Like Open source OS like Linux are distributed free to all, when can we have some very good Anti-virus software free for all computers owners ? Virus and Anti-Virus have created a business in themselves. Virus and Trojan makers make viruses and other destructive things for us while users daily update their Anti-virus database or buy new Anti-Virus software for a good price. Why doesn’t government or some other body distribute Anti-Virus software free to all so that productivity of people isn’t wasted on concerning about viruses and malwares instead create a business out of this. We spend quite a amount of million every year on computer security and specially on a good Anti-Virus software. Anti-Virus software in my view should be made free for all so we can sleep better and not run after formatting our notebooks or finding viruses and infected files on our laptop. (You think i am insane now ?)
Rupee has shown no signs of improvement and dollar value in india is nearly Rs. 50 per unit, the quite unexpected thing. Several weeks back, people who wished dollar value should increase in india upto Rs. 45 were praying for it. And now, dollar isn;t slipping even below Rs. 47 at any cost. Its all time between Rs. 48-49 and may be soon in a day or two it would cross Rs. 50 mark making headlines in newspaper here. Major problem in inflation which is at 11.5% in india.
World is facing big recession and this is no surprise for me. After every big baseless boom, there is a downturn. Same now. Property prices and other things of materialistic world were shooting up high like anything. That gave an hint about upcoming global recession. experts already warned about 4-5 months back when US was hit by Sub-prime housing and credit crisis which has led to create history records in business in US with MOST of companies, even the big names laying off thousands of workers, share’s dipping and market valuation of companies falling like anything. Laxmi Mittal has lost almost half of his wealth due to fall in shares. Yesterday ‘Zivity’ also announced that it will reduce it staff from 22 to 14 workers. Several bigger brands have curt operations, changed CEO’s and cut several part work force. Whole world is experiencing major layoff.
The no. of jobless has created history in US and several countries are trying to seal from US crisis effect, especially other world banks.
Rupee is showing no signs of recovery. Today dollar value:
1 US $ = Rs. 48.5
Past 4 months, inflow of money in my house has increased by Rs. 30,000 due to rise in dollar value here in India. Even CAD $ is at Rs. 43 per unit.
HP just rolled out new PC model in its Pavilion series, HP Pavilion S3401F with cheap price and mind blowing specs.
Configuration – 2.6 Ghz Dual core Athlon 64 x2 5000+ as processor. 2 GB DDR2 RAM (upgradable to 4 GB). 7200 RPM 360 GB SATA HDD ! That is pretty good Hard disk storage considering the price of this model, that too with 7200 rpm instead of 5400 RPM. Also has 16X DVD Writer/Player. Graphics card is Nvidia GeForce 6150SE nForce 430. 56 KBPS internal Modem. Plus you have PCI Express x16 card slot for video card upgradation. Supports Wi-Fi !
15-in-1 4 slot Memory card reader ! 6 USB 2.0 ports (4 at backside and 2 in front. That is now what you call ‘Applying brains’).
Asus Motherboard
OS – Windows Vista with media centre (32-bit). SP1 (Service Pack 1).
HP offers 1 year Warranty on this. If you are looking for cheap and solid PC for your home needs (Can i say office also?), then HP Pavilion S3401F is all you need. 360 GB HDD and Wireless LAN 802.11 b/g is something you wont find easily in desktops. Plus they have Dual core 2.6 GHz Athlon instead of Intel processor which we generally find in cheap PC’s. So one thing is that you can even play games like ‘GTA San Andreas’ or ‘NFS Most wanted’ smoothly. The base processor Athlon here is quite solid one so you wont complain about slow processor and less RAM. You may see a antenna also with PC for wireless LAN.
This model can sell like hot cakes in asian countries, especially in India due to low cost and solid configuration.
Price – $350
I still remember the times when cell phones used to be 10 inches long with only facility was to able to call someone at hefty rates. But time now has changed. All have sleek and trendy looking cheap cell phones withe extraordinary features. Its the age of iPhone and Blackberry. Blackberry is one of the best phones i have seen for business use. Several people in India still prefer Blackberry over iPhone due to its feature. Blackberry Storm is yet to come in November and is going to hit hard to apple iPhone in competition. It has some great features and even the look is quite good and attractive. It has all the features like GPRS, e-mail, chat, MS office, etc and a lot more. Even Blackberry Curve has great features with 4 different models available.
Today dollar value in India has touched new height. Today if you convert 1 US dollar in INR, you would get INR 48 per unit. Several weeks back when dollar was hovering near Rs. 42, i did say that it would touch Rs. 45 mark. But wait, the dollar nowadays is always above Rs. 46 per unit ! US sub-urban crisis and economy is yet to detiorate much and also i expect dollar to reach Rs. 50 per unit. If it reaches, this will create a history in India. Also Asian countries are facing inflation problem.
The BlackBerry Storm is BlackBerry’s newest phone its expected to come out the first week in November. Its pretty much an Iphone other then it only has 1 gig of memory space to store your music, videos, and pictures. I think 1 gig is about 1 short video and maybe 50 to 80 songs but that’s with no pictures. I guess you could buy a memory card but that’s just putting more money in to a rip off phone Why not just buy the real thing the apple Iphone.
Oh yeah the big deal about the BlackBerry Storm it’s the touch screen the 3.25 in, 480 x 360 px is not as big as the Iphone screen. The Iphone screen is 3.5 in, 320 x 480 px. The one thing BlackBerry did have going for them they did not do on this phone the keyboard. They went with Apple’s Idea they made it a touch screen keyboard but they mest it up. They put two letters on each key so when you’re typing you will have to touch each letter two times. If you do want a BlackBerry with a keyboard you can always go back to the Curve
The Iphone comes with headphones and hands free the Storm is capable (Must buy separately).
If your willing to spent the $199 and sign the 2 yr contract for the BlackBerry Storm. Then why not just get the real thing get the Iphone its the same price and you get far more then you would with the Storm.
At least the Iphone comes in 2 colors
The BlackBerry Curve has four models the 8300, 8319, 8320, and the 8330. As for as I can tell they all look the same they just can do different things like the BlackBerry Curve 8300 does not have Built-in GPS but the BlackBerry Curve 8310 does but it does not have Wi-Fi the BlackBerry Curve 8310 has Wi-Fi but does not have GPS. If you want GPS, Wi-Fi, Video Recording and Operates on CDMA 1X Networks you have to get the BlackBerry Curve 8330. Why cant they just be like Apple and make one phone. Do they really need four models. I think BlackBerry is starting to be come a thing of the past. W3hile the Iphone is starting to pick up market share.

Tesla motors will soon open its new showrooms in New york, Chicago and several other US cities. Tesla motors has certainly created car history by producing stylish yet fast 5 seater electric cars which can run over 100 miles per hour. It currently has its showroom in Los Angeles and is suppose in California also. Several big people of industry like sergey and Larry have invested in this project. Of course its current price is too high, as high by $100000 and also its next model will be around $60,000 but it will soon roll out $30,000 models, probably by next year. Tesla motors can be rightly called the best evergreen start up ever because its on a verge of replacing petrol run cars which pollute the world upto much extent. I dont know what oil prices would be after a decade 
(Did you say $50 per barrel ?)
