No Comments on What is the Difference between 32 Bit and 64 Bit Operating Systems (OS) / Software ?

We receive number of emails from our subscribers asking, “What is the difference between 32-Bit (x86) and 64-Bit (x64) processors” ?

Well, after running a survey, we found it surprising that many of the people are confused about which type of computer should they purchase, what bit system they require!

I think this article may help those, who want to choose a correct machine, according to their usage.

As per our survey, most of the people are running 32 Bit operating systems. But as the hardware is going cheaper, their curiosity is also increasing about working with 64 Bit operating system. Now lets take a look at the differences between the 32-Bit and 64-Bit OS.

1. 32-Bit operating systems can run on both 32-Bit processors and 64-Bit processors, while 64-Bit OS can only be run on 64-Bit processor. 64-Bit processors handles larger chunks of data as compared to 32-Bit processors. This is the only reason that they are very fast as compared to the 32-Bit.

2. In a 32-Bit Operating system, the maximum RAM could be used is 3GB, while in 64-Bit Operating systems you can use as much RAM as you want (Starting from 4GB to 256TB). If you have installed more than 3GB RAM in the 32-Bit Operating System, then its properties will show something like this,

Screenshot on 32-Bit Operating System with 4GB RAM.

4GB Ram in 32-Bit Operating System (4GB Installed, 3GB Usable)

Screenshot on 64-Bit Operating System with 8GB RAM.

8GB Ram in 64-Bit Operating System (8GB Installed, 8GB Usable)

3. Although you can run most of the 32-Bit applications on 64-Bit system, but there are many programs which needs to be 64-Bit if you want to run them on a 64-Bit system. However in opposite to this, 64-Bit programs can’t be run on 32-Bit OS.

4. Earlier 64-Bit OS driver support was poor, due to which people were facing compatibility issues. But now most of the companies are developing two versions of each application (32-Bit and 64-Bit). So there is no need to worry about the compatibility in 64-Bit OS.

Conclusion:

If you don’t use hevay applications and 3GB RAM is sufficient for you, then you should use a 32-Bit operating system. But if you use heavy and graphical applications like AutoCAD, Video Editors, Heavy Programming IDEs then using 64-Bit Operating system can give a lot of benefits.

You can also install most of the 32-Bit applications (not all) on 64-Bit Operating System. When you do that there will be two directories for the installed program files.

For example : In Windows 7 (64-Bit), you will see “Program Files” and “Program Files (x86)”. x86 is an alias for 32-Bit operating system.

The world is moving into a new generation of Computing, named Cloud Computing, where our all of our local hard-disk data goes at the online servers.

Cloud Computing is really fast, reliable and secure. Rest all you need to have is high speed broadband onto your network.

Cloud Computing are used from a small office to the large enterprises. Companies can grant access to the project specific employees so that different documents and files could be used in a collaborative manner.

Some of the example of Cloud computing are Microsoft Office 365, Google Apps, Zoho Docs, Salesforce etc.

Today, Google Docs and Zoho have already captured the online documentation and collaboration market, but we can’t ignore Microsoft Office 365.

Prior to Office 365, Microsoft has already provided many online tools like SkyDrive, SharePoint Online, Exchange Online, Microsoft Office Web Apps, Lync etc. And now with the help of all these products Microsoft can leave others (Cloud Computing Services) far behind.

If you want to know more about Office 365, you can have a look at the below infographic design from cloudhypermarket.

Google Plus Friends Limit: You’ve reached the maximum number of people that can be in your circles at this time.

5 Comments on Google Plus Friends Limit: You’ve reached the maximum number of people that can be in your circles at this time.

We are receiving number of emails from our users saying that they can’t add more people to their circles in Google Plus.
Whenever they are adding new people to the circle, the below message is displayed :

You’ve reached the maximum number of people that can be in your circles at this time.

Google+ Limit : You've reached the maximum number of people that can be in your circles at this time

Our support technicians have found that this happens due to the individual’s activeness for his Google+ account, but in total you can add only 5000 friends.

1. If the Individual has just created his account with Google+, then he can only add few hundred people to his circle in 1 day.

2. If he uses Google+ a lot and adds people to his circle on a daily basis, then there is a limit of 5000 friends.

So, when an active user has added 5000 people to his circle then this error message will be displayed to him, and he won’t be able to add more people to his circle.

If you have less than 5000 Friends in Google Plus, then limitation is for a couple of days, which will automatically get extended by looking at the activeness of that user. So, you need to wait for a couple of days, to add more friends.

We are constantly doing the experiments to find out more solutions of this limitation.

If you have any suggestions/comments for the same, then please write them below.

No Comments on Anna Hazare – Social Activist and Campaigner for India Against Corruption – Brief Story

Kisan Baburao Hazare is a social activist popularly knows as “Anna Hazare”, was born on 15/06/1937, in Bhingar, Bombay Province, British India.

Anna Hazare was awarded the Padma Bhushan (3rd Largest Civilian Award by Government of India), for his contribution towards the development of Ralegan Siddhi Village and making it as a model village.

Prohibition of Alcohol
Grain Bank
Stopping the Sale and use of tobacco products in his village
Removal of untouchability
Spreading the education
Water-shed Development program
Milk production
Amendment of the Gram Sabha Act
Promoting collective marriages
Launching the Right to Information movement in Maharashtra and anti-corruption protests

Anna Hazare - A Brief History Anna Hazare gave his 12 year of honorable service to Indian Army, and after the retirement, he returned Ralegan Siddhi, and took a number of social projects e.g.

Conditions of India went much worse due to the corruption and Black Money (Indian Money Deposited by the Famous Politicians into Banks in Italy and Switzerland). Anna Hazare told that, Corruption has spread in India as never before and that too in just 7 years.

So, Anna Hazare and a few team members of Campaign-India Against Corruption (N. Santosh Hedge – Former Justice of the Supreme Court of India & Lokayukta of Karnataka with Prashant Bhushan – A senior lawyer in the Supreme Court) prepared a draft called Jan Lokpal Bill (People’s Ombudsman Bill), which will provide more power and strict provisions to the Lokpal.

But as the draft got rejected by the Indian National Congress (The Ruling Political Party in India at that time), Anna started an Indefinite Fast at Jantar Mantar stating “I will fast until the Jan Lokpal Bill is passed.”

The Jan-Lokpal movement attracted Media and thousands of people came to support Anna Hazare. The movement was also started in several other countries (like US and UK) in support of Anna Hazare.

After looking at the seriousness of the public, Indian National Congress Government accepted all demands of the movement, and on the very next day they issued a notification to form a joint standing committee, which will work on passing the Jan-Lokpal Bill.

Update (4 Dec 2011) : The standing committee formed by Indian National Congress has prepared a Lokpal bill which is completely different from the original one, what they promised to pass. Anna admitted “The government have betrayed us”. And due to this Anna has decided to start his Indefinite fast again from 27th December. Team Anna has also started a Car Rally in Delhi, as an announcement to his fast.

Hooman told admitted that to make this work possible, he had to hack the N8 smartphone, to turn off the auto-zoom and auto-focus. As per Hooman, the reason for it was, “Phone Camera thinks that it knows what you want to focus on, but in actual it doesn’t know that.”.

The movie budget is estimated to be around $500,000 which has been funded by Chris Kelly (Facebook’s Former Chief Privacy Officer).

No Comments on Mbuntu – The Ubuntu Interface on Symbian

Ubuntu is an open source operating system, which is popularly known as an alternative to Windows.

MBuntu - Putting Ubuntu on Symbian Mobile Phones

Thought Ubuntu can run on low resources, but still it needs at least a 1Ghz processor and comparable RAM, which is not very less to fid in the mobile phone devices.

So for the Ubuntu lovers, MMMOOO has come-up with a mobile Ubuntu interface called MBuntu. Mbuntu is a flash based application launcher, which can run on all flavors of Symbian Operating System. From the ubuntu interface, users can access all core applications of their phone like Phone, Contacts, Bluetooth, Messages, Internet, Music, Videos, USB, Memory Card and all.

Additionally, MBuntu also shows the Wi-Fi status and battery level on the top just like an Android.

However one of the biggest drawback of this application is, we can’t add custom shortcuts to the home screen.

Mbuntu could be downloaded from Ovi store by paying an amount of £3.00. At the time of writing, Mbuntu is compatible with Nokia Eseries (e.g. E71, E63 etc.), Symbian^1 (S60v3) (e.g. N97, 5800, 5230 etc.), , Symbian^3 (e.g. N8) due to which, many phones display Mbuntu differently on their screen.

Note : Our users have reported that Mbuntu isn’t compatible with Nokia C7-00, which is a member of Symbian^3 family.
