PC game: Grave Mania- Undead Fever review

Pros and cons of Grave Mania- Undead Fever
Pros: Cute graphics, upgrades carry over to next level
Cons: Inconsistent game play, short games in between break your quest flow, difficulty level increases suddenly from basic to high.

Detailed game review of Grave Mania- Undead Fever

Spooky games are always interesting and amusing as the cool graphics and the spooky storyline will always keep you glued. Grave mania- undead fever is one game that sticks to this genre but its high handed difficulty makes it a very tough nut to crack. Let us now have a peek over the insights of the game.

Zombie, Inc. review- time management game

Storming the streets when the sun goes down, with a motive of fulfilling the basic need of survival, the need to eat... With pale, white skin and blank eyes, these half dead creatures roam around in the search of human flesh... feeding to their very sustenance, bringing about the apocalypse of the world.

Basically, Zombies Inc. is a time management strategy game, about the walking dead coming into business, very frightening thought of two deadly combinations. This game has been introduced by Athos Games.

iOS game Kingdoms of Camelot: Battle for the North review

Facebook gamers will be familiar with the game Kingdoms of Camelot: Battle for the North. It is a hardcore action game with slow paced strategy and that's enough to say that it has succeeded in attracting a good following over a number of years. The game is quite similar to Evony and is now available as an upgrade on the iOS with the title Kingdoms of Camelot: Battle for the North. There is no change in the game play and most of the story remains the same except for the fact that it is now available on mobile devices. That said, Kingdoms of Camelot is not a easy game even for new players.

House of 1000 doors hands-on review

Pros: Varied location design, easy navigation, clear objectives, complex puzzle design
Cons: Ghost rescue not an original idea, bonus chapter feels forced on game narration
Price:$13.99

As any successful author and they will tell you that more than failure it is the success that bugs them. House of 1000 Doors: Family Secrets is a rescue missions to save the dead- the haunted souls. It is a hidden object adventure of one player who actually is a writer. There is nothing path breaking in this game but yeah, it is one of the good games with intricately designed interface and gameplay.

Best institutes and subjects for CDAC and placement opportunities

CDAC (Center for Development of Advance Computing) is a Government established program which is both a research center and a training institute. With its center at Pune and branches across Indian, CDAC has a became a preferred choice for students of Engineering and MCA to get excellent placement opportunities in case they are not able to get them from then Bachelor or Master’s degree program. It is also a good choice for professionals who want to improve their resume by adding a plethora of programming languages in their skill set. Let’s see the best CDAC Intitutes (Those highlighted in red color are placement centers):

  1. Banglore (Knowledge Park)- Pune might be the center of CDAC but due to the presence of more programming related industries in the area and the southern habit of making you work like anything, Banglore has the best placements. Please do note that CDAC was started with the “DAC” course and even now the main focus of CDAC is on DAC only. DAC department is given the best faculty and all efforts of the institute are focused on them, be it placement or teaching. This is the same for all CDAC institutes. Classes are of around 9 hours starting from 9 AM in the morning and you won't get any holiday except of national holidays.
  2. Pune- Pune being the headquarter and present in south, the southern culture makes the students work like anything. You will be having classes from 9 AM in the morning to anywhere till 8-9 PM all 7 days of the week. Holidays will be rare and you should expect them only during national holidays.
  3. Hyderabad- Hyderabad is also a IT hub and will get you excellent placements. Present in south the students are given a heavy toll of work just like in Banglore and Pune.
  4. Banglore- The second branch of CDAC in Banglore also gets the benefit of many IT industries present in south and again the southern culture of studying.
  5. Noida- CDAC Noida is also present in industrial area and is one of the placement centers. However, the placement scenario is not as good as other CDAC centers mentioned above. DAC department February 2013 batch got around 10 placements and other departments excluding the Embedded department had almost negligible placements. Embedded department had around 50% placement track courtesy a number of embedded industries located in Noida and Gurgaon. This center has Saturday and Sunday off with the class timing from 9.30 AM to 5 PM.
Other CDAC centers and affiliated institutes have very less placement track though but if you do want to join one of them I would suggest you preferably go for the southern centers rather than the other ones. Similarly, CDAC centers are to be preferred rather than the affiliated centers.

Subjects to select

If you are just going for placements then DAC is the subject to go for. CDAC doesn't put much efforts in the other branches and that is the reason for poor performance of these branches. If you are really interested in some other subject then you will have to make it amongst the toppers of the class and become efficient in programming to get any chances of placement.
Embedded in another good field to go for. Integrated VLSI and Embedded is a tough field because it covers 2 subjects and it is quite difficult to cover these 2 subjects in 6 months. Effectively, there is only 4.5 or 4 months of study in CDAC with the rest devoted to exams and project time.

Placement opportunities

Placement opportunities have been talked about in the center listing itself. As for the companies, CDAC offers the companies trained professionals which require very less training from the company side to get them started in the job. This is the reason why companies prefer to employ good candidates from CDAC centers. Many famous IT companies like TATA, Infy, etc come to CDAC centers. The main focus of these companies the knowledge of the students in C, C++ and Java. It is important to keep a focus of Aptitude too as most companies have this test as the first shortlisting method. Company list is more center specific and changes with every batch and if you are in the first 4 centers mentioned above, you need not worry about the companies but should just focus on becoming as efficient in programming as possible.

Why NDA should avoid selecting Narendra Modi as its Prime Ministerial candidate

Let me make it sufficiently clear in the start itself that I am an ardent supported of any political party. I am just a 22 year old getting his first chance to vote in the Indian election system. And my first voting experience will be directly for the highest power center in our country- the Indian Parliament. I want to support a party, which is led by a leader with a modernistic and logical approach; one whom I can proudly say is the leader of our country. And this, is where my problem starts with the present CM of Gujrat, Shri Narendra Modi being presented as the leader of the party which I was hoping to vote for after the poor performance of Congress. It's not that I was hoping for some landmark changes during the tenure of NDA, it is just that I am tired of the corruption charges that have come for the UPA-2. And yeah, I am not a big fan for dynastic politics either. With most chances being Rahul Gandhi becoming the PM in case UPA wins, I am not at all interested in voting for Congress.

Where and how to check the status of your DMCA application at Google Webmasters-DMCA Dashboard

If you have been in the field of publishing original content online or in simple terms blogging actively for sometime now and more importantly have attracted the attention of numerous readers by your good quality content and high authority website, then you must have faced situations where people copy your content.
It is no different for me and especially since I work on revenue sharing website as a Manager where I am responsible for checking other people's article for copied content and other Google Webmaster quality guidelines I come across many such instances where I find other people copying the content from our authors. Now, since we have to approve the articles at our sites and we face some practical problems due to which we can't rely on our authors to file the DMCA with Google correctly, we Managers ourselves file the DMCAs as legal representatives of the owner of this website.
Now, the problem I used to face was that sometimes there was no reply mail from Google's side and I would get stuck about the status of my application. I had seen the Dashboard of Google and I knew that I could find the status of my application there but the problem was how to open that Dashboard. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't find the link to the Google DMCA Dashboard anywhere. I need to add here that I did not remember the word "Dashboard" while searching for it and was typing sentences in Google search like "DMCA Google status" "Status of Google DMCA application" "Copy complain Google DMCA status" and a few more search terms like this but was not able to find it. I even searched the Webmaster tools of Google but even that does not contains the link to it.
Anyhow, just out of nowhere I luckily remembers the word "Dashboard" and when I typed "Google DMCA Dashboard", the link to the page came as the first result. So I thought why not to help my fellow bloggers in finding this precious page easily and free them from the struggle of finding this page. So here is the link to the page of Google DMCA Dashboard which if will find useful now or later if you continue to follow you passion of blogging and continue creating original and quality content for your readers.
