HP Laptop Battery that Lasts an Entire Day
By Jenny Huntington
18:31, September 9th 2008
Next month, Hewlett-Packard will be releasing a laptop that can run for twenty-four hours on a high-capacity battery, but only if it is also running the Windows XP operating system. The notebook is said to be a special configuration of the company’s EliteBook 6930p model, which is part of a line aimed at businesses.
In order to obtain this outstanding battery performance, the laptop will have to run on Microsoft’s Windows XP, since the company’s most recent version of the Windows operating system, Vista, has some power-draining features. Moreover, it will be fitted with HP's Illumi-Lite LED display instead of an LCD screen, which is said to add four more hours to a battery’s life and will also use an Intel Solid-State Drive, which is reported to make batteries last 7% longer than they would if information were to be stored on a rotating magnetic disk.
Up to now, Hewlett-Packard has yet to give out information concerning the price of the twenty-four hour battery life configuration of the notebook. The basic version costs $1,199 and the optional 12-cell ultra-capacity battery that can boost the laptop’s battery time by ten hours is priced at $189. Once launched, the new laptop will have to compete with Dell’s Latitude E6400, which hit the market in August this year and can run nineteen hours on a single battery charge.
Hewlett-Packard Incorporated is currently the largest worldwide seller of personal computers and also the fifth largest software company, with a reported revenue of $104 billion last year.

Sixth Pay Commission: Armed forces take pay panel grievances to PMO
Sixth Pay Commission: Armed forces take pay panel grievances to PMO
6 Sep 2008, 0237 hrs IST,TNN
NEW DELHI: The armed forces have now taken the raging battle over the 6th Pay Commission right till the PMO, seeking direct intervention from the country’s top political leadership in restoring their parity with their civilian and paramilitary counterparts.
Navy Chief Admiral Sureesh Mehta, in his capacity as the chairman of the chiefs of staff committee (CoSC), made a representation to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Thursday about their grievances with the August 29 gazette notification of new pay scales.
‘‘Apart from briefing the PM on his recent visits to Japan and South Korea as well as the rescue operations in flood-hit Bihar, Admiral Mehta presented a written brief to PM about the demoralisation in the three Services due to the new pay scales,’’ said a source.
To ensure that this unprecedented action is not seen as mutinous in any way, the armed forces have reposed their ‘‘full confidence’’ in the Union Cabinet in the latest letter written to defence minister A K Antony by the CoSC chairman.
The forces, in fact, want the pay notification to ‘‘be kept in abeyance’’ till the Union Cabinet considers the ‘‘core issues’’ and issues corrective directions to ensure that its officers are not downgraded, in terms of pay and status, in comparison with other civil services and paramilitary forces, including the IPS.
If this is not done, it will lead to ‘‘despondency’’ among the ‘‘badly demoralized’’ officers of the three Services. Moreover, it will seriously jeopardise ‘‘operational’’ and ‘‘functional’’ harmony between the armed forces and the paramilitary forces whenever they operate together, warned Admiral Mehta, in his letter.
The main grouse of the forces revolves around the fact that the ‘‘extant parity’’ of Lt-Colonel rank officers has been lowered by retaining them in Pay Band-3 (Rs 15,600-39,100), while raising similarly placed civilians and paramilitary officers to PB-4 (Rs 37,400-67,000). The forces have also sought restoration of parity in grade pay for lower and middle rung Service officers with their civilian counterparts, who are going to get more as per the new pay scales.
Then, of course, the armed forces are also angry at the fact that all directors-general of police and their equivalents have been placed over Lt-Generals by the creation of a new ‘‘higher administrative grade-plus’’.
The ‘‘lowering of status’’ of Lt-Cols and their equivalent ranks in IAF (Wing Commander) and Navy (Commander), who constitute the bulk of the fighting force among officers, is of course the most painful for the forces.

He highlighted his government's achievement's in the last four and a half years and claimed that what his party's government has done for the people during the period, Congress was unable to do the same in the last 50 years of its rule.
Regarding India's achievement in negotiating the nuclear deal with the Nuclear Supply Group (NSG) he said that the country has the right to conduct nuclear tests and that nobody would be able to take away from it.
To a question, he said that laws are there because of people and not vice-versa, therefore any law which obstructs the development of the people will be changed and added that his government has changes several such laws during its tenure.
