TECH-Intel announces Atom Lexington Z2420 chip for 'affordable' mobile devices

Intel said Monday it would step up efforts to make chips for smartphones and other mobile devices by targeting emerging markets and the rapidly growing "value" segment.Intel unveiled its plans at the Consumer Electronics Show, the world's biggest tech sector event, highlighting its efforts to get a bigger share of the sizzling mobile market.
Intel said its plans include "a new smartphone platform for emerging markets," one of the fastest growing areas for these devices.
"The best of Intel is coming to a mobile device near you," said Intel's Kirk Skaugen.
"We are set to deliver the biggest increase in battery efficiency in Intel's history while adding broad new human interfaces to computing devices through touch, voice, facial recognition, and gesture-based interactions.
"We're also significantly extending the performance and power savings in Atom processors as we accelerate our mobile offerings in an unprecedented fashion in 2013."
Intel said its low-power Atom processor-based platform would be targeted at the value smartphone market segment, estimated to reach 500 million units by 2015.
It said companies supporting the effort include Acer, Lava International and Safaricom.
Intel is the world's biggest maker of computer chips, but has been struggling as consumers and businesses shift to mobile devices powered by a different kind of processor.

How to --Draw Roses

Learning how to draw roses, one of the most popular flowers anywhere in the world, can seem daunting at first sight.

When you look at all the intricate ways in which the petals appear to curl and fold around each other, you wonder where to start.

However, once you realise how the basic structure of a rose is formed, it suddenly becomes easier to understand. Even moreso, when you realize that anything you draw can be formed with just five basic shapes which you can find in the article by clicking on the link.

Before roses actually open out, each petal is wrapped around the one below like a spiral.

A really good way to understand and see this is to peel a tomato as you would peel an apple.

If you can keep the peel in one long piece, then roll it up, you'll find it makes a perfect impression of a rose that hasn't yet fully bloomed!

Keep this spiral effect in mind when you're drawing and it may help.

Anyone in the catering trade will know this trick. As an aside from drawing, it's a really neat way to embellish a salad...

However, enough of the food. We're here to draw.

Let's move on to Stage 1 of this how to draw roses tutorial.

How To Draw Roses - Stage 1

If we look at the two photos, you'll see one is of a rose that's still to open, whilst one is of a beautiful peach color in full bloom.

In my usual style, I've superimposed guide lines over the pictures to show that despite the intricacy of the petals, they're really only basic shapes to point you in the right direction. These should also make sure the sizes are in proportion as well.

How To Draw Roses - Stage 2

In Stage 2 of How to Draw Roses, we can see that by taking away the the pictures, we're left with basic shapes that provide a sort of 'scaffolding'.

Sketch these shapes lightly in pencil until you're happy with the overall proportions.

How To Draw Roses - Stage 3

Moving on to Stage 3, you'll notice I've drawn a spiral for the main shape of the larger rose.

I've inked this in so you can see it easier, but for now, just put this line in pencil, becuase you'll be erasing it shortly.

---

How To Draw Roses - Stage 4

In this next stage, I've inked in the final shapes, once I'm happy with the look of the flowers.

Some of the spiral has been stretched a little here and there and the triangles have been slightly rounded off to indicate where the petals have started to curl over.

---

How To Draw Roses - Final Stage

The final part of this article sees the addition of some light pen marks to indicate shadow areas and give some 'body' to the roses.

Note how they've been drawn on the larger rose in the direction that the petals actually grow to suggest the veins and undulations. Have a close look at a petal on a real rose and you'll see what I mean.

So there we have our 'How to Draw Roses tutorial. As a bonus, you also now know how to make a rose from a tomato !! Click on the links below to find lots more tutorials. Keep coming back as well. I'm adding mew articles all the time.

लंदन।। फेसबुक जल्द ही अपने यूजर्स को फ्री वॉइस कॉल की फैसिलिटी देने की तैयारी में है। इसके लिए मेसेंजर एप में नया फीचर जोड़ा जाएगा। इसके जरिए आप अपने किसी भी फेसबुक फ्रेंड से बात कर सकेंगे, वह भी बिना जेब ढीली किए।

वॉइस ओवर इंटरनेट प्रोटोकॉल (वीओआईपी) तकनीक से फ्री इंटरनेट कॉल की इस सुविधा का इन दिनों कनाडा में ट्रायल चल रहा है। इस फैसिलिटी का फेसबुक की ओर से कोई चार्ज नहीं लिया जाएगा। लेकिन तकनीकी रूप से देखें तो यह बिल्कुल मुफ्त नहीं है। इंटरनेट यूज करने के लिए इस्तेमाल डाटा पर मामूली चार्ज देना होगा।

कुछ समय पहले फेसबुक मेसेंजर ने दुनिया भर में वॉइसमेल की तरह मेसेजिंग का फीचर लॉन्च किया था, जिसके जरिए आप अपने फ्रेंड्स को अपनी आवाज में मेसेज रेकॉर्ड करके भेज सकते हैं। कुछ एक्सपर्ट्स का दावा है कि फेसबुक जल्द ही इसी तरह की फ्री विडियो मेसेजिंग सुविधा देने पर भी काम कर रहा है। एक्सपर्ट्स का मानना है कि फेसबुक वॉइस मेसेजिंग और वीओआईपी जैसी सुविधाएं देकर कॉल करने के पारंपरिक तरीके को चुनौती देने की तैयारी में है
