Did you just buy a new mobile phone? After considering significant factors such as budget, features, sleek design, size as well as platform, The first thing that you’ll probably is copy all the phone numbers and other contact information from the old phone to your new cell.

There are different ways to transfer contacts from one phone to another.  The process may vary depending upon the phone support cloud but broadly, there are four options. I will discuss the most popular mobile platforms like BlackBerry, iPhone, HTC, Nokia, Windows Phone, Samsung and Android. You can opt any one of them listed below.

Transferring from SIM card

When your old mobile address book is comparatively smaller, and you only wish to copy the phone numbers to your new mobile phone, then simply use your SIM card.

Just copy the phone numbers from the old phone’s memory to your SIM card, insert this SIM card into your new phone and then copy the phone numbers in your new phone’s memory.

Most phones such as Nokia have the option of “copy contacts to the Sim”. You are required to put the Sim card in the new phone and choose “copy contacts from Sim to phone or similar, and you will find that contacts would be copied.

Eject or close CD/DVD Tray using Hotkey, Shortcut or Freeware

While there is a button on CD/DVD tray to let you eject DVD or CD, many people prefer using keyboard or a simple click to eject the DVD. This may be because sometimes it is an inconvenience as the DVD door may not be on front and using the button might involve searching for the button. And then at times the physical button just may not work properly. Moreover, being able to control DVD tray using keyboard or mouse is faster.

Eject or close CD/DVD Tray

Some people a create custom VBScripts for a sequence of tasks. Calling a third party enables such people to eject DVD/CD tray without performing any manual task. Whatever be your reason, check out the following ways to eject DVD or close it using keyboard or mouse.

Using Door Control to open DVD Tray

Door Control is lightweight freeware that allows you to eject the DVD door/tray using a simple mouse click. When you install Door Control, you get an icon in the Windows System Tray. Whenever you wish to eject the DVD tray, simply click on the icon.

In fact, it is the postal service that only modernize without engaging any experts or other agencies with the fullest cooperation and optimum utilization of the staff particularly the Postal Assistants called as Systems administrator with their personal knowledge which they already acquired in the computer oriented operations. Even today the same officials only attend faults and servicesby releasing so many patches to the software and maintain properly whenever required and not depending the agency services and without any extra remunerations.

Till time more than 6000 offices are rolled out to CBS, due to the pressure exercised by the Department in haste.  Because of such anunrealistic fast approach, the end users   at the Counter area are affected very badly, and the public are also suffering a lot.

WhatsApp will no longer charge subscription fee

Facebook-owned popular messaging app WhatsApp will no longer ask you to pay annual subscription fee as the company decides to shelve-off the charges for using the app post 1 year of free usage.

WhatsApp said that users are no longer required to pay $0.99 as subscription charges post first year of usage citing a strange reason that many of its users don’t have a debit or credit card number. The company said that such users fear of losing access to the App with their inability to pay the subscription fee.

The company mentioned on a blog post,

“For many years, we’ve asked some people to pay a fee for using WhatsApp after their first year. As we’ve grown, we’ve found that this approach hasn’t worked well. Many users don’t have a debit or credit card number and they worried they’d lose access to their friends and family after their first year. So over the next several weeks, we’ll remove fees from the different versions of our app and WhatsApp will no longer charge you for our service”

Points to be taken into consideration while finalizing the 7th Pay Commission Report: Demands by MSA

SURVEY OF INDIA

MINISTERIAL STAFF ASSOCIATION (CHQs’) 

Dehradun

The demand of the Staff Side to fix the minimum pay to that of Rs. 26,000/- has been completely rejected by the 7th CPC and has arbitrarily fixed the minimum pay as Rs. 18000/, The 7th CPC has mutilated the formula for fixing the minimum wage. The minimum wage recommended amounts to a meager increase of Rs. 2250 from the existing minimum pay of Rs. 7000 + 8750 (125 % DA as on 1.1.2016). From this minimum pay of Rs, 18000/-, as per the recommendation of the 7th CPC itself Rs. 1500/- will be recovered for CGEIGS and 10 % i. e Rs.1800/- will be recovered towards New Pension Scheme from the employees recruited after 1.1.2004 and 6% towards GPF contribution from the employees recruited prior to 1.1.2004 resulting in minus or a very meager  benefit for the low paid employees.

While the minimum wage is fixed as Rs. 18000/- the Secretary level officers are given a huge hike of Rs. 2,25,000 and the Cabinet Secretary’s salary is fixed as Rs. 2,50,000. The ratio between minimum pay and the maximum pay should be not more than 1: 8, the 7th CPC has kept the ratio as 1: 13.88.   The public at large is misled by the statement that a hike of Rs 23.5% is granted to Central Government employees where as the actual increase is only  3 to 4 % as per the calculation given below 

Pay Matrix Recommended by 7th CPC is not final and subject to change – Federation Sources

The Constituent Unions of NCJCM has called for three days’ agitation Programme from 19-1-2016 to 21-1-2016 to draw the attention of central government to settle the Modified charter of demands. Recently they demanded the government to constitute an empowered Committee to settle their demands through negotiation. However, the Cabinet gave its approval for constitution of an Empowered Committee to study the 7th Pay Commission report for implementation Process.

Why is my computer so slow? WhySoSlow will tell you!

Computers get slower over the time, no matter which brand you are using. Knowingly or unknowingly, we usually cram our PCs with dozens of programs, tools, files and folders; which gradually slows down the machine. The slowdown actually comes into our notice when it become worse. One actually need to optimize Windows for better speed and performance.

Why is my computer so slow

While there are several different reasons behind your slow computer, we thankfully have many tools which help us speeding our PC and improving its performance. WhySoSlow is one of such programs from resplendence. This is a free software which analyzes your system thoroughly and gives you the exact details about the reasons slowing down your machine.

                                 

WhySoSlow analyzes the complete system including the speed, temperature, and load on CPU, Kernel and App responsiveness, memory load, and hard page defaults.

The program is pretty simple and needs no technical knowledge to understand. The main overview of the program shows tabs like:

Applications for the Gold Bonds to be accepted from 18th January to 22nd January 2016

Government, in consultation with the Reserve Bank of India, decides to issue Second Tranche of Sovereign Gold Bonds Scheme 2016; Applications for the bonds to be accepted from 18th January to 22nd January, 2016; Bonds to be issued on February 8, 2016 and will be sold through banks, Stock Holding Corporation of India Limited (SHCIL) and designated post offices.

The Government of India, in consultation with the Reserve Bank of India, has decided to issue second tranche of Sovereign Gold Bonds. Applications for the bonds will be accepted from January 18, 2016 to January 22, 2016. The Bonds will be issued on February 8, 2016. The Bonds will be sold through banks, Stock Holding Corporation of India Limited (SHCIL) and designated post offices. The borrowing through issuance of the Bond will form part of market borrowing programme of the Government of India.

Expected DA from January 2016 likely to change the Fitment Factor of 7th CPC

At the end of the Sixth CPC Regime all the Central Government servants are at the verge of receiving their last installment of Dearness Allowance in Sixth Pay Commission. Almost the DA from January 2016 will be finalized after the release of AICPIN for the month of December 2015. The eleven months AICPIN Points released from January 2015 to November 2015 by Labour Bureau suggests that there is a possibility to get 6 to 7 percent hike in DA from January 2016. But the AICPIN for the Month of December will determine the exact rate of hike in Dearness Allowance from Jan 2016.

India Post Sees A Massive 900% Jump In Profit As The Prefered Partner Of E-Commerce Brands

If you thought that India Post is all but done for and with the downfall of snail-mail (that's letters and postcards if you didn't get it!) and the closure of Telegram, then you got it all wrong.

India Post has seen an unprecedented profit growth in the past two years piggybacking on the rise of e-commerce and its reach into the remotest corners of India. Where new services Delhivery, Ekart and at times even world-leading couriers may fail - India Post still does it.

Add this to the reliability which makes it the favoured Cash-On-Delivery (COD) channel used by e-commerce brands - led by Amazon - and we have a match made in heaven.

Netflix Launched In India: Things You Need To Know

Do you tend to spend more time on internet than your television sets? If that’s the scene, then you can now watch all subscription-based films and television programs online, as Netflix officially enters in India. You simply need a desktop, laptop or a smart phone to access Netflix.

The American internet streaming media, Netflix reaches India and 129 more Asian, Middle East and European countries.

Indian viewers have indeed waited long for this top global video streaming service to come in. Here are things you got to know about Netflix, before accessing it, reports TOI.

What is Netflix?

Netflix is an online video streaming service that is much popular than HOOQ, YouTube or iTunes for the global audience. It’s a boon to the internet TV network and presently has more than 70 million registered members. It anchors TV shows, movies, original series, documentaries and films.

14 postal-services causing heavy loss to India Post

It refers to RTI response revealing fourteen postal-services causing extra-ordinary heavy loss to postal-department with many of some services not being much used. A post-card worth just 50 paise costs rupees 7.18 to postal-department while not-so-much used and outdated Inland-Letter-Card priced at rupees 2.50 also costs department rupees 7.18. Significantly postal-department bears maximum loss on mailing registered newspapers at just 25 paise but costing the department rupees 10.59.

With 25-coins discontinued and 50-paise coins virtually disappeared from circulation, minimum postal-tariff should be rupee one especially at a time when even beggars refuse to accept coins below rupee one.
