Intel and Nokia have announced the University of Oulu in Finland, which has expertise in 3D interfaces, will be the home of their first joint research lab.

The news is an indication of progress on software in the partnership announced in June last year between the biggest chipmaker and handset maker, but there remains no evidence yet of the exciting new hardware that was promised.

Intel had described its deal with Nokia in 2009 as the year’s most significant collaboration and Nokia said it would “explore new ideas in designs, materials and displays that will go far beyond devices and services on the market today.”

All well and good, but Intel, which is trying to break into the smartphone market this year, and Nokia, which is struggling to maintain its grip in it, need results fast and there is little sign of the partnership bearing significant fruit anytime soon.

The biggest step to date has been the decision in February to combine the two companies’ Linux work – Nokia’s Maemo and Intel’s Moblin into a common open-source platform called MeeGo.

Martin Curley, director of Intel Labs Europe, said on Monday there was now an “active and vibrant community” developing applications for MeeGo and the first developer conference will take place in October in Dublin.

“MeeGo has got the biggest attention,”Mika Setälä, Director of Nokia Strategy Alliances and Partnerships, told a media conference call, adding: “We are still exploring with Intel the possibilities to do something together on the hardware side, but today we don’t have any news to announce.”

A third aspect of the partnership – Intel licensing Nokia’s modem technologies – has become a moot point with the sale of that business to Renesas in July.

The new research lab at Oulu is opening with around two dozen researchers culled from the local community. The university has become a centre of expertise in 3D, with the open-source virtual reality platform realXtend created there.

Initial research will focus on 3D mobile interfaces and virtual worlds being used in mobile environments, but company executives cautioned this was a long-term project and the rapid addition of this to the operating systems of handsets was unlikely.

I have purchased a few gadgets through a friend who is a student in the United States and the total cost of this is at around 600$. Now since he has already shipped me the purchase through USPS, i need to send him the payment but it seems like he is only accepting Wire Transfer payment and is not interested in taking the funds transfer via Paypal. I need to know how can i make a Outward Remittance and how is it possible to send the funds directly into his bank Account. Can i post him a Check in Indian Rupees which is equivalent to the payment i need to pay him or a Demand Draft issued by any Nationalized Bank? Will there be any issue regarding this like the Government taking this transaction as a Illegal one and issuing a fine on me? – Question by Reader

Transfer Money USWhenever you plan to make a payment or send funds to a Abroad Country then this transaction would be called as Outward Remittance and these kind of transactions cannot be easily managed. Actually Indian Currency is completely managed and the Reserve bank of India keeps a close watch on all the funds which are converted from Indian Rupees to United States Dollars or any other currencies. When you bring in thousands of Dollars through Paypal or Wire Transfers ie Bank Funds Transfer from the US to India, the Reserve Bank of India has no issues with it and it would rarely ask for any documents, except adding your PAN Card Number in your Paypal Account so that all the transactions are accounted, but when you need to even send a small amount of money from India to US, the govt acts weird with a number of rules. Here is a detailed process on how to perform this.

* You need to visit a Nationalized Bank in your locality or else a Private Bank like ICICI Bank which have separate counters for these kind of NRI Services helpful for people who want to do Inter Country Transactions.
* Next ask them to issue a Bank Check in foreign currency example USD. For this you need to have a Savings or Current Account with the Bank,
* Following which the equivalent amount of money you would like to transfer would be debited to your Bank Account.

You will need to carry your Bank Account Passbook, Check Book for issue of check to debit the Bank Account, The invoice Note or Purchase Slip where the funds information is listed for payment.

The above listed process would look very simple because you just need to visit the bank and advice them to generate a Check in foreign currency but this won’t work always and there are risks along with delay involved. This is because you need to later send the Check via Post to the receiver and then they have to deposit the same in their Bank Account for clearance which would take more time.

A Indian National who wants to transfer their money to the United States needs to follow certain conditions and cannot remit more than 25,000 USD. If the payments are made from your Savings ie from your Tax Paid Income then you dont have to pay any other taxes on these transactions but if its for Business or a service offered, then the payment made would be charged with an extra 12.24% of Bank Charges or commission.

Services like Western Union, Ikobo, Xoom & MoneyGram won’t be applicable here because they are not allowed legally by the government. Its always adviced to confirm the fees the banks would charge you for the Wire Transfer Payments.http://www.amitbhawani.com/blog/wp-admin/post-new.php

Alternative Ways :

* Paypal – You can directly send payments through Paypal, but in this case the receiver should also have a Paypal Account and this service even though is almost instant would be charging you high amount of Transaction Fees when you plan to send higher amount of funds.
* ICICI Outward Remittance – This is a excellent service from India’s Biggest Private Bank which offers you with Wire Transfer or Foreign Currency Demand Draft where you will be asked with the following details of the Receivers Bank Account – Bank Name, SWIFT Code, Routing Number, Bank Account Number etc. The service attracts a fees like 20$ when you send a amount of around 1000 USD and the correct details can be given by the Bank only.

Problem : I want to a create a web based form which i can either sent directly to my friends or clients as a link or else embed the same in my blog which can be used as a feedback form. Is there any better way to get this job done and also along i want to link this with a Online service so that all the data received is easy to handle and also stored in the cloud, reducing the risk of losing everything.

Solution : The best tool which we can recommend you is using the Google Docs online service, which is not only Online but also secure and which allows you to store the data in your Google account accessible from your computer & Smartphone. There is no need to try out using the forms option available under the Microsoft Office suite ie MS Word, Excel or powerpoint. Just visit the service at http://docs.google.com/.

Next on the left side menu, you need to click on the ‘Create New’ option which will display a list of stuff you can create using the Google Docs.

Create New Google Docs

Once you click on the Create New Form, a new window would be opened displaying the basic options as shown below named as untitled form under a untitled template.

Google Docs Sample Form

Once you have entered the Form Name and some useful description which is related to the form you are creating, you will be asked to enter a Question Title and Help Text which wont be shown directly. Next it will be asking you the ‘Question Type’ which is the section where you need to select from the following seven options – Text, Paragraph Text, Multiple Choice, Check-boxes, Choose from a list, Scale & Grid. Based on your requirements you can decide and select the right options. Since we are asking our readers some question, we opted for the Multiple Choice option which would ask you to enter a minimum of 2 different options, while clicking on the add ‘other’ link would add more options there.

If you plan to add another similar question below, you can click on the Duplicate button and the delete button is useful for deleting a question from your form. Check on the ‘Make this a required question’ option for making sure that someone has to answer this question to submit the form.

Google Docs Form Setup

We had selected the Multiple Choice option for displaying round radio boxes, while selecting the checkboxes option will create squared option boxes. Once all the settings are done, click on the Done button to finalize it.

We can just finish the setup here itself, but there is more. If you would like to have colorful look, then instead of thinking about the complex coding you should be happy because docs offers you with multiple free templates or themes which you need to select from the top ‘Theme:plain’ drop down option. Just click on this option and you will get a list of different available themes which you can activate by clicking on them and then clicking on Apply button to make the theme changes live.
