Apple Steve Jobs iWaant attitude

Apple Computer and iWaant attitude. Look at how many time Steve Jobs says "iWaant"... History has it before iMac, iPod or iPhone, there was computer, MP3 and mobile phones that were sold in millions. But Steve Jobs did not like anyone of them. So he said, "One of the biggest motivation for working so hard for few years is you want one yourselves.... and it needs to be reinvented." And he and his team created their own products. First iMac, iPod, iPhone and now iPad.

Steve Jobs, "Computers are like a bicycle for our minds."

Apple iPad - The killer has arrived

Apple's iPad will hit the stores and there are lot of speculations whether it would be successful. Steve Jobs hopes that iPad will bridge the gap between a laptop and a smartphone and this book like gadget would prove more successful. In January, I said this gadget is iMac minus iPhone minus iPad as it fits the bill and size.

1. Recipe Book: iPad can be hung in the kitchen so to be used as a recipe book. People can check various recipes and make healthy food for themselves and their family. Jamie Oliver are you listening...
2. Digital Photo Frame: In last two years there are lot of Digital Photo frames in the market which around $ 50 to $100. It now looks like a dumb display product which consumes electricity. Digital Photo frame, iPad is coming.
3. Nintendo DS: They made a mark in the market by being portable and cute. This has been largely successful among teenagers who hang around playing it. Nintendo DS.. your game will be over.
4. E-book Readers: Sony Digital Book - Thinner, smaller and lighter than most magazines, the Reader Touch Edition lets you access up to 350 of your favorite books from anywhere. The intuitive 6" touchscreen display makes navigation a breeze, letting you turn pages with the swipe of a finger. People are going to read your history on iPad.
5. Newspapers: Internet has nearly killed the newspapers. But whether iPad will revive the digital version of the newspapers. In future, when you look around in London Underground, you will find people reading on iPad. This will reinforce Rupert Murdoch's vision for people will pay for online content. Just to let you know TimesOnline will be paid from June onwards and New York Times will also do the same from Jan 2011.

Blackberry - Dont make a hole in your pocket with your browser development

Take the web with you. With the BlackBerry® Internet Service browser, you get full access to the Internet on the go, so you can browse the same sites on your BlackBerry® device that you browse at your desktop PC.

Blackberry why are you spending on browser development, when you have a much better, readymade browser in the market.  Opera Mini

• Tabbed browsing : Browse several Web sites at the same time, while easily jumping from one to another.
• Speed Dial: Get to your favorite Web page with just one click, with a set of visual bookmarks when you open a new tab.
• Faster: Time is precious. Opera Mini compresses pages by up to 90% before being sent to your phone, meaning faster page-load times than in other mobile Web browsers.
• Mobile view: Fit content to your mobile phone. Mobile view intelligently reformats Web pages into a single column eliminating the need for horizontal panning. Changing to Mobile view is accessible though the Settings menu.

Download Opera Mini on your BB device

 Just to let you know I have made Opera Mini as my default browser on my Blackberry Storm.

Electric Fence and lightening affects

An electric fence is a barrier that uses electric shocks to deter animals or people from crossing a boundary. The voltage of the shock may have effects ranging from uncomfortable, to painful or even lethal. Most electric fencing is used today for agricultural fencing and other forms of animal control purposes, though it is frequently used to enhance security of sensitive areas, and there exist places where lethal voltages are used.

An early application of the electric fence was developed in 1936–1937 by New Zealand inventor William "Bill" Gallagher Sr. Built from a car's ignition coil and a magneto set, Gallagher used the device to keep his horse from scratching itself against his car. Gallagher later started a company to improve and market the design.

I want a Chronograph Watch

I want a Chronograph Watch, that was a wishful thinking. Whenever I visited any watch showroom, I used to see the watches around. The first time I noticed a chronograph watch in the wrist of any celebrity was Shahrukh Khan with Tag Heuer. And it looked terrific !!!  From that time onwards, I always had a fancy for a  chronograph watch, till one day someone gifted me an Accurist.

What is a Chronograph Watch ?

A chronograph watch unlike standard timepieces has specific dials which can measure second,minute and hour intervals - ideal for people who require accuracy, whether it be in use by a sportsman or for usage in a working environment.

How to operate a Chronograph Watch ?

Chronograph watch is just like being a owner BMW. But if you use it only for knowing time, then you are  treating it like a Fiat.

I want a Ubuntu Laptop

I have been searching for a laptop with Ubuntu OS and had been enquiring in computer stores like Currys and PC World but some where down the line, I am not getting a positive response on Linux laptops. The stores do not sell any Linux laptops as they are not very popular with the customers.

In contrast to the laptops, linux is adopted on the mobile phones. Android OS is the popular one which forms the OS of HTC mobile phones.

Are there Linux laptops readily available: A Sony Viao laptop with a Windows 7 preload with cost me from £450 onwards and Apple MacBook would start from £700 onwards. But as a end user I have no idea that a Linux based laptop exists in this world with a good support.   

What is cost of OS: Ubuntu is free for download and you can run it using usb flash drive. A full version of Windows 7 Home Premium starts from £80 and Apple leopard from £40. As a end user, I would prefer to buy a laptop which has pre-installed OS. So Ubuntu, even thought it is free is not appealing.  

• Windows®. Life without Walls™. Toshiba recommends Windows 7
• Windows® . Life without Walls™ . Dell recommends Windows 7.
• Windows®. Life without Walls™.HP recommends Windows 7.
• Windows®. Life without Walls™.Sony recommends Windows 7.
• Apple sells only Mac

Does Ubuntu require a God Father to promote : The popularity of linux based OS like Android or Chrome is mainly due to the initiatives of Google. For the users to accept a new technology on their desktops, it would require a credible company to show the way for acceptance. I feel the users should be given a choice what OS they would like to have on the laptop with price associated rather than selling a pre-installed OS.  This would help the users to decide on whether to buy one OS or multiple OS on their laptop.

How to Install Ubuntu

Finally I downloaded Ubuntu OS and is very pleased by its excellent results. And also it was a hazzle free installation. It is just like installing a new browser on your laptop. Now I have both Windows Vista and Ubuntu on my laptop.

Now my laptop takes 2 mins to boot up and 10 seconds to shut down. Moreover all the applications are fast and free. Windows takes around 5 mins to boot up and same amount of time to shut down. If 90% of people in the world use Windows, how much time they are sitting idle waiting for PC to boot up.

Technobuffalo Gadget Review Channel on YouTube

When I want to know about review on iPhone, Nexus One, Android or Apple, then my favourite youtube channel is Jon Rettinger of Technobuffalo.  Jon is a iPhone and  he tends to compare other phones with iPhone. But his reviews, I find it balanced. He now appears to review Android OS Smartphones and seems to like these phones.

Jon looks to be very resourceful to get new gadgets that come in the market and provide a review.

His Channel Profile as on 26-Feb-10

What are biometric passports

A biometric passport, also known as an e-passport or ePassport, is a combined paper and electronic passport (hence the e-, as in e-mail) that uses biometrics to authenticate the identity of travellers. It uses contactless smart card technology, including a microprocessor chip (computer chip) and antenna (for both power to the chip and communication) embedded in the front or back cover, or centre page, of the passport. Document and chip characteristics are documented in the International Civil Aviation Organisation's (ICAO) Doc 9303.

• a ‘digital signature', which shows that the data is genuine and which country has issued the passport
• Basic Access Control, a ‘chip protocol’ that prevents the data being read without the passport holder’s knowledge
• Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), a digital technique that confirms the data on the chip was written by IPS and has not been changed

What happens to dumb old mobile phones on recycle

A smartphone is a mobile phone that offers more advanced computing ability and connectivity than a basic 'feature phone'. While some feature phones are able to run simple applications based on generic platforms such as Java ME or BREW, a smartphone allows the user to install and run much more advanced applications based on a specific platform. Smartphones run complete operating system software providing a platform for application developers. - Source: Wikipedia

What happens to your old dumb mobile phone when you recycle ? Mopay explains

97% of the phones that we receive can be reused and reintroduced back into the global market after data wiping the devices to satisfy demand for mobile phones.

In certain parts of the world like Africa, the mobile phone is fast becoming the number one form of communication because landline access is limited in certain areas and owning a mobile is the most convenient way to communicate and do business.

Any phones that we receive which cannot be reused we recycle them in accordance to the WEEE Directive and break them down for parts which can be reused such as metals including copper, silver and gold. Any plastic casing is melted down and used for mouldings such as road cones!

If you consider upgrade to a smart phone, then consider these websites for good deals

The cheapest PAYG mobile phone starts from as low as £2.95. Don't believe it, the see the link below

Why I don't buy mobile phones direct

Direct Line Insurance promo shows that they have cut their middlemen and price comparison site and passed on the savings to the customer. And the insurance is cheaper. But is it true with the mobile phone network providers ? They have £25, £30, £35 18 to 24 months contracts with a free phone but things have not gone cheaper.

Welcome to the world of Mobile e-tailers and you get your some money back by redemptions.

I have bought phones from two retailers earlier

www.DialaPhone.co.uk
www.e2save.co.uk

and availed good deals from them. They have paid back the redemption amounts promptly when I presented the mobile phone according to the schedule.

When your contract ends, find out which network provides you good value for money and switch. You will retain the same mobile number but it will be a different network provider.

If you can save more than 100 bucks, don't go direct to mobile network provider. Why not use the mobile e-tailer and save money.

Tip: When you save money, you create money for yourself.

iMac minus iPhone minus iPod is iPad

All of us laptops and smart phone. The question is there something between both of them. The answer is iPad.

Steve Jobs happily announces iPad price starts from $ 499.... Whow. He gave us an expensive option.

iMac $1699 - iPhone $900 - iPod $269 = iPad

I thought Apple is a innovative company. Why they want to target something between ? Are they confusing their customers ?

It is on the record - iPhone has dented the sales of ipod. Probably  iPad will dent the sale of iMac and iPhone.

I want a device that has capabilities of all three and also I can carry it around. Earlier I thought iPhone was the answer. But not any more.

This is what appeals the users

Again they are talking technical. But the common users are not interested the technical names, but do I do it to get what I wanted.

• Nokia was first to have a camera on a mobile phone.
• SonyEricsson want to sell it phone as a MP3 player and now a HD camera.
• Blackberry - you can check your emails at home rather than office.
• Samsung can do everything cheaper.
• HTC is an Android phone.

But iPhone is not a phone but an device to make your life easy. You have an apps for an Indian recipe or an apps to find the nearest restaurant or games that would not need a Nintendo Wii. You can make you life easier.

When you see a Nokia N900 commercial, you can see everyone talking and phone that looks from Mars. iPhone commercial is simply perfect. It focuses on what I want.... no geeky terms - that's the reason people like it.

Nokia .... N900 is a brilliant phone. You should be connecting people rather than trying to find a  iPhone killer.

Google's Philosophy: "The perfect search engine," says co-founder Larry Page, "would understand exactly what you mean and give back exactly what you want." When Google began, you would have been pleasantly surprised to enter a search query and immediately find the right answer. Google became successful precisely because we were better and faster at finding the right answer than other search engines at the time.

Internet Explorer - Should I use Chrome or Firefox or Opera

The recent warning by Federal Office for Information (BSI) Security to Germans to avoid use of all versions of Explorer has woken up those people who didn't know there exist other internet browser on this planet.

Although the choices are limited, but there 4 others which are a good fit.

My friends called me up asked me regarding Google's Chrome. Google has been in news for different reasons but it seems Chrome usage has picked up since it is a simple browser which looks like Windows Explorer.

The top five browsers in the market

1. Firefox
2. Opera
3. Chrome
4. Safari
5. Internet Explorer

Surprisingly the most beautiful, innovative and lively browser "Opera" is unknown to most. Is it because it is based in Norway ? I would expect more marketing promotions from Opera for people to know about them. Nintendo Wii has Opera as default browser. You will find Opera Mini on your mobile a very good one.

The question is whether warnings from federal authorities change people's habit or spell. Google will not benefited from exit from China but it would be making money from people who would moving to Chrome platform both on browser as well as their operating system which is scheduled to come next year.

Kill Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 - Google Way

Today I got an email from Google that they would no longer support Internet Explorer 6. The email is very persuasive and usage of words is very good to make the user to switch to other browsers. I find it hard to believe people are going to upgrade from IE6 to IE8 given the bad press from China and Germany. I am highlighting the key words.

Dear Google Apps admin,​

In order to continue to improve our products and deliver more sophisticated features and performance, we are harnessing some of the latest improvements in web browser technology.  This includes faster JavaScript processing and new standards like HTML5.  As a result, over the course of 2010, we will be phasing out support for Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 as well as other older browsers that are not supported by their own manufacturers.

We plan to begin phasing out support of these older browsers on the Google Docs suite and the Google Sites editor on March 1, 2010.  After that point, certain functionality within these applications may have higher latency and may not work correctly in these older browsers. Later in 2010, we will start to phase out support for these browsers for Google Mail and Google Calendar.

Google Apps will continue to support Internet Explorer 7.0 and above, Firefox 3.0 and above, Google Chrome 4.0 and above, and Safari 3.0 and above.

Starting this week, users on these older browsers will see a message in Google Docs and the Google Sites editor explaining this change and asking them to upgrade their browser.  We will also alert you again closer to March 1 to remind you of this change.

In 2009, the Google Apps team delivered more than 100 improvements to enhance your product experience.  We are aiming to beat that in 2010 and continue to deliver the best and most innovative collaboration products for businesses.

Thank you for your continued support!

Sincerely,

The Google Apps team

• How many people know about Opera as a company ?
• Does anyone know it is an European company ?

The internet browser is dominated by American IT companies. Firefox has made inroads in the market mainly due Microsoft IE's lack of development and users were moved by the concept of open source software.  The advantage  of open source, there is a huge pool of developers working for you and promoting the product. Apple's iPhone has become popular because of their big Apps availability.  Now Nokia's Symbian OS has also joined the bandwagon of open source.

The most downloaded in 2009

This is the age of iPhone Apps, open source softwares, MP3 and X Factor and people are more tuned to download. You will be often asked, "Have you downloaded it ?". If you don't know, what it means then people will look at you as if you have come from Mars.

The concept of high sales or achievement is reflected by the term "Most Downloaded".  X factor popularity is measured on the most downloaded single.

Lets check out the most downloaded in  ....
