Wise Words for You

Universal Pictures It's Back to the Future Day - the date Marty and Doc crashed the future in the second of the three time-hopping sci-fi adventure films. The sequel was released in November 1989.  And watching it back nearly 26 years later, it's impressive to note how many tech trends it predicted, even if it also contained its fair share of misfires. Getting around "Where we're going, we don't need roads..." - well, that's one promise that didn't work out. Flying cars have always seemed to be just over the horizon. Boston-based Terrafugia, for example,  promised to start selling a model in 2012 , but is still trying to get its business off the ground. But while BTTF was overly optimistic about vertical take-offs becoming the norm, it did nail one detail. Listen to the sound effects used for its automobiles as they pass, and you hear the near-silent hum that's become associated with Toyota's Prius and other electric-powered f...

Buffering again, arrgghh! This Netflix and chill session is being seriously hampered by that modern-day cock-block: crap Wi-Fi. If your home internet can't get through a single episode of  Breaking Bad  without killing the mood and crumbling under the pressure, there's a few things you can do to fix it. Before you go rushing down to PC World to buy a new router or extender (although this might help), here's eight things you can do... 1. Nobody puts baby, or the router, in the corner Routers aren't attractive things. It's not like your Apple Watch that you want the world to see; internet boxes are plasticy eyesores of the highest proportion. Chances are then that you've scurried your Wi-Fi box out of the way, hemmed in your TV stand, under the hallway table or behind the coat rack. Don't though; this thing needs to be displayed with smooth-streaming pride. Walls, desks, boxes, it all blocks your Wi-Fi signal, so your router should be given prid...

Tesco 's Hudl 2 was praised for its capable performance and wallet-friendly price tag, but it doesn't sound like the firm is returning to tablets anytime soon. A spokesperson for the supermarket giant told  Marketing  that there are "no plans" for a Hudl 3. The publication also claims that key members of staff who worked on the first and second-generation tablets have since parted company with Tesco. The original Hudl was a surprise hit, holding its own against the likes of the Google Nexus 7 thanks to its affordable launch price of £119. It was followed by the Hudl 2 last year, which came with beefed up specs and a slightly higher price tag of £129. Tesco is gradually retreating from the digital and technology sectors, having recently offloaded Blinkbox and Tesco Broadband to internet service provider TalkTalk and shuttered Blinkbox Books. The retailer also shelved plans for a Hudl-branded smartphone, likely due to competition from the thriving budget Android ma...

Rest does not come with sleeping, it comes with waking. This is both an insight and an action of enlightenment. When we are enlightened we realise that real rest is possible only when we become free of illusion and we no longer struggle against life. Illusion is the idea that people should be, and do, what we want them to. The truth is, all is as it should be, despite appearances, or our perceptions of others to the contrary. This means you can be easy on yourself, easy with others and easy with the world around you. Easiness is a virtue, an attractive one at that. It is much more influential than force. So quit forcing, end the struggling and…relax!

Where we stand in the World, Do anybody knows, Where we stand in the Universe, Do anybody feels it; Where we stand in the space station, Do anybody reaches it; Where we stay's in the beloved one's Do anybody clarifies it; Someone  who reject us from our heart, Do anybody fulfill it's heart. Someone who reject humanity, Do you know where he goes; Why everyone of us is not  rejecting  teacherous minds,criminal minds, terrorist acts, When we will open our minds and eyes.

Warning this Blog may contain strong language The Apprentice  is back on Wednesday with a fresh batch of candidates all eagerly eyeing up Lord Sugar's  enormous pile of cash  impressive business acumen. First, though, they have to face a series of gruelling tasks, late nights, backstabbing colleagues and people saying "myself" instead of "me". One person who made it through the process - and ended up with a serious injection of cash into his business - was 2014 winner  Mark Wright  (not that one, the other one), whose digital marketing agency  Climb Online now  has more than 25 employees and over 150 clients. Who better to give the new business hopefuls some tips? 1.  Do ... be yourself (unless you're a bit of a tit) "When you watch the show, you can see people trying to pretend to be one of two things: either they try to be like candidates from the past who were successful, or they try and take on a persona of what they think the public wants. ...
