Mobile app development and cost prospective

The mobile app development prospective and cost’s are of a different approach, when compared to traditional application development like the desktop or the website apps. Mobile app development can be split into 3 categories. B2C(Business to Customers), B2B(Business to Business), I2C(Individuals to Customers). I think, the 90% leads generated  to the developers are generated from Individual’s(I2C), who aim/desire/ambition to do some app on own, but most of them lack the basic skills like planning, programming & investing etc..

Traditionally, they think, it can be developed just like developing a low-end website. Most of them have a fixed budget in mind …

Why LIC is also behaving like private insurance company

 

Recently, my 133-30 triple risk cover policy with LIC,enrolled in the year 2001 came to a lapse intimation(But lapsed). When I checked, I found 6 months/2 quarterly payments were not transferred from bank account for due date issues. Which led to the lapse intimation letter. I was shocked! The next day, I visited the branch and raised the issue with Chennai Divisional Office II,  Assistant Administrative Officer. The strong question I raised was…Why LIC is also behaving like private insurance company?   I had to presume that LIC too trying to vandalize policy holders and avoid claims.

Finally, they …

National ID, Aadhaar, Smart cards still a buzz word in India

 


http://www.prisonplanet.com/archives/realid/

Smart Cards, National ID & EMV Cards (Euro Master Visa)  have been a buzz word in India for more than a decade now. But in terms of projects and implementation. These technologies have a history of failures. There have been many business cases, where many  investors  have burnt their fingers. Including the big dream of National ID project.

But the failures are not because of the technology!. But the technical standards, specifications, budget allocation and implementation policies by governments. When many developing countries have successfully implemented National ID based on Smart Cards. Here the dream Indian National ID …

Maruti True Value pre-check inspection and reliability

After moving my home to Chennai in 2010, I had to sell my MUV vehicle Toyota Qualis. It was a reliable and the best vehicle for sub-urban town. It almost ran 1,40,000 KM since 2004. But, considering city roads, wear & tear. I had sold the car. Deciding on my next personal car was a challenging task, it was a mind disturbing experience. Whether to go for a small car or sedan? Petrol or Diesel? New or old etc?
Following Robert allen’s book “Creating Wealth”. I am very clear in one policy, that invest only on assets, which gives you

Cloud vs Web hosting

New technologies are the choice of what is today and what is expected tomorrow!. The recent buzz word in Information Technology industry is “Cloud”.  I tried learn little bit about cloud computing and to know what is the buzz behind?. The two famous cloud providers, I came to know is Amazon Cloud & Microsoft Azure. I attended both of their introduction seminars that happened in Chennai. Also tested their cloud services.  But, it keeps asking me…what is cloud computing and why cloud computing. Exactly which existing services/products it is expected to replace?

This will be a challenging question for every

7 ஆம் அறிவு யாருக்கு வேண்டும்?

மனிதனுக்கு 7-ஆவது அறிவு மிகவும் முக்கியம் என்பது என்னுடைய தனிப்பட்ட கருத்து, பொதுவாக இன்றைய மனிதர்கள் நிறைய பேருக்கு 6-வது அறிவே இல்லாமல் இருக்கும் பொழுது அதற்கு அடுத்த அறிவை பற்றிப் பேசுவது மிகவும் கடினமான ஒரு விடயம். கொஞ்சம் ஓவர்ன்னு சொல்லலாம்.

தொழில்துறை, சொகுசு வாழ்க்கை வளர்ச்சியில், நாம் நம் வாழ்விற்கு ஆதாரமான இயற்கையையே வழித்தடம் இல்லாமல் அழித்து கொண்டு வருகிறோம். நம்ம பயன்படுத்துற  தண்ணீர், காற்று, நில வளம்(கனிம வளம்), எண்ணெய் வளம்,  ஆகாயம் என எதையும் விட்டு வைக்காம முடிந்த அளவிற்கு எல்லாத்தையும் அழிச்சிட்டு, இனி வேண்டாம்  என்கிற குறிக்கோளுடன்  கலாச்சாரத்தை வளர்த்து வருகிறோம்.(இயற்கைதாங்க 7-ஆவது அறிவு)

சரி இப்படி ஒரு புறம் இருக்க, தினசரி வாழ்க்கையில் எந்த அறிவை நாம் அதிகமாக பயன்படுத்துகிறோம் என்பதும் கேள்விக்குறியாக மாறிக்கொண்டு இருக்கிறது.  சமுதாய மற்றும் கலாச்சாரம் பற்றிய பயம் சற்றும் இல்லாமல் இளைய சமுதாயத்தினர் வளர்ந்து கொண்டு …

UGC Seminar paper on UN Reform Issues and Challenges TNDLU

The UN system flourished during and after the world wars, the purpose of the UN system was drafted by none other than those special countries, who were fully engaged in war. Not alone the war, the losses and infrastructure damage they saw on their eyes. Ignited their consciousness &  the ground reality statistics, which forced them to draft the international co-operation system and accept the earlier charters. Finally UN proposal came up from the same leaders who were very active in the war fields, leaders of powerful nations.

This had a special interest to safeguard each other interests on self …

Samacheer Tamil books are now in iPad, as iPad apps.

Mobile Number Portability, Moved from Vodafone to BSNL

Recent months my mobile(iPhone 4) had a signal coverage problem. Reported to Vodafone service team about the coverage issue in Prince Towers, Nungambakkam. After a study, vodafone service team admitted that there is a signal problem and it cannot be solved right now. May be internal reasons.

MNP, Mobile Number Portability came to my mind.  I immediately wanted to change the service provider & retain the mobile number. Between the options of Airtel & BSNL. I  decided on BSNL, Because with Airtel I had a worst and disturbing experience on both Landline & Mobile connections in the past.

Well, availing
