BAN BULLET BIKE SOUND

"Look at me. I own a RE BULLET . I want to make noise and make you deaf.'’

In Delhi , we always talk about air pollution . Odd Even rules are applied. Factories are shut down. Old vehicles especially Diesel vehicles are prohibited to run on Delhi roads. Land pollution is also a much talked about matter. But no one takes the Noise pollution seriously. We talk about noise pollution only during Diwali's and Dusshera. One of the major causes of noise pollution is the "BULLET BIKE". This bike is really a masculine bike with tough looks and great performance, but bullet bike is infamous or famous  for its Sound. In my personal opinion I hate this sound. I thought about writing this blog as the consequence of the bullet bike that my friend has which makes terrible irritating noise when it passes through our street.I told him to either stop this sound or just reduce it but a bullet fan never compromises with sound . A bullet without sound is like a bank without money. haha!!. 


The most famous bullet bike on  Indian road is the Royal Enfield.  It was originally a British company but now it is produced in the Chennai factory ,India(now Indian company). This bike was initially made and used by Army personals, but nowadays  every random individual has got a Bullet bike. The initial cost of a bullet is Rs 1 lakh and it goes further depending on the features. Some of the riders deliberately modify their silencers to create more sound. During July 2015 Around Rs 36,000 was collected as fine from the Pune bullet riders for creating Noise pollution.The sound is Disturbing but for the bullet riders , it is a status symbol. They just want to grab people's attention but the people don't  give a shit about the bike or the sound. Several  activists have launched campaign with senior citizens to ban the bullet sound.

Noise pollution can lead to many psychological disorders in a person. It can cause stress, hearing problems,speech interference, sleep disruption  and lost productivity.The Royal Enfield company should ban exhausts which create this terrible sounds and Government should interfere in this matter. There should be strict checkings in delhi like the checkings happened in pune. Strict fines should be imposed for modifications in the bike as it is against the Indian law. The vehicles which create a sound level above the mentioned decibel should be banned completely.  The states which are crazy about these bikes are punjab and haryana. It is pride for them but a nuisance for others.


Other bikes have smaller engines and more than one cylinders and mufflers in the bike help in noise reduction whereas in bullets they have a big single cylinder with a long  stroke piston which pushes the  burnt gas out of the piston and sound is created in the form of energy losses. In other countries like USA and Netherlands , there are strict laws regarding noise creation but in India no one gives a damn.

If you don't want to close your ears when a Bullet passes  you , Start a campaign against BULLET SOUND NOW

project ara

"GOOGLE’S INTEREST IN PROJECT ARA ISN’T NECESSARILY ABOUT CHANGING THE WORLD TOMORROW — IT’S ABOUT INVESTING IN THE FUTURE"

Project Ara is the codename for an initiative by Google that aims to develop a free, open hardware platform for creating highly modular smartphones. The platform will include a structural frame that holds smartphone modules of the owner's choice, such as a display, keyboard or an extra battery. It would allow users to swap out malfunctioning modules or upgrade individual modules as innovations emerge, providing longer lifetime cycles for the handset, and potentially reducing electronic waste.
The project was originally spearheaded by the Advanced Technologies And Projects team within Motorola Mobility, then a subsidiary of Google. Although Google is selling Motorola to Lenovo, it is retaining the team, who will work under the direction of the Android division.

motivation=

Google says the phone is designed for "six billion people",including the one billion smartphone users and the five billion feature phone users. Google intends to sell a US$50 starter pack that includes a frame, a screen, a battery, a low end CPU and WiFi.
Google wants Project Ara to lower the barrier entry for phone hardware manufacturers so there could be "hundreds of thousands of developers" instead of the current handful of big manufacturers. Anyone will be able to build a module, without requiring a licence or paying a fee.

modules and frames=

  •   Ara phones are built using modules inserted into metal endoskeleton frames. The frame will be the only component in an Ara phone made by Google. It acts as the switch to the on-device network linking all the modules together.

  •    There will be three frame sizes available at first: "mini", which is about the size of an iPhone, "medium", which is about the size of a 4.7 inch phone, and "phablet", which is about a third larger than "medium".

  •    Frames have two slots on the front: a space for the screen and a small horizontal bar. On the back they have square and rectangular slots of various sizes. Each frame is expected to cost around US$15.

  •   Modules can provide common smartphone features, such as cameras and speakers, but can also provide more specialized features, like a medical device, receipt printer, laser pointer, pico projector, night vision camera, or game controller buttons.

  •    Each slot on the frame will accept any module of the correct size. Modules can be hot-swapped without switching the phone off. (The frame includes a small backup battery so the main battery can be swapped.)

  •    Modules are secured with either latches or electropermanent magnets. The enclosures of the modules are 3D printed, so customers can design their own individual look and replace them as they wish.
  •    Modules will be available both at an official Google store, and at third party stores. Ara phones will only accept official modules by default, but users can simply change a setting to install unofficial modules. This is similar to how Android handles app installations.


technical  details=

The first version of the developers' kit relies on a prototype implementation of the Ara on-device network using the MIPI UniPro protocol implemented on FPGA and running over an LVDS physical layer with modules connecting via retractable pins. Subsequent versions will soon be built around a much more efficient and higher performance ASIC implementation of UniPro, running over a capacitive M-PHY physical layer.


the team =

Project Ara was developed and is led by Paul Eremenko.The project falls under Regina Dugan, who runs Google's Advanced Technology and Projects (ATAP) organization. Both Eremenko and Dugan come to Google from DARPA, where Eremenko originated the Fractionated Spacecraft concept and ran the Adaptive Vehicle Make program, before heading the Tactical Technology Office. The core Project Ara team at Google consists of three people, with most of the work done by outside contractors. One of the main contractor is NK Labs, a Massachusetts engineering firm. (Project Ara is named after NK Lab's co-founder Ara Knaian). Another contractor is 3D Systems.

reception=

Initial reception to the earlier modular Phonebloks concept was mixed, citing its infeasibility, lack of a working prototype, as well as other production and development concerns. The current prototype is 9.7mm thick, slightly thicker than conventional smartphones. 

future of project ara=

Sure, Project Ara and modular phones might seem like a pipe-dream right now, but ten years from now? Technology moves quickly. Ten years ago from today, advanced mobile operating systems like Android and iOS would have seemed unbelievable. Quad-core phones? Forget about it.
Bottom-line, modular phones have a ton of potential, particularly from the angle of improving end-user/customer experiences, even if such a model is still unproven in the mobile world. Whether modular phones can actually live up to this potential remains unseen for now.

But according to the latest news, google has cancelled the project ara.To know more go to fortune.com

camera,wireless and that's it for apple 2016

"The real problem is not whether machines think but whether men do. B. F. Skinner"

SEPTEMBER 7 2016, APPLE LAUNCHED ITS NEW IPHONE 7 AND 7 PLUS. THE MAIN FEATURE OF THIS YEAR'S IPHONE IS THAT IT DOES NOT HAVE AN EARPHONE JACK. THEY MIGHT HAVE DID THIS TO  MAKE THE PHONE LOOK MORE SLIM.  THE PHONE IS SLIM NOW BUT WHAT WILL WE DO WITH THE  EARPHONES. THEY COST AROUND SOME 2000 BUCKS. THE SOLUTION IS A NEW PRODUCT RELEASED AT THE APPLE EVENT AND THAT PRODUCT IS THE AIRPODS OR WIRELESS EARPHONES. LAST YEAR THEY LAUNCHED A WATCH AND THIS YEAR A WIRELESS EARPHONE. 


THE EARPHONE LOOKS FUTURISTIC AS IT IS LONG NOT LIKE THE OTHER TINY WIRELESS EARPHONES . APPLE TAGS IT "WIRELESS  EFFORTLESS AND MAGICAL", IS IT A DISNEY MOVIE OR WHAT. ANYWAYS I LIKED THE NEW HARDWARE PRODUCT OF APPLE. PERSONALLY SPEAKING I DID FIND THE AIRPOD AD A BIT RACIAL AS A BLACK MAN WAS USED TO PORTRAY A WHITE AIRPOD. IT'S JUST MY VIEW AND NO OFFENCE. AIRPOD CONNECTS INSTANTLY TO YOUR IPHONE THROUGH INFRA RED SENSORS. YOU CAN DOUBLE TAP IT TO CONNECT DIRECTLY TO SIRI. APPLE ALONG WITH THEIR MUSIC COMPANY BEATS HAVE DESIGNED THIS AIRPOD WHICH HAS A W1 CHIP INSIDE IT FOR BETTER SOUND AND A 5 HOUR BATTERY LIFE. THESE AIRPODS COST A WHOOPING 15000 RS. THAT'S TOO MUCH. OTHER WIRELESS EARPHONES  COST HALF OF IT WITH A BETTER QUALITY. 

NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT THE IPHONES. APPLE PHONES ARE ALWAYS 5 YEARS SLOWER THAN AN ANDROID PHONE. THEY ARE RELEASING THE WATER RESISTANT PHONES FOR THE FIRST TIME AND THAT ALSO FOR A PRICE TAG OF RS 60000/- . ANDROID'S WATER RESISTANT PHONES COSTING AROUND RS 10000/-  WERE INTRODUCED 2-3 YEARS BACK . THE ONLY THING THAT HAS CHANGED IN IPHONE 7 IS THE CAMERA AND THE EARJACK. THE APPLE CAMERA'S ARE ONE OF THE BEST , NO DOUBT, BUT DUDE CAMERA IS NOT EVERYTHING .  IT COMES IN JET BLACK , A NEW INTERESTING COLOR. IPHONE 7 AND 7+ COMES IN 4.7 AND 5.5 INCH RESPECTIVELY WITH AN ALUMINIUM BODY THAT MAKES IT LIGHT AND STRONG. THE NEW HOME BUTTON WHICH IS EXCLUSIVELY AN IPHONE FEATURE  HAS A TAPTIC ENGINE  WHICH IS PRESSURE SENSITIVE AND QUICK RESPONSIVE WITH CUSTOMISABLE  FEATURES. THE CAMERAS ARE SHOWSTOPPERS.  THE FRONT CAMERA HAS BEEN INCREASED TO 7 MP AND REAR TO 12 MP WITH OPTICAL STABILISATION. IT HAS  6 ELEMENT LENS. THE MAIN FEATURE ADDED IS DUAL LENS CAMERAS ON IPHONE 7+ FOR PROFFESIONAL QUALITY. IT IS 25% BRIGHTER WITH A10 CHIP WHICH IS MORE POWERFULL THAN THE IPHONE 6, OBVIOUSLY. 2 HOUR AND 1 HOUR BATTERY LIFE HAS BEEN INCREASED ON  7 AND 7+, WOW!. A RS 15000 ANDROID PHONE LASTS LONGER THAN THESE PHONES. A NEW STEREO SPEAKER SYSTEM IS ADDED AT THE FRONT LIKE IN MOTOROLA PHONES. IT RUNS ON IOS10.THAT'S ALL. 



THE THIRD HARDWARE LAUNCHED WAS WATCH SERIES 2 OR SIMPLY APPLE WATCH 2. IT 'S ALSO WATER RESISTANT WITH A BUILT IN GPS.IT HAS COLLABORATED WITH NIKE AND INTRODUCED HEART SENSORS AND ALL EXERCISING STUFF ON THE WATCH.IT COMES IN HERMES LUXURY EDITION AND A NIKE SPORT EDITION.3RD PARTY APPS ARE ALLOWED.IT WILL COST AROUND 33000 RS .


THESE PRODUCTS WILL BE RELEASED IN INDIA ON OCTOBER 7 , DIWALI TIME. EVEN THOUGH IPHONES ARE THE MAIN REVENUE GENERATOR FOR THE APPLE COMPANY ($155 BILLION OUT OF $234 BILLION ), THEIR SALES DECLINED RECENTLY BUT WITH NEW PHONES LAUNCHING THEIR SHARES INCREASED. THE TRENDING  GAME POKEMON GO IS AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME ON A SMARTWATCH THAT IS THE APPLE WATCH 2.APPLE ARE IN TALKS WITH NINTENDO TO BRING SUPER MARIO APP TO APP STORE. A NEW IWORK SOFTWARE FOR PRODUCTIVITY (POWERPOINT ,WORD ETC) HAS BEEN INTRODUCED WHICH HAS REAL TIME COLLABORATION THAT MICROSOFT OFFICE AND GOOGLE HAS BEEN PROVIDING ALREADY. AGAIN  I SAY APPLE IS TOO SLOW TO MICROSOFT AND GOOGLE

CAN APPLE WIN WITH A CAMERA AND A WIRELESS?.

the tiny killers


"If you think you're too small to have an impact, try going to bed with a mosquito. Anita Roddick"

DEATH IS SOMETHING THAT EVERYONE HAS TO FACE. SOME DIE A NATURAL DEATH AND SOME DON'T. TERRORISM, NATURAL CALAMITIES ARE SOME OF THE BIGGEST DEATH CAUSES. BUT THE DEADLIEST OF ALL IS THE MOSQUITO. IT GOES BY THE SCIENTIFIC NAME OF CULICIDAE. THE WORD MOSQUITO COMES FROM MOSCO AND ITO WHICH MEANS LITTLE FLY IN SPANISH. THEY FEED ON BLOODS OF VARIOUS TYPES OF ANIMALS AND HUMANS. THEY ARE THE MOST IRRITATING (OTHER THAN A HOUSE FLY) CREATURES IN OUR HOUSE. THEY MAINLY ATTACK DURING THE NIGHT . THEY ENTER OUR PREMISES DURING EVENING AND TILL THE NEXT DAY MORNING THEY WILL BE ROAMING AROUND US. THEY MAKE THAT IRRITATING SOUND NEAR OUR EARS AND WE JUST SHOO THEM AWAY. THEIR BITE IS MORE IRRITATING. WE JUST SCRATCH THE BITTEN PART TILL IT TURNS PINKISH RED. WE MAY USE BADMINTON BATS OR COILS BUT THEIR GROWTH IS UNSTOPPABLE .



DELHI IS SUFFERING A LOT NOWADAYS DUE TO THESE MOSQUITOES. EVERY DAY SOME OR THE OTHER PERSON IS ADMITTED IN THE HOSPITAL . THE CASES ARE MAINLY MALARIA ,DENGUE AND CHIKUNGUNYA. YESTERDAY DELHI REPORTED ITS FIRST CASUALITY OF MALARIA, A 31 YR OLD MAN. MORE CASES ARE BEING REPORTED OF CHIKUNGUNYA. THE GOVERNMENT DOES EVERYTHING TO PREVENT THIS. THEY SPRAY EVERY HOUSE WITH MOSQUITO REPELLENT GAS. THE OFFICIALS CHECK EVERY NOOK AND CORNER TO ENSURE THAT STAGNANT WATER IS NOT PRESENT. THEY EVEN FINE US IF STAGNANT WATER IS PRESENT. AAP GOVERNMENT IS DISTRIBUTING MEDICINES AT A SUBSIDIZED RATE . 771 CASES OF DENGUE HAVE BEEN REPORTED TILL NOW WITH 284 CASES IN ONE WEEK. IN CASE OF CHIKUNGUNYA 560 CASES HAVE BEEN REPORTED TILL NOW WITH 128 CASES IN ONE WEEK. ZIKA VIRUS IS A NEW KIND WHICH IS SLOWLY GAINING PACE AND IS MORE DEADLY AS IT AFFECTS THE NEW BORN BABIES AND ATTACKS THE CORE PART - DNA.



MALARIA IS WORST KILLER IN THE WORLD. IT IS TRANSMITTED BY FEMALE ANOPHELES MOSQUITOES. IT KILLS AROUND 660,000 PEOPLE EACH YEAR ACCORDING TO MAYO CLINICS REPORT. WHO ESTIMATES THAT 3.2 BILLION PEOPLE ARE AT THE RISK OF BEING DIAGNOSED WITH MALARIA MAINLY IN AFRICAN COUNTRIES.


BILL GATES SAID THAT HUMANS KILL AROUND 500,000 PEOPLE . DOGS KILL AROUND 25000, SNAKES AROUND 50,000 AND MOSQUITOES AROUND 700,000 ,MALARIA BEING THE HIGHEST AMONG THEM. THERE ARE AROUND 3000 SPECIES OF MOSQUITOES OF WHICH ONLY 3 ARE DANGEROUS. WHEN THEY BITE ,THEY STUCK 2 TUBES INTO THE HUMAN BODY, ONE TO SUCK BLOOD AND OTHER ONE TO INJECT THE ENZYME WHICH CAUSES BLOOD CLOTTING. THE MOST INTERESTING THING IS THAT WE HUMANS ARE NOT THEIR TOP PRIORITY FOR SUCKING BLOOD BUT HORSES,CATTLES AND BIRDS ARE. SCIENTISTS ARE SAYING THAT WITH INCREASE IN GLOBAL WARMING , MOSQUITO BREEDING AREAS WILL ALSO INCREASE.



PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE AS THE SAYING GOES. BUT WHAT ALL HAS TO BE DONE TO PREVENT THEM 100%.SOME OF THEM ARE USING REPELLENT CREAMS LIKE ODOMOS . USING COILS OF GOODKNIGHT OR USING THE  CHINESE ELECTRIC BAT . THESE THINGS USE CHEMICALS SO WE HAVE NATURAL REMEDIES LIKE NEEM LEAVES, CITRONELLA( PLANT OIL) WHICH ACT AS REPELLENTS. TRY TO NOT TO TRAVEL TO EQUATORIAL REGIONS AS THEY ARE MORE PREFERRED HABITATS OF MOSQUITOES WHEREAS PLACES SUCH AS ANTARCTICA DO NOT HAVE  A TINY PRESENCE OF MOSQUITOES. INSTEAD OF GOVT OFFICIALS CHECKING WHETHER STAGNANT WATER IS PRESENT IN YOUR HOUSES, TAKE A INITIATIVE FROM YOUR OWN SIDE AND CHECK WATERS PRESENT NEAR PLANT POTS OR IN COOLER ON INSIDE AN UNUSED BUCKET OR AN UTENSIL. KEEP YOUR SURROUNDINGS CLEAN, CHECK IF ANY DRAINAGE PROBLEM IS THERE. 

IF YOU SWEAT OFTEN  AFTER AN EXERCISE, CO2 IS RELEASED FROM YOUR BODY  WHICH YOU EXHALE THAT EASILY ATTRACTS MOSQUITOES. THE BEST PREVENTION METHOD IS TO KILL THE MOSQUITO WITH DOUBLE HANDED CLAP.

STAY CLEAN AND PREVENT DISEASES.

ambani ki jio ho !!!

"CUSTOMER SHOULD PAY FOR ONLY 1 SERVICE . MUKESH AMBANI"

THE 45 MIN MUKESH AMBANI SPEECH ON 1 SEPTEMBER 2016 AT THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING MADE A LOSS OF  RS 13,800 CRORE TO THE AIRTEL AND IDEA COMPANIES. ON THAT DAY MR AMBANI LAUNCHED THE PAISA FRIENDLY NETWORK- JIO. EVERY 10 NETWORKS IN INDIA WERE ECONOMICALLY AFFECTED BY THIS LAUNCH. EVEN MUKESH DID NOT SPARE HIS BROTHER ANIL'S RELIANCE INFOCOMM. THIS NETWORK IS SUPPORTED BY  PM MODI AS IT IS A GREAT INITIATIVE TOWARDS DIGITAL INDIA CAMPAIGN . IT WAS LIKE THE MONSOON HUNGAMA WHICH TOOK PLACE IN 2013 WHERE RELIANCE WAS GIVING HANDSETS FOR AS LOW AS RS 501.


WHAT IS SO FRIENDLY ABOUT JIO?


1. IT PROVIDES THE LOWEST DATA RATE IN THE WHOLE WORLD . 1 GB DATA AT JUST RS.50. 

2. JIO APPS WORTH RS 15,000 ARE GIVEN FREE.

3. YOU CAN REGISTER FOR A JIO NETWORK WITHIN 15 MINUTES IF YOU HAVE AN AADHAR CARD.

4. THE BEST THING IS THAT AS MR AMBANI SAID -" A NETWORK SHOULD NOT CHARGE MONEY FOR BOTH DATA AND CALL, THEY SHOULD CHARGE FOR ANYONE". SO FREE VOICE CALLS ON JIO WITH FREE ROAMING ANYWHERE IN INDIA.

5.THEY ALSO PROVIDE 25% DISCOUNT TO STUDENTS.

6. EVEN ON FESTIVALS OR GRAND INDIAN OCCASIONS, NO EXTRA MONEY WILL BE CHARGED FOR SENDING SMS.

7. IT'S 4G NETWORK COVERS AROUND 18,000 CITIES AND 2 LAKH VILLAGES. 

8. 4G ENABLED LYF DEVICES WHICH COST AS LOW AS 3000.

9. PLATINUM SERVICES WHICH PROVIDE THE MOST AFFORDABLE INTERNATIONAL RATES.

10. JIO TARIFF RATES AS LOW  AS RS 19 WHICH INCLUDES FREE CALLS, 0.1 GB 4G DATA AND 4G FREE AT NIGHT,FREE SMS, FREE APPS WORTH RS 1250  AND VALIDITY OF THE PACK IS 1 DAY. IT CAN GO AS HIGH AS RS 5000 WHICH INCLUDES THE SAME FEATURE AS RS 19 PACK EXCEPT 75 GB 4G DATA AND 28 DAYS VALIDITY. WIFI IS ALSO AVAILABLE IN EVERY PACK.

THESE PLANS CAN HELP EVERY INDIAN IN EVERY CORNER TO ACCESS INTERNET AND MAKE INDIA A DIGITAL INDIA.  WITH GOOD THINGS COME BAD THINGS ALSO
 

WHY JIO IS NOT SO GOOD?


1. COMPETITION . JIO HAS GOOD COMPETITION IN THE MARKET, SO IN ORDER TO STAY ALIVE , THEY SHOULD BUY THE BEST SPECTRUM POSSIBLE FOR BETTER DATA .

2. PRIVACY. AN EXECUTIVE OF JIO MENTIONED ABOUT DEEP PACKET INSPECTION.IN THIS, THE COMPANY IS DIGGING INTO THE DATA PACKETS OF USER AND MINING  THE INFORMATION IN ORDER TO KNOW THE CUSTOMER'S INTEREST.

3. NET  NEUTRALITY. JIO SHOULD   NOT SPEED UP NET FOR DIFFERENT SERVICES OR CONTENT LIKE FACEBOOK DID WITH INTERNET.ORG. DATA IS DATA AND EVERY DATA IS EQUAL. JIO APPS MAY GET MORE PREFERENCE AS COMPARED TO THIRD PARTY APPS.

4. SERVICE QUALITY. AS MORE PEOPLE WILL SWITCH TO JIO, WILL JIO ABLE TO HANDLE AROUND 500 PEOPLE STREAMING VIDEO SERVICE AT THE SAME LOCATION.THIS CAN QUESTION THE QUALITY OF VIDEO STREAMING SERVICE.

5. JIO APPS POPULARITY. AS SO MANY WELL ESTABLISHED APPS ARE AROUND THE MARKET FOR MOVIES, MUSIC, MAGAZINES,DIGITAL MONEY, WHY WILL ANYONE SUBSCRIBE FOR RS 15000 JIO APP. ALWAYS 3RD PARTY APP WINS AS HISTORY SHOWS.

WILL THE RS 1.5 LAKH CRORE INVESTED IN JIO GO IN DRAIN OR IN GAIN?
