I am not an iPhone fan but Steve Jobs was right that ‘Antennagate is not unique to iPhone 4′. In this video I’ve tested my old Nokia 6120c to demonstrate that it doesn’t work either if you hold it the wrong way (aka Death Grip) :p however I’ve used this phone for over two years but it never dropped a single call due to this issue.

The air you breathe is precious, and the farther from Earth’s surface you go, the less there is. But Earth’s atmosphere extends farther into space than you might realize, affecting the orbits of spacecraft more than 200 miles high.This infographic looks at what’s in the atmosphere, from way out there, to up where the clouds hang out, to right down here.

1. Drive in lower gears and higher RPM
2. Avoid reverse gear and try to keep the car in motion in water puddles
3. After driving through a pool of water, tap on your brake pedal lightly to dry off your brakes because wet brakes do not react as quickly as dry brakes.
4. Maintain good distance from the car… ahead
5.Have extensions for the exhaust pipes to keep them out of water pools
6. Avoid service lanes when flooded because you might not be aware of open manholes or bumps.
At last if you can’t see road signs or cars in front of you, consider pulling over and wait out the heavy rainfall.

37Signals leader and Rework author Jason Fried lays out the case for why so many people are working on nights and weekends—it’s the only time they can actually work. Too many offices have an environment where not immediately responding to an IM, an email, or an just-over-the-cubicle “Got a minute?” is seen as rude or un-team-like. Fried suggests creating a culture, even if it’s just a culture of one, in which work is valued, messages are replied to at sane intervals, and nobody has to do secret day-off work.

As we know HTC desire comes with great specs 1 GHz processor and 576 MB or Ram, I’ve done quick benchmark to compare it with upcoming Android 2.2 (Froyo) release. There are rumors that HTC will release Froyo for Desire in Q3 2010 and as demonstrated at Google IO 2010 Froyo is 2x to 5x times faster from its Predecessor (Eclair). I’ve used two free apps from market for this Benchmark, one is BenchmarkPi and other is Benchmark. When Froyo will be released I’ll use same apps to check whether its 2 – 5x times faster as promised or not.

=========================================
The speed of light in a vacuum is exactly 299,792,458 metres per second.
We live on a planet in our solar system, eight light minuts away from the sun.
Our sun is four light years away from our nearest star.
In our galaxy there are about 200 billions of stars.
Nearest galaxy is 2 million light years away.
Our group of galaxies is called the local group, containing over 30 galaxies.
This “local group” covers over 10 million light years in diameter.
The “local group” belongs to the Virgo supercluster of galaxies.
The Virgo supercluster is about 200 million light years in diameter.
The Great attractor is a “gravitational anomaly” somewhere in the Virgo supercluster, pulling the other galaxy groups towards the Hydra and Centaurus constellations.

Tying my shoes. No joke. I was nearly thirty years old before I learned that “right over left and left over right makes a bow that’s tidy and tight.” Thank you, Ian!
I was always taught (and believed) that putting salt into a pot of water will make it boil faster. Apparently that’s not the case, which I learned about a week ago
Nicholson Baker’s The Mezzanine has several examples of this. The one that changed my life is tucking your undershirt into your underwear before tucking your dress shirt into your pants. Through some magic of friction, your shirt won’t come untucked anymore.

After my Logitech MX310 died, I decided to go for an enthusiast class product, Luckily I had some bucks saved this month so… Razer! Only company where Gamers are Engineers and the way they name their products is MEGaLLANICALLY AWE S O M E.

I bought a Razer Abyssus. It is a lazer mouse with no optical red light sensor but a high precision 3.5G infrared sensor. It isn’t the most expensive one, but it has almost the best performance capabilities. It has no extra mouse buttons, just 3 of them. That’s simple!

Sony Ericsson, has launched its new satio. With the Satio, Sony Ericsson promised that it would take its excellent Cyber-shot camera phones and Walkman music phones, smash them up, and rebuild them into a super phone, the like of which has barely been dreamt possible. Well I think it’s time for a dream come true.
