New Google chrome ready and coming soon

Software developers working on Google's popular Chrome browser are testing "radical" changes to its appearance.

Sources close to the company said the address bar currently takes up a significant amount of space that could be used for web browsing. One plan being considered would mean it was only visible when users made their mouse pointer hover over a specific part of the screen, the Telegraph reports.

The new "compact" navigation mode, described on the Chromium website as one of two key focuses for development, would take the web address bar out of each tab, releasing more screen space to display web pages.

Microsoft's Internet Explorer 9, which is available in a nearly final pre-release version, adopts a similar approach already. Chrome, however, is thought to be planning a significantly more stripped down version, working towards releasing almost the entire screen for web browsing.

More than 120 million users now use Google Chrome, which has been heavily advertised by Google. The company is also working on a 'Chrome OS' rival to Microsoft Windows.

Google updates Chrome every six weeks, but major upgrades tend to be far less frequent.

Nokia windows Phones to become cheaper

Prices of smartphones using Microsoft's Windows Phone software platform will fall fast, Nokia's chief executive Stephen Elop said. 

Last week Nokia, the world's largest phone maker by volume, said it would adopt Microsoft's software across its smartphones, raising fears the firm would miss out during the transition on surging demand for cheaper smartphone models.. 

Elop said one of the key topics in the talks on doing a deal with Microsoft was convincing Nokia that it could reach "a very low price point." 

"We have become convinced that we can do that very quickly," Chief Executive Stephen Elop said in a meeting with Finnish business journalists. Trying to better compete with Apple's iPhone, Microsoft has so far had tight hardware requirements for phone models using its software -- pushing up handset prices and limiting the potential market. 

As part of the push to a wider market and lower prices, Microsoft plans to open its mobile platform to other chipset suppliers beyond Qualcomm. 

Nokia's shares dropped more than 20 per cent after it announced the Microsoft deal, but industry executives have said the new alliance will be good for competition and innovation. 

Elop said the final agreement between Nokia and Microsoft would be signed in the next few months. 

"The conclusion of the agreement will happen, we think, quite quickly, measured in a couple of months, it may be a bit longer, it may be shorter," he said. 

Elop, who joined Nokia from Microsoft last September said he sold all his Microsoft shares on Feb. 17 and has bought 150,000 shares in Nokia. The Canadian is the first non-Finn to head the firm

Ronaldo to announce retirement

Three-time football player of the year Ronaldo was expected to end his career Monday, Brazilian media reported.

The 34-year-old striker for Sao Paulo's Corinthians was to announce the move at a press conference, the Estado de Sao Paulo newspaper reported online.

"I would like to continue, but I can't. I can no longer bear it. It is time. But it has been wonderful," he was quoted as saying.

His contract runs until 2011, but Ronaldo has been criticized by fans after the Corinthians fell out of the Copa Libertadores, South America's largest football tournament, in the first round.

Windows set to charge Nokia smartphones now

NOKIA,the worlds largest mobile phone maker,said ON 11-02-2011, it was slashing jobs and joining forces with US giant Microsoft in a major strategy shake-up that left investors disappointed.In an effort to radically change course and fight off encroaching competition from RIM,Apple and Google,CEO Stephen Elop said Windows Phone would now serve as the companys primary smartphone platform.Elopa former Microsoft executive who in September became the first non-Finn to lead Nokiaalso announced changes to Nokias executive board and substantial job cuts.
Nokia is at a critical juncture,where significant change is necessary and inevitable in our journey forward, Elop said.There will be substantial reductions in employment in various locations around the world, he told a press briefing in London,without giving further details.
The announcements were met with sharp disappointment on the stock market,with investors expecting more and in more detail than they got.Nokia tumbled more than 9% and the Helsinki Stock Exchange was down 0.56%
The biggest change by far for Nokia is its tacit admission that its Symbian operating platform has failed to become competitive,illustrated by its bold move to take on Microsofts mobile platform for its smartphones.
I think there was a recognition that for something to effectively compete and ultimately win against Android and iPhone,it would require some big muscle, Elop said at a joint news conference with Microsoft CEO Steven Ballmer.
The choice to adopt Microsoft Phone is a controversial one as the platform has also not done so well against Googles Android or the iPhone.Espirito Santo Investment Bank said the Windows operating system had failed to gain traction and that a partnership with Google would have been a better choice.

Industrial growth hits 20-month low at 1.6%

INDIAS industrial growth slowed to a 20-month low in December because of a sharp contraction in the capital goods sector and the base effect of last years high growth.
The factory output growth,as measured by the Index of Industrial Production (IIP),rose just 1.6% in December from the year before,data released on Friday showed.
But experts flagged inflation as a bigger concern,tipping the central bank to lift rates further to curb demand even at the risk of depressing investment activity further.
Production of capital goods contracted 13.7% year-onyear after rising 12.8% in November.Manufacturing output grew 1% from the year ago compared with 3.2% in the previous month.
IIP numbers are very unfortunate and it is disappointing, Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee said.But it was on expected lines as it (the IIP) is on yearly basis.
Stock markets largely ignored the IIP data with the benchmark Sensex rebounding to close with a gain of 265 points.Bond yields remained mostly unchanged.
The data released on Friday may also have been depressed by the comparison with the whopping 18% growth in industrial output in December 2009.
Output at mines grew 3.8% year-onyear as against 7.4% in November.Electricity output was up at 6% compared with 4.6% in the previous month.
But inflation seems to be a bigger concern now.While there is deceleration in growth,inflation is the bigger problem, Citi economist Rohini Malkani said in a note on Friday.
Between April and December 2010,manufacturing rose 7.7% against 8.7% in the year-ago period.This could fall further on the high base effect and if interest rates are increased again.
The drop in manufacturing output could push down,albeit marginally,the overall economic growth for 2010-11.
This (decline) could impact the contribution of the Central Statistics Offices recently-released 8.6% GDP estimate for FY11,with agriculture likely to offset lower industry, Malkani said in her note.
However,Goldman Sachs economists Tushar Poddar and Vishal Vaibhaw disagreed.Lower industrial production data from the past two months show that activity is moderating, they said in a note.

Private ATM -Yours own ATM...

Rajesh Jethpuria doesn't own a bank, but that didn't stop him from buying an automated teller machine (ATM) to celebrate Dhanteras! Inspired by a banker friend, the 38-year-old businessman made the Rs 7 lakh purchase on Wednesday, becoming India's first individual owner of an ATM.

``We worship Goddess Laxmi on Dhanteras. So I booked an ATM last Friday," said Jethpuria, who runs a construction and interior decoration enterprise in upscale Maharana Pratap Nagar. ``I told my wife it was legal and the beginning of a new business for me. We finalized the deal on Dhanteras. The manufacturer, Ezee Rupee ATM, gave me the papers today. I plan to buy five more.''

India needs one million ATMs but has only 65,000 machines. The State Bank of India has 20,000 ATMs while the remaining 35 banks have 45,000. In 2005, the RBI, as part of its liberalization policy, cleared outsourcing of ATMs because their maintenance was between Rs 1 lakh to Rs 1.5 lakh per month.

``A lot of money goes into ATMs. Banks don't want to take up this burden. If entrepreneurs take the responsibility of running ATMs, it will ease the financial burden on banks,'' said a Bhopal-based Bank of India officer, who requested anonymity.

Manish Mathur, director of Ezee Rupee, a Canada-based ATM manufacturing company, said his firm was in touch with four major banks, both private and government-owned, to set up such ATMs in Indore, Surat and Ahmedabad. By February 2011, Mathur said, hundreds of such ATMs will be operational. ``Jethpuria bought the first machine. But there are at least 10 other people buying ATMs from us in the next two days,'' Mathur said. ``We are corresponding with banks, which will choose buyers according to their locations.''

According to RBI rules, the money in the ATM will belong to the bank. The vendor or owner of the ATM will maintain the set-up and get a commission on each transaction. ``The national average on each ATM is 260 transactions per day, depending on the location and bank. I've bought the machine investing Rs 7 lakh. Now my only dream is to have SBI pick my ATM. I hope Goddess Laxmi grants this wish as well.''

``In India, the ATM network is small and exorbitant. So far, it was either the banks maintaining ATMs or third party service providers like Euronet Worldwide. Ours is a new business model where an individual owns the ATM and makes money with every transaction,'' said Cris Chandler, MD of Ezee Rupee.

The idea came to Jethpuria when a banker friend told him that along with his business, he could install an ATM. He said the concept was in practice in America and Europe where it's called White Label ATMs. ``I can install it in my shop or any location with a 16 sq ft space. A bank can sign a five-year contract with me and sponsor the machine,'' Jethpuria explained.

Thomas Edison 164th birthday marked by Google doodle

Thomas Edison, the American inventor, has been commemorated on his 164th birthday by a Google doodle displaying some of his greatest inventions.

n the image, which replaces the usual multicoloured Google logo on its homepage, diagrams of some of Thomas Edison's greatest inventions are used to represent the characters in the company's name.

Clicking on the montage, which includes the electric lightbulb, the phonograph and the motion picture camera, takes web users to a search results page for Edison.

It is visible to users across the world, including those in Britain, France, Germany, India and Canada.

Edison is known for his remarkable contribution to modern life, especially in the field of communications, and held more than 1,000 patents in America.

His inventions included electrical power, recorded music, motion pictures, a stock ticker and an electric car battery.

The doodle is the latest example of the search engine altering its well-known logo to commemorate special events, anniversaries and birthdays.

It appeared just days after a similar image was used to celebrate the 183rd birthday of the science fiction writer Jules Verne.

Doodles have also been produced for the birthdays of Andy Warhol, Louis Braille, HG Wells, Michael Jackson, Samuel Morse and Roald Dahl.

Google is estimated to have used more than 900 doodles since 1998, including almost 300 last year, though many of these would only have been visible in certain countries.
