It is a highly attractive device, and I'm sure end customers will value it."  

The MegaFon Mint features a sleek, matte black casing and a 4.03-inch high-resolution LCD touchscreen for crisp text and vibrant images. The device's 1.6 GHz Intel® Atom™ Processor, 400 MHz graphics clock and support for full 1080p HD video provide users with an immersive gaming and video experience. The Mint also comes equipped with an 8-megapixel camera delivering advanced imaging capabilities that includes burst mode to take 10 pictures in under a second. Intel and MegaFon worked closely to customize the Android*-based smartphone that includes a host of MegaFon applications and services.   

"Our engagement with MegaFon is a step forward in accelerating the adoption of Intel® architecture across new mobile market segments and geographies," said Christopher McGuire, general manager of reference devices for Intel's Mobile and Communications Group.

Citi Mobile Customers Logged in 100,000 Times in July

In July 2012, customers of Citi Handlowy's mobile banking logged in to the system more than 100,000 times. The latest features such as FotoKasa or Bump to Transfer as well a change in the application interface were key reasons for the success.

“Mobile banking of Citi Handlowy is ever more popular,” says Adam Grabarczyk, Head of Remote Banking Department of Citi Handlowy. “The number of customers who log in to the Citi Mobile application is constantly growing. In July, it exceeded 114,000. It is also worth stressing that as many as 70 percent of new users of Citi Mobile log in to the service by means of the application. It is the effect of innovative features, for example, FotoKasa, the first service on the market enabling the customers to make payments by scanning 2D codes and the new application interface.”

Citi Mobile was first introduced in 2010. As part of the application, features such as FotoKasa and Bump to Transfer were launched. The former enables its users to make payments by scanning 2D codes. Now, payments with FotoKasa are available to customers of UPC, PGNiG, TP SA and PTK Centertel (the operator of Orange mobile network), which represents a group of a few million customers in total. Since the second quarter, payments with FotoKasa have been available in cabs of MPT, a Warsaw taxi company. The manners of making payments with FotoKasa are shown in the film on Citi Handlowy's channel.

The Bump to Transfer solution has been designed in a "social" spirit. It enables its users to quickly transfer funds from an account of one customer of Citi Handlowy to an account of the other customer by "bumping" phones. The manners of using Bump to Transfer application are shown in the instructional film on Citi Handlowy's channel on YouTube.com.

Newsweek Weekly recognized the Citi Mobile banking service as one of the market's three best offerings ("2011 Newsweek's Friendly Bank" ranking). In the "Report on functionalities of mobile banking applications," Citi Handlowy was ranked among three best banks offering mobile applications for smartphones.

Sony Develops “Exmor RS,” the World's First*1 Stacked CMOS Image Sensor

 Images  : Imaging modules (left to right): the 'IU135F3-Z,' 'IU134F9-Z' and 'IUS014F-Z'
Below: "Exmor RS" stacked CMOS image sensors (left to right): 'IMX135,' 'IMX134' and 'ISX014'

Sony Develops “Exmor RS,” the World's First^*1 Stacked CMOS Image Sensor
Also introduces imaging modules that deliver high picture quality and compact 
size, for use in mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets

August 20, 2012, Tokyo, Japan - Sony Corporation (“Sony”) today announced the commercialization of “Exmor RS,” the world's first^(*1) CMOS image sensor incorporating a unique, newly-developed ‘stacked structure.’ Shipments will commence in October. Sony is introducing three models of the “Exmor RS,” stacked CMOS image sensor, for use in smartphones and tablets, which combine superior image quality and advanced functionality with compact size. Sony will also launch three corresponding imaging modules incorporating these sensors.
Going forward, Sony will continue to evolve its digital imaging products, while aggressively pursuing the further development and expansion of its core “Exmor RS” stacked CMOS image sensor technologies and lineup, in order to deliver increasingly diverse and user-friendly image capturing experiences.

The “Exmor RS” is a CMOS image sensor that adopts a unique ‘stacked structure.’ This structure layers the pixel section, containing formations of back-illuminated pixels over the chip affixed with mounted circuits for signal processing, in place of conventional supporting substrates used for back-illuminated CMOS image sensors.

Two of the three “Exmor RS” models Sony is launching are the ‘IMX135’, a type 1/3.06 model with 13.13 effective megapixels and the ‘IMX134’, a type 1/4 model with 8.08 effective megapixels, which feature ‘RGBW coding’ function and ‘HDR (High Dynamic Range) movie’ function. The ‘RGBW coding’ function can capture sharp, clear images even when filmed or photographed in low light conditions, such as a dark room or at night by featuring W (white) pixels in addition to conventional RGB (red-green-blue) pixels, and leveraging Sony’s proprietary device technology and signal processing to heighten sensitivity without compromising its high resolution. ‘HDR (High Dynamic Range) movie’ function enables two different exposure conditions to be configured within a single screen when shooting, and seamlessly performs appropriate image processing to generate optimal images with a wide dynamic range and brilliant colors, even when pictures are taken against bright light. The other “Exmor RS” model is the ‘ISX014’, a type 1/4 model with 8.08 effective megapixels, which has a built-in camera signal processing function.

Burn a CD or DVD from an ISO file in Windows 7

An ISO file, also called a disc image, is a single file that’s a copy of an entire data CD or DVD. When you burn a CD or DVD from an ISO file, the new disc has the same folders, files, and properties as the original disc. The most common way to get an ISO file is to download it from a website. For example, you might download and then use an ISO file to update software on your computer.

           You can burn a disc image file, which often has either an .iso or .img file name extension, to a recordable CD or DVD by using Windows Disc Image Burner. Whether you can burn it to a recordable CD, DVD, or Blu‑ray Disc depends on your disc burner and the type of discs it can burn, the size of the disc image file, as well as the device on which you plan to use the disc.

 1. Insert a recordable CD, DVD, or Blu‑ray Disc into your disc burner.

 2. Open Computer by clicking the Start button , and then clicking Computer.

 3. In Windows Explorer, find the disc image file, and then double-click it. 

 4. If you have more than one disc burner, from the Disc burner list in Windows Disc
     Image Burner, click the burner that you want to use.

 5. (Optional) If you want to verify that the disc image was burned correctly to the disc,
     select the Verify disc after burning check box.
    
     If the integrity of disc image file is critical (for example, the disc image file contains
     a firmware update), you should select this check box.

 6. Click Burn to burn the disc.

else on your Windows 8 device. Internet Explorer 10 provides an edge-to-edge, fast, and fluid
experience that gives you less browser and more web.



Less browser, more web : Internet Explorer 10 puts the focus on the web, not the browser. It dedicates your entire screen to your websites so the web is literally edge-to-edge. There only when you need them, browser tabs and navigation controls appear and then quietly get out of the way when
you don’t want them anymore.

Fast and fluid : With Internet Explorer 10, the web is fast. By taking advantage of Windows 8 and your device’s hardware, browsing with Internet Explorer is as fast and fluid like the rest of Windows
8. Every navigation, every action you want to do on the web is a swipe or a tap away. And
with the continued innovations in hardware acceleration, Internet Explorer allows web
developers and designers to build increasingly rich and immersive web experiences that run
as fast as local apps on your Windows 8 PC.

A more trusted web : Internet Explorer 10 Release Preview continues to provide a trusted browsing experience,
helping to keep you safe from the real-world security and privacy concerns that come with the modern web. Building on the security platform of Windows and harnessing SmartScreen Filter, Internet Explorer is recognized as a leader in protecting against sociallyengineered malware and phishing, and it will help keep you more secure when browsing the web. Internet Explorer gives you choice and better control over your online privacy with innovative Tracking Protection privacy controls.

Based on standards : Internet Explorer has one underlying platform that supports HTML5 and enables the same markup to work across many other modern browsers. And with extensive support
for additional standards spanning HTML5, CSS3, and EcmaScript5, Internet Explorer 10
Release Preview provides developers with a standards-based platform they can use to write
increasingly rich and beautiful sites that are free of plug-ins.

else you want.

comes to life with all the things that make Windows yours, including your Start page, themes, language preferences, browsing history, and browser favorites. You can connect your favorite services to your Microsoft account, too—services like Microsoft Hotmail, Microsoft Messenger, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and more. And you can immediately get
to your photos, docs, and other files, whether they’re on Microsoft SkyDrive, Facebook, Flickr, or other services.

All the apps you want

Apps are the heart of Windows 8. You’ll be able to get up to speed quickly with a set of built-in apps for the things you do the most. Designed for your connected lifestyle, these apps integrate with the services you already use.
