Wrong terms used by people and big communities !

>> Considering Mac and PC as a different OS

You might have heard companies saying,"this product/software is for both Mac&PC" or having discussions on Mac v/s PC.
  • The time was gone when both Mac OS and Windows were considered as different operating systems because Windows is generally used by IBM-PC which runs on Intel processors but Macintosh run on PowerPC processors which use different architecture.
  • But now both are PC operating systems and can run on top of Intel and AMD processors. 
  • So they should use Mac OS and Windows instead of Mac and PC.
BECAUSE MAC OS IS A PERSONAL COMPUTING OPERATING SYSTEM.

>> Rom as a wrong term

Everyday we see in newspapers and magazines that this phone has *GB ram and 16GB ROM.They consider ROM as internal memory but it's completely wrong. ROM is read only memory which you can only read, so we can't flash and rewrite ROM (unless they are EEPROM or removable ROM s which are found in todays desktops). In fact smartphone's ROM is something which even the service center guys can't access.

 >> Another wrong term I have noticed especially in my country is that for videos and movies people use the word "print" for referencing "quality" like instead of saying movie of good quality they use movie with good print.

So we should stop using these wrong terms.

This topic has gained so much importance in today's connected world and have also become so complex that its gonna be a part of ours daily life in the near future with over 50 billion connected devices by 20 20. In simple terms, IoT is a kind of communication between different sorts of object like your alarm-clock, coffee-maker, toaster, washing-machine, plant-pot, cars, etc which are connected to the Internet and able collect and exchange data.  Now lets take the above example that your alarm clock wakes you up in the morning and give notification to the coffee maker and toaster to make your coffee and toast the bread.

Why we have to use ANDROID phones...why..??

Android android everywhere. Does ANDROID really deserve the success it has acheived today or it's just a magic of the tech giant GOOGLE. No doubt android is the most successful operating system on the planet right now. It has such a large collection of softwares on the Play Store and as such the developers, making it such a gigantic OS community ever made. If we talk about it's origin, Android Inc. founded back in 2003 b y  Andy Rubin ,  Rich Miner , Nick Sears and Chris White in order to make  smarter mobile devices that are more aware of its owner's location and preferences.   And then this stuff catches the attention of the tech giant GOOGLE and it acquired Android  Inc. for at least $50 million in 2005. Now the main challange arises for Google is, how to promote this OS against succussful  mobile platforms like Symbian.  There  comes the OHA(Open Handset Alliance) a  business  alliance created by Google  for the purpose of developing open mobil

The World beyond INTEL and Snapdragon !!

>> BATTLE OF MICROPROCESSORS Many people might spend their whole life using just two processors namely, Intel(for PC) and Snapdragon(for smart-phones) or unknowingly EXYNOS, for them there is no processors other than these exists in the market. There are some PC processors like AMD, VIA and some smartphone processors like MediaTek, Intel Atom which are still surviving in this competitive era. So, lets talk about all them one by one:-: I'm not gonna talk much about Intel's i-series or Snapdragon or Apple's A-series or Samsung's EXYNOS, as our topic is for what else is there other than these chipset rulers. So starting the discussion with the AMD (Advance Micro Devices) processors which are famous for their better quality/price ratio.  AMD’s CPUs, especially at the mid-range and lower-end of the spectrum, do tend to offer slightly better value than Intel's "i". Conversely, altough Intel chips have stronger single core and gaming perform
