60beat iPad Gaming Accessory Could Be The iOS Missing Link ...
It appears the iPad gamepad of our dreams has finally arrived. The 60beat is a full-sized gamepad designed for iOS devices and it connects to iPads and iPhones via the headphone jack. While there aren?t many games that support the technology (yet), the concept is fairly simple. The controller works by sending signals through the devices? microphone jack.
Works with all 60beat GamePad compatible games
Package includes : GamePad and Audio Splitter
4 foot cable from GamePad to headphone jack
Color is white with black joysticks and buttons
Made from hard resin plastic
Because it is portable it won?t bog down your baggage like the iCade accessory and it should be trivial for games makers to add support in future titles. $50 is a little pricey, but it might mean the difference between fun and failure when it comes to run and jump classics like Mega Man on the iPad.

New Challenge on MTV: Battle Of The Exes (Cast List)
I?m not too ashamed to admit that I still love to watch the Real World / Road Rules Challenge shows. I love them. Maybe it?s because I remember a lot of the older cast mates from when they were actually on their original shows. Sure, it?s sad that some of them still haven?t moved on to real jobs and left their small piece of fame behind. But would you? I love the politics behind it all just as much as I love the actual physical challenges. Last season was awesome because they found people who really hated each other and made them work together. For that ?Duel? the people actually found out that they could get along, except for a few. For example, Wes and Kenny NEVER got along, which just proves that some people aren?t meant to be friends. This time around, MTV has come up with some even better. All of the nasty, middle-of-the-night, drunk hook-ups can get pretty scandalous. Not to mention some of the actual long-term relationships that have come from the shows. Now they are taking all of they couples that didn?t work out, and forcing them to work together as partners. That is a [...]

Ministry proposes to provide Air India 330 bln rupees
NEW DELHI |
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - The aviation ministry proposes to provide 330 billion rupees to cash-strapped Air India by 2017 as part of the government's 12th Five-Year Plan, according to a working group report seen by Reuters.
The proposed aid would include an equity infusion of 199 billion rupees into the loss-making carrier and 112 billion rupees for aircraft projects, including purchases and maintenance, the report shows.
The report says the total debts of India's airlines are expected to rise to $20 billion in 2011/12 ending March as they struggle with rising oil prices, high sales taxes on jet fuel and below-cost pricing driven by fierce competition.
State-owned Air India, which is burdened with a debt of $4 billion, said on Thursday its board had approved issuing 75 billion rupees worth of shares to its lenders as part of its financial restructuring. It gave no details on the exact stakes lenders may own.
A consortium of Air India's lenders last month gave broad approval to its financial restructuring, a source previously told Reuters.
Air India is expected to account for more than half of the projected total losses of $3 billion for Indian airlines in 2011/12, the Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation has said.
Domestic air passenger traffic is expected to grow by 12 percent a year until 2017, the working group report shows.
The aviation ministry also proposes to spend 175 billion rupees on the development of airports, the report shows.

EnGenius ESR300H High Power 300Mbps Wireless N Router
Sometimes you just don't need a dual-band, high-end and expensive router. For those with light wireless needs or light budgets; a cheaper, single-band router is fine for web surfing and sharing Internet access and resources across a small wireless network. EnGenius' ESR300H High Power 300 Mbps Wireless N Router is a small, simple single-band router that sells for about $45. It's cheap, it has a surprising number of features, and it's fairly easy to set up. Unfortunately, abysmal throughput in 802.11b/g/n Mixed Mode and some buggy behavior with the software leads me to rate it well below other single-band routers I've tested.
Specs
The ESR300H is a tiny router, much smaller than competing single-band routers on the market (besides most travel routers, that is). It weighs about a pound and measures 9 by 7.8 by 3 inches (HWD). The diminutive device has a WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) button on top, along with seven tiny LED lights with labels that those with less-than-perfect eyesight may need a magnifying glass to read.
The LEDs represent power, wireless and WAN status. There's also a corresponding LED for each of the LAN ports. The four LAN ports on the back panel are only Fast Ethernet 10/100?no Gigabit support. The router also has dual external 2DBi antennas. ?The vendor reports maximum throughput at 300 Mbps.
The most interesting physical characteristic of this router is how small it is. Overall, it's an innocuous-looking little plastic black box with two antennas sticking out. Since current routers tend to have internal antennas, the EHR300H looks dated.
Setup
The router ships with a CD, although you can set up the device manually without the disc. Setup is not wireless; a computer hard-wired to the router is required. The EnGenius Smart Wizard interface launches from the CD. The interface is sharp and helpful enough to walk a user through the preliminary setup steps: connecting cables, powering up the router, and getting to the configuration page.
The problem is that once you first get to the router's configuration page it is not clear in the interface what you should do next. At this point of setup, the router was connected to the Internet and up and running but I still had not configured an SSID, security or any other wireless settings. The interface gives several options: "Home," "Wizard," "Network Settings," and "Logout." I selected "Wizard" because the router still needed to be configured, but I can imagine this confusing users who already launched the EnGenius Smart Wizard.
Selecting "Wizard" within the interface did take me to the wireless configuration screen. A feature I found bothersome was security setup. Instead of displaying the usual security choices like WEP, WPA, WPA2 , the ESR300H's interface allows users to set security levels as "None," "Medium," or "High." It is not clear which level of encryption you are selecting until after you make the choice. For instance, in the interface I selected "High." Once I clicked "Next" to apply the setting, I then saw in the status screen area of the interface that my security was set to "WPA2-PSK." I want to know exactly what security level I am applying before I apply it.
Features, Performance and Some Testing Road Bumps
EnGenius certainly packs a lot of functionality into the device, but not all of the features work well. Setting parental controls, which really is just an Access Control List, proved to be messy. Even worse, once I defined a URL or keyword to block for a specific machine connected to the routers, that machine was not blocked from accessing the URL or keyword from a browser. Parental controls did not work even after a browser cache flush.
I ran into another issue attempting to login to the interface from the computer I used to set up the router. The computer was now connected wirelessly to the router rather than wired, so it had a new IP address. When I attempted to get into the administrator interface the system flashed the message, "Duplicate administrator. If you want to login from this PC, please logout or wait for timeout." I waited about ten minutes and still got the message. Reopening my browser session enabled me to login. I suppose this is a security measure, but it seems flaky in operation.
The router can run in AP or WDS (repeater) mode. It supports up to 4 SSIDs, firewall mapping, DMZ and VPN Pass-through. QoS, NAT, Wake Up on LAN and UPnP are some additional features. The QoS is actually one of the more straight-forward and easy to configure modules within the interface.
The router delivered terrible performance in Mixed Mode, among the worst we've seen for single-band routers in the last two years:
As you can see, Engenius' own ESR9855G Multimedia Enhanced Wireless 300N Gaming Router router had far superior throughput results.
Here are the throughput results in 802.11N-only mode:
The results in 802.11n-only mode are much better. However, most users of single-band routers often have legacy devices that do not connect at the 802.11n standard. Preferable, a single-band router will have its best results in Mixed Mode.
The ESR300H Verdict: Skip It
Engenius' ESR300H is a router at a great price. Yet that low price point comes with other costs: abysmal performance in Mixed Mode and wonky software. A better choice for an affordable, single-band router is Engenius' ESR9855G or our Editors' Choice, the Cisco Linksys E1200 Wireless-N Router.
