An Ideal Product Review

 What is an ideal online product review, what should we expect from them?


Product Review Image

When I read the reviews of any product, the objective is to look for certain answers which can help me in deciding whether to buy a product or not. But, nowadays, every product is having hundreds of reviews and most of them are just the collections of features and specifications of the products. I am really surprised by those people who are creating these useless reviews. The information they are giving in the name of review is anyway given on the listing of the product on any shopping site. Who wants to learn that, it is very frustrating to see these kinds of reviews almost daily in your life. Even, I have seen people comparing two products by just running through their features and specifications from a table.  I have observed that there are majorly two kinds of reviewers: One who is there to make money out of making these reviews, and the other ones who generally are not happy with the products. With the second type, most of the time, the buyer decides not to buy after reading their experiences. It will be very rare to see any product online with zero or hardly any negative or low rating reviews. Trust me, if you see one, there is definitely a catch or flaw, and one should not go for that product. Very few percentages of the happy buyers are genuinely interested to take out time and write a good review without getting any monetary benefit out of it. As everyone knows, people online are more or less into making money, so it becomes very hard to decide whether a review is true or fake. At a personal level, I have found this whole exercise of buying anything online a very tiring process and that has somehow taken out the charm of shopping online, which initially was fun. Especially, for those individuals, who are bad at decision making, are the most suffered one, as going through these product reviews will never help them. So, how can we resolve this? Should we have another system that reviews the review? I am not sure, how much practical and genuine that will be.

Gumption- a must have to handle life situations. Do you have it in you?

Gumption- It's really a unique word, and a fascinating one too. The word really impressed me. I heard it recently in the movie 'The Holiday', where an elder character suggested the protagonist to have gumption to live a good life. The origin of this word has been mentioned to be of early 18th century (originally Scots). The dictionary meaning of gumption is "shrewd or spirited initiative and resourcefulness". Some of the synonyms which helps to understand the meaning are "initiative, resourcefulness, ingenuity, inventiveness, cleverness, shrewdness, acumen". Another meaning or definition which I personally like is "the ability to decide what is the best thing to do in a particular situation, and to do it with energy and determination". In other words "the strong will and determination to do something". Many a time, in your life, gumption acts as a prerequisite to handle or face a situation, but not everyone is lucky to have it.

Which is the best OS for atom netbooks????

Although laptop makers recommend using windows 7 starter or basic edition for netbook to get best performance, but unfortunately that doesn't happen. I have tried three versions of windows 7- basic, starter and professional. It does run, and you can do things, but will hang in between. The reason being, windows itself is taking ~50-70% of your RAM. So with 1 gb RAM, there is hardly much space left to really work. Even with internet surfing you will see that it stuck many times when there are heavy sites or multiple windows open, as RAM usage reaches more than 90%. I bought my netbook (Asus x101ch) with the hope it will be much easy for me to do simple things  like surfing, listening music etc. But, with OS mentioned above its really not smooth. I have found that XP runs much better, faster and smoother. But for the latest netbooks like the one I have, drivers are the issues, you don't get drivers for XP.

An Unknown Face

"Oh... Definitely, I have seen him somewhere" - she said. But her memory is not helping. In the last few days, she has spotted him a few times. The first remembrance was when she was having the morning tea in her balcony, and he was walking by. She noticed it because she felt his gaze fixed at her for a moment. He was not staring but gave a quick side glance at her, and that penetrated her mind and etched a memory. Then, she saw him in the market, from a distance but did experience similar feelings. Now, it has occurred a few times, and her mind is restless with the thought that anytime and anywhere, he is watching her and she has not spotted him. It's a terrorizing and disturbing thought. "Why am I thinking this way, and why that guy?" She is a rational and logical person. There are hundreds of people one meet, some frequently, some occasionally and few rarely. None have left this kind of impression. "Who is this guy? What's the r...
