5G

Wow here's a really amazing picture of 5G tha Nilav had shared. It is said to be coming out in 2020. You can download a movie in a second. It would take 2 minutes 43 seconds to download all the Simpsons episodes compared to 4G's 2 hours. The size of your webpage could be a maximum of 2-3 GB!!!

Google AdSense

So what is Google AdSense? It is one of the ways you can make money out of your blog or website. I don't really know much about AdSense on a website, but I can explain how it is on a blog. So first you need to sign up on the AdSense official website-http://www.google.com/adsense/ . So one bad thing about AdSense is that they say that it is free to sign up. But one warning which I'm giving everyone reading this. IT IS NOT FREE!!! You need to pay $2 or $3. Then AdSense gives you a Javascript code which you copy paste on the place where you add gadgets to a new HTML/Javascript gadget. The other way is to add the Google AdSense gadget directly. Everytime somebody clicks on the advertisment, you will get money.So is Adsense worth it? You must see that AdSense is actually unreliable. For every click Google might be getting $1 while all you get is $0.01. AdSense has also made many websites lose alot of their feeds. There are even some professional websites which have been using AdSense. But all this proves is that they are not doing well, henceforth they are trying to make money out of this feature Google has provided them. Next, people do use AdSense in a dumb way. They clutter up their websites with so many ads that nobody would actually bother reading anything on the site. Google may also ban you from AdSense easily. It might be because you, yourself have actually been clicking the ad to make money or they can do it just like that for no reason at all. Google also discloses you from restricting keywords as to your AdSense. You cannot share details with others. AdSense has very few advantages. Its main advantage is that it is easy to setup and use. The other one is that google chooses the ad for you, so you don't need to get into the trouble of choosing an advertisement yourself. I agree with what Craig Chamberlin said in his video-"IT Life: Can You Really Make Money On Adsense?"(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6bvIQ-4D88). AdSense IS unreliable, has a lack of security and the context has to be focused on the algorithm).

Some blogging tips

So yes, you might be seeing some changes in my blog. I'm trying to make it more innovative. So from when I started this blog I added Feedjit(that shows live traffic feed) and Cbox(Live chat) as i thought they would be rather helpful.  Then you might have also seen that I've added a favicon. I really do like the arrangement of my blog. I always prefer keeping total pageviews on top, and this blog, being just a week old, I'm really happy with its progress. Its the first time a blog of mine has got 250 hits in a week. So yes, some tips which I'd give is to stick to the topic. For example I've kept it down to tech so that covers the all technological fields from mobiles to computers to softwares to websites to gadgets. I've also added a poll, so please vote on it. Okay, so how do you make your blog get hits? The first and main thing is to stick to the topic. Then you've got to add your blog to search engines using web crawlers. So those are just some tips. You can add adsense if you want. It can definitely give you some money.

The htc One mini 2



Hey guys, Nilav here, and as Rithvik said, the htc One M8 is already a success and in 4 years they have gone from 1% market share to nearly 15% market share. But what next ? With the number of leaks intensifying by the days it seems like htc will have a smartphone out in the 2nd quarter too! Yes the "unofficial" htc One mini 2 may not remain so for much longer. The upcoming premium smartphone has been leaked once again due to the popular source of evleaks.






The smartphone has been leaked in three different colors, grey, silver and gold which match the trio of versions that the HTC One (M8) had at launch. The design of the new mini smartphone sticks very close to its full-sized siblings too.

Unfortunately the leak brought no news of its technological specs so I hope htc will soon enlighten us.

You can check out my other blog for news on other phones at http://whythisphone.blogspot.in

I assure you that it contains no viruses. Now, how is Torch? What can it do? Is it a malware? Where can I download it from? I'll answer all the questions. Torch is a browser whose layout and design is very similar to Chrome. Its uses contains Chrome's app store(don't worry, you can download and use them). Torch has a media grabber that can download music and videos anytime, anywhere. You also have Torch music from which you can play music. Its quicker and it usually gets music of youtube, so I actually recommend you to Torch Music instead of Youtube for faster results.

HTC One M8

So the HTC One M8 came out about 2 months back and since then its definitely been a huge success. The earlier HTC One was the best looking phone of 2013. There are a few major differences between the One and the One M8. It has a larger display. The sharpness and brightness is like its earlier model. It has on screen buttons. Next the M8 is taller than than the HTC One. It's greater in height. Another major difference is that it is more rounded- around the back and the corner. The edges aren't as sharp as it was. o those were the differences. Next, HTC's camera. It uses a duo camera system. It allows you to refocuses a picture after it is taken. You can blur out the parts that you don't want and focus on the parts that you want, after you've taken the picture. It's called duo camera API. The camera is a 4MP camera. So this phone is made of 90% metal. The power button has been moved from the left to the right side this time. Since it is taller it may be a bit difficult to turn your phone on and off. The head phone jack is at the bottom of the phone. You insert a sim through a slot at the left side of your phone. On the right hand side you can insert a memory card of up to 128 GB!! That was one amazing feature as you could store movies or songs on the phone. The interface of the phone is very quick. While flipping through your applications the phone responds in less than 0.01 seconds. The design and look is excellent. Its like an adjustment to stock android. One other good change HTC has made to their phone is changing the colour of the notifications bar according to the app or homescreen. They did it to match the colour of the app. Every HTC app has its own notifications bar colour. The speakers now. Now again. It is excellent again. It makes every other phone's speakers sound terrible. The only downside to the speakers is that it adds on to the tallness. But HTC has got some ways to overcome the height of the phone and reaching up to the power button. You can double tap on the screen to turn it on. You can also swipe down to turn it on. Swiping left takes you to your home screen while swiping right takes you to your blinkfeed. Swiping up will take you to where ever you were last. The battery life is great. It can go a whole weekend. It doesn't burn down battery quickly. The auto brightness is good. Unlike most other phones, it knows when to turn the brightness up and down! It has a new ultra power saving mode. Okay so something interesting now. HTC has created a dot view cover that takes advantages of the different ways in which you can turn on the mobile without having to reach for th power button. It lets you interact with the mobile without having to open the case! Calls can be accepted and rejected by swiping the cover. The retro custom display allows you to see elements of the homescreen through the dots of the cover. So for its main features are-
It has a Snapdragon 801 Quadcore processor
It has a 2GB of RAM
Runs on Android Kitkat 4.4
5" 1080p display

Tips: Buy it! It is quietly brilliant!

LG's Curved OLED TV

So LG just got out the world's first curved TV. It has immerse viewing. Its curved screen is shaped in such a way that it provides equal distance from all parts of the screen to the eye. The screen is curved carefully so that it allows no distortions of objects and envelopes your view so that you look right into the center of action. This OLED TV produces magnificent colours that are better than conventional televisions. It uses a 4 colour pixel technology. It modifies 3 conventional colours and enhances the colour range and accuracy. Each pixel on the TV can control their own luminescence so that true depth and tone can be viewed. The response speed of this OLED TV is 100 times faster than other LED TV's. You can see fast moving seens crystal clearly, blur free. It shows motion the way it is in real life. The TV has a perfect viewing angle. You can also experience a more immersive 3d view. The curved shape of the TV brings 3d entertainment to its zenith. The curved screen causes your field of vision to get immeresed with the 3d view. So this TV is ridiculously thin. Just 4.3 mm. That's thinner than a pencil! The fact that it is mounted on a strengthened carbon fibre frame, gives it its stability. It looks very thin and fragile but in truth it is hard. The sides are thin enough though for you to bend with two fingers. When you hold it, it is heavier then it looks. So don't get tricked by that! The entire frame sits on a transparent stand. It is actually the curved base that accentuates the curved form factor. The speakers are built into the base and that makes it look excellent. IT is called clear speaker and its definition does match its name! As of reviews which I've read, people have said that while watching TV you don't really notice that the TV's curved. LG describes the TV to be "IMAX like." IT boasts a resolution of 3840 by 2160 pixels. One of these TV's can be bought for $10,000. Might seem a bit expensive, but LG has to gain some profit for an excellent invention like this!
The TV
and its vibrant colours!
