Facebook or just a waste of time

I have been using Facebook from the time it was available. One habit a also cached was going back to Facebook after every hour to see what's new, in-trusting. Well one morning I had an idea lets see what happens if I don`t use facebook any more.

So I deactivated my Facebook account and realised that it was not that bad, actually it is way better then I thought. It feels like suddenly I have more time, actually its more like less fanaticism of Facebook.

If U feel anything like please comment or like.

Battery Storage Gone Mad.

In past many years scientists have been in per-suite of finding ways of improving the ability of a battery to charge more in less time or all in all is more powerful then the normal batteries.

Well guess what the dream is not that far. Last year Hitachi made an announcement that they had made an i-on  battery which is 50% more powerful then the normal car battery which will be available at the end of 2012.

But an amazing effort was made by a team of Washington State University that they are working on "Xenon and fluoride" battery which can store electricity more then 10 to 1000 times a normal battery. And it is expected that it will be available in coming years.

An other research is on the fuel of the battery and a team of Cambridge came up with a fuel which is 10 times more powerful then a normal distilled water. The working will be that you go to the Pump station and your car battery will be drained and new fuel will be put in and instantly your battery is fully charged.

Conclusion:
                  Batteries may not be a trusted partner in crime at the moment but in 5 to 10 years time motor industry and many other industries using multiple fuels will switch to electrical mode and preferred storage will be batteries. Homes will no longer be hooked up with the national electricity grids rather will have silicon solar panels on roofs and powerful battery storage units in house. which will be able to run a single house for more then a week. That`s the future and we should all contribute to it.

Single Pc but several users


I was in the market yesterday and what i saw was something i wanted for a long time that is multiusers/multiseat on a single PC. Which means that's a single PC can handle more then one monitor, mouse and keyboard. from 1 to 100 users a PC and that`s Fantastic!. There are 2 devices required one is a "Multiseat Server" which as same as PC with more power and the second component is "Thin Client Hub" for mouse keyboard and audio jacks. A software has to be installed which comes with the hardware.

Hp multiseat server for 100 users



The solution itself is remarkable and not cost effective. There are still some glitches  to be solved as gaming capabilities are not supported, in case of data corruption there in no second storage, non of the user has there own usb slot for usb devices like flash drive and mostly no user power/control for administrative purpose or remote administrative control.

Conclusion:
All in all its a good system and concept but it has a lot to cover.Spending money on a multiseat is non economical for at least now.

Something you should know before buying a processor.


Technology has been revolutionizing day by day and whenever we go the market to buy something new or upgrade PCz it becomes very confusing of what to choose from the vast range of the same product. One of the products is Processor. I have been upgrading my pc like after every 2 years and every time it becomes a hassle. So what we should know about processors is that what processor can do and what is inside them.
Old processors where just plain processors. Data shoved in, processed and comes out well the new processors do the same with much more power. The actual catch is in the cores of the processor. Now a day’s processors are 2, 3, 5, 7 cores and cores are kind of like 2, 3, 5, 7 units which make up a processor, 2 core has 2 units and likewise. Most of the people think that more cores mean double the speed like 2.4 GHz duel core means 4.8 GHz speed. Well that’s the catch; whatever is written on the box like 2.4 GHz is actually 2.4 GHz. The only thing cores do is that divides the data and send it to the cores or units to process and bcs of more cores the same 2.4 GHz can process thing with more speed but it cannot process anything more than its specified speed.
So please do not be mistaken by cores it’s just processing things faster not doubling the quantity.

What`s the deal with nokia?


Yes that’s right what’s the deal with Nokia? Nokia corp. is the world`s biggest cell phone manufacturer and has the largest customer base. Couple of years back you wanted something you bought Nokia. When it came’s to something new Nokia has always been the ball thrower in the market, i.e. first-one to introduce any new thing on the cell phone and that’s from where the game starts. Nokia always just introduced stuff, giving a range of things you and I can buy in different financial range but what they never provided was what people expected, like apple siri, android fast speed. And somewhere in all that companies like apple, dell, acre and many more joined hands and an idea of a Magic Phone came to life and OS like android hit the market. If you ask me I think it hit Nokia more than the market.Nokia lost 6 euro per share in just one year. Many of Nokia defenders say that Nokia is working hard on that, well let’s see, Nokia fired Symbian guys and with in just 1 week Symbian guys comes up with Symbian Belle and Anna,  Updates where coming like crazy. Nokia in desperation joined hands with Microsoft on Mango, even knowing that widows 7 phone was a sinking ship already and made nothing from it they still went for it even though they knew that it is nowhere near other phones like Samsung galaxy, apple 4gs. Whatever is going on either that the developers are playing with Nokia or Nokia is Loosing on purpose Nokia will no longer be the biggest in the market anymore and many thinks that even its survival is dough full. Yes it can take years to take Nokia off the market, but, if Nokia do not make changes in its corporate and customer satisfaction strategy then probably it has not more then 3 years left.

Its just a Headphone

When it comes to music there is nothing better than listening to music with a power sound and music comes more alive when a headphone comes in. Headphone with multi speakers, hifi incorporation, and true bass is a dream comes true for any music lover. But the personality of a headphone is more broad them one can think models like Audio-Technica ATH-M50, German Maestro GMP 435 S, HiFiMan HE-5LE are the best examples of this. Have you ever opened a headphone speaker?  what you will see is a speaker with copper wires in it running on some round thing and when you play music it moves up and down, guess what that’s a baby thing because the technology has gone a lot far then that, models like HiFiMan HE-5LE has a two magnet system which produces a powerful bass like no other and comparing it to even goods one is a racist view point. When anyone want to rock his home upside down people just go for the powerful amplifiers, loudest and biggest high performance speakers, well the same comes true for the headphones. Bigger the better because you know that the manufacturer has put all the juices in it to work perfectly none of the parts are just squeezed in rather fitted nicely. But that’s not all for headphones now a days you can even buy amplifiers for your headphones. As a headphone freak ya freak I am always on the go for finding some new and better headphone as technology always amazes me, http://www.hifiheadphones.co.uk/is one of the top website to fulfill the desire and passion.
 

Notebook vs Netbook


When it comes to small hardware which can provide so and go long hours you probably gona be thinking about lots of things like size, hours it can run, hadrdrive space etc. This video is the insight to all these questions.
