Samsung Galaxy Y Pocket S5300 : Close Kin of Galaxy Y
Samsung are back to basics and they say there's always room for one more in the low end. Especially one that doesn't take too much space. The Galaxy Pocket makes the Galaxy Mini look like it's on steroids and the Y series like a bunch of semi pros.
Life at the bottom of the food chain is far from enjoyable but it can be pretty exciting, and some creatures have figured out how to adapt. They're usually small, fast and good at mimicry. The Galaxy Pocket meets the size requirement, but we'll have to check about the speed. And no, no one will mistake it for a trimmed down S III but some feature phones may be fooled into getting too close.

Pirate Pay develops BitTorrent traffic blocker to stop piracy
The movie and music industries continue to complain about how much piracy is costing them. DRM doesn’t work as it is easily circumvented, and it seems big lawsuits don’t work either. The proof being The Pirate Bay still being online today.
Another solution has presented itself, however, and it comes in the form of a piece of technology from the Russian company Pirate Pay.
When Pirate Pay was developing traffic management solutions for ISPs a few years ago they came up with a system that managed to block BitTorrent traffic. It worked so effectively the company decided to focus on that bit of tech and developed it as an anti-piracy measure. So good was the solution, Microsoft’s Seed Financing Fund has invested $100,000, and both Walt Disney and Sony Pictures have used it to limit illegal downloads.
Pirate Pay is keeping the details of how their technology works a secret for good reason. All we know is that it floods BitTorrent clients with fake data meaning they disconnect before a download is complete. So even though illegal copies are freely available online, it’s very difficult to successfully download them.
It’s easy to see why such a system would be of great interest to the entertainment industry. With BitTorrent traffic blocked for specific files, it stops movies and music from being downloaded. The cost of doing this is thought to be between $12,000 and $50,000 depending on the scale of the blocking required.
As an example of a successful block, Pirate Pay point to the movie Vysotsky. Thanks to God, I am alive, which was released in Russian movie theaters last December. The company protected the movie for 30 days, during which 44,845 torrent downloads were blocked.
The question now is, can Pirate Pay scale up to protect every movie that is released and effectively end BitTorrent piracy? We also don’t know how effective the system actually is. For example, they may have blocked the movie mentioned above 44,845 times, but how many successful downloads were there?

Nag A Ram? Google Jokes With Search Results “Anagram”
Oh Google, you did it again. The number one trending topic on Google right now is a search for “nag a ram.” What could that strange term mean? Is it some strange 4chan stunt or just a weird glitch? Turns out its neither – it appears to be a fun little “Easter egg” surprise planted by some programmers at Google.
The Internet is good for a lot of things, but its become sort of a default resource for defining terms and concepts in everyday life (sorry Encyclopedia salesmen.) So imagine the fun surprise for thousands of users looking for a quick definition of “anagram.” When one enters that specific term, Google search suggestions asks “id you mean: nag a ram?” Get it? “nag a ram” is an anagram, of anagram!
For the record, the accepted definition of anagram is “a word, phrase, or name formed by rearranging the letters of another, such as cinema, formed from iceman.”
So for all the curious sorts out there looking to hop on the SEO hot topic trend game, Nag a ram is nothing but a fun anagram of anagram. (Silly Google.)

Android handset prices may go up
Now that Microsoft and Oracle are going after Android based smartphone makers, asking them to pay $15 to $20 per handset, the cost of the Android smartphones may go up by Rs 1,000.
Now that Microsoft and Oracle are going after Android based smartphone makers, asking them to pay $15 to $20 per handset, the cost of the Android smartphones may go up by Rs 1,000.
Google has been accused of breaching several patents in the process of creating its Android operating system. Now those handset makers who manufactured their handsets based on the Android operating system, run the risk of paying a huge amount to other companies for their patents.
The jolt would most likely be borne by the end users of these handsets. The first obvious beneficiary would be Apple, which will see its products iPhone and iPad widen their lead over the Android smartphones and tablets.
Partnering with Android may now prove somewhat costly to the handset makers such as Motorola, HTC and Samsung, who had based their calculations on the free Android operating system. Now that Microsoft and Oracle are going after Android based smartphone makers, asking them to pay $15 to $20 per handset, the cost of the Android smartphones would go up by Rs 1,000.
"It's not like Android's free. Android has a patent fee. You do have to license patents," said the Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer to The Wall Street Journal. Oracle has already filed a lawsuit against Google alleging its Android infringes its Java copyright. The company is now directly asking the Android handset makers to pay the license fee.
HTC has already signed a deal with Microsoft, and would pay $5 per handset to the company. Motorola has not given in to Microsoft yet and has decided to fight Microsoft legally. Samsung is also reportedly negotiating with Microsoft.
The story does not end here. Microsoft, Apple and Research In Motion are facing an anti trust scrutinydue to their acquisition of Nortell patents, which they may use to "keep a set of patents out of Google's hands". The outcome of this investigation may also greatly influence Android's fate as well.
Nexus 3 to feature dedicated Google+ button
However, there is now confusion over who will manufacture the upcoming Nexus 3 smartphone. Earlier, Samsung claimed it would manufacture the handset but reports are now saying HTC will be the manufacturer.
Google has got some really big plans regarding Google+, its social networking website launched recently. According to a post on the Google+ fan page on Facebook, the upcoming Nexus 3 smartphone will be featuring a dedicated Google+ button which will provide one touch access to sharing and liking content on the social networking website.
And this button will not just be an inclusion in the software or the operating system of the device but will be a physical hardware button on the device itself. Having a hardware button dedicated for Google+ makes a whole lot of sense as it would definitely make content sharing a lot easier.
The post reveals some very shocking information about the upcoming Google Nexus device too. As mentioned in the post, Google Nexus 3 device will be manufactured by HTC. It is contrary to the earlier reports that the device will be manufactured by Samsung, who had also confirmed it on their Twitter page.
At this point, however, there is no clarity as the news seems to be based on rumours and an official confirmation on the same is yet to arrive and.
Also, earlier it was reported that Nexus 3 would not have any hardware button on it, which is now being contradicted by the announcement that talks about a dedicated hardware button for Google+ on the smartphone.
The disclosers about Nexus 3, however, are not official statements and an official statement from Google on this regard may come anytime soon.

All U Need To Know :: CAPTHA :: tHE weird characters that u have to type in before Login Everywhere
CAPTCHA is a type of challenge-response test used in computing as an attempt to ensure that the response is generated by a person. The process usually involves one computer (a server) asking a user to complete a simple test which the computer is able to generate and grade. Because other computers are supposedly unable to solve the CAPTCHA, any user entering a correct solution is presumed to be human. Thus, it is sometimes described as a reverse Turing test, because it is administered by a machine and targeted to a human, in contrast to the standard Turing test that is typically administered by a human and targeted to a machine. A common type of CAPTCHA requires the user to type letters or digits from a distorted image that appears on the screen.
Early CAPTCHAs such as these, generated by the EZ-Gimpy program, were used on Yahoo!. However, technology was developed to read this type of CAPTCHA
