Now, enjoy Android apps on Windows-poly tech mate


HOUSTON: Soon many of you will have a chance to add applications from the most popular mobile operating system, Android, to the most popular desktop system, Windows and enjoy technological marvel, thanks to the Chipmaker AMD and Bluestacks.
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and BlueStacks have teamed up to let consumers run Android apps on their AMD-powered PCs. BlueStacks, creator of a Windows app that enables you to run Android apps on Windows, has joined forces with AMD to bring their cross-platform application to AMD-powered tablets and PCs.
The two companies have teamed up to bring 500,000 mobile Android apps to Windows PCs through the AMD AppZone Player starting Thursday.
AMD is also working with its partners to pre-load the the BlueStacks Android App Player on AMD-powered Windows 7 and 8 laptops, desktops, and tablets.
If you don't want to wait for a new PC you can download the master Android on Windows app, AMD AppZone Player.
Or, you can simply download an Android app from the AMD AppZone and it will automatically install the player in addition to the app.
The partnership between BlueStacks and AMD, which has invested in the software company, focuses on optimising Android apps for AMD-powered Windows devices.
While Intel-powered PCs can access Android apps through BlueStacks' original Windows software, the AppZone Player is optimized for AMD's GPU and APU technology.
Manju Hegde, corporate VP of Heterogeneous Applications and Developer Solutions at AMD said, "BlueStacks' cross-platform innovation bridges the Android and x86 application ecosystems, providing new opportunities for developers and better experiences for users.
"By collaborating with BlueStacks we are enabling software developers to more easily tap into the full capabilities of AMD's products, and providing millions of consumers with great experiences as they can now run Android apps on AMD powered devices."
BlueStacks is an AMD Ventures-backed software company that enables Android apps to run on notebooks, desktops, all-in-one PCs, slates and tablets.


ANDROID OPERATING SYSTEM AT RISK-POLYTECHMATE


Android phones vulnerable to remote data wipes-polytechmate


WASHINGTON: Cellphones using Google's Android operating system are at risk of being disabled or wiped clean of their data, including contacts, music and photos, because of a security flaw that was discovered several months ago but went unnoticed until now.
Opening a link to a website or a mobile application embedded with malicious code can trigger an attack capable of destroying the memory card in Android-equipped handsets made by Samsung, HTC, Motorola and Sony Ericsson, rendering the devices useless, computer security researcher Ravi Borgaonkar wrote in a blog post Friday. Another code that can erase a user's data by performing a factory reset of the device appears to target only the newly released and top selling Galaxy S III and other Samsung phones, he wrote.
Borgaonkar informed Google of the vulnerability in June, he said. A fix was issued quickly, he said, but it wasn't publicized, leaving smartphone owners largely unaware that the problem existed and how they could fix it.
Google declined to comment. Android debuted in 2008 and now dominates the smartphone market. Nearly 198 million smartphones using Android were sold in the first six months of 2012, according to the research firm IDC. About 243 million Android-equipped phones were sold in 2011, IDC said.
Versions of Android that are vulnerable include Gingerbread, Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean, according to Borgaonkar. He said the Honeycomb version of Android, designed for tablets, needs to be tested to determine if it is at risk as well.
Samsung, which makes most of the Android phones, said only early production models of the Galaxy S III were affected and a software update has been issued for that model. The company said it is conducting an internal review to determine if other devices are affected and what, if any, action is needed. Samsung said it is advising customers to check for software updates through the "Settings: About device: Software update'' menu available on Samsung phones.
Borgaonkar, a researcher at Germany's Technical University Berlin, said the bug works by taking advantage of functions in phones that allow them to dial a telephone number directly from a web browser. That convenience comes with risk, however. A hacker, or anyone with ill intent, can create a website or an app with codes that instruct the phones linking to those numbers to execute commands automatically, such as a full factory reset.
The phone's memory card, known as a subscriber identity module, or SIM, can be destroyed remotely in the same way, Borgaonkar said. "Vulnerability in Android can be exploited to kill the SIM card permanently by clicking a single click,'' he wrote. "After the successful attack, the end user has to go to the mobile network operator and buy a new SIM card.''
While Borgaonkar has drawn attention to the problem, it's unclear how useful the vulnerability would be to cybercriminals who are primarily interested in profits or gaining a competitive advantage, said Jimmy Shah, a mobile security researcher at McAfee. "There's no benefit to the attacker if they can't make money off it or they can't steal your data,'' Shah said. "It's really not that useful.''
But the technique could cause huge headaches if it were harnessed to issue outbound phone calls, said Mikko Hypponen, chief research officer at F-Secure, a digital security company inHelsinki, Finland. "If that would be doable, we would quickly see real world attacks causing phones to automatically dial out to premium-rate numbers,'' he said.

samsung galaxy tab 10.1


Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1: US court asked to reconsider ban

A US appeals court ruled on Friday that a lower court should reconsider a sales ban against Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 10.1 won by Apple in a patent dispute with the South Korean electronics maker.
The injunction was put in place ahead of a month-long trial that pitted iPhone maker Apple Inc against Samsung Electronics Co Ltd in a closely watched legal battle that ended with a resounding victory for Apple last month on many of its patent violation claims.
However, the jury found that Samsung had not violated the patent that was the basis for the tablet injunction and Samsung argued the sales ban should be lifted. US District Judge Lucy Koh said she could not act because Samsung had already appealed.
In its ruling on Friday, the Federal US Circuit Court of Appeals in Washington said Koh could now consider the issue.
The decision comes just a month before the South Korean corporation is expected to unveil the second generation of one of its most successful devices, the stylus-equipped Note.
The Galaxy 10.1 is an older model, but the ban still hurts Samsung in the run-up to the pivotal holiday shopping season.
The world’s top two smartphone makers are locked in patent disputes in 10 countries as they vie to dominate the lucrative market, which is growing rapidly.
A US jury found during the just-concluded trial that Samsung had copied critical features of the iPhone and iPad and awarded Apple $1.05 billion in damages.

ios 6 jailbreak solution might arrive in weeks


iOS 6 Jailbreak Solution Might Arrive In Weeks / Months, Says 

Pod2G


Pod2G, the guy who a couple of days ago was saying that he isn’t working on a iOS 6 jailbreak solution, said yesterday that a jailbreak solution for the latest version of Apple’s operating system will be developed in a few weeks / months. The statement came as a response to all impatient users who kept asking him about iOS 6 jailbreak on Twitter.
JailbreakCon takes place this weekend in San Francisco, an international conference where the hackers who are developing jailbreak solutions for iDevices are making various presentations regarding iOS’ security and exploits. Developers who create tweaks and apps for Cydia will attend JailbreakCon, too, as well as regular users, and everybody is expecting to see impressive stuff in San Francisco, especially an iOS 6 jailbreak solution.
It was rumored over the past few months that the freshly-launched iPhone 5 will be jailbroken live at the conference, there are some chances for this to happen, but, even so, a jailbreak solution for this terminal and iOS 6 will most likely be launched weeks after, probably after iOS 6.0.1 will be made available for download.
The iOS 6 update rolled out last Wednesday, so there wasn’t enough time for the development of a viable jailbreak and, in my opinion, the iOS 6 jailbreak will not come so easily, as Apple changed a lot in the last version of its mobile operating system.
A few days ago Pod2G and posixninja said that Apple made a major mistake in iOS 6, probably talking about an exploit that would allow them to develop the jailbreak, but we are talking about a process that requires a lot of time.
Summing up, the iOS 6 jailbreak is on its way, but you will have to be patient and give the hackers time to get a proper solution going.
In case you are wondering, you can’t downgrade from iOS 6 to iOS 5.1.1, if you own an iPhone 4S, iPad 3, or iPad 2, without having the SHSH for iOS 4.x and 5.x. Still you can downgrade your iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 or iPod Touch 4G, but only if you previously saved the SHSHs and blops.

Pen Drives main threat to Cyber Security: Army


Pen Drives main threat to Cyber Security: Army

New Delhi, Sep 30: Despite a ban, use of pen drives has emerged as the main threat to cyber security in defence forces as it is responsible for over 70 per cent of such breaches in the three Services.
The use of pen drives as an easy-to-carry storage device has increased in the recent past and internal reports have confirmed that over 70 per cent cyber security breaches in the armed forces are due to their unauthorised use, Army officials told PTI here.
"These pen drives, which are mostly manufactured in China, have emerged as a big threat to our cyber security systems," they said.
Fresh cyber security guidelines have been issued by the Army headquarters to protect sensitive military networks from hacker attacks, sources said.
Measures have been taken by the other two services also to tighten their cyber security as IAF also recently issued instructions to its personnel warning them against having any official data on their personal computers and pen drives.
All personnel have been asked to declare their Information Technology assets and have been asked not to have any official data on them, IAF officials said here.
Anybody found violating these instructions in checks by cyber security personnel will draw strict action which may even amount to disciplinary action including court martial, they said.
When asked about the development, IAF spokesperson Wg Cdr Gerard Galway confirmed the steps taken by the Air headquarters to safeguard its cyber assets and secret information.
Sources said generally it is found that officials use pen drive to store official data for use at their personal computers but from there, it is transmitted from their IP addresses to hackers from the 'malware' present in the pen drives.
About a couple of years ago, a Major posted in Andaman and Nicobar Islands was apprehended as it was found that sensitive data was being transferred from his computer.
However, it later emerged that his system had been hacked and spying viruses were transferring information to other computers.
An IAF Junior Warrant officer was also apprehended by officials after he was found in possession of unauthorised CDs carrying official information.
The Navy's Eastern Command was also affected after hacker groups were found to be stealing information from its computers there due to malware put in them by external drives.
As part of efforts to counter cyber-attacks, the National Security Council has also been discussing designating certain intelligence agencies under the Defence Ministry for countering cyber offensives against the country.

NOKIA LUMIA 920 PRICE ABOVE SAMSUNG GALAXY S3

Nokia prices Lumia 920 above Samsung Galaxy S III

Nokia has priced its new Lumia 920 handset up to 25 percent higher than rival Samsung Electronics' Galaxy S III, risking a consumer backlash and endangering the troubled Finnish cellphone maker's efforts to catch competitors. Analysts said Nokia will struggle to explain the premium of theLumia 920, which uses Microsoft's Windows Phone 8 software and is seen as potentially its last chance to break into the profitable segment and secure its future.
"Hardware-wise they are pretty similar, it would be hard for Nokia to justify that extra cost to consumers," said Ovum analyst Nick Dillon. "Windows Phone is still largely an unknown to consumers - they would probably expect to pay less if they are taking a risk."
Nokia said Swedish carriers would sell the Lumia 920 for around 5,700 Swedish crowns ($860), excluding subsidies. This compares to 4,515 crowns asked for Galaxy S III at Expansys, one of the leading online phone stores in Europe.
In Italy, the Lumia 920 will sell for 599 euros ($770), compared with 530 euros for the Galaxy S III which has been on the market for four months.
The Galaxy S III retails for 530 euros also in Germany, where Nokia will ask 649 euros for the Lumia 920.
The Galaxy S III has become the pricing benchmark for flagship smartphones although Apple is selling its iPhone 5 well above those models.
Once the world's biggest mobile phone maker, Nokia fell behind rivals in the fast-growing smartphone market and has struggled to catch up, racking up more than 3 billion euros in operating losses in the last 18 months and forcing it to cut 10,000 jobs, as well as sell assets.
The Lumia 920 is Nokia's bid to catch up with Apple's iPhone and a string of popular phones using Google's Android software, like Samsung's Galaxy models.
The new phone, which with its rounded edges and colourful covers look similar to its predecessors, was unveiled earlier this month and drew a thumbs down from many analysts, who felt it lacked the "wow" factor to make big inroads against rivals.

samsung galaxy s3

Samsung Galaxy S III, S II data can be deleted remotely by hackers
LONDON: With hackers revealing that they can hide a code in a web page that will trigger a full factory reset of Samsung's best-selling Galaxy S III smartphone, swiping away contacts, photographs, music, apps and other valuable data, security researchers are under pressure to counter it.
The code, now circulating freely online, comprises of just 11 digits and symbols, and was first revealed at a computer security conference in Argentina.
Ravi Borgaonkar, a researcher based at the Technische Universitat in Berlin, demonstrated how the code can be embedded in malicious text message, or called up in the web browser by a QR code or NFC tag. If an unsuspecting Samsung Galaxy S III owner visits such a page, their smartphone will be restored to its factory settings without permission or any input from them, The Telegraph reports.
Borgaonkar said the whole attack takes just two or three seconds, and once launched, there is nothing a Samsung Galaxy S III owner can do to stop it.
Samsung is now facing calls to issue an immediate software update to address what experts described as a "major security vulnerability".
It has also been revealed that the code can trigger a factory reset on Galaxy S II and other devices that use the Korean firm's version of Google's mobile operating system, Android. All use Samsung's "TouchWiz" interface, the paper said.
Devices from other Android manufacturers will not to be unaffected by the code, Borgaonkar confirmed.
The Galaxy S3 III, introduced in May, is the main rival to Apple's iPhone and Samsung's flagship, with global sales of more than 20 million, the paper added.

Asus RT-N66U Dark Knight Double


Asus RT-N66U Dark Knight Double
                          
       $159.99 to $200.00

the good: The true dual-band Asus RT-N66U Dark Knight Double 450Mbps N Routeroffers excellent coverage, stable wireless signals, and stellar data rates on the 5GHz band. The router comes with a generous feature set and can also work as a standalone VPN server.
The bad: The RT-N66U's firmware is a little buggy and its data rate on the 2.4GHz band could use some improvement. The router's USB ports don't support the USB 3.0 standard.
The bottom line: Though not perfect, the Asus RT-N66U Dark Knight Double 450Mbps N Router would make an excellent network gateway for home and small-office environments.

I've held off reviewing the Asus RT-N66U Dark Knight Double 450Mbps N Router until now due to some known bugs in earlier versions of its firmware. The latest, version 3.0.0.3.108, is still, well, a little buggy, but fortunately not seriously enough to keep the router from being an excellent networking device.
Being the first N900 router from Asus, the RT-N66U offers stellar performance on the 5GHz band and a vast number of features. The router also has great wireless range and was very stable in my testing. With two USB ports it has more to offer than other USB-enabled routers, and it was very fast when coupled with a storage device.
The RT-N66U isn't perfect, however. Performance on the 2.4GHz band was slower than I expected, and the router's USB ports lack support for the latest USB 3.0 standard. Nonetheless, if you're looking for a top-notch router for your home or even a small office, the RT-N66U is one of the best on the market, especially considering that its street price is lower than that of the Linksys E4200v2 from Cisco.
Design and ease of use
The RT-N66U looks similar to its predecessor, the RT-N56U, with a sleek casing that more resembles a jewelry box than a networking device. The RT-N66U, however, can't disguise its true nature due the external-antenna design, with three of them sticking up from the back. These antennas are detachable but you do need them in place for the router to work.
Also on the back, you'll find four LAN ports and one WAN port. All of these ports are Gigabit Ethernet, meaning you'll also be able to get a fast wired network if you're not interested in wireless. Near these ports are the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) button, the reset button, two USB 2.0 ports, the power button, and a tiny power port. While that may seem to be a lot of things on the router's back, items are well-distributed, so it's less cluttered than you would imagine. Still, it would be a lot better if a few items were moved to the front or the sides of the router, where there are no buttons at all.
On the front, the router has an array of LED lights that show the statuses of the ports on the back, the connection to the Internet, the USB ports, and the wireless networks.
The RT-N66U comes with four rubber feet to make it stay put on a surface, but it's also wall-mountable. It comes with a separate base -- which, interestingly, I couldn't attach to the router until I broke a little piece of plastic off of it -- for keeping it in a vertical position. (That little piece is probably there to keep the base from falling off, but it's just too long, making it almost impossible to attach the base to the router.)
The router comes with a CD that contains setup software that walks you though every single step of how to set it up, so it should be very easy for home users. Savvy users can skip the CD and use the router's Web interface to set it up by pointing a connected computer's browser to 192.168.1.1, which is the router's default IP address. The first time you go there, the interface will greet you with a Web-based wizard with steps similar to those of the desktop setup software.
Either way, you won't have any problem getting the router up and running. I myself was able to do that in less than 10 minutes, including opening the box.
Features
The RT-N66U is an N900 true dual-band router, meaning that both of its bands (5GHz and 2.4GHz) can offer up to 450Mbps, currently the fastest speed of the Wireless-N standard. In order to enjoy this higher speed, your Wi-Fi client also has to support the 450Mbps standard (also known as the 3x3 standard), which most of them don't. Nonetheless, the router works with all existing Wi-Fi clients, including those made for pre-N wireless standards.
To make sure the router offers maximum compatibility, you'll need to change the settings of its wireless networks to Auto and the encryption methods to support both AES and TKIP methods. To do this you will need to use the Web interface, which also allows you to access to all of the router's features.
And the RT-N66U's Web interface is great: well-organized, responsive, and reasonably simple. There are three major parts of the interface that you can access from the left part of the page. The top part is the setup wizard mentioned above, the middle is for General items, and the bottom is the Advanced Settings.
General offers a Network Map for viewing currently connected devices, including those connected to the router via the USB ports. You can click on one of the connected devices to interact with it. For example, you can quickly block a Wi-Fi client or set up a network storage feature of an external hard drive. In the General area, you can also add or change up to six Guest networks, three for each band. Other nifty General features include a Parental Control feature, a Traffic Manager, and management of the router's USB ports.
The USB ports can be used for a lot of functions. As with most USB-enabled routers, you can connect USB external storage devices or printers to these ports and turn the router into a storage or print server, both of which by the way worked well and were easy to set up. With the RT-N66U, these ports can also be used to host storage over the Internet, coupled with a cellular USB dongle so the router can work as a mobile hot spot, and when an external hard drive is connected you can also use the router to manage downloads by itself. The router's PC-less download feature supports FTP/HTTP downloading, BitTorrent, NZB, and eMule and worked well in my trials, except the fact that it doesn't support downloads from sites that require authentication.
Lastly, the Advanced Settings offer more in-depth access to the router's features, some that would be specifically useful for businesses. The most notable feature is the VPN server for creating a secure virtual private network for remote users. You do need to possess decent networking know-how to set up and manage a VPN. The router also supports IPv6, a customizable firewall, and QoS.
Overall the RT-N66U offers most, if not all, of the features you might want from a high-end router, and all the ones I tried out worked very well. I did find a few small bugs, however. For example, via the Web interface you can set the router to automatically check for and update itself with the latest firmware. The problem is this function always says that there's a new firmware version available even when the router has been updated with the latest. For this reason, you'll need to check Asus' support Web site to find out if there's actually a new version of the firmware available.
Performance
The RT-N66U offered stellar performance on the 5GHz band. For the throughput test, which was done at a close (15 feet) distance, when used with 450Mbps clients, it scored about 182Mbps. At this speed, the router can finish transmitting 500MB of data in about 20 seconds. When I increased the distance to 100 feet for the range test, still with a 450Mbps client, the router managed to maintain a high throughput of about 155Mbps.
I also tested the RT-N66U with regular 2x2 (300Mbps) clients and on the 5GHz band and it scored an impressive 110Mbps and 98Mbps for close and long distances, respectively.
It was quite a different story when I moved to the popular 2.4GHz band, however. In this band, the RT-N66U, though not slow, wasn't able to impress me. When used with 450Mbps clients, it scored 55Mbps and 45Mbps for close and long distances, respectively. With regular clients, speeds were reduced to just 37Mbps and 29Mbps.
To make up for this, the RT-N66U offers very long range on both bands, up to 300 feet in my testing. It was also very stable and passed my 48-hour stress test with no problems. During the stress test, the router was set to continuously copy data back and forth between multiple clients, both wireless and wired. Neither of the router's wireless bands disconnected once during this time.
Despite the fact that the RT-N66U doesn't support USB 3.0, its network storage performance was also very impressive, with 132Mbps for writing and 88Mbps for reading over a Gigabit Ethernet connection. These speeds are fast enough for light media streaming and data sharing. The only router that was faster than the RT-N66U in this category is the Linksys E4200v2 from Cisco, which has fewer features than what the RT-N66U has to offer

happy news for android devolopers in india


Google enables Indian developers to sell paid apps on Google Play Store


in a turn that will help boost the morale of Indian app developers, search giant Google has added India to the list of countries from which developers can register as Google Checkout merchants. What this basically means is that Indian developers will be able to sell paid applications via the Google Play Store (earlier, Indian developers had to open accounts in countries that supported this service so that they could sell Android apps).
While Google did not come out with an announcement for the same, it quietly added India to the list (see pic below). “We’re working hard to add more countries, but we’re unable to provide any guidance on timelines. Please stay tuned!”
The company also pointed out some important points that the developers had to keep in mind. These included:
The Google Checkout account that developers need to link to their Google Play developer account can only be linked once from within the developer account interface.
Once the accounts are linked, they cannot be removed, changed or updated. If a developer wants to do this, they will have to sign up for a new developer account by paying a fee of $25.
 The company has been rolling out the ability to set prices in multiple currencies over several months but if a particular location is not yet enabled for selling in multiple currencies, developers will only be able to set a price in their home currency. This basically means that Indian developers will only be able to sell in Indian rupees as of now.
Also, once the price for an application is set, developers can choose to change it at any time. But once an application is published for free, you cannot later add a price to that app. Developers will need to create new app (with their Application Package File) and add a price.
For those who don’t already know, Google follows the 30:70 model where it takes 30 per cent of the total app price as transaction fees and developers get the rest. And if an app sells digital goods (like in-game purchases) or subscriptions, the company takes 30 per cent of that amount as well.

Aakash - 2 supply to IIT Bombay started; launch in October: Datawind


NEW DELHI: Maker of low cost Aakash tablet, Datawind, today said it has started supplying the new version of the tablet to IIT Bombay and it is likely to be launched in October.
"Supplies are on to IIT Bombay. In the next few weeks, it should be launched. I do not have the exact date, but HRD Minister ( Kapil Sibal) has said he wants to launch on the anniversary date which is October 5,"Datawind CEO Sunit Singh Tuli told PTI.
The launch will depend on the Minister's schedule, but it is not very far from now, he added.
Tuli said Datawind has started supplying the next version of the low cost tablet, Aakash 2, to IIT Bombay since the last one month and a half. However, he refused to disclose other details.
Sibal had earlier said that new version of Aakash tablet would have a better battery with a three-hour battery backup, a capacitive touch screen among other new features at the same price.
Datawind had won the tender for making and supplying Aakash tablets for price of around $49 per unit. Apart from this order, the company has also received orders for 55 lakh more from general customers.
Datawind CEO said the company has cleared most of the pre-paid bookings and will now start focusing on supplies for the non-paid bookings.
"Out of 55 lakh orders, 4 to 5 per cent were pre-paid bookings. May be in a week or 10 days, all the pre-paid will be done. Then we will focus on pre-bookings. We are giving them offers to upgrade to Android 4.4 version," he said.
Datawind is delivering around 1,500 to 2,000 tablets each day, being assembled within the country as well as outside, Tuli said.
He added that company is in talks with channel partners to sell products across country, but it will first focus on the pre-booking order that it has.
