Hi-tech Warship USS New York, LPD-21, whose stem bow has been constructed out of the seven and a half tons of steel recovered from World Trade Center's twin towers site after the 9/11 catastrophe, has finally sailed today for its namesake city. Built in New Orleans, USS New York at the moment is heading towards NYC where it is going to be commissioned next month. It was christened "New York" to honor the 9/11 attack victims in that city.

HTC has finally, in an official announcement unveiled its long awaited high-end mobile device called HTC HD2 which was previously codenamed as Leo. HTC HD2 is powered by Microsoft's newly released Windows Mobile 6.5 and will be the first Windows phone to feature multi-touch support through HTC Sense (aka HTC TouchFLO 3D 2.5) which up till now was only available on the company's Android-based handsets like HTC Hero.
To mark the 140th birthday of Mahatma Gandhi, search engine giant Google replaced the letter ‘G’ on its Indian homepage with the face sketch of Indian Independence leader Gandhi who has been famous the world over for his philosophy of ‘Non Violence’. He, after Rabindranath Tagore, is the second person from Indian subcontinent to appear on Google’s homepage.
Following in the footsteps of Microsoft and Apple, Yahoo! today has launched its new advertising campaign, promoting “Yahoo!” as a brand through its new US $100 million dollar “Anthem” ad campaign. The new ad which is of a minute in duration covers people from all over the world, giving nice glimpses of their lifestyles, cultures and emphasizes on the word “You” a lot.
Microsoft has released a new set, consisting of nine ads describing its latest operating system - Windows 7, prior to its official consumer launch in market. The main focus of these ads is to introduce Windows 7 to the masses with its new features and capabilities. These new ads surely look good but how far will these go to convince people for buying Windows 7 is yet to be seen.
It looks like HTC HD2 will be arriving much sooner than we first thought it would. Engadget has been informed by a reliable source that UK carrier O2 will be launching HTC Leo on October 12 as HD2. O2 has it listed already on its intranet site with an October 12 launch date.
Apple has released three new ads promoting its Apps for iPhone. With over 75,000 apps in its sleeve, Apple, beyond any doubt, has the largest number of Apps in its App Store. There is an App for almost anything that you can think off! The biggest inventory of apps in its store gives Apple huge edge over all other major mobile platforms like Android, Windows Mobile and Symbian.
Most of the secrets about the eagerly awaited HTC Leo saddled with Windows Mobile 6.5 are out already except for its release date and expected price. With its large size 4.3-inches multitouch screen and amazing specs, it looks like it is going to bulldoze all others devices in its path and is surely going to be a big hit.
There is no doubt about the fact that iPhone is one of the most popular cell phone out there. The argument for a longer battery life on the iPhone is relative in terms of its user requirement. If used as a cell phone, for the primary purpose that it has been designed for, the battery life would be fine and will last probably all day. However, if someone likes to use it as portable computer which I assume most iPhone users are doing, for checking email, web browsing, playing games etc, then the battery is comparable to that of any standard notebook at best.
Recently, Google’s new doodle with its theme of "unexplained phenomenon" caused a big buzz on the web world. Everyone came up with their own versions of stories on their sites, Facebook and Twitter pages explaining why Google has chosen a UFO to display upon their search engine website depicting a flying saucer sucking away the second "O" in Google with its tracking beam.
