Well i guess most of you must be knowing what it means...but for those dummies like me who knew megapixels but not in the context of cameras here it goes...
Consider a size 1280 pixels x 1024 pixels if u multiply that u get 1310720 pixels which is 1.3 mega pixel. So in short a 1.3 mega pixel camera means one which can capture photos of maximum size 1280 px x 1024 px.
A pixel is a dot of light and a megapixel is one million of these dots.
VGA is a resolution that means 640 pixels across and 480 pixels tall, resulting in an image that's 1/3 of a megapixel. So, a 1MP picture has three times as many dots making up the image. If the two pictures were of the same image, the 1MP version would usually have better detail.
Well dats a short lesson for all you dummies (lol) :)

Why is it called Google?
Have u ever wondered why is it called google...Well here is ur answer!!!
A “Googol” is a 1 followed by one hundred zeroes. Google founders Larry Page & Sergey Brin originally intended to call Google “googol”, but ended up with “Google” because of a spelling mistake on a cheque that investors wrote them! Isnt it amazing!!!

Why Is It Called BLUETOOTH?
Harald Bluetooth was king of Denmark in the late 900s. He managed to unite Denmark and part of Norway into a single kingdom then introduced Christianity into Denmark. He left a large monument, the Jelling rune stone, in memory of his parents. He was killed in 986 during a battle with his son, Svend Forkbeard. Choosing this name for the standard indicates how important companies from the Nordic region (nations including Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland) are to the communications industry.
In the beginning of the Bluetooth wireless technology era, Bluetooth was aimed at unifying the telecom and computing industries. It turns out that this particular King Harold was famous for getting warring factions to sit down at the negotiating table and talk to each other. Thus, making opposing teams talk to each other is what a Bluetooth does – both the 10th century king and the modern technology!
