What is Pinterest

The world's witnessed some fascinating and amazing networking websites around the years, to add to the list we have one more around now.

Welcome to Pinterest !!!

So what exactly is Pinterest???. At first I thought it was just another boring networking website trying to be cool on the face of the earth, but it ain't. It showcases our interests and our likes in an altogether different fashion.

Pinterest is more about showing or in other words following what we like. Be it Fashion, Food, Pets, Art etc etc. There is little focus on making friends which may turn out to be a breather for most of us, considering we already have FB and Plus to cover this aspect. But considering Pinterest provides a Facebook login to start with, that takes care of the argument about any rivalry.

Pinterest provides a mosaic style display of the posts that people have created or shared by pinning others boards(articles). We can like, comment or pin(share) any post that we're following on the website. We can follow our Facebook friends as well as follow new ones.

It gives us option to create a new board, on any of our likes or interest. This website is purely information sharing which is what people may also want these days. Click here for the link.

How to build a Telescope .... It's so simple

Hi All ...

Making your very own telescope is really easy. It's knowledge of lenses that you will need to make your own one. 

The logic is the same as the lenses used in spectacles. Light which follows a straight path will pass through the first lens and its rays will get converged. When they pass through a second lens, the effect will be that of the distant object appearing nearer.

It's really really simple and less time consuming to make your own telescope. Watch this Youtube video to get the full idea ..... Enjoy

Pinterest TechGadgets

Pinterest lets you pin your favorite moments, places, blogs, images, videos and a whole lot of stuff. anything that you want to share with your friends, just pin it up.

The tech page offers a whole lot of cool stuff that you would love to get your hands on. Because the links come from around the world that people want to share and want you to read about or gain information on.

I personally liked the webpage because it offers a collection of information from well known and not so well known sources, offering us an insight to lesser known people and what they want to showcase.

Pin it up ..... You will love it.

Internet Blackout. Can we afford it?

We may have potentially faced the worst because of this blackout that occurred on 9th July this year. The Internet blackout as they say resulted, in around 4 million systems being susceptible to the virus.

Systems not being properly monitored or kept safe by anti-virus or anti-malware programs would have been hit tremendously.This situation badly urges computer users to keep their systems safe of such commonly occurring attacks. Attacks that may have effects as bad or greater than what we've seen. 

My article http://techstuffwiz.blogspot.in/2011/10/tips-and-tricks-for-better-system.html also stresses on maintaining your computer systems to derive enhanced performance. Use an effective anti-virus software either free or on purchase. It's not important to have a heavy software as it occupies much of your resources. A reliable one is sufficient.

The virus which spread to innumerable number of countries intended to alter the user's DNS settings which would always lead the user to fraudulent websites profiting the attackers.

These few websites http://www.dns-ok.us and http://bit.ly/Mcafee-checker are useful to let you know if your system is affected.


A system well taken care of will work the best and most optimum for many many years, the same way when you had bought it, provided you take care of it and avoid unsure ways of operations.


Better to prevent and prepare rather than repent and repair :)

Windows Phone 8

Microsoft is way behind Apple and Google in it's race to attract mobile phone users towards it's Windows OS. 

But their new Windows 8 phone may change that. The new phone may become Nokia's and its's greatest hopes to compete against their rivals. Microsoft recently gave out some information regarding their new OS and they also stated some important platform changes.

It confirmed that the Os will support multi-core chips. Also on a 64-core machine which is humongous for a phone. It will also support WXGA, WVGA with old application running on new software as well. It will facilitate users to port their applications from Android and IOS. 

The OS will support micro-SD cards and will include Nokia's turn by turn navigation. If business is considered, the phone will support secure boot, encryption and other usual Office applications. The start up will have a new start screen, which will allow users to personalize their phones with colors and updates.

However, one disappointment is that people who have purchased a Nokia in 2012, won't have this latest piece of OS in their phones. They will need to switch their phones once the new OS is in the market. But representatives of Microsoft have said that they will offer a separate update for Windows later on so that the existing users can use a similar functionality.
