India's most expensive senior advocates – profiled, briefly
- Details
- Category: Bar, Bench & Litigation
- Published on Mon, 22 Oct '12, 19:46
- Written by Prachi Shrivastava
India Today dockets the lives and times of India's top eight senior advocates. All of them keep expensive hobbies and none of them bill below Rs 5 lakh – per appearance.
The oldest active lawyer in India, Ram Jethmalani: Aged 90, and enrolled at the bar as the youngest member at age 18, he maintains an envy-invoking Badminton court in his Lutyen's Delhi bungalow and bills above Rs 40 lakh per matter.
The former law minister recently defended the Gujarat government in the 2002 riots, Baba Ramdev in the case of police lathicharge at Delhi's Ramlila grounds, the 2G accused, and the Ansals in Delhi's Uphaar cinema tragedy.
The Philanthropist, KTS Tulsi: The former solicitor general is a vintage-car collector, and can be roped in for Rs 5 lakh per appearance or for free, depending on the cause.
The cause has driven him to oppose the Ansals in Uphaar, refuse to defend the Gujarat state government at the SC after chief minister Narendra Modi justified the Sohrabuddin encounter, and be a special prosecutor in the Punjab terror attacks, during the peak of his career as defense counsel.
The most expensive, Harish Salve: Pianist, Bentley-enthusiast, jazz music lover, and Apple (the company) loyalist, Salve minted Rs 4.5 lakh per appearance until his stakes touched the pinnacle after his recent Rs11,000 crore Vodafone win in the SC.
Once Soli Sorabjee's junior, anybody who matters in corporate India was (at least) once the former solicitor general's client – including the Ambani borthers, Keshav Mahindra, Ratan Tata.
But he has fought free too, namely, amicus curiae in the Gujarat riots case and in the environment matters heard by the green bench of the SC. He also appeared against the accused in Uphaar.
The king of miscellaneous times, Mukul Rohatgi: Known for lung power, which he uses during arguments as well as for bustling between courtrooms on miscellaneous days with his extra-heavy load of matters, Rohatgi is a supercar collector, Atlas Shrugged reader, traveller and art-connoisseur.
The former additional solicitor general has been a favourite with politicians including Varun Gandhi and Jayalalitha, and the commonwealth scam accused.
The corporate lawyer, Aryama Sundaram: Plays golf, represents cricket, offers cigars.
The BCCI is a regular client while FICCI was a client in the 2G presidential reference.
The constitutional law expert, PP Rao: "Even judges cannot ignore Rao's interpretations", writes India Today about the former SCBA president whom the SC looks to despite its own law officers – for instance in the 2G presidential reference, or in the 1992 president's rule imposition post Babri Masjid.
Controversy's king, Gopal Subramanium: The former solicitor general of India held the government's hand through the Kasab trial, the 1993 Bombay blasts, and the recent petition against the grand prix formula 1 race.
The Sherwani-clad, Sushil Kumar: The only Sherwani-clad lawyer in the Supreme Court corridors, he's seen as the "only one" who can always manage making "holes in the prosecution".
His clientele – Parliament attacker Mohammed Afzal guru, 2G accused A Raja and Kanimozhi, CWG scam accused Suresh Kalmadi, terrorist Abdul Naseer Maurany and murder-convicted restaurateur P Rajagopal.
"When it comes to final arguments on merits, one needs Kumar to get an acquittal", claim juniors. [India Today]

Originally written on Fox Sports Kansas City | Last updated 2/8/13
(AP) -- Creighton and Illinois State were picked as the Missouri Valley Conference's top teams prior to the season, expectations that only one lived up to through the first half of the league slate. While the Redbirds have recovered from their ugly start, though, the 16th-ranked Bluejays have begun to stumble. Creighton tries to bounce back from an eye-opening loss as it returns home Saturday night looking for a seventh straight win over the Redbirds, who hope to stay hot after a stirring come-from-behind victory. The Bluejays (20-4, 9-3) were looking every bit like the top team in the MVC during their 17-1 start, winning their first six conference games by an average of 16.7 points. They've stumbled since, and their latest loss was the most alarming. Doug McDermott was held to eight points - one-third of an average that was second in the nation - and Creighton trailed by as many as 26 in a 76-57 loss at Indiana State on Wednesday. The Bluejays posted their lowest offensive out...

A.J. Pierzynski homers in fifth straight as White Sox win
Aug 5, 2012, 5:55 PM EDT
A.J. Pierzynski didn't start Sunday, but it didn't stop him from hitting his 21st homer as the White Sox beat the Angels 4-2.
Pinch-hitting for Tyler Flowers, Pierzynski hit a tie-breaking two-run homer off Jason Isringhausen in the bottom of the seventh. It was his fifth straight game with a homer, matching a White Sox record.
Seven White Sox have homered in five straight games, including Frank Thomas twice. Paul Konerko was the last to do it last season.
Pierzynski's 21 homers are three more than his career high from 2005, his first season in Chicago. He's gotten there in just 311 at-bats. Between 2010 and '11, he had 17 homers in 938 at-bats.
- kkolchak - Aug 5, 2012 at 6:11 PM
Wow–A.J. really hit that piece of sh@t! 😀
- millerhour - Aug 5, 2012 at 6:28 PM
Juicing! 😉
- retaeyssup - Aug 5, 2012 at 7:54 PM
Yup. All signs point to roids. Homer output and he's angry all the time.
- surly1n1nd1anapol1s - Aug 5, 2012 at 8:29 PM
And this feat means nothing.
- kkolchak - Aug 5, 2012 at 8:43 PM
I guess you missed the part where it said "tie-breaking two-run homer" and the White Sox won. So, yeah, it actually did mean something.
- vincentbojackson - Aug 5, 2012 at 11:14 PM
Why do teams still roll Isringhausen out there? Surely there's a guy in rookie ball with better stuff than him these days.
- gmsingh - Aug 6, 2012 at 7:05 AM
And on the other side of town Theo Epstein would've have traded A.J. if he had him as part of the "rebuilding process". Apparently the more games you lose the better the rebuilding is going.
- stex52 - Aug 6, 2012 at 1:16 PM
That does seem to be the model they go by.

Qatar 2022 World Cup scandal: Reports of former Fifa vice-president paid millions by Qatari firm
Mar 18, 2014, 6:49 AM EDT
With Fifa's name dragged through the mud time and time again, these latest allegations are set to rock the soccer world.
The former vice-president of soccer's world governing body and President of CONCACAF for over two decades, Jack Warner, has been accused of receiving over $2.3 million from a Qatari firm, just days after the 2022 World Cup was awarded to the Middle East country.
According to an investigation by British newspaper, The Telegraph, Warner appears to have been personally paid $1.2 million from a company controlled by a former Qatari soccer official just after the decision to award the desert country the World Cup. Allegedly, another $750,000 was also paid to Mr Warner's sons and a further $400,000 was paid to one of his employees.
Warner, Fifa's vice-president for 14 years until 2011 when he stepped down following a Fifa ethics committee found him guilty of encouraging bribes. A report from the ethics committee said there was "compelling" evidence that Mr Warner was "an accessory to corruption."
When approached by the Telegraph in his Trinidad home but refused to comment on the payments when asked about them. Warner is currently being investigated by the FBI, with reports about bank accounts in the Cayman Islands and New York are being scrutinized, and his eldest son who lives in Miami is said to be co-operating with their investigation.
(MORE: Warner resigns as national security minister of Trinidad & Tobago following fraud report)
Reportedly the documents unearthed by the Telegraph's in-depth investigation, which saw numerous journalists scour the globe to find out details on the alleged deals, state that two weeks after Qatar won the right to host the 2022 World Cup, a statement dated December 15, 2010 was made "payable to Jack Warner" by Qatar's Fifa executive Mohamed Bin Hammam.
Also the Telegraph claims that Warner's two sons and an employee were paid a further $1 million by the same Qatari company, where a document allegedly states the payments were to "offset legal and other expenses", but another letter claims more than $1 million cover "professional services provided over the period 2005-2010".
Warner, 71, was one of the 22 members of the Fifa executive committee which voted to give Russia the 2018 World Cup and then controversially hand the 2022 tournament to Qatar. Looking back on the decision made in 2010, it was one of the most sensational stories in soccer history as the tiny Arabic nation was handed one of the world's biggest events. At the time, I remember thinking that something didn't quite add up as bribery allegations were rife even before the announcement was made in 2010, after two Fifa members were found guilty of agreeing to sell their votes six weeks before the decision was made.
More fallout on Warner will arrive in the next few days and hours, but the 2022 World Cup in Qatar continues to be encapsulated with controversy. A spokesman for the Qatar World Cup had the following to say.
"The 2022 bid committee strictly adhered to Fifa's bidding regulations in compliance with their code of ethics. The supreme committee for delivery and legacy and the individuals involved in the 2022 bid committee are unaware of any allegations surrounding business dealings between private individuals."

Avoid if you value your context menu Rated 2 out of 5 stars
I'm surprised that Mozilla approved this extension. The idea is good but the implementation is poor. If you use a context menu editor after installing Firelink, you'll find that it has added dozens of lines to your context menu. Try to move them, and your context menu will break very badly. Two stars instead of one because I was so relieved to find that it is possible to uninstall this thing without permanent damage.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (184.108.40.206-signed).

The Rangers are on the board against the Rays in Game 163
Sep 30, 2013, 9:20 PM EDT
The Rays extended their lead to 3-0 lead on the strength of a two-run homer by Evan Longoria in the top of the third inning, but Rangers are beginning to chip away.
Craig Gentry led off the bottom of the third inning with a single and moved over to second base on a ground out from Leonys Martin. Ian Kinsler then followed with a bloop single to no man's land in shallow right-center field to score Gentry and bring the score to 3-1. Check out the video below:
The Rangers had a chance to do some more damage, but David Price picked off Kinsler to end the inning while Alex Rios was at the plate. Price has already picked off two baserunners tonight. Giving away outs in an elimination game is not a recipe for success.

Second Lebanon War.
(photo credit:Reuters)
The Bank of Israel on Monday said that, while data on the economic impact of Operation Protective Edge was not yet available, the Second Lebanon War was a "security event of similar magnitude" that cost the economy about 0.5% of GDP. To help boost the economy, the bank lowered the August interest rate from 0.75% to 0.5%."The effect of security events of similar magnitude in the past decade turned out to be a moderate macroeconomic impact, up to about 0.5% of GDP (in the Second Lebanon War)," the monetary committee said in its assessment. "The recovery from previous events was generally rapid, but the negative impact on some industries, particularly the tourism industry, is liable to last longer."Psagot, Israel's largest investment house, put out its own estimates on Monday for the cost of Operation Protective Edge, judging that it would cost Israel just 0.25% of its GDP growth (assuming that fighting would continue for another week-and-a-half – also based on the Second Lebanon War).Psagot estimated that consumption would drop NIS 1.7 billion, as people stayed away from summer activities, and tourism would lose NIS 3.5b.Defense consumption, on the other hand, would rise NIS 2.6b., offsetting some of the economic damage. All in all, that would leave the economy short NIS 2.6b., about 0.25% of overall GDP.The Bank of Israel Monetary Committee's decision to lower the interest rate was designed to both spur economic activity by making it cheaper to borrow, and address the low range of expected inflation. More importantly, it would ease the strength of the shekel, which has stayed strong throughout the operation.In the year to date, the effective exchange rate – which compares the shekel to a basket of relevant currencies – strengthened by about 2%."The real exchange rate is at a level that weighs on growth in the tradable industries," the committee noted. The Israel Export and International Cooperation Institute praised the interest rate decision.Exports fell 6.2% in June – before the operation began – according to the Finance Ministry.The Manufacturers Association of Israel, which called for the Bank of Israel to lower its interest rate to an unrealistic 0%, said that in the first 20 days of the operation, factories suffered NIS 820 million in damage. Of that, only NIS 330m. was in the hard-hit South, mostly because there is less overall industry in that region."Operation Protective Edge is serving as an alarm clock for the Bank of Israel, waking it up from its winter hibernation," said Shmuel Ben-Arieh, director of research at Pioneer Financial Planning.Still, the lower interest rate may have negative consequences as well. Cheaper borrowing only fuels enthusiasm for investments in assets such as real estate. The soaring cost of housing has been a major sticking point for Israelis, and the Bank of Israel has itself warned that the financial system may experience a shock if the prices suddenly drop in bubble-popping fashion.The bank said it was still too early to tell what the budgetary costs of the operation would be.

Scheduling reminders? Check. Opening apps? Done. Proffering weather forecasts? You get where I'm going with this. I was almost surprised that she (sorry, "it") didn't humor my lousy attempt at a joke because Microsoft agonized over how to give Cortana a personality, to make it feel like more than just a talented, algorithmic guesser in the cloud. I've spent the last week of my life talking to Cortana, asking it harebrained questions along with proper requests, and you know what? The company succeeded, mostly.

In 18 days, Internet Explorer will turn 20 years old. But rather than celebratingwith a new version, as it did for birthday number 15, Microsoft will be shoving IE away into an obscure folder with other legacy applications -- you know, like Paint. Though the browser will live on, mostly for the sake of enterprise users, it will only receive security patches going forward (read: no new features or design changes). Just as important, it will no longer be the default browser in Windows. That honor now goes to Edge, a cleaner, leaner browser that makes its debut on Win 10. Microsoft hopes that with the name change, fresh design, smarter features and improved performance, Edge will be enough to convince people to set aside whatever negative impressions they may have had of Internet Explorer.
August 1st, 2015, 21:29 Posted By: wraggsterMicrosoft's Yusuf Mehdi is checking in with a Windows 10 status update, revealing that the OS is already on some 14 million devices. He noted that not everyone who reserved an upgrade has gotten it yet, but says the rollout will continue in phases over the next few weeks. While whether or not you can upgrade to Windows 10 may still be in question, we have information to help decide if you should with our FAQ and review. Of course, if you're one of the millions already in the door, you can just let us know how the new experience is working so far.
August 1st, 2015, 21:27 Posted By: wraggster
If you're one of the millions of people who've already upgraded to Windows 10, you've probably noticed that the OS changed your default apps. Your main browser, for instance, suddenly became Microsoft Edge after the upgrade -- something Mozilla finds "disturbing," especially since the platform actually made it trickier to switch back to Chrome, Firefox or any other browser. In anopen letter to Microsoft head honcho Satya Nadella, Mozilla's CEO Chris Beard revealed that the non-profit got in touch with the Windows 10 team when it got wind of the change, but that "didn't result in any meaningful progress."
August 1st, 2015, 21:14 Posted By: wraggsterIt's hard to believe that Windows is 30 years old this year. Originally a graphic shell that sat on MS-DOS, Windows has blossomed over the years to be the visually rich experience it is today. That's not to say it hasn't encountered a few pitfalls along the way -- Windows ME, anyone? -- but despite weathering rivals from the likes of Apple, Microsoft's pride and joy is still the most widely used personal computer operating system on the planet. In the gallery here, we take a look back at Windows through the ages. Be sure to keep an eye out for a few cameos from Jennifer Aniston, Jerry Seinfeld and, of course, Steve Ballmer.
July 28th, 2015, 22:28 Posted By: wraggsterWindows 10 has a feature that makes me very uncomfortable. WiFi Sense automatically connects you to open networks and shares your Wi-Fi password to your contacts on Skype, Facebook, and Outlook.com. More than that, Microsoft stores an encrypted copy of every Wi-Fi password you enter on your Windows 10 device.
Behind Wi-Fi Sense is a cool idea. Microsoft describes it thus:WiFi Sense automatically connects you to nearby WiFi networks, helping you to save your mobile data for when you really need it and giving you more Internet connectivity options. WiFi Sense can do a lot of things for you to get you connected to the Internet using WiFi, so you don't have to do them on your own. These include:
Automatically connecting you to crowdsourced open WiFi networks it knows about.
Accepting a WiFi network's terms of use on your behalf and providing additional info for you to networks that require it.
Letting you exchange password-protected WiFi network access with your contacts to give and get Internet access without seeing each other's WiFi network passwords.
So, when you go round to a friend's house you don't have to fiddle around connecting to their network and entering the password. Instead, as soon as you enter range of their Wi-Fi your device is connected to the internet. It's convenient, saves time, and stops you from crawling under a desk to read the sticker on the bottom of their Wi-Fi hub.
But the problems in practice are numerous.
For a start, Wi-Fi Sense is activated by default on all Windows 10 devices. So, if you don't know it's there to turn off, your laptop will be sharing your Wi-Fi password with Microsoft and your contacts, and will also be connecting to open networks without your explicit say so.
It doesn't actually show your password to anyone; instead, contacts' devices are sent the password and it does all the connecting for them. But who wants to share their Wi-Fi password with all their Skype or Facebook or email contacts? There's no option to share with specific people: it's all or nothing.
However, there are also some instances when WiFi Sense will share your details with strangers.
WiFi Sense can connect your device to open Wi-Fi hotspots:Some WiFi hotspots require you to provide a name, phone number or email address in order to connect. To help get you connected quickly, WiFi Sense can do this for you on your behalf. In some countries or regions, these fields may be populated by default with generic information that's not related to you specifically. For example, the Email address box may default firstname.lastname@example.com, but not your Microsoft account email address. So if you don't change the default info, only generic info will be provided.
So you could be walking through town as your phone or laptop sends your phone number and email address out to open networks.
WiFi Sense won't connect you to every open network around, but the way it determines which networks it connects to isn't based on security.WiFi Sense maintains a database of information about open WiFi hotspots and we update that crowdsourced information based on what your phone and the phones of other participating customers tell us about those networks. WiFi Sense analyses characteristics of open WiFi networks that other Windows Phone users have connected to and determines if the users had a good-quality connection. If enough of them did, those networks are added to the database and then suggested by WiFi Sense, so you and others can get connected to them when using WiFi Sense.
So, to trawl in data from WiFi Sense users it sounds like you just have to have a high-powered open network, run it for long enough for the right people, and Microsoft will add it to a database. Then you just record folks' phone numbers and email addresses.
Microsoft acknowledges these networks aren't secure, saying: "an open network is a Wi-Fi network that doesn't require a password to connect, which means that the network isn't secure. Anyone can connect to it and other people might see info you send over the network." Yet it still includes them as an automatic connection for Wi-Fi Sense.
The problems aren't limited to open networks, though. Say you don't have Windows 10, and a friend who does comes round and you let them enter the password to your Wi-Fi. If they have WiFi Sense activated, then they just shared your Wi-Fi password with everyone in their contacts.
As mentioned before, Microsoft doesn't let you share your password with individual contacts, either. If you want to share your Wi-Fi password with a Skype contact you have to share it with ALL your contacts.
The thing that makes me really uncomfortable is that for WiFi Sense to work, Microsoft has to have a server filled with Wi-Fi passwords. Yes, they're all encrypted and, yes, the server will be surrounded with digital protections, but if recent years have proven anything it's that high security servers are not safe from hackers. The encryption may be very hard to break but it may not be impossible to break.
Happily, you can turn it off. In Windows 10, if you go to Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi > Manage Wi-Fi settings you can turn off WiFi Sense. You'll also see the option to have Microsoft and you contacts' devices to forget any passwords you've shared.
You can also have your Wi-Fi network opt-out, preventing from you or anyone else connecting to it from sharing it with Microsoft and their contacts. To do that you need to add '_optout' to the end of your Wi-Fi network's name.
WiFi Sense may one day become something I'll be confident using but right now it isn't.
July 28th, 2015, 22:27 Posted By: wraggsterAcer has unveiled the Aspire Z series all-in-one (AIO) PCs, which have been refreshed with the 23.8-inch Aspire Z3-710, featuring capacitive 10-point multi-touch, and the 19.5-inch ZC-700 AIO.
Both new devices feature a Full HD (1920x1080) LED backlit display, Windows 8.1 and are supported by Acer for the free upgrade to Windows 10 when it is released on July 29th.
Gregory Bryant, corporate VP and general manager of desktop client platforms at Intel, said: Were thrilled with the great innovation in Acers latest all-in-one PC.
Showing just how much the desktop has been reinvented, this slim design with amazing user experience is another example of whats possible.
The Z Series boasts a 1080p Full HD webcam, stereo speakers with Acer TrueHarmony and Dolby Digital Plus Home Theater technology, which enables conversations to be heard clearly. Plus, built-in dual digital microphones can sense where voices come from to ensure they are picked up even in a noisy environment. All of this is packed into its 36mm form factor, which boasts up to 8GB of memory, maximum 2TB of hard drive storage, an optional DVD Super Multi optical drive and an optional Intel Core Pentium or Celeron processor. Each screen can also be tilted from -5 degrees to 25 degrees.
In addition, Acer showcased one of its new tablets designed specifically for gaming, dubbed the Predator 8.
Four speakers come with the tablet, which have been built into each of its four corners that jut out from its exterior in a bold red colouring.
An Intel Atom x7 and a 14nm-built chip with a quad-core processor powers the device, which can be clocked to 1.6GHz and up to 2.3GHz in Burst Mode. It features Intel HD Graphics, an eight-inch display and haptic feedback, meaning the device will shake to alert players when they have been shot in a game.

First released almost three years ago (and updated to 8.1 a year later),Windows 8 was a bet that didn't pay off. Bold -- or brash -- design decisions and a fundamental shift in UX led to a very slow uptake of the OS, and we're now just days away from the release of its replacement. Windows 10 comes at a difficult time for Microsoft, but although it too makes grand design revisions to the current formula, this time, it's fixing problems, not causing them.
July 28th, 2015, 22:22 Posted By: wraggster
Typically, you have to jump in with both feet if you want to shape web browser features -- you have to use early (read: buggy) releases and leap into the developer community. But what if you're happy with a stable version and just want to offer a bit of constructive criticism? Mozilla will soon have you covered. It's launching Idea Town, an opt-in program that lets you try upcoming features and offer feedback. You won't have to ditch a regular copy of Firefox, and these will only be features that are likely to show up. While this means that you won't get strictly experimental features (think Chrome's flags), it should put more of the development process in your hands.
July 27th, 2015, 22:42 Posted By: wraggsterMicrosofts latest operating system, Windows 10, will launch in just two days (July 29th), but are you prepared?
The new OS is set to have a number of updated features to benefit both business users and consumers.
While enterprises of all sizes are reading up on issues surrounding the Windows 10 device lifecycle, how to secure Office 365 and the changes and additions to Microsofts advanced security and data loss protection, our sister site IT Channel Expert has a handy white paper from MobileIron which answers a number of questions surrounding this subject.
Check out MobileIrons Windows 10 white paper here.
As well as reading up on the changes that are set to occur, there are a number of things business and home users alike can check up on right now to make sure theyre ready from the off to start using Windows 10.
It may seem obvious, but the first thing to do is make sure your PC or fleet of devices are actually compatible with Windows 10.
While Microsoft has said that the new OS will work on most PCs there are minimum system requirements, these included:
- The latest version of Windows 7 or 8.1
- 1GB or faster processor and 1GB of RAM for 32-bit, or 2GB for 64-bit
- 1024x600 display
- DirectX 9 or later graphics card with WDDM 1.0 driver
If your PC or tablet is good to go, you better backup your files and make some space youll need at least 16GB of space to install the new OS.
Finally, make sure youve actually reserved your copy of Windows 10. Users need to download the Get Windows 10 app. All you need to do is click Reserve your free upgrade in the app windows on your Windows device and enter your email to confirm the reservation.
Windows 10 will launch on July 29th globally and will be available as a free upgrade to customers using Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 in 190 countries.
July 27th, 2015, 22:10 Posted By: wraggsterValve made more than $730m in revenue from Steam and its own games in 2014, according to a report.
Market data firm SuperData provided with estimated revenues for both Valves digital marketplace and its top three games DOTA 2, Team Fortress 2 and Counter-Strike Global Offensive. Those titles were said to have brought in over $400m in revenue for the company.
It was also estimated that total 2014 revenues for Steam reached $1.5bn. As Valve takes a 30 per cent cut of each sale, and taking out money from Valve's own games, the companys royalties from third-party titles were calculated at roughly $330m.
July 27th, 2015, 21:47 Posted By: wraggsterEveryone has a Windows upgrade horror story. For me, it was an XP installation that inexplicably crashed halfway through the upgrade process, somehow corrupting my hard drive at the same time. And with Windows 10 launching on July 29th, it's hard to avoid the traumatic flashbacks to past Windows releases. But fret not. Windows 10, it turns out, offers the smoothest Windows upgrade process ever. It's remarkable for just how unremarkable the entire endeavor actually is. Still, there are a few things you should know before taking the plunge.
July 21st, 2015, 22:18 Posted By: wraggsterMicrosoft is allegedly already producing its Surface Pro 4 - and is expected to reveal the device sometime this year.
According to reports the Surface will also boast a larger 12-inch display, the same ultra-thin form factor as its predecessor and a bezel size.
Microsoft has reportedly placed a large order for 256GB SSDs from Samsung, which will allegedly be used in the new device.
Known for its rumour stories, Digitimes is responsible for reporting this particular update, so it's worth taking the news with a pinch of salt.
According to Digitimes, the firm is expected to release the device in October, and it will come with Intels new Skylake processors, and of course, Windows 10.
An additional report has also revealed that Microsoft is planning to create a series of larger sized tablets, with displays bigger than 12-inches.
This news comes after Microsoft confirmed plans it will sell Windows 10 on USB drives to customers.
Plus, the company has also released a set of ads featuring toddlers, promoting the new operating system (OS).
July 21st, 2015, 22:06 Posted By: wraggster
If you use Windows -- just about any recent version of it, in fact -- you're going to want to check for updates as soon as you can. Microsoft has released an emergency, off-schedule patch for a security hole that lets ne'er-do-wells hijack your system if you open documents or websites that use embedded OpenTypefonts. The flaw exists in virtually every edition of Windows that Microsoft still supports, ranging from Vista all the way to your preview copy of Windows 10. There's no evidence that an attack exists in the wild, but you'll definitely want to get the fix before malware writers get their act together.
Update: There are claims circulating that this fixes an exploit discovered in theHacking Team breach. If so, it's not entirely true that this exploit has never been used. We've reached out to Microsoft for more answers.
Update 2: Microsoft tells us that this is indeed in response to the Hacking Team vulnerability. The company is "not aware of any active attacks" right now, but it's not about to wait for them to show up.

Google already added tools that help Drive play nice with Office files, and now it's offering easy access from inside Microsoft's apps. With a new plug-in, you can open files for Word, Excel and PowerPoint from Drive. When the time comes, you'll be able to save them in Google's cloud-based repository, too. It seems simple enough to use, and it's sure to come in handy for folks who prefer Google's storage option over Microsoft's, but still use Office to get work done. For now, the add-on works for Office on Windows machines, and there isn't any mention of when or if we can expect the same tool to arrive for the productivity suite for Mac.
July 21st, 2015, 00:06 Posted By: wraggsterWindows 10 has not even been released yet, but that's a perfect reason to start unearthing a few secrets. Over the coming weeks and months there will undoubtedly be an endless stream of tips, tricks, and tweaks to try out, but how's this for starters? Windows 10 has a secret screen recording tool that can be used to capture on-screen activity as a video file. Taking a static screenshot is very simple. You can either hit the Print Screen key, use the Snipping Tool, or turn to one of the countless screen capture tools out there many of which are free. When it comes to capturing video, however, it's something of a different story. Before you splash out on a dedicated tool such as Camtasia, you might want to try out Windows 10's hidden tool. It's designed for gamers really, but anyone can use it. The Game bar is a toolbar which Microsoft meant for gamers to use to capture screenshots of their high scores, as well as video footage of their gaming skills. Despite the name, it is not limited to use within games
July 21st, 2015, 00:00 Posted By: wraggsterMicrosoft has confirmed plans that it will sell Windows 10 to customers on USB drives.
This news comes as etailer Amazon unveiled pre-order pages for Windows 10 Home priced at $119.99 (£77) and Windows 10 Pro for $199.99 (£128).
According to VentureBeat, a Microsoft spokesperson said: Windows 10 will be available on USB drives for purchase in retail channels shortly after launch. The suggested retail prices for Windows 10 in the US are the same as Windows 10.
Although Amazon will be selling Windows 10, the retail release date is currently August 30th, much later than Microsofts intended release date of July 29th.
While Windows 10 is a free upgrade for owners of Windows 7 and 8, those who are using different operating systems will need to pay to access Windows 10.
July 20th, 2015, 23:58 Posted By: wraggsterAMD has unveiled its latest line of A-Series desktop processors with the addition of the budget-friendly A8-7670K APU.
During a press call, the firm revealed that the APU has been designed to work alongside Windows 10, and can also provide users with eSports gaming and mainstream workloads.
Priced at $117.99 (£76) the APU is powered by 10 compute cores, including four CPUs running at up to 3.9GHz and six GPUs that can run up to 757MHz.
The APU combines the processing power of AMDs CPU with the pixel power of AMD Radeon graphics.
Kevin Lensing, senior director of the Client Business Unit at AMD, said: AMD takes great strides to deliver innovative technology that provides the performance and convenience customers need today and tomorrow.
The AMD A8-7670K APU is no exception. Our newest APU provides a smooth user experience and is engineered for Windows 10 and eSports online gaming.
AMDs new APU can also provide smooth video playback of movies and TV, as well as boost performance of the Microsoft Edge browser, with full graphics acceleration for HTML5 and WebGL.
Users can also play games in 1080p with AMDs integrated Radeon R7 graphics, plus, it also comes with support for DirectX 12, Vulkan and Mantle.
Zack Shutt, VP of PC vendor Xidax, added: The new addition of the AMD A8-7670K APU allows us to deliver more options for discerning mainstream PC buyers.
AMDs latest driver and feature support allow incredible new entry points for impressive gaming technologies such as FreeSync and Virtual Super Resolution.
This news comes after AMD revealed its sixth generation A-Series processor for notebooks. Check out our interview with AMD's UK consumer country manager about the notebook APU here.
The APUs promise to deliver twice the battery life and gaming performance of other competing platforms.
July 20th, 2015, 22:51 Posted By: wraggsterWith Windows 10's launch little more than a week away, Microsoft kicked off its marketing storm last night with the first commercial for the new OS. It's a bit more direct and human than the company's infamous Jerry Seinfeld/Bill Gates ads, with a focus on children and how they're growing up with touchscreens and a wealth of new tech. As with any major product launch, Microsoft is planning a huge multi-million dollar media blitz for Windows 10. The big theme this time around is "people who make a difference," reports ZDNet. The software giant will likely have a much easier time pushing Windows 10 on consumers since it steps back from some of Windows 8 more dramatic (and controversial) interface changes. And of course, making Windows 10 a free upgrade for Win 7 and 8.1 users will also be a big help. The new OS will land on July 29 for Windows Insiders and will roll out to others afterwards.

If you're bummed that you won't get Microsoft's Cortana voice assistant when Windows 10 launches next week, don't fret: there's a good chance that you're next in line. The folks in Redmond have revealed that Cortana will be available to Windows Insider members in Australia, Canada (English only), India (also English) and Japan in the "coming months." It'll also spread to Brazil, Mexico and French-speaking Canadians later in the year.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
20 Dec 2008 16:56 GMT | Africa, Somalia
The ancient graves of clerics and other prominent people are among holy sites being targeted by the armed group in the port city of Kismayo.Al-Shabab took control of Somalia's third-largest city about four months ago and quickly announced it would not tolerate anything it deemed un-Islamic.Al Jazeera correspondent Mohammed Adow said Kismayo's Roman Catholic church was torn down just days after they seized power through bloody fighting.
"The 60-year-old church had not been used for nearly 20 years and not a single Christian lives in the city - but that was not a good enough reason for the militias to spare the building, he said."
"They are planning to replace it with a mosque."
Graves targetedThe fighters then turned their hammers on graves, some of which contained the remains of followers of Sufi, a mystical form of Islam.The sites have been revered for decades and are regularly visited by people paying homage to the dead, a practice al-Shabab has condemned as being akin to idolatry.
"We are a chosen lot by Allah to try and correct the mystics of the people and guide them," Hassan Yaqub, a spokesman for the Kismayo administration, told Al Jazeera.
Three men accused of smoking hashish were given a public flogging before the al-Shabab fighters set fire to the drugs that were purportedly found when the men were arrested. Such practices have become more frequent as al-Shabab has increased its influence across southern and central Somalia, taking back many of the areas which were formerly controlled by the Islamic Courts Union until late 2006.In October, a 13-year-old girl was reportedly stoned to death in Kismayo after she was found guilty of adultery.
The UN later said that she had been raped.Last month, 32 people were whipped for taking part in a traditional dance in the town of Balad, about 30km north of the capital Mogadishu.
Public supportThe crowds which were made to witness the flogging in Marka appeared to be overwhelmingly supportive of the new measures being taken by the new Islamist authorities.
Graves and churches destroyed
"We support their efforts 100 per cent. The establishment of Sharia is a source of joy for us all," one resident told Al Jazeera.
Another said: "We are happy with the Islamists, we now have peace and the criminals have nowhere to hide."Somalia has had no effective government since a coup removed Siad Barre from power in 1991, leading to an almost total breakdown in law and order.The only relative stability areas of the country have enjoyed in recent years was during the short period of rule by the Islamic Courts Union in 2006."For the Somali people the choice is really a very difficult one ... which one would they want to live with, a strict sharia or a situation with no security," Billow Kerrow, a Kenya-based regional analyst, told Al Jazeera.
"I think in the beginning they might find it easier to implement a very strict code of Islam, but as the government responsibilities start setting in the challenges will be enormous ... to try and practice a system which will be accommodating to all."
