Issues in Windows OS and lack of availability for locking browsers

I have been using windows laptop for my office work and strangely I was not able to lock certain actions or password protect applications. To detail further, following are my expectations on my windows laptop and shortcomings in each of those actions. 

• Locking browser: I wanted the browser to be locked for my employees and should be opened only when they enter password or authenticated only for specific employees. However, there are many applications available for windows and most of those applications are termed as EXE locker and lock when those applications are executed. The browser will not work like normal applications and the moment when EXE file is locked, the browser will get stuck and will not work, as it used to work. Only when the application is completely reinstalled or EXE locker is removed, the browser would work normally. 
• Locking extensions/add-ons in browsers: There are ton of add-ons or extensions available for all browsers, promising to lock the browser at start-up or would lock specific URL with defined passwords. However, post installation most add-ons or browser extensions does not work and often gets crashed or does not serve the promised purpose. The most frustrating part is, these browser extensions or add-ons are still available in the respective browsers with high ratings, even though they do not work as detailed. 

Hope one day, a developer or even windows in-built functionality allows users to lock the browsers with passwords or passcode before start-up and it was my most sought after feature for my employees. For more such articles, please feel free to check out the articles published in "G R Team Sites"

Indian Apple music lovers were left in lurch with no update

In recent Apple WWDC held on June 2021, Apple had announced launch of Dolby Atmos support for entire music catalogue available in Apple Music. Few hours after the launch, most users across globe have started posting update on availability of Dolby Atmos features in their Apple Music catalogue. However, users in India have started to post their comments, that even though they had both Apple subscription and latest software update, they were unable to get exclusive Dolby features in their catalogue. The users understand that is may take some for rolling out the features across globe and hope it would be available sooner than later. The delay in availability of Dolby features for Indian users is a real shocker and it impacts Apple brand in the country. India being a market potential country for Apple, they should have released the features to users while it was rolled out across globe out if they had legal obstruction in releasing the feature, it should have provided at least update to its loyal users. The deleted feature update to Indian users and not a single new update about the delay would impact its brand value in the country. For more such blog posts, please feel free to check out the G R Team Sites.  

My Apple Watch predictions for 2021

I was following apple’s launch events and products for a long time, with recent announcements, I was expecting few products update from Apple. Especially on Apple Watch, here are my expectations for Apple Watch.

• All modern design: Apple Watch was not redesigned for a long time, so it was due for redesign since launch and the old design seems to be consistent across versions. 
• Exclusive features for Watch 7: With design being same for all version of Apple watches, the time has come to have exclusive features for top end version of Apple Watch 7. This exclusive feature will be coupled with new redesign. 
• Change in pricing: By launching Watch SE, Apple has made a statement that it is eyeing market share of low-priced wearable devices. So, in the upcoming version of Apple Watch, Apple will keep the same old design for its low-priced device and keep the features unchanged with only minor additions. 
• New band designs: Apple wants to evolve its wearable design market and with people are sticking with Apple Watch for a long time, new bands with exclusive design will add additional source of income. So, Apple is likely to bring in new bands with exclusive designs and style options.

Stupid enough to use two laptops

To summarize, I wanted to narrate my experience during Chennai rains at 2015 and how stupid I have been by using two laptops. Since I had no office during the first day of heavy rains, I opened up my MacBook Pro and started to stream YouTube videos to my TV’s chrome-cast. The maid came late at around 10 AM and as usual she cleaned up the home, washed used dishes and made rice and left for the day. During her work at my home, we were discussing how horrible the rain was and hoping it would end within few hours and everything would be normal by tomorrow morning. Now I was all alone at my home, my parents were at native and I used to stay alone at my Chennai home. Maid left at around 10:30 AM and I asked her to be safe as the rains are getting heavier as each hour passes by. I was enjoying my leisure time at my home watching some random YouTube videos casting from my MacBook Pro to TV. Now started the most horrendous task ahead, the electricity went off by 11:30 AM and I was still using two laptops. Continue reading at “G R Team Sites”

Information for Robot Teacher

Robot teacher calls roll, smiles and scolds, drawing laughter from students with her eerily lifelike face. But the Japanese developer says it is not just about to replace human instructor. Unlike more mechanical looking robots like Honda's Asimo, the robot teacher, called saya, can express six basic emotions-surprise, fear, disgust, anger, happiness, sadness-because its rubber skin is being pulled from the back with motors and writing around the eyes and the mouth.

In a demonstration, the robot's mouth popped open, its eyes widened and eyebrows arched to appear surprised.

Wheels of Fire

Move over sport bikes and fancy cars, jeep, the oldest SUV ever has caught the fancy of my city youngsters who love the "liberating" feeling that this 4x4 empowers them with. Armed with a sense of adventure and a gateway spirit, these youngsters have taken to hopping onto their jeeps to head on fun road trips on weekends. some youngsters who grew up with their jeeps don't want to switch over to any other vehicle, as they make any holiday adventurous.

My Family had a lot of jeeps. so, i have been driving them for the last 10 years. In fact, all the jeep lovers in the city have formed a local chapter of a national group called jeep thrills that organises 4x4 events every three to four months in my city, apart from smaller adventure trips and "off-the-road" trips to hill stations. But the ride is not all that easy. Buying and maintaining a jeep is a risky investment. "The Norm is that you never buy a jeep, you only build one. You can keep modifying it to suit your needs. But, it is worth it, considering the thrill that it gives you".

Adventure-laden getaway trips on the jeep, beats whizzing around the city in a snazzy car, feel Youngsters !

Photographic Exposure

'Correct exposure' is what we have when a photograph looks right-not too dark and dense, not washed out, pale and grey-and the details look bright and clear. But correct exposure is almost always a compromise. Films can handle only a limited range of brightness, which is why the best results are obtained in hazy lightning rather than in harsh sunlight. There are frequent occasions when a photographer must decide whether to expose for the highlights or for the shadows. When there is even lighting from all over the scene the problem of which part to expose for does not arise. The range of contrast falls within that which film can handle, so that highlights and shadows alike are full of detail. The better we understand light the more accurately can we visualize how our finished picture will look. Severe underexposure, for instance, will cause dense black in our pictures. We might get this when photographing a cottage in sunshine with the door open: the interior will be very dark. The blackness is caused by absence, or insufficiency, of light beyond the open door. And even though our eye may perceive details inside, if nothing is bright enough to record on our film everything beyond the door will go black.

Increase Productivity with a Computer Headset

One of the easiest ways to increase productivity in the office is with a Computer Headset, and choosing a wireless Computer Headset opens things up even more. Put it simply, these headsets allow you to talk on the telephone whilst still going about other daily tasks, you can speak, move around, organize your desk, search computer files, do a spot of typing, search through a filing cabinet, go to the drinks machine – you can do anything you want which requires two hands whilst speaking on the telephone if you don’t have to hold it to your ear with 50% of your “handpower” – one hand.

Many professionals in offices around Australia could not manage half of their daily workload these days without their trusty Computer Headset – they allow them to carry on important business conversations whilst still working on their computer – you don’t have to stop what you are doing every time the phone rings, you can simply carry on without a hitch. A wireless Computer Headset is simply a headset with a microphone attached, just leave it on your head throughout the day (many of them are so light and comfortable that you’ll forget they are there) allowing users to speak via the internet to colleagues, clients and potential clients right across Australia and the world beyond.

Some of the latest designs of Computer Headset are not only compatible for use with a computer to speak using the internet; there are also some Bluetooth headsets which can be used with mobile phones as well. Your computer will need to be installed with a Bluetooth receiver and away you go. When you are not busy speaking to clients you can use your Computer Headset to listen to your favourite tunes – ssshhh, better keep the volume down and don’t tell the boss, if you keep saying “mmmm” every now and then with the odd “okay” thrown in he’ll be none the wiser, just don’t start singing the lyrics.

The Computer Headset is certainly nothing new but the increase in quality has been pretty remarkable. The majority of them have volume control and many other options making them easy to use, making it easy for you to hear the caller crisply and clearly and meaning that they can hear whatever you are saying clearly too.

Here is a list of things you can whilst speaking on a cordless Computer Headset in the office when the boss is around;

• Walk around from desk to desk delivering important papers
• Search through filing cabinets at the other side of the office
• Work on the computer – typing, searching files, filling in forms etc
• Do a little manual form filling (some offices in Australia still do that you know)
• Make or fetch the boss a coffee

And stuff you can do with a Computer Headset when he isn’t around;

• Listen to music
• Play computer games whilst talking to clients
• Knit
• Clean your shoes
• File / paint your nails
• Use your imagination . . .
