The new Swift is expected to come in different hues such as solid bright red, metallic garnet orange, pearl metallic arctic white, metallic ozone blue, metallic silky silver, metallic iridium gold, metallic azure grey, metallic midnight black.

The new Maruti Swift has many new improvements over the previous model. First thing, which is not visually noticeable is that car has increased in size and every body panel of the new Swift 2011 is different from the previous one. The new Swift 2011 is taller than the existing Swift by about 155mm. Now the new length is 3850 mm (compared to the existing 369 mm), but it will still pass for a small category car. There will be more space to the new model and will make it a more appealing car to use.

The width of the car also has been increased from 1690mm to 1695mm which is by far a very negligible change. The height of the new model is 1510mm compared to the old 1530mm.

For better management and appearance the new Swift has a wheelbase of 2430mm whereas the older version had 2390mm. The engine has not seen any change though and has remained K12 Suzuki 1200cc series engine. The visual appeal of the new Swift is far more than the older version with the tail lights extending to the sides and the crystal clear lamps at both front and rear ends make it an adorable piece.

There is a change in prices too. With six variants of the new car being available in the market, the new Swift 2011 official price in India starts at INR 4.22 Lakhs to 5.53 Lakhs Ex-showroom Delhi for Lxi (base petrol) variant and INR 5.17 Lakhs to 6.38 Lakhs for the Zdi (fully loaded diesel) variant.
The new Swift is a characteristic illustration of a contemporary hatchback with all the competence and expertise to give you a wonderful drive experience, while ensuring your safety and comfort. Even before the launch, 50,000 bookings were made for the car.

For starters you can integrate Google+ with all your Google products for example it is integrated in YouTube videos. Google+ is already integrated into the navigation of almost all Google products. It has a better friend management system than Facebook and Orkut. Google is right that the Circles model is more in line with the way we create friendships in our lives. The way we communicate with them is different depending on our closeness to them.

The mobile applications of Google+ have unique ability of getting content to mobile phone easily. Google+ allows chat with many people on mobile applications. While other social networking sites do not have this facility, Google+ allows you to download saved data from Google servers. Social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter do not make it easy to fine share content. Google+ on the other hand has a small tab called Sparks that highlights your interests like cycling, fashion, cooking etc., this feature allows you to pull up anything you might want like videos or articles about any topic.

Sharing of content is very fine tuned when compared to Facebook and other social networking sites. Here your content would be limited to particular groups you want to share with the help of circles. Though Facebook, Twitter and Orkut also offer sharing with some people it happens only if there is a private group. Here in Google+ it is far easier because it doe not require any additional effort. You just can share with some groups or circles only.

Video chat on Hangouts with up to 25 people is a great new feature of Google+ which was missing in Facebook though even Facebook partnered with Skype for this recently but again this is a one to one video chat. Hence, Google+ is the champion in video chat.

The privacy options in Google+ are amazing. If you tag a photo, the person you tagged is immediately notified of the same. Personal data is given utmost importance when it comes to sharing. For example, Google+ gives an option of sharing your photos only with people that you want to or circles that you want to. With too many people pitching in to take up Google+ it only goes to prove the creditability of Google and the long way that it has come.

Consumer behavior is changing from day to day. Earlier buying two wheeler was first major achievement and now its time to buy atleast a four wheeler.

Here are my personnel tips for those who are buying second hand cars on Internet.

Budget:

By the time you decided to buy a car, you might have decided a budget. Remember one thing; plan a budget not only for buying a used car but also for maintenance, mileage, average distance that you travel in a day, long rides worthiness.

Research:

Post a free ad on Internet that you are looking for second hand car on free Indian classified websites.

Get as much as information about the car fits within your budget. Ask the seller to send real car photos of inner body like seats, steering, Gear system, stereo system and outer body like color, car doors, trunk, engine, tires. If possible ask the seller to send a scanned copy of purchase invoice.

Vehicle History:

History of a car is very important when buying second hand car. Ask the seller to send a copy of invoice, Accident history, car insurance details, any complaints that he has on this car from police department or pollution control board, number of times cars has been sold, any parts of the car changed, tires changed.

Checklist for choosing a seller:

1) Price

2) Car model and features

3) Car history

4) After sale support ( 30 days trial period or 30 days warranty )

5) Optional: seller reviews, if the seller is an agent.

Negotiation:

By the time you are negotiating to buy a car make sure you have at least 3 cars that you are short listed. Local market is not so professional, sellers are aware that buyer definitely going to negotiate the price and by default they will increase the price by half.

So do not shy, negotiate like a vegetable buyer.

Those are some of my personnel buying tips for second hand cars, I recommend to start by post a free ad to buy a car.

If we talk about the fourth season of Kaun Banega Crorepati then rules are almost similar to that of earlier seasons but in this season, some new modifications have been brought. Prize money has been kept intact but a jackpot question has been introduced of worth rupees five crores. Kaun Banega Crorepati-4 also starts in the same manner with the fastest finger first in which one common question is asked to 10 contestants and the pattern of question for fastest finger first has been same since its first season. In this question, data has to be arranged within few seconds and the candidate who hits the buzzer first gets an opportunity to be a part of this game and be seated on the jackpot seat. Total 13 questions are asked in this fourth season of KBC and inception happens with the prize money of five thousands.
The entire questionnaire has been divided into 4 stages. The first stage occurs at the second question, second stage at seventh question, third stage at twelfth question and then last stage at last question. The meaning of stage division is that after reaching at particular stage, say at stage-1, if any candidate makes wrong answer then also he will not return empty handed from this game show and will carry away ten thousand rupees with him. Same thing is with all the stages.

Kaun Banega Crorepati-4 is also associated with some lifelines so as to support the candidate reach at their destination and makes him win as maximum as possible. Few lifelines like fifty-fifty and flip a question that used to be in the earlier season of this game show has been eliminated and the existing life lines are ask the audience, phone a friend, ask the expert and double dip. The former two are similar to that in earlier season where as in the “asks the expert” lifeline; help can be met from an expert of that particular episode. One more life line is “double dip” which will we activated as soon as you reach and cross the seventh question and second stage.

Kaun Banega Crorepati has been airing on star plus since its first season but now, its fourth season has now been shifted to Sony entertainment television. Now the main thing is that whether this game show will attain the same popularity as it attained in the previous seasons or not. So this is all about the TRP ratings of any particular program or show. If we go on the data made available by the AMA (Audience measurement and Analytics) then the very first episode of this KBC-4 on 11th October 2010 attained five percent TRP which is assumed to be the highest rating of the evening time band from 9:00 PM to 10:30 PM. Hence, we can conclude that popularity of this show is better in comparison to its earlier seasons.

If we go into its past then first, second and third seasons had been started in the year 2000, 2005 and 2007 respectively. This game show was hosted by Big B Amitabh Bachchan in the first and second seasons of KBC where as its third season was hosted by Bollywood Super Star Shahrukh Khan. However, there was huge difference between the TRPs of second and third seasons and hence third season of KBC was closed before schedule.

Who would have thought the next Droid would be this extravagant ? This smartphone seems to come with things straight from the top dogs at Motorola. The screen is not just big, it is BIG. Some people would call this a mini-tablet. The Droid X may not have a manual keyboard, but it really is not needed. The virtual keyboard is big enough to handle the biggest fingers and fastest typing. If the height is a bit excessive, the savvy looks make up for it. The Droid X is just .4 inch thick. That is 10.2 millimeters for those readers not in the United States. It weighs 5.47 ounces. Its competition, the iPhone 4 weighs 4.8 ounces. That is less than an ounce of difference.

The first task is getting your eyes full of the beautiful Droid X screen. It is 4.3 inches of graphic mastery. It comes with 480 by 854 pixels of resolution. Those are great numbers and soar above the average phone screen. It is a touch screen and because of its operating system, it can do the acrobatics. That is, it can automatically change the screen from portrait to landscape, it can do the popular “pinch and zoom” multi-touch action. It is not an AMOLED display, but then again, it still looks very attractive.

What can the Droid X connect to ? This smartphone connects to Wi-Fi with a special DLNA system. DLNA is the new standard created to make it easier to connect devices at home. For instance, the Droid X can connect to a Wi-Fi enabled TV ( in the future ) to show your videos. The “X” has many different versions of Bluetooth it can connect with. The 1xEV-DO rA high speed data port is there. The USB connector is included. There is a web browser that hooks up to the internet. It is the Webkit browser that has one of the best track records for mobile devices. For instant messaging, there is just one network, the Google Talk system. You may be able to find an Android app to increase that to other networks.

The nuts and bolts of this smartphone is the Android operating system. The Motorola Droid X comes with version 2.1, Eclair. Version 2.2 ( Froyo ) is already available and may be installed on the Droid X. When the unit is released presumably next month, the world will know which was installed. If yours does not come with the 2.2 version of Android it will be slower. The Android system has over 90,000 applications ( apps ) to choose from. The Droid X user will be able to save time and money and enjoy some killer games with the large screen.

The camera is fully equipped. It sports eight megapixels of resolution. It has not one but two LEDs for flash. It is one of the rare ( perhaps the only smartphone ) devices that has a mechanical shutter. It also has touch-to-focus and supports streaming video. The video quality is an impressive high-definition level of 720p. If you want to hook up the Droid X to the television just use an HDMI cable and view videos. There is no secondary camera.

The Motorola Droid X is fast and was given a large battery. Users can talk for eight hours before needing a charge. Look for this to come out next month. “Big Red”, also known as Verizon, will be the carrier of choice.
