Nexus One;The phone that got closest to beating the record of the Legendary IPhone.

Competition is what pushes giants like Google,Microsoft, and Apple to their very limit.Competion and ego are what present us with marvels like IPhone and Google phone.

Back in 2007, when Apple bedazzled everyone with its sexy Iphone, companies like Google frantically started working to make a miracle of their own.And thus started the war of Android smartphones.

On January 6th, Google unleashed its own slinky, sexy, and smart phone- Nexus One a.k.a Google Phone.Nexus One is powered by Android 2.1 operating system, it features 3.7’’ AMOLED screen, 1Ghz Snapdragon processor with 512mb of Ram and 5 megapixels autofocus camera with flash to go with it.Yes, you heard it right, 512 mb of RAM and an autofocus camera of 5 megapixel!

Unlocked version of Nexus One will go on sale for US $529.99, and the one locked with T-Mobile for 2 years contract will cost US $179.99. The CDMA version of the phone will be arriving on Verizon Wireless in Spring 2010. More on Nexus One availability and price plan can be found here.

But,unfortunately, the Nexus One could not beat the Iphone. Iphone still is considered as the best smartphone ever.Yes, the phone is faster and looks more stylish when compared to other Android based handsets available today. But it is nothing revolutionary, neither does it bring anything new to the table. The fact that it doesn’t support multitouch functionality doesn’t help its cause. In my opinion, Nexus One, like all others, is still trying to catch up on the original iPhone which was released back in 2007.

Bermuda Triangle: The Devil's Lair

Many people argue, that it doesn't exist. And, you won't find it in any map.The U. S. Board of Geographic Names does not recognize the Bermuda Triangle and does not maintain an official file on it.

Criss Angel Mindfreak: The Wizard of AXN

I'm pretty sure most of us is familiar with Criss Angel, and with good reasons.He is an American illusionist,magician, escapologist and stunt performer. Note that I wrote illusionist first, cause that's what Criss likes to think of himself. His show, Criss Angel Mindfreak, is broad casted on AXN on Wednesdays, at 16:30 GMT. Believe me, his illusions are mindblowing, and apparently impossible! But that's what Criss is best at;making the impossible seem normal! Allow me to give an example. Criss Angel has set himself the target of walking across Lake Mead,the largest lake in US. And he does succeed.He walks on water for about 200 yards.Now, remember people, its a lake.So it rules put any theories of plexiglass pillars.Moreover, Criss, at the end of his walk, start to sink under the water, eventually disappearing completely! The illusion is simply awesome, and many critics have failed to provide an explanation for this! One explanation says " He had completed construction...

Dream or Reality: Which one should we chase?

Dreams and reality are like the Yin-Yang. Opposite, but intertwined. You will find them mutually inclusive in extreme rare cases of extremely fortunate people. But, for normal people like us, we have to sacrifice one to get the other. Why, you ask? Picture your dream; where do you see yourself? Relaxing in a beach in the Bahamas with a cold drink in hand, with the gentle breeze caressing your tanned fit body? Now imagine the cost of such a vacation and all the other horrendous logistics that go with such a vacation. You get what I’m getting at? So, which one should we give more priority to? Should we open our mind gates and dream the wildest of our dreams? Or should we force our brain to be calculative and practical? After all, be practical and rational will pay your bills. Being an IBAite, I can give a firsthand run down of my experience regarding this issue. Let me start saying that I’m a science person. From a very tender age, I dreamt of wearing a dazzling white lab...
