has yet to be released, and there is already a case being offered by a Chinese manufacturer, claiming is custom made for the second generation iPad.
Shenzhen MacTop Electronics is displaying a case which appears to have different, slimmer contours than the first-generation model, with the speaker opening unusually large on the back, and a hole for a rear-facing camera in the upper left-hand corner, similar to its position on the iPhone and fourth-generation iPod touch.
The case also features an opening on the side in the location of the mute switch and volume rocker on the present model, as well as an opening in the center of the bottom, presumably for the dock connector. A second, larger opening is located to the left of the dock connector, in the present location of the device’sspeaker.
A second image, posted at Kodawarisan [Google translation], shows a pair of back shells in white and black for cases also claimed to be for the next-generation iPad. As in the other image, these cases show an opening for a rear-facing camera in the top left corner.
Apple has yet to announce or even acknowledge the existence of a second-generation iPad, although recent rumors have pegged the device’s release as coming within the next 100 days.

Just when you have the world figured out a tiny bit, things like this make you stop dead
in your tracks. On April 1st unofficial dropped this news bomb on avid internet users
that the CEO of Facebook, the very wealthy and quite young, Mark Zuckerberg has
converted to Islam and will henceforth be known as Mark Abu-Bakar!
Most blogs and websites containing content on this topic also have a statement from
Mark Zuckerberg saying that he wanted to convert to Islam for a long time. After making
the decision of shutting down Facebook for 24 hours on October 2nd, he took some
time out to think about how things are in his life. The best part being that he converted
online, using a conversion application on Facebook and that the head quarters of
Facebook may be shifted to Afghanistan.
This news was received differently by different people. Some Muslims were happy and
believed that now there will be no anti-Islam pages and such on the social networking
site. Others thought that it was just an April Fool’s joke, which was not really funny, to
say the least. However, “unofficial” sources reported that the owner of Apple Computers
Steve Jobs respected Mark’s decision and gifted him an iPad Nano to show support.
Some even went as far as to say that Steve Job will be converting to Islam after a while
too

Buying a laptop computer is not a childs plays,especially when there so many features and options available in the market in this regard.It is indeed a big purchase to make.Most of the people who use desktop computers are not much familiar with the features and options to focus on when it comes to buying a laptop computer.Computer vendors and dealers usually twist and exaggerate facts to entice the customers into buying their products.An average user who does not has a deep understanding of the technicalities of laptop computers may easily be overwhelmed by the features and options available in laptop computers that are advertised by the vendors.so an average user who is familiar with the use of desktop computers may easily end up buying a laptop computer which might prove to be a trash later on.Therefore it is suggested to do some research in this regard before you decide on buying a laptop computer.
In my view here are a few features and options that you should concentrate on when buying a laptop computer.
1. Figure Out your requirements
The most attractive feature of a laptop computer, as compared to the desktop computer, is its portability.Portability means it can be easily carried anywhere you like.If you need to travel frequently or you work out doors and you need to carry your computer with you then you definitely need a portable laptop computer.Laptop computers are usually much more expensive as compared to the desktop computers.Roughly a laptop computer costs almost twice as much as a desktop computer does.Downside to buying a laptop computer is its lack of flexibility to be upgraded like a desktop computer.Unlike a laptop computer a desktop computer can be easily upgraded according to user's needs.The portability of a laptop computer depends upon its size and weight.The lighter in weight and smaller in size a laptop computer is the more portable it is supposed to be.However,the portability comes at the cost of reduction in computing power of the computer.The more portable a laptop computer is the lesser the computing power it is equipped with.Therefore,it is highly recommended that until unless potability and mobility of your computer are your inevitable requirements,you should not buy a laptop computer instead of a desktop computer.
1. Processor
Processor (Microprocessor) is the heart and soul of your laptop computer.The performance of your computer is greatly dependent upon the type,brand,speed and cache memory of the processor of your computer.One of the two most reputed brands of processors available in the market are Intel and AMD.You can choose either one of these two.At the moment Intel's Core 2 Duo is considered to be the best processor for laptop computers that caters to needs of an ordinary user.The choice of processor greatly depends upon the type of the application programs that you mostly like to run on your laptop computer.For gaming enthusiasts Intel's Core 2 Quad and Core i7 CPUs are a more appropriate.
The speed of the microprocessor of computer is usually expressed in terms of Giga Hertz (GHz).This is an important factor that should be considered while buying a laptop computer.This figure represents the clock speed of microprocessor.It is actually the measure of the millions of instructions a microprocessor is capable of processing in one second.The higher the clock speed of the microprocessor,in terms of GHz's, the faster is the information processing capabilities of your computer.In my opinion the speed of your processor should be at least 3GHz.
Although the processing speed of the microprocessor is a very important factor that greatly affects the performance and computing power of your computer,but it should be noted that ,its not the only factor that you should concentrate on while buying a laptop computer.There are scores of other factors like cache memory,bus speed,RAM etc., as well that greatly affect the processing power and performance of your computer.
2. RAM
RAM stands for random access memory .This is the volatile memory where your operating system,application programs and data being used in different processes currently ongoing in your computer is loaded by your processor for fast acess.Data stays in RAM as long as your PC is running.As soon as your PC is powered off all the data loaded in your RAM is lost.RAM is much faster to read from and write to as compared with other types of storage media in your computer like Hard disk ,USB disc and CD ROM etc.Whenever your PC is turned on again,operating system and other files from your hard disc are loaded again into the RAM of your computer.RAM comes in the form of computer chips.These chips plug into special connectors in your computer.RAM is usually measured in terms of Mega Bytes (MBs).The processing speed of your computer also depends upon the amount of RAM in terms of MBs and access time of the RAM installed in your computer.The access time of the RAM is the amount of time the RAM takes to write data and to read it once that request has been placed by the processor.Typical access times vary from 9 nanoseconds to 70 nanoseconds depending upon the type of RAM.
In my view at least 1GByte of RAM should be installed in your laptop computer,preferably it should be 2GBs.
3.Motherboard
Motherboard is the main circuit board of your computer which has interfaces for connection with CPU and all the peripheral devices like hard disk,CD ROM and BIOS etc., which are essential for the functioning of your computer.Motherboard also contains expansion slots and ports like serial port,USB port and parallel port etc.,for connection with peripheral devices like mouse,keyboard and display etc.The design,architecture and brand of the motherboard of your laptop computer greatly affect the performance and computational power of your computer.Usually the motherboard of the laptop computer is proprietary.You cannot just fit any motherboard in your laptop casing.Keeping in view the significance of motherboard in laptop computer,while buying a laptop computer,you must overview the salient features and architecture of the motherboard of the laptop computer that you intend to purchase.
4. Battery Life and Quality
The most important motive behind purchasing a laptop computer is its portability and mobility.A good laptop computer is considered to be one which has battery which is good enough to last for at least two hours,once it has been charged,under normal operation conditions of laptop.So you should pay special attention to the type,quality and life of the battery of your laptop computer.So there is no use buying a laptop whose battery cannot last more than thirty minutes when the battery is fully charged and laptop is being powered by the battery.
5. Display Screen
All laptop computers come with built-in LCD displays,however you can also hookup an LCD monitor externally with your laptop computer.LCD screen of your laptop computer is an important factor that dictate the cost, power consumption size and weight of your computer.The bigger the size of the display screen of your laptop computer the bigger will be the weight,size and power consumption requirements of your laptop computer and consequently the more difficult it will be to carry your laptop along with you.So the size of the display screen of your laptop computer greatly affects the potability and mobility of your laptop computer.
So,if you are a highly mobile type of person and you have to carry your laptop a lot along with you while traveling by road or by air then you definitely need a light weight and portable laptop computer.In such a case 14 inch display screen will be good for you.Otherwise,if you do not have such constraints then 17inch display screen is a good option.In short to decide upon the size of the display screen of your laptop computer you should first figure out your needs for portability and mobility of your laptop computer.
6. Ports
One of the most important factors that you should take into consideration while buying a laptop computer is that your computer should be equipped with fairly a good number of ports to meet your potential requirements for interfacing peripheral devices with your computer.These days due to growing competition in computer market and to reduce the cost of laptop computer many manufacturers are keeping the number of ports in new designs of laptops very low which may not be enough for potential needs of the end user.So be careful while buying a laptop ,so that your laptop should not be deficient in number of ports that you may need for your applications.
7.Wireless Connectivity
The laptop computer you intend to buy should be equipped with features for wireless connectivity like bluetooth,wifi and Infra-red connection etc.Your laptop should preferably equipped with a built-in integrated wireless network card (like 802.11b/g/n)and an integrated bluetooth device.
8.Operating System
There are three well known operating systems Microsoft Windows,Mac OSX and Linux that a laptop computer may be shipped preloaded with.Each of the three operating systems has its own individual advantages and disadvantages.However,it is recommended that the laptop computer you intend to buy should be preloaded with windows operating system.Although Microsoft Windows has security related bugs and is usually infested with viruses but because of wealth of applications available for Microsoft Windows,it is deemed to be industry standard operating system.Therefore by and large Microsoft windows Operating System is a good choice for a laptop computer.
9.Hard Drive
The hard disk of the laptop computer that you intend to buy should be capacious enough to contain your essential soft-wares and back up of your important data that you may need off and on.In addition to the capacity of hard drive in terms of GBs,it is also important to take into consideration the rpm speed of the hard drive.The bigger the rpm figure the faster the hard drive will be.
10.DVD ROM Drive
Soft-wares are usually available on CD and DVD ROMs,also you need to store the back up copies of your important data and softwares by writing them on CDs and DVDs.The laptop computer you intend to buy should be equipped with a DVD ROM Drive that should not only be able to read CDs and DVDs but also it should be able to write your data on CDs and DVDs.
Technology especially electronics is advancing at such a stupendous pace that electronics products for everyday use like mobile phones, TV and computers etc., that are nowadays available in market, are equipped with so many features and qualities that a common man, while making a purchase of an electronics product, simply feels overwhelmed by the choices and options available in the market. In this regard a video camera usually known as handycam, available in market, is equipped with so many features and functions that it really big purchase to make. So while buying a handycam you should thoroughly explore all the options available in the market and you should do comprehensive research in this regard, otherwise a decision taken in haste in this regard may prove to be counterproductive for you. Unlike a DVD player and an LCD TV, where only a few technical parameters are sufficient to consider, there are so many technical specifications and features you should consider while buying a handycam that it is strongly recommended to do your homework while making a decision to buy a handycam.Here are some important tips on buying a handycam.
1. Figure Out your budget :
Although there are a lot of features and qualities that a handycam available in market might be equipped with,but these sophisticated features and functions come at a price.Obviously,the greater the features and functions a handy is equipped with the higher the cost of the handycam will be.Also,there is always a limit to how much you can invest in buying a handycam.Therefore,i think, the most important factor that dictates the type and quality of handycam that you intend to buy is your budget.So the first and the foremost thing that you should do is to figure out your bugetry constraints and then explore the options available in the market that satisfy the limits set by your bugetary constraints.Otherwise,if you go to market unprepared or without doing proper research then you may be easily fooled by the salesperson
into buying a handycam which can make you regret after buying it.
2. Brand :
The brand of any product is the most important factor which reflects the quality of that product.Usually the products of reputed brands like sony,panasonic,JVC ,Samsung and Canon etc., are much more reliable and better in quality than the products of any unpopular brands.I think,in this regard, Sony is a big name and one of the most reputed brands of handycams available in the market.Therefore,if you want to buy a good quality handycam then always go for a reputed brand.However,quality always comes at a cost.The better the repute of the brand the higher will be the cost of the product of that brand.I think the quality products a reputed brand like sony offer are really worth the cost.
3. Optical Zoom :
Optical zoom is an important feature of a video camera that you should pay special attention to.In optical zoom the lenses of camera move to bring the magnified image of a distant object closer to your eyes.It is in a way equivalent to getting physically closer to a distant object and looking at that object from a closer distance.I think 20X is a good enough a figure for optical zoom to zoom to a considerable distance. In my view optical zoom should not be less than 20X, however if budget is not an issue for you then you should go for a higher figure for optical zoom. However, the downside of having a handycam with much higher value of optical zoom is that even a small shake of your hand or a small jerk may badly deteriorate the quality of the video being shot. For a video camera with a higher value of optical zoom you may need a tripod for shooting videos. A tripod is a three legged stand on which video camera may be mounted for shooting videos. The letter “X” in figure for optical zoom of a video camera generally refers to the ratio between the maximum focal length and minimum focal length of the
same zoom lens of the camera.Optical zoom of a camera is usually expressed as 20X, 30X and 40X etc., which is actually a function of minimum and maximum focal lengths. Whenever you come across a situation where you have to choose between two video cameras which have the same optical zoom which are either of same brand or of different brands, in that case you should look out for the exact focal length specifications like 17-40 mm lens or 18-360 mm lens, etc. and in that case you should prefer a video camera with a maximum range of focal length along with higher numbers of focal lengths.
4. Digital Zoom :
Digital zoom should not be confused with the optical zoom. Both are different parameters of a video camera. Digital zoom is simply enlargement of pixels of the recorded image while in optical zoom lenses move physically to improve the clarity and quality of the image of the distant object being viewed. Digital zoom comes into play only when the optical zoom of the camera has been utilized to its maximum capacity. In general, digital zoom of 600X or 800X is good enough a figure for a good quality video camera. If your camera is equipped with good optical zoom then the role of digital zoom is simply overshadowed by the high quality of optical zoom. In fact if your video camera is equipped with good optical zoom you can simply ignore the digital zoom. Digital zoom has nothing to do with the quality of the video being shot by the video camera; it is rather a marketing hype that most of the manufacturers boast off to attract customers.
5. Storage Medium :
Recoding medium is a vital factor to consider while buying a video camera.This factor greatly affects the prize of the video camera.In vidoe cameras there are three types of recoding media i.e., MiniDV,mini DVD or hard drive.Each of these three recording media has its own unique advantages and disadvantages.MiniDV has been a popular recording medium for video cameras for quite some time.It has been considered a reliable and efficient recording medium.In mini DVD format the camera can record directly to the DVD and the DVD can played directly on home DVD player.DVD lacks the flexibility offered by a video tape, where you can record a new video over old video. In video cameras currently available in market a new feature of recording directly to the hard disc of the video camera has been introduced. I prefer the built-in hard disk of video camera to other two recording media this not only has the advantage of greater video recording capacity also you are saved from the hassle of buying video tapes and DVDs for recording videos through video camera. I think a hard drive of 80Gb capacity is good enough a figure for recording tens of hours of video.
6. Battery Backup :
Make sure that the handycam you intend to buy is equipped with rechargeable battery and it should be able to operate on the battery, once charged, for considerably good enough time.It is also a good idea to get a spare battery.I think a rechargeable Li-ion battery which could provide a recoding time of about 100 minutes for your camera is a good choice.
7. Audio Recording :
Good audio recording quality of video camera is a feature that is essential for video camera.Make sure that the video camera that you intend to buy should be able to record a fine quality audio.Usually the video camera is equipped with a built-in microphone and some video cameras are shipped with buil-in stero microphone, but at times you may need even a better quality microphone than the buil-in micorophone.Therefore,it is recommended that the video camera should be equipped with audion jack to connect external mic.
8. Image stabilization :
Image stabilization is a very useful feature of video camera.The reason of looking for a camera with image stabilization feature is that while holding a video camera in hands and shooting a video,our hands shake and this may affect the quality of the video being shot.Make sure that the video camera you purchase is equipped with feature of image stabilization.Optical image stabilizer is a feature that is very desireable for a video camera but it is expensive,if your bugdet does not permit then digital image stabilizer is also a good choice.
9. Accessories :
