This is an interesting announcement as the release comes much in advance of the planned release for consumers(October).

Also, Technet and MSDN subscribers will be the lucky people other than manufacturers to get their hands on this hot and sizzling OS.

Waiting for 6th Aug.

Now, this song has got a place in my all time favourites…

Just listen this song for the awesome melody and the intelligent lyrics..

What is more interesting is that the song starts of with real low notes and reaches cresendo in such an amazing way at such a perfect time that you cant help but feel euphoric everytime you hear it..

Quintessentially Marx.

Just when I believed I couldn’t ever want for more
This ever changing world pushes me through another door
I saw you smile and my mind could not erase the beauty of your face
Just for a while won’t you let me shelter you

(Chorus)
Hold onto the night
Hold onto the memories
I wish that I could give you something more
and I could be yours

How do we explain something took us by suprise
Promises invade love that is real but in disguise
What happens now do we break another rule
and let our lovers play the fool
I don’t know how to stop feeling this way…

(Chorus)
Hold onto the night
Hold onto the memories
If only I could give you something more
Well, I think that I’ve been true to everybody else but me
and the way I feel about you makes my heart long to be free
Everytime I look into your eyes I’m helplessly aware
That the someone ive been searching for is right there…

Hold onto the night
Hold onto the memories
I wish that I could give you more
whoa…
Hold onto the night

n the past few days, the security firm has encountered a new threat for Symbian devices, detected as SYMBOS_YXES.B. According to Marianne Mallen, Escalation Engineer in TrendLabs, it poses as the legitimate application ACSServer.exe and calling itself Sexy Space, it steals the user’s subscriber, phone, and network information, and connects to a website in order to send the said information. In addition, the malware can also send spammed SMS messages to the user’s contacts.

“In short, it appears to be a botnet for mobile phones,” wrote Jonathon Leopando in the blog post.

However, the malware itself is classified as low risk, with a low distribution potential, according to a Trend Micro analysis.

The surprising part, though, is that the botnet has been digitally signed – a move that makes them “trustworthy” for Symbian phones.

“The signing process – undertaken by the Symbian Foundation itself – is supposed to ferret out instances like this, but somehow this slipped through. It may well be a coincidence, but it does not reinforce confidence in the signing system,” Leopando wrote

So, Symbian users, be on the alert while receiving any new files or while visiting some untrustworthy Web sites.

(no need to elaborate here…)

Session 2 | Ashish Sharma(Comp Sem 7):
Classical Data access methods in C# using ADO.NET followed by a Lab session in which you will dirty your hands on databases (yikes!!!) and all kind of data… but in a more sophisticated manner.. !

Session 3 | Kinnar Shah(Comp Sem 7):
