The Unbelievable Invention........

          The concept of the first ZIIIRO Watch is a clock face without hands or markings, but a constantly changing pattern of rings indicating the passing of time. The main theme is minimalism, so there are no distracting elements in the design, and after a short time you will acquire a feel for reading the time.


Hope this will get to us soon..... :)







Intel ready to buy McAfee....


         Intel has finally agreed to buy one of the popular security software called McAfee. Without a doubt they are ready to buy it for $7.68 billion that shocked many over the internet.Intel says this transaction will be successful in time, they also say they will jump to the McAfee and do their best for the company.They would like it to become the best in few years and to take over the big-name security software’s.


  • This worries other companies about the deal; no one ever noticed this before. Most famous companies will now have a look out for Intel for reaching high standards. This is a touching deal for the security software industry, who will know what Intel can do in the incoming years of McAfee.
  • Most industry observers say this will affect the competitors in antivirus software, so everyone will do what they can do remain the same. Surely they will be some settlements between the antivirus companies if McAfee has increased in usage by computer users.
  • This is advantage for store owners to sell the McAfee as soon as Intel make changes to it and upgrade it to its highest ever. A lot of people will be aware and this can increase in sales for the shop owners.
  • McAfee was founded in the year 1987, it is best known for its software. It has struggled as years passed because of management changes. 
  • However, the operations have improved by far under David DeWalk that became the top for CEO in 2007. He has recently published some mobile security providers which people nowadays are taking a look.

Google posted record Q2 earnings, activates 550K Adroids a day


            Google have just announced substantial numbers on their earnings call. They’ve top on earnings as usual, but the most interesting is Android is growing in a rate of 550 thousands devices gets activated daily, which is crazily relentless if you know that few weeks back it was 500 thousands. 
  • The  total number of Android devices has reached to 135 million and at this fast rate we can easily predict that it’ll surpass 200 million milestone by the end of this year. 
  • The activation is cross over 400 different Android devices is out there making a rise close to 5 percent of daily activations for this quarter.


  • Accordingly, in a GSMArena report, we totally agree that there might be miscalculations on the number of apps downloaded versus the present numbers of Android devices.
  •  “The number of apps accessible by droids in the Market has reached 250,000 and the Market has handled 6 billion app downloads so far (a 4.5 billion number was reported just a few weeks ago, so either one number is wrong or the download rate is humongous).
  • That makes for 44-45 app downloads per device on average. And that’s a lot – really sounds unbelievable.”
  • If Android have seen skyrocketed growth which positively contribute to Google overall, the internet giant 2nd quarter is truly outstanding where it posted revenue of $9.03 billion which is 32% increase compared to Q2 of last year.
  •  “Operating income for the second quarter of this year about a third of revenue, $2.88 billion, and net income was $2.51 billion (up from $1.84 billion in Q2 of 2010).”
