A country and preparation for Calamity

There was an earthquake in Nepal this year 25th of April American time. The results were devastating. Almost three thousand dead, lots more injured. Last time people said, such disaster occurred in Haiti and the number of people who died were lot less then those who were injured.

At first it felt good that, the number of people dead is less then the number of people injured. But when we really think about it, such number suggests a lack of preparation and standards. There were almost a hundred after shocks of earthquakes of 4, 5 or 6 rector scales. Its been almost two days and people are still afraid to go inside their own houses. Most of them are living in tents, but the tents are not enough to accommodate everyone. The food is scarce. the prices have tripled, some people fighting for food was captured(which probably may be made up by some channels), Nepal-quake being the tagline of the days, headlines of the major news channels, telephone networks being busy, services like skype, viber, ATnT providing free calls to Nepal, hospitals being full of patients, news of countries sending food and rescue soldiers to Nepal, People all over the world praying for the well being of the People of Nepal.

Things I want in an Ideal Laptop

Well, my Laptop is getting older and I can feel it. It still does a lot though. Recently I found out that its CPU does not have virtualization capacity which is required for the android emulators for better performance. So I started looking for other laptops as well. Last time I bought a laptop, it's been five years, and frankly I did no research nor I had any Idea what to look for in a laptop back then. I didn't know what processor is, what WI-FI is, why is resolution important, What size should I buy, Why are weights important for a Laptop, What is the difference between the different USB technologies, What is SSD, etc. Now that I have spent lots of time with Laptops and computer system, I know What I want in an Ideal Laptop.
