Actual Truth About Internet Speed
I came to know that there is a lot of confusion as to what MBps and Mbps really are and why we measure internet speeds in one way or the other .Some people think these two are same but some other people have their own perception regarding these .
Let me tell you these are two different units of measuring data transfer over internet. Although they sound similar, they are actually miles apart from one another. They are bits and bytes. 1 byte is actually 8 bits.
* 1byte /s= 8bits /s
* 1KB /s = 1000Byte /s
* 1MB /s= 1000KB /s
Our service providers usually specify their speeds in Mbps . In Mbps speed appears larger. This is done to lure customers in terms of speed . For e.g. 3G service providers in India tells that they give 7.2Mbps but if it is converted to bytes system it remains only 900 KBps .Because of this many among us end up taking plans of 7.2Mbps with a hope that it will give 7.2 MBps but unfortunately it's not like this . Even after using internet we don't realise the truth instead we keep thinking that we are being cheated by the service provider. It's all about perception, right?
Your internet connection has two different speeds, a download speed and an upload speed. Again, internet providers like to give you the maximum download speed they are capable of. And that makes sense, because that is what we are usually doing when we are surfing the net, watching a YouTube video, or streaming music. But if you plan to place files on the cloud you need to be aware of your ISP’s upload speed. This shows how fast data can be transferred from your computer to the internet. Like uploading images to your Google Drive account.
Remember that one Byte is made up of 8 bits. So when you see 1Mbps, you are actually looking at 125KBs. 1Mbps may make you think it is faster, but actually it is not equal to 1MBps.... or the unit in which your download managers shows the speed.

- 125KB/s = 125,000 bytes of data per second.
- 1Mbps = 1,000,000 bits of data every second.
- 125,000 bytes x 8 = 1,000,000 bits
Install Windows 7 from Pen (USB) Drive

In this post, I will show you how to load the Windows installation on to your USB flash drive and make it bootable just like the DVD.
Tools Required:
1. USB flash drive with a minimum capacity of 4 GB.
2. Windows 7 set-up DVD.
Step-1: Plug-in your USB flash drive and backup all the existing data in it.
Step-2: Open the command prompt. If you are using Windows 7/Vista then open it with administrator rights*.
* Goto Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Right-click on Command Prompt and select Run as Administrator?.
Step 3: In the command prompt, type in the following command:
DISKPART
This will start the Microsoft DiskPart utility as shown below:
Microsoft DiskPart
Now issue the following command:
LIST DISK
This will show you a list of available disks on your system. Disk 0 is usually the hard disk. In my case, Disk 1 is the USB drive (this can be a different one in your case). Now issue the command as shown below:
SELECT DISK 1
Install Windows 7 from USB
NOTE: In the above command, 5 is the USB drive number on my system. If you have a different number on your system, then you need to replace 5 with that number.
Step-4: Now issue the following list of commands one by one as shown below:
CLEAN
CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
SELECT PARTITION 1
ACTIVE
FORMAT FS=NTFS QUICK
ASSIGN
EXIT
Install Windows 7 from USB
Minimize the command prompt and proceed to the next step.
Step 5: Insert the Windows 7/Vista installation disc and note down the drive letter of your DVD drive. In my case, it is H:. Now type the following list of commands as shown below:
H: CD BOOT
CD BOOT
BOOTSECT.EXE /NT60 I:(NOTE: I: is your USB drive letter)
EXIT
Now we are done with making pen drive bootable , next step is to make it Windows 7 bootable by copying Windows 7 DVD contents.
Step-6: Copy the contents of your Windows 7/Vista installation disk into the USB flash drive.
That's it! Your USB stick is now ready to boot and install the OS for you. Don't forget to enable the USB Boot option and change the boot priority to USB device from hard disk in your BIOS settings.
Note : This method can be used even to install Windows 8 from pen drive

Earn money from forex without investing a single penny

First of all let me clear your doubt that Forex is not at all stocks trading .In stocks we deal with shares but here in forex we deal with currencies . Second thing is forex trading is much much bigger than stocks . If we combine all stock market of US including NYSE (New York stock Exchange ), even then Forex market's turnover is 30 times of this combination. Daily turnover of Forex market is 4 trillion USD . Now I think you can imagine what you gonna deal with ahead. This market is for all international citizens .You don't need to be from a certain country to do forex trading. But but but lemme also tell you please don't dream of being a millionaire in a night from forex. Keep patience , start learning first , do demo trading enough to make sure you are ready for live trading. I can guarantee you if you go by the rules of the market you will definitely be a satisfied individual who has got good money to atleast complete your basic needs. If you become pro in this you can be a millionaire . There are no limits of earning in forex market .You can even earn 1000USD by only investing 100 USD.
What exactly we do in forex trading? In the forex market, you buy or sell currencies. The object of forex trading is to exchange one currency for other. We have to guess the exchange rate and accordingly buy or sell currency . An exchange rate is simply the ratio of one currency valued against another currency. For example, the USD/CHF exchange rate indicates how many U.S. dollars can purchase one Swiss franc, or how many Swiss francs you need to buy one U.S. dollar.
Now the main question arises hot to start trading without investing your hard earned bucks. Answer lies here: There are certain forums out there which give you money (bonus) for trading . You trade from that money and if any profit is made over that bonus that's all yours. You just have to make posts in these forums . You will be getting 0.2 $ for a single 2 line post . From this posting accumulate around 200 USD in a month and you are ready for the go . I am talking about this method because you don't have to put your hard earned money at stake.
Please first learn forex . There are a lot of tutorials available over the net about forex trading for the noobs. Refer below sites if you want to start from scratch:
babypips.com/school
tradimo.com
forex4noobs.com
I am again saying please learn first . After that practice enough in demo trading and than only go for real trading. There will be chances that without learning enough ,or just gambling you will be able to make good money but you will not be able to survive for long in forex . Afterwards if you achieve pro level in forex trading you can invest from your pocket even.
Important : If anyone of you are interested in the forums who
Remember 95% of the people who trade in forex are unsuccessful because they just want to be a millionaire in a night . They gamble at starting and if because of pure fortune they earn something they continue it and one day they end up loosing whatever they earned in the long run . So it's my advice learn and then only earn in forex.
