The Dual SIM Mobile Phones are actually a very India specific phenomenon. Indian companies like Micromax came up with dual SIM phones to take advantage of Indians desire to get the best of both worlds by using different plans for local and STD calls. Most intenational companies like Nokia and Samsung were unwilling to come up with a dual SIM phone but finally they had to give up in front of strong consumer demamnd. While Nokia has got only 2 dual sim mobile phones, it can be seen from this page about samsung dual sim mobile price in India that there are a large number of samsung dual sim mobiles in India.

Phlebotomy Certification: My Latest Project
I keep working on some experimental projects from time to time as they allow me to put all the theories into action. A number of times these projects work as a wake up call that something that I am confident to be working has stopped working in less than 2 months. That is why I thought I will share my learning or rather failings while working on my phlebotomy certification blog. These post is about things that I have learned about the niche till now. Technical details will follow in a separate post.
What is phlebotomy certification
When I first stumbled upon the phlebotomy niche, I had no clue about what the word means. A quick search showed me that phlebotomy is the act of drawing blood from a patient either for testing or donation. We keep cribbing that the medical expenses in the USA is too high. Well that seems to be because even the smallest tasks like drawing blood is done by experts there. Yes phlebotomists are professionals who have passed the phlebotomy certification exam and specialize in this single task.

How to make internet connection faster
I have been using internet since last 12 years. I started with a dial up connection of 32kbps (remember the purr purr modem sound!) and now I am using a 2 mbps broadband connection. Even after getting a 2 mbps unlimited download broadband line, I always feel that my internet connection is not able to keep up with my browsing requirements. It always seems slow for me and I am not the only one.
So after few weeks of research and experimentation I have come up with this list of suggestions on how to make internet connection faster. Essentially, these suggestions will help you to use your internet connection much more efficiently, thus getting maximum out of your internet connection. These suggestions will make your internet experience faster.

Mobile phone prices in India
Binaryday had been started to act as a place holder for my website about used mobiles. That project did not really take off as expected even though the site has gone on to become the #1 site for second hand mobiles in India. There are not that many people buying or selling used mobiles in India.
Still I continue to be bullish about the potential role of online websites to make real life commerce a lot more efficient and I am working on some really cool idea for enabling efficient price discovery of books. I will ask you for a feedback as soon as the first phase of the project gets completed. Trust me that is one of the best pieces of codes I have written till date and I am really proud of the project.
My theory that a place holder should always be created as soon as you start working on a project that will take more than a month to be completed. That is why I have started a website about prices in India which will work as a place holder for this cool project of mine. This website is going to have pages like Nokia mobile price list in India and Nokia 5230 price in India among other things.
I have a strong hunch that to be truly useful, I need to convert this site to make the prices dynamic. So that post about nokia mobile prices should be able to get the prices updated whenever the price of a model changes, automatically. What do you think is the best way to accomplish the same?
Update on my stained glass supplies site
I have been planning to start a series on keyword research for quite some time now. I had started working on a website about stained glass supplies as a live example for the topic. I planned to cover various topics related to stained glass items like stained glass windows, stained glass panels and stained glass lamp shades etc. I had heard of the sentence plans are made to be changed.
Looks like my little site has developed some sort of stage fear and is refusing to move beyond the third page of google result 
My first thought was to abandon the site and start working on a new site. But then one of my close friends suggested that I can not earn the right to lecture others about research unless I am able to move this site to the first page.
That is why I have decided to use this post as an open challenge to myself to work on my stained glass website and get it to the top 10 for a search about stained glass supplies. I am giving myself time till the end of August to accomplish this result. Right now I intend to publish posts about other stained glass items and continue to try different methods to push it up.
I hope I will be upto the challenge. If I fail then may be I will jsut delete this post and continue to give gyaan to people about keyword research. Shameless 
Btw if you have got some suggestions about how I can improve the ranking, then please let me know.
Top Free VPN Software or free vpn service
This post about free vpn software or free vpn service is the first technology related post after a long time on binaryday even though my previous posts about directx 11 free download, ntldr is missing vista and dual core vs core 2 duo had been quite popular with the users. I have been working on mostly internet related projects for last 1 year or so and that is why I have not been getting many post ideas for technology related posts.
Requirement of a free VPN Service
While working on a project, I realized that some websites are banned in office. Previously I have written about how to use gmail proxy to access blocked websites in office. However one of my co workers told me that using a proxy may not be safe as system administrator is monitoring the usage of proxy sites. Moreover one of the problems with proxy sites is that many of them may get your system infected with virus. That is when I came across the idea of using free vpn to access these blocked websites. Unfortunately many of the top ranked posts about free vpn services had outdated information.
A word of caution about using free VPN service
I have myself worked in organizations that had very strict policies regarding internet usage. Please remember that using websites that have been blocked by the administrator may be looked at very seriously by your employer. Especially if you are working in a client premises where any breach of confidentiality may result in cancellation of contract or imposition of penalty on your company. Hence please use your common sense while accessing any of these websites.
free VPN service of my choice
I am aware of a number There are a large number of good VPN services available for a nominal fee. However I am assuming that you are looking for a free VPN service and hence we will talk about two popular VPN services that are free.
UltraVPN
UltraVPN is one of the free vpn service providers. The ultraVPN is based on openVPN and hence its security is quite reliable. It does not place any restriction on the amount of usage and can be used for watching streaming video in addition to accessing blocked websites. You can download UltraVPN here.
AceVPN
AceVPN is one more free VPN service based on openVPN that allows unlimited surfing. The similarity between the services is not a coincidence since I was specifically looking for a free vpn software based on openVPN for the sake of data security and software that provides unlimited access.
What Erin Andrews Peephole Video Cache taught me about internet
I have been closely following the news of Erin Andrews Peephole Video for quite some time now. I think there are several important learning for every one active on Internet in the way Erin Andrews peephole video cache story has unfolded. That is why I have decided to make post about a not so related and not so hot news after I stopped doing that with the post about Gomez Boxxy.
- Story based on Google hot trends continues to get traffic for long : Most of the time people will tell you that if you blog about topics from Google trends, then you will have a sudden spike in traffic which will go away in 1 or 2 days. The logic is that interest in topics like erin andrews peephole video is alive while the news is hot and it fades away as soon as some other news replaces it. I had already experienced the fallacy of the statement in case of the story of Boxxy on binaryday and I have been experiencing on my niche news site where I have been following up on the erin andrews story. The traffic has remained steady as first the news started reaching the mass through mainstream media who then came to the site to know how to watch erin andrews peephole and then once the videos were taken down from most major sites, people kept coming to the site looking for video cache of erin andrews.
- Controversy sells, even on the internet: The main stream has always been aware of this fact and they have aways used it to improve viewership. Even on the internet if you go through the 100 terms on google trend for a day then most probably the most contorversial ones like a peephole video or a murder will remain popular even after 3 months while others will fade away.
- You can not remove a page That is one scary thought for bloggers like me. We have the freedom to put up any content that we want. But when it comes to removing them, it is impossible with cache of each page stored on a large number of servers. While the Erin Andrews peephole video has been removed from a number of sites the cached copy is still available for public consumption.
What is your take on the subject? Btw should I post about ways to watch erin andrews peephole video on this post as well. Let me know.
Abraham Biggs Suicide Video : A Sad example of devil nature of social media
People who have failed to understand the true essence of social media keep looking for proof of it being a devil. In one such argument amongst a number of my blogger freinds, someone used the example of the Abraham Biggs Suicide Video as an example of how social media, web 2.0 and pretty much all web technologies have made our hearts cold.
What is exactly the issue of Abraham Biggs Suicide Video?
Abraham Biggs Suicide happened around 4 months back. The guy must have his own reason to end his life. However this story attracted a lot of attention as the guy had done a live webcast of his death and it is suspected that the viewers had egged him on, instead of trying to convince Abraham Biggs, not to commit suicide. It has been 5 months since Abraham Biggs Suicide, but still distractors of social media use it as a proof that web 2.0 is pure evil.
It is stupid to blame technology for Abraham Biggs Suicide
Saying that web 2.0 was responsible for Abraham Biggs Suicide is like saying that medicine is responsible for every idiot that commits suicide by popping sleeping tablets. Moreover he committed suicide may be because of the fact that he was suffering from a bipolar disorder disease. Even if web 2.0 was not there, he would have committed suicide. So how can you blame technology for what mr Biggs did.
Free bollywood movies download and online bollywood movies website where users can watch free movies
I had recently written about most viewed video on youtube. Related research shows that there is a massive demand for free bollywood movies onine. There are many websites that allow users to download free bollywood movies. There is also no dearth of websites to watch online bollywood movies. I have been trying to figure out a feasible business model for starting a website where users can watch free movies. I am not able to find much content related to the legal aspects of the topic. If any of you happen to have any experience in the topic, then please drop me a mail.
Also do you know if working on a seo project for a website which may be illegal is legal or not. My previous posts about romantic hindi songs and romantic hindi movie may get me a project from a site about bollywood hindi movies. I am not sure if it is legal though. What should I do?
TRAI recommeds unrestricted internet telephony services in India
TRAI has allowed ISP (Internet Service Providers) to offer unrestricted internet telephony services in India. What this essentially means is that users will be able to call (dial) to mobiles and landline phones in India from their computers. Under existing norms, a voice call can travel between two computers but not from a computer to a mobile or a fixed phone.
As per the TRAI recommendations, the STD service providers would be connected to ISPs through public internet for the purpose and the two service providers would have mutual agreement for the same.
The Telecom Engineering Centre (TEC), a technical arm of Department of Telecom, will work out the number plan for the ISPs to enable them to offer telephone services. “Telephone numbers from identified blocks shall be allocated to ISPs, Unified Access Service Providers, Basic Service Providers and Cellular Mobile Service Providers for internet telephony,” TRAI said.
With a view to make internet telephony secure, TRAI said, all ISPs interested to provide unrestricted internet telephony would have to install “Lawful Interception” equipments.
I believe that this will be more beneficial to corporate customers than to normal users (retail customers) like us. Reasons:
- India has low internet penetration with only 1.1 crore connections with even lesser number of broadband connections.
- Net speed of 256kbps is classified as broadband in India, which is not sufficient for decent voice clarity.
- Even after having a decent broadband connection, calls from PC to mobiles/fixed phones won’t be free. Users will definitely be charged per call.
- STD Call rates are already very low in India. In fact call rates are so low that even ISPs won’t be able to lower them significantly. Almost all the mobile operators now have plans where STD rates are same as Local rates.
- It is always convenient to call from a phone or mobile than to switch on you PC, connect to internet and then dial the number.
For corporate customers, where the volume of calls is really high this is definitely a boon because they can now deploy VOIP Phones over their Wide Area Networks and can virtually run their internal phone usage for free, independent of the phone service providers. BPO and IT companies will really benefit from this. This will bring in substantial cost savings for these companies. “This is a welcome step particularly for the Indian IT-BPO industry,” said the National Association of Software and Service Companies, or NASSCOM.
But this will mean a loss in revenues for the telecom operators and it will definitely not be welcomed by them. But I believe that they should have a long term perspective of the view. Rather than opposing this they should provide better broadband internet connectivity to the users. In fact as I see the way forward will be rolling out of WiMAX services in coming years, with wi fi enabled mobiles and voice communication moving over from switching networks to IP (internet) networks.
This is a welcome recommendation from TRAI and lets hope government approves it fast.
Xeeber detects invisible Yahoo Messenger users
Xeeber is one more service that allows you to detect invisible yahoo messenger users. I have not used Xeeber myself yet. Have you used Xeeber? Please leave a comment stating your experience with the service.
Google’s latest double standard
Google trend for websites is a tool from google that allows you to get traffic statistics for any website. It gives out details like countries of origin of the users to a particular site, other sites visited by the users of the particular site and most importantly the popular search terms that brings traffic to the website. You can see the traffic trend for techcrunch here.
You can know similar data for youtube with google trends, right?? Wrong. When it comes to google’s own sites like youtube.com or google.com, almighty google will not give you anything. You need not take my word for it. Check google trends for website for google.com or youtube.com to see for yourself.
P.S: If you are able to see the trends for google.com or youtube.com then do let me know. I shall take down this offending post

Should you use regional words for your domain name?
I have been doing a fair bit of research for a new domain name for my second hand mobile website. Seems like most of the usable english names have already been booked. That made me think about using a hindi name for the website.
As a matter of fact if you look at the most successful indian websites, except for rediff, all other major sites have a hindi name. naukri, shaadi, sulekha all are hindi names.
How to choose a TLD for your domain name?
Every domain name has two parts. One before the dot(.), and after it. In the previous post, I had talked about points to consider while choosing the domain name i.e the first part. However the second part is important part as well.
The second part of the domain name or the part after the . is known as the TLD. You can choose from among several TLDs for your website.
dot com (.com) is the most preferred one by me. Simply because majority of websites use this TLD and hence people just have the tendency of typing .com after the domain name. If you use some other TLD for your domain name, then you shall have to keep reminding the users that your site is not .com.
Using country specific TLD in domain name You can choose a TLD specific to your country as well like .in for India. Google seems to give a higher priority to country specific TLDs for searches done in the respective google domain.
Register multiple TLDs for your domain name If you see your users liking your website, then it is a good idea to register multiple domain names for your website. Keep one main site and redirect the other urls to this one. That will ensure that noone else can take your traffic away.
Do you use a TLD other than .com? If yes then please let me know the logic for the same.
Points to consider while Choosing a Domain Name
Your domain name will play a significant part in the success of your online venture. This is not the most important factor of success.This is one factor in your cotrol. Till you choose it the first time!!
There are several factors to consider while choosing a domain name. Some of the important factors are
