As a background, net neutrality refers to guidelines that simply state that users have the power to control the content they view and use on the internet. This guideline has been in use since the Internet was developed but over the years ISPs using their big marketing position have tried to control what users get. In many cases, these firms have discriminated against competing services so that users only get partial versions of the information they actually need to stay informed.

Net neutrality has generated more talk because ISPs want FCC to give them the authority to decide what information gets to users. They want to control the content, the speed at which it reaches you and even at what time.

The question that arises is, how does the ISP determine what the consumer need? How much he needs and even at what tine he needs it? The arguments against the ISP submissions are that, individuals have peculiar needs that cannot be accurately determined in advance. The opponents to this ISP suggestion believe that FCC is simply enforcing a rule that has exited previously and that the ISPs stand no particular disadvantage with the conversion of the guidelines into rules.

By net neutrality, all players in the internet business including phone manufacturers offering competing services to the ISP stand the equal chance of generating sales from their services and products.

How will the service providers respond if these conventions are turned into rules? Will they have to rebrand their products, charge more fees or simply offer consumers what they can afford? The extent to which the rules go will answer all of these questions.

We all are worried about the life threatening risk which mobile radiation cause to human being. However, studies have not yet proved that how much effect does cell phone radiation has on human being, but the same is proved on Honey bees in Kerala , a state in India. It seems the harmful electro magnetic radiations from mobile towers have a potential to kill the worker bees that go out to collect nectar from flowers.

As per the initial test carried out, a plunge in beehive population has been reported from different parts of Kerala and if measures are not taken to check mushrooming of mobile powers, bees could be wiped out from Kerala within a decade, environmentalist and Reader in Zoology, Dr Sainudeen Pattazhy says in his study.

In one of his experiments he found that when a mobile phone was kept near a beehive it resulted in collapse of the colony in five to 10 days, with the worker bees failing to return home, leaving the hives with just queens, eggs and hive-bound immature bees.

Even though this problem is a big one, I wonder there is any solution available for the same. If electromagnetic waves can cause this much rish to honey bees, how much it might affect the humans. I feel its better that to whichever extent possible, avoid the usage of cell phones.

For me , anything which distract your mind or take your eyes off road while driving , let it be Texting or talking over phone, eating , drinking or even listening loud music can be very very dangerous and specially on highways.

The study conducted is as follows :

The Virginia Tech Transportation Institute used cameras to continuously observe light vehicle drivers and truckers for more than 6 million miles. It found that when drivers of heavy trucks texted, their collision risk was 23 times greater than when not texting.

Dialing a cell phone and using or reaching for an electronic device increased risk of collision about 6 times in cars and trucks.

Finally , I hope with such studies and trying to prove already proven facts with numbers, people will take some extra care while driving. At this time, I can only request tecfre.com readers to be drive carefully and minimize the use of cellphone to the extent possible while driving. Happy Driving

Hey its not me who asked this , but this was a question which was asked at Mircosoft Answers !! This guy who is suffering from bad back , and is medically limited on the amount of weight he can carry, asked the Question which is as follows :

Apologies if this is the incorrect area for this question.
I’ve noticed that as I copy data/install programs on my Laptop, the weight of the Laptop increases. I have a bad back and am medically limited on the amount of weight I can carry so I need to be very carefull not to inflict injury upon myself.
I have also noticed my XBox feels heavier as well (the more games I save or purchase from arcade). I generally don’t travel with my XBox so that is not an issue for me, but note the I am having the same results.
My ask, what is the weight/file ratio? So for example, how many GB’s = 6oz? I dread the day I need a dolly to commute to work with my Laptop.
Thanks in advance!

If you visit the link , and you will find guys trying to actually figure out ,whether they misunderstood the question . One user even proved it with algebraic formulas that  weight is INVERSE of the DATA stored. So, the more data you store , the lesser your computer or HDD weighs. WOAHH !! I never knew that, … I think its time to re-weigh my laptop and the harddisk too .

Happy weekend !! and visit the link here !!!
