Memory for your Digital Camera

A Memory Card does a lot more than just store photos. It can store fast and help process better.

A new camera has all the different kinds of memory cards you can buy. Memory cards don’t just vary in terms of the amount of data they can store. They all have different data transfer speeds. Faster Memory cards help the camera for better photography. 

It all depends on the kind of photography involved. For example, most of the action involved in "sequence photographs" require camera speeds close to three frames per second to capture all of the shots that go into creating the sequence. If you think about it, that’s a lot of pictures to transfer from the camera to the memory card within a fairly short period of time. In a situation like that, having a high speed memory card is very important.

Why Apple launches iPhone 5s and 5C

Amidst all the rumors and whispers, Apple has launched two new flagship smartphones, the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5C. Rumors about most of the specifications were bang on and the event literally had nothing new to showcase.

How was the event a let down:

• iPhone 5 will be obsolete and replaced by the 2 new phones - India just started buying iPhone 5. This is a FacePalm moment.
• iPhone 5s is for the niche market with a high grade aluminum body - Cheers. But at a high price.
• iPhone 5C with a plastic body is mostly for Asia-Pacific market - Which means China ONLY. In any case, the price still remains close to INR 45,000/-
• We knew what is coming in 5s and 5C and we are not impressed
• iPhone in vibrant colors - Sheer Stupidity. We liked it earlier for the professional-cum-elegant look.
• iPhone 5s - in Gold?? - Priceless...
• Nokia added to the fun and late event chaos with its tweets taunting Apple (read more below) 

Computing: A Memory Game

5" Sony Xperia Z Smartphone- Review

The Sony Xperia Z smartphone gives you everything and protects every bit of it. Its relatively smooth and will let you play at work and work at play with its absolutely mind blowing experience. I just got my hands on this closed device and am not so sure what I think of it.

Before starting the review, I literally starred at the price tag for quite sometime. 40,000 RUPEES it says?? Really?? That is close to 13gms of Gold. This places the Xperia Z in the league of iPhone5, HTC OneX and probably the much awaited Samsung Note 3. Is this really worth? Lets take a look.

My Dream Road-Trip from Mumbai to Dubai

Wondering where to head this Winter?? I have just the perfect option for a Road Trip. DUBAI.

Never Heard off... and Totally Unique. You can be the First to tell a story worth every word.

A journey on road with about 5,500 kms stretching across SEVEN countries in a more than comfortable Mahindra XUV. The car is a monster when it comes to off road travelling. Big on wheels, big on mileage, classy solid looks, power packed features and so much more than you can know only when you are behind its steering wheel.

Sony Tablet Z works under water but cant make calls. Still Good?

Sony on Monday announced worldwide availability of its Xperia Tablet Z Android tablet. The device, announced earlier this year, represents Sony's attempt to lay claim to the premium Android tablet market: it is thin, light, and big on features. 

Though you can take this tablet under water for about 30 minutes, you cannot make calls from anywhere which I think is a major drawback. You dont have to pick the tablet to speak on call, but a network connection surely adds to the mobility that tablets are praised for.

The Tablet Z is powered by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, with each core clocked at 1.5 GHz. This is paired with 2 GB of RAM and an Adreno 320 GPU for added horsepower. The Tablet Z features Sony's Stamina Mode, which can be used for power management. It includes 16 GB of on-board storage and supports microSD cards up to 64 GB for additional storage. The Tablet Z runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean out of the box.
