I turned 25 years old few months back, and am now on the way to hit 26. What a wonderful journey it has been.
The reasons why 25-30 is not a nice age for a man :
- all your ex-desires are getting married
- Your career has just started,
- Elders treat you as unproven theorems,
- College guys feel that you are too old to have in their group
- You seem to enjoy both cartoon and news
- You can no longer eat whatever you wish without putting on weight
- You look like an ape if you don’t shave daily
- You are not invited for weekend…… cricket matches .
- Every Aunty you meet asks “Shaadi kab kar rahe ho beta!!”, while uncles ask “Career ka kya socha hai beta…”When the reality is that you are just riding the wave and going with the flow
- You have all the confidence in the world but little achievements to show
- You know that whatever you have been taught about the world in schools has been sheer waste of time.
- Politics till now was a dirty word but now you feel it everywhere.
- You know now love is not that blind and that friendship has its terms and conditions
- You know there is nothing for granted and free lunches are not free
- Your overconfidence is now making way for a humble conscience
- You now know it is not exactly what we thought it would be! Reality strikes, and it strikes hard!
By the time you get well versed with these emotions, you would already be changing diapers!
No, don’t think I am being pessimistic. It’s just a phase of life where luckily reality has stricken me. And as one of my friends (Prashant) said, be optimistic ! you never know if you might remember this period as a golden era when you turn 30, have a wife, a kid and a decent job but loose the freedom you used to have. Is this optimism or even more pessimism, it amuses me.

So this post is dedicated to explain to them the differences between the two and how much better the n900 and maemo 5 compared to the current apple Iphone and its closed wall practices.
Nokia N900 Vs Iphone 3GS
1. 3.5 inch touch-sensitive Vs 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen
widescreen display Multi-Touch diplay
Resistive screen Capacitative Screen
Resistive screen has the advantage of point accuracy. This is good for hand writing because unlike apple, nokia is a all over the world so it has to cater to differnt popluations and some people espcially the asians prefer hand writing recognition for their myriad languages. But capacitative has the advantage of being more responsive. Although it has its side effects, being that it cannot be used with anything except your bare finger. This is really a pain especially for the North east states of the Us and Northern Europe in the cold climates. You cant navigate well with gloves. Another advantage of capacitative is that multi-touch so it is very useful in games and other actions like pinching etc. As far as i know this is the only advantage of the iphone compared to the n900 and of course the other being the app store. But both of these can be expected in the near future with more developers flocking to maemo due to its open nature.
2. 800 × 480 pixel resolution @ 225 ppi Vs 480-by-320-pixel resolution at 163 ppi
This is one area where the n900 totally burns the iphone. Basically resolution means the number of lines you can see on the screen. For example most of the laptops are about 1280 x 800. Since it is very near to that resolution on the n900 you can view web pages just like on your desktop without much zooming and panning. You just open the web page and read no need to keep on fiddling with the text to read which makes web browsing very comfortable.
3. TV out (PAL/NTSC) with Nokia Video Connectivity Cable Vs None
This is included within the sales package. What you can do with is that you can connect your phone to the tv using those 3(yellow, white and red connectors). Imagine playing games with your accelerometer on the big screen. It is fun. And of course you can directly play the recorded videos, images on the big screen. Here again the higher resolution helps by displaying the video on a bigger size and better clarity on the tv.

It has become one of the first choice languages of web application developers, the go-to language if your website needs something more than what HTML can give you. Over 20 million domains have PHP installed, and it is considered the most popular Apache HTTP Server module by far. Some of the most famous examples of PHP at work are Facebook, Wikipedia, Yahoo!, Digg, Joomla, WordPress, YouTube, and more. PHP has become part of the internet.
1. PHP memory allocation
PHP scripts have a memory allocation attached to them by the server. To stop a PHP script taking up too much processing power, usually an arbitrary Mb usage is allocated. Sometimes this is a hinderance to web developers, so to increase the amount of memory allowed, enter the following line into the php.ini file on the root of your website. If the php.ini doesn’t exist, you can simply create it. You can increase this number if you still need more memory, but you may find an upper limit set by your host.
memory_limit=16M
2. PHP include functions

The are two handy tips for scrolling on web pages using the keyboard. First (and most obvious) is to use the arrows keys. For vertical -user up / down (and when zoomed in) horizontal, use left / right, this give a really nice, smooth scroll action.
The second tip is the full page scroll, hit Space bar and the browser will scroll down one full page.
Shift + Space will scroll up one page.

Back button
