Difference between dual core and core2duo
CORE2DUO AND DUAL CORE
The difference between core2duo and dual core has been an area of interest primarily because of the similarity between the names. Most of the sites tell about a larger cache size but there is a bigger picture to it.
Core2 is a brand by Intel featuring the Intel’s eighth generation “Intel core microarchitecture”, which uses highly improved processor cores or...
Samurize Your Desktop
There is a huge array of software which can provide some good amount of eye-candy for your desktop but most of them come for a price. They include Window blinds – undoubtedly the first choice followed by Aston shell and others which transform your desktop into something better than the boring “windows”. But there is one thing though; they all come for a price.
A good and free alternative...

Why you should beware chinese products
Chinese Phone
Talking of chinese! there comes a certain leveel of discomfort in our minds. We have this preconcieved notion that chinese products are made in china and are all so cheap.
Well they are actually of two types-one made in china and second assembled in china.
Most of the well to do campanies we see have their products assembled in china due to the...
This program, how does it run!
RUN, RUN RUN
Well, a java program just does not run like any other program written in any other language. There is no direct windows .exe file which can be generated( as of now in my lessons). Now back to the question -how do we run the file?
Java, is a platform independent language. But any java program we write has to be run in an environment, be it any platform, and the concept of a paltform independence...
A first program-Design, analysis and the first cup!
An unconventional beginning
Generally we write a HelloWorld program in java first going by the convention and obsolete ways. Let us start with a simple addition program. Even if this is your first program, believe me, you will feel much more than a newbie.
DESIGN:
import java.lang.*;
class add {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int num1=12,num2=17;
System.out.println("Sum of "+num1+" and "+num2+"...
Java-a tribute to the contribute team
Before the first cup
Java was developed as a prototype to C++ by the Sun Microsystems. Its primary role was to provide developers with a platform which would allow them to program a number of electronic devices, dealing mainly in streaming connections. Developed under the secret Project-Green, the language was originally named Oak, probably because of the oak tree James Gosling-the inventor of Java,...
EMULATION-the reality of a virtual environment
EMULATION
Emulation is the process of making an incompatible subsystem aware of a desired supersystem in such a way that the supersystem is completely compatible and interactible with the subsystem, thereby allowing all possible renderings of the digital objects in the subsystem with reesspect to the supersystem. The intended environment is the target platform and the emulated environment is the host...
Program without main()
Often in classrooms we are taught that the main function is the ‘main’ function in a program! But it actually is not so. That is actually the default behavior of the compiler. The compiler has a predefined set of rules according to which ::
1. The main() function has a default priority of 0, which is the highest.
2. Priorities from 0 to 63 are reserved for use by C libraries.
3. Priorities...
Recursion-the easy way
RECURSION
Recursion is somewhere defined as the tool to fast iteration, whereas some people find it obfuscating and detest it with proof of it being slow and occupancy of unnecessary space. Recursion is not something which occurs to us directly or naturally. We generally tend to think inward to a concluding point, and come out with the result. Proper recursion on the other hand is like moving outward...
