The History of the Concept of Insurance

We all know that we must at least Buy Life Insurance to protect ourselves and at the same time provide coverage to our family members in case of anything goes bad. We all also know that the basis of insurance is "guarantee against loss", but how many of us really know when the concept really first started?

Way back the Babylonian times which is around 2100 B.C., the Code of Hammurabi was the first basic insurance policy. This policy was paid by the traders in the form of a loan to guarantee the safe arrival of their goods by caravan. Of course, caravans faced the same kind of perils our transportation industry faces today – like robbery, bad weather and breakdowns.

As history progressed, the needs for insurance increased. The Phoenicians and the Greeks wanted the same type of insurance with their seaborne commerce. The Romans were the first to have burial insurance – people joined burial clubs which paid funeral expenses to surviving family members. In medieval times, the guilds protected their members from loss by fire and shipwreck, paid ransoms to pirates, and provided respectable burials as well as support in times of sickness and poverty.

Of course, you can do some of your research and realize that the progress and evolution of insurance has always been the same...the need for a guarantee for protection.


Nowadays, insurance has become very organize and insurance company are coming out with new ruling that don't seems to happen in the past where Life Insurance No Exam required for understanding.


For those of you in the United States of America, 1-800-939-0710 is a toll free number where clients that are looking for Term Life Insurance in United States can get a free insurance quote.

You will probably be able to find this from the Celcom webpage. If you are indeed a Blackberry fan, this is probably one of the must get it Blackberry as it is dubbed as the best Blackberry ever at the moment. However, it is quite a disappointing especially with reviewers from Engadgets mentioning that the best of Blackberry might not be good enough against the other top notched smartphone. However, if you are one of the professionals who need emailing, and love to get into social networking as well, this Blackberry is a must for you. 




Yes, you may be a professional but it will definitely be cool to be able to watch social media while you are resting. This is what Blackberry Torch is capable of especially since it has 8GB memory and also expandable up to 32GB with a microSD card. There is also the pinch and zoom effect. 


Well, this is also the first Blackberry phone with 5MP camera and with LED flash as well, this will definitely help you capture memorable moments. There is also the continuous auto-focus and let's not forget about the image stabilization feature. Video recording is also available...you could easily capture spontaneous moments. 




Social network, social network...this is something that has become a trend. Young business entrepenuers and professionals would love the feature that is in the Blackberry. Integrated social feeds...facebook, twitter, LinkedIn and many others...image the ability to gather and filter all the social network and RSS feeds in one view....(well, we know that this is something that iPhone, Android and Windows Phone 7 are capable of as well....of course, not to forget Nokia which is using the Symbian OS). Nevertheless, this feature in Blackberry is still something that makes it as competitive as the other top smartphones available in the market now. 


Browsing on the internet is smooth and enriching. This is definitely important whether you are using it for business purposes or not. 


Well, this is Blackberry we are talking about....so the best feature as we all know is none other than the email and text messages. With the Blackberry Torch, you could enjoy on the go email. Now this is very important nowadays even if you are not working. Most university students including myself need to check email constantly for part time work updates, assignments, and many other jobs that require emailing. Well, we all know why is the email so strong in the Blackberry...the Push technology so this is something that is going to attract people. 

Other than that, we have the Voice notes available...text and sms becomes easy since the Blackberry Torch has the QWERTY keyboard as well. 
Besides the design alone, the Universal Search feature available on Blackberry Torch is making it an extraordinary and wonderful smartphone. The Blackberry that must be owned I would say.

At the moment, we have the plans from Celcom which are quite attractive especially if you are a business user. Blackberry Torch in Celcom will definitely be an interesting package given that it is launched much faster than Digi and maybe Maxis as well. 

If you are sick of the iPhone and iPhone look alike smartphones, Blackberry is definitely the one...a different and unique kind in comparison to the others. Probably another smartphone that is trying a different approach just as Blackberry RIM did is the Windows Phone 7...that will be left for another story though. Are you planning for a new smartphone?? If you are, Blackberry Torch might just be the right one for you. 
The crazy deals offered by Celcom is definitely a worthy one given that this is the smartphone intended for business, and it is at an affordable price that you could not find elsewhere (given that Digi and other Telcos have yet to offer their plans.)

If you are a lover of movies, then you will be lucky to get 2 GSC movie tickets as well if you purchase the phone from any Blue cube outlet. 

For those of you who are not keen on another contracts under another Telco, you could also buy the Blackberry Torch with a special price at RM2,188....too expensive? Well, at least it's cheaper than iPhone 4 and most of the other top Android smartphones...we have yet to hear from Maxis regarding the Windows Phone 7 packages. 


So, come on...Blackberry lovers and fans...go get the best one from Celcom...be among the first to own it and show it off in front of the Apple fanatics!!

gadgets...something to follow??

If you are one of those geeks who are into new gadgets, you will probably feel that there are a bit too much to follow these days. Just the other day when we heard about the Samsung Galaxy Tab, we have the Blackberry Playbook, and let us not forget about the rumour of the upcoming Ipad generation 2. Well, we also heard that Microsoft is going to launch their tablet pc based on Windows phone 7 soon. If you think that this is only the war between tablets, what about cameras? You probably be seeing new models coming out monthly. 
It is hard to imagine how young people are going to follow up with all these. Just about a month ago, we have the iPhone 4...now we are hearing about iPhone 5. and don't forget that HTC also has their own superphone coming, the HTC Desire HD. 
Well, we also have the Microsoft company rebooting their mobile OS with Windows Phone 7. Reviews have been good and it seems that each of these devices are lacking something. It probably mean that there are too much models to choose from...as more Android smartphones are also on the rise. 
The competition is tight and more gadgets are coming up. 

The question remains is this: are these gadgets gonna make mobility a convenience or simply a cool factor? The other day I was pondering on a new phone for myself but I couldn't really make up my mind due to the vast options available. At the end of the day, it is important to know which gadgets suit you and is it worth it to buy a gadget that probably would be out of date in the coming year? 

I am considering buying the Samsung Galaxy Tab but with the heavy price tag, I might eventually opt to buy a cheaper smartphone instead. I know a lot of people have been talking about Apple products but seriously, the Apple products ain't my first options....after all, with the antenna issues, I don't think I will splash my cash on the new iphone 4....after all, there might just be something new in the coming months...are you following?? Maybe that's why the Windows Phone 7 ads are actually quite revelant these days....if you have time, go and view it...i might be blogging on that soon...
