iPhone 5 releses on August 7th

The much awaited next gen phone from Apple is all set to hit the world on 7th August 2012. The release of this phone was extended to August to avoid a direct competition with Samsung Galaxy S III.  This version of iPhone is scheduled to be rolled out with latest iOS 6.

 The specs of this phone still remains a mystery. The most probable upgrades which i think will be included in this phone are better and larger display, quad-core processor, NFC support and better battery. These should be improved if apple wants to stay in the market as Samsung is running away with better phones.

Install Windows from USB/pen drive.

I have been in this situation many times where I need to reinstall windows but I have no DVD drive or have a blank DVD to burn the image to. You can follow the very simple 3 steps to install windows from USB / Pen drive installation.

1. Format (Full Format and not Quick Format) the USB Stick with HP USB Flash Utility with NTFS as the file system.
   
2. Run bootsect.exe using the command prompt with the following switches

BootSect.exe /nt60 G: /force

Where G: is your USB/Pen drive.

Bootsect.exe updates the master boot code for hard disk partitions to switch between BOOTMGR and NTLDR. You can use this tool to restore the boot sector on your computer. This tool replaces FixFAT and FixNTFS.

3. Copy all files of the Win 7 iso to the usb-stick. You may either mount the iso using daemon tools and copy or extract the iso using WinRAR.

This method can be used on Windows 7 / Windows Vista.

Governments gift to internet users in India

With the aim of benefiting the poorest of the poor who have to live on Rs 26 per day, the Indian government has decided to tax Internet and broadband users a little more in India.

Starting from the 1st of this month Indian internet users will pay 7 per cent more tax on their bills every month, with the increase in revenue share imposed on Internet Service Providers (ISPs). In addition, the levy will increase to 8 per cent from April 1st 2013.
India has one of the lowest Internet and broadband penetrations, compared with other developing countries. It has missed many of its own targets, including the one to reach 40 million broadband users by 2012: it hit barely 14 million connections this year.
So what if internet in India is of low speed, high cost and unpredictable quality and all of this is hurting the growth of our economy. Taxes have to be raised so that the government can meet its out of control expenses and reduce the fiscal deficit.

Fifa 12 Lagg / Stuck on PC

I am an online Fifa player and my game started lagging from yesterday. I checked and all my other games had no issues. I tried lowering my graphics settings but still it was lagging. I confirmed that it was a bug of Fifa 12 because I could play Battlefield 3 in ultra high settings. After searching around the internet I found that this issue occurs randomly with people having AMD/ATI graphics card.

Please follow the steps below for the fix:

1. Download & Install Latest version of Riva Tuner : download from Guru3D.com
2. Run D3DOverrider.
3. Force VSync & Tripple Buffering OFF.
4. Open My Documents > FIFA 12 > fifasetup.ini & Add this line SCREEN_SLEEP=0 & save. [YES 0 not 16 as you are using D3DOverrider]
5. Run fifaconfig.exe and turn OFF VSync.
6. From ATI Catalyst turn OFF Vsync & Tripple Buffering.
That should remove the LAG & Micro Stuttering if you are using an ATI Card

Amazon EC2 goes down and drowns Netflix,Instagram and Pinterest along woth it.

Popular web services Netflix , Instagram and Pinterest all suffered downtime on Friday night thanks to an Amazon cloud server outage. Parts of the Amazon EC2 server, which hosts an alarmingly high percentage of the internet's top content, went down in Virginia, United States, due to severe thunderstorms in the area.
The outage was first acknowledged by the cloud provider at 11:21pm EST when, hopefully, most Brits would be unknowingly and comfortably snoozing the problem away.

However, by 1:15am EST Amazon said it had resolved the issue: "EC2 and EBS APIs are once again operating normally. We are continuing to recover impacted instances and volumes," said a statement from Amazon Web Services.
Back online for Saturday loafing Netflix came back online shortly after, while social networking site Pinterest and retro photo-sharing site Instagram also reappeared. So, if you're a Statesider whose Friday night
usually involves watching Arrested Development re-runs and taking filtered photos and uploading them to Facebook, last night wasn't your night. The outage raises questions over the reliability of the servers, given that it was taken down by a little thunder and lightning, but let's hope for better weather in North Virginia for the rest of the weekend.
