Competitive overview of different phones in the market which have good price to quality ratios :


Well the mobile phone market has been a monopoly of Nokia, and its for a reason. Other than nokia’s the other mobile phone companies which are the alternatives and have a very good fan following to sustain sales are Sony ericsson, samsung and motorola. Though many other manufacturers are there we will see only these for obvious reasons.
Sony ericsson, the company which had been thought to be one of mobile giants to engulf Nokia’s reputation and sales with its all-in-one phones and introduction of walk-man branded phones for audiophiles and flashy designs for the youth a few years back. Now all SE does is try to sell mobiles which have features already in the market and add more  cost for the non-existent brand value.

Another place where the company lacks is in build quality, most cheap plastics used in the casing and housing. Even the PCB of the phone has blobs of glue where it has to be properly soldered which has been done in many companies to reduce production cost and time, all they want is the phones to move faster along the conveyer belt.
Motorola, the pioneer in the mobile communication, the company which introduced the first mobile phone to the ignorant mass. The company is also a semiconductors manufacturer which had produced most of the first generation processors and is still in the semi-conductors as a major part of the company. The company still produces its own processors under the name of Freescale chips.
The company is the most independent and innovative of all companies, once the official supplier of pentagon. It produces its own Operating system for its phones, at early stages it has used the P2K UI are some screen shots of the Phone:

It had also pioneered the symbian project as an initiator and had also started a project for using LINUX in mobile phones for more flexibility. Ezx phones like MOTOROKR E6 and first gen MING:

Then came the MOTOMAGX Platform a complete linux based phone operating sytem, which could run on ARM architectures. Phones starting from MOTOROKR Z6, RAZRV8, E8, EM30, etc.,

 These were much advanced mobile softwares though still not upto the easy to use SE and Nokia phones which use ready-made UI for their phones.

Mundasupatti - a fun movie

I saw a movie the other day called Mundasupatti, I’m sure you’ve heard of it if you’re in Tamil Nadu. It was funny, they took a simple superstition which is around and made a fun movie out of it. It was a period film, exploring the 70’s of rural India. I was instantly reminded of swades, a great hindi film which again explores the development gap between cities and villages, it goes a bit further to compare development as seen by an Indian NASA engineer and his old house-hold nanny’s village.  While Swades was a serious film about self empowerment and braking society’s rules about casteism and encouraging education, Mundasupatti is just a funny movie about how stupid, people are.  The movie revolves around a village after which the film is named, the people in the village believe that taking a photograph causes people to get sick and die. The movie did a faithful representation of the rural India, with its proud people and crazy traditions which make no sense. People...

AMCS/AT – Artificial Mind Control System / Artificial Telepathy Telepathy: Legilimency, Artificial Intelligence The March 23, 1991 ITV news brief "High-Tech Psychological Warfare Arrives in the Middle East" describes a US Psychological Operations (PsyOps) tactic directed against Iraqi troops in Kuwait during Operation Desert Storm.

The March 26, 1991 news brief states that among the standard military planning groups in the centre of US war planning operations at Riyadh was "an unbelievable and highly classified PsyOps program utilizing 'silent sound' techniques." The opportunity to use this method occurred when Saddam Hussein's military command-and-control system was destroyed. The Iraqi troops were then forced to use commercial FM radio stations to carry encoded commands, which were broadcast on the 100 MHz freque...

She is a very nice girl, I hate nice girls

He misses the first couple of months of school and when he joins school again, the students have already settled in and have their own groups. Our protagonist once again becomes a loner.

He eventually meets the girl, Yuigahama Yui , whose dog he saved, but only the girl recognises him. Weeks later when he finds that out from someone else, he begins to suspect that Yui is nice to him because of her guilt over the accident which was caused by her dog. He confronts Yui the next day and says that she doesn’t have to feel guilty because of the accident, He did what he thought was right and that he would have been a loner even if the accident had not happened and there was nothing that she could do to ...
