3rd Generation Technology

3G is a new mobile standards and technology that will eventually replace 2G communication in the future. It conform the International Telecommunication Union family standard which offer wider range of more advanced services such as video call. In October 1, 2001 NTT DoCoMo was the first company to launch commercial W-CDMA network followed by South Korea.

Transition from 2G network to 3G was not easy in fact most of the countries have not completed the transition of 2G to 3G. The main problem faced by them is the cost to build an entirely new system to support 3G with an exception in US where 3G and 2G can operate within the same frequency hence cost is greatly reduced.

With the high speed data transmission, data and files can be downloaded to a computer via 3G connection in a short period of time. This can be done by connecting a 3G phone or data card to a computer.

The world is expected to reach full migration to 3G network by 2020.

Old gadget Vs New gadget

There are some gadgets nowadays simply can't beat their predecessors. It is not because of the technology of the device is not advanced enough or lack of funding. It is because some fundamental elements have been abandoned when they design the gadget. For example if you compare the quality of the music played through MP3 player and music played through black disk you will notice some differences in their quality. The music stored in the MP3 player has been compressed and some of the details has been abandoned so it would fit into a compact data. While the black disk store everythings in it. Of course the chance of defect to the black disk is indisputable.

Another example of old versus new is the camera. Analog camera apparently has much higher resolution than the digital ones. No matter how high is the megapixels of the digital camera it still can't outdo the analog camera in terms of resolution. Unless they found a way to manufacture sensor which is made of tiny molecue then it would be comparable/replaceable. Which is why now some still prefer to use analog camera.

Conclusion, don't ever look down on old school device !!!

Kimi Räikkönen loosing his cool

He was hailed as the Iceman of McLaren team but things have change ever since he moved to Ferrari. Failing to shine in a few GPs this year could really cause him to loose his cool especially when his car fails him. Fernando Alonso who replace Kimi as the main driver of McLaren begin to keep up with the pace. While Alonso's teammate Lewis Hamilton is pretty outstanding when he manage to get his way to the podium. On the other hand, Felipe Massa did a quite impressive job for Ferrari by winning two of five GPs this year.

For Kimi and Ferrari it is simply mixing Ice and Fire. It will still take a while for Kimi to tame his car.

Pepperspray gadget/weapon/hazard

I have seen people buying pepperspray for their own self protection. How effective is it? A pepperspray is really a great gadget for one to protect themselve from any harm by anyone. But not many know the proper way to use it. Some don't even use it instead they put it in the most confine place in their hand bag or cloth.

Without a proper way to use it, it can be a weapon or hazard to themselve. I have read in the newspaper that someone fell into their own trap because they did not know how to use the pepperspray. It become a very helpful tools to the perpetrator.

Before you are ready to use it there are some tips or instruction that you need to follow.

They are:

1. Spray in the direction of the wind. You don't want the pepper liquid to end up in your eyes/nose do you !!!

2. Keep at a place where is reachable but not at a place where you put all your make up or stationary.

3. Don't panic. This is the usual advice you will hear but it is rational because some pepperspray comes with a stopper/pin that you need to pull or twist before you can use it.

4. Learn some basic moves so that you can have an easy target on your opponent.

5. Have a short blink or turn your head slightly before you spray. But make sure you targeted your opponent. This is to avoid the pepper liquid to reach your eye or nose.

6. Have a real case scenario practice without spraying it. This is to prepare yourself for the worst.
