Apple pulled the covers off its newest iPod Wednesday, the tie-clip-sized iPod Shuffle. The new music player is half the size of its predecessor, but ups the memory capacity to 4GB (about 1,000 songs).
The new Shuffle gets its small size, in part, from placing the controls on the headset cord, as opposed to on the iPod itself. Like all previous Shuffles, there’s no display, but Apple has added VoiceOver, its new synthesized-speech feature, that tells you what song is playing, who is singing it or what playlists you have.
Available for $79 in silver or dark gray, the new Shuffle is available now at apple.com. Of course, at this size, Apple may want to consider adding another feature: a locator beacon. The new Shuffle’s so small, it’s only a matter of time before you lose it. Source
Are you aware of the file extension 3gp? File extension 3gp is the abbreviation for 3rd Generation Partnership Project files that are no other but multimedia files which along with its sister cousin that is the .3g2 which is the abbreviation for 3rd Generation Partnership Project 2 that are used in the creation and distribution of multimedia on mobile devices across the 3G networks.
These two file extensions are used world wide by most of the providers of mobile communications equipment and services as they provide standards for 3rd generation multimedia. They are derived from the MPEG-4 format. The advantage is that the file structure’s container system helps in reducing the storage usage and the bandwidth because of which it becomes perfect for being used in mobile communications applications. Some mobile phones have the extension .mp4 to its 3GP videos.

Do you enjoy listening to music? I do… Hence today I am writing about the Real Audio Metafile or Real Audio Media extension that is the .ram files which are used for music files across the internet to access remote online streams. This .ram extension is developed by the real networks to be used with the real player for us to enjoy music content files without any hassels. This .ram extension actually in the backend directs the computer to files containing music which is normally associated with the .ra or .rm files. The File Extension RAM makes use of a url signal to find the music files containing the .ra or .rm file extensions and thus only plug ins for real player are required for few radio sites otherwise it is readily accessible without any extra plug ins. You must visit fileextensionram.org to get complete understanding on this File Extension RAM and along with this it also helps you to detect the drivers for your computer and also does scanning and repairing if required after the scan.It will give you all the information required for the system to match the minimum system requirements for the driver to run..the best part is the testimonials of satisfied users like me which help you understand and gives you an assurance that they are genuine and good source to be used.Do share with me your feedback once you visit this link.

Putting an end to the speculation about one of the biggest potential technology mergers in recent times, Microsoft (News - Alert) said earlier this week that it has withdrawn its proposal to acquire Yahoo! Inc.
So rumor of Microsoft to bid for Facebook is in the market,
Microsoft will likely meet with stern resistance from within the Facebook community should its reported approach to the fast-growing social networking site gather momentum.
The Facebook community, populated as it is by a large core of university students, is one of the strongest bastions of anti-Microsoft sentiment on the web, and frequently points out what it sees as the flaws in many of the software giant's products.
Yesterday it was reported that Microsoft's bankers had approached Facebook to ask whether the company might be interested in selling - although the parties are not said to be in official talks. Neither company has commented on the report, which appeared first in The Wall Street Journal. Now Microsoft does have excess money to invest on atleast something. They believe that something is better then nothing. So we are waiting facebook to reply on the general asked question about selling Facebook.
There are at least three groups of Facebook users set up specifically to vent anger at the site's potential acquisition by Microsoft, with names such as 'If Facebook sells to Microsoft, we're leaving', and 'Don't sell Facebook to Microsoft!'.
On the largest, 'Don't let Facebook buy Microsoft', which was formed around the time Microsoft bought a $240 million stake in the site in October, one member recently commented: "If Microsoft buys Facebook I will deactivate my account and never come back - after clearing my friends, my information. YOU people are my witnesses!'
HAHA well everyone hates Microsoft, on facebook atleast. My thoughts says it better facebook don't sell there site, or else even facebook would have fatal errors. ;-)
Cisco has introduced the Cisco QuantumFlow Processor, the industry's first fully integrated and programmable networking chipset. More than half a decade in the making, the Cisco QuantumFlow Processor consists of 40 cores on a single chip and can perform up to 160 simultaneous processes.
The chipset was designed by a team of more than 100 Cisco engineers and has led to more than 40 patent submissions. Many of the engineers who developed the Cisco Silicon Packet Processor (SPP) for the Cisco Carrier Routing System (CRS-1), which debuted in 2004, also worked on the Cisco QuantumFlow Processor.
Continued advancements in technology, design and expertise enabled the team to increase the transistor density on the chip from a then networking-industry, leading 185 million on the Cisco SPP to more than 800 million on the Cisco QuantumFlow processor.
In the first major upgrade to its Storage Area Network (SAN) file system, Apple on Tuesday introduced Xsan 2, adding a new feature called MultiSAN and making it easier for first time users to get up and running.
“The feedback we’ve heard from customers is that a SAN is too difficult to setup, so one of the goals in this release was to make SAN simpler,” Eric Zelenka, senior product line manager server & storage software, told Macworld.
One of the ways Apple has accomplished this is with the SAN Setup Assistant, which is integrated into Mac OS X Leopard Server or as an application that can be run on its own. When first setting up Mac OS X Server, a fourth option automatically appears if you have a Fibre Channel card installed. The setup assistant will do all the heavy lifting for you, setting up everything including Open Directory permissions.
Xsan 2 also includes a new feature called MultiSAN for users who need to access multiple Xsan volumes from the same workstation or server. Zelenka pointed to examples like a newsroom with separate SAN volumes for production and broadcast.
“Tens of thousands of businesses, from small video post-production houses to large data centers and TV stations, use Xsan as their clustered SAN file system,” said Zelenka. “Now with Xsan 2, businesses can efficiently share and access their data faster and easier than ever before.”
In addition, Apple said that Leopard Server features such as iCal Server, Mail Server and Podcast Producer, can now integrate with Xsan 2 to support clustered file systems, improving performance and scalability and reducing the impact of a service outage from the loss of any one server.
Xsan 2 has also been qualified with third-party RAID storage hardware from Promise Technology in configurations tuned and optimized for Xsan.
Apple has qualified Xsan 2 with Xserve, Mac Pro and Apple Fibre Channel PCI-X cards. Xsan 2 requires that Mac OS X version 10.5 or Mac OS X Server version 10.5 software be installed and will support qualified Fibre Channel switches from vendors such as Brocade, QLogic and Cisco, and RAID storage hardware including Xserve RAID and Promise VTrak E-Class RAID subsystems.
