Marie Curie
Scientific
work must not be considered from the point of view of the direct
usefulness of it. It must be done for itself, for the beauty of science,
and then there is always the chance that a scientific discovery may
become like the radium, a benefit

Drawbacks of Nokia X7
Nokia X7 is one of the best smart phone of Nokia. I has a 4" screen good enough for video and gaming, having good sound stereo system. 680 MHz processor which provides a good speed and 8 MP camera for best photo result. along with it qualities it has also some drawbacks.
- Symbian Anna is still behind Android and iOS in terms of user experience. Belle should come along soon though.
- No front facing camera for video calls
- The volume rocker is a bit uncomfortable
- The EDoF camera is basically fixed focus
- The SIM tray and microSD card slot are clearly designed by Dr Evil
Disadvanteges of Science and Technology
We
live in a world ruled by fictions of every kind -- mass merchandising,
advertising, politics conducted as a branch of advertising, the instant
translation of science and technology into popular imagery, the
increasing blurring and intermingling of identities within the realm of
consumer goods, the preempting of any free or original imaginative
response to experience by the television screen. We live inside an
enormous novel. For the writer in particular it is less and less
necessary for him to invent the fictional content of his novel. The
fiction is already there. The writer's task is to invent the reality.

Samsung Galaxy S4
Galaxy S4
At last Samsung announce to launch its latest model Samsung
Galaxy S4. The launching ceremony was at New York’s Radio City Music Hall on
Thursday Evening. Before S4 the Samsung’s S3 was one the most popular smart
phone in the market. 400 millions sets have been sold so far.
The Samsung S4 has a unique quality of taking 2 pictures at
a time through its cameras. It has a 13 megapixel back camera and a 2 Megapixel
at front. Galaxy S4 is better in field of hardware as well as software. The
Galaxy S4 measures 5.38 by 2.75 by 0.31 inches (HWD) and weighs 4.59 ounces,
which puts it at the same height but a few hundredths of an inch thinner and
two tenths of an ounce lighter than the Galaxy S III. Both phones are
made up of plastic except the screen.
Galaxy S4 can even adjust color temperature automatically
depending on the content it's currently displaying. Underneath the
Galaxy S4's screen is a quad-core 1.9GHz and it is most likely going to be
considerably faster than the Galaxy S III's dual-core 1.5-GHz Qualcomm S4.
Networking-wise, it's a toss-up: the Galaxy S III and S4 feature the same
high-speed 4G LTE and/or HSPA+ 42 radios, depending on the carrier, plus NFC,
Bluetooth 4.0, and MHL. The S4 adds 802.11a/b/g/n/ac support, instead of just
802.11b/g/n, but otherwise it's a wash there.
