Apple iPad3 | Expected features | Pictures

As the eagerness on the ipad3 increases on the features that it’s going to have. Here we go with some futuristic things of the upcoming ipad3 which is expected to release in early 2012.
The Apple iPad3 will feature a new, thinner and sleeker design, down nearly 20 percent in size compared to the iPad 2. It will also support full touch screen HD display with a screen resolution of 2048 x 1536. This means sharper visuals on the screen, a special boon for those watching television shows or movies (might I suggest A Bug's Life?) on their tablets. The iPad 3 will also have a lighter battery life, reducing the weight of the tablet.
Let’s see some of the special and advanced features that ipad3 can be expected overcoming ipad2.,

First and the foremost is the processor, Apple is aiming to make the Competition tougher by sporting an A6 Quad-Core Processor in the Ipad3. This would make the look as powerful as the High end powerful desktop.

Second most is the Operating System this will be playing a key role, here ipad3 will be featuring with latest i05OS which host multi touch gestures technology. But few analyst predict that Apple will introduce OS X lion for the tablet since it vll be powered with a Quad-Core-Processor.
Next Comes the Display, as said earlier it will support full touch screen HD display with a screen resolution of 2048 x 1536 with Retina Display.
Cloud Computing, Apple will definitely include the Cloud Computing technology with icloud user can store the places , Apps, songs, calendar & lots more without having stored them in the Phone memory.
Finger Printing Technology, the ipad3 touch screen will be coated with oleophobic material, which will reduce the oil and the Finger Prints on the screen.

Last but not the Least, The Camera it will come with LED flash with HD quality display.
This above quoted are some of the expected features for this ipad3. As the fuzz keep on creating and the expectation creeps on increasing with this ipad3 lot many stuff rumors of information will be kept flowing out. Lets keep our finger crossed and wait for the most expected ipad3 to be launched as early as possible in 2012..:)

Though the tablet promises quite a lot of new and exciting features, rumors indicate that it could be priced at a very high range. However, with the competition kicking in, I expect that the iPad 3 will be set at a reasonable price. Nevertheless, are you going to buy the new iPad 3? And what other iPad 3 features are you expecting? Let us know by adding your views below..,

The New Re60 is it competitive to Tata Nano..????


Targeting the middle class consumers, India's second largest bike maker Bajaj Auto is about to introduce its first four-wheeler in the Indian market. Named RE 60, a four-seater intra-city passenger vehicle Fitted with a 200 cc petrol engine car is expected to challenge the supremacy of Maruti Suzuki 800 and Tata Nano in India.


Bajaj RE 60, which is expected to be the strongest competitor of Maruti Suzuki 800 and Tata Nano in the Indian market, will also lure the car lovers with its fuel efficiency. As per Bajaj, the car delivered an astounding mileage of 40 kmpl under testing conditions. However, in regular driving conditions, buyers can expect mileage of close to 35 kmpl on highway, which is more than that of Maruti Suzuki 800 and Tata Nano. Lower emissions would be another USP of Bajaj RE 60, which would boost its sales in India. Emission will be 60 g of CO2 per km by the 200 cc engine of this car. In spite of being a new entrant in the four-wheeler market, Bajaj Auto has delivered an excellent look to its first compact car. Body colored bumpers and stylish wheels add to the appealing look of the vehicle.
Interiors of Bajaj RE 60 will feature folding front windows, central speedometer cluster and prominent seatbelts in cabin and 44-litre boot space. The digital twin spark tech engine is expected to deliver decent performance on all types of terrains. By introducing the fuel injected CNG variant of Bajaj RE 60, the company plans to attract customers who opt for Maruti Suzuki 800 CNG. It is expected that the new water-cooled DTSi 4 (Digital Twin Spark Ignition) engine will help it accelerate to 70 kmph. The company has not provided any specific details regarding the pricing of this four-seater, though it is expected that Bajaj RE 60 will compete with Tata Nano in terms of price.

While the RE60 is designed to be a commercial passenger vehicle Rajiv Bajaj does not rule out the possibility of the vehicle entering various peripheral segments as is the case with its three wheelers. Bajaj recalled Delhi Chief Minister Shiela Dikshit’s reaction to the RE60’s design as saying, “The auto rickshaws are an eyesore for tourists and visitors.” It is true that the RE60 does look better than the auto rickshaw; however, the biggest advantage of the four-wheeler over three wheelers is the enhanced safety thanks to a better balance.

So, If confused of getting car of Tata Nano or Maruti Suzuki 800 or Bajaj RE60 here below gives the specifications have been detailed in the table below analyzing the technicalities of its competitors is of utmost importance.

Facebook & it's New Metric Demystification

Do you  ever wondered why you can have 500 odd friends on Facebook friends list, yet only 15-20 show up in your news feed..? It’s not that those other friends have stopped using Facebook; chances are they’re still there. It’s just that they aren’t showing up in your news feed.

If you haven’t noticed, there are now two settings on your Facebook news feed: “Most Recent” which shows most of the content published by your Facebook friends in chronological order and “Top News” which filters content based on EdgeRank.

Edge Rank is the new metrics which Facebook has recently unveiled that allows us to monitor Shares and Clicks. Shares are a very important aspect of EdgeRank. You may not realize it, but News Feed only displays a subset of the stories generated by your friends — if it displayed everything, there’s a good chance you’d be overwhelmed. Developers are always trying to make sure their sites and apps are publishing stories that make the cut, which has led to the concept of “News Feed Optimization”, and their success is dictated by EdgeRank.

Facebook looks at everything published as “objects.” These can be status updates, links, photos, video or anything else that can be shared on Facebook. Every object receives a ranking (EdgeRank), which determines if it will show in your personal newsfeed. Objects with a high EdgeRank appear in your “Top News” feed. Objects with a low EdgeRank will not.

Let’s take a closer look at the three factors that determine EdgeRank.
News Feed Optimization (NFO),

EdgeRank = ∑ue we de

ue = Affinity score between the Viewing User and the Edge Creator.
we = Weight of this Edge type (Likes, Comments, tag etc..,)
de = Time Decay Factor based on how long ago the edge was created.

Affinity is dependent on a user’s relationship with an object in the news feed.

Weight is determined by the type of object, such as a photo/video/link/etc.

Time Decay, as an object gets older, the lower the value.

So how will you get High EdgeRank Score..????


Here we go the following lists factors that determine ranking of items in news feeds or could influence news feed ranking on Facebook.


ELEMENT
TOPIC
Description
Fresh news and activities
Recency
Recency of activity (news, tags, comments, likes, link clicks.
The type of content
Content
Status updates, photos, videos, comments
Who has published the
content item
Author
It may be a person, a page, a group, an application. Each will have its own authority and affinity.
Comments from friends
Engagement (EDGE)
The greater the number of comments from friends, the more likely that a story will appear.

Likes
Engagement (EDGE)
Counts could be used, particularly those made recently, possibly calibrated on the basis of the authority of who has done the liking and / or the rate of liking.
Clicks on links, if present
Engagement (EDGE)
Facebook tracks all links to external sites. It is easy to imagine that this data is used as news feed item ranking signal.
Personal Behavior history
Engagement (EDGE)
A user has historically shown greater interest in news by a certain author or of a certain type.


Something else you should know about is the lifecycle of Facebook “news”. No piece of news will last forever. Unlike ranking on Google where you have an unlimited life span, Facebook news is sort of limiting. As users constantly update their profiles and post new content, it has to be seen. Pretty much all Facebook content is displayed in the news feed. There is just no way of keeping yourself “in the news”. However, you can definitely increase the life span of a certain piece of news which you would like to have by simply using the factors above and by Engagement especially which I explained above.

In my next post will dicuss few more on the stuff required to attain high EgdeRank and factors need to do in Optimizing our NFO (News Feed Optimization).

People used to type in the keyword query and search through but it will result with unrelevant searches along with the content you look for and we also will be keep on changing the query to extract the information we need. and this below post will especially feature to the people If your current use of Google is limited to typing a few words in, and changing your query until you find what you’re looking for, then go through the below post, telling you the a better way – and it’s not hard to learn. These below are 12 tips which will be useful in matching upto your relevant search to your expectation when search...!

  1. Explicit Phrase:
    Lets say you are looking for content about internet marketing.  Instead of just typing internet marketing into the Google search box, you will likely be better off searching explicitly for the phrase.  To do this, simply enclose the search phrase within double quotes.
    Example: "internet marketing"
  2. Exclude Words:
    Lets say you want to search for content about internet marketing, but you want to exclude any results that contain the term advertising.  To do this, simply use the "-" sign in front of the word you want to exclude.
    Example Search: internet marketing -advertising
  3. Site Specific Search:
    Often, you want to search a specific website for content that matches a certain phrase.  Even if the site doesn’t support a built-in search feature, you can use Google to search the site for your term. Simply use the "site:somesite.com" modifier.
    Example: "internet marketing" site:www.smallbusinesshub.com
  4. Similar Words and Synonyms:
    Let’s say you want to include a word in your search, but want to include results that contain similar words or synonyms.  To do this, use the "~" in front of the word.
    Example: "internet marketing" ~professional
  5. Specific Document Types:
    If you’re looking to find results that are of a specific type, you can use the modifier "filetype:".  For example, you might want to find only PowerPoint presentations related to internet marketing.
    Example: "internet marketing" filetype:ppt
  6. This OR That:
    By default, when you do a search, Google will include all the terms specified in the search.  If you are looking for any one of one or more terms to match, then you can use the OR operator.  (Note: The OR has to be capitalized).
    Example: internet marketing OR advertising
  7. Phone Listing:
    Let’s say someone calls you on your mobile number and you don’t know who it is.  If all you have is a phone number, you can look it up on Google using the phonebook feature.
    Example: phonebook:617-555-1212 (note: the provided number does not work – you’ll have to use a real number to get any results).
  8. Area Code Lookup:
    If all you need to do is to look-up the area code for a phone number, just enter the 3-digit area code and Google will tell you where it’s from.
    Example: 617
  9. Numeric Ranges:
    This is a rarely used, but highly useful tip.  Let’s say you want to find results that contain any of a range of numbers.  You can do this by using the X..Y modifier (in case this is hard to read, what’s between the X and Y are two periods.)  This type of search is useful for years (as shown below), prices, or anywhere where you want to provide a series of numbers.
    Example: president 1940..1950
  10. Stock (Ticker Symbol):
    Just enter a valid ticker symbol as your search term and Google will give you the current financials and a quick thumb-nail chart for the stock.
    Example: GOOG
  11. Calculator:
    The next time you need to do a quick calculation, instead of bringing up the Calculator applet, you can just type your expression in to Google.
    Example: 48512 * 1.02
  12. Word Definitions:
    If you need to quickly look up the definition of a word or phrase, simply use the "define:" command.
    Example: define:plethora
There are few more tips as well with the usage of Converters, Using link in place of Site, Analysis of Site on google and lot more the above listed are few basic tips for your benefits...! If any suggestions or Information needed to be added you are most welcome...!!!!
