Its been a month since I got my HTC Desire. Sometimes you want to take Screenshots, like to share your high scores in Doodle Jump on Social Networks, Taking screenshot on Android is not easy and requires low level OS access because of security reasons, for now there are only two ways to take screenshots on HTC Desire
1. Use a Rooted Phone, If you have rooted your phone you can use ShootMe app from market to take screenshots. I’ve not yet rooted my phone so I’ve to use other way.
2. Use Android Sdk and USB cable.
This method involves a few steps but once you’ve completed the setup, taking future screenshots is very easy.

Never buy anything without at least 2 weeks of thinking and many hours of research, THEY say! but don’t think too much or you’ll never be able to buy it.
This is a delayed review, I bought this monitor probably 5 months ago. I wanted to use it before I could write how good or bad it is. I was using a 60Ton branded 21” CRT monitor and I used to move that with help of at least two or more people. I might find a photo of my old CRT which I’ll be happy to show to anyone if requested.
Here is DELL S2409W 24” 1080p Full HD LCD Monitor.
Buying an LCD for me wasn’t very easy as I had to decide between Samsung and DELL. Samsung has the most pretty outlook and finish and DELL has quality and more built-in features. The two models, actually three; two of which were Samsung are listed after a Jump.

Pakistan is a country with rich culture, traditions and history. Often depicted negatively in Western media, The truth is that Pakistan is a peaceful country where people love celebration, food and living a peaceful life without any interference! Unfortunately, Pakistan is the biggest victim of national and international terrorism, Bomb blasts by Taliban and then Drone attacks by USA. Its a two-way issue. God save this beautiful country and its people from these incompetent Politicians and enemies. Ameen. Otherwise, a country with more than 4 weathers in one year and rich soil capable of making Gold can be a nation worth mentioning as one of the best in History.

If you have not yet, Read Steve Jobs “Thoughts on Flash”, an Open letter to Adobe on Why Apple isn’t supporting Adobe Flash for its hand-held gadgets. Apple banned the use of applications that were made in Flash. In Short here is what Steve Jobs said
Steve Jobs claims Flash drains the battery of mobile devices; it’s not very good for multi-touch operation; and its performance, reliability and security are all shoddy. It’s also a proprietary system, and while Jobs admits that their mobile OS is also proprietary, he claims that web standards should be open, like HTML5, CSS and JavaScript.
Most importantly Apple doesn’t want “a third party layer of software [to] come between the platform and the developer.” Finally, Jobs concludes, Flash is a relic. “Flash was created during the PC era –- for PCs and mice,” he says, “but the mobile era is about low power devices, touch interfaces and open web standards –- all areas where Flash falls short.”
Apple’s decision to ban applications developed in Flash from its products has sparked a furious war of words with Adobe – but it still isn’t clear which company has the most to lose. The restrictions were slipped into the license agreement for the iPhone OS 4 developer kit and demand that "applications must be originally written in Objective-C, C, C++ or javaScript", with "intermediary translation or compatibility layers"explicitly prohibited. The announcement coincided with the launch of Adobe Creative Suite 5, which includes a packaging toot that allows Flash developers to port their apps to the iPhone. Adobe has confirmed that it has abandoned development of the feature, with feelings running high within the company.

Today I bought Corsair Voyager Mini USB Flash Drive 4 GB. I was going to buy Flash Voyager but it was not available, s
o I end up buying this one. I am going to use it for playing mp3s in my ride on Kenwood KDC-MP543U Recevier.
Design & Usability:
If you’ve previously owned a Corsair product from the Voyager USB flash drive product line you’ll be immediately familiar with the rubberized look and feel of this drive. The Voyager Mini uses an all-rubber housing, just like the Flash Voyager, to protect the data placed on it against severe temperature, moisture, or physical abuse.
