Video Streaming: Lighter. Faster. Better



Image result for buffering

Of late I have begun streaming few video's on my mobile. Though it offers convenience the speed and quality of viewing is good, it leaves a lot to be desired. The buffering does not help either. That set me thinking. The idea though not a stroke of anything genius, is something worth considering. And I am sure that I am not the only person to have thought about it.

Was just wondering if a video format which is lighter, faster and better to stream on any device be it mobile, tablets or pcs could be made. A format which can run with amazing clarity and lightening speed without requiring the 3Gs and 4Gs and also keeps the data consumption to minimum. I may be asking for too much...but does better quality have to mean more data or more GB's..why not make it easy to transfer, stream and play on the go. If this does happen the volumes will automatically drive the data consumption. Today at least in countries like India one has to think about data charges, cry about buffering and speed and quality of viewing may not be really pleasing.

So a idea worth giving thought.....and I strongly believe anyone who does crack the code will open floodgate of avenues and opportunities for businesses especially for those in media and entertainment.

My First Salary

Can people share their experience about the first salary. For many people the first salary is really special and a moment to cherish, a stepping stone to achieving their dreams. To spending the money on themselves, to treating friends, to offering it to their parents, to some investing it...varied people have varied ways of celebrating the moment special. Probably the website can help people connect with each other and share what they actually did with their first salary. They can also act as mentor / counsel to others about what they need to do to earn their rightful first salary. How to negotiate, how to deal with the anxiety of being the first timer and other such insights which can be really helpful. Worth a thought but however needs to be explored further to bring it into reality.

On unemployment

How about an site on unemployment? On the same lines like my first salary (one of my earlier posts) why can't there be a website that lets people talk about unemployment. People will share their experiences about how they came to deal with a topic that is looked upon as a taboo and social stigma rather something which is a harsh reality of life or business need. Unemployment could be further categorized into those who have not been able to get any employment for whatsoever reason and those who have been employed / were entrepreneurs / businessmen before exigencies or circumstances pushed them into unemployment. Their viewpoints and experience sharing could help someone gain new perspectives and possibly avoid the same mistake and encourage others to take different route. I know this would be easier said than done. It would be big challenge to come out in the open talk about the challenges and distress caused due to unemployment but if something good is going to come out of it...

Eco Friendly Crackers and Fireworks

So much so for the pro and anti Diwali campaign. Both arguments are strong point of views. However much to my amusement in all the arguments and counter arguments, never did I once across someone proposing a solution or taking the trouble to find way out. If we can have eco-friendly food, manufacturing, automobiles, even Ganpati festival with eco friendly idols and a hell lot of other things then why not eco-friendly crackers & Fireworks - which keep the joy of Diwali intact and reduce the impact on environment. Though initially may prove cost intensive but given the scale at which it is celebrated it won't be difficult to break even. I believe there are few option that do exists they need to be promoted, given sops and taken to the masses. Hoping to see a environment friendly Diwali...may the festival lights keeping lighting our lives with joy. Few things in the offing: http://www.deccanherald.com/content/200003/firecrackers-go-green-diwali.html http://timesofin...
