My phone is faster than my desktop.

It was a Wednesday morning when I was with my dad at the office. Dad had ordered a brand new Desktop PC with a Pentium-ii processor. The time when Pentium was thought to be the most important part in a computer.

At a blastin 233MHz it was supposed to do all the work thrown at it in a jiffy. But the cabinet was big. I liked the big box though as it reminded me of a starwars movie.

32MB of ram and 2gig of hard drive were also supposed to be part of a good configuration. The whole setup cost us something around 80,000 Rs.

The computer is now at home doing the duty at best for surfing the net, listening to music and some office work. The specification of the RAM, and hard drive have changed though.

Now why have I suddenly recalled this computer? The culprit is my new PDA. A Motorola E680i. I am just wondering how a 100times smaller PDA is faster than a desktop computer. An Intel xscale processor doing the duty at 300MHz is faster than the Intel Pentium-ii 233MHz


The memory available is again 2GB which is similar to the hard drive.
32MB of RAM and 50 MB of rom in such a small device is really a wonder. The pda performs anything from Mp3,radio,camera,video,movies,PDA, MS office,Internet,phone etc just like our old computer. The price? 4times less the price for a 100times smaller device.


what next? A pda that beats a supercomputer?

WHy did Ford take the Gt away from the world

Ford is Known by many to be a American Manufacturer that makes family cars. Few know that this blue Oval is also famous for building retro muscle cars like the mustang and Ferrari beater ford GT.

With the recent Cost cutting Japanese makers catching up in sales Ford has had to cut jobs and slash many models. Ford GT has been one of the models the be slashed unfortunately.

For $150,000 car 1032 units in 2005 was a pretty modest figure. The GT then known as the GT40 went on the beat Ferrari in its own game in 1966 for the first time and then went on to take the crown in 1967-1968 and 1969.

But now time for some good news. Have you ever heard of the famed car tuners Shelby? They are the ones who make powerful mustangs and the cobra cars.

Ford has asked Shelby to manufacture Shelby gt500 to fill up the gap left open by the demist of Ford Gt. Lets hope Ford gets the sales registers roaring and doesn't go down as a legend in the books of history.
