Posted by Jubeir On March - 27 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

Twenty20 cricket is the latest form of international cricket, originally introduced in the United Kingdom for professional inter-county competition by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), in 2003. A Twenty20 game has a single innings, batting for a maximum of 20 overs a side. A Twenty20 game is completed in about three and half hours, with each innings lasting around 75 minutes.  It was introduced to create a lively form of the game which would be attractive to spectators at the ground and viewers on television and as such it has been very successful. Since its inception the game has spread around the cricket world.  The inaugural World Twenty20 was played in South Africa in 2007 with India defeating Pakistan in the final by five runs.

Posted by Jubeir On March - 27 - 2010 55 COMMENTS

22-year-old pronounces the Albiceleste can surprise everyone at the finals. Barcelona and Argentina winger Lionel Messi has declared that he will never become like his hero coach Diego Maradona and said he has no aspiration to compare to him.

Recent exploits for the Blaugrana have seen foreseeable contrasts made among the two number 10’s and resurrected the debate on why Messi can’t deliver the similar standards for the Albiceleste?

Even after millions of years go by, I will not be even close to Maradona. And I do not want to come within reach of him. He is the utmost of all time.

I don’t measure up to myself to Maradona; I want to make my own record for something I have done.”

The 22-year-old also eminent playing for Barca and Argentina is different but he believes that the Albiceleste are in a good direction to win World Cup in South Africa.

“I’ve been asked numerous instances and the answer is that is totally dissimilar to play for Barcelona then the national team. It doesn’t mean that the national team doesn’t have good players, they are the best in the world, but we don’t have time to work, everything is very fast.”

“When we’re all together in groups, and with time things can alter. We all reverie of lifting the World Cup in South Africa. There can’t be anything more stunning than that.”We arrived at the World Cup a good way (quietly), not as favorites. That’s good because we can give everybody a big bombshell.”

India’s another nuclear missile tests

Posted by Jubeir On March - 27 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

India successfully experiment two short-range nuclear-capable missiles from two sites off its eastern coast on Saturday, a defence ministry official said. India nuclear systems begun in 1983 and these tested are the part of conventional missile system which has developed a series of tested nuclear weapons in 1998. These nuclear tests were successful and met all the mission aims. S.P. Dash, director of the Integrated Test Range, told AFP. Last month, India proclaimed it would test a nuclear-capable missile with a range of over 5,000 kilo meters within a year. India has developed an array of weapons systems for reaching potential targets in neighboring Pakistan and China. With Pakistan, India has fought three wars since their partition six decades ago. India’s missile development programme could spark off a new arms race in the Asian region

On Saturday, first test was the experiment of the Dhanush, which has a range of 350 kilo meters and was fired from a naval ship in the Bay of Bengal off the shores of the state of Orissa. The 2nd missile was the Prithvi (Earth)-II, embarked on from Chandipur-on-Sea Integrated Test Range, 200 kilometres northeast of Bhubaneswar, the capital of Orissa. The Dhanush, which means bow in Hindi, is a variant of the ground-to-ground Prithvi missile, developed for the Indian navy. Both variants can carry nuclear and conventional warheads and have been produced at home. The 8.5-metre Prithvi-II missile has a range of 150-350 kilo meters and can carry a one-tonne payload. India’s current longest-range nuclear-capable missile, Agni-III, can travel a maximum of 3,500 kilo meters

Future TV’s with 3-D viewing, glasses & Blu-ray DVD

Posted by Jubeir On March - 27 - 2010 3 COMMENTS

Three major television manufacturers companies are now bringing in new 3-D TVs. Panasonic Corp. will partner with Best Buy Co. to place special displays promoting and campaign for its new televisions. Virtually, some of the retail stores will offers discount the models by up to 50 percent off. The market might be ready for this new high-tech era because 3-D movie theaters are widely successful. Panasonic’s 3-D televisions are a critical part of the Japanese electronics giant’s strategy to compensate the TV losses. It suffered financial losses. The high-tech televisions are lucrative and expensive but manufacturers are excited that consumers will adopt the new technology. Samsung will begin rolling out the first 3-D units this week. The price tag will start at around $3000 that includes a 46-inch television, a Blu-Ray DVD player, and 3D glasses. 3-D TVs will have limited content because the market is relatively very new.

Although the Samsung TV models will come with a special copy of “Monsters vs. Aliens” and DreamWorks is planning to release “Shrek” titles in 3D later this year. ESPN is also introducing a new cable channel in June with complete three-dimension scene. We are keenly to see this astonishing level of eagerness and passion for 3-D. DreamWorks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg said,  the rate of adoption for this into the cinema has been a rocket ship these last couple of months,. TVs are furnished with bulky glasses that need to be recharged occasionally. These glasses are the key to provide the results. However, when you wear the TV glasses, lights in the room as well as computer screens may look like they’re flickering that could make it to watch with other household activities. Sony Corp is also getting into the market and set up to boost shipments by 70 percent. The company hopes to drive out sales by shipping out 25 million units this year. Sony’s 3D television will be unveiled in Japan in June.

The thrust to bring three-dimension viewing into the living room come the wave of 3-D movie theaters. These techniques include stereoscopic capture, multi-view capture, and full 3-D display. It is also known as a special viewing mechanism to project a program into a realistic three-dimensional field. 3D-ready TV sets are those that can function in 3D mode in conjunction with LCD shutter glasses. The TV tells the glasses which eye should see the image being displayed at any given moment. It does this by creating a stereoscopic image. The TV sets usually support HDMI 1.4 and a minimum refresh rate of 120Hz. In fact, Mitsubishi and Samsung consume DLP technology from Texas Instruments. As of January 2010, Toshiba, Samsung, Sony, Panasonic, and LG all had plans to introduce the capabilities in a variety of TV sets that will soon come to market. In addition, 3-D Blu-Ray players and DirecTV broadcasts are also.

UK Police monitors internet cafes

Posted by Jubeir On March - 26 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

Internet cafe consumers in the British capital might need to keep an eye on what they download. Scotland Yard is counsel’s overseer of public Web spaces to periodically prod through their customers’ files and keep an eye out for doubtful action.

The Metropolitan Police said Thursday that the program which has been turn round over the past weeks beneath the auspices of the government’s counterterrorism policy , is aimed at jog memory of cafe owners that authorities are ready to heed from them if they have apprehension about their Internet users. Posters and computer desktop images adorned with Scotland Yard’s logo are also being circulated.

“It’s not about asking owners to scout on their customers, it’s about elevating alertness,” a police spokesman said. “We don’t ask them to pass on data for us.”

Still, he said, police were “heartening people to check on hard drives.” He did not intricate, saying it would be up to cafe owners to decide if or how to monitor what customers left on their computers.

Checking hard drives could divulge what customers were up to fairly easily under the right circumstances, according to Graham Cluley of software security company Sophos. For example, an owner could examine a browser’s Internet history or sieve through the programs or documents the customer had downloaded, although in a busy café it would be difficult to distinguish which user did. But Cluley noted that a computer-savvy criminal could make their activities invisible in a few simple steps.

“You would expect any cyber criminal who had made the decision to use an Internet cafe to attractive much dirt off their fingerprints,” he said. Still, Cluley said “there’s no impairment in keeping an eye unlock.”

While the program is intended, owners can pay no attention to police advice if they so choose, civil libertarians aren’t happy. One said it risked creating an air of fear while discouragement Internet users’ privacy.

“What you’re going to finish up with is a lot of people reporting Muslims in Internet cafes,” said Simon Davies, the director of U.K.-based Privacy International. Though he recognized that people might have inferior anticipations of seclusion in an Internet cafe than at home, he said their communications should nevertheless be kept to themselves.

“We don’t anticipate that our calls from a public phone would be supervised, any longer than we should expect our e-mails to be monitored,” he said. “As citizens we have to hold the row that there is a fundamental right of privacy of communications.”

Police say Internet cafe owners should stay attentive in part because the cafes have often been used by terrorists and other criminals in an attempt to dodge revealing. The police spokesman noted that the men behind the conspiracy to blow up U.S vault passenger’s jets with liquid explosives concealed into soft drink containers used an Internet cafe to synchronize their plot.

Germany’s federal police agency Bundeskriminalamt has no similar program, spokeswoman Barbara Huebner said, while French Internet cafes do not normally watch users’ doings.

At a Paris Internet cafe that is part of the Cybercafés Milk chain, workers are not allowed to view what their customers are exploring on the Internet.”It’s private, thankfully,” said employee Pierre Larroque.

Back in Britain, K. Jama of IFKA Tele.com in the Camden area of north London said his cafe will not be bothered to monitor its customers’ downloads or Internet history, which he said were swab from the computers every day in any case. Still, the 34-year-old said the police’s placards were a functional way of put off criminals from his shop.

“When they see the poster hanging there, they will think twice, that’s the main thing” Jama said.

However Arash Assam, an 18 year old student who was browsing Facebook in the underground room of the shop just beneath the bright purple police warning wasn’t overwhelmed.”I didn’t even notice it,” he said.

The Internet cafe proposal came as politicians censured the government’s counter terrorism plan. A report published by a parliamentary committee on human rights Thursday said civil liberties were all too often “clutched out by the vital of national security and public security” in the clash against terrorism. The government said the menace to Britain from terrorists remained “genuine and serious.”
