The big guns viz. Samsung, Apple, Microsoft-Windows-Lumia, Google etc. time to time jabs each other in all different permutations and combinations and in different timings! Somebody tries to 'eat' an Apple, others may want to become big at the cost of others, they seems to be in a strange type of a 'cold war' where the consumer is in a fix or rather enjoying the 'bad war' of telecom hardware makers and such, just stop this stabbing in the back ... others are just not the BUF-FOONS of the first order, are they?! Related: Who ate the pie of Apple in Apple Inc. Logo?
Is it Microsoft-Windows Nokia Lumia versus Apple versus Samsung? Big gun jabs each other like toddlers?!
Why a sarcastic way to find a top place? This is NOT the era of monopoly where one company is always remain big, the bad marketing or negative marketing by the phone hardware makers is only depreciating their own values, don't fight like the kids, the world is large enough to fit you all, just be creative and be meaningful for a customer for his money!
Watch the latest YouTube commercial from Microsoft Windows Phone Nokia Lumia 920 in which they perhaps try to prove that they are all above the so called Apple-Samsung war! I don't know, here to smile or to think the ways of declining standards of meaningful advertising and marketing in the age of creative internet and e-commerce?!

Well, do you wish to hear the actual but recorded voice of this great inventor and engineer, than yes you can, his original voice is claimed to has been recovered from an old wax disc (voice was recorded in the year 1885). He speaks: "Hear my voice, Alexander Graham Bell" Get into the past, it is time travel, land into the year 1885
Reportedly NASA has confirmed that all the 3 cell phones viz.:
Alexander, Graham and Bell, which are
working as small sized satellites(nano-satellites, just of a coffee
mug size) are working fine in the deep
dark space and are transmitting the information to the Earth as it was intended,
“Since the successful deployment of our three PhoneSats on Sunday, we
have already received over 200 packets from Amateur Radio operators around the
world! We are sincerely grateful for all of your support and would like to
thank you for your key contributions in making this technology demonstration a
success. The received packets are being processed right now and will be
published soon. Please keep sending packets so we can follow the status of the
satellites for the complete duration of the technology demonstration.”
NASA says that these are the cheapest
satellites sent ever into the space and costs approx $3500 to 7000 only. They
are working fine and transmitting the data to mission control at Ames Research Centre
in Moffett Field, California and also to amateur ground
stations ...
Blackberry
is still very smart in an era of Android, Apple iOS, Ubuntu, Firefox and such
mobile OS, for many of its global users!
Skype
is the unmatched brand leader of the VoIP world despite the face there are a
numerous ways evolved to make free audio / video chat like Apple Facetime, Rebtel,
LocalPhone, Viber, Tango, Fring and so on but Skype is all time Skype the heart
throb of many!
May
be (…and surely they will) the Blackberry natives: the Canucks (Canadians)
would be the first to get Blackberry Q10 this May 1st, and thus also
the Skype app for it : ) oh Americans, just wait few more weeks till end of May
…

Stop Press: Officially, now the Etisalat has opened the Skype VoIP data calls over
its network to the UAE consumers, though it would make some ‘huge’ losses to
the Etisalat in returns in terms of revenues, as customers will take the route
of cheap or free Skype calls rather than using its telco or calling cards to
make the foreign calls,
But this is a welcome and essential step and was in demand from
the years; still Etisalat has many ways to enhance revenues, like selling its own VoIP cards, enhancing data price or reduce the data limit, no we are not
saying, that you should cut the pockets your customer, but give them the best
and earn the best so we all are there for a long in this long term VoIP gaming
: )
Now in UAE, or while 'scaling' the heights or depth in Burj-Al-Arab ... use Microsoft’s Skype legally from web, smart mobiles,
tablets, just use Skype app to make audio or video live chat and be happy with
your family-facetime!
UAE: Skype VoIP Internet Calls Officially OPENED by Etisalat: Consumers’ Victory!?
“The
statement did not say whether Skype-to-phone calls were also now possible and
Etisalat did not reply to requests for more comment. It initially announced it
had unblocked access to Skype's website last week via Twitter, then deleted the
tweet.
"It is becoming less sustainable to
maintain restrictions on VoIP because the way people use communications is
rapidly changing," said Matthew Reed, a principal analyst at Informa in Dubai. "So there is
an argument that it's better for operators to find a way to work with
over-the-top internet players such as Skype, rather than forlornly trying to
fight market trends."
UAE: Skype VoIP Internet Calls Officially OPENED by Etisalat: Consumers’ Victory!?
Now it seems soon Gulf / Dubai users
would also be able to use another VoIP / mobile VoIP providers like Viber,
Facetime from Apple, TuGo, Blackberry BBM VoIP messenger calling etc. fingers should
be crossed,
Google Maps are one of the finest things to find or pinpoint any place, city or track any specific location anywhere in or out of this world : )
One can use web or a mobile app to use Google maps, anywhere in the world, they are reliable and much popular for nomads and equally useful for the arm chair travelers!
Google recently organized a MAPATHON contest in India to give its users a chance to feed more info to Google maps for the benefit of all users,
Well, FYI: Survey of India is the prime Governmental agency in India which is responsible to make accurate maps of India and her States, and to check if there are any violations in them from anyone!
Reportedly the Survey of India has filed a report with Indian cops, that whether Google Inc. is violating rules by organizing Mapathon India as it may also raise a few concern or many security concerns?! They reportedly say that this contest was illegal and could be a threat to security! ... I can not argue why Indian soil is tough for Blackberry, Google, Facebook or Skype etc. online tech world, when the world is getting much evolved with the advent of best and pin point and instant technology, why India wants to stop the things in the name of law and security, where law itself is nothing but a mockery and justice takes generations to come for a sufferer there, Do not hinder in the path of technology or you would be no where, a day : ( Related: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survey_of_India http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-03-27/internet/38069707_1_google-maps-mapathon-2013-street-view-maps

Facebook’s
Android devices app, the ‘HOME’ is a venture, which Mark Zuckerberg think will change
the people’s way they use a cell phone and Facebook, we know the modern
communication eco-sphere has a rapid transition from old fixed or land line phones to smart cell phones, tablets, and such palm top devices … Apple iOS and
Google Android are one of the most popular mobile operating system on the Earth
now-a-days, http://newsroom.fb.com/News/597/Introducing-Home
Well,
HOME app for Android is a new way to connect over Facebook using mobile or
tablets, Mark is exploiting the fullest potential of Google’s expertise this
time, using its Android OS rather than making their own or using Apple’s iOS etc.,
reason my be that he loves Google and believes in its potential and open source
platform,
There
were rumors all along, Facebook will launch its own cell phone, but they have
launched an Android app to make Android devices enable for the Facebook Home,
they are smart and intelligent too : )
There
is a saying, fools build houses and wise men lives in them … Facebook will use
Google’s OS and mobile platform Android for its own use, nothing wrong in it,
when Google and Facebook, the two giants combines than there surely would be a
BIG BANG in terms of internet traffic, monetization and ranking spree etc,
Why Home app for Android Facebook?
Home
is an app which in itself is the family of apps, it would surface very first on
HTC First, and could be downloaded for free on April 12, 2013 from Google Play
Store, it will give you the easiest way to use Facebook on your mobile phones
and tablets which runs the Android OS,
You
will find more reasons to use your smart cell phone or smart tablets rather
just to make calls, send texts and such, Facebook wants that you use share,
Like and all Facebook addiction on your digital screens with latest Facebook
app for Android, the HOME!
-You
can keep a chat session though you are also using other apps,
-You
can have a glance for all of your latest friends feed etc,
-When
you will press he ‘HOME’ app button, you will always see the latest friends
post or feeds or news flowing,
Facebook
officially suggests:
“Already have an Android? Download Home for free. Get Facebook Home on
your own Android in 3 steps. Add the Messenger and Facebook apps for the full
experience. Facebook Home for Android will be available for download from the
Google Play Store on certain devices, including the HTC One X, HTC One X+, Samsung
Galaxy S III and Samsung Galaxy Note II. Get the free download on April 12.”
Skeptics are always scary, now they fear that using Google's Android, Facebook Home will kill Google's search business, which is the biggest revenue source for Google?! They think Facebook search will replace Google searches over Android cell phones or tablets, but do not you think no body could replace Google, either this is Samsung, Facebook or such, Google is not an 'Apple' which anyone can eat a bit or peel it of : ) But yes, a bit trouble could be there for Google search revenues, if Facebook dominates or simply 'hijacks' the HOME screen/landing page from Google search page than Google surely will loose big money in turn, but this is a 'game', Google knows how to play this with 'champions' of the game, and is watching, it is clever than us : ) stay tuned!
