I had few spare power adapters which I tried but it didn’t help starting my router (output of each adapter is different and it was not trigger the current flow in the device).

Then I started looking around for the new router for connecting all my wireless devices.
I tried the following routers
1) Linksys WRT54GS2 Wireless-G Broadband Router ==> Connection was intermittently breaking.

2) D-Link DIR-655 Extreme N Wireless Router ==> Range was less and I wasn’t getting full strength of signals on my iphone from 15 feets.

3) NETGEAR WNDR3300 RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Router ==> LED light is very annoying and connection keeps breaking.

4) Linksys WRT160N Wireless-N Router ==> I found this one good till now.

Few things to note:

• Most of my old wireless devices are on 802 b/g so that must be the reason why some of the wireless N router not performing as per their specifications.
• It could be internet service provider issue (comcast) but this variable is constant here and my previous router (wireless g router) was performing very well.
• My cable modem is Dlink and for maximum performance some companies recommend router to be of the same company.

I would strongly recommend to upgrade the firmware after installing wireless router.  Most of the times outdated and old version does not work that well. There are some expensive routers which I have not tried as there are others which serve the need for home network and does their work well.

I have seen no difference in performance between refurbished/re-certified/reconditioned and new one.  I would suggest not to be very picky about new one.

Xsights is one of the best solution I have came across recently. They provide solution to the degenerating printed media by transforming paper into internet. How? Using XSights publishers can use the convergence platform (convergence of mobile and print media) to provide a new life to newspaper. Their solution provides not only convergence of printed media with online world but at the same time enables the convergence of advertising sales force allowing cross media advertising campaign.

Publishers will use Xsight’s technology by providing hyperlinks in their printed content and readers will use their camera on their cell phone to view the interactive content. Check out the demo here

As mentioned by Seth Godin change in Operating System brought Microsoft Word into limelight and once ubiquitous WordPerfect is almost vanished now. Change is the rule of life where everyone participates and molds themselves. We can see change around us all the time – the way people are embracing Twitter, Facebook, Friendfeed, Blogs  is one of the example of how these tools are changing the way people disseminate news and information.

That’s why we saw influx of web 2.0 start ups in 2006-2008 where every other entrepreneur was selling/marketting their ideas (no matter how crappy was it). For example if we consider 100 web 2.0 application then 15 survives and 5 of them excel and become maas’s product and that brings the change which we adopt by using these products.

There is inherent Power in Change and one has to capitalize the moment to make use of the Change.
