Surface Pro vs MacBook Air

Image
A few days back, i was having a little chat with my friends who have been using MacBook Air and SurfacePro laptops . To be frank i'm not familiar with both laptops. My friends clearly explained me about the pros & cons , specifications and their interactivity ; I was very much awed on hearing the new facilities that the laptops provided which i had not even heard . So i made my mind to do some fact analysis on both the laptops .After successful 12 hours analysis on it , the following is the specifications :  If you dont want to read the specs rather want to know which is a winner then i recommend you  to skip to last paragraph :D     Storage:  SP4 has SSD storage from 128 GB all the way upto 1 TB while MBA has SSD storage of 128 and 256 GB.  Graphics:  MBA has Intel HD Graphics 6000 while SP4 has Intel HD graphics 515 (M3), Intel HD graphics 520 (i5), Intel Iris graphics (i7).

Google allo vs Whatsapp - Messaging War is on

Image
Every messaging app is trying to be the default messaging application on your mobile and WhatsApp seems to be leading the race so far with no sign of slowdown. Google however thinks that there still is an opportunity for an entirely new messaging app that people will want to switch to and we have Google Allo. Which app is better? Which app will rule your messaging for the next few years? Let's discuss! I've just installed Google Allo and found out that Google's plan is to attract users with popular features . 7 features that i found are : Google Assistant : A amateur assistant which brings whatever you want from google by typing @google   In-message search :  you can just type @google and ask about prospective restaurants or the particular song in the middle of the chat and it will provide you with the links to both in the chat- so it can be viewed and shared with your contact at your discretion.  Automatic response : The app can provide automatic responses to...

Recharge Tips and Hack

Image
                  Recently my friend had a message from telecom service provider IDEA and  Vodafone. Everyone would get this spam message relating to datapacks , net-value pack and talktime ! I used to delete it as it would occupy my phone memory and these spam messages looked awkward in my smartphone (personal view ..not to hurt anyone's feeling). Few days back my friend recharged his mobile number for a full-talk-time scheme. His number had already subscribed for emergency talk-time which is known in IDEA and chotta pack in Vodafone . He recharged his number with a talk-time value worth of INR 36. Emergency talk-time / chotta pack means the network providers will credit you with INR 10 and debit INR 12 during your next recharge ! So lets get back to the topic , by recharging his number with INR 36 he got the following message stating that he has a total balance of INR 16.45 , the reason for this is he got a talk-value of I...

Today lets explorer the trick behind the TV game show 'KBC' and their revenue details : Details : Lets consider that KBC charges INR 5/- for an SMS in sms contest ! India all together have 28 states , 7 union territories , 640 districts ! Total Population = 130 crores Lets consider 1% of population = 1.3 crores Generally the show is aired for 35 mins ! (remaining 25 mins for ads which we will discuss later!!!) A season has 50 episodes Now the assumption part is over for which HERE comes the MATH part which will be hard to digest for many !! Assuming 1.3 crore people are making calls/SMS  : 1.3 cr  X 5  =   INR 6.5cr  So the total per season                                ...

All people's network vs Open network

Image
The people of india are really crazy about getting their JIO (all people's network) sim which has become a nightmare for many network providers . Those who are reading this post would have guessed whats that open network is . Yes the war is on between  Airtel and JIO . Airtel 4G uses 2300 MHz spectrum While,   Reliance holds the license for 2300 MHz spectrum all over the country plus, 800 MHz spectrum in 10 circles and 1800 MHz spectrum in 6 circles for all kinds of services. Airtel 4G uses TDD-LTE technology, while Reliance plans are to launch 4G services in 1800 MHz band using FDD-LTE technology and overall leveraging both TDD- FDD technologies. Reliance 4G will be launched offering only 4G LTE connectivity, unlike Airtel 4G which may revert to older technologies like 3G or 2G. According to a report by brokerage firm Credit Suisse , download speed on 4G network of Reliance Jio during its beta-test phase peaked at   70 M...
