How to Get Online Away From Home or Work

E ver since the days of the fax machine and
clamshell PC, I've delighted in the concept of
working away from home or office.
I have fond memories of lugging those clunkers
from the back of my car in and out of motel
rooms through bone-chilling blizzards and driving
rain -- adding to the carry-load, certainly, but
bringing freedom.
With many of us now accumulating multiple
connected mobile devices, including laptops,
tablets, cameras and phones -- all of which can
accompany us on sojourns out of the workspace
and home -- one might ask: What's the most
efficient and cost-effective way to keep online
while away from the economical, unlimited
Internet pipes available at our fixed locations?
Here's what you need to know.

Step 1: Determine how much Web browsing and
email data you use in a month.
Are you streaming or downloading multimedia, or
just browsing the Web and checking email?
If all you have is one smartphone that you use to
check email and social networks, you can survive
on a domestic data add-on from your smartphone
wireless carrier, which will be a good combination
of always-available convenience an arguably
reasonable price.
For example, one hour of navigation directions
per day and 1,500 Web pages and 1,500 text-only
e-mails per month will often add up to less than 1
GB, which is often an entry-level phone plan
offering.
Tip: Data counter apps are available in app
stores. 3G Watchdog for Android , for example,
will let you calculate real-time usage.

Step 2: Determine how much video or
multimedia you use.
One hour of streaming video per day can add up
to 7 GB per month. This is often more than
wireless carriers allow before throttling, or than
they will sell you at a reasonable price.
Two hours of streamed music per day requires 4
GB of data a month; 15 minutes of video calling
per day requires 1 GB of data a month.
If you don't look at video, you'd be surprised at
how little data you use. However, if you do, or
you want to, and want to do it without being
gouged, you need to improvise a bit.

Step 3: Look for free WiFi hotspots.
Use your wireless mobile network for non-data-
intensive Internet, like email and Web only, and
then find free hotspots for media downloads.
Free hotspots can include hotel lobbies; bars;
Starbucks; McDonald's; and your cable company --
look for the CableWiFi identifier.
Tip: Boingo is a WiFi on-the-go service that
provides access to free and paid hotspots for a
monthly subscription.

Step 4: Pool resources with others.
If you, your coworkers or your family use multiple
smartphones, tablets, e-readers, iPods and so on,
you can avoid multiple payments to wireless
carriers, or hotels and the like, by creating one
connection that everyone hooks up to.
Look for the term "MiFi," or Mobile Hotspot, from
your wireless carrier.
Tip: Verizon will sell you a prepay Jetpack Prepaid
LTE hotspot for US$99.99 and then pay-in-
advance service of $90 for 10GB valid for one
month.

Step 5: Tether your devices to your phone.
Mobile phone networks offer a tethering option
by which you can purchase a tethering add-on
that lets you connect tablets and PCs to your
smartphone wirelessly. The phone acts as
modem.
Tip: Sprint offers mobile hotspot add-ons that
range up to 6GB of shared data for $49.95 over
and above your existing plan.
Step 6: Use your laptop as connection.
I've written about this recently: Your PC connects
to the hotspot and the brood connects to the PC,
saving configuration time and money.

Step 7: Choose satellite services in remote
areas or at sea.
If all you want is your Twitter feed and there
aren't any hotspots or mobile service where you
spend time, Inmarsat's IsatPhone Pro is easily
configured with free incoming tweets in an SMS
text-like readout on the phone's handset.
Prepay SIM cards, newly available in the U.S.,
start at around $90 and last two years. The phone
itself costs $660 on Amazon.
More data-intensive broadband solutions are
available from Inmarsat's BGAN service. If you
need to ask the price on that one, you can't
afford it.

Pine Trees : Source Of Free Manure & Income

 Hello eveyone, This Blog is to provide useful & new technology to all readers regarding all fields whether of advancement in technology,science, agriculture, robotics, chemical , civil & all other fields.

India,rich in her diversities, floura & fauna and wildlife. 
   In hilly areas of North i.e. near Himalayan region, UP,Uttarakhand , Jammu & Kashmir , pine trees are found in abundant . These are a good and useful resource of fertilizers. Moreover, are used as organic manure since few years. Pine trees are harmless organic fertilizers which can be used as fertilizers in other states nd outside of India. Moreover, It contains Citric acid, which will provide nutrients to plants and then indirectly to us.  Also, tea prepared from pine leaves are a good source of vitamins.

Entering the New Technology Era

The world in 2013 is unlike any period in our history. The pace of change today – across any area of human activity you care to name – is unprecedented. We find innovation is everywhere. Our hunger to find better ways of working, of new insights, and closer ways to collaborate seems to know no bounds. In spite of a harsh global economic climate, our ability to fashion new technologies, to harness the power of information appears healthier than ever.
At Fujitsu, we believe passionately that innovation in technology is our route to secure a better future. We have an ambitious vision; we call it Human Centric Intelligent Society. Human Centric Intelligent Society is about building a better, more sustainable society through the power of ICT. It means putting people at the heart of the world, and using technology to deliver innovation into everything we do. It means powering business and society with information and bringing together the physical and digital to deliver greater benefit across society. And it means orchestrating technology from end to end to deliver greater understanding and control of the world around us.
While we have seen a lot of change already, the future is an ever more exciting place. The economic challenges we currently face mask an exciting truth: We are on the cusp of a new era, where technology will bring about value on a scale that can scarcely be imagined today. Let’s explain what we mean.
Firstly, the nature of technology is changing. As technology capabilities that were recently considered “futuristic” continue to make their way into everyday life, two effects emerge: At the lower end, the core technologies that support today’s businesses are freely available and available on demand. Through the services that have been constructed, we are not so reliant on the specialist expertise or huge amounts of investment that we once required to do the things we need. Today, we talk about consuming technology rather than installing or developing it. Information technology is available on a vast scale, and thanks to phenomenal network bandwidth, anywhere we need it. As a result, the cost of business is falling, and our global productivity is going up. Businesses everywhere will be able to do more with less. Meanwhile, technologies at the leading-edge have advanced to deliver unprecedented power and functionality. High performance computing (HPC) can now deliver petascale processing, bringing outcomes that were once impossible – for instance a pharmaceutical company being able to model the effect of new drugs on human organs – within reach. With it, our ambitions for what we can achieve also grow.
Secondly, technology is transforming the way businesses and society function. We have only begun to scratch the surface when it comes to exploiting the technology capability that has been created over the last two decades. Mobile devices enable us to splice information directly into our physical space, wherever that happens to be. Customers will be able to consume services precisely aligned to their personal context, and receive better-than-ever experiences. Whereas technology was once about accelerating the speed of business and enabling greater productivity, much more its value will stem from delivering insight and as the mechanism to engage with customers. In some industries – such as media or financial services – the digital channel has already become indistinguishable from the product or service that is consumed. And we have the capacity to exploit information like never before from all around us, giving us unprecedented control and insight over our world.
Today, technology touches our lives in so many different ways. There is scarcely a business or organization that does not make extensive use of it. Technology determines the shape of entire industries and the pace of change within them. We can hardly have failed to notice how technology has filtered into our lives as consumers – many of us are connected to the online world through smartphones. What is more, the pace of change seems to be accelerating.
There is no problem too big or small that technology cannot be put to work on. So while we continue to be impacted by the economic uncertainty, just around the corner there is a bright future. Our mission at Fujitsu is to help us to get there, and sooner.
