Jio Phone Comes With Dedicated Rs. 153 Plan; Jio Phone TV-Cable Announced Too

With the JioPhone finally launched, there is a lot of excitement in the market to see whether the handset would be emulate the success of the Reliance Jio telecom venture. A lot of the attention is being bestowed upon the "effective price" of Rs. 0 that Mukesh Ambani announced at the event, which - coupled with the features that the Jio phone boasts of - makes it a deal worth checking out for all feature phone users. But that's not all, as the company also launched a dedicated Rs. 153 Jio plan for JioPhone buyers that provides them all the benefits of the plans released for smartphones, but at roughly half the price.


The new Rs. 153 Jio recharge pack with 28-day validity offers unlimited 4G Internet access; high-speed Internet is limited to 500MB per day, after which the speed would drop. SMSs, and calls are free on the network with this pack, and users will also get access to Jio apps. The plan should be available to purchase on August 15 for beta testers of the device.

Jio Phone TV-Cable

The Rs. 153 plan, however, was not the only one announced for the Jio phone - there is another plan that comes with a bundled accessory. The accessory is the JioPhone-TV Cable, which can mirror content playing on apps such as JioTV and JioCinema on the phone onto a TV. This cable will be play to play videos on both modern and legacy CRT television sets. Subscribers of Jio Dhan Dhana Dhan Plan, who pay Rs. 309 every month, will be able to use the service via the Jio Phone TV-Cable.
In addition, Mukesh Ambani also announced two sachets - available at Rs. 24 for two days of data usage, and Rs. 54 for a week-worth use - that JioPhone users could opt for should they need additional data or data just for a limited period time.

Of course, you will have to wait for August 24 to be able to pre-book a JioPhone using the MyJio app or from a Jio retailer, and the handset won't go on sale till September. Though introduced as free of cost, you will need to pay an upfront price of Rs. 1,500 to get your hands on the device, though this sum is refundable at the end of three years.

How to Create, Edit, Delete WhatsApp Status Updates

                                            When WhatsApp turned eight in February, it has launched a new feature that seems to be pointing to a future where the app moves away from text messages, and relies much more heavily on photos and short videos - the ephemeral status update. This newest feature from the Facebook owned messaging company bears more than a passing resemblance to social rival Snapchat, and the update hasn't just added a new tab for the status in the menu on top of your screen, but also a camera button right in the middle of things, which can be used to update your status, or a contact, or group. It's an exciting change, and it's really straightforward too, but in case you have any doubts about how to use the feature, here's what you need to know about the revamped WhatsApp Status updates.

Ntfs Cluster Size, better harddrive performance

Cluster is an computer memory unit . If you create file let's imagine 1 byte in size, a minimum of one cluster should be allocated on FAT filing system . On NTFS if file is little enough, it are often stored in MFT record itself without using additional clusters. When file grows beyond the cluster boundary, another cluster is allocated. It means the larger the cluster size, the more disc space is wasted, however, the performance is best . So if you've got an outsizes disk drive & don't mind wasting some space, format it with a bigger cluster size to realise added performance. The following table shows the default values that Windows NT/2000/XP uses for NTFS formatting: Drive size (logical volume) Cluster size Sectors ---------------------------------------------------------- 512 MB or less 512 bytes 1 513 MB - 1,024 MB (1 GB) 1,024 bytes (1 KB) 2 1,025 MB - 2,048 MB (2 GB) 2,048 bytes (2 KB) 4 2,049 MB and bigger 4,096 bytes (4 KB) 8 However, once you format the partiti...
