From the last three weeks all the Indian webmasters and online entrepreneurs are struggling to withdraw their funds. Till then everything was fine with paypal.  And they were the most comfortable payment processing services to India. But due to some legal issues with Reserve Bank Of India, paypal has suspended the ‘convenient’ services in India.

For now paypal has suspended the option ‘personal payments’ and ‘withdrawals to local banks (Indian)’.

How this move affects Indian webmasters?

Most of the service payments online are done through paypal. It was very easy and except from the lower currency rates they offer (almost 2INR less for every dollars you transfer), paypal was doing fine. But due to the RBI issues

MOUNTAIN VIEW: Google unveiled its new Nexus One smartphone Tuesday in a direct challenge to heavyweight Apple’s iPhone handsets.

The Internet giant billed the touch-screen device, the culmination of collaboration with Taiwanese electronics titan HTC, a “superphone” that marked the next step in the evolution of its Android software.

The world's tallest tower, 'Burj Khalifa' is 828 metres (2,716.5 ft) high


Dubai, UAE; January 4, 2010: The world's tallest tower, developed by Emaar Properties, was unveiled tonight to a crowd of thousands and the world in a crescendo of fireworks, lasers and fountain displays. The official height of the tower, unveiled as 'Burj Khalifa', was announced as 828 metres (2,716.5 ft).

A closely guarded secret, the official height of Burj Khalifa was flashed onto a giant screen before an estimated crowd of more than 400,000, as lasers and fireworks lit up the night sky...



Fireworks cascaded from the tower's spire to the base and lasers blazed out from all levels leaving the crowds awestruck.

The height was disclosed in arithmetic progression, with the numbers being flashed onto the screen, one after another. The tower's height breaks all existing world records for tall buildings.



Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world according to the three main criteria of the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH). The CTBUH ranks the world’s tallest buildings based on ‘Height to Architectural Top,’ ‘Height to Highest Occupied Floor’ and ‘Height to Tip.’

Looking back at 2009, we can say that it was the most interesting times for the web technology despite the harsh economy. The year 2009 boosted the potential of mobile gadgets and exhibited the value of mobile devices in today’s networked society. We can call it the rise of social awareness towards the value of connecting and communicating.

So when we look ahead in 2010, we can see that the innovation have just begun. So here is the list of technologies, which I think, will make its breakthrough in the industry in the year 2010. Most of these technologies are related to online media and the Internet.

1. Apple’s Tablet
The noise and speculation are too loud to ignore the presence of Apple’s Tablet. If all the rumors are authentic and, if by all means Apple launches the iSlate on 25^th January, then it’s going to be the thing to talk about in 2010.

We all must admit that a tablet is a concept that has been around us for a very long time. But it still hasn’t entered the main line consumer devices. But after the increase in sales and demand of Amazon Kindle and Nook, the market is pretty sure that a tablet is soon to be the device to have. So at this time, if Apple can bring the device with the interface that people are looking for then that’s it – We have our new iPOD.

The reason I say this is because, Online Reading is something that every Internet users do and Tablet provides the best way to consume the Internet content. Though we might still be working on a Laptop, Tablet will be the way to consume the digital content.

It looks like MADD may have to change their name to MATM (Mother’s Against Text Messaging) because more and more teens are not so much driving drunk as they are texting while driving. Teens are risking their lives and others as they text, many drifting to the otherside of the road just to send an LOL. However new laws are being passed to prevent this recklessness and many teens claim they won’t listen anyway. “By the time they pull you over, the chances are you are going to be done with your text anyway so they can’t exactly prove that you were texting,” This story may be focused on teens but many adults are guilty just the same. New York is one of the few states that actually has a texting-while-driving ban in effect as of two months ago. If you think you are one of those folks that can text and think they will never cause an accident then check out the video below. For those who have’t already seen it – its not for the faint of heart.
