ARM Ltd. will demonstrate Google Inc.’s Android on an early prototype device at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next week, one of several demonstrations of the mobile platform that will occur at the conference, Google said today.
ARM spokesman Stuart Gill confirmed in an interview that ARM would be conducting the demonstration of Android, but he refused to elaborate.
“ARM will be demonstrating Android on an early prototype device to show how the platform works on their processor,” Google spokesman Barry Schnitt said in an e-mail. “There are a number of other companies that will be demonstrating Android on their hardware in various forms at Mobile World Congress.” He would not name the others, however.

I was always looking for some sort of tool like IrfanView (Windows) which can do batch processing for images on Linux box. Finally I wrote a small, simple script capable of batch processing. This simple bash script does batch resizing & enhancing for images.
Program parameters asks for Source_Directory & Destination_Directory. And based on the ImageMagik software they perform different operations on Images.
The file is attached as a text document. Just rename it to filename.bash before executing it. Bash Script: Batch Image Resizing
Here is the snippet of simple shell script.
#!/bin/bash # This script does Batch resizing of the Photographs # It requires ImageMagick*.* image editing software # http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php # Author: Ruituraj A. Gandhi # Version 1.0 # Shared under Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 United States License # Program Parameters echo "Running Image enhancing & resizing script based on ImageMagik software.\n" echo "Please enter the full Source & Target directory path for Images respectively:\n" read BASE_DIR OUTPUT_DIR echo "The base directory is: ${BASE_DIR}, the output directory is: ${OUTPUT_DIR}\n" # Default base directory path where images are located DEFAULT_BASE_DIR=`pwd`
Strings in Java are immutable. Which means when you have assigned a String a value, the value can never change– it’s immutable. Let us check this out with an example
String a=”Java “;
a=a.concat(“Rules”);
The VM took the value of String a (“Java “) and tacked “Rules” onto the end, giving the value “Java Rules”. Since Strings are immutable, the VM could not stuff this new String “Rules” into the original String “Java ” which is referenced by a. So it creates a new String object, gives it the value “Java Rules” and made a refer to it. Since a String is an object in Java, logically we have three String objects stored in the memory (“Java “,”Rules” and “Java Rules”) and only one String reference a pointing to “Java Rules”. So the other two strings even though exist in the memory are considered “lost” to the program. No code
in the program has reference to reach the “lost” strings.

One of the stand out features of the Java programming language is the automatic reclamation of memory space, a technique known as the garbage collection. In languages like C++ the developers are forced to manually allocate and de-allocate memory to objects. This gives the developer an extra burden to work with and also allowing the possibility for memory leaks. Memory leakage occurs when the developer doesn’t de-allocate the memory for objects after their usage, which leads to the gradual depletion of memory. Automatic reclamation of the memory in Java frees the developer from having to keep track of when to free the allocated memory.

Spamihilator works between your E-Mail client and the Internet and examines every incoming E-Mail. Useless spam mails (Junk) will be filtered out.
The new Learning Filter (Bayesian Filter) uses the rules of Thomas Bayes (English mathematician, 18th century) and calculates a certain Spam-Probability for every E-Mail. You can train this filter! So it will know your messages even better than you. Hence the recognition rate will continuously increase
Support: Tested with Microsoft Outlook Express/2000/XP/2003, Opera, Eudora, Pegasus Mail, Phoenix Mail, Netscape/Mozilla und IncrediMail
