Rumour: iPhone 5 Will Be Made Of "Liquidmetal"

Apple could be making the upcoming iPhone 5 using “Liquidmetal” technology. The iPhone-maker had recently acquired rights to use Liquid Metal alloy from California-based Liquidmetal Technologies. Liquid Metal instantly reminds most of us of the Sci-Fi blockbuster Terminator 2, in which the antagonist is a shape-shifting android who melts into a liquid metal that appears like mercury. We are assuming that the new alloy will probably give the new device similar looks with smooth curves, and a design without any sharp edges; yet another hint at a unibody design.

India Bans Popular Filesharing Websites

RapidShare, Megaupload and others blocked by the Department of Telecom.
There has been no official announcement from either the ISPs or the Department of Telecom (DoT) on the ban. I encountered the same static page with MTNL and Airtel when I tried accessing the filesharing websites earlier in the day. Interestingly, various filesharing portals have been banned and unbanned intermittently since last night across different ISPs. As of this writing, I found both MTNL and Airtel to have lifted the ban. However, there is no saying if and when then ban will recur.

Although users can bypass the ban with proxies (by enabling Opera Turbo in the Opera browser, for example), it’s still ridiculous for the DoT to infringe upon users’ rights. Forums are abuzz with various conspiracy theories, including one that cites Bollywood lobbying for the ban under the pretext of piracy.

Google’s Tablet Debut Pushed Back To July

Efforts to reduce production costs touted as the main reason for the delay.
The launch date of its first co-branded Android device has been pushed further from its original May deadline, because the company is trying to tweak the device. Apparently, it is trying to change the design to lower the cost from the current $250 (Rs 12,800). 
The company is reportedly targeting a price tag between $150 (Rs 7700) and $200 (Rs 10,200) to compete against Amazon‘s similarly priced Kindle Fire. Apple is also planning to launch a smaller version of the iPad, sporting a 7.85″ screen for a lower price, hence that is surely being taken into consideration by Google.
