Bits of the Smart in your Phone



Read somewhere, ''Women are crazy, Men are stupid.'' 

 Now that the phones are smart, we can be more stupid, crazy and fun with the smartphones. Today’s smartphones are literally magical machines. They can work as gaming consoles, business tools, and musical instruments; all at the same time. Doesn’t that little thing feel great in hand!

Do you know your smartphone as well as you think you do? Let’s take the smart ride and know some bits of technology just like #Technocrats.

ANDROID


We all have heard of it. It’s the most popular smartphone operating system. It has been developed by Google. Interestingly, this OS was initially planned for digital cameras. Its beauty lies in the fact that anyone can freely develop Android. It’s the most customizable OS with its open ecosystem. Even its logo is a free source, so you can use it the way you would like to.

4G


Well, the mention of the word ‘4G’ reminds me of that girl used in advertisements by a leading company. Let’s make it simple. ‘G’ stands for a generation of mobile technology like 1G (analog), 2G (digital), 3G and now 4G.

3G technology gives a speed upwards of 400 kbps to 7.2 Mbps or even faster. 4G is blazingly fast with even higher speeds. If you love watching video streams of high quality over the net, 4G will make a huge difference. Though keep a watch at your data usage. 4G will be blazingly fast in sucking up that as well. So be cautious, don’t get fooled!

If you are using a 3G phone and are irritated with the slow connectivity, go for 4G. 4G is the future and its coverage is going to get better in times ahead. If you already have a 4G LTE phone and you have no 4G coverage in your area, then disable the 4G LTE and it will save a lot of battery drain.

OCTACORE PROCESSORS


The Processor is 'heart' of a smartphone. This is where all the action is. Processors are marketed in terms of 2 factors – Clock Speed and number of cores. Clock speed of a processor tells us how fast a processor can execute tasks. The bigger, the better. Clock speed was used to judge the computer performance in 90s. Now core count is indicative of prowess of a smartphone.

Now everyone is moving to Octacore processors. Theoretically, an Octacore processor has double the number of cores as compared to quad-core. True. But there is a catch here. The phone will seem to be amazingly fast perhaps, but more cores do not necessarily mean a faster processor.

A smartphone should also have a robust GPU with a powerful processor.  Always remember, the best smartphones are the ones who have amazingly optimized and effective software code to assist the hardware.
  

SENSORS



Your mobile phone knows how you are holding it, what you are saying to it, where it exactly is and how fast you are moving. There are so many sensors inside your phone, some of which might not even make sense to you. 

These sensors are built-in to measure motion, orientation and environmental conditions. Sensors are precisely what makes your smartphone actually smart. Quite sensational. Isn’t it!

Get to know about the sensors your smartphone is having and you might end up finding some new fun ways to flaunt your ‘smart’ companion.

Some are truly made of GREAT

Image
We meet so many individuals during the journey called life. Every one of us is unique. Our experiences with them constitute the learning that makes us into whatever we become over a period of time. The best people to be with are the ones who inspire us. These are the people who know how to live and love with an open heart. Their thoughts, ideas, feelings make us trust them and with time, they make us understand the meaning of greatness. Greatness is not related to money or fame or heroism. It is a habit. It makes one face the troubling situations. Greatness is the test of substance of the character. Greatness is simplicity, love and true beauty of the inner self. Greatness is a rarity. Many of us are good at something or the other. Some of us are better than many of us. But Only some are truly made of great. This post is a tribute to those great inspirational individuals. I also encountered a few people who have truly been great and inspirational. These are the ones

I Warned You!

Team Name: Maximus Dramaticus Read the previous part here: The Warning “I warned you, you nasty bastard!” Shouted the lady clad in white standing behind him. She was holding a razor in her hand, soaked in deep red blood. It was the same lady whom Cyrus saw the other day. The sight was terrifying, the silence of the night was deafening. His heart sank with fear of death and he wanted to scream, but his voice betrayed him. His face turned pale, he stumbled and hit his head on the basin and fell unconscious on the floor. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cyrus woke to the irritating sound of Alarm ringing somewhere. He so wished that someone switches off that irritating sound, but it continued ringing. He was lying on his washroom floor. He tried to search the source of the sound as it was coming from somewhere in the washroom itself. The irritating sound persisted. It was his cell phone ringing alongside the basin. He tried to stand up but he felt unbearabl

थक गया हूँ बहुत...आज सोता हूँ मैं

आज मुझे सो लेने दो, दिन भर का थका हुआ हूँ; नींद में ही सही रो लेने दो।। जब उसका कोई सहारा ना था, वो किसी का भी इतना दुलारा ना था; तब सहारा दिया था उसे एक दिन।। उसके आँसू गिरे जब भी, रोया हूँ मैं, उसकी हर आह पर एक आवाज की; उसको जीने की हर पल नसीहत भी दी।। आज खुश है वही और रोता हूँ मैं, उसको चिन्ता नहीं एक पल के लिये; अपने आँसू से पत्थर भिगोता हूँ मैं।। गम की दुनिया में गम के ही साये मिले, दोसत जितने भी ढूँढे पराये मिले, एक मुद्दत से हूँ राह पर मैं खड़ा; लोग जितने भी देखे,सताये मिले।। गम नहीं रीत है ये ही संसार की, क्षुद्रता है यही स्वार्थ व्यापार की, किन्तु फिर भी तिमिर को सँजोता हूँ मैं; थक गया हूँ बहुत,आज सोता हूँ मैं।।
