Google : Introducing Google Pixel

Just came across the ad of this wonderful phone named Google Pixel. Google seems all set for a revolution, after introducing their first phone. All that is left for them is to launch a laptop/palmtop version to compete with Apple. This is in addition to the dominance in the web search department where Apple doesn't exist. If Google is able to succeed in the mobile market that would pave way to attempt forays into other new departments. I am sure innovation is underway at the Google HQ as we speak. I have always been a fan of the Google based Android backed smartphones. These phones now form over 80% of all smartphones in the market.

As it can be clearly observed, the Android has grown over the years overthrowing all the other existing operating systems. In fact one of the main reasons for the decline of Nokia, which was the best phone maker in the world. The inability to adapt to newer technology. They stuck too long with the Symbian OS hoping it would succeed only to realise that they had been wiped out from the market. As their CEO once said "We didn't do anything wrong but somehow we lost".

So coming back to the new phone introduced by Google, the Pixel. Here are some of the specifications:

If you visit the official Pixel website, some of the key features listed are:

1. Google Assistant built in
2. The highest rated smartphone camera. Ever. (12.3MP shooter)
3. Seamless Glass Aluminium body
4. Switch from your previous phone in 3 easy steps - Connect, Sign In and Transfer
5. Two sizes, Two colours. It comes in both black and white variants

One of the best things about the android devices released by Moto in India is that they provide a bang for the buck. Extremely price efficient with features which that can be compared with even the top devices in the market. I started using Google phones with its Nexus 5 smartphone which was an absolute delight. Post this I moved to Moto and I am using it till date. This is testament to the fact that these are some of the best VFM phones in the market today. Whether Pixel would be able to compete with the likes of Google remains to be seen. Let us wait and watch.

Decision Sciences - Post 1

#ShortPost - will cover it all over a period of time With the increasing importance of data in making decisions, let us look at some of the data related terms used in statistics which can help you make data driven decisions. Types of variables: Two important types of variables which should not leave you stunned are: Categorical (or nominal) variables Ordinal variables Categorical:  A categorical variable (sometimes called a nominal variable) is one that has two or more categories, but there is no intrinsic ordering to the categories. Ordinal: An ordinal variable is similar to a categorical variable.  The difference between the two is that there is a clear ordering of the variables.  Interval: An interval variable is similar to an ordinal variable, except that the intervals between the values of the interval variable are equally spaced.  Check the following link for more details: http://stats.idre.ucla.edu/other/mult-pkg/w...

Telangana: Do or Don't

I write this just a few minutes after a discussion with my team at work. Well it was a heated as well as a humorous debate but I was just a silent spectator as mostly Andhra guys were speaking and for the record, we had people belonging to Seemandhra(Non Telangana) and Telangana side as well. My honest opinion in this issue is that a state should not be divided. I have not done a detailed research about this topic so far. Today I heard some claims that Telangana people have been deprived of many resources and opportunities for a long period of time. If that is the case then a lot more has to be understood by myself before I pass a statement on this issue. However my general stand that a state should not be divided remains firm. What is this issue all about? Why did it come up for discussion today? The basic reason is the fact that, today in all leading national newspapers, the headline is: To quote Times of India: " Protest continues; trains, airports, hospital services...

How Flickr Did It Right

First of all, I would like to thank Chris Brogan for giving bloggers like me something to write about. Yes. In his blog he has given a list of 100 topics which he hopes that bloggers write about. In his blog he has clearly explained how some people approach him and ask about how he manages to get topics to blog about each day. He has explained how his situation is quite the opposite as for him, he has too much to write about. Not boring you anymore with my reporting. "He said, He hopes, He explained" Ok no more. So one of the topics I got from that list was: "How Flickr Did It Right" There were  a variety of topics to choose from but I chose this because I wanted to do some research before writing. Let me be honest here. At this moment when I start writing I have no clue what it is. Yes I do know its part of the popular new generation networking band wagon and that it has something to do with sharing. Maybe pics or reports or articles. I donno. In fact, I dou...
