Are you planning to purchase a new mobile phone or a LCD TV or a laptop on this Diwali? Then you might have searched a lot to get the best but did you get all the information about the product? I think partially no since its really very difficult to gather each and every detail about a product. Now you need not worry because there is one website which will solve all your queries. It is consumermate.com.

It is a wonderful website and its UI is amazing. Consumer Mate is really very user friendly, so you won’t be confused as in the case with many sites.

Now let me introduce some fabulous features of Consumer Mate:

• Ask Us(allows you to ask the gurus to solve your queries)
• Compare Models(compare different models of a product)
• Buying Guide(helps you to find the relevant features to look before purchasing a product)
• Hot Deals
• Test Centre Ratings by Digit(reviews by Digit)
• New Launches(shows the latest models launched in the market)

The most appealing feature of Consumer Mate according to me is the laptop selector. It requires to give your specifications like, Price Range, Weight, Brand, etc. And filters the result accordingly. Even I found its UI better from CNET. It also has the latest street prices of the products shown.

So after summing up everything Consumer Mate is a perfect site to tackle the issues for selecting the best mobile phone or laptop or LCD TV.

Samsung Netbook N301

Hi Friends, Today I want to share my personal review of SAMSUNG’s latest netbook, SAMSUNG N310. It is the world’s lightest netbook with 10.1″ LCD Screen. It weighs only 1.23 kg with a powerful 4 Cell Battery. Its design is really innovative and packed with latest technology for maximum mobility and productivity. It also incorporates a range of features, like an ergonomic styled keyboard, a webcam, etc.

So if you need to stay in touch and want to make a good impression also,  then the SAMSUNG N310 makes complete sense.

Some Remarkable Features:

• Long Lasting Battery – Upto 5 hrs backup
• Light Weight & Sleek Design
• 1.3 MegaPixel Webcam
• Ergonomic Keyboard
• Silver Coated Keyboard to fight bacterial growth

Technical Specification:

• Operating System -> Windows XP Home Edition
• Processor -> Intel® ATOM™ Processor N280 (1.66GHz, 667MHz, 512KB)
• Main Chipset -> Intel 945GSE + ICH7M
• RAM -> 1GB
• LCD -> WSVGA(1024×600)
• Graphics -> Intel GMA 950
• Hard Disk -> 160GB (5,400rpm S-ATA)
• Others -> (a) WLAN (b) Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR (c) LAN (d) USB (e) SRS Surround Sound (f) 3-in-1 Card Reader

I find the first impression of SAMSUNG N310 to be impressive. This is due to its attractive design. Even technically also it seemed to be a good netbook. Its most fascinating feature is the pebble styled keyboard. And the rugged plastic used in making the body adds up to the protection while the rounded corners give it a unique look. It is very compact in size; in comparison with other SAMSUNG’s Netbook. The HDD of 160GB allows to store more than we expect from a netbook. Its LCD gives a very crystal clear view.

Finally after adding up everything I feel that it’s really a good netbook. Main attraction is the design only. So if you are conscious about the looks of your laptop then this is the best netbook you can find in the market. I’ve recommended this to two of my friends also and they are very satisfied with its performance.

So folks don’t forget to share your experience about SAMSUNG N310 from the first impression. Everyone is invited to share there thoughts and viewpoint on this

A nice feature in stumble upon social network site is their toolbar, that makes it easier to submit your posts, and vote (give a point) and reviews to posts you like, or negative vote/review to the ones you don’t like.

Few weeks later I faced a great trouble while installing PEAR on WAMP Server.

The Problem:

The PEAR path is wrongly set to C:\php5\pear automatically than its original path.

The Solution:

1. Edit every php.ini file, change INCLUDE_PATH to your path where WAMP Server is installed(e.g. C:\WAMP\bin\php\php5\includes).
2. Now run go-pear.bat, and follow all the instructions. If everything is fine then its OK. You can check it by running http://localhost/phpinfo(). Else if go to Step 3.
   
3. Right Click My Computer->Advanced Tab->Environment Variables->Add New User Variable->PHP_PEAR_INCLUDE_PATH->Add new value->The path where PEAR is installed(e.g. C:\WAMP\bin\php\php5\PEAR).
4. Do post your results soon.

If  any step is not clear or you have some doubt then kindly post a comment. Even if you insist then I’ll post thumbnails also.

Hi Folks,

Many a times we face a problem of misuse of our mail ids or some bank account etc. So I’m going to explain you all some measures to prevent these kind of activities.

Do’s:

• Change all your account’ passwords every month. Have a alphanumeric password.
• Always check URL(e.g. http://yahoo.com for Yahoo! Mail & not http://abcd.com for Yahoo! Mail) before logging in any site.
• Most of the websites use secured connection, i.e., https(Port No.: 81) & not http(Port No.: 80) like GMail, Yahoo! or any website Online Banking Site.
• Install a good antivirus like Kaspersky Internet Security or Bit Defender.

Don’ts:

• Avoid using Public Computers to access Bank Accounts, Mail Accounts etc.
• Never access any personal account on your office computer because mostly the Network Administrator keep on running tools to capture passwords.
• Never pass on any confidential item over mail or IM.
• Never click links till the time you are not sure.
• Never download mail attachments, till the time you are not sure about its content.
• Never install unknown applications and running Keygen or Cracks(they have inbuilt viruses & trojans).
• Avoid creating online profiles with genuine information and photo.
  

Finally there are tons of do’s and don’ts but if we are alert then we can protect ourselves.
