Unlocking iphone's can cause problems-APPLE

Well bad news to all of the those iPhone users who have unlocked their phones from AT&T network!!!

Though Apple Corp. has said it is not disabling the iPhones which are being unlocked or hacked it has announced that unlocking iPhones from AT&T Cingular network can cause some serious irrepairable damage to the device and also those iPhones which fail to work due to the installation of unlocking software are not covered under warranty ...

Apple gave this statement a few weeks after inagurating its new series of iPods and decreasing the cost of iPhone by a whooping 200$ .

There are many unlocking softwares for iPhones available in internet which apple says are dangerous for iPhones . Apple said it has sold more than a million iPhones since its introduction from june-end till this month , but the record was within first 2 days of its release into market it has sold more than 270000 iPhones .

As of till now we have'nt heard of any cases of iPhone damage caused due to unlocking the Phone anyways we just have to wait and see whether this particular announcement is a valid one or ot is just a trick to save its deal from AT&T Corp.

IBM's R&D goin 2 make a historical move !!

By using Nanotechnology IBM claims it has developed methods which can pack some 13,000 movies into a single device which is not bigger than an iPod !!!!!

.

.

IBM says it was able to achieve this feat by learning how to steer single atoms in a way that could create building blocks for ultra-tiny storage devices .The important point is understanding and manipulating the behavior of atoms is critical to harnessing the power of nanotechnology..

.

This is what Scentists at IBM say about atoms ----->>>

.

-> "One of the most basic properties that every atom has is that it behaves like a little magnet, If you can keep that magnetic orientation stable over time, then you can use that to store information. That is how your hard drive works" said Cyrus Hirjibehedin, a scientist at International Business Machines Corp.'s (IBM.N) Almaden Research Center in San Jose, California..

.

->Mr. Andreas Heinrich said "What we've been able to do is to look at an iron atom on a copper surface and to move that magnetic orientation around.

Now they are looking for an atom that remains stable over a long time. In the very long run, we're shooting for data storage on a very tiny scale"

.

After all these are very good signs for more portability and comfort .. Hope those Whiz guys at IBM come out with such techniques as soon as possible !!

Wal-Mart entering the market of DRM-Free

Wanna know about DRM-Free music-------->>>>>>>>

.

.

DRM acutally (Digital Rights/Restrictions Management) is a technology that music distributors put on the files they sell to restrict your use of the music. DRM complicates or disallows selection of different media players (both on your computer and physical devices), backing up your music and many other legal, fair-use applications of the content you've purchased. Distributors also reserve the right to change the restrictions at any time, so what you agree to today may be completely different tomorrow. Often, these restrictions can lead to being unable to listen to the music you purchased, so if you have a choice, opt for the DRM-free music files!!!

.

.

Till now Apple's i-Tunes was only the popular site for downloading DRM-Free music but now Wal-Mart Stores Inc started selling digital music downloads on its web-site...

.

.

Apple's i-Tunes charges $1.29 for downloading a single track where-as Wal-Mart is charging just 99 cents per a track or $9.22 per album ..

.

.

Wal-Mart also said its new format can be played on any system including Apple's iPod , iPhone , Microsoft's Zune media portable player ..

.

.

Wal-Mart's move into DRM-free downloads comes as major record labels debate whether dropping DRM will hurt digital music sales or encourage piracy. Copy protection software prevents unauthorized copying of a digital song bought from an online store, but it also limits where an owner can listen to it ..

.

.

Wonder how much competation these two Giants Apple and Wal-Mart face with each other !!!
