Top 10 Cool Features of Microsoft Surface
Microsoft has been a good competitor in technology since last
decades but no one was able to defeat Apple. iPad 2. But after a successful
launch of Windows 8 by Microsoft a months ago, now Microsoft has announced this
wonderful and best , unique tablet. The tablet is proudly powered by Windows 8
which is the most plus point for Microsoft and we hope that this feature of the
Surface Tablet will grab the attention of many people worldwide as for its some
great and amazing features.
Here
are some of the best and Top 10 Features of Microsoft
Surface Tablet,
Microsoft Surface has yet the
biggest screens of all iPad and Windows Pro which is 10.6 inches. This is of
course a great thing to hear as you have the portability on the move with
almost net book sized tablet. The unique simple design of surface makes it really
elegant.
Operating System
The Other important feature of
Surface is that it has Windows 8 as its operating System. Windows 8 is the best
windows ever launched months ago by Microsoft. The Angry Birds app is also
available in Windows 8 operating system. The Operating System of Microsoft
Surface has boosted the popularity of this great Microsoft tablet.
The great and extreme performance of surface
is boosted by the intel Quad i5 Processor which is actually being missed by
Apple and in iPad. Thus the processor makes the Microsoft Surface makes it the
Fastest and most durable tablet on the planet. The Processor is luckily incorporated
with Nvidia Tegra so as to make it able to perform great tasks and
operations to make it stand against Apple iPAD’s.
The Microsoft surface claims its
customers that on full battery charge, it will allow the users to be connected
to the tablet for two complete days. I think 48 hours are enough for using the
surface tablet for such long hours and stay connected has been made easy for
its users gives one more great edge to Microsoft Surface.
This is a cute little addition in
this Microsoft Tablet and that is a separate attachable support and keyboard
with it. Yeah it comes with the physical keyboard to gives it users the optimum
performance they can enjoy while working and surfing the web on surface.
The
most discussed and hot topic about surface is the kickstand feature. If you
have the iPad you must have bought the iPad Case or cover for its protection.
But Surface has a wonderful free kickstand case for the tablet. A best thing when
someone is working for long hours.
Connectivity
While talking about iPad you cannot transfer
files from iPad to other devices as there is no option of USB port and neither
it as some micro SD card slot. But the new Microsoft Surface includes both the
features and it contains USB ports as well as micro SD card slot so you can
transfer whatever and wherever you want.
Microsoft
Surface has an HD display that is strain free watching. I think the feature
would be incredibly new and will be lovely but it’s yet to be seen that whether
Microsoft be able to defeat the Retina Display feature of iPad or not.
Thickness
The
Microsoft Surface is a lot slim that other tablets. But it is a bit heavier
than other tablets but weight is not a big issue so it should not be thought of
as a negative point of Surface, I think it has no issue with the use and fun
you can have with this tablet.
Price
Microsoft is always in competition with its
marketing fellows and this time too they yet haven’t released the exact price
of Microsoft Surface but the representative of Surface tablet told that the
price of the tablet will be really competitive to the market rates. Thus we can
presume that Microsoft Surface will cost approximately $900-$1000.
Top 10 Fastest Trains in the World
Trains have been the oldest way of transport. Initially trains
made were not to fast compare to today’s trains. With the advancement of
science and technology in the modern era there are many fastest trains which
can travel more than 350 Miles per hour or even more than that. Most of them
use Maglev technology which helps them get this much fast speeds.There are
other kinds of metro trains too which are now gaining a lot of popularity among
growing nations as an intercity fastest way of transportation. Metro trains are
designed for small route so they are not that fast. Let’s have a look at the really fastest trains in the World.
10.
ICE V
ICE V also known as Inter City Experimental Train which
was first started in 1988 to interlink European states for the ease of
transportation. The ICE V has two passenger locomotives with it and it has the
high speeds of 282.8mph (406.9kph) and thus for the very first time in history
made the record of the fastest train in the world on May 1st 1988. The train is
372 feet long and can travel 350kph for more passenger locomotives too.
9.
Transrapid 06
Transrapid 06 is a German based train service which works
on Maglev technology. This is really awesome built by scientist. In this form
train do not directly run on the rails thus reducing friction to its minimum
and it speed up due to the magnetic attraction only. It is smoother and quieter
than other trains. The train speeds up to 256.4 mph (412kph).
8.
Aerotrain
Aerotrain by France engineers is really an artistic work
of them. They worked out a frame work to run the train and make a fastest speed
train that runs with air. A special track was designed and it has had a
whooping speed of 267.3 mph (430kph). Massive jet engines were used to provide
the required air pressure to keep the train moving that fast.
7.
MLU002N
The MLU002N train is not a passenger train; it’s a
Japanese test train who achieved the great speed of 267.8mph in a test drive in
1994. The cutely designed awesome train uses combination of aerodynamics brakes
and maglev braking system to slow down near stations from such a high speed of
431kph. It is really helpful in creating new yet advanced trains like that for
passengers too.
6.
Shinkansen
Shinkansen train was built by Japan Railways Group and it
is the bullet train. Apart from the new technology and such fastest speed
tracks, this train is capable of getting more speeds even on rail tracks. It
run on rail tracks and has a speed of 275mph
5.
Transrapid 07
Transrapid system implemented in Germany is the biggest
network of fastest moving trains with the extreme use of the new technology. The
idea is great and the train did hit a high speed of 279.6 mph at a test drive.
It is a bit costly as the highway tracks for this transrapid system takes long
construction time and costs.
4.
Transrapid 08
The beautifully designed sleek look of the Transrapid 08
train by China with high speed of 311.3 mph and it was the first train to cross
300mph speed limit which is an achievement for the design engineers. The speed
of 500kph is extremely great and you will love to travel.
3. ML-500R
ML-500R train is one of the oldest experimentation of
engineers to get the fastest train and you will really be surprised to see that
such an old Maglev train was able to achieve such a high speed of 321 mph and
more surprisingly.It was really a milestone for the people working on the fast
track trains. Indeed it broke all previous records.
2.
TGV
TGV is another great train made by French technicians. They
did such a successful experiment to make the TGV train which has wheels and
runs on normal and conventional train tracks but speed of more than any other
maglev train. The train got the high speed of 357mph.
1. MLX01
MLX01 made by Japanese is No.1 train in the world. MLX01 works
on maglev technology The train is able to achieve highest speed of 361 mph
which is 581kph. The train consisted of three cars and was run by man the first
time it was drove and got such a record breaking speed of 361 mph..
Top 10 Most Interesting Guinness World Records

formed for purpose that they have to be broken. People made great efforts to
enter their name in Guinness Book of World Records by doing something great,
thrilling and really entertaining by which they can show off their utter
superiority over others and can prove a great stamina and superficial human
being in them. We have come up with this great list of Top 10 interesting Guinness Book of World Records for the year 2012.
10. The Longest Surfing Record
Garrett McNamara is a really enthusiastic thrill seeker American
who broke the record of Guinness Book by surfing the largest wave ever of
