Facebook adds trending topics

| Thursday, January 16, 2014 | | | Be first to comment!

Another great functionality from Twitter is now available on Facebook. Facebook, recently rolled out trending topics that are displayed alongside of your Facebook newsfeed. The stories shared publicly are visible on the Trending.


But the fact that all the people don't share things publicly retards the trending. As the trending only contains public posts. For, now it is quite clear that maximum trending topics are from news pages or other such pages. The country of the user is also taken into consideration.

These trending feeds are customized by user interest. It is also possible that Facebook will start to place promoted post in the Trending section.

This will make Facebook a better stand for news digests. And will surely increase the engagement rate dramatically. The last Facebook hashtag, release is still not used by the majority of Facebook users.

Top 5 Entry-Level Laptops With Windows 8 OS

| Friday, December 20, 2013 | | Be first to comment!

It is a completely wise decision you've taken to pay those extra bucks for a laptop loaded with genuine operating system instead of using pirated copies. Undoubtedly, there are a lot of advantages of a genuine version of operating system which we will discuss some other day. For now, let's go check out 5 most popular Windows 8 laptops available in India. 


HP Pavilion TouchSmart 14-B173TU Sleekbook

As the name suggests, HP Pavilion TouchSmart 14 sports a 14 inch touch screen that comes with 64-bit Windows 8 operating system. This laptop has a glossy body made up of plastic material yet it feels comfortable to use. It is powered by a 1.3GHz Intel Core i3 processor; 500 GB storage and 4 GB RAM which could be further expanded up to 8 GB using the additional RAM slot available on board. The 14" LED backlight display has a screen resolution of 1366x768 pixels. The laptop also has a HD camera located above the screen which could be used for video calling and snapping selfies using the laptop. It also has an extra sensitive touchpad which eliminates the need to carry an extra mouse on your backpack.
This touchscreen based laptop from HP weighs approximately 2 kg and has a 4 cell battery which should be good enough to keep the laptop powered for about 4 hours with wireless connectivity turned on. In terms of connectivity options, the laptop supports Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth v4.0 and connectivity ports which includes 3 x USB ports, Ethernet port, VGA, HDMI and a Mic-in port on the left of the laptop. HP Pavilion TouchSmart 14-B173TU is fairly priced at approximately Rs. 35,500 in India. 

Sony VAIO Fit 14E F14212SN/W

If you are looking for something from a brand endorsed by Kareena Kapoor, then you can check out the Sony VAIO Fit 14E series laptop. The Sony VAIO Fit 14E F14212SN/W is again, a 14" touch screen based laptop that comes with Windows 8 operating system pre-installed. The screen resolution of this laptop is 1366x768 pixels. Though this laptop from Sony has a better and newer Core i3 (3rd generation) processor when compared to the HP Pavilion laptop, it has just 2 GB of RAM in contrary to 4 GB RAM in the HP TouchSmart laptop mentioned earlier. But of course, if needed at a future point of time, the RAM here could be upgraded up to 8 GB using the free RAM slot available on board. The laptop has 500GB SATA hard disk for data storage and comes with common connectivity features such as Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth v4.0 and connectivity ports including 4 x USB ports, microphone-in, Ethernet, HDMI and a memory card reader. 


The laptop weighs 2.2 kg and priced at about Rs. 36,690 which includes 1 year on-site warranty. 

Dell Vostro 2420

Though, unlike other 2 laptops mentioned earlier, this laptop by Dell doesn't have a touch screen, but if you're a Dell loyalist and looking for something very sturdy then this laptop would prove to be an ideal partner for you. As many of you might know, Dell is known for its study build quality and aesthetic designs. This laptop comes with a 14" HD WLED screen with screen resolution of 1366x768 pixels. An added advantage here is the anti-glare coating on its screen that helps to eliminate unwanted glare and reflections from the screen. 
The Dell Vostro 2420 laptop is powered with a 2.4 GHz Core i3 3rd generation processor and 4 GB of RAM. For data storage, the laptop has a 500 GB SATA hard disk and comes with Windows 8 operating system pre-installed. This laptop supports all the common connectivity options including Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth and has other connectivity ports namely USB, Ethernet, Mic-in, VGA and HDMI. The Dell Vostro 2420 is priced at Rs. 33,000 approximately and just like any other Dell laptops, comes with 1 year on-site warranty. 

Samsung NP535U4C-S02IN

If the configuration and the hardware matters to you more than the looks and design of a laptop, then I bet this laptop from Samsung would be quite tempting to you that has a power house under the hood. It is powered with a 1.6 GHz APU quad-core A8 processor and whopping 6GB of RAM and 1TB of hard disk drive for data storage. The screen used in this device is 14” diagonally and just like other laptops listed on this post, it comes with Windows 8 operating system pre-installed and even has a dedicated graphics card with 1GB of VRAM. 


It has all the common connectivity options including Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth v4.0 and connectivity ports including 3 USB port, Mic-in, RJ45 LAN port, HDMI, VGA and Multi-card slot. The laptop has a 8 cell battery and weighs about 1.81 KG. It is currently priced at about Rs. 39,000 in India which includes 1 year on-site warranty. 

Acer V5-431P The Acer

V5-431P is one of the best laptop for day-to-day usage at home and colleges, and comes with an inexpensive price tag. The laptop has a 14" touch screen and is powered by a 1.5GHz Intel Pentium Celeron dual-core processor and 2GB RAM which could be further expanded up to 8GB using the free RAM slot available on board. It has 500GB of hard disk drive for data storage and comes with Windows 8 OS preloaded. 


Though it is priced way below other laptops mentioned in this post, it comes with a complete package of features and hardware required for day-to-day usage. The laptop has a built-in DVD writer and has all the connectivity options including Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth v4.0, connectivity ports namely USB, HDMI, VGA and Ethernet. Despite being inexpensive, the laptop also has great build and design but you'll have to manage with the low screen quality as it has poor viewing angles and brightness levels.

Facebook rolled out a new feature that allows Facebook brand page owners or admins to create a watch-list of other Facebook pages.

compare your page with others
Add pages to Watch
This feature will allow users to add the page under the same company or the pages of the competitor. Track will be provided so that a user can have a glimpse of the total number of likes other pages have collected and the recent changes in the number of likes.

For example, if other page that you are monitoring has lost some likes it will show red colored arrow pointing down, with the number of likes or fans that page lost recently. In case of new likes or gains, you will see a green arrow pointing upward.

The pages with no loss and no gain will show 0, grey colored. Your own page will be highlighted with light blue background color.

Pages under watch

The watch-list can contain as many pages as you want. So that you can keep a track to maximum possible pages. But your own page will automatically get added to the list and the watchlist section is currently very small. Therfore, you, must keep the list small so that you can have your top competitors on the top. The list will get arranged alphabetically.

Google Adsense has a new interface for Overview page

| Wednesday, December 04, 2013 | | Be first to comment!

The online advertising giant, Google Adsense, is still working on putting the Google Plus effect every where. The notification, the hangout in email, etc.

The user interface of Overview Google Adsense now highlights, the newly added parameters like, Scorecard that displays stats for Revenue Optimization, Site health and Google+.

This change is only visible for the first overview page only and is in a trial state, you can switch to this an switch back very easily.



There could be more coming. The only problem with the new interface is that, it don't look well partitioned, like the previous one. Currently, only the overview page is changed, the rest of the user interface is left untouched.

How to create your own company apparel online?

| Sunday, November 24, 2013 | | Be first to comment!

Under a lot of circumstances, many companies go for selling some of the apparel like Shirts, Hoodies, tanktops, etc. These apparels can be used for, promotional purposes  as promo items, promo products, promo gifts or just for giving a sense of good people working with great organization.

Some not for profit sites are also using it to raise money for different social works. 

But not every company can afford to get it done on a large scale, when distribution area is greater than the companies reach.

create you custom apparel for company
SpreadShirt
Spreadshirt is an online platform that deals with designing, buying and selling of custom apparels. The company works on a number of locations covering a large part of America and Europe.

With spreadshirt you can create your own shop, like an e-commerce store. You can then redirect your fans from your website to your online store at spreadshirt, from where the customers can make purchase.

The shop owner can create a number of designs and make them available at their store. The online store can be customized. Spreadshirt don't designs the design for your shirts. That must be done by the user. They only deal with making the product with that design and then sell and ship it to the desired location.

Online Store

When a store is created, it is accessible via a subdomain like xyz.spreadshirt.com, but with spreadshirt a user can point it to his/her custom domain name like www.example.com.

For developers they have their own spreadshirt API.

Technology Travel tips For Business Travelers

| Tuesday, November 12, 2013 | | Be first to comment!

Business travel can best be described as “unpredictable”. This is because at times you can head out on a business trip and then encounter lots of problems whereas sometimes you might be very lucky and business trip might be free of common travel inconveniences. Many at times, business travelers are usually subject to countless problems [inconveniences] e.g. loss of electronic work equipments, power/battery related issues as well as internet connectivity failure etc. Thanks to technology there is some good news especially for frequent travelers, this is the fact that: amidst all of this you are still guaranteed a chance to still enjoy your business travel without necessarily having to worry about experiencing any inconveniences within your trip. 

A. Top business travel apps you need to take advantage of 

One way of making sure that your business trip is trouble free is by taking advantage of business travel apps. Examples of such include: 

The seat guru

This is a free business travel application [available for the iPhone and android] that provides detailed flight information and goes ahead to help you zero in on the best seats available on your next flight. Using this app serves as a guarantee for easy and unlimited access to key electrical points and other on-board business luxuries.

Wi-Fi Finder

This app is designed to help you track Wi-Fi hotspots and establish internet connection and stay connected especially when in a foreign city.

Expensify

This app is designed to help you keep track of all of your expenses from a single point. All it requires is that you sync it to your credit cards.

Best Parking

This app functions like a search engine. It carries out a search of all the cheapest available packing spaces pointing you to the most convenient. 

B. Technology travel tips for business travelers 

Make advance arrangements for voice and internet access 

When heading out on a business trip, internet connection can either be great or terrible. Connectivity in most cases will depend on where you are headed to. This being the case, to avoid any inconveniences e.g. having to pay $30 for internet in your hotel, make advance arrangements for internet connectivity. The best thing to do is to take find out more about the local carriers of your destination of choice and then advantage of international data plans for your mobile device. 

Always carry a working USB cable for emergency charging 

At the moment almost all mobile technological devices including those meant for business purposes have a USB port which doubles up as a charging point. Take advantage of the USB port of your mobile business technological devices for charging instead of carrying along with you a spaghetti of charging cables.

Always make sure you carry with you fully charged Extra Batteries

Extra batteries are very important and they usually come in handy when the departure times have been changed and you remain stuck in the airport stranded with no access to any charging points yet your deadline say for submitting some project details or other work related files is drawing near. Extra batteries also come in handy with cell phones sine they serve as a guarantee to maintain communication updating your work colleagues of the progress you are making on your trip.

Save important business files online

Take advantage of the numerous web based services to store and retrieve important business related documents, files, pictures or even videos etc. 

Use rugged electronics for your travel 

As a frequent business traveler, shop mostly for rugged electronics which are designed to endure great hits for insane when dropped mistakenly or come in contact with water all of which are very common with business travelers while known to work while travelling. 

Back up important files in multiple locations 

This is an alternative to saving files online. It also serves as a guarantee to protect your digital life since even after your hard disk crashes you will have an easy time retrieving important documents.

Always carry with you appropriate electrical plug adapters 

Make sure you carry the right electrical adapter for your mobile technological device when heading out for a business trip. 

Bottom line - Take time to prepare/plan your business trip appropriately. This way you will not have to worry about having to deal with countless inconveniences while away on business.

  • Sports Super Cars
  • Vintage Cars
  • Hatchback
  • Sedans
  • SUVs
  • Pick-Ups and Vans
  • Public Service Watercraft & Aircraft
Some people criticised GTA 4 for its lack of easter eggs, but the company behind the GTA games, Rockstar, seem to have listened this time, and GTA V is no doubt the most egg-stuffed game ever released with. Not only this, you will also see there one of GTA 5’s unique vehicles, a rusted tractor. Most of the people don't even know where it is in the game. So, here is the secret. You’ll find that tractor near a farm in Cape Catfish, in the north east part of the map.
But,this tractor is little bit boring because it is rusted to hell and doesn’t have any tires. Besides, it’s also very slow.

Secret of UV map

The map that comes up with special edition of GTA 5 includes messages that can be revealed by shining a UV light over it.

Secret of Alien spaceship

You will find a hidden alien spaceship underwater in the north part of the game world.

Lenora Johnson's Ghost

Lenora Johnson is murdered in the GTA 5. By picking up fifty scraps of paper across the city, you can solve her murder mission, but you can also find her ghost. Her ghost appears on the cliffs between 23:00 and 00:00, on the top of a mountain Gordan in the top-right side of the map.

Secret of Bigfoot

One of the earliest rumour about the GTA 5 was bigfoot. But it’s real now, it can be seen during a mission called Predator. To see this bigfoot, start thermal imaging and slowly look across the forest.
You’ll be able to see the heat signature of Bigfoot. However, it’ll be disappeared when you look directly at him.

UFO & Alien

You will find a lonely, frozen alien at the start of the game. Apart from this, there's also a crashed UFO rests at the bottom of the sea at the northern edge of the map. Take a submarine if you want to find alien's wet buddies.

Zombie in the Game

Grand Theft Auto V is not a zombie game. But, there is a zombie walker in there. When you go through one of Los Santos’s sidewalks, you’ll find a zombie there. He has a voice-acted story to tell you too. Go and check out this zombie if you haven't seen him yet.

Shark - The best addition in the game
