5 Reason Why Google+ is better than Facebook

It's been a year and a half when Google+ appeared in the competition of Social media with an aim to pursue Facebook. Its users never tried to compare it with Facebook in a way that it's going to be the next social giant someday. Google+ was launched at that time when no one was looking for another social platform to share their cats and dogs photos doing funny things. It was an attempt by Google to bring all its products together at one place.

Google never seems to be concerned about whether it's going to tumble down Facebook or not. According to the recent fact and figures plus has more than 400Millions users and it's nowhere close to 1Billion+ users on Facebook. But one thing is for sure, it's going to be a success sooner of later. People started getting bored withFacebook and now they need something new, the new fresh look of Google+ can easily attract an exhausted users from Fb.

Here are 5 reasons why it's better than Facebook.

Fresh New Look

G+ faced a lot of criticism from users in the early days of its development because of its lame look. On 11th April 2012 they announced a fresh look with better navigation, live stream/timeline, hangouts and more. This time it was cool and users loved it. It was way better than the FB timeline that almost half of the FB users criticized.

#Hashtags

Presence of Hashtags on Google+ makes it easier to use, search and look out for what's trending.  You cannot interact socially and discussions can't be made unless you find a cool topic of your choice. Facebook do not support tags, though it allows you to search but only a limited number of posts can be shown in the section of public posts.

Better Query Search and Integration of Google+ in Search Results

This integration helps users to see what information their circles are sharing on G+. You can count it as a suggestion from your friend. The G+ Query search makes it better, you can access a large whole of online data which makes it even more valuable. Facebook is full of people who share lots of informative stuff but it's useless, you can't even access it. Facebook search is a mess because it only shows a bunch of pages with millions of likes.

Circles with More Control over Sharing

Circles on G+ allows you to filter your friends, family and acquaintances. You have better control on what information you will have to share with which circles. Opposite to that, on Facebook you need to hover on every single person in your friends list to filter them as an acquaintance.

Hangouts (Video Chat)

The extremely beneficial service from G+ know as hangouts allow you to add up to 9people at once in a video chat.  There are many great ways you can use these hangouts to interact with your friends. Small, medium and bigger business owners can also use them to interact directly with their customers. Many celebrities already used them to interact with their fans. Overall its way better than the Facebook video call which only works if you have installed Skype on your computer.

Conclusion - There are many other cool things out there on G+, we should not underestimate the power of G+. Those who were complaining about a few number of users on G+ needs to liberate themselves from the congested atmosphere of Facebook and explore a bigger and better G+!

Reasons Why People Started Getting Bored With Facebook

Back in Feburary 2004 when Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerber with the help of his class roommates, it was just an ordinary social site created for the students of Harvard university. The main purpose of its creation was to help students interact with each other at Harvard. The Zuckerberg  group agreed upon lifting up its limited membership which at that time was just for the students of various universities, after that it started spreading all over the world and become an addiction for huge number of internet users. Since then we have seen and heard how successful this site was in engaging millions of users.

The company did a great job in maintaining the site's reputation, they had struggled from the static html pages to the dynamic view timeline which was not a big success. Now after they have come so far, people started getting bored with the giant social media site. There are several reasons, here are some of them.

Forcing Users to adopt Timeline

Rolling out the new interface called timeline and forcing people to adapt it was the first official wrong move made by Facebook. It's something people didn't even liked. Some accidently tucked into the new interface and the rest of them were forced to adapt the new look after a month.

Privacy concerns

In the past few years Facebook have made many changes to their  privacy policy. An ordinary user just can't understand those terms and conditions on which and how Facebook is going to use your private data and sell it to bigger companies. Massive number of users deactivated their accounts and still are worried about it because it's going to be there forever, you can deactivate it temporarily but you cannot remove it permanently.

Millions of Fake Account

Facebook is a handy tool for spammers because you can sign up for dozens of accounts with fake names and fill the about me section with whatever you want. According to the terms and conditions you can only sign up for only one account. According to the official statement, it has 83Million fake accounts.

Zynga Lost the trust of its users

Millions of users play games on Facebook on a daily basis. A huge number of users log into the site only to play games. In the beginning Zynga focused on driving quality but then too many developers came. People started getting bored with the same type and futile strategies of developers. Many users left because of no official support from Zynga. Game bugs and errors are some of the reasons which took away the interest of millions of users from the social giant.

Edge Rank and Promoted Posts

Lately the site has introduced an algorithm to determine the popularity of a page to accommodate a good piece of content on the top of your news feed and its being named as an Edge Rank. They rolled out this new thing to guarantee the success of their promoted posts feature for pages. Page owners are very disappointed with it and are not willing to pay money to reach their own fan base. They put up a block on the 85% audience reach of your posts unless you pay them to do. Smaller and medium sized business owners started looking for better options like Twitter, Tumblr and Google+.

The whole system is broken and it needs to be fixed otherwise it's going to be the same Mypsace story and some other site will going to be the social media giant.

How to Reduce OverHeating Of Laptops | Power Options

Heating is a major problem being faced by the laptop users. Heating may cause irreversible damage to the hardware inside like burning the CPU inside or reducing the overall efficiency, as the time goes on. This tip is very handy especially for the gamers and full time laptop users. Also, if you’re running out of warranty and just can’t replace your system, then this tip holds equally good for you. Buying cooling pads are also a very good option but rectifying the root problem is of no parallel.

Let us take a brief look at this tip. Our aim is to reduce the maximum processor state so that the games or any other activities that is consuming 100% CPU usage can only go to a defined limit, causing lesser heating effect. You can change these limits separately for “on-battery” state and for the “on-dock” state. This also results in efficient use of processor and subsequent battery power conservation

In this tutorial, I will tell you how to reduce the heating issue of your Laptops. This procedure is easy to perform at home without any professional assistance.

Based on experimental facts, it is seen that reducing the processor state by a few notches decreases the temperature by 15-20 degrees of centigrade while the processor’s

performance results in very slight incline. The decrease in processor performance is almost negligible. So by experience I can tell you that 95% processor state is a good number for “on Power” and 85% is a good number for “on Battery” Laptop.

First go to Start>Control Panel.Then go to >Power Options

Now, you should be here.

Then, click on Change plan setting option.

It doesn’t matter which plan you are using. Whether it is Balanced or Power saver, it will work for both the options.

Go to Change advances power settings

Now, scroll down the menu and choose “Processor power management”. Then choose “Maximum processor state” from drop down menu. Change the values as shown in the accompanying picture by inputting from your keyboard.

And you’re DONE.

Barcelona Supercomputing Center | Paving paths For Green Supercomputing

When it comes to high speed computing, super computers are always there to serve. Every new day comes up with improvements in design and speed. Now the Barcelona Supercomputer Center is developing a system with that will be providing us with the highest performance possible remaining in the green limits. Ramirez, a manager with the center, is currently involved in building an innovative supercomputer, called as MONT BLANC that will run from very low-powered chips as being used in tablets and smartphones these days.

This plan will start implementing next month with the assembling of first model of Mont-Blanc that will be bases on NVIDIA’s Tegra3 processors. They have eliminated the use of RISC based or Intel x86- based processors that are hitherto an essential part of almost every supercomputer available in the market. The Tegra3 will act as a communicator between diverse parts of the computer while the true information and number crunching is a task that will be performed by a multicore NVIDIA graphics processor that is consumes very low power too.

Most likely by June, Ramirez has planned to run tests for the extensively tracked TOP 500 Supercomputers, which determines how efficiently the system will achieve a benchmark program known as LINPACK. LINPACK benchmarks measures the supercomputer’s floating point computing capability or more commonly known as FLOPS (Floating-Point Operations per Second). Ramirez also says that he wants to get on the Green500 list which ranks the supercomputers by the order of power efficiency not just performance. He expects that Mont Blanc will get through this all and he foresees it to be in Top10.

Goals For The Inexpensive Solar Cells

The world is facing severe energy crisis and the situation is going to be worst in coming decades. So, Multi-National corporations are trying their level best to devise ways to alleviate the situation. Twin Creeks Technologies, a company that has been operating undisclosed until today, has developed a system that creates thin wafers of crystalline silicon with an aim that it could cut the price of manufacturing silicon based solar cells in half. They have also revealed their technology on a very small scale, 25-MW per Annum generation facility in Senatobia, Mississippi, using solar cells that are built on tiny silicon wafers.

The chief executive officer of Twin Creeks says the enterprise’s technology reduced the quantity of silicon that is needed to manufacture the solar cells. And on the other hand it also cuts the cost of production line machinery. He also says that the company is capable of producing cells that can provide power at 40 cents per Watt. The company has raises roughly $93 million in venture capital. Moreover, Twin Creeks has also acquired loans from the state of Mississippi and some other sources to develop its infrastructure to build these cells.
