Apple developing glasses-free 3D and holographic display technology

A patent filed in 2006 shows Apple’s interest in the 3D realms, showing a new type of three dimensional and holographic glasses-free display. A lot has changed since 2006 since, and while the patent probably had concentrated on television, monitors and even projection systems, its present applications in smaller, mobile segment are certainly appealing to Apple, the company behind the bestselling iPhone and iPad devices.

The display technology supposedly uses lens-like bumps on the screen that deflect stereoscopic images from each pixel into the right and left eyes of the viewer. While it does seem like the viewing angles would be quite limited with this approach, and not ideal for multiple viewers, Apple’s patent claims the display combined with 3D imaging technology would be able to track the movements of multiple viewers and manipulate the deflected image to keep it crispy andautostereoscopic for all.

Sony Ericsson Hallon leaked

Sony Ericsson is gearing up to announce several devices next year. We have already seen the Sony Ericsson Playstation phone also known as Zeus, and the smart and slim Sony Ericsson Anzu. Now another Sony Ericsson device is leaked and it’s codenamed as SE Hallon. The design of the phone is kind a similar to Zeus, but the Hallon doesn’t come with a slider keyboard.

• Visual cue for scrolling: When you are in a scrollable list (like your Gmail inbox) and you reach the end of the list it shows an orange hue—a visual cue that you can’t scroll anymore.
• Notification bar icons (Wi-Fi, network coverage bars, etc.): Turn green when you have an uninhibited connection to Google, white when you don’t. Hint: if you’re in a hotel or airport using Wi-Fi, the bars won’t turn green until you launch the browser and get past the captive portal.

For Nokia N8 owners over in India there’s been a few rumours flying around for a while now that the Symbian^3 smartphone would at some point see a firmware update although up until now there wasn’t any confirmation of such a firmware update.

However, according to an article over on Techtree by Prasad Naik, Nokia India has now given a little confirmation via their Twitter account when responding to a query by a user which states “@nerrajvohra Hey Neeraj,Nokia N8 users an expect a firmware update sometime in Jan. We’ll keep you posted.”

Nokia India tweeted…”@Vaibhavo209 Hey Vaibhav, Nokia C6-01 will be available by January.” So again no solid date but it does confirm that the Nokia C6 will release sometime in January and is the first Nokia device to use Nokia Clear Black Display tech, an explanation video of which can be viewed (here)

Know your VLC Player and its Powers

For most people, VLC is the favorite media player because it plays everything they throw at it without hiccups. No hunting for codec. But VLC can do a lot of other things as well. Find out how many of these listed below you knew, and how many you did not.

1. Rip DVDs: VLC includes a basic DVD ripper. You probably would never use it when there are better DVD rippers available, but it helps to know that you can in fact, get a decent quality DVD rip with VLC. To rip a movie follow these steps: Go to the Media menu and choose Convert/Save. Click on the Disc tab.

A Faster Start Menu

I see no reason for there to be any delay when I click on the Start Menu. Effects are pretty, but I wouldn’t click on it if I didn’t have business inside, so lets get it open and get moving. The default speed can be adjusted with a quick registry entry.
The default value is 400. Set it to 0 and the delay is gone, but it will be nearly impossible to move the mouse fast enough not to activate [All Programs] if you mouse over it in route to your final selection. It's easy to train yourself to move the pointer to the right after clicking Start to avoid activating All Programs. Pick a number that suits your style and make the change, then test it until you find a good compromise between speed and usability.

[Start] [Run] [Regedit]
Registry Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
Modify/Create the Value Data Type(s) and Value Name(s) as detailed below.
Data Type: String Value // Value Name: MenuShowDelay
Setting for Value Data: [Default = 400 / Adjust to Preference]
Exit Registry and Reboot

Folder Options Missing

Many of us sometimes find the folder options missing in windows explorer.
Here's the solution-->

Open Run and then type "gpedit.msc".
Now goto User Configuration > Administrative templates > Windows Component > Windows Explorer.

Click on Windows Explorer you will find the 3rd option on the right side of screen "Removes the Folder Option menu item from the Tools menu"

Just check it, if it is not configured then change it to enable by double clicking on it and after applying again set it to not configured.
