TATA Aria

6 January 2010 Steve 1 comment
Xover what we called till now has been rechristened the Aria by Tata and will be a premium, spacious MPV.
The lines at the front are as the  Tata Indica Vista and the Indigo Manza. There is nothing intresting about the new vehicle as the design, but it sure looks good and a sensible machine.
Powered by a 2.2 –litre DICOR engine, the Aria will have 140 horses and 320Nm of twist. Transmission will be done by a newly developed 5-speed system which also features a ‘torque on demand’ 4×4. The interior looks nice – much better than the Tata machines available.  The quality and finish of plastics leaves quite ok.  The Aria is big on space, and the price will create waves in the MUV vehicles market.
Traction control, six airbags, ABS with EBD and rain sensing wipers are things that have been unheard on any Indian vehicle. Apart from these features, the Aria will come loaded with luxury features such as climate control cruise control, electronic trip computer and loads of other gadgets.
If price sounds good the Aria is capable of winning the market share from the premium MUVs & SUVs.

xPUD – Linux

1 January 2010 Steve Leave a comment

xPUD is an unique Linux distribution, consisting mainly of a web browser and a media player, with a simple user interface on top. It can turn your computer into a kiosk-like station by leveraging web technologies, making surfing and watching movies as easy as pie.

It’s fast, on average booting within 10 seconds and it’s small, too. Core image is weighing in at under 35MB, yet it still remains binary compatible with most major Linux distributions like Ubuntu or Fedora. So xPUD can not only be a great platform to deliver Web Apps, but it’s also suitable for use on Netbooks or All-in-one PCs.

the main goals in this project:

  • lightweight and fast booting
  • applications for daily use
  • easy-to-use user interface

Z-push

13 December 2009 Steve Leave a comment
Mobile data synchronization is becoming increasingly important for many people, and various standards have arisen to perform this two-way copying ‘over-the-air’. The most important platforms that can do wireless synchronisation are ActiveSync that is used to communicate with Exchange Server and Research-in-Motion’s BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES). Both solutions require proprietary server-side software from the vendor, therefore limiting the use of PIMs (personal information managers) to either wired synchronization or irritating 3rd-party synchronizers requiring the installation of client software on the PDA.
This is where Open source Z-Push comes in; it is an implementation of Microsoft’s ActiveSync protocol which is used ‘over-the-air’ for multi platform active sync devices, including Windows Mobile and active sync used on Apple’s iPhone, Sony Ericsson and Nokia phones. Open source Z-Push enables any PHP-based groupware package to become fully syncable with any ActiveSync-compliant device.
Being an opensource project under the GPL, it allows developers to add their own backend so that Z-Push can communicate with their groupware solution.
Currently, Z-Push is available with four backends: the IMAP and the maildir backend for e-mail synchronisation, the vCard backend for contact synchronisation and one for the Zarafa package which allows full synchronization of E-mail, Calendar, Contacts and Tasks.
