Do What Matters

Both have a high resale value. Now, when I have been given freedom by AT&T from their outrageous 2 years contract with expensive data plan, I did the Math first thing. I paid them almost seventeen hundred dollars over two years while on average used 200 min of voice and 200 MB of data per month. They need phone users like us. Before I could test some of the best Android phones in the market, I decided to give myself a break and decided to switch to pay as you go T-Mobile plan. However, I did not want to loose the best thing that my iPhone offered me- my contacts and the awesome touch screen ease of use. So I decided to jailbreak and unlock my iPhone and use the T-Mobile pay as you go service on my phone itself. At first it sounded challenging and risky (the fact that my 3GS could become unusable) but I wanted to give it a try anyway. It is not as difficult as you might think. I am going to share my jailbreaking and unlocking experience with you.  Things to remember: Do not...

Happy 64th Independence day to all Indians around the world. I am taking the opportunity to remember what we used to do as a kid on Indian Independence day and tell the good inspiring stories of those who sacrificed their lives to my kids. We definitely did not have big SALE going on that day. Our parents neither planned a long vacation on that day nor they got us for shopping. We celebrated at our school, starting with Flag hoisting and a day full of activities such as motivational plays, essay competition or colorful parade. I heard things are changing now. Big SALE at malls are stealing the thunder. Kids are loosing the touch. Hope this day does not remain as just a big SALE day. Happy Independence day to all, Congratulations !!

A must see TED video:

info.cern.ch was the world's first published website this day 20 years ago. It was August 6, 1991 when 36 year old physicist and father of today's world wide web Sir Tim Berners-Lee (www) created the first ever website. Even as of today, its a pretty basic looking but very significant because of its history. 

Great news ! Google voice has lowered International calling rate to India. Now its 2 cents / minute. Check my blog  post on how you can use a VOIP adapter and use Google voice to make / receive calls on traditional Analog phone without connecting a computer 24x7.
