Corning Gorilla Glass

Corning is a company that has been producing glass screens since 1950, and since 2005, it started making screens for smartphones. It claimed fame with iphones started coming out with Gorilla glass screens, with rest of smartphone manufacturers like Samsung, HTC adopting it.

These screens are better scratch resistant and break resistant. The latest one is Gorilla Glass-3, and the above is a video of Gorilla Glass-4, which is much tougher than Gorilla Glass-3.

Gorilla Glass is patented by Corning. Saphire displays are competitive to Gorilla Glasses but they cost 10 times more than Gorilla glass, and hence smart phone manufacturers may stick to Gorilla Glass, in the near future, unless the cost of making saphire displays comes down.

But, Saphire is already being used in latest Apple iphones since iphone-5, for Camera screen and start button.

Good website for applying jobs - Hirist.com

Recently been reviewing various websites that will help techies find jobs and I find hirist.com, better than all. The reason being simple interfacing, and what ever is required only appears on screen. For example the menus contain, C++ jobs, Java jobs which will directly open the related job postings. Also there are filters like 1-3 years, 3-5 years, along with location filters, it simply is too good.

And you can multiple jobs at a time by clicking the checkboxes and hit submit. And what's awesome is, it tells you whether recruiter viewed your profile, moved it for future use or not what he is looking for. Fast and Easy, simple and reliable

One Plus Phone

For 299$, you cannot get a Nexus or iphone, but a way better phone in the form of OnePlus, that outperforms both the said flagship phones with a huge margin.

Except for the screen size which is 5.5 inch, this phone has all the things, which are best. For example, it's 13 MP back camera with Sony Exmor sensor and six lenses is the best in it's category. Also, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor is the most latest in market. For graphics, there is Adreno 330 GPU and it runs on Android Kitkat, upgradable to later versions. Coming from Cyanogen mod developers, who used to release custom Android for better performances, this phone stands upto it's tagline "Flagship Killer"
