NASA finds surprising new moon orbiting Neptune

 

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has discovered a new moon orbiting the distant blue-green planet Neptune, the 14th known to be circling the giant planet. The moon, designated S/2004 N 1, is estimated to be no more than 12 miles across, making it the smallest known moon in the Neptunian system. It is so small and dim that it is roughly 100 million times fainter than the faintest star that can be seen with the naked eye.

It even escaped detection by Voyager 2 spacecraft, which flew past Neptune in 1989 and surveyed the planet’s system of moons and rings. Mark Showalter of the SETI Institute, found the moon July 1, while studying the faint arcs, or segments of rings, around Neptune. “The moons and arcs orbit very quickly, so we had to devise a way to follow their motion in order to bring out the details of the system,” he said.

The method involved tracking the movement of a white dot that appears over and over again in more than 150 archival Neptune photographs taken by Hubble from 2004 to 2009. On a whim, Showalter looked far beyond the ring segments and noticed the white dot about 65,400 miles from Neptune, located between the orbits of the Neptunian moons Larissa and Proteus. The dot is S/2004 N 1. Showalter plotted a circular orbit for the moon, which completes one revolution around Neptune every 23 hours.

The biggest advantage of installing Windows using USB flash drive is speed: It installs Windows just about 15 minutes approximately. Moreover, traditional optical disks (DVDs) get damaged upon use and time, so there is no surety whether it will successfully install Windows on your PC or not. USB flash drive gives you great ease and guarantee!
To install Windows 7 or 8 from USB flash drive, you will require:
1) A USB flash drive with 4 GB or more storage capacity.
2) Windows 7 or Windows 8 installation files.

Click Here to Download This Guide to Your Computer

If the PDF file opens in your browser, click Control+S to save the file to your computer.

Follow these simple steps to install Windows from a USB drive:
1. Insert the USB flash drive to your computer. Copy any important data from flash drive to your PC.
2. Open Command Prompt with administrator rights- for which either you may type cmd in Start menu search box and hit Ctrl+ Shift+ Enter or Go to Start menu > All programs > Accessories, right click on Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.
3. Type ‘DISKPART‘ and hit enter. You’ll see DISKPART> prompt on screen.
4. Type ‘LIST DISK‘ and you’ll have a list of disks in your PC. Look for the disk number of your USB flash drive. Let’s assume that your disk drive number is ‘Disk 1′. ’Disk 0′ might be your hard drive. If you have Disk 2 as your USB flash drive then use Disk 2.


5. Type below commands one by one:

SELECT DISK 1
CLEAN
CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
SELECT PARTITION 1
ACTIVE
FORMAT FS=NTFS
(Formatting may take a few seconds)
ASSIGN
EXIT

6. Now, still in Command prompt, locate ‘boot‘ folder in your Windows installation folder you have on your hard disk or DVD drive.
For example, assume that your Windows installation files are located at folder D:\Windows7 in your hard disk, type the following commands:

D:\
CD Windows7
CD boot

7. Type following command:

BOOTSECT.EXE /NT60 K:

Here, K:, for example, is your USB drive letter. You’ll see below message:

8. Finally, copy your Windows 7 or Windows 8 installation files to the USB flash drive.
9. Your USB drive is ready to boot and install Windows 7 or 8. Only thing you now need to change the boot priority at the BIOS to USB from the HDD or DVD drive. I think no explanation is required for this as it’s just the matter of changing the boot priority or enabling the USB boot option in the BIOS.
If you are still not able to boot after following this guide, this only means that you haven’t set the BIOS priority to USB.

Apple iPad 

 

ntroduction

Wait, did hell just freeze over? Maybe a couple of degrees cooler? Rumors of a mini version of the iPad had been laughed at, dodged and denied - not necessarily in that order and often all at once. But here it is - the iPad mini is finally a reality. It caused due measures of excitement and perhaps a bit of disappointment. Yet, in typical Apple fashion, it's an excellent piece of hardware. In short, it's a polarizing device that may as well be the next best-selling tablet.

Apple iPad mini official images
You have to hand it to Apple's R&D team - they know how to design hardware. The iPad mini is super thin and light, with a cool aluminum shell. Sure, they swore they'd never make a 7" tablet and the truth is they still haven't - the 7.9" screen of the mini offers 36% more real estate than the screens of the Google Nexus 7 and the Amazon Kindle Fire HD.
Less bezel on the left and right of the screen combined with the ~310g of weight make it reasonably comfortable to hold with one hand. Apple did make some compromises, which drew a lot of ire. Here's the summarized list of what's good and what's bad about the Apple iPad mini:

Key features

• Compact body: 200 x 134.7 x 7.2 mm
• 7.9" LED-backlit IPS LCD touchscreen, 768 x 1024 pixels; scratch-resistant, oleophobic coating
• Dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n connectivity, carrier-dependent hotspot support
• Optional 2G/3G GSM, CDMA, LTE connectivity (data only, separate models)
• Optional GPS with A-GPS support (for the 3G model only)
• Apple A5 SoC, dual-core Cortex-A9 @ 1GHz chipset
• 512MB of RAM
• PowerVR SGX543MP2 dual-core GPU
• iOS 6 with Siri, iCloud support and activation
• 16/32/64GB of inbuilt storage
• Weight of 308 grams (312 grams for the Wi-Fi + Cellular option)
• Bluetooth 4.0
• 16.3Wh battery
• Accelerometer, compass and three-axis gyro-sensor
• Compatible with every iPad and iPhone app without any modifications
• The base version costs less than a SIM-free iPhone 4, only $30 more than iPod touch
• 5MP auto-focus camera
• 1080p video recording at 30fps
• 1.2MP secondary camera capable of FaceTime calls, 720p recording
• Four and five-finger gestures
• 1080p TV-output with the Apple Digital AV Adapter (purchased separately for $49), 1080p video streaming
• Supports magnetic cases
• Lightning connector
• Stereo loudspeakers

Main disadvantages

• More expensive than 7" Android tablets, only $70 cheaper than iPad 2
• No Retina display, 162ppi only
• Same chipset as iPad 2, now two generations old
• iTunes still required for most of the content uploads
• Reflective screen struggles outdoors
• No standard USB port, Lightning accessories still rare and expensive
• No GPS receiver in the Wi-Fi version
• No memory card slot
• Lack of basic iOS apps - stocks, calculator, voice memos

The disadvantage list may seem longer than usual but most of the items there are general complaints that apply to virtually all Apple products, like the absence of a memory card slot. The way we see it, there are three main problems with the iPad mini - the (relatively) low-res screen, the old chipset and the price.
Apple products have so far effortlessly hit it big with users despite their perceived limitations compared to the competition. The new crop of iPads - the iPad 4 and iPad mini - already sold in the millions.

iPad mini in our office
The software - iOS 6 - should be very familiar to Apple users, but the hardware is new. It's not like the big iPads, which mostly varied in thickness, this one has been designed to comfortably hold in one hand and slip into a coat pocket.
Some analysts have gone as far as to say that the iPad mini will become the iPad - it's highly portable, capable enough and drawing on the vast resources of the Apple eco-system. And if you adjust for the "Apple tax", the mini isn't that expensive.

 

Sony Xperia Z

 

Introduction

Whether they had a point to prove to the ex or simply kept themselves busy to get over it, Sony were hard at work in the last year or so. They can look back at a prolific period, though somewhat lacking in brilliance. Keen to quickly build a lineup from scratch, the company was consciously avoiding fights that were impossible to win. Steering clear of the premium end, Sony positioned its flagship devices just below the Samsung Galaxies and the iPhones.

Sony Xperia Z official photos
Now with solid backup in the midrange, returning to the fiercest battle in the mobile market is Sony's top priority. The Xperia Z, which leads the charge, got us properly impressed in a recent hands-on and if it walks unscathed from a complete review, we'll know the Japanese have hit the form of their life. Sony is the first of the major manufacturers to bring 5 inches of 1080p goodness to the market, which not only is a morale booster, but will get cash registers chiming too.

Key features

• Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support; 3G with HSPA; LTE
• 5" 16M-color 1080p capacitive touchscreen with 441ppi pixel density; Bravia Mobile Engine 2
• Android OS v4.1.1 Jelly Bean with custom UI
• Quad-core 1.5 GHz Krait CPU, 2 GB RAM, Adreno 320 GPU; Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset
• 13 MP autofocus camera with LED flash and geo-tagging, HDR
• 1080p video recording @ 30fps with HDR mode, continuous autofocus and stereo sound
• 2.2 MP front-facing camera, 1080p video recording
• IP 57 certification - dust resistant and water resistant
• Wi-Fi a/b/g/n, Wi-Fi Direct and DLNA; Wireless TV out
• GPS with A-GPS, GLONASS
• 16GB of built-in storage; microSD card slot
• MHL-enabled microUSB port
• Bluetooth v4.0
• NFC
• Standard 3.5 mm audio jack
• Accelerometer and proximity sensor
• Active noise cancellation with dedicated mic
• Glass front and back panels

Main disadvantage

• Low contrast display with below-par viewing angles
• Non user-replaceable battery
• 13MP camera hardly any better than some competitors' 8MP units
• Feeble loudspeaker

The Sony Xperia Z is stuff geeks' dreams are made of, it's designed and built to the highest standard and has raw processing power to spare. IP57-certified - on top of that - for dust and water resistance, it's tougher than most competitors. High-end smartphones aren't quite fit for the beach or white water rafting, but the Xperia Z won't be at odds with your active lifestyle.

Sony Xperia Z studio shots
The Xperia Z seems to have all the best technology currently available under the hood, so no wonder it's been at or near the top of our interest chart ever since it was announced at CES. And now, just one week away from its European release, we are about to see how likely it is to stay there for a good while.
