			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>APC <em>by Schneider Electric,</em> a global leader in critical power and cooling services, today launched BR600CI-IN &#8211; a high performance, value-for-money 600VA PC UPS, perfect for the home and SOHO environments and harsh Indian power conditions.<a rel="attachment wp-att-20543" href="http://readit.in/technology-news/computer-hardware/2010/09/apc-launches-600va-back-ups/attachment/15932-small1/"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-20543" title="15932.small[1]" src="http://readit.in/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/15932.small1_.jpg" alt="" width="127" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>The new BR600CI-IN UPS specifically addresses <strong>uninterrupted computing </strong>needs of Indian PC users. According to a recent IMRB survey one in every four urban households today owns a PC. Numerous studies also indicate that on an average, users spend a minimum of 2-4 hours daily on their personal computer working on documents, surfing, e-mailing, networking, sharing digital photos, blogging, downloading music/videos from the internet and enjoying conveniences of online trading, banking and bill payments. However power cuts continue to be an expensive interruption to this increased dependence on the PC. Every major city in the country is today seriously challenged when it comes to continuous power supply. Harmful power fluctuations also result in critical data loss, burnt motherboard, hard disk crash, monitor failure or keyboard lock ups.</p>
<p>The <strong>new BR600CI-IN UPS </strong>guarantees peace of mind by <strong>protecting sensitive electronics </strong>of a PC from extreme voltage fluctuation through its <strong>&#8216;Automatic Voltage Regulation&#8217; </strong>feature.</p>
<p><strong>It also enables </strong>customers to enjoy <strong>21 minutes of reliable backup time </strong>due to superior best-in-class battery<strong>, </strong>so that they can continue to surf, chat, email and download even through power cuts</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At this year’s IFA, LG Electronics (LG) is showing participants at the  2010 IFA tradeshow how it’s staying ahead of the 3D curve. Showcasing a  range that includes everything from the very latest in NANO FULL LED and  Plasma TVs, to Home Theater Systems and Blu-ray Disc™ Players, to the  only complete selection of 3D projectors, LG is embracing the 3D  revolution with products that offer the perfect 3D entertainment  experience for every occasion and every setting.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-20431" href="http://readit.in/technology-news/2010/08/complete-3d-complete-pleasure-lg-showcases-a-full-range-of-3d-devices-for-supreme-3d-experience/attachment/plasma/"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-20431" src="http://readit.in/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/plasma.jpg" alt="" width="243" height="208" /></a>FULL LED and  Plasma 3D TVs: The Ultimate 3D Viewing Experience<br />
By releasing  market-leading sets in an array of different versions, LG is offering  customers 3D TVs that are ideally suited to their needs. Top of the  range is LG’s new LEX8, the world’s slimmest (0.88cm) and narrowest  bezel (1.25cm) FULL LED TV. In a world first for the TV industry, the  LEX8 adds NANO Lighting Technology to LG’s FULL LED backlighting to  produce pictures that are brighter, clearer and smoother than ever  before. Also on show are the new LEX9, which boasts the biggest LED LCD  screen yet at a mouth-watering 72 inches, and the LX9500, the world’s  first FULL LED 3D TV, which was unveiled at the Consumer Electronics  Show in Las Vegas earlier this year.</p>
<p>With an array of LED  backlights behind the screen, LG’s FULL LED 3D TVs deliver brightness  that draws out the sharpest 3D images on the market. While the entire  FULL LED 3D TV range comes with localized dimming, the LEX8’s dimming  function – called Micro Pixel Control – is LG’s most advanced yet,  delivering a wide and rich array of colors that produce even more  gripping 3D pictures. Complementing their outstanding brightness, the  LEX8, LEX9 and LX9500 also come with TruMotion 400Hz, which provides an  ultra-fast screen refresh rate for the most comfortable 3D images.  Completing the effect, the narrow bezel INFINIA Design lets the 3D  images practically burst out of the screen, for an astonishingly  immersive viewing experience.</p>
<p>Alongside a spectacular 180-inch  Plasma 3D TV prototype, LG is also displaying the PX950N, its first  Plasma 3D TV and the first TV in the world to receive 3D THX  Certification, the ultimate recognition for cinema-quality 3D on a TV.  For a truly outstanding 3D picture, 600Hz Max Sub-field Driving ensures  smooth viewing of even the fastest action sequences, while LG’s 3D Panel  phases out light faster to produce images that are practically blur  free.</p>
<p>What’s more, the Plasma set’s self-illuminating pixels  enable a wider viewing angle, meaning viewers can see complete, smooth  3D images wherever they choose to sit or even lie down in the living  room. In addition, the PX950N supports the Multi Picture Format (MPF)  function, enabling users to connect their 3D cameras to the TV and view  their 3D pictures directly on the big screen.</p>
<p>Along with the FULL  LED models, the PX950N provides effortless, seamless connectivity  through NetCast™, DLNA certification and a wireless AV link. With these  functions, viewers will have access to a growing range of 3D movies and  shows, whether they’re online or stored in home digital libraries.</p>
<p>3D  Blu-ray Home Theater Systems: Immersive Sound and Vision<br />
Delivering  the pinnacle of sound quality, LG’s HX995TZ and HLX55W offer a perfect  platform for 3D movies and immersive, cinematic sound, along with the  connectivity options of NetCast™ and DLNA.</p>
<p>Leading the way is the  HX995TZ, a top-of-the-range Blu-ray Home Theater System whose exquisite  wall-mountable design blends right in with practically any environment.  With 1,100 watts of output, the HX995TZ delivers a truly room-filling  sound. For consumers looking for the 3D Home Theater experience on a  slightly smaller scale, LG also offers the HX995DF, with 2.1 Ch and 560  watts of output.<br />
Cutting a more compact but no less enticing figure  is LG’s HLX55W 3D Blu-ray sound bar. Comprising a stylish single black  bar with a vertical Blu-ray Disc™ Player in its center, the HLX55W  delivers 3D Blu-ray Disc™ Playback accompanied by 430-watt audio output  and 4.1 Ch full surround sound. Rounding out the home theater systems is  the new HX900, LG’s first Real 3D Sound Home Theater System, which  embraces a completely new concept in home audio to produce a sound as  deep and life-like as any 3D image.</p>
<p>3D Blu-ray Disc™ Players:  Perfect Playback, Fabulous Features<br />
LG has also beefed up its video  equipment with three superb 3D-friendly models, the HR550, the BD590 and  the BX580. Along with Blu-ray Disc™ Playback that is equally  outstanding in 2D or 3D, the HR550 comes with built-in DVB-T/C/S tuners  that eliminate the need for a digital set-top box. The tuners also make  it possible for viewers to record a show or movie on one channel –  including in 3D – while simultaneously watching a Blu-ray disc. For  people who don’t need so much storage space, the BD590 offers all the  same superb functions as the HR550, with the sole exception of built-in  HDD.</p>
<p>Also a perfect fit for LG’s 3D TV range, the BX580 lets  users enjoy a variety of 3D content in the Blu-ray format, while  retaining outstanding 2D playback as well. In common with the HR550, the  BX580 is also equipped with the superb connectivity options of NetCast™  and DLNA.</p>
<p>3D Projectors: Bringing 3D Cinema Home<br />
Increasing  the 3D options still further, LG’s two 3D projectors – the only  selection to offer both Dynamic and CINEMA 3D – bring all the wonder of  the 3D cinema experience into the home.</p>
<p>The world’s first  one-body, dual-engine CINEMA 3D projector transmitting FULL HD pictures,  the CF3D can project an exceptional 2D or 3D picture with a diagonal  span that stretches up to 200 inches. With TruMotion 100Hz practically  eliminating image blur and 3D Auto Picture Calibration creating optimal  brightness and color, the CF3D delivers a crisp, stunning blur-free  picture. The CF3D also comes with six free pairs of glasses, meaning  users can comfortably watch its wall-covering 3D projection in the  company of family and friends.</p>
<p>Also at this year’s IFA is the  BX327, a Dynamic 3D-type (DLP Link 3D Technology) 3D Projector with a  picture boasting a diagonal span of up to 150 inches. Delivering the  outstanding brightness of 3,200 ANSI-lumens and the superb colors and  contrast of 0.55” DMD, the BX327 also produces a beautifully sharp 2D or  3D picture with crisp, perfectly aligned edges. Also, among projectors  using DLP Link 3D Technology, the BX327 is the only one with HDMI,  meaning users can enjoy 3D images without 3D-compatible graphic cards.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>LG Electronics (LG) announced today that it has joined the Electronics  Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC), aligning with a coalition of  global electronics companies, software makers and service providers to  promote an industry code of conduct to improve working and environmental  conditions and to adopt corpo-rate social responsibility (CSR) best  practices.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-20400" href="http://readit.in/technology-news/2010/08/lg-elevating-corporate-social-responsibility-through-jeong-do-management/attachment/lg-2/"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-20400" src="http://readit.in/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/LG.jpg" alt="" width="293" height="172" /></a>Aligned with global industry leaders such as IBM and  HP, the latest initiative by LG follows on the heels of the company’s  participation in the United Nations Global Com-pact (UNGC), a UN-led  strategic policy initiative which LG joined in December that commits  signatories to initiate programs that promote social responsibility.  LG’s latest move is further indication of the company’s determination to  give CSR a greater role in its worldwide operations.</p>
<p>“EICC  involvement is another example of LG putting into practice its  philosophy of Jeong-do Management, our unique code-of-conduct system for  conducting business in a transparent and honest manner,” said Young-kee  Kim, Executive Vice President and Chief Relations Officer of LG  Electronics. “The success of a company rings hollow if workers and  suppliers aren’t treated with respect and dignity, and management  doesn’t set a good example for tomorrow’s leaders.”</p>
<p>In order to  bring its global practices in line with the EICC Code of Conduct – which  fo-cuses significantly on issues related to labor, health and safety,  environment, manage-ment systems and ethics – LG has already implemented  a range of measures to improve its CSR management systems at home and  abroad.</p>
<p>Toward the end of the year, LG will introduce a Supplier  Code of Conduct consistent with EICC standards for its suppliers to  follow if they wish to continue their business relationship with LG. In  2011, LG will also offer its contractors training and consulting as they  move to adopt management practices consistent with EICC guidelines. As  part of EICC recommendations, LG will play an even greater role in the  operations of its suppliers by sharing best practices, promoting CSR  initiatives and helping to develop social responsibility strategies.</p>

True to its TUF Series form, the SABERTOOTH X58 offers superior stability and reliability, putting it at the level of server and mainframe boards in terms of durability.</p>
<p><strong><em> </em></strong><strong>ASUS SABERTOOTH X58 Motherboard</strong></p>
<p><strong><em> </em></strong>On the launch of the SABERTOOTH X58 Motherboard, Mr. Vinay Shetty &#8211; Country Manager, Component Business at ASUS (India) said, &#8220;The SABERTOOTH 55i motherboard launched by ASUS in 2009 received an overwhelming response from Indian consumers. With the introduction of the extra tough and ultra durable X58 Motherboard we will reinforce our offering in the TUF series of ASUS motherboards. The SABERTOOTH X58 is a military grade motherboard and its strengths lie in its extremely durable make along with the inclusion of new data transfer standards USB 3.0 and SATA 6GB/s ensuring no compromise in its features.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With its widespread application of modern technologies such as fibre optics, wireless transmission, digitalisation and satellite services, Malaysia has one of the more advanced telecom networks in the developing world. Of course, the country has a national objective to see Malaysia ranked as a fully developed country by the year 2020. This Vision 2020 was a concept introduced by the former Prime Minister Mr Mahathir in 1991 when he launched the Sixth Malaysia Plan. In other words, the task of building an advanced telecom sector has had strong links to national pride; certainly for a period in the 1990s the country was busy promoting itself as a regional high technology hub. In recent times, however, it has adopted a quieter profile and simply gone about the task of putting what might be described as a technologically progressive economy in place.<br />
<a rel="attachment wp-att-20127" href="http://readit.in/business-news/2010/08/chinaccmmalaysia-telecoms-mobile-and-broadband/attachment/logo1-13/"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-20127" title="logo[1]" src="http://readit.in/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/logo16.jpg" alt="" width="139" height="50" /></a><br />
The generally strong growth across the country&#8217;s telecom sector inevitably brought with it a flurry of investment interest and activity. The telecommunications market in Malaysia has experienced privatisation in all facets of the industry and a general opening up of the market with a significant number of new licences being granted. While still in an expansion phase the Malaysia&#8217;s telecom sector has undergone some important restructuring. This has involved the regulator progressively introducing reforms. In the meantime, the telecom companies have been doing battle in an increasingly competitive and changing market. It is true to say that the last decade has seen healthy overall growth in Malaysia&#8217;s telecom sector. At the same time, substantial government participation in Information &amp; Communications Technology (ICT) development has also been a particular characteristic of the Malaysian market.</p>
<p>The developmental effort in the telecom sector has been led by a booming mobile market with more than 30 million subscribers and a penetration of 106% at the start of 2010. This meant Malaysia had the second highest mobile penetration in South East Asia after Singapore. Malaysians have been big adopters of SMS, with an estimated 100 billion SMS having been sent during 2009. More recently, there has been a major push into the area of 3G services with around 21% of the total mobile subscriber base being 3G subscribers by end-2009.<br />
The fixed-line market by contrast has moved along a much more subdued path with 4.3 million subscribers (15% penetration) by end-2009. And there were no early signs that the fixed-line market was going to start expanding again, this despite the government still having some rather ambitious targets in place. Fixed lines nevertheless have remained an important element in the building of a national telecom infrastructure.</p>
<p>The adoption of the Internet has been happening at a reasonable rate, although slower than expected given the emphasis that the government has been placing on ICT development. In fact, it was not until 2008 that high speed broadband access to the Internet really started to build in a serious fashion. By early 2010, Internet subscriber numbers has passed the six million mark; of these around 45% had broadband access. The Malaysian broadband market has continued to be dominated by services based on Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) technology and incumbent Telekom Malaysia has been the dominant service provider. A major boost to the broadband strategy for the country came in 2008 when the government selected Telekom Malaysia to roll out a National Broadband Network (NBN). In what was referred to locally as the High-Speed Broadband (HSBB) project, Telekom Malaysia started building a fibre-based open system; however, it was not required to offer open access to this network until 2015. The first stage of the HSBB network was launched in early 2010.</p>
<p>Malaysia has also been continuing to develop its multi-billion dollar Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) project. Although the project has become much lower key than previously, the government says it has been meeting its MSC targets, with more than 2,000 companies already involved, and it has well and truly achieved the status of a thriving global ICT hub.<br />
Market highlightsaround 106% of Malaysia&#8217;s 29 million people had a mobile telephone service by early 2010;the launch of 3G mobile networks by Telekom Malaysia and Maxis in late 2005 initially saw slow growth in next generation subscriptions;however, by end-2009 there were 6.5 million 3G subscribers signed up, meaning that already one out of every five mobile subscribers was a 3G customer;after surprisingly little interest in broadband Internet for many years, Malaysia&#8217;s broadband penetration had finally started to move in 2008/09;however, broadband subscriber penetration in Malaysia still only represented 9% of the population by end-2009;with the government having launched its strategy for building a National Broadband Network in 2008 by awarding the key contract to Telkom Malaysia, work was proceeding on the High-Speed Broadband project;Telekom Malaysia announced the launch of its HSBB service in early 2010, with the operator offering bandwidth at access speeds of 10Mb/s;whilst the initial phase of the HSBB was to see rapid coverage of major cities and towns, nationwide impementation of project was expected to take 10 years;growth in Malaysia&#8217;s fixed-line services has continued to &#8216;flat-line&#8217; with a fixed-line penetration of around 15%.Malaysia: -key telecom parameters-2009-2010<br />
