Recently i read an interesting article regarding city based domain name !!! Yes, its city based domain extensions. ICANN would be allowing new top-level domain names registered ending in whatever the registrants want to have…. Good new but it’s just on paper as of now !!!

We all know that “On web we have domain extension .de for Germany and .fr is for France, similarly we can have city specific generic domain names like .nyc to be for New York City” etc………. hence if such gTLD gets live on web there would be an revolution in domain name industry and would surely help local business owners. We can just imagine the benefit web business owners can have if such city specific domains extension gets into reality, If would are planning to offer local service then such domain extension would be a great help.

Connecting.nyc Inc. is a not-for profit organization founded to acquire and develop the .NYC TLD. It ask web users to sign a petition and this way to support the campaign. New York City based entity may win a battle decide to make NYC the world’s first city that has its own top-level domain. This would be .NYC web address. It should be opened for registration for U.S. national brands, New York businesses.
But unfortunately NewYork City is still exploring options for .nyc domain name. and ICCAN have not still approved their request.
We can expect many more such new TLDs emerging in few years which would be more targetted towards relevant industry / business, geographical location.

nTLDs: (new Top Level Domains)
ICANN is trying to offer new TLD namespace with virtually anything availalble on earth. You can refer following list though not a complete or 100% accurate, many applicants have already identified themselves as a nTLD

* .RADIO
* .ECO (Ecological)
* .GREEN (Ecological)
* .MOVIE (Movie/Film Industry)
* .FAM (Family)
* .MUSIC (Music)
* .HEALTH (dot health)
* .SPORT (dot Sport)
* .INDIGI (for indigenous peoples)
* .NYC (New York City)
* .BERLIN (Berlin Germany)
* .PARIS (Paris France)
* .BZH (Brittany, a region in France)
* .ENG (England, a kingdom in the U.K.)
* .GAL (Galicia, a region in Spain)
* .MED (Mediterranean)
* .LLI (Leonese Language and Leonese Culture)
* .GAY
* .WEB
* .POST
* .MAIL (for emails and to control spam)
* .GEO (generic geographical locations)
* .XXX (Adult Entertainment)
* .BCN (Barcelona)
* .LAT (Latin America)

Well, you can think of this list to grow continuously. Additionally, there are clearly some nTLDs applications essentially competing for the same theme or market.

Battery backup is one of the key things for a notebook/laptop. Most people strongly believe that battery backup is only affected by the number of cells in your battery. Which is true, but at the same time there some easy things you can do to ensure that you get the most out of your notebook battery.

Here are some tips which you may find helpful to get 100% out of your laptop/notebook..

• Reduce the brightness: Display alone consumes more battery than the rest of your laptop. So if you need to increase the battery backup time it is a good idea to reduce the brightness of your display. Reduce the brightness to a level where you are comfortable & it does not strain your eyes.
• Switch off wireless: Every laptop today features wireless connectivity & wireless radios consume energy. Be it Blue-tooth or Wi-Fi everything requires power, so be choosy about what you want & switch off the unwanted. Most laptops come with a dedicated button exactly for this reason. Besides the battery it would also ensure that your device is more secure.
• No multitasking: If you are working on many applications at the same time on your laptop, the memory & CPU usage increases. This in turn increases the power requirement of your laptop. Close any applications you aren’t using. It is more efficient to run a single application at a time, then close it & open a new one when you want to work on something else.
• Reduce the performance: If you have to do general computing while traveling then you don’t need high performance. So to make your laptop utilize the battery in the best possible manner, keep your laptop on balanced or battery saver mode. You can change the power settings by clicking the battery icon on the task bar & then selecting power saver or balanced from the options.
• Remove external devices: External devices like an external hard disc drive or your internet data card or even you flash drives, all require power to function, which is drawn from your laptop. As long as you are connected to a power source it is ok to use these but while your laptop is on battery, try minimizing the usage of external devices.

Good luck & happy power saving
