  • Wibree the new open connectivity technology for Nokia

    Wibree wirelessly connects mobile devices and pc’s to small size devices, such as watches, wireless, keyboards, toys and sports sensors.

    What is Wibree ?
    Wibree is a radio technology that operates within a short range (10 meters / 30 feet) based around low-cost transceiver microchips in each device. This technology is designed for ultra low power consumption (button cell battery) with power consumption as its key design requirement.

    Relationship of Wibree an Bluetooth:
    The main relationship of Wibree to Bluetooth is that it can be interoperabile with Bluetooth by Dual-mode implementation which will greatly extend the functionality of Bluetooth. Although Wibree can be used as an alternative to Bluetooth but Wibree’s power consumption will reduce as data transfer increases.

    Technical Specifications:
    Wibree technology complements close range communication with Bluetooth like performance within 0-10 m range and data rate of 1 Mbps. It is optimized for extremly low power, small size and low cost. Wibree enables or extends Bluetooth’s capability to connect new range of small devices.

    Recently Nokia has introduced Wibree has their open Industry local connectivity initiative.

    The technology will be made broadly available to the industry through an open and preferably existing forum enabling wide adoption of the technology.

  • Mercedes Benz a Passionate for Indians – do you owe one ?

    Whether its Sachin Tendulkar or Amitabh bachan or Shahrukh khan or whosoever it may be, might have a passionate to have a Mercedes Benz at their garage. Hmmm is this part of just royality or a show off to public ? Do you think owning a Mercedes Benz is just for fame? Then you are absolutely wrong !

    Mercedes Benz cars are not just about class, style, comfort but also the engineering technology and performance. The average car models going in India are E-Class, C-class and S-Class with price variation from 27 lakhs – 60 lakhs. The five highlights of each and every Mercedes Benz car is its Design, Safety, Performance, Comfort, Environment Friendly and the Innovation and Technology behind it.

    You don’t have to be a celebrity to buy it, only money that matters and i tell you that the car is very worthy for every penny. Your passionate over Mercedes Benz should not be limited only on the basis if john abe rides it or Big B owns it but a 360 angle exploration over the thing you love. I do have passionate to own a benz but i will when can owe it.

    Moral: Don’t love a thing since someone loves it, coz you might miss something more nicer than that…

    And do owe a Benz car not because of its class but its a perfect car…

  • Celebrate World Coconut Day on September 2

    Today with an intention to spend my brother’s Sodexho vouchers, i went to Spencer’s Daily. After purchasing some eatables and successfully clearing all the vouchers i was coming out of the plex. Just to my side in the parking lounge i found a bulletin notice mentioning “Buy two coconuts and Get one Free”. With a cheapish smile to that ad i found the header saying Celebrate World Coconut day September 2.With the competition of celebrating world days for many events now its chance to celebrate coconut day.

    A report from The Hindu says that

    Endowed with 48.5 per cent lauric acid, equivalent to mother’s milk, the coconut oil with medium chain fatty acids, will have to play a greater role in developing resistance to children and to all human beings to safeguard against HIV/AIDS virus, SARS and viral, fungal, bacterial, protozoal diseases, which is faced by mankind. Because of its unique property by providing food, nutrition, drink, health, aesthetic sense, building material and other useful household material, coconut is described as “Tree of Life”, “Heavenly Tree,” and “Tree of abundance.”

    Lets buy coconuts and feel its importance on September 2…Lol

  • Use Wikepedia to know Expansions…

    It was on thursday when i was in bangalore, i had a fight with my friend sagar regrading an argument on expansion of a brand named KFC which we saw in Bangalore Forum. I am a Peta member and i know KFC is Kentucky Fried Chicken but my friend argued its Kennedy Fried Chicken since he is a Bangalore Native and a regular vistor of the forum.

    He added postive tags to his argument with reasons like native of bangalore and also told me that his friends too said him once that KFC is kennedy fried chicken, but in my inner thought i seem like correct because i remember having a free promotional sticker from peta on KFC. But since the Arguement is favouring him, atlast we decided to find the answer by refering Internet. I navigated to Wikepedia website and entered KFC. The First Result appeared is Kentucky Fried Chicken and i won.. Wikepedia is the best encyclopedia i experienced ever. By using Wikepedia you can find the company logo, founder, expansions easily and clearly.

    below are the some of the Expansions i found using Wikepedia

    • FCUK – French Connection in United Kingdom
    • JVC – Victor Company of Japan
    • BMW – Bayerische Motoren Werke
    • CII – Confederation of Indian Industry
    • HSBC – Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation
