Alternative to Microsoft Exchange - postpath

2008-02-17T18:06:00.002+05:30

For most businesses today, e-mail is the mission-critical communications tool that allows their people to produce the best results. This greater reliance on e-mail has increased the number of messages sent and received, the variety of work getting done, and even the speed of business itself.

Portable Player takes on CD player

2007-11-03T20:36:00.000+05:30

The CD was introduced with great fanfare in 1982 and soon supplanted the audio cassette due to high quality digital sound.You could bring your portable cd player anywhere to listen to high quality audio music. The next revolution started with the acceptance of mp3 music. MP3 stands for Moving Pictures Expert Group 1 Audio Layer 3. This mp3 technology allows for the compression of normal CD audio file in WAV format and reduces the size of the file by a factor of 10 to 1. That means you can store thousands of songs in a small portable player while previously a CD player could only hold a CD at a time.

CD player have advantages, in that CD players are cheaper than mp3 players. There is no need to buy storage media which is expensive. Songs in mp3 format have different sound volume levels while in a CD you get consistent sound volume. Why bother with the hassle of encoding, transferring and managing files which is troublesome, time consuming and more demanding when you can just simply pop in anew CD and get instant gratification. Also, if you travel to aless developed country , a CD player proves to be more useful asaccess to broadband is hard to find for downloading of your internet music. In addition, CD can last a life time and are virtually indestructible compared to a mp3 hard drive or flash memory players which have a limited life span and could spoil.

I personally switched from cd player to my 80 gig ipod because otherwise i would have too many cd's to carry around easily. Not that i have a very large cd collection but i want max quality so i wont put them on mp3 cd's even then i would have over 50 mp3 cd's.

But to compete now CD player's are becoming more compact , for household uses best Cd players are available with WIFI options to speakers..these make them compete with mp3 players.

wize.com has different CD players to choose from...

HDTV hot Gadget these Holiday Season

2007-11-03T19:11:00.000+05:30

If you’ve had a big-screen flat-panel HDTV in your sights for a while, it looks like this fall will be a great time to pull the trigger.

Prices this holiday season are expected to hit an all-time low, about 40 percent cheaper in general than a year ago and as much as 65 percent lower on certain kinds of TVs. There’s growing speculation that the season will start off strong on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, with eye-opening deals, particularly on plasma TVs.

Analysts say it’s unlikely TV prices will drop much lower in 2008, so there’s little point in waiting for better bargains next year. True, predictions for less-severe price drops in 2007 haven’t panned out, but this time they could be on the money. According to DisplaySearch presient Ross Young, much of the price cutting we’ve seen this year resulted from a perfect storm of events late in 2006, “where we had too much panel supply, too many brands and too many retailers.”

secondact.com offers consumers study on HDTV and others related products and also gives best deals to buy them.

Chennai public transport towards public comfort

2007-09-18T22:57:00.000+05:30

The Metropolitan Transport Corporation (MTC) is launching is new Volvo air conditioned buses in Chennai. when i was reading newspaper i saw this launch news, but i didn't thought much on how the bus will look like..because there was no pictures....

When i was driving towards my office i saw a 19G bus.which was similar to bus i looked at Bangalore, good to see bus of this kind in Chennai. i don't no whether this buses are available locally for public transports in Mumbai,Delhi,Kolkatta etc. But i saw this buses in Bangalore.

Bangalore has got 4 of this buses, but now in chennai 10 buses are running in routes 21G, A18, 70, and 19 G from the information that i came across. i saw two buses on road 21G and 19 G.

Before When friends were comparing Chennai and Bangalore they somehow compare the availability of Volvo bus in Bangalore, but now Chennai has more equipped Volvo buses.It has got cameras,LCD's for drivers to control doors of who is getting in and going out and also it is disabled friendly..AC is required in Chennai, the humidity is high in Chennai and people traveling long distance get tired of high temperature..i dont no about the cost of the travel, i think it will be nominal and affordable..and there will be more buses in coming months..

Jhoom Barabar Jhoom - A Review

2007-06-23T22:07:00.000+05:30

Jhoom BarabarJhoom an Yash Production directed by Shaad Ali...not good as expected...i thought its a big starrer movie but no one is good for the story...the movie is too colourful and there are bigger sets...

I am not going to tell the story here...I am just going to tell you people that..Amitabh is just for the song Jhoom Bharabar Jhoom and the story is good when we come to know that .. abhishek and preity in movie are lying to each other to get time passed in railway station waiting for their friends and relatives...and they both fell in love...what a concept yaar...whoaa..

if you are watching movie for time pass then also its not watchable..I think it will be a hit because it is big banner production and because of all biggest actress and actors involved not because of the story...any just a time pass...
