Infographic: What could you do if you owned every tablet in the world?

Gadget fans around the world are buying up tablet computers at an ever-increasing rate, and Indian consumers are no exception.

Approximately 32,000,000 tablets have been sold worldwide to date. From October 2010 to June 2011, 8,000 were sold every day in India alone, with 46% of these sold by Samsung, 21% by BlackBerry, 18% by Apple, with the rest of the numbers made up by smaller tablet manufacturers. Computer Market Research (CMR) estimates that Indian consumers will buy 85,000 tablet PCs in 2012, rising to 23.4 million in 2017 as sales are expect to double yearly.

With a size and weight somewhere between laptops and smartphones, they provide the ideal combination of portability and usability. Their larger size and high-quality graphics makes them ideal for playing games, reading books and news,  and watching videos. As well as consumers, they have also been extremely popular in the business world. Their uses in the workplace include attorneys responding to clients, medical professionals accessing health records during patient exams, and managers approving employee requests. Tablet computers received an immediately positive reception upon their release - the Apple iPod caused pandemonium, with thousands of fans queuing up outside stores to purchase their own.

Tablet computers' popularity has been aided in part by the rise in low cost tablets like the Aakash, which makes tablets accessible to everyone - research shows that tablets costing under 10,000 Rs are the most popular in India. Compared with the smartphone BlackBerry Bold 9790, Datawind's Aakash seems a very reasonable - it's priced at just 2,500 Rs for a device with the full functionality of a tablet computer, compared with the BlackBerry Bold price of over 20,000 Rs.

The below infographic demonstrates helps you to visualise what it would look like if you owned all of these 32,000,000 tablets.

3 Ways to Prepare Your Blog for Christmas

                                  

Christmas is a time of celebration, everybody knows that. And everywhere you visit around the world, both offline and online, only remind you of it. And we must agree that Christmas also has its effect on us bloggers. If you are a blogger who schedules 5 to 10 articles for your blog on normal days, I bet you’ll only be able to do half of that now. And going this way can only reduce the traffic and rankings of your blog, if you can’t find something to do. 

   
   
   

Given, you can’t blot out yourself from the merry and celebrations going around just because you want to focus your attention on your blog and on the other hand, you can’t leave your blog to die for the sake of Christmas. There has to be a way to do things without making one suffer for the sake of the other. And this is when the tips I’ll be sharing in this article become relevant. 

Start Generating Ideas When you Have the Chance 

Generating ideas for your future blog posts is one of the best ways to prepare your blog for this Christmas. If you are the type that writes quality articles for your blog every day, you’ll want to agree with me that when you have ideas for the article you want to write for your blog, half of your work is done!

So if you are only left with half of the amount of time you usually had, having your post ideas ready can help you maximize your time and also help you keep your blog going.

At least, I have more than twenty post ideas for my diamond international discounts and allurez coupon blog which I plan to use during the Christmas.

Schedule Your Blog Posts Ahead 

Another great way to make sure your blog stays afloat during this festive period is by scheduling your articles for the days you know you won’t have the opportunity to write any. If there is any better way to do this, it is by making yourself write more articles than you initially do now. If you always write two articles before, you can write four and schedule the other two to publish on a later day, advisable on a very busy day.

And if doing this is going to be stiff for you, you may have to consider doing what I’m sharing below.

Hire Writers or Request for Guest Posts 

Hiring writers can be a bit expensive but it’s worth it when you consider the benefit you are going to derive from it. When you’ll be busy with your friends during Christmas, your writers can be writing blog posts for your blog without you having to do the job yourself.

If your budget will not allow you to hire writers, you can do it in a simpler way, by asking people to write for you as guest authors. Many people will be willing to give you an article for free in exchange for a backlink on your blog.

Kindle Fire Per Week.However the Amazon has never released specific sales

figures for the Kindle Fire.The announcement came on Thursday in a press release

and after the press release Amazon shares rose by 1.5 percent.

“Kindle Fire is the most successful product we’ve ever launched – it’s the

bestselling product across all of Amazon for 11 straight weeks, we’ve already

sold millions of units, and we’re building millions more to meet the high

demand. In fact, demand is accelerating – Kindle Fire sales increased week over

week for each of the past three weeks. People are buying Kindle Fire because

it's a simple, fully-integrated service that makes it easy to do the things they

love – watch movies, read books and magazines, listen to music, download apps,

play games, and surf the web,” said Dave Limp, Vice President, Amazon Kindle.

“Our family of Kindle e-ink readers are close behind Kindle Fire on the

Amazon.com bestseller list. Customers continue to report preferring their Kindle

e-reader for long-form reading, and in fact we’ve seen many customers buy two

Kindles – both a Kindle Fire and a Kindle or Kindle Touch – this holiday

season.”

These figures are more than awesome for Amazon as kindle fire is only available

Aside the SEO benefit your blog is going to derive from your doing guest post for your blog, you are also going to gain new set of audience to your blog which is a very rewarding thing.
If you can work towards doing up to five guest posts to your blog every month, you are sure going to make your blog grow rapidly.

Blog Commenting

Blog commenting, though it looks obvious, is still very effective in building backlinks to a blog only if done the right way. Many bloggers when doing blog commenting do not even bother to confirm that the blogs they are commenting on is a “do-follow” comment enabled blog. You have to know that it’s not the quantity of comments you make that determines the quality of rankings your blog is going to get but the quality.
Another important thing you should always take note of before commenting on a blog is to read the article and make sure you understand the content before commenting on it. You might be surprised to find out that your comment may be deleted if you did not read the content of that blog before commenting on it.


Link Exchange

Link exchange is one of the most utilized ways of building backlinks to blogs. It is well used but still very effective. If you don’t understand the concept of link exchange, it involves you allowing a blogger to have a link of is blog on your own blog while he also reciprocates the same for you.
Though link exchange has been argued to be a wrong method of doing backlinks, it is still very effective and helps bloggers exchange audiences. It also improves your search engine rankings. If you could manage to exchange links with over ten bloggers, that literarily means you have ten links pointing to your blog.

Conclusion:

The backlink building methods I have shared with you in this post are only going to work you if you follow the rules binding them. Building backlinks is not a bad idea, it can help you grow you blog significantly.

Top 10 Video Game Soundtracks

Love video games so much that you find yourself humming your favorite game’s music?  There’s a cure for that.  With many games intentionally putting more effort into their soundtrack, it is no surprise that this part of gaming has grown so much.  In fact, there is even a special category for it at the Video Game Awards.  If you’re still not convinced that video game music is more than meets the ear, check out these top ten video game soundtracks.  

     

    



1.Grand Theft Auto: Vice City - Love 80’s music?  It doesn’t matter.  This collection of songs from the game where you get to steal cars and listen to radio stations that play the hits of the eighties, as well as hilarious entries in talk radio, is one of the best-selling video game soundtracks of all time.  The box set includes all seven radio stations, with entries for everyone from hip hop to soft rock and even Latin music.  



2.DJ Hero – This video game literally has players spinning incredible music.  The soundtrack to the game includes favorites from artists such as Grandmaster Flash, DJ Jazzy Jeff, and DJ AM.  It even won a Video Game Award for Best Soundtrack in 2010.



3.Rock Band – Is rock music more your thing?  Then you won’t be disappointed at the soundtrack to this video game.  It has songs dating back to the seventies by Boston and the Ramones, along with new entries by the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Queens of the Stone Age.  There are also classics from Nirvana and the Beastie Boys.



4.Guitar Hero – Not to be outdone, there is plenty of great music on these soundtracks for the rock or guitar lover. The soundtrack from Guitar Hero II is the most popular and includes entries from every band from Aerosmith to Van Halen.


5.Castlevania: Symphony of the Night – This video game has players battling in a Dracula-esque type setting.  However, for its haunting tunes, the soundtrack often stands out as a must hear for both lovers of video game music and symphonic melodies. 


6.Legend of Zelda – In another entry in symphonic music, the soundtracks to Zelda games often include memorable melodies.  One of the most popular is from The Ocarina of Time, which centers around a flute like instrument.


7.Bioshock – The soundtrack to this game was so popular, it won the award in 2007 for Best Soundtrack at the Video Game Awards.  Featuring instrumental music exclusively from the game, it beat out games such as Tony Hawk and Guitar Hero III.

8.Nier – For videogame soundtracks in Japanese, this one is hard to beat.  It is often described as one of the most memorable parts of the game and was developed specifically for it.


9.Kingdom Hearts – Looking for video game music for kids?  Then check out this soundtrack from the creators of this Disney-themed game.  Kids of all ages will appreciate the songs just for them.


10.London Philharmonic Orchestra – Believe it or not, video game soundtracks are so popular, this world class orchestra takes them on in a CD entitled “Greatest Video Game Music.”  There are themes from video games such as Call of Duty, Super Mario Bros, and even Angry Birds.

too see that twitter has made some changes to its user interface which looks

better than previous one.

in which you can see your Friends activity.The activity tab includes Favorites,

follows, retweets, and more by people you follow.Many of us thinks that the

Retweet tab is replaced by activity tab which is wrong in the sense that you can

now view your tweets that were retweeted and more in @username tab.

listed you recently.
