The reverse ideology in buying a new Laptop...for a newbie gamer....

This is very interesting insight. If we time travel back just few years, we would realize that every single 'common' computer user just bought a desktop PC or a Laptop to just browse the internet, listen to music, watch movies etc etc etc. Just then later, that very computer user realized that the PC or Laptop he bought is actually very sour when he intends to play some high graphics games like GTA, Need For Speed, etc. Either his PC or Laptop has a sub-optimal CPU or GPU.

And zip to today. This is no more a problem, provided, if you have the right questions and the right answers to your questions. So typically, when you plan to buy a new PC or Laptop today, following are the typical core features you look for:-

1. What is the CPU and how much RAM ?
2. What is the GPU and how much video RAM ?

And here is one more important decision which you should definitely include in your search,

3. What game titles you want to play ?

And this is ironic to 'last but not the least', that point 3 above actually provides answers to points 1 and 2. And I can already sense that little relieving astonishment and some intrigued brain work in you that how point 3 relevantly, efficiently and concisely answers all other questions.  And yes, you are right. Game titles of today are one of the most powerful pieces of bench-marking tools for your PC or Laptop. Yes, you do not need any profiler, or tool other than a game to check the attitude of your PC or Laptop.

So the PC or Laptop buying guide becomes very simple, ask yourself the question "Which game I want to play ?" Then go to this website http://www.game-debate.com/can-I-run where you select your game company and the title and then follow through the list of recommended/preferred CPU+RAM and GPU+Video RAM for this game.

And if you already have a PS or a Laptop, this website also provides details on game optimization, framerate, etc, when you enter your CPU, GPU and video RAM details.

Have fun and Happy Gaming,

Take it easy....

Do you have a gamer in you ? Still do not own a game console, buy Xbox One now !!

The 4K and virtual reality based game console war between Microsoft and Sony has left many non-console players in the game industry in a paradox. Is this the right time to buy my first game console now or to wait and buy the next gen console. Yes, this generations of research and advancements has rapidly pushed the consumers mindset and stereotyped them into believing that whatever comes in future will definitely be the best answer to their today's problems. To a certain extent that is true, and this truth comes at a cost, a heavy heavy cost. But this blog is not about introspecting how the game industry future consoles will be the best and how the game industry will change overnight in just one hardware release. This blog is for all those nerd die hard gamer's (or college time gamer's) who always boasted there sharp reflexes on age old keyboards and have somehow just stories to tell all around but no consoles. Its bitter truth but still the truth. So what to do now.

If you have been of this type and still waiting for the next best console to happen, come on, take it easy. I would highly recommend that this is and will be the best time of for any first time console buyer to buy his/her first game console. Yes, it might not have par human intelligence AI (like Google, Apple Siri, Microsoft Cortana, etc.) and may also not have 4K or virtual reality ready machines. But do you really care that much...I do not think so. You just care to reload and shoot all those gangsters or demons or soldiers on this war zone or road side killer game and really want to enjoy those dream moments of victory and feel those hard wired reflexes in you still gain, this time with more zeal and enthusiasm.

So go for it and grab the Xbox One Console's on Amazon as soon as you can as they are selling with more than one free games, cool Microsoft memberships, rewards, goodies, and many more.

Take your pick now and start gaming ladies and gentlemen,




Any many many more xbox one bundle on Amazon US.

Happy Gaming !!

'Android' is open source future for Mobiles

Accroding to Wikipedia definition, An android
is a robot made to resemble a human, usually both in appearance and behavior. The word derives from the Greek andr-, " meaning "man, male", and the suffix -eides, used to mean "of the species; alike" (from eidos "species").

Here 'Android' [http://www.openhandsetalliance.com/android_overview.html] is defined as an open source mobile operating system delivering single platform to stack the basic kernel, the middleware and the key applications, thus bringing service based development environment to the mobile phones. Devlopment on Anroid is like thinking your mobile phone as a robot. You have the hardware, you have the objective, Android is the bridge. The entire Android SDK is open source and highly scalable providing endless points to write basic to highly advanced services running over mobile platform. Watch out this video from Google headquarters for a demo,
