying a million of these at one time, so if you’re looking to grab one for yourself it’s gonna run you at least $350. There are even talks of charging consumers $525 for one of these which would then help fund more computers for developing countries.

    If you’re looking for a laptop that can be powered by a hand crank, and want a battery that lasts a whopping 12-hours this might be the computer for you. Or maybe you want something that can withstand severe weather? If none of those things appeal that much to you then you might want to think about an Eee PC instead. It’s going to have a version for less than $200 available later this year, and much like the OLPC XO laptop it too will be running Linux.

    I think a consumer version of the OLPC XO notebook could have done reasonably well for $250 or even $299, but $350 is pretty darn high in my opinion. And then the thought of $525 for this thing is insane since I can get a full-featured laptop these days for a similar price.

    I know I know…I’m not looking at it with the "help the developing countries" point of view, but I think there are other considerations that should be thought about. Most countries, if not all, have poor areas that can hardly afford school supplies. If there was a way where I could designate who gets the proceeds (which could be delivered in the form of a laptop) from my purchase I might be more willing to do it. I’m sure that is something they are already thinking about though.

    How much would you be willing to pay for an OLPC XO laptop?
