For mE.....

Notion Ink Adam tablet specs released
Notion Ink Adam tablet specs released
The Notion Ink Adam Tablet is one of the first devices due out with a Pixel Qi display and NVIDIA Tegra 2 chipset. If you put those things together, what you get is a heck of a lot of positive buzz for a product from a company that most people hadn’t heard about before CES. But it looks like Notion Ink is a few steps closer to bringing the Adam to market. Today the company posted the specs for the tablet on its web site, and tech blog Technoholik has snagged some hands-on photos of what looks like a production sample (as opposed to the rendered images we saw last week or the handcarved wooden prototype I saw at CES in January).
So here’s what we know about the tablet. It has a 10.1 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel matte (non-glossy) touchscreen which can function as a full color display or as a high contrast (almost black and white), low power display that’s easily readable in direct sunlight. It has a Tegra 2 chipset which combines a low power dual-core ARM A9 CPU with enough graphics power to play 1080p HD video.
The tablet has a 3 cell battery, which should run for up to 16 hours in full color mode. Technoholik claims you’ll get up to 160 hours with the backlight off, but I’m pretty certain that’s not true, since the folks at Pixel Qi tell me you should generally expect to save just a few watts of power by shutting off the backlight. They’re also working on software that will afford greater power savings by allowing the CPU to shut down when the screen is inactive – for instance, when you’re reading an eBook and only need the CPU to power up to flip pages. But I don’t think that technology is available yet.
The Adam tablet supports 802.11b/g WiFi, Bluetooth, 2.1 and 3G wireless. And it has a 3.2MP camera that you can rotate so it faces the front or back of the tablet, allowing you to snap pictures or use the tablet as a webcam.
There are 3 USB ports, an HDMI output, A-GPS, and an accelerometer. It will weigh about 1.4 pounds and measure just about half an inch thick.
What we still don’t know is the final price or when the Adam Tablet will be available.
Update: SlashGear has more photos, plus a demonstration of the Adam running Adobe Flash, something that rival tablet the iPad can’t do. What’s interesting is that the Adam uses the Google Android operating system, which doesn’t officially support Flash yet either. So either that’s about to change this week at Mobile World Congress, or Notion Ink has some pretty neat tricks up their sleeves.
'My Name Is Khan' earns Rs 250 mn on opening day
NEW DELHI: Controversies notwithstanding, the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer "My Name Is Khan" has gone on to rake in around Rs 250 million (about $5.3
million) across the globe on the opening day.
Directed by Karan Johar, "My Name is Khan" was released on Friday.
"We are delighted with the performance and audience reactions across demographics. More so, because this is only phase one of the film release," Vijay Singh, CEO of Fox Star Studios India, the Indian distributors of the film, said in a statement.
"In addition to the release across 45 countries, MNIK will be rolled out in a phased manner across 25 non-traditional markets from April onwards."
The film features Shah Rukh as Rizvan Khan who embarks on a journey across America to win back the love of his life, played by Kajol. It shows how, along the way, his personality touches the lives of many and inspires a nation.
The movie is being marketed and distributed by Fox Star in India, in the US by its sister company Fox Searchlight and in the rest of the world by parent group 20th Century Fox International.
In New Zealand, the opening day collection was about $9,727 while in the Middle-East, the movie is already 50 percent higher than any other previous film in Bollywood with the earning estimated at $300,000.
There's also a huge demand for additional prints in the existing chains across the Middle East and the print count is expected to increase to around 60 by next week.
According to Fox, the film also will be released in Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Oman and Lebanon in the coming week.
In terms of paid previews, the movie earned about $193,000 from 89 sites in Britain, which is said to be the highest for a single-day preview there. In Australia Thursday, paid previews collected around $34,000 and it ranked number 11.

MY NAME IS KHAN smashes records worldwide
Shah Rukh, Karan Johar & Fox come together to rewrite Box Office history as MNIK smashes all previous international box office records to record the highest-ever single opening day collections for a Hindi film worldwide.
Just when the industry believed that 3 Idiots had set records which would be stay for a long time, box office Baadshah Shah Rukh Khan's MY NAME IS KHAN looks set to break it just six weeks later!
Despite having a limited release in Maharashtra, Gujarat and parts of Madhya Pradesh on Friday, MNIK's worldwide box office collections are estimated at Rs. 25 crores for Friday! This is the highest ever collections for a non-holiday Friday in Bollywood history. Trade analysts estimate that it could have easily earned an additional 5-6 crores if it had been released normally across India. With the film playing everywhere across the country from Saturday onwards and given the strong buzz, this number is only expected to grow.
WORLDWIDE RECORDS
On the first day outside India, almost every record for Bollywood films was broken globally. Internationally, it is the biggest International opening day by almost 30% of its closest competitor, 3 Idiots.
UK BOX OFFICE RECORDS
In the UK, MNIK previewed on Thursday with an incredible £123k from 89 sites, 4th in the market place behind Avatar, The Wolfman Previews and Invictus.
In this market, MNIK has broken the record for the biggest GBO preview figure for any Bollywood release. The biggest single day preview figure in the UK was previously KANK with £98k.
The biggest total previews figure was 3 IDIOTS which had 2 days of previews (Wed/Thu) during the Xmas holiday period with £121k. MNIK single day previews are bigger than both days of 3 Idiots put together!
It is expected to be the biggest opening Bollywood film ever in this market by the weekend.
ANZ RECORDS
In Australia, Thursday previews of "MNIK" grossed a very good A$39K (US$34K). The movie is ranked #11 in the market. This is 107% of 3 Idiots Thursday BO.
In New Zealand, opening day took LC$ 13,627 (US$ 9,727). Bollywood films traditionally open on a Friday. The exception is 3 Idiots, against which MNIK has over-performed by 204%.
MIDDLE EAST RECORDS
The film is already 50% higher than any other previous film in Bollywood history with an opening day estimated at USD 300k.
There's a huge demand for additional prints in the existing chains across the Middle East and the print count is expected to increase to around 60 by next week.

.........LOVE.....
“Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.”
“Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself. To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving.”
