People who spend sometime on internet know that premium domains sell for very high price like beer.com, mp3.com and so on. Anyone can buy these domains and later sell it for very high price. But usually if these domain are of less than three word cost the same around $8 but these are sold for high due to popularity. I came to know about this few years back but didn’t care to register. Today if I go and try to find a good domain, I will waste hours searching and will find that almost every good and meaningful word found in dictionary is already registered. Not only English, but of other languages too. Still I started searching for some good Hindi word domain names but I was surprised to see all of them registered. Due to my frustration I started typing words like kameena , harami, suar etc which are considered bad words in Hindi but these are also registered! Here if you want to have a good laugh, I’ll recommend you to search them again on godaddy and see what the website suggest you under “More Options” Search for all the bad words you know and crack up laughing. See this for example:

Who will buy such domain? At least I just consider these domains of no use.

A month back ASUS launched a new series of laptop named ASUS Eee PC with much lower price tag of just $199. Being cheap, this laptop doesn’t come with latest Windows Vista OS and all the bells and whistles but it does have all the basic required features. Its technical details are as follows:

- Processor: 900MHz Intel Dothan based Pentium M
- RAM: 512MB DDR2
- Chipset: Intel’s 910 mobile
- 802.11g wireless capability
- HDD: 4GB Flash (8 / 16 GB also available)
- Display Size: 7 inch.
- Connectivity: 10/100 Ethernet
- Battery type: 4 cell
- Weight: 0.89Kg

If you feel 900 MHz is quite low but then think of the small size of the laptop, small size means small battery to feed the power hungry higher clocked processor and less space for heat dissipation. The same reason maybe why a regular laptop hard disk is replaced with an 8GB Flash Disk which should cost the same as a regular 40GB laptop hard disk. There is no optical drive as well and no space for future upgrade as well but an external drive can be easily installed using USB port. There are 4 USB ports in this laptop. With less moving parts inside, this laptop runs quietly and without getting much hot. It comes pre-installed with Linux. This laptop will be able to run Windows Xp well, so those who are interested in this laptop must buy the cheaper $199 model and save $100 for buying an external laptop hard disk with casing.

Pros: Light weight and very portable. Hinge looks very sturdy

Cons: Display could have been little bigger and so the internal disk space.

I sometimes indulge myself in photography and my camera is always with me. When the light conditions are good and I find something good first thing I look for are the camera batteries and most of the time what happens that I find them dead and the camera can’t even take single shot and that too without flash. Not because they were not recharged, but because of not use and kept charged for few days, they loose the charge. Alkaline battery can be used here but after taking some shots, they also go down and cannot be recharged (who said? shh… u can do it few times!) and they become unusable. Sanyo has come up with a product called eneloop which is a Ni-MH rechargeable battery and it comes pre- charged. Just buy it and start using it. Once dead, charge it again and keep it for later use. This battery has longer charge retaining capacity and that’s why best for home use and one can charge the battery at leisure, keep it aside and find it fully charged when needed. Unfortunately this battery is still not available in my city but as soon as they are available I’ll will try it with my camera and see if works like the company claims or not.
