The Camera Fan

Friday, June 26th, 2009

I guess Limited Visiblity is the term. India is a great country, but unfortunately it is a dirty country as well. How do you seperate the beauty from the dirty? Well, you need digital cameras to do that. You could do it with the antiquated film cameras too, but since you cant really process them digitally with ease, I guess it is not a good alternative to the digital cameras that we have on the markets today.

Travelling and Health

Monday, July 14th, 2008

Travelling could most of the times be synonymous with bad health. Change in weather, drinking water and even the air you breath could bring sickness. And, travelling always makes you tired, and your health could get worse. And when you are travelling, you might be travelling with limited amounts of money, and therefore you will definitely be requiring some travel health insurance, just in case if something goes wrong.

The premiums are fairly low since it would cover your health only during the period of your travelling, and it is recommended that everyone who is travelling get a policy of this sort to be on the safer side.

Why adding RAM makes a computer faster

Monday, April 28th, 2008

The computer, just like a human brain needs to think. As we all have learned in school, we know that the computers have got a lot to do with math. And when we do math, we need some scratch pads (if we aren’t using calculators) for doing some rough work. the RAM or the Random Access Memory is just for that. The RAM is an ultra high speed memory device, volatile unfortunately, and it assists the processor in making the calculations. With a smaller amount of Ram, naturally, the processor will have to work with a smaller sized scratch pad, and the values that it can store parallel is highly reduced. For Example,

Lets say, the computer wants to add 221+221, 1+8, 14+14 and 21+21. The computer is a super fast device that it really doesn’t need any Ram to process the above values, but let us assume these as scaled down values so that its easy on the human brain. A school Kid does math on this like 1+1 = 2, 2+2 = 4, 2+2 = 4, and the total is 224.

A computer can do these calculations one by one if given only limited amount of RAM, or get them done at greater speeds in parallel if given more Ram. Lets say, the first calculation requires 1 MB of RAM, and if the computer has only a 1 MB Ram chip, it will do the first calculation first, then clear the Ram, and then move on to the 2nd calculation. Lets imagine, the computer has 2 MB of Ram, and we will find the computer processing 2 calculations at a time and the total time consumed to have all 4 calculations processed is halved.
