			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center"><strong>Now you can order your pizza via Facebook</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.iguides.org/news/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/pizz.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-304" style="margin: 5px" src="http://www.iguides.org/news/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/pizz.jpg" alt="" width="175" height="177" /></a>Now you can order your pizza directly while using FaceBook as Pizza Hut has unveiled a new application knowing people are too lazy these days.</p>
<p>Now aside from checking out what your friends are doing and when you are in mid-way through a poking frenzy while ninja-pirate baiting, you can order food as well.</p>
<p>Using Pizza Hut Interface (hmm clever act), you can order your pasta, pizza and chicken wings.</p>
<p>The new application can even remember what you had ordered last time and it means you need not to waste your time in disgusting deciding for yourself.<span id="more-303"></span></p>
<p>Pizza Hut has recently celebrated its millionth online pizza sale and it shows that more and more people are getting tired of using the phone. This new application will soon celebrates the new levels of laziness (it seems).</p>
<p>The app is currently available only in the US, but it will be available in the UK and other European countries very soon. So, you can enjoy your pizza using that app and all you need to do is to hop on your PC and get ordering if you can.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Intel (Nasdaq:I NTC) </strong>exhibited on Wednesday, the Centrino Atom family of low-power processors for mobile internet devices (MIDs)</p>
<p>A new class of inexpensive, simple Internet-centric computers named as “Netbooks” has been also announced that will be available in market later this year.</p>
<p>However, they will concentrate on Atom family whose technology forms a new single chip: the Intel system controller Hub that empowers PC-like qualities with composite graphics and a wireless radio.</p>
<p><span id="more-150"></span> <strong>Technical specification </strong></p>
<p>The Atom processor has been designed for small devices with low power consumption and based on a new micro-architecture design with Intel core 2 Duo instruction set, and controls multiple threads for better performance and increased system response<br />
In Intel developers’ conference in Shanghai, China, Intel revealed five new Atom processors. These Intel’s smallest processors are the fastest chips of today’s world with low power consumption as 3 watts. Their thermal design power (TDP) specification reaches the limit of 2.5 watts which is less than one-tenth the 35 watts TDP of the current mobile Core 2 Duo processors.</p>
<p>Many major processor design power management techniques like Intel Deep Power down technology, CMOS mode, and Split I/O power supply are behind that low power consumption.</p>
<p><strong>Side by side Processing:</strong></p>
<p>The new family supports hyper-threading technology, which lets the processor execute two instruction threads in parallel. Due to hyper-threading technology the processor can perform two instruction threads equally.</p>
<p>It has a smart cache, with a more efficient cache and bus design that enables more efficient data sharing; a power optimized front side bus rated at 533 MHz, with macro-ops fusion for faster execution of instructions at lower power. There is an enhanced data prefetcher which loads data likely to be requested by the processor into the level 2 cache.</p>
<p>The family supports Intel virtualization technology, a set of hardware enhancements that let users run dual operating systems and applications in independent partitions.\<br />
The new family helps Intel virtualization technology, a set of hardware enhancements that allow users run dual operating systems and applications in independent partions.</p>
<p><strong>The new family’s friends: </strong></p>
<p>The new family will support Web technologies, Wireless connectivity options like WiFi,Wi Max, Linux and astonishingly Windows XP and Windows Vista as well.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is good news and a bad news for everyone who is looking for better laptop options. The good news is that you can get a good, solid laptop for under $1,000 these days. The bad news for ‘<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsvista/default.mspx" title="Vista"><strong>Vista</strong></a>’ users is that majority of these cheap laptops coming with ‘Vista’ do not have sufficient resource base to run ‘Vista’ decently.</p>
<p align="center"> <a href="http://www.iguides.org/news/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/vista.jpg" title="Vista"><img src="http://www.iguides.org/news/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/vista.jpg" alt="Vista" /></a></p>
<p>Merrill Lynch predicted that “<strong>2007 would be the year that notebooks overtook desktops</strong>”. For some companies, like ‘<strong>Hewlett-Packard</strong>’, laptops have become the single most important revenue source.</p>
<p>There are two reasons associated closely with each other. Firstly, a PC vendor can make more profit on an under-$1,000 laptop than it would on a PC at the same cost. Secondly, with the availability of Wi-Fi almost everywhere and laptop prices falling below the magic $1,000 mark, more and more customers and businesses are shifting to laptops.</p>
<p><span id="more-46"></span> But the problem starts with Microsoft. The under-$1,000 laptops can&#8217;t run ‘Vista’ efficiently. In addition, ‘Vista’ in fact constitutes a large portion of a laptop&#8217;s cost.</p>
<p>Upgrading the hardware again loads cost. ‘<strong>Vista Home Basic</strong>’ is actually no better than a trash.</p>
<p>Users at large do not upgrade their basic laptops. Computer cost margins are razor-thin. If people want top-of-the-line laptop, vendors are happy to provide them at an appropriate price. But companies like ‘Dell’, ‘HP’, and ‘Acer’ know it very well and now they sell more of their cheaper systems than premium ones.</p>
<p>A cheap laptop normally has a gigabyte or less RAM and some kind of embedded graphics chip like an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 with 8MB to 64MB dynamically allocated shared graphics memory. ‘Vista’ on the other hand requires 2GB before it becomes usable, and there&#8217;s no point in even trying to run ‘Vista&#8217;s Aero interface’ with that low level of graphical horsepower.</p>
<p>Steven J. Vaughan says, “<strong>It doesn&#8217;t come to any surprise to me that Acer and Dell would both rather have you buy XP than Vista. Oh, I know, you&#8217;ll find those ‘Acer recommends Windows Vista Business for Business Computing’ labels and the like on their Web pages. But talk to the salespeople. You&#8217;ll find it fascinating how happy they are to direct you to XP</strong>”.</p>
<p>In reality, XP is more stable and works with more software and equipment than ‘Vista’ does. It costs the companies less in technical support.</p>
<p>Dell and few other small companies, like Asus with its tiny Eee PC 4G UMPC are also selling Linux-powered laptops. Vendors make even more upfront profit per unit for these sales.</p>
<p>Steven J. Vaughan makes further analysis and say,” that under-$500 Toshiba laptop with Home Basic? With 512MB of RAM and embedded Intel graphics, even the already mediocre Home Basic is still going to suck dead snakes through rusty tailpipes. Stick any Linux distribution on it; say ‘Fedora 8, gOS 1.02 or OpenSUSE 10.3’, and you&#8217;ve got a really useful laptop”.</p>
<p>Steven J.Vaughan says, “Do the math. Vista doesn&#8217;t work for today&#8217;s laptop market. XP and Linux do. It&#8217;s really that simple”.</p>
