From experience of my life I have learned some tricks which save some precious time daily and I have that few extra minutes in life for doing thins in no hurry. So no more talk and let’s get straight to point:

Tip 1: You bath daily, don’t you? Then why not shave in bathroom instead? Shaving in bathroom saves upto 15 min as your beard is already wet, soft and you don’t need to apply any shaving cream. You can use the same bathing soap of even shampoo that you use to wash hair. What you can do is when you apply shampoo on hair, use some part on beard and while you wait for the shampoo to do its work on hair, you can use the razor to shave.

Tip 2: Wear Laceless Shoes. When you wear shoes with lace, you procedure is like this – you pick up the shoes, site somewhere then adjust the lace so that your foot can go inside the shoes then tie the knot. This may take upto 2 minutes of you life daily which is 1 hour per month. Think about it, you are spending one hour every month just touching your shoes! When you wear laceless shoes, you just put your feet in them and walk away! It takes just about 5 seconds!

Tip 3: Get central locking installed in your car or best you can have is keyless entry. Using keys to open your car door is time consuming. More time consuming is checking all the doors if they are locked or not after parking your car. With central locking, no need to tell that you can lock and unlock doors with a push of a button. Another few seconds time saving tip here is push that button while you walk away from your car as there is no need to specially stand facing remote towards the car and then pushing the button. There is one more very useful advantage of having this feature in your car which I’ll tell later as that is something totally off topic.

Tips 4: Avoid unnecessary conversation on phone when network is not clear. You can always do those non serious talks when you meet that person or when network is clear or you are browsing thru boring spreadsheet in your office!

Laptops are the most preferred computer in both home and offices. Single most important reason is its portability; you can work on it like a workstation and then carry it anywhere you go. However some laptops with huge screen size and bulky components make the laptop heavy and uncomfortable to carry it everywhere. I workout in gym and lift heavy weight but sometimes my laptop causes pain in my hand when I have to keep in hand longer, infact I cannot do that and I always have to find any table so that I can keep it and then work. One day I really got fed up when my laptop battery got finish just before important meeting with client and that day I decided to keep my bulky laptop and home only and buy a second laptop which is small, light weight, has good battery backup so that I don’t have to look for charging points all the time.

I was reading a review at cnet on Samsung’s new N120 laptop and to my surprise; it was really a 100% match of what I was looking for in a laptop. This cute little laptop has a 10.2 inch screen which is just perfect for carrying around and a nice keyboard which feels very comfortable for typing. This laptop also gives me an amazing 10 hours of battery backup, thanks to energy efficient Intel Atom processor while my existing laptop gives me less than 3 hours and that too when I dim the screen brightness. Because I will mostly use my laptop for presentations and even play music when I am with friends, I want good sound output from my laptop and Samsung N120 is a champ on that part too. SRS sound with 2.1 channel speakers gives loud and decent quality sound which most highly priced laptops fail to provide. Talking of price, this laptop comes at a price that will make you smile, at only USD 499; it’s definitely a steal deal. I would strongly suggest my readers to go to your nearest computer shop and try your hands on Samsung N120, and also write your comments; I’ll be reading them all and replying to your queries regarding this product if any.

One of my friend who is currently running his health club wanted to buy his first phone and to get a number he needed an identity proof. He does not drive so he doesn’t have any driving license and he is not in any college as well so no ID card of college as well. This was a big problem and what I was thinking that being a citizen of country like India; he has no proof of his nationality and existence. I don’t know about other things he might be having like birth certificate but that is not accepted as ID proof! I was little shocked that day and today I hear a good news from Indian Government. As part of a project to issue ID cards for all 1.1 billion of its citizens, Indian Government has announced plans to place information of every single citizen in what will be the world’s second largest citizen’s database. This will help in identifying Indian Citizens anywhere in the world and it should be really helpful in national security.

All I can hope that such good plans don’t get dumped. Corrupt officials will definitely try to make some quick bucks in this too. May God keep the database away from corruption!

I was at a PC shop few days back and I saw a laptop which I got tempted to buy. I asked the price and found it on a bit higher side. For that price I could get more features, one of my techie friend suggested standing beside me looking at more gadgets in that shop. Shop owner popped in the scene and started to convince me by telling benefits of that laptop which he failed to do. On the way I asked my techie friend how to find the best possible laptop for my budget and he promptly suggested me ConsumerMate.com website. At first I thought it may be just a review website which will only confuse me with Hot Deals but I was surprised to see how useful a website can be in simplifying buying decisions.

The very first page of ConsumerMate.com has a widget which has sliders to Compare Laptops on price, weight, screen size and check boxes for brands. These few things are the most important and on these factors we make our buying decision. Once we slide it according to our requirements we get to know how many laptops are available which satisfy our requirements. On clicking the button we get a list of all these laptops with full description, test reports and even personal reviews by people who have actually bought and used that laptop. If you are getting all this at one place at ConsumerMate.com, then it’s the ultimate website to browse when you need to buy a laptop.

It has been a while (not so long either) when Fiat India launched its much awaited model Linea. This sedan car was much needed to improve Fiat image in India and this car is doing that quite well. The first look of car will generate an urge in you to own one. From design it looks like a much more expensive car than it is actually. Price range from 6 to 7 lakhs for petrol model and 7 to 8 lakhs for Diesel. These prices are rough figures and price may slightly vary in your city. Petrol version has a 1368 CC Fire engine which generates 90 ps and diesel variant has 1248 CC advanced multijet engine which generates 86 ps but only at 4000 rpm while petrol reaches its full output at 6000 rpm.

Performance of both the engines are good but people who already drive a bigger engine vehicles like Honda Civic or even people who will upgrade from Baleno will find this car little underpowered! Linea is available in 5 colors which are red, grey, champagne, black and white. In these colors red has been very popular till now and not because this color is most advertised but on road this color does look good on Linea. Almost everyone who bought this car has one complain, the built quality is not up to the mark. Every new car has some issues like poor quality fittings and people are finding the plastics used in this car very fragile.

Overall this car delivers what people expect from it and it’s a nice car to own. If you buy it, you will not regret on your decision. This car has forced its nearest competitor Ford Fiesta to reduce its price to 5.5 lakhs so that people can think about it. I would prefer Linea over fiesta because its new, it’s got fresh design and it’s cheaper to maintain car than Ford Fiesta and few more rival company’s sedan. Fiat claims that Linea is even cheaper to maintain than Maruti SX4!

SSL is an important thing to have if you run a website has ecommerce functionality. If you own a website where users are required to view important and critical information then they will definitely want your website URL to start from https instead of http. This is more important for ecommerce sites because users will not enter his/her credit card details unless he is confirmed that website is secure and his card details are in safe hands. These days’ modern browsers will warn user if your website is not secure. If you have not yet purchased SSL certificate and still running an online store then you are loosing a lot of sales. You need to contact a SSL Certificate Authority to get your certificate. Star SSL certificates is a global brand providing certificates at cheap rates, so what are you waiting for?
