High Costs than Expected of Samsung Galaxy Tablet :
now Apple iPad costs $500 and the leaked cost of Samsung Galaxy Tab is $650 ($400 if you sign 2yrs long contract for services)... are they nuts or what, they got poor resolution and way poor brand-name than Apple... leave all that, its Android based tablet and even after using OpenSource platform they cost high

 Facebook flaw let you Add Anyone to Group :
 one more flaw recently noticed in Facebook is anyone could be added to a Facebook Group without the account owner's prior permission or choice. Suppose you create a Group and want anyone to be its member just add his/her name in members to be added and mark its 'Privacy' status as 'Closed'. Now, whom all you added as member will be directly added without any confirmation required... nice :)

Ubuntu 10.10 released
newer version of Ubuntu has been relased on 10-10-2010... its giving games a next-gen graphics overhaul. The kernel 2.6.35 has seen graphics improvement and the OpenGL drivers included are DirectX 11 equivalent. When you will start playing a game or powerful HD Video, it will automatically shift onto nVidia or ATI(now AMD, :( ) card.
