How dare you reveal the secrets of ipad 2?

Three persons in China have been jailed for leaking a secret about ipad 2. It is no nonsense but highly effectively way of money making in this fast moving corporate world.

The wall street journal reports,

"The Shenzhen Bao'an People's Court, in announcing its decision, said the head of a Chinese electronics-accessories manufacturer allegedly paid a former employee and a then-active employee of Taiwan's Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. for information about the iPad 2 in order to produce protective cases for the device. Hon Hai, known by its trade name Foxconn, makes the iPad 2 and other gadgets for Apple in its factories in China."

It is so pathetic, how these Chinese / Taiwanese people think, oh gosh!! Three people are going to prison in sentences ranging from a year to a year and a half for helping a case-maker get a jump start on the competition. An additional fact, Hon Hai has become the world's biggest contract manufacturer of electronics in part because of its ability to protect the secrets and technology of its clients, which also include HP Co., Sony Corp., Dell Inc. and Nintendo Co.


So let me make a serious guess, this is how we get those expensive gadgets in Chinese versions in local market sometimes even before they are marketed. 

Source Code - A Movie Review

This blog post is about a film I have watched lately, named “Source Code”. In fact it was after watching this film I have thought of writing about it in my blog.

It is just a normal, sci-fi, high-tech Hollywood cinema, but the matter which made me write about it was the plot and the occurrence of it. It can be classed along with “Inception” and the similar likes. It is such a movie, if it really happens in our lives, it will be more and more adjuvant to the humankind. I am pretty sure many scientific souls are researching something similar to it.

Let me write about it briefly, sure I will not write about how the film ends or express about any turning points in the movie, because I want you people to enjoy the story and twists of the film without giving you an idea of the whole movie. I think it will be welcomed amongst many movie freaks, as many of the other movie critics do not follow that thumb rule.

“Source Code” is a project, developed by a scientist, simply which can be used to access or investigate the past from the present. In this particular film that technology is used to identify a train bomber, as he has threatened the public that there will be several other bombs about to explode. So the scientist, who made the project “Source Code” uses the train scene as the past story and sends a person from the present world to the past and investigates about the bomber.

Jake Gyllenhaal plays the role of Colter Stevens the person who goes from present to the past and searches the bomber. Gyllenhaal has done really well, and he looks mature and suitable for characters like this. Some of his films like “Proof”, “Brokeback Mountain”, “zodiac”, "rendition" etc have made / earned him a good name as an actor.

The director, Duncan Jones has done a fabulous job in doing a neat, sophisticated, well accomplished work and more credits should go to him for a well explained story. This is his second major flick besides “Moon” which was his first film came out in 2009.

I rate this movie well with 4 stars out of 5. A must watch movie for the sci-fi freaks.
