Buy Moto e now available on Flipkart with launch day offers

2014-05-14T00:59:00.001+05:30

Motorola has launched the Moto E in India and at an event in London they unveiled the Moto G with micro SD card and 4G support. If you may recall the Moto G that is currently selling in India for Rs. 12,499 does not come with micro SD card slot and supports 3G.

Though most of the specifications will be the same the chipset used might be different that will be supporting the 4G LTE networks. The addition of micro SD card slot will allow users to add storage space of up to 32GB.

The new 4G supported Moto G will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon quad core processor. It will run on Android KitKat out of the box with 1GB RAM and 8GB storage with micro SD card support. The screen is 4.5 inches with 1280 x 720p resolution. There is rear auto focus camera of 5MP resolution and front camera of 1.3MP resolution.

Key features – 4G, 3G, Wi-Fi, GPS with GLONASS and Bluetooth. The battery is 2070 mAh. No word about when and if this handset will be made available in India. I doubt if this will be launched in India, but lets see.

How To Stop Start-Up Apps and Background Apps in Android OS

2013-08-04T15:22:00.000+05:30

If you are using Android Phone then even if in a top notch device but still after some time your device gets slower and slower, so may have to remove some apps or some of your friends might suggest you to install apps like Auto killer, Titanium Backup Pro, Task Manager App. But do you really have to install that??? Read this post to find out what really happens in your phone system.

Many applications have their current activities put in to the background when you switch to other app. The activities take some memory of your system, so that when you go back to the application and resume from where you left like in some games as Bike Race or World Cricket Championship. These activities are not able to run CPU-intensive computations in the background, and hence no CPU memory or battery is used for them. If battery life or CPU performance is your problem, then you don’t have to worry about those applications. If the system is running low on performance then android would automatically kills the application and frees some space.

But still there are some apps that run their services in background. If app from a reputed dev. Then there are chances of it being more system friendly else vice versa. But if you are sure that you want to stop then you may try these options-

1. Uninstalling Applications

A recent survey carried out on 100 android users revealed that an avg user installs around 45 apps in his device but uses only 12 of these, so if are one of those users then may try uninstalling apps that you don’t use. Do it from within the system or you can try a third party app for uninstalling. Even system apps can be installing but for that you have to root your device.

2. Manually Killing Apps

It is worth noting that instead of pressing home key, you may try getting out of app directly by pressing the back key, until you gets out of app UI. You can manually shut down the app by going to the running apps in settings menu or you can press home button for 5 seconds which will open Recent applications and swipe the apps off the screen to close them.

3. Freezing Apps

You can also use an applications like TitaniumBackup pro to completely freeze apps so that they can’t run at all. And whenever you want to use them you must UN-freeze those apps.

Hp Deskjet 1050 AIO Printer Review and Refilling Guide

2013-08-01T14:03:00.002+05:30

HP is a well known brand among electronics and computers. It has all new series of printers to offer more competition in market. if you are looking for a printer, less costly, more productive then while doing your research you must have come across this model from HP. In this post I will tell you about its design, features, productivity, refilling and other options to this printer.

Design And Features -HP has a lot of experience in designing of electronic gadgets and that experience seems to work in this model . Although this is an All-In-One printer, yet its size is similar to other printers serving only one purpose. Its dimensions are 249x427x406 mm (Height x Width x depth) and it weighs 3.6 kg. But while using it weight doesn't matter too much. It also have a scanner which can scan documents/pictures having 1200 dpi. The scan size area is 216 x 297 mm. The bit depth color is 24-bit. On the other hand speaking of printing specs its resolution for printing black and white documents is 600 dpi, whereas for color prints it increases to 4800 x 1200 dpi. One cartridge once full with ink can print almost 20 pages. But if you know the so called "Tricks of the Trade" then you don't have to worry, your printing costs would be inevitably small.

This printer has limited connectivity options it can be connected only by a usb port to a windows or apple mac OS pc. While active it consumes 10 watts of power whereas it reduces to 1.2 watts while on standby.

Refilling - After successful consumption of one cartridge ink according to HP you must buy a new ink cartridge from HP which would cost you from 450-600rs. But what is the point if you have to spend 600 rs for 20 prints. Here comes the tricky part HP DeskJet 1050 supports refilling by injection method. Which means that just simply fill ink in a injection and discharge that ink into the cartridge .For much productivity you may use a ink suction tool (From EBay). By using this suction tool you may suck ink from other side of cartridge, which would make sure that you have successfully refilled your ink, Alternatively you can suck the output port of cartridge yourself until small ink doesn’t comes out from that port. But speaking from experience, you don’t have to do that as ink comes out itself out of the output port. For one complete refilling you may fill around 2.5-3.5 ml of ink. Else you may pay 100 rs. to a professional who will do this for you.

But remember refilling voids your cartridge warranty. So do it at your own.

10 Most Popular Open Source Softwares , Best in Class

2013-07-31T11:10:00.000+05:30

Building your own PC is getting easy and more easy everyday. Standardization of all components have made this a much more easier task. After assembling a PC the first step is to install a OS into it, necessary sound editing, internet browsing, image editing, e-book reader tools. So if you are short on money and want to install tools available freely on internet then this guide is for you.

1. Ubuntu:- Ubuntu is a free operating system for Linux and it has the advantage of being virus free as people says. If you can't spend heavy money on windows 8 or any other OS then you can download it, burn it onto a disc and install it on your own PC. Most of the software developers these days build softwares also for linux users which is a plus point that you don't have to run here and there for finding softwares of Ubuntu.

2. Firefox- One of the best in class, firefox have a huge database of addons. It is the most popular web browser currently in the world. Firefox is available under GNU license which means it is free to use for personal use.You can get almost all features in it by using available add ons and greasemonkey scripts.

3. 7-Zip- It is a file archiver and it can also open different archives e.g. .iso, .zip, .rar, .7z . It has a smooth UI, right click menu integration available for windows and linux platforms.

4. Notepad++ :-If a default notepad editor is not inbuilt in your OS then you can download this popular open source toll Notepad++, this a very advanced text editor in which you can edit your html tags too, try it once and I am sure you would become a fan of it.

5. DoPDF:- Windows users can now create from any program/software which have printing capability. Install this small utility and just select it as your default printer. Now whatever you print will be saved as a pdf.

Top 5 Web Browsers of 2013

2013-07-26T20:11:00.001+05:30

In this post I will discuss the top 5 browsers of 2013 based on my personal experience. At one moment or another it feels that no single browser is perfect. Yes, there are all-rounder browsers , but every browser lacks in some area and that’s the reason why there are so many players in the market. Naming some of them Firefox, opera, safari, Chrome, Flock, Epic, I explorer lets discuss about their pros and cons.

1. Firefox :- My personal favorite among all the web browsers reason being having so many add ons, Greasemonkey Scripts, and all customizable options. Firefox is an Open source web browser. It boasts of less ram usage, hardware acceleration, crash protection, high performance in real world, secure access to websites and around 36% of internet users use firefox which is reason that this browser has got developer support.

2. Chrome:-Chrome features an ultra smooth UI, secure access to websites, google support and in built google apps(Hangouts). Chrome is developed by Google Inc. Due to its smoother UI, users from firefox want to shift to it but due do lack of add ons the no. of users actually ported to chrome are less. Later on Google realized this fact and started providing support for add ons and java scripts.

3. Opera:- In its initial days , Opera was only a mobile browser. In those days no browser was popular for mobiles that’s why opera gained much attention. Later Nokia also adopted nokia as default browser for its mobiles. This caused Opera to step in PC browser field. In PC browser field , Opera also followed its mobile standards. These features (like turbo browsing) are also gaining popularity among PC users. In-spite of all these factors ,Opera suffers from lack of add on and java script support.

4. Safari:- This browser is basically a MAC OS browser, but now it is also available for Windows OS too. This browser also features smooth and premium UI of Apple. This browser all the security features and can prove to be a good alternative for Firefox & Chrome.

5. Internet Explorer:- Internet Explorer is the default browser provided by windows but to improve security windows compromises the smoothness, speed, Ram usage etc. A normal user feels sluggishness ini design of IE. Although Microsoft tries to provide great support for this browser but bad reputation once built goes forever.

Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, What's Different and New

Yesterday Google Finally pulled back the curtains of its new version of popular mobile OS Android. Google has released its android version 4.3 along with releasing its Nexus 7 Tab. This update has come up after nine months of Google's previous update and it will also called 'Jelly Bean'.

Google has also made it available for download through the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). That covers those with a Nexus 4,7,10 or Galaxy Nexus (GSM only). Following the footsteps of Windows 8 OS, Google also put some attention the security and along with that added feature of parental control. Different apps act differently depending on user settings, and a new feature also blocks In-app purchase, which prevents accidental purchase of apps by children.

Lets Discuss main features and changes in android 4.3-

1. Bluetooth Pair to Low Power Devices

Google Android 4.3 comes with support for Bluetooth 4.0, which makes it easy to pair with small Bluetooth devices like Fitness Sensors, Notification watch from Sony.

2. Support for OpenGL ES 3.0

Google Android 4.3 includes the necessary API bindings in the NDK and Java for ES 3.0. This release brings the numerous updates we’ve been over before, including multiple render targets, occlusion queries, instances, ETC2 as the standard texture compression, a GLSL ES 3.0, and more. This will make 2D graphic rendering much smooth and which will seen as a performance boost in graphic sensitive applications. Android 4.3 also includes VP8 encoder support for Stagefright.

CDMA vs GSM, Which Technology is Better and Why?

2013-07-25T18:31:00.001+05:30

If you are planning to buy a mobile phone then this question must stuck your mind, Whether I should go for GSM or CDMA. In India due to various factors use of CDMA is decreasing day by day. Its effect was even seen when Honorable supreme court of India ordered to re-auction the 2G license.None of the bidders Bid for CDMA license. Its reason might be high pricing of license as per internal sources. But before deciding which technology is best let’s take a look at both of these. CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) and GSM (Global System for Mobiles) are short hand notations for the two major radio systems used in cell phones.

It is very easy and convenient to change phones if you have GSM networks, because GSM carriers put customer information on a removable SIM card. Take the card out, put it in a different phone, and the new phone now has your number. But on the other hand these days some mobile device have started to come up with a network lock. While in case of CDMA its very inconvenient to change your mobile. To do this, you first have to request your service provider. The service provider processes your requests and this does take a hell lot of time.

CDMA-: CDMA is more dominant standard. It have 25% global market share and less accessible. It have internal memory storage. Its single frequency 850 MHz. Military used this as standard means of communication. When you are in international roaming with CDMA offers no multiband therefore you can’t readily use it in multiple countries. Data transfer in CDMA’s high speed 144 kbps

GSM :- GSM technology is older than CDMA. But it doesn’t mean that GSM is slow or worse than CDMA. It has 75% global market share. It has most accessible and single frequency 900/1800/1900 MHz. You can easily use it when you are in multiple countries. GSM’s high speed wireless data technology is GPRS (gereral packet radio service) is slower than CDMA.

Which Providers are CDMA? Which are GSM?

In India the top networks or I would say all networks using CDMA technology are Reliance, TATA Indicom, Bsnl & MTS. On the other hand the providers using GSM technology are abundant, e.g. Airtel, Vodafone (previously Hutch) , Bsnl, Tata Docomo, Aircel, Uninor, Videocon.

Which technology benefits you?

If considered from a consumer point of view, the consumer desires great voice clarity during call, good signal strength, high internet speeds and less call drops. Both these technologies have the capability to serve this purpose for you. But as like every field there are good players and bad players. So before buying any mobile or sim card you must analyse the above mentioned features in your area in both the technologies and then decide which phone to buy.

World Wide Availability

Most of The Europe and China uses GSM. In India, Vodafone, Bharti Airtel and BSNL are on GSM whereas Reliance and Tata Teleservices are on CDMA networks. GSM is a lot more widespread in Europe and Asia. In the United States, Sprint and Verizon networks are CDMA where as AT&T and T-Mobile are on GSM.

How to Use Free VPN to Bypass Blocked Internet in Schools and Colleges

2013-07-25T18:01:00.001+05:30

A VPN or Virtual Private Network is a utility which encrypts data from our computer and send it to VPN endpoint. Since Data is encrypted, your school or college authorities cannot determine which data is sent via their server, which sites you are browsing. And hence due to these advantages, this method of using internet is getting popularity among geeks.

Tools to use VPN on PC/Laptop

1. Ultrasurf:- It is one of the most trusted piece of software among its users. Ultrasurf is a product of Ultrareach Internet Corporation. Originally created to help internet users in China find security and freedom online, Ultrasurf has now become one of the world's most popular anti-censorship, pro-privacy software, with millions of people using it to bypass internet censorship and protect their online privacy.

To avoid problems with Tor configuration, we strongly recommend you use the Tor Browser Bundle. It is pre-configured to protect your privacy and anonymity on the web as long as you're browsing with the Tor Browser itself. Almost any other web browser configuration is likely to be unsafe to use with Tor.
