How To Control Visits From Vampirestat and Adsensewatchdog ?

Have you ever annoyed by these sites which increases your visits in your blog and no visits appear in analytics? or Whos.amung.us tooblbar?. Yes i have been also blessed by the anonymous robot visits from vampirestat and watchdog. I was really pissed off when i saw different statistics in blogger and google-analytics and in adsense window. I contacted google then and there. They replied within a week and told, "none of the visits were human. means they were just bots, designed to crwal your pages and ignore it. Your analytics status would be your true views." 

See the sample statistics of my webpage for a month and around 25% views are dominated by these bots


Peggy at Google productforum who is a moderator helped a lot in understanding the behaviour of these bots. 
Follow these steps and avoid these bots visiting much again

  • Dont click on the referred sites link in your blog status

    When you click on the link, bots are activated which crawl your page exponentially. I too paid a visit and got extra 50 visits (false bot visits). Never click on these links or visit their site. Doing so, you can turn down the volume to around 100/so a month.
  • Dont refer/enter your site address in that bot webpage

    Some pages offer to give you the ranking free. Believe me, nothing comes free off cost. Install the alexa toolbar or whos.amung.us toolbar to track visitors to your site and find your site rank
  • Dont ever like or share them at their webpage

    Liking or sharing can allow their cookie to be used in a harmful way. If you did that already, clear your browser using c-cleaner

Nokia Lumia 625 Full Phone Specifications

This was announced by Nokia India on July. The phone featuring windows operating system may replace lumia 620. No official words are out about this. We had seen problems of lag and hanging up on lumia 620, While lumia 720 and 520 were perfect Gems.


Though the specifications are somewhat similar to that of lumia 620 as Nokia has only cared to remove problems that Lumia 620 faced. But lets look into the detailed specifications.

The bands supported are 850,900,1800,1900 in GSM mode and HSDPA 850,900,2100 in 3G mode, LTE 800,1800,2600 in 4G mode.The SIM architecture is micro SIM. One with an existing mini sim has to adapt it into micro sim by using a SIM cutter, which cuts the mini SIM to micro SIM size. Nokia announced it has fixed all range drop problems experienced in Lumia 620. Hope this is true.

BODY


The Nokia Lumia 625 is 5.25*2.85*0.36 IN SIZE (inches). The smartphone weighs 159 grams. This is little more, but no problem for user as mere 30grams cant be felt.

Maybe cost cutting.

SOUND

MEMMORY


The phone supports micro-sd external cards upto 64GB capacity. The main catch is that it also has an internal 8GB for installing applications (around 4.5GB usable). The phone is equipped with a 512MB ram. We expected atleast 1GB ram for smoother operation.

DATA


The phone also provides backward compatibility to GPRS and EDGE users. It also supports HSDPA upto 42.2 Mbps and HSUPA upto 5.76Mbps. This is a wonderful move which pushes this device well ahead of smartphones in the same range which offer just 12.2Mbps maximum support. The phone also supports Wi-Fi and also it works as a Wi-Fi hotspot and can function as a tethering device/repeater .The latest version of bluetooth v4.0 is integrated for lightning fast data transfer between devices.

AMD 5GHZ Processor Is it Worth The money?

AMD launched 5GHZ 8 core unlocked model recently. Being an AMD enthusiast, i was amazed by this move by AMD. Earlier many HOAX came out like the CPU was meant to be available only to Full PC builders/ Brands like Dell, LG, Hp etc..This then proved to be a lie, as the CPUs were shown available on almost all US stores. This made us wonderstruck. Why sell a 5GHZ processor out to compete with intel?. We very well know that the 'hyperthreading' patended by intel can pull anther 55% off a CPU which is pulling AMD back mainly these days. This is the reason why a 8 true core processor couldnt beat the 6 core 12 threaded intel extreme processor. Then AMD again tries to compete with intel by releasing a revised clocked up vishera. Really? What did you think AMD?


INTEL's strategy is pretty clear. Next they would launch a 8 core 16 threaded processor haswell-E series and all that overclocking may go in vain AMD. I am sad to say this, but the leaked details off INTEL die shop has proved the plans of INTEL.

Power Used


The main problem holding back AMD is its power usage. Intel Haswell-E has an expected 140W TDP at load while vishera 9590 has a TDP of 220W. 80W more power usage means more current bill. For that extra current you use every hour, you could spend for an INTEL processor.



Clock-UP


The tweaked up clock 5GHZ can generate enormous heat. We have seen heat issues with AMD 8350 4GHZ with air cooling. Even a powerful noctua/coolermaster double tower couldnt lower the heat much. So that means you desperately need an excellent water cooling system for CPU. Unless we become clear whats inside the AMD processor box, we cant be sure. Unless its a bundled Water cooling, one would go straightly for an intel i7-4770 processor.


Motherboard support


All new AM3+ platform board must be released to sustain the enormous 220W TDP as the maximum TDP supported is 150W by an AMD supported board. This would also come with a premium price than regular boards. maybe around 100$ more. This may give INTEL an advantage where even a 60$ motherboard can run a i7-4770 processor (4core-8 thread)

Performance



Yes, the clocks up would give an advantage to AMD. But none says about overclocking INTEL. An overclocked intel i7-4770 would deliver more perfromance than Stock 5GHZ AMD.
I said i7-4770 processor. Expect what a stock i7-8 core haswell would deliver...

Reliability


From my experience, how much hot a CPU runs, the reliability goes down. For example, as tudy conducted by 'pure-pc' showed clearly that a stock cpu can last more than an overclocked CPU.
And for people who care about reliability, this news is hell. AMD always has been our partner since they were found reliable than INTEL, where INTEL cpu performance has gone down in years, But AMD stood strong.

Overall Rating


We could only give it a 4/5 rating, as the sources say that pricetag of CPU alone maybe 900$. Yeah that is a rough 54,000 INR. For that price, one could get their hands on 2.Yeah TWO!! bundle Intel i7-4770+motherboard

How To Fix Internet Response Problems and DNS Server Errors

Have you come across situations when you cant browse fastly around webpages and every now and then your browser returns an error page? This error happens because your default DNS servers cant render the page you are requesting.



What is a DNS server and what is meant by resolving?


All websites we browse, for eg www.google.com are stored as IP addresses in the DNS database and how fast this name request can be turned to IP address by your DNS servers determines your internet browsing speed.

This process of turning names to IP are called as resolving (laymans terms)


How to spot and fix DNS errors?


If your browsing turns extremely annoying with half loaded webpages, never ever responding loading bars and specific site loading issues, then you are a victim of DNS error.

There are 2 fixes. Let me explain easy method here

  • Goto control panel.
  • Open 'Network and sharing center' .
  • On left side top, click on 'adapter settings'. You can see such a window





  • Find your network adapter (in case of wired connections it should be 'LOCAL AREA CONNECTION' or 'ETHERNET' and in case of wireless connections it should be 'WIRELESS NETWORK ADAPTER'
  • Right click the adapter and click 'properties'








    • select TCP/IP (v4) and click properties 
    • You can see a window as below.

      • Change the button selection to Use the following ip address and use the following DNS address
      • Enter the following in it
      • Ip address:192.168.1.3 (last value can be any value 2-255)
        Subnet mask:just click on this section, you can see it appearing automatically
        Default gateway-192.168.1.1
        Primary DNS and secondary DNS
        You can choose from any pair below

        Google DNS

        primary:8.8.4.4
        secondary 8.8.8.8
      • Click on OK and you are done. Change DNS agin if you are facing the problem in future.

The miniature version of HTC one has a downgraded processor, but its enough for smooth and efficient operation. Htc one mini looks exactly same as its father. 


      HTC one was announced by HTC on July 2013 and is expected to hit markets on august 2013. This device shares a micro-sim architecture and one needs to have a sim-cutter device to adapt his mini-sim to micro sim and to use with this device. The features are somewhat similar to its predecessor. But differs in performance segment. The device is available worldwide in 3 different models. They are EMEA version, ASIA and AT&T version. Lets peek into the features this device offers to the users.

      NETWORK


      HTC one mini is superior in network support. This device supports all the available modes. the device also have backward compatibility to 2G,3G and 4G modes. The bands supported in 2G are 850,900,1800,1900. The bands supported in 3G mode are HSDPA 900,1900,2100. The ASIA version supports HSDPA 850 apart from above bands.The 4G network supports LTE 800,1800,2600 and ASIA version supports LTE 900 and 2100 apart from above modes.The SIM architecture is micro-sim and all range related problems are seemed to be fixed in the mini version.

      DISPLAY & BODY


      The HTC One mini version is 5.2*2.49*0.37 in dimensions (inches). This is not so mini compared to the miniature versions of SAMSUNG and SONY. The phone weighs 122 grams. That is so light for a smartphone. This should rock the light weight lovers.The display is a super LCD2 capacitive screen as expected. The phone screen is 4.3 inches and it has an amazing ppi of 342 which shows what will be the depth of pictures shown on the phone. It supports multitouch and has Corning gorilla 3 protection against scratches.Its also bundled with HTC sense UI.

      SOUND


      The phone has built in amplifiers and stereo speakers for song/music enthusiasts. It also has prebuilt WAV ringtones and alert tones. One can easily swap them to an MP3 song they prefer. It also has Beats audio enhancement and has a 3.5 mm jack support. This shows HTC plans on being a threat to music edition smartphones of SONY.

      MEMMORY


      Despite of having a memmory card slot, the phone is equipped with a 16GB internal storage (12GB usable). The smartphone also has a 1GB ram for quick application launch. One should have expected a 2GB but 1GB does the operation perfectly fine, HTC says.

      DATA


      HTC one mini has GPRS EDGE and HSPA support. Alas it doesnt have wifi-tethering support. The phone supports dual-band wifi though for boosted internet surfing. The phone is equipped with a version 4.0 bluetooth for superfast data transfer across phones.

      CAMERA


      The camera disappoints again. A trick to make people go and buy the full version. Its a mere 4.0 MP camera. The secondary camera is of decent 1.6 MP though. It has 1080p @ 30fps video recording. But expect nothing from a 4MP camera eventhough HD capable. We would atleast expect a 8MP from HTC. The camera has added features like tag on and smile and face detections.

      FEATURES


      The other features of this miniature version are, a 4.2.2 HTC sense firmware and a dual core karait clocked at 1.4GHZ working on a qualcomm snapdragon chipset. The phone is equipped with adreno 305 and one would have expected a decent one from HTC. It has accelerometer,gyro,proximity and compass included. It supports HTML 5 and has GPS with GLONASS support.

      BATTERY


      It is equipped with a non removable 1800mah battery Li-ion. It provides a sweet 20hr talktime on 4G. The non removable battery maybe a burden later as with low RAM the phone is prone to LAG and Freezes.

      Motorola Moto X Full Phone Specifications


      The motorola Moto X is the device from motorola which runs google android (stock) 4.2.2 .This device which is expected to be a killer in price is expected to arrive on final qaurter of 2013 and announcements may happen anytime from august 2013.This device, being powered by the stock android is expected to show miracles to the people waiting. Motorola has carefully integrated all features and taken special care to put each component a little ahead of the competitors specs. Consider the CPU for example. where every device offers a 1.5ghz krait version, motorola has taken special care enough to power up 0.2ghz more on the version its using in moto-x, yes a 1.7ghz CPU which is as fast as a tweaked OS running 4 core smartphone.


      The motorola company faced many problems while switching from its java platform phones l6,l7,l9 etc to standard multitouch phones. They have tried almost everything. At last they come up with stock android. Will it work for them? Wait and see till Q4 2013. Lets meanwhile see the specs of moto-x

      NETWORK


      Motorola moto x is expected to have support for all bands available including 2G,3G and 4G-LTE.The modes/bands supported are GSM 850, 900,1800,1900. 3G support is limited to HSDPA only. 4G support has not been revealed officialy. LTE support is announced.

      DISPLAY


      As expected, motorola moved from resistive touch and stylus to more friendly capacitive screen with 16M colour support. The screen is of 4.7 inch width (diagonally measured) with a decent 312 ppi density. But SAD...the display is not full HD capable. as motorola offers just 720*1280 pixels. There is also multitouch support announced for motorola moto-x 2013.

      SOUND


      The phone is equipped with regular WAV ringtones with mp3 switch support, and also supports MP3 and MP4 formats.It is also equipped with loudspeaker, and an integrated 3.5mm jack slot. But with previous experiences with motorola, one can expect excellet sound than any other smartphone relesed till date.

      MEMMORY


      The phone has an internal 16GB memmory (12GB approx usable)  and an external slot with support upto 32GB memmory cards (micro sd). The phone is also equipped with enormous 2GB memory for LAG-free operation. We saw earlier what a good memmory can do in LAG free operation -Nexus 4 Q1 2013

      DATA


      Motorola moto x has HSPA+,GPRS, and EDGE support. HSPA expected speeds must be around 21Mbps. The phone also has equipped wifi with wifi hotspot, a V4.0 Bluetooth for seamless operation, and USB cord with USB 2.0 aarchitecture.

      CAMERA


      This is where motorola did an amazing study and heck, even latest phones with half lack pricetag have 8Mp camera. Motorola has intelligently integrated a 10Mp camera and this could add a lot to the value. The secondary camera for voice calls can deliver upto 2 Mp (1.9approx) and is pretty decent in current scenario. The primary camera is capable of recorind in 1080p with 30 frames and serves as a pocket HD cam.

      FEATURES


      The other features bundled to motorola moto-x are,an android 4.2.2 google stock OS and Qualcomm MSM 8960 chipset. The CPU bundled is a dual-core krait and t has an astonishing clock of 1.7GHZ to blast the response delivered. It also has an adreno 320 graphics processor for gaming and lag free HD playback. It also has sensors namely accelerometer, proximity and compass. The phone also has GPS support with GLONASS. 

      BATTERY


      The expected backup is around 20hours on 4G. Motorola may come up with a powerful battery so as to fullfill the power requirements of overclocked krait (1.7GHZ). atleast a 3000mah battery is essential
