XBox Games , are they even original in here?

Filed Under (Products, Technology) by admin on 24-04-2008

XBox is probably not a very famous gaming console back in Pakistan , the main reason is because at first Sony’s Play station has dominated the entire console gaming market with the launch of its PS 1 , PS 2 and now the hit of all PS 3. The second main reason that Xbox a Microsoft product is either too expensive for people to handle out here, with nearly no support in the games available out here.

XBox 360  though i don’t own one but is a great thing to be but when you go to the market to purchase games and cds (e.g Hitman, Age of Empires, Motorcycle DVDs, Racing games like Need for Speed etc) you won’t find much variety and even if you get them am sure they are top level pirated dvds with a very bad quality that either won’t run in the first place and if they really do, the graphics quality reminds you of the VHS era and not to forget to mention the life of such cds and dvds is hardly 20 time insertion to the console and than you’re all done! And than you think Microsoft woud expect its revolutionary XBox 360 to prevail over the market which has so much and better to offer for PS users.

I thought only Toyota was the leader in the off-road land cruiser vehicles and seriously i never even knew what other companies other than Mitsubishi makes them because of there market capture in my country, but mainly due to lack of interest in the vehicles is the one reason i never heard of General Motors Company making them.It was just while i randomly saw this giant stylish and sexy looking gmc envoy over the web when i knew GMC was into land cruisers as well. Just look at the thing, doesn’t it makes you feel like “I wanna test drive;)”.

I am just a student though so don’t need to even think about it, but well this thing is really one hell of a vehicle.For complete details and specifications check out the Trailvoy site.

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. Some services like Skype.com offer very cheap video conferencing solutions but you need to have a good internet speed i.e broadband at minimum.

Most organization and multi-national companies use online video conferencing solutions to conduct meetings etc. Even some of the top news networks like CNN and BBC use the video conferencing so that there reporters show the live footage of the latest reports and news online.  Video conferencing is a great service but the most essential part is to have a good broadband solution.

Ipod, Zune, MP3 Mobile phone or MP3 players?

Music is life for nearly every one around the world, no one can survive without music and while music energizes the individual yet it acts as a very useful thing to kill time when you’re bored around and have no one to enjoy with, for this cause the portable music players got invented but than again some of there type went on to make companies like Apple as giant corporation. There are many different types of music players available in the market where Apple iPod stands as the market leader with millions of customers, than there are many people who have music mobile phones with mp3 and video features but the sound remains a question and than there are the conventional only mp3 players whose reliability becomes a question though they have the same function as the big iPod does. What i feel is that for every task a particular invention is made, a mobile phone can never take place of an MP3 player for music and a laptop for the internet usage, on the other hand the last two cannot take place of a mobile phone if enabled with communication features.I came across this website on the web where a good list of some MP3 players, laptop and its accessories, mobile phones, digital cameras and other electronic items are listed with there prices mentioned, thus providing a good price comparison between a range of products that an individual of today needs. Laptop, Mobile Phones and Music players, Life is impossible without these today, atleast for me it is. Hope you find the best one for yourself~

Try iPod if you want something stylish and rely on sound quality else get stuck to a mp3 enabled mobile phone if you want something economical and multi functioned.

Photography, a passion that needs hardware too!

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 }.
