Palm Pre is making big noise as REAL iPhone competitor and apparently it is designed by one of ex-Apple engineer !!!!   Can Apple really patent the Multi touch ? If it does what's the big deal for other manufacturers. Don't you think that patenting on Multitouch is something like patenting mouse device which i feel is general device and preventing others to replicate can have dangerous monopoly issues. Anyways .. read on!!!!!! For those of you who weren't listening in to Apple's earnings call today, you missed a prime moment of defensiveness when Tim Cook fielded a question about how the company plans to stay competitive amidst new entries from the likes of Google and, more recently, Palm. What seemed like an answer due to end with a "we've got some great new stuff on the way" slant, Cook dovetailed into how the company views its new smartphone competition. In his words: Q: "There are other iPhone competitors coming to the market: Android, Palm Pre...

CreateProcess() :   Creates a new process and its primary thread. The new process runs in the security context of the calling process. If the calling process is impersonating another user, the new process uses the token for the calling process, not the impersonation token. To run the new process in the security context of the user represented by the impersonation token, use the CreateProcessAsUser or CreateProcessWithLogonW function. Primary focus of this post is going to be waiting for CreateProcess() to finish. I have seen in many situations developer wants to start a external binary and this task can be accomplished by using CreateProcess() API. What happens after starting this process ?  We will not have control over this newly running application/binary, that is expected however at times we want to wait till it completes it execution.  How do achieve that ? It is not rocket science it in fact is pretty simple.  // Create the process PROCESS_INFORMATION pi; ...

Hello Folks !!!! Here is small Insight leaked article on Windows Mobile 7 (Due to be released in 2009). InsideMicrosoft just got a gigantic scoop of Microsoft's Windows Mobile 7, due to be released in 2009. This isn't Windows Mobile 6.1—which we've seen leaks of recently—but the next full version of Windows Mobile that fixes a bunch of problems we've seen with the platform. The huge changes are multi-touch gestures (including flicking, swiping and drawing on the screen), motion gestures (shaking the phone), Windows Vista-like redesign of the entire UI, better finger-based navigation and a desktop-like Internet Explorer browser. It's totally amazing, and fixes a bunch of the complaints we had with the platform Sample screenshots :                          

Well .... I happened to find this "Entertainment Shopping" Bidding site called SWOOPO ( www.swoopo.com ) and initially i thought it  is something like eBay  and got registered to the same. But it did not take much time for me to realize that SWOOPO runs on different concept of Bidding. I did little research and read how it works and to my surprise it is something we need to handle with extra care. Concept sounds simple but weird "BIDDER PAY TO BID" - Is it confusing ? It is really that confusing ... every item in SWOOPO website is time limited and there are NO reserve prices so catch is users / bidders need to pay $1 for each and every bid which means whether you win or lose you have to pay for the bids. They claim that total price you pay for product inclusive of Bid amount is way less than that of its original market price and of course it all depends on how many have bid for  the product . So suggesting that it is either clever, even legal, money-making schem...

Disclaimer: Information provided in this post/blog is collective effort of various reliable sources and author is not responsible for any consequences!!!! Hello Folks !!!! This is the Latest rumor taking rounds in the internet and also among the people. My two cents about this baseless rumor. First of all, ICICI Bank, the second largest bank of India and the largest bank in private sector, has straight away dismissed any problems with its ICICI UK exposure to Lehman Brothers Bonds. As per the news, officials of ICICI Bank, said its cumulative overseas exposure is less than 4 per cent of its consolidated assets and the bank has the ability to take any losses, if they arise. Since the day Lehman Brothers declared Bankruptcy, there are big rumors running around in the market about ICICI bank's exposure to the troubled Lehman Brothers Bank and its Bonds. There have been questions raised about ICICI bank's solvency concerns. Needless to say ICICI Bank may take a hit of US$ 28...

I am sure that many of you might thought to change the background color of Edit Control and Dialog. So i present you sample article which servers your purpose. To change the background color of an edit control in an MFC application, you must override the OnCtlColor() message-handling function of the window containing the edit control. In the new OnCtlColor() function, set the background color and return a handle to a brush that will be used for painting the background. This must be done in response to receiving both the CTLCOLOR_EDIT and CTLCOLOR_MSGBOX messages in the OnCtlColor() function. This is also documented in the "Class Library Reference" under CWnd::OnCtlColor(). Look at sample source code: // editdlg.h : header file // //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /// // CEditDialog dialog class CEditDialog : public CDialog { // Construction public: CEditDialog(CWnd* pParent = NULL); ...

Awesome, awesome, awesome news!!! There’s finally another program that I am totally stoked to write about that EVERYONE can use to make a lot of real money, with no catch, of course. Revolutionary Money Exchange (RMX) is a company who is taking on Pay Pal! Why is this great news? Because unless you have been living under a rock for the past 5 years you know that Pay Pal is a MONOPLOY! Pay Pal forces people to LOSE money…thus why they are named “PAY pal” – you literally PAY (lol). When you register for a Pay Pal account you are only allowed to get FREE pay pal to pay pal transfers. SO if you want to get a credit card payment you’re S.O.L…well, not entirely, you can agree to “upgrade” and lose about 3% of every deposit/payment (even if it’s a pay pal to pay pal transfer) so you can accept all forms of payment. So then, when you decide you want to downgrade and no longer get ripped, they tell you that you can’t. So for eternity you will pay them 3% of every penny you receive. Let me tell...
