Yup, u have read it right.”Small is good,but what about smaller than small”. First we had the desktop and then we felt the need to have a smaller,more portable form of the desktop, the laptop or the notebook. We were pretty happy and decided to use as it fulfilled our necessities. But then as the technology progressed, we got an even smaller notebook, the sub-notebook. Few features of the notebook were stripped of, cost increased and the product was marketed well. So what was the result, success. But then we decided to go further and apple came out with world’s thinnest laptop “The Macbook Air”. Again overdoing things that shouldn’t have been done.

As it is we find it hard to maintain our personal accessories and when they get smaller, yes we find it easy to carry them, but what about the maintenance? The smaller it is the more delicate it becomes. Over the past few months I have seen some good technology at a very competitive price, which has enabled the consumer to get his hands on gadgets with more features(simply loaded), but it has come at a cost. The cost we’ve paid is deteriorating quality of these products and a customer service support which seems imaginary. A few products might be faulty but most of people who’ve bought the latest mobile, laptop or even car have found the lacking quality which used to be present. To cut down prices in this cutthroat market the manufacturers have decided to take the small route and making products with smaller than small component, showing the customer a beam of light at the end of the tunnel,not long before he/she realizes that it is of the coming train.

So what do you see ?

WordPress is better than blogspot

Here is why wordpress blogging service  is better than blogspot’s blogging service

1. A blog on WordPress is more personalized than that on blogspot. A blog on blogspot has a small bar on top of your blog with features such as next blog,create blog,sign in, which makes it less personalized as person on your blog can can click on it AND GO TO THE NEXT BLOG.
2. More number of themes are available in wordpress, which are far better than those on blogspot.
3. A wordpress page is around 8-10KB and a blogspot page is on an average of 15KB. This makes a wordpress page open much faster than a blogspot’s page
4. The number of widgets available on wordpress is far more than those in Blogspot
5. WordPress is Adfree(Can be taken as a drawback also)

But wordpress has a few limitations also

1.  Wordpress is Adfree. In blogspot you can run adsense
2. In Blogspot you can customize the HTML coding to a fairly good extent. WordPress does not even support a tag of a marquee

These features make wordpress better( for me). The blogging service you use purely depends on the purpose of your blogging. If you want to make money, blogspot is surely better, but if you want a personalized blog wordpress is definitely better.

Advantages of 2G GSM

* GSM is mature; this maturity means a more stable network with robust features.
* Less signal deterioration inside buildings.
* Ability to use repeaters.
* Talktime is generally higher in GSM phones due to the pulse nature of transmission.
* The availability of Subscriber Identity Modules allows users to switch networks and handsets at will, aside from a subsidy lock.

Code division multiple access (CDMA) is a channel access method utilized by various radio communication technologies. It should not be confused with cdmaOne (often referred to as simply “CDMA”), which is a mobile phone standard that uses CDMA as its underlying channel access method.

New York: Technology might be just as addictive as alcohol and drugs and could also wreak havoc with personal and work relationships, a leading expert said.
John O’Neill, the director of addictions services at the Menninger Clinic in Houston, Texas refers to it as “technology overload” when he sees addiction-like behavior in his patients using cell phones or emails.
“I think they share some of the same components as people who become addicted to alcohol and drugs in that we start to see that someone cannot really put it down and cannot stop the use of it even when there are some consequences,” he said. “We can become overloaded by technology and suffer consequences in our relationships,” he added.
