Sun brings Hd to India

sunhd

Sun direct is the first DTH player to bring High Definition to India.

Even thought they are just offering two channels at the moment. It will surely get bigger once others start launching their own system.

You have to buy a new HD capable box and pay for installation charges which means new Dish.

According to their website the HD settop box will be priced around

6200 (HD box) + 2750 (Installation charges) + 1200 (Two HD channel charges) and extra for other channels.

Look forward to paying 10000 Rs to get two HD channels which are in Telugu and Tamil.

I am not rushing out to buy this, i will wait for when Tatasky will bring Hd settop box with recording capabilities.

At the moment i am happy with my Tatasky+ which will cost you same as this. But will give you lot more features.

The Best 16:9 LCD Monitors

dell18inchIf price is your main concern go for the dell monitor or buy the samsung 21 incher.

Supposedly one of the best 18.5″ monitors currently available, this is one Dell monitor that’s not so hard to find unlike its older siblings. Sporting a very modern design, the feature set remains pretty much the same like TN panel with 1366 x 768 resolution, 1000:1 typical contrast ratio, 250cd/m2 brightness, 5ms response time and VGA with tilt adjustability. This is one of their more popular models that should easily be available.

How Tech Companies Got Their Name

companylogo

Here is an interesting article about company names and how they came about. Finally and interesting article worth reading from Techtree.

Jobs was three months late in filing a name for the business, and he threatened to call his company Apple Computers if his colleagues didnt suggest a better name. As you can guess, they didnt come up with anything better and the rest is history. Other theories are that Jobs wanted his company to feature before Atari in the phone book, while yet another suggestion is that it was a tribute to Apple Records, which was the music label of the Beatles.
