Apple releases Lion Recovery Disk Assistant

Apple on Monday released a utility that builds a Lion recovery disk on a USB flash drive, giving users a way to restore their Macs if the machine's hard drive fails completely.

The Lion Recovery Disk Assistant is a free download, and requires a flash or "thumb" drive of 1GB or more, or an external drive connected to the Mac via a USB cable and port.

"This drive can be used in the event you cannot start your computer with the built-in Recovery HD, or you have replaced the hard drive with a new one that does not have Mac OS X installed," Apple explained in an accompanying support document.Unlike previous editions of Mac OS X, Lion is available only as a digital download, so its recovery "disk" is actually a separate partition on the drive. That's sufficient for restoring the active partition that contains Lion, applications and data, but would be worthless if the hard drive itself dies.

Many Windows PCs use the same strategy, relying on a recovery partition rather than bundling a CD or DVD recovery disc. Typically, those machines offer tools that can create a physical recovery disc on the user's own media.On the newest Macs -- the recently-revamped MacBook Air and Mac Mini -- Lion also offers an online road to recovery. Dubbed "Lion Internet Recovery," it lets users start their Mac directly from Apple's servers even when the system won't properly boot. The online approach, however, isn't available on older systems, like those that have been upgraded from Snow Leopard.While do-it-yourself techniques for creating a Lion recovery disk -- usually on a flash drive -- have circulated on the Internet, this is the first time Apple's provided its own utility.

To use the recovery disk, Lion owners must reboot the Mac while holding down the Option key while the flash drive is plugged into a USB port or the external USB drive is connected to the computer.A recovery disk created on a Mac upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion can be used with any similar system, but one built on a machine that came with Lion pre-installed only works with that Mac.

Acer is planning to launch Ultrabook Laptop in this october to compete with MacBook Air

Acer plans to rival the MacBook Air this October with a new 13.3-inch Ultrabook laptop featuring Intel Core Sandy Bridge chips, longer battery life, and solid-state or hard disk storage options, according to the latest rumors. The supposed Acer Aspire 3951 is clearly a MacBook Air-inspired device including design choices such as silver aluminum casing, large trackpad, and chiclet keyboard. Images of the purported new laptop recently leaked online through the Vietnamese site Sohoa.

Rumored specs for the Aspire 3951 include the previously mentioned 13.3-inch display (no word on resolution), Sandy Bridge Core i processors, 6 hours of battery life, 30 days of standby time, less than two seconds of response time from sleep, Bluetooth 4.0, HDMI and USB ports, Dolby Home Theater sound, and a card reader. Storage options include a 160GB SSD or an HDD with either 250GB or 500GB capacity. The new laptop reportedly measures about 0.51 inches thick (the Air measure 0.68-inches at its thickest point) and weighs less than 3.10 pounds. No word on pricing, but Ultrabooks are supposed to be priced at less than $1,000.
 
All about Ultrabooks  

Intel in May announced a new class of ultraportable laptops called Ultrabooks that would feature longer battery life, be less than 0.8-inches thick and priced at less than $1,000. The first round of Ultrabooks should hit shelves this fall with Sandy Bridge Core i5 or i7 laptops. In early 2012, the new laptop class will switch over to Ivy Bridge chips -- Intel's follow-up to Sandy Bridge and the first Intel chips to use the company's new 22-nanometer (nm) manufacturing technology.  

So far, only Asus has officially announced an Ultrabook called the UX21. Asus' ultraportable laptop shares similar features to the rumored Aspire 3951, especially when it comes to design. Asus' 2.4-pound laptop has a unibody design, measures 0.67-inches at its thickest point, and can support up to a Core i7 processor. The UX21 features an 11.6-inch display with 1366-by-768 resolution, glass trackpad, mini-HDMI, one USB 2.0 port, and one USB 3.0.

Just like the rumored Aspire 3951, the UX21 is very much inspired by the MacBook Air, which is nice if you're a Windows user looking for something sleek to tote around town. But considering Apple's current suit against Samsung over ripping off the iPhone's look and feel, you have to wonder how the Mac maker will react to two (and possibly more) Air clones hitting store shelves by the end of the year.

A new technology is here, In-car innovation for mobile devices : Steer Safe steering wheel dock

Steer Safe is based on the idea that using your mobile device while driving can be safer, its basically a dock that is attached to the top of your steering wheel. By doing so, the designers believe driving will be safer as you’ll be able to keep your eyes on the road and won’t need to look towards either side to stare at your sat nav or find out who’s calling you while you’re busy driving.

The Steer Safe dock will universally fit almost any device shaped like a mobile phone ie iOS devices, BlackBerries, Android smartphones as well as mp3 players.

it also lets you rotate your device onto landscape mode in case you need it for turn by turn navigation. The good thing is I suppose its not very obstructive and it won’t hit your knees when you turn, but many will probably take abit of time to get used to as most of us aren’t used to having something stuck in the top-center of our wheel.

Samsung is going to launch Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in India as Samsung Galaxy Tab 750.

The next big bomb from Samsung - Galaxy Tab 10.1 is coming to India. This tablet will launch on 10th August 2011 as Samsung Galaxy Tab 750.

Samsung claims this tablet as the lightest and thinnest tablet ever launched in the market. Samsung Galaxy Tab 750 titled to be a perfect contender of Apple iPad 2. Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is a global marketing name for the product P7500. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 signifies the device has a 10.1 inch screen. But, the name insisted by the company Tab 750 must have some logic behind. Similarly, the company announced an 8.9 inch tablet along with this device. But, the announcement has no word about the device.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 750 is powered by a 1Ghz Dual-core processor and the tablet looks very attractive. The tablet designed with 8.6mm thickness and claimed to be slimmer than Apple iPad 2. This device runs on Android OS v3.0 Honeycomb and comes with latest UI and widgets on the homescreen. There exists a dual camera, one with 3.2 megapixel and LED flash on the rear-side and the other with 2.0 megapixel placed on the front side. The slim size and Android experience are the only highlighting factors with this device.

Samsung will launch the device in two variants Wi-Fi only and Wi-Fi with 3G and the combination of 16GB, 32 GB and 64 GB. The tablet is expected to be priced around Rs.35000 to 40000. But, high pricing will inherently reduce the dominance in the market share.
