5 Tips by Swami Vivekananda everyone must follow



Better thinking is the foundation of success. This thinking only disciplines a man’s behavior and his way of working. Therefore, every human should try not to let the bad thinking over power their mind that can bring bad luck in their life.

Nowadays it is seen that most people to get fast success choose the wrong path. Also, some of them after tasting the initial failure go for a wrong path.

The inspiration of today’s generation, Swami Vivekananda has suggested many ways, which help the youth choose the right path and saves them from any kind of wrong work.


 Keep one thinking and make that your goal. Think about that thing, dream about it and live that thinking. Let that one thought immerse well in your blood cornering every other thought. This is the way to succeed.


 The world is like a gym where we come to make ourselves strong and powerful.


 Wake up and run and don’t stop until you find and attain your goal.


Never criticize anyone. Offer a helping hand to anyone who needs it. And if you can’t help, ask for forgiveness and bless him to choose the right path.


 Remove this thought from your mind that you are weak. Think of yourself to be a free soul and that you can do and achieve whatever you want.


New Upcoming Technologies that changes the world...!


Google Glass

Augmented Reality has already gotten into our life in the forms of simulated experiment and education app, but Google is taking it several steps higher with Google Glass. Theoretically, with Google Glass, you are able to view social media feeds, text, Google Maps, as well as navigate with GPS and take photos. You will also get the latest updates while you are on the ground.



It’s truly what we called vision, and it’s absolutely possible given the fact that the Google’s co-founder, Sergey Brin has demo’ed the glass with skydivers and creatives. Currently the device is only available to some developers with the price tag of $1500, but expect other tech companies trying it out and building an affordable consumer version.

Google Driverless Car

I could still remember the day I watch the iRobot as a teen, and being skeptical about my brother’s statement that one day, the driverless car will become reality. And it’s now a reality, made possible by… a search engine company, Google.

While the data source is still a secret recipe, the Google driverless car is powered by artificial intelligence that utilizes the input from the video cameras inside the car, a sensor on the vehicle’s top, and some radar and position sensors attached to different positions of the car. Sounds like a lot of effort to mimic the human intelligence in a car, but so far the system has successfully driven 1609 kilometres without human commands!


“You can count on one hand the number of years it will take before ordinary people can experience this.” Google co-founder, Sergey Brin said. However, innovation is an achievement, consumerization is the headache, as Google currently face the challenge to forge the system into an affordable gem that every worker with an average salary could benefit from.

Firefox OS

iOS and Android are great, but they each have their own rules and policies that certainly inhibit the creative efforts of developers. Mozilla has since decided to build a new mobile operating system from scratch, one that will focus on true openness, freedom and user choice. It’s Firefox OS.

Firefox OS is built on Gonk, Gecko and Gaia software layers – for the rest of us, it means it is built on open source, and it carries web technologies such as HTML5 and CSS3.



Developers can create and debut web apps without the blockade of requirements set by app stores, and users could even customize the OS based on their needs. Currently the OS has made its debut on Android-compatible phones, and the impression so far, is great.

You can use the OS to do essential tasks you do on iOS or Android: calling friends, browsing web, taking photos, playing games, they are all possible on Firefox OS, set to rock the smartphone market.

Apple iPhone 5S: Comparing superphones

It’s a tale of two solitudes: Apple has stuck to a roughly once-a-year product release cadence with its iPhone since it first bowed in 2007, while new and ever-more feature-laden Android-powered superphones from Samsung, Motorola, HTC, LG, Sony and others seem to pop up in stores and online virtually every week or so.
As the competition continued to mount, Apple’s annual cycle didn’t do the iconic smartphone any favours this year. The iPhone 5 cruised into the late summer with a growing list of things it lacked compered to the competition. The almost-year-old product – it turns one out Sept. 12th – needed a refresh.
A quick look at the specs of the just-announced iPhone 5S shows that Apple has once again levelled the playing field. Where the iPhone 5 was starting to be outshone by newer competitors with faster Wi-Fi, enterprise-grade security and quad- and even eight-core processors, the new 5S fills in the obvious gaps, with careful tweaks to the hardware and the upgrade to iOS7. In doing so, Apple’s latest device re-ignites the battle for supremacy among flagship phones.
The new top-end device manages to re-establish the iPhones without radically shifting away from what made previous versions so successful in he first place. At first glance, save for the fancy new slate, gold or silver color scheme, it’s easy to mistake the 5S for the 5. Continuing its previous habit of keeping the basic shape consistent for at least two consecutive generations, the screen hasn’t physically grown.
While the new superphone’s less expensive little brother, the colourful iPhone 5C, may have stolen some of the 5S’s thunder, it’s the halo product that sets the tone for the platform and indicates where Apple may be headed next with the rest of its iOS-based lineup, namely the iPad and iPod touch. For now, at least, the 5S keeps Apple current.
Here’s a closer look at today’s top superphones from the major players. While no one device is perfect for everyone, some hardware specs matter more – or less – depending on how the phone is ultimately used. Let the specs be your guide:

3 Reasons why spider webs bring bad luck in a house


It is known that cleanliness in a house keeps people away from diseases. But cleanliness is also related to Gods and Goddesses. It is believed that Gods only reside in a house, which is clean. Generally, people clean the lower part of their houses, but don’t clean the upper part regularly. In such parts therefore, spider webs are formed. Spider webs in a house are considered inauspicious.


Generally, old people and scholars say that the houses should not have spider webs. It is not a superstition but there is a scientific as well as religious fact behind it. The spider webs are formed in such a way that it generates a lot of negative energy.

The corner that has spider webs is filled with negative energy. This leads to many problems in a house.


One web of a spider is a house to many tiny particles that causes many diseases. Spider webs also not let people work with concentration.

iPhone 5s vs. Galaxy S 4: How does Apple's new iPhone match up with the Samsung superphone?

At the event in Cupertino, Apple finally introduced the world to its much rumored iPhone 5s, flaunting a great number of spec and feature bumps over the company’s preceding smartphone, theiPhone 5. So, as the iPhone 5s becomes the de facto Apple flagship smartphone device, we wondered: Does Apple make the biggest and baddest smartphone on the block? Or does that crown belong to Apple's arch-rival, Samsung, and its Galaxy S 4? 

With apologies to the HTC One, Galaxy Note 3 and Nokia Lumia 1020, we compared the specs of the GS4 and 5s head-to-head to see which one reigned supreme. Dig in to see how the two superphones differ, and which one you might consider buying

The Samsung Galaxy S4 (left) and the iPhone S5 (right).
Processing Power and Memory

Apple says its new processor for the iPhone 5s is a 64-bit chip called the A7, and that the iPhone 5s will also run a 64-bit version of Apple’s iOS 7 (For an explanation of what that means, click here). Apple is claiming that this will boost speed and the graphics you can play on games, but some analysts think this will have little to no effect on performance, as it’s unlikely that Apple will equip a smartphone with 4 or more GB of RAM anytime soon (Apple doesn't publicize it, but the iPhone 5s likely uses 2GB of RAM). 

Still, Apple says its new flagship smartphone is over twice as fast as the iPhone 5, and its phones generally feature palpable speed boosts over predecessors.

The Galaxy S 4, meanwhile, is powered by a Qualcomm quad-core Snapdragon 600 clocked at 1.9 GHz and uses 2GB of RAM, a hardware configuration that, as it seems, wouldn’t benefit from being reconfigured for a 64-bit environment.Both of these smartphones come in the standard 16, 32 and 64 GB internal memory variations, but the Galaxy S 4 also has the option to add a microSD card for up to 64 extra GB of storage.

We don't yet have any speed tests for the iPhone 5s, but the 
Galaxy S 4 generally scores pretty well. Soon, we'll know how it compares to the new iPhone. 

This is Apple's new A7 processor, featured in the iPhone 5S.
Device Build and Display
Apple is producing gold, silver, and “space gray” high-grade aluminum cased versions of the iPhone 5s. Much the same as the design of the iPhone 5, the aluminum build allows for the overall weight of the device to sit at a quarter of a pound, slightly lighter than the plastic-cased Galaxy S 4, which weighs in at .29 pounds. The Galaxy S 4 comes in black and white versions. The iPhone is widely considered to feel nicer, and is still a bit lighter than the GS4.

The iPhone 5s, meanwhile, is also packing the same screen as the iPhone 5, a 4 inch IPS LCD “Retina” display (1136x640 resolution, 326 ppi), while the Galaxy S 4 offers a larger 5 inch full HD (1920x1080, 441 ppi) Super AMOLED display. .
Screen size has certainly been a hot topic in the smartphone space. Apple has decided to stick to the 4 inch screen size for its smartphone, while other manufacturers like Samsung, HTC and Motorola churn out 5 inch display sizes and larger for theirs. Those who prefer a larger screen might opt for the Galaxy.

This is a screen comparison between the Galaxy S4 (right) and the iPhone 5 (left).
Both phones possess physical hardware “home” buttons, but the Galaxy S 4 also features capacitive touch buttons for “back” and “menu” just below the display of the phone. Some find this confusing and messy, while others enjoy the greater control.
Special Features

Both companies have their own "voice assistant" software - Apple with Siri and Samsung with S Voice - each allowing users to make calls, send messages, or even search the Internet for information. Both phones also offer a cloud backup service for photos, apps and other personal data, Apple with iCloud and Samsung with Auto Backup.

But despite all the copycatting, some of the real attention grabbing aspects of these phones are the apps and features that are unique to their brands, and these are sometimes what help users decide which device is more appealing to them.

Apple's new Touch ID fingerprint sensor, for instance, is meant to make it possible for users to simply touch their fingers to the phone’s home button to unlock the screen. No more lock screen PINs or swipe patterns. Apple says Touch ID can also be used to sign in and make iTunes purchases on the iPhone, as well.

Meanwhile, one of the selling points of Samsung's Galaxy S 4 is actually a "no touch" screen control. With Air Gesture, users can answer calls and flip between screen by just waving a hand at the screen.

The Galaxy S 4 also offers NFC (Near Field Communications) technology for sharing content with other Galaxy devices by just tapping them together. On the other hand, the iPhone 5s is obviously compatible with Apple's FaceTime, the much heralded in-call video chat app that most Android users are still envious of.

This is a screenshot from the Touch ID setup on the iPhone 5S.
Camera
The camera on the iPhone 5s is also an improvement from the iPhone 5, a camera that was widely regarded as one of the best on any smartphone. Though still an 8 MegaPixel sensor, Apple claims that its bigger pixels mean better pictures (we’ve heard this before from HTC). The sensor in the camera is also now 15 percent larger, making for greater clarity in captures.
The Galaxy S 4 offers a 13 MegaPixel camera, reportedly at 1.1 microns per pixel. And the S4’s front facing camera is a 2 MegaPixel camera, capable of 1080p video capture, while the iPhone 5s’s front facing camera, or FaceTime camera, is only a 1.2 MegaPixel lens.
As for camera flash, the iPhone 5s has a new True Tone dual LED, with cool white and warm amber flashes that combine to get the best color and contrast for your shot. The Galaxy S 4 packs a standard single LED flash. Apple's camera probably remains superior to Samsung's.
Apart from the specs, Apple’s new iOS 7 squares off against Samsung’s own software advancements on Android Jelly Bean. iOS and Android have long divided people, though most admit that Android has made major leaps in quality and speed over the past several years.


iPhone 5S camera specs: better optics, 'true tone' flash
Battery
As Apple doesn’t often disclose the battery size of its devices, we can only really rely on the company’s given estimates on talk and standby times, of which they say the iPhone 5s should be good for 10 hours and 250 hours, respectively. The Galaxy S 4, however, does have a hefty 2600 mAh battery and, unlike the iPhone, can be replaced if the charge of the battery starts to slip over time. Samsung lists its talk time at 17 hours and its standby time at 300 hours, though obviously that can vary based on your specific usage.
