The company will also use the Auto Expo platform to highlight their BlueMotion technologies and its fuel-efficient cars as a part of the company's 'Think Blue' campaign, which was introduced this year with the launch of VW Passat.<a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-wh0Cgt2XErA/Turx1XbXHMI/AAAAAAAADjA/H4_M9NAvpCs/s1600-h/2012-Volkswagen-Beetle-1%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="2012-Volkswagen-Beetle-1" border="0" alt="2012-Volkswagen-Beetle-1" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-McxyxvgXEfw/Turx2UICLNI/AAAAAAAADjI/-QrXHpzWDRs/2012-Volkswagen-Beetle-1_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="392" height="253" /></a> <br />  <br />The VW Beetle in its 3rd generation was first seen on the sets of a popular American talk show and was later officially unveiled at the Shanghai Auto show and the New York Auto show. The 21st century Beetle has been built using the Golf IV platform and the new model will feature some significant changes in terms of design and aesthetics. The new model is 152mm longer, 84mm wider and 12mm shorter than the current model. It improves the rear headroom and bumps up boot space. The typical round headlights of the Beetle will now don an optional bi-xenon headlight with LED daytime running lights. The company is most likely to introduce the new Beetle with three engine options - a 2.5-litre 5-cylinder engine with 170PS of max power, a 2.0-litre TDI diesel engine with 140PS of max power and a 2.0-litre TSI turbocharged Sport model with 200PS of max power. A 6-speed manual will be standard while the 6-speed DSG will be an added option. For India we expect the 2.0-litre diesel mated to an automatic gearbox, since the combination is already present in various VAG cars like the VW Passat, VW Jetta, Skoda Laura and Skoda Superb. <br />  <br />The company has not yet revealed any plans to launch the new Beetle in the Indian market. But we are expecting the company to launch the new 2012 VW Beetle in the first quarter of 2012 to contend in the premium small car segment which is about to expand with the upcoming Mini brand.</p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4522177695072509925.post-16142560341400632532011-10-20T23:50:00.001-07:002011-10-20T23:50:13.378-07:00Hot Hazel Keech Photoshoot for FHM Magazine India October 2011<h3 align="center">Hot Hazel Keech Photoshoot for FHM Magazine India October 2011<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-acz2EZyP7uM/TqEWEVmDxQI/AAAAAAAADf8/oKISwY3kp3g/s1600-h/30876019138708760423212%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="30876019138708760423212" border="0" alt="30876019138708760423212" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-PkCg0hZpqek/TqEWFZwfoYI/AAAAAAAADgE/KFobUl68yF0/30876019138708760423212_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="434" height="596" /></a><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-H97VtfYmM1Q/TqEWID3vrvI/AAAAAAAADgM/C-O5h-5feN4/s1600-h/31629619138714427089312%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="31629619138714427089312" border="0" alt="31629619138714427089312" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-qx2gNUDOsUA/TqEWI4NrO8I/AAAAAAAADgU/uPzBM-c6EuE/31629619138714427089312_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="432" height="290" /></a></h3> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4522177695072509925.post-19788439790300954772011-10-18T21:33:00.001-07:002011-10-18T21:33:17.244-07:00New app reads you your Twitter feed<p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/--A2YE3AqXWY/Tp5TCUYmP8I/AAAAAAAADfc/0WMqTYMSoC8/s1600-h/Justin-Bieber-Twitter-Feed%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: left; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Justin-Bieber-Twitter-Feed" border="0" alt="Justin-Bieber-Twitter-Feed" align="left" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Prsf-YNPLS0/Tp5TC8HbtcI/AAAAAAAADfk/WVMsHi0AHBA/Justin-Bieber-Twitter-Feed_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="240" height="240" /></a> An app developer has developed a hands-free device that reads you your Twitter feed such as when you are driving or cooking and have floury hands. <br />Released earlier this month, the 1.99-dollar worth 65MB app dubbed 'Tweet Speaker' is being downloaded in the thousands, reports the Daily Telegraph.</p> <p>The app has adjustable reading speeds and supports Airplay and creates "a live podcast of your tweets,'' according to App Cubby.</p> <p>Coupled with the Horn Bike iPhone speaker, cyclists are in in Twitter heaven.

The move assumes significance in light of consumers gravitating toward always-on computing devices with a greater degree of mobility.</p> <p>Rattner said that Intel's multi-core technology, in which more than one processing engine is built into a single chip, has become the accepted methodology for increasing performance while keeping power consumption low.</p> <p>These technologies would enable faster web access, improve PC user security and reduce the requirement for wireless infrastructure to provide the optimal online experience, among other benefits, he said.</p> <p>Rattner demonstrated a new technology for better PC security, wherein users would be able to see images and other data on social networking sites and other platforms only if the computer recognises his or her face.</p> <p>The technology will enable parallel cryptographic and facial recognition services to improve security on Ultrabooks and traditional notebooks, besides desktop PCs, with the help of Intel microprocessors, he said.</p> <p>Intel was also collaborating with China Mobile to replace existing "costly base-station hardware used on cell towers today with a fully programmable and far more cost-effective, software-based PC alternative", he noted.</p> <p>Rattner revealed that Intel Labs was working on a new 'Near-Threshold Voltage Processor' that has enabled an experimental Pentium-class processor unit to deliver five times better energy efficiency levels, with the ability to run a processor with a solar cell the size of postage stamp.</p> <p>He said the extreme-scale computing technologies that Intel was working on would help achieve the goal of a nearly 300 times improvement in energy efficiency levels in the next ten years and potentially even a 1,000-fold improvement in the future.</p> <p>Rattner also disclosed a new JavaScript solution that could speed up browser-based content such as 3D games by up to eight-fold and said that Intel would also soon launch the world's first processor with Many-Integrated Core (MIC) architecture, which promises to revolutionise high-performance computing. </p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4522177695072509925.post-72388713828228908752011-09-12T07:05:00.001-07:002011-09-12T07:05:47.108-07:00Ronald Cheng quietly marries girlfriend<p>Hong Kong singer-actor Ronald Cheng secretly married girlfriend Sammie Yu on July 22, 2011, 10 days after she gave birth to a baby girl, Hong Kong media reported on September 6, 2011.<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-wEu-y0IfctQ/Tm4RtZnCRLI/AAAAAAAADeU/jpX8Ccuttf8/s1600-h/Ronald-Cheng-and-Sammie-Yu-Expecting-a-Baby_thumb%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Ronald-Cheng-and-Sammie-Yu-Expecting-a-Baby_thumb" border="0" alt="Ronald-Cheng-and-Sammie-Yu-Expecting-a-Baby_thumb" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-3CRCvCtLFmM/Tm4RumsRbTI/AAAAAAAADeY/158XFI8Qxxc/Ronald-Cheng-and-Sammie-Yu-Expecting-a-Baby_thumb_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="403" height="264" /></a> <br />The 38-year-old actor announced the news during a promotional event for his new film "Treasure Hunt" in Hong Kong, adding that he plans to hold a wedding banquet when their daughter turns one. <br />Cheng is very secretive about his personal life. He even kept his first marriage to Charlene Choi a secret until they divorced in March 2010. <br />Choi, Cheng's ex-wife and a Hong Kong singer, sent her greetings to him, saying she believes Cheng would be a good father. Choi is currently dating Hong Kong singer William Chan and says she too would like to have many children, but that the time was not right yet.</p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4522177695072509925.post-86165000298873908542011-08-23T20:00:00.001-07:002011-08-23T20:00:00.880-07:00Miramax films to stream on Facebook<p> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-q6hQ2LmMNgo/TlRpLGuO_XI/AAAAAAAADd8/7bhRhE5nKjE/s1600-h/miramax%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none;

Perhaps most importantly, it serves as a nicely timed reminder that unlike Google+, Facebook encourages companies to use its service for company branding. </p> <p>"Facebook allows small businesses to create rich social experiences, build lasting relationships and amplify the most powerful type of marketing, word of mouth," a Facebook spokesperson wrote in an email. "We created Facebook.com/business to make it even easier for people to reach these objectives and grow." </p> <p>This represents the second time in a month that Facebook has followed Google+ news with its own feature launch. Earlier in July, Facebook announced a partnership withSkype to bring video chat features within the social networking site, just one week after Google+ made waves with its own in-app video chat feature called Hangouts. </p> <div style="margin-top: 10px; height: 15px" class="zemanta-pixie"><img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; float: right; border-right-style: none" class="zemanta-pixie-img" alt="" src="http://img.zemanta.com/pixy.gif?x-id=d13dbc7f-5129-4340-b75b-960f55bab9c3" /></div> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4522177695072509925.post-49742948306388390712011-07-26T05:49:00.001-07:002011-07-26T05:49:50.440-07:00Carrie Underwood richest among all American Idols<div style="margin: 1em; display: block; float: left" class="zemanta-img"><a href="http://www.last.fm/music/Carrie%2BUnderwood" target="_blank"><img style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; display: block; border-top: medium none; border-right: medium none" alt="Carrie Underwood" src="http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/126/36882087.png" /></a> <p style="font-size: 0.8em" class="zemanta-img-attribution">Cover of <a href="http://www.last.fm/music/Carrie%2BUnderwood" target="_blank">Carrie Underwood</a></p> </div> <p>Singer Carrie Underwood has been named the highest earning American Idol contestant by Forbes magazine.</p> <p>Since winning the season 4 American Idol, Underwood has released two full albums and become a Broadway star as her albums becoming hot seller of the year and earned enough to start her own clothing line.</p> <p>The 28-year-old singer earned over $20 million in the last year alone, which is equal to five most successful Idol alumni combined.</p> <p>“American Idol kick-started me in my career.

All these will be accessible on Roku player that will be launched in this summer, but the exact date is not known yet.

Roku will start selling games this summer through its Roku Channel Store similar to the Mac App Store and Amazon Appstore for Android.</p> <p>A box that is influential enough to stream high-definition video from the internet is being worked by Angry Birds but watching, how the control system obtains worked out will be interesting. For the control system, remote-over-Wi-Fi apps are ordinary with TV boxes these days but the problem is, not all people have smartphone. If remote’s 4-way control pad is utilized to shimmy the bird into position then “OK” button is pressed to allow it fly and if ‘OK’ button is pressed again, then birds perform special tricks in the air.</p> <p>At present, Angry Birds is accessible for users of Maemo, Android, Symbian, PC/Mac, Sony PS3/PSP, and Chrome Web Store.

In an attempt to strengthen its Android base, the company has just overhauled the Android marketplace with new look, new user interface and many new features. <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-Uh0Vv5ZJV0o/Th_HQ6ikfNI/AAAAAAAADag/dnSYsjz-JUU/s1600-h/Google-releases-new-Android-Market-for-Phones%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="Google-releases-new-Android-Market-for-Phones" alt="Google-releases-new-Android-Market-for-Phones" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-dn6NLJjfmvw/Th_HSF-n0lI/AAAAAAAADak/lCXJzUkZL7o/Google-releases-new-Android-Market-for-Phones_thumb%25255B5%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="407" height="235" /></a></p> <p>According to a Google blog, the new interface aims to better showcase top apps and games. There's an all new videos app that allows users to sign into Android Market with their Google account, and can rent movies from anywhere over the Web to view it on their Android phone or tablet. </p> <p>Google has also added books tab from Android Market on the phone. Like movie rentals, books are linked to Google account, so they are now available across all devices. However, Google Books and Movie rentals are currently offered in the US and some select regions only. </p> <p>On the Android Developers blog, Google revealed that smartphones running Android 2.2 (Froyo) and higher will be ready for upgrade soon. Apart from an improved showcase for apps and games, the overhauled Android Market brings in an improved user interface (UI), smooth navigation and provides a clutter-free downloading or purchasing products. <div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; width: 405px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:5737277B-5D6D-4f48-ABFC-DD9C333F4C5D:8057a795-1e48-49a8-9cf2-75033dd113e7" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent"><div><object width="405" height="227"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/roGGgsEJUZU?hl=en&hd=1"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/roGGgsEJUZU?hl=en&hd=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="405" height="227"></embed></object></div></div></p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4522177695072509925.post-73831579282217192642011-07-10T02:37:00.001-07:002011-07-10T02:37:39.783-07:00Big Brother 13 tops TV ratings on Thursday<div style="margin: 1em; width: 167px; display: block; float: right" class="zemanta-img"><a href="http://www.crunchbase.com/company/nielsen"><img style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; display: block; border-top: medium none; border-right: medium none" alt="Image representing Nielsen as depicted in Crun..." src="http://www.crunchbase.com/assets/images/resized/0001/9309/19309v2-max-450x450.png" width="157" height="72" /></a> <p style="font-size: 0.8em" class="zemanta-img-attribution">Image via <a href="http://www.crunchbase.com/">CrunchBase</a></p> </div> <p>The 13th edition of Big Brother is back with bang on Thursday.

But access to the service, which lets people share photos, links, status updates and video chats with groups of friends, is already in high demand among early adopters who are eager to play with its features. <br />That includes Zuckerberg, who apparently signed up to keep tabs on his new adversary. Neither Facebook nor Google confirmed whether Zuckerberg's profile was real. But his account is linked with those of several Facebook executives who are also on Google+, including Bret Taylor, the chief technology officer, and Sam Lessin, a product manager, suggesting that it is authentic. <br />Zuckerberg has yet to post anything that can be seen by the wider public. His own description on his profile page says simply, "I make things." </p> <div style="margin-top: 10px; height: 15px" class="zemanta-pixie"><a class="zemanta-pixie-a" title="Enhanced by Zemanta" href="http://www.zemanta.com/"><img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; float: right; border-right-style: none" class="zemanta-pixie-img" alt="Enhanced by Zemanta" src="http://img.zemanta.com/zemified_e.png?x-id=4431c46a-da7e-4283-b7a1-d56f194a9237" /></a></div> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
