Boys with Toys

A few people were racing their bikes this afternoon at Pondicherry beach, and one of them fell down, and almost killed a dog that was passing by. Luckily nothing happened to him, but looks like his bike needs to be sold for scrap. Motorbikes should be used with responsibility, and that is why the government issues licenses to people who want to ride it to make sure that they use it responsibility, and not merely as toys

Golden Eye

The year when the James Bond Movie named Golden Eye rolled out, in 1997 if Im right, LG rolled out its new technology in its TVs called Golden Eye. The so called space age technology that adjusts brightness and contrast depending on the ambient light is nothing but a Light Dependent resistor that sits next to the IR Port for the remote control always looking for light.

When the light is less in the room, the LDR provides the appropriate resistance value to the current that flows thru it, and thus the other circuitary in the TV will keep the brightness and contrast levels low. When the amount of light is high, the resistance of the LDR or the light dependent resistor changes, and the contrast and brightness settings change automatically on the TV.

Such simple technology in the eyes of an engineer who knows what is what is being propagated as some Space Age Technology by these giants who have got money for advertising.

These days LG and Samsung are the best selling TVs in Indian markets, while they offer nothing more than what the earlier companies used to provide, except for the flashy casing and frills like the Golden Eye.

Harley Davidson

Harley Davidson is to the Americans what Bullet is to India. Harley is naturally a more powerful motor cycle thanks to the good American roads and bikers. But unlike the bullet, the design has changed a lot. In early days the engine used to be mounted on the front wheel, and the backwheel was completely free, just like the front wheel of the bikes today.

Spare parts of those motorcycles are rarely available today. Though luckily there are a few websites that sell Harley parts, which you can count on. Thanks to the ecommerce revolution, you will find everything that you want on the internet before you have to go to a local store.

Credit Network

It is highly important that you get your credit cards from good credit companies or banks, and cards that have good features. There is no point in getting a card when you are in need of urgent credit for a higher interest rate just because they do the processing fast and give you the cards 2 days earlier than the others.

Always review the cards that you wish to go for, do a very good deal of comparision of all the cards that are avaible in the market. If you dont have the tiem to do it, or if you dont know what all are the factors that you need to be looking for in a credit card while comparing, turn to review websites that review credit cards, provide a list of cards, answer your questions properly before application, display reviews of other users, and probably give you a virtual councelling on what sort of card thaht you should be going for.

Yourcreditnetwork.com specializes on informing consumers about credit card offers, how to use credit wisely, and occassionally posts humorous insights into the wacky world of credit.
