Not very long ago Printer was something that had respect as compared to the not so good looking print out a dot matrix pattern typewriter would imprint on a paper, but ever since the Laser Printer era began , Printing is beautiful, easy and silent and the best of all not even expensive. Due to the efficiency of the laser printers its usage is nearly in almost all the organizations unlike the government offices where the typist still has to grab the typewriter handle and start with his speedy and noisy typing. But there is a good joke about Laser printer these days, For instance a Laser printer costs about PKR 2,500 with a new toner and a cartridge while on the other hand same is the price for a refill cartridge of the very printer. Now conventional wisdom says “Why get a refill to be used on an old one when you can get a new one at the same price?”.

What do you have to say about this?

Video conferencing via broadband is one of the most appealing and great innovation that technology has brought to the communication, now you don’t need satellites or other high cost complex hardware for live communication to do live conferences, all you need is a high speed broadband internet ( e.g BT.com’s broadband internet and  wi-fi with there awesome consumer broadband packages and services. ) with some software and a minimum hardware ( e.g Polycom Video Conferencing Systems ) to use the service and maximize the performance level of your organization.

You don’t have to worry about your child if you are a working women on a full time or a part time job and luckily that your husband is also employed, many women had a big big problem taking care of there children while they were employed and on job cos for the best growth and care of the children many women had to either quit the job or leave there kids in friend’s and relatives care giving them not a good time and also disturbing them the other way. I stumbled across this Australian based website Findababysitter.com.au where one can easily hire baby sitters for there children on daytime, after work, at work and permanent based timings. So now if you are at Melbourne and need a Melbourne Nanny for your kid, Findababbysitter.com.au is the best ultimate solution and the best of all everything is online.Currently the website functions only for Australia and not sure about its services in other countries.

I am really surprised at the ease internet has brought for us in our life, shopping online, and online business was something that was really even worth a thought but now hiring people on jobs online, finding the soul partner online and even hiring baby sitters for your kids online is something really internet should be thanked for.

Fahad (My hostel mate and a good friend) has a craze of photography, his skills i’ve already mentioned in my personal blog here and here where in both the cases he won photography competitions including one major event about which i din blogged about. With skills like good photography mostly that ends up conveying a message we were still surprised he never had a digital camera as well. Just with a 4.1 Megapixel Sony Cybershot camera he took some snaps and retouched them with photoshop and bam, won three competitions getting first prize in the two and runner’s up in the third. With great skills like this he’s finally decided to take the passion seriously and to something in which he can continue his future as well.

Recently he collected a fair amount of money to buy, as a first step in the photography a Canon EOS 350D Digital camera , but surprisingly the vendor of Canon in there outlet at our city mentioned its out of stock, even contacting the Provincial head offices came up with the same answer and hearing in the end that Canon has stopped manufacturing this make of camera really made him dis hearted as this was the very camera he needed, other than that he trusts no online store due to a weird taxation and custom policy in our country. Recently while browsing the web i came across this product website where i did find this particular model of camera, but guess what? With a double price. Anyways, not sure if he’ll be happy to hear the price but one of the local online stores have given him hope and we hope its fulfilled so that my coming photo shoots are absolutely free;) { Selfish me }.

So you are a parent finally or responsible for a kid, and you can’t wait to see your child walking, true but its not going to take less than at least a year to see your child finally standing up on his legs and start walking, than even if he does, he is a child and children get tired easily and you don’t want your child to be a problem for you when you are on shopping outside and that you have to carry him along, other than that you don’t even want him to get lost for second if your attention gets diverted somewhere else.

For the cause baby strollers were introduced way in the old times , even i remember my stroller when i was forced into it, not sure if it was comfortable than but it surely was not a great experience. Luckily, for kids today life is so easy and comfortable, with modern bugaboo bee strollers where comfort is the main priority but the advanced features of the stroller are worth. There is a nice covering for the kid from heat protection, the material itself is so comfortable that i don’t think any kid will not enjoy in it plus the protection straps are so well designed that the child won’t feel conjusted and yet still not able to move out from the stroller. So while the kids can have fun within the stroller the parents can also forget about the worries having to worry about there children getting lost or having to carry them home.

While the web industry market is going through a revolution and new directories are coming up each day, the market is going through a buzz but at the same time the number of quality resource directories is way low beyond the number of directories that emerge on the webosphere on daily basis. While a directory can better be judged on the basis of maturity and age there are some other unique qualities that a web directory should posses in order to qualify as a Quality web directory, which includes

• A unique category structure,
• Strict guidelines and accepting only quality sites and resources,
• A decent layout and design i.e easy navigation and user friendly
• Decent marketing strategy that brings only targetted traffic.

While other factors maybe involved such as how well it ranks in SERP’s and the Pagerank but for a quality directory i think the afro mentioned qualities backed up by a decent targetted traffic are the best medicine. While i was writing this article i came across a directory advertised in a directory resource site and i really liked its unique and clean design and not to mention the logo (truly going with the name Argus) and the more i went browsing the directory i was really impressed as i saw only quality sites listed in the Internet,Business and Shopping categories, in fact after fully reviewing the directory it qualifies the whole afro mentioned qualities i mentioned above for a web directory to be rated as a quality resource.

The other thing i liked about the site is the features that it provides like offering deep links for submission, a detailed category page with Alexa details, whois information etc and additional site resources. As a submitter the other good thing that i see is the Page rank specially in a web directory but i was happy to see Argus Vision Directory with a home page of Pr 6 and the most categories as PR 5. Definitely a quality resource directory and a must submit to if you have a quality site to list in.
