Camera shoot !!!

The week gone by I had the opportunity to use this cool camera for recording  the  pre wedding party for  the host ,first I  was nervous to use somebody’s camera and completely unaware of this new gadget . But I had a fair idea since I read about a similar   gadget like this existed in a few magazines ,it was an interesting night and an interesting gadget So here its the camera known as hero by go pro .

 GoPro is a brand of high-definition personal cameras, often used in extreme action video photography. They are known for being lightweight, rugged, wearable or mountable in unusual places such as outside planes, cars, or boats.

Happy Diwali!!!

Diwali -festive season

 

this is Diwali !!! a week before

Diwali !!! its just a week away and it doesn’t really feel like the festive season is here ,you can hardly see any lights, and decoration ,also the firecracker have all gone silent ,in a way its surely is good to see that the pollution level and noise pollution falling ,but some noise should be there to feel its Diwali,also at a recent Diwali party I noticed people clicking more of there photography rather than playing cards like we normally would do with token(coins) from the past few years .Also I guess ,Diwali has not being given that much of importance ,since we have internet,so many apps and so many events all over the year its just become like any-other festival ,And since in India the dollar ,the economy downturn has made people more careful this Diwali,its become such a peaceful festival from the nosiest good for the environment .

Also the importance of Diwali will soon Dissappear at this rate ,I remember reading somewhere about kids asking there parents can we celebrate Diwali on our tablets ,this to me was like a joke when I first read ,but now its a serious thought to think about .

Technology is ruling us ,not we ruling the technology .

Anyways .

Happy Diwali !!!

Bitcoins!!!

the bitcoins

 

The concept was introduced in a 2008 paper by a pseudonymous   Developer   known only as “Satoshi Nakamoto”, who called it a Peer-to-peer  , electronic cash system and There are people who are very excited about the idea behind Bitcoin. As Bitcoins can be transferred through a computer   or Smartphone  without an intermediate financial institution. The processing of Bitcoin transaction   is secured by servers   called bitcoin miners.

These servers communicate over an internet-based network and confirm transactions by adding them to a ledger  which is updated and archived periodically using Peer-to-peer file sharing   technology. In addition to archiving transactions, each new ledger update creates some newly minted bitcoins. The number of new bitcoins created in each update is halved every 4 years until the year 2140 when this number will round down to zero. At that time no more bitcoins will be added into circulation and the total number of bit coins will have reached a maximum of 21 million bitcoins. To accommodate this limit, each bitcoin is subdivided down to eight decimal places; forming 100 million smaller units called satoshis.
The Bitcoin protocol for the bitcoin cryptocurrency is an open source cryptographic protocol that operates on a peer-to-peer network. It uses a chain or “blockchain” of transactions to achieve consensus and to solve the double-spending problem. …

iPhone

iPhone's

 

Its official , after all those rumours going on for the past few months the iPhone has introduced Colourful iPhone under the 5C.Is it a good decision to introduce iPhone with Colours?

Personally speaking , its a smart decision , seeing it as a business because in the end you want sales, profit and that is what apple is loosing with competition from brands like Samsung and HTC which have been giving  tough competition to the brand . 

Now that iPhone has been  introduced  do we see the brand that revolutionised the way a phone should be . Taking inspiration from other  brands  for surviving in the market .
The brand apple too has the 5S a standard version of the phone thats look so classic ,with the colours white,grey and gold that has a rich feel to it ,that would like to be owned by people and this might be a good strategy to having a phone for a particular segment and the same phone with a few differences for another segment the 5C & 5S. 

And also iPhone has become a phone that is owned by every 2nd/3rd person with easy offers on EMI scheme ,it surely has lost its appeal from niche product to a mass product , the phone too must have just lost the WOW! you have an iPhone , to oh ! even  you  have an iPhone .

If apple’s idea is  to rule the phone market ,then its a nice attempt again now they have introduced a phone to cost $99 in the U.S and in India not less than 20,000 so  are we also seeing iPhone being unsure of its brand image or is it looking  to change its image totally .

 

 

 

Is that why its called Asha?

The phone

Ok.Today finally after a month i had gone to buy a phone.That too i zeroed on a Nokia Asha 501 as i needed a phone desperately (this one would be my temporary phone) and since there were a lot of TVC being broadcasted, i have to admit i was influenced to buy this phone .So finally in the evening i bought the phone Nokia Asha 501 and was impressed with Nokia advancing with the micro sim.But ,no there is more…. i searched for whatsaap on the phone Since that was the main app I needed , which to my surprise wasn’t there on the  Nokia app store for Asha 501.

I just felt disappointed,cheated that a phone which has just come into the market , one  would expect to have these apps. Also Foursquare was there in the app store .But no Whatsaap .

Also now  I understood what do they mean when people say you know Nokia is gone they   are only a few mobiles companies which can be relied on .I am sure Nokia isn’t anywhere close to it .
