Is Engineering in CS/IT the Right Choice for You?

Posted by Unknown, on 3:58 pm
After Class XII, students often have to choose a discipline for their further studies, and one popular choice today is a B.Tech program in Computer Science/Information Technology (CS/IT). 
Though generally offered by Engineering Colleges/Institutes, a program in CS/IT is somewhat different from other Engineering programs, and there is evidence to suggest that some students take to IT much better than others. These students seem to have a “natural ability” for programming, an important element of any IT education program, while other students “have a hard time” with programming.

Samsung Galaxy Y Pocket S5300 : Close Kin of Galaxy Y

Posted by Unknown, on 1:56 am
Samsung are back to basics and they say there's always room for one more in the low end. Especially one that doesn't take too much space. The Galaxy Pocket makes the Galaxy Mini look like it's on steroids and the Y series like a bunch of semi pros.
Life at the bottom of the food chain is far from enjoyable but it can be pretty exciting, and some creatures have figured out how to adapt. They're usually small, fast and good at mimicry. The Galaxy Pocket meets the size requirement, but we'll have to check about the speed. And no, no one will mistake it for a trimmed down S III but some feature phones may be fooled into getting too close.

Nokia is officially changing its naming convention, and they are making it as simple as it was back in the mid-1990s (or even simpler). The Nokia 500 is actually the first product from the new era.
