Brazilian phone maker offers new Android device called the iPhone!

December 21, 2012

Brazilian consumer electronics maker Gradiente has begun marketing a new device under the iPhone brand after being granted the exclusive right to use the trademark in Brazil through 2018.

But Gradiente can only use the name in Brazil and nowhere else.

The company in fact filed its application with the Brazilian trademark office a few years before Apple ever released its first smartphone in March 2007.

Gradiente said in a statement that it applied for the trademark back in 2000, after realizing "there would be a technological revolution in the world of cellphones with the convergence of voice and data transmission and the reception via mobile Internet."

Not that Gradiente's iphone is itself all that revolutionary. The device, which retails for around US $290 and bears the rather tongue-twisting designation "Smartphone linha G Gradiente iphone, modelo Neo One GC 500," appears to be the same thing as an earlier model that Gradiente marketed simply as the Neo One GC 500. The only thing that has changed is the branding.

Introduction To Hacking

Hello guys!!
Today i'm going to tell about what does HACKING really means? or who are the HACKERS?
As far as my knowledge is concerned hacking is simply a technical skill set. So understanding how hacking works, understanding how hacking attacks happen or being able to plan hacking attacks etc. is simply a technical skill set. Now you have to understand, if you decide to hacking in the real world (?), you are liable for any legal ramifications for that!! So, if you steal somebody's data that you're not supposed to steal or look at or you slow down the systems or destroy systems etcetera, THAT IS ALL ON YOU!! DO NOT BLAME ME FOR THAT!! (:P) In the upcoming blogs i'm going to tell you how to do hacking based on how malicious hackers would attack. So i'm gonna talk about how you plan attacks, why you do hacking, what you could do with hacking once you're into it, but like i said this is all just for informational purposes, if you decide to hack anything, thats all on you. DO NOT BLAME ME!

Introduction To My Technology Blog

Welcome to my technology blog!  As I come across interesting stuff, I'll post my musings here.

What qualifies as "interesting" for Durgesh?  Well, that's a pretty broad range of topics!  First and foremost, I'm always interested in improving efficiency and expanding services through better utilization of technology.  This is a journey, not a destination.  As we implement new technologies, I'll share our successes (or failures) here.

Another topic might be if I run into a technical problem, and then find a nice solution for it.  I might learn about an application or piece of hardware that offers helpful features.  Maybe there's an upcoming tech-related event that's of interest.  I also might come across a good magazine article.  The only thing for sure is that no matter what I write about, it will be related to technology in one way or another. 

By the way, "IT" stands for "Information Technology".  The vast majority of the people reading this page will know that, or they wouldn't be here.  No, I'm not trying to be condescending.  I just wanted to clarify that acronym in case somebody accidentally landed here from a Google search or something.

Anyway, feel free to wander.  And I really like it when people post responses to my blog.  In order to post a response, you need to register, though.  Don't worry, registering is free, and your information is kept strictly confidential. 

Enjoy!
Durgesh.
