Nintendo's Wii U will launch with 23 games, the company announced yesterday.
Nintendo, of course, will be leading the charge with four titles on store shelves the day its console launches on November 18. Chief among those titles is New Super Mario Bros. U, the latest installment in that franchise's long and storied history. Nintendo's Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge, Nintendo Land, and Sing Party will also launch on November 18.
The Wii U will also get support from several third-party publishers, like Activision, which will offer four titles on launch day, including Call of Duty: Black Ops II. Electronic Arts will offer up FIFA Soccer 13 on launch day, and Sega will launch Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed.

Nintendo earlier this month announced that a basic Wii U setup, featuring 8GB of memory, the console, and the Wii U Gamepad, will cost $299.99. A Deluxe set including all of that plus more memory, Nintendo Land, and a charging pad, will sell for $349.99.
At the event announcing the Wii U's pricing, Nintendo declined to announce any launch-day titles. Instead, the company said that it will have 50 titles available between November 18 and the end of March 2013.
In yesterday's announcement, Nintendo listed over 50 games that will either launch on November 18 or fit into the launch window -- defined by the company as ending March 31.

The brainchild of an India-born chef for top cyclists, a new 'life saver' bike helmet that connects with your phone and alerts emergency services in case of an accident is set to hit the markets soon.

The potentially life saving smartphone app, which can detect a crash and then alert the emergency services, has been designed for bike riders.

The clever application pairs through Bluetooth with a motion detector which is attached to the rider's helmet and senses the crash.

The invention has been created by Oklahoma-based software company ICEdot in the US.

The detector, named the ICEdot Crash Sensor, can even evaluate the severity of the crash depending on the force of the rider's fall, the Daily Mail reported.

Chris Zenthoefer, ICEdot's CEO, said: "The idea came from Biju Thomas, a prominent chef for a lot of top cyclists. He was on a solo ride and crashed and thought if the crash had been any worse, nobody would have know where he was located."

"We were then introduced and it became clear that the pairing of his idea with ICEdot existing technology were a perfect match," Zenthoefer said.

Following an accident the app will prompt the phone to sound an alarm and a countdown, which can be set to between 15 and 60 seconds, is initiated.

If the alarm is not deactivated the app will contact an SOS service and relay vital information.

Using GPS coordinates the device can reveal the user's location and the severity of their condition.

ZHENGZHAO, Henan province, China--If you want to understand why iPhones are made in this corner of the world, look no further than Li Yue.
When I met the effervescent 21-year-old, she was lined up at a kiosk outside the gates of the massive assembly plant owned by Foxconn. Li, wearing a white T-shirt and blue jean shorts and carrying a pink parasol to beat the heat on a scorcher of a June day, was among a group of a dozen or so candidates applying for a job with the Taiwanese firm. Not a specific job, mind you. Any job.
It's not as if Li, who just finished her first year as a student at Henan Police College, didn't have much going for her. She was bright and engaging. She spoke more than passing English. And she conveyed an eagerness to get started.
Foxconn granted her wish. But instead of landing a job at the plant here, which employs more than 190,000 workers, Li boarded a bus that afternoon for Taiyuan, in the Shanxi Province, a 10-hour ride away. It may have been more than she bargained for.
Late Sunday night, the Taiyuan factory, with more than 79,000 workers, was roiled by violence. Foxconn said "a personal dispute between several employees escalated into an incident involving some 2,000 workers," leading Foxconn to suspend operations at the plant for a day. While Chinese authorities are investigating the cause of the riot, Foxconn said that it "appears not to have been work-related." Apple declined to comment on the riot.
From rocks to recycling: The life of an iPhone
Tomorrow: We look at the environmental concerns raised by mining for the raw materials of the iPhone and what happens to iPhones when people get rid of them.
The weekend violence is the latest in a growing list of incidents that have heightened concerns over conditions in factories that make iPhones and other high-volume tech products. There have been employee suicides, explosions at two plants that make Apple gadgets, and reports of harsh working conditions. A New York Times investigation of the manufacturing of Apple products in China in January painted a picture of a company that wants to improve the workplace at its partners such as Foxconn but "falters when it conflicts with crucial supplier relationships or the fast delivery of new products."
There are other, less obvious issues adding to tensions in these teeming facilities. Wages may be high compared with other jobs in China, but they are sometimes barely enough to cover rent in the huge dormitories in which employees typically live, and still leave workers with money to send to family members in villages who live on even less. Managers can subject employees to harsh public ridicule that would be unthinkable in Western workplaces. And employees are often reluctant to make waves simply because there are so many other people who would happily trade places with them.
"The employees always say the people outside want a job," one employee told me in an interview, "and the people inside want to quit."

Mere love affair ia never a reason.If you are a student of NGI and if you fail in an internal exam or you have an arrear then you are treated like animals.Daily you have to undergo severe insult.Staffs will scold you daily and severe punishments will be given.If you argue or say something against it then you will be failed in the next semester laboratory exam,even your internals marks will be cut and life will become miserable in the college.

Times Of India Described it like this:
 COIMBATORE: A 20-year-old college student committed suicide by hanging at his college hostel campus near Kaliyapuram on the outskirts of the city on Sunday night. His body was found at a newly constructed building by a construction worker on Monday morning. Police suspect unrequited love led him to take the extreme step.

The deceased was identified as C Kapildev of Vikkiramangalam near Usilampatti in Madurai district. Police said Kapildev was studying third year BE (Aeronautical Engineering) at Nehru Institute of Engineering and Technology in Thirumalayampalayam. He was staying at the college hostel situated at Kaliyapuram.

The police had checked the deceased's phone calls and messages from his mobile phone based on which they suspect unrequited love to be the cause. His roommates told police that Kapildev had been depressed over the past week and he could not sleep. On Sunday, around 3.30 pm, he had gone out and did not return. He used to spend most of his free time chatting with a girl over phone. So, his roommates did not miss him and went to bed.

On Monday morning, a construction worker discovered his body at the construction site that was on the hostel campus. He immediately alerted the college management who informed KG Chavadi police. They rushed to the spot and sent the body to Coimbatore Medical College and Hospital (CMCH) for an autopsy.

"He had made phone calls and sent messages to the same girl before committing suicide. We did not find any suicide note from his hostel room. We are probing," said inspector Murali, Madukkarai.

After china now its Iran.Iran has transferred all its government agencies to a domestically formed intranet, limiting the access in the name of security reasons. The country will now push the citizens into this ‘intranet’ platform and the government has also blocked Google Search and its mail service inside the country.

According to Reuters, Iran's deputy communications and technology minister Ali Hakim-Javadi said: “all governmental agencies and offices have been connected to the national information network. According to the minister, the system would be fully implemented by March 2013, when all the citizens and networks inside the country will be under domestic internet. But it’s not been made clear that whether the people would still be given access to World Wide Web.
Also a government official said that "Google and Gmail will be filtered throughout the country until further notice" and this will kick in "within a few hours."

Previously, the Iran government had tried to block several international sites like Facebook and Twitter from entering the country. But the people had effectively tackled the situations by using proxy servers over Virtual Private Networks and gaining the access.

Bangalore: Except Apple, everybody opines that the Cupertino giant has made a biggest mistake in the release of its new operating system iOS 6- Avoiding Google Maps! Apple’s first try at a mapping service has been an utter failure, inviting criticism from all around the world. But, the company is not setting the foot back, as the reports close to matter suggests that Apple is on a hiring frenzy, going after people with experience working on Google Maps to develop its own product.

Techcrunch reported that Apple is pursuing a strategy to lure Google Maps employees who helped develop the search giant’s product on contract. Moreover, the reports said many of the employs who lost the interest in doing the “tedious updates” on Google maps had accepted Apple’s offer on building a fresh, brand new Map.

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Friday defended his government's fresh economic reforms, saying these were needed to boost investor confidence domestically and globally.
In a nationally televised address, the prime minister accused the opposition of misleading the people and said the time had come to embrace "hard decisions" to revive the country's economy.

"The time has come for hard decisions. For this I need your trust, your understanding and your cooperation," he said, comparing the situation with what prevailed in 1991 when India embraced sweeping economic reforms.

"We are at a point where we can reverse the slowdown in our growth. We need a revival in investor confidence domestically and globally," he said. "The decisions we have taken recently are necessary for this purpose."

The prime minister's speech came hours after the Trinamool Congress quit his government over the decisions to hike diesel prices, cap the supply of cooking gas cylinders and allow FDI in multi-brand retail trade.

In his speech, Manmohan Singh defended all three decisions.

He said that subsidy on petroleum products had grown enormously, and would have been over Rs 200,000 crore this year.

"If we had not acted, it would have meant a higher fiscal deficit, that is, an unsustainable increase in government expenditure vis-a-vis government income.

"If unchecked, this would lead to a further steep rise in prices and a loss of confidence in our economy."

He said India had faced a similar situation in 1991 when "nobody was willing to lend us even small amounts of money".

"We are not in that situation today, but we must act before people lose confidence in our economy."

On the decision to limit to six the number of cooking gas cylinders a family can get in a year, the prime minister said "almost half of our people ... actually use only six cylinders or less".

"We have ensured they are not affected. Others will still get six subsidised cylinders, but they must pay a higher price for more," adding the price of kerosene, the poor man's fuel, remained unchanged.

Manmohan Singh denied accusations that allowing foreign direct investment in retail would hurt small traders.

He said that organised and modern retailing was already present in India and growing.

In Delhi, he said, despite the increasing number of shopping centres, there was a three fold increase in the number of small shops.

"The fear that small retailers will be wiped out is completely baseless."

Diesel price hike was needed to cover losses

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said Friday a Rs.17 per litre hike in diesel price was needed to cover the losses and that the government only partially passed on the burden to the common people.

"We raised the price of diesel by just Rs.5 per litre instead of the Rs.17 that was needed to cut all losses on diesel," the prime minister said in an address to the nation.

The prime minister pointed out that much of diesel is used by big cars and sports utility vehicles (SUVs) owned by the rich and by factories and businesses.

"Should the government run large fiscal deficits to subsidise them," he asked.

The prime minister said taxes on petrol were reduced by Rs.5 per litre to prevent a rise in petrol prices.

"We did this so that the crores of middle class people who drive scooters and motorcycles are not hit further."

On the cap on subsidised LGP cylinders

On the decision to put a cap of 6 subsidised cylinders per year, Singh said, "Almost half of our people, who need our help the most, actually use only 6 cylinders or less. We have ensured they are not affected."

"We did not touch the price of kerosene which is consumed by the poor," he said.

He said despite the recent increase, diesel and cooking gas prices were lower in India than neighbouring countries like Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal.

"The total subsidy on petroleum products will still be Rs.160 thousand crore. This is more than what we spend on health and education together. We held back from raising prices further because I hoped that oil prices would decline," he said.  (IANS)

Finally the result has come,BERLIN (AP) — A German court has dismissed Apple Inc.'s claim that Samsung Electronics and Google Inc.'s Motorola Mobility infringed patents used in touch-screen devices.
The Mannheim state court's ruling Friday follows similar decisions in Britain and the Netherlands.
The ruling can be appealed within 30 days.
Apple and its rivals are locked in a complex worldwide battle over patents and design rights covering the lucrative market for smartphones and tablet computers.
Last month a U.S. court ruled that Samsung phones and tablets infringe on Apple patents, and awarded the Cupertino, California, company $1.05 billion.
Meanwhile, Samsung is seeking royalties from Apple for sales of iPhones it says infringe on its patents.

NEW DELHI: Auto major Mahindra & Mahindra today said it is expecting to produce 2,500 units of its latest compact sports utility vehicle Quanto in October.
"For October, our production plan is 2,500 units of Quanto. After selling these vehicles, we hope to get more demand for the vehicle," Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) Chief Executive (Automotive Division) Pravin Shah told reporters here.

The company has a combined production capacity of 7,000 units per month for its multi utility vehicle Xylo and Quanto, which was launched yesterday in Mumbai. It will be produced at its Nashik facility, he added.

"Currently, we are producing around 2,500 units of Xylo. Rest we can use for Quanto... We will not have much problem in ramping up the capacity of Quanto as many of the parts are common with Xylo," Shah said.

The company today unveiled the Quanto here. It is priced between Rs 5.99 lakh and Rs 7.57 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

M&M will start exporting the Quanto to neigbhouring countries such as Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka, besides South Africa to begin with in the next three-four months, which will be followed by Europe and Latin America.

The sub four-meter Quanto is powered by a three-cylinder 1.5 litre diesel engine. The company has invested Rs 100 crore in developing the five-seater Quanto.

A sub four-metre Verito sedan will hit the roads by the end of this financial year, Shah said.

Meanwhile, the auto major said that it does not forsee any impact of the diesel price hike on its compact SUV Quanto, as the easing interest rate will take care of any psychologically effect on potential buyers.
"We do not forsee any impact despite the diesel price hike as the interest rate is easing. So the impact will get mitigated," M&M GM marketing R K Mitra said in Kolkata on the sidelines of launch of Quanto.

M&M also plans to launch Rexton sports utility vehicle from its South Korean subsidiary SsangYong Motor's stable and Mahindra Reva NXR electric car ahead of the Diwali.

"We will launch the high-end SUV Rexton. It will be the first Ssangyong product that we will launch sometime by Diwali", Mahindra and Mahindra, Senior Vice President Marketing (Automotive Sector) Vivek Nayer told reporters in Chennai.

He said Rexton would be a high-end SUV above the Mahindra "XUV500" and would compete with Toyota Fortuner and General Motors' Captiva.

Mumbai: With the government sending out a bold message that there was absolutely no room for any rollback of the reforms process it launched last week, the Dalal Street turned euphoric.

The 30-share BSE Sensex soared 404 points to end the day at 18,752.83, up 2.20 per cent, while the broader 50-stock NSE Nifty jumped 137 points to close at 5,691.15, up 2.46 per cent.

"Sentiment was beaten out of shape, so this rally was expected. The strength in large caps indicates the rally will continue. Targets of 5,900-5,950 on Nifty are possible now," independent analyst Sarvendra Srivastava said.

On Thursday, the government went ahead with the notification of foreign investment in multi-brand retail, aviation and broadcasting sectors despite the nation-wide strike called by the opposition. Today, it went a step ahead and cut withholding taxes on overseas borrowings by local companies, sparking hopes that more reforms are in the offing to revive capital markets and also the overall economy.
The withholding tax cut boosted infrastructure stocks such as Larsen & Toubro, which are expected to especially benefit from easier access to overseas funding markets.

"Withholding tax cut is a significant thing as it reduces the cost of borrowing for corporates," said Sandip Sabharwal, chief executive officer for portfolio management services at Prabhudas Lilladher. "Whenever market sentiment improves and outlook on economy improves, normally, financials lead the rally.

Excessive allocation to defensives and cash is now getting reallocated," he added.

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has announced it will begin fining telecom operators who do not comply with mobile number portability (MNP) regulations. The fines range from Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 10,000 per non-complied request, and will come into effect 60 days from now to give operators a chance to comply.


Portability Regulations 2009. Specifically, the TRAI amendment reads:

"In order to ensure compliance of MNP regulations by access providers, the authority has decided to amend the regulations to incorporate the provisions for levying financial disincentives where contravention is established in rejection of porting requests and also in the timelines specified in the regulations."

"In cases where deviation is noticed by TRAI in the specified timelines by a service provider, a financial disincentive of Rs 5,000 will be levied for each contravention whereas in cases where contravention is established in rejection of porting request by a service provider, a financial disincentive of an amount of Rs.10,000 will be levied for each rejection."

According to TRAI, nearly 60 million subscribers have requested their operators for mobile number porting since January last year, however, a significant portion of these requests have reportedly been rejected the operators on ‘frivolous grounds.'
