Browsing Centre - Decline of the Empire

Browsing centres, place where people use internet by paying the host a nominal charge. This is quite a decent idea for consumers. This is quite befitting for part time users, as they use only when it is needed. Just spend Rs.15 to Spend an hour online. Even , the internet zones were in peak where users wait outside to get a vacant system.

Now time has changed. ISPs are very lenient in their plans, adapting suitably concentrating all categories of users. Also , the setup is quite instantaneous. This attracted people towards hiring a personal internet connection, some even go for leased line.This decreased the crowd that move to browsing centre to access , as they have their own internet connection running in their home PCs.

What about people dont have PC. Fatal attack. Even ISPs like BSNL started providing PCs for those who hire their connection.

Above picture is taken in a browsing centre , at peak time. 90% systems are vacant.

This picture , where the shop proprietor closing his shop out of business.
Are these ISPs affecting the browsing centre business like what DTH does to Cable TV Operators.

2012 End of the world?

This is a hottest question around the world and am no exception for that.Still there is no clear evidence about what is going to happen.Theoretically , the Mayan calendar ends.After that a new Era emerges, which will be similar to restarting the world. Assuming this as just an assumption. The Assumption is based on the fact that scientists believe that, the planets and other bodies in space, might undergo physical changes (Spiritual in case of Astrologers) which might cause a natural calamity. The Universal fact says " EARTH WILL BE ALIVE AS LONG AS THE SUN IS ". So it is clear that, world will not end, but we will face an end. The actual meaning of the phrase " WORLD ENDS " is , the huge mass called EARTH should explode and scatter into the space as small pieces losing its gravitational force. So there wont be any chance for living creatures to exist once again. But research and prediction say, EARTH will be restored after a huge disaster. Living creatures will n...

HTC Wildfire - Display ,Touch Sensor and Accelerometer

Just went through the online reviews before buying HTC Wildfire to see everyone cursing the display that "Its Pathetic". That is because of the resolution. The screen is large enough( 3.2" ) to show everything, but the resolution is just 320 x 240 pixels. But this is in no way a set back.

Whenever i take a snap of something and hand over the device to some one, they touch some part of screen while receiving it and finally they complaint that they see a diff...
