எனக்கு சில உண்மைகள் தெரியும்,

எனக்கு சில உண்மைகள் தெரியும்,
அவற்றைச் சொல்வதால் யாருக்குமே பயனில்லை,
சிலர் மனவருத்தமும் அடையக்கூடும் என்றால்,
அந்த உண்மைகளை யாருக்கும் சொல்லமாட்டேன்.

எனக்கு சில உண்மைகள் தெரியும்,
அவற்றைச் சொல்வதனால் யாருக்குமே பயனில்லை,
ஆனால் சிலருக்கு அந்த உண்மைகள் இனிப்பாக இருக்கும்
என்றால்,அந்த உண்மைகளை சொல்லமாட்டேன்.

எனக்கு சில உண்மைகள் தெரியும்,
அவற்றைச் சொல்வதனால் சிலர் பயனடைவார்கள்,
வேறு சிலர் மனவருத்தம் அடைவார்கள் என்றால்,
அவ்வுண்மைகளை சொல்ல சரியான நேரம்
வரும் வரை காத்திருப்பேன்.

எனக்கு சில உண்மைகள் தெரியும்,
அவற்றை சொல்வதனால் சிலர் பயனடைவார்கள்,
சிலருக்கு அது இனிப்பாக இருக்கும் என்றால்
நான் அதைச் சொல்வேன்.

Nano-SIM Coming Soon

After Apple’s iPhone, iPad and some recently launched Nokia’s phones like Lumia 800 and 710, the micro-SIMs were just getting into the groove to be adopted by other manufacturers. The adoption of micro-SIM has paved the way for making our portable devices more compact and efficient. But it’s now time to change that and get our devices much more compact and more efficient than it is now.
A Mini-SIM and a Micro-SIM comparision
It’s now time to reduce the size of the SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) once again. After nearly 20 years of producing the first ever SIM card, German manufacturer Giesecke & Devrient (G&D) is now presenting the world’s first Nano-SIM card. This new form of SIM is about 60 percent smaller than the current generation Mini-SIMs which indicates cell phone manufacturers having an advantage of additional free space to include, maybe, larger batteries or more memory or even making the device thinner.
The Nano-SIM will be 15 percent thinner and 30 percent smaller than the micro-SIMs. The SIM will be 12mm x 9mm in dimension. Various network operators worldwide have been given initial samples for the testing process and the Nano-SIM is expected to be standardised by the end of this year through ETSI. Which could mean Apple getting their fair share of the SIM for their next i-device which would be launched next year. There is nothing more to worry for older cell phone users as the Nano-SIM would be backward compatible by the use of an adapter solution for universal use.

2018 Commonwealth Games go for gold

The Gold Coast has clinched the 2018 Commonwealth Games.

    The Gold Coast has beaten the Sri Lankan city of Hambantota in the competition to host the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
Despite several other cities - Perth and Adelaide (Australia), Abuja (Nigeria), Auckland and Christchurch (New Zealand) and the Port of Spain (Trinidad and Tobago) - indicating their interest in hosting the games, it ultimately became a two horse race in 2010 when they failed to enter a bid.

Gold Coast Bid:

   The Gold Coast bid was officially launched on 22 August 2008 by Queensland Premier Anna Bligh.
    Ms Bligh and Gold Coast Mayor Ron Clarke, a former Olympian and Commonwealth Games athlete, both played major parts in the campaign.
  The bid was built around the tagline 'It's our time to shine' and the hope of being 'the greenest games ever held'.
    The Gold Coast leveraged their argument for hosting the games on its extensive experience in hosting large scale sporting events and its existing high quality and well located facilities.

Hambantota Bid:

  Hambantota entered the race as the underdog with a surprise, last-minute bid on 31 March 2010.
The underdeveloped coastal city is the capital of Sri Lanka's southern Hambantota District.
 It was hit by the Indian Ocean Tsunami in 2004 and its games bid was linked to long term development plans for the area including remaking Hambantota as a 'sports city'.
  The tagline for its bid was 'Together: From the heart'.
  The bid was overseen by the Sri Lankan minister for sports, Mahindananda Aluthgamage and the governor of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka, Ajith Nivard Cabraat.
