I was always into low level C/C++ stuff and most of my career I wrote desktop and server applications but during my college years, I remember I made decent amount of money by doing websites/applications for different customers.

DSLR vs Mirrorless
Until now, I used a Nikon D3000 DSLR for my amateur photographic needs. It's a great entry level device, easy handling, not too bulky, but bulky enough to make me look for a smaller device. After reading tons of reviews I decided to try out a Sony A5000 mirrorless camera. This camera is fairly cheap, … Continue reading DSLR vs Mirrorless

It's sad that after all these years people compares the latest Linux or OSX versions with Windows 95 and they actually believe that this is a fair comparison. The most annoying "bashers" are the teachers who are simply immature and unprofessional! Somebody who is in a position … Continue reading Why do many people insist on bashing Microsoft and Windows

Google New UI
Apparently Google is testing its new UI design for the search engine. I don't necessarily hate it but I don't like it either. Shadows everywhere! I am not a fan of 3D designs, I think that flat is much better. 3D cards looks decent on mobile devices but really crappy on browsers. I think they should stick with … Continue reading Google New UI

Windows Phone 8.1 roaming issues
This year I bought a Nokia Lumia 620 in spite of the fact that everybody told me that is not the best idea. The thing is that they are wrong, the phone actually works perfectly for the price and Windows Phone 8.1 is not a bad OS.
