Use Airplane mode when appropriate
If you don’t need phone or Internet access (when you’re simply listening to music or watching a movie and don’t want to be interrupted, for instance), consider put your iPhone in Airplane mode. This will shut off several internal components, dramatically increasing overall battery life.

Check settings, turn off functions
Use the Settings application to turn off any features you aren’t using. If, for instance, you’re in an area without accessible Wi-Fi hotspots, tap on Wi-Fi and drag the slider to Off. If you’re not using Bluetooth, tap General, then Bluetooth and slide the function to Off.

I stumbled upon fleet’s website accidentally while I was writing an article a few months back .. and when i heard about MYFC I really like the idea, waited a few weeks and finally purchased the club today

As of now my team is sitting just 6 points outside the play off-zones, which looks more than getable as the teams we are up against are low in the league and in the relegation zone. And the future looks quite promising. More details when i have the time..

uTorrent is the best file sharing software out there in my opinion, however with this update, there are concerns about uTorrent spying on its user’s download activities on behalf of RIAA/MPAA. That is not true, it monitors your download activity just in case your dowloading something that might not be DRM’d for your own protection. DRM is only there to save you from yourselves… DRM means high-quality, full-length content.

And here’s something funny I picked from the replies in a discussion from the source..

And it’s not just for your own personal safety, you selfish losers. It’s to stop communism, everyone knows that P2P and especially the “popular” uTorrent are used by Russian ultranationalists trying to corrupt the rest of the world by injecting the concept of “sharing” stuff that no one owns - that’s absoloutely unamerican!

You can’t criticize DRM and most certainly not the RIAA/MPAA, because they’re doing it for national security reasons as their upcoming lawsuits will reveal:

Judge: And where is the evidence of theft?
RIAA Counsler: Your Honor, seeing as this is a matter of national security and the freedom of capitalim and democracy is at stake, The Patriot Act clearly states you have no right to this evidence!

So, it is official then. Apple is at war with its own users! In the history of the company this is the first instance when the company has takes such a step to protect its propaganda!! I for one apple fan detest the move which is obviously pushed by AT&T. For the general public good let’s hope some noble hacker is able to see the better of these two companies. The funny things is, the update is also adversely affecting untouched, unmodified and locked iPhones.Users who have faithfully used the iPhone with AT&T plans are also complaining of the same problem. If you have unlocked your iPhone (or for that matter haven’t) I suggest you do not update the firmware as it is of no good use and can only cause unwanted issues.

An Apple software update is disabling iPhones that have been unlocked by owners who wanted to choose which mobile network to use.

Earlier this week Apple said a planned update would leave the device “permanently inoperable”.

Thousands of iPhone owners hacked their expensive gadget in order to unlock it for use with other mobile carriers and to run a host of unsupported programs.

Gmail was found to have a critical vulnerable spot for the second time this week. This vulnerability allows malicious websites to add a filter to your Gmail account and have all your emails forwarded to wherever they wish!! Gmail which is still in beta has been highly successful and very popular among email users across the globe seems to be on its way to an upgrade, hopefully they will have all vulnerabilities fixed and end users will have a more secure back-end and an even more powerful interface once the new Google mail or the Gmail is released to the general public.

Here’s one very cool app thats worth waiting .. or is it! It is more or less an Alt+tab replacement, but a very good one. A firm based in Australia has come up with this cool 360 desktop which makes a desktop 360 in the real sense .. 360Desktop is a startup that reorganizes the standard Windows desktop into a panoramic, revolving pane of glass thousands of pixels long. So, you can now have a street of New York or Venice as your background and move along with it.. instead of just a static screen with a wallpaper.

Although the concept is not really new and seems to be somewhat inspired from multiple desktop apps, some might claim its ported directly from Fusion on GNU/Linux(quite similar to the cube) which run on basic GPUs. If the firm decides to keep it Windows only, i believe it will be the one thing that is going to make a Windows PC much more cool(r) than a Apple Mac, yep it that good.. try it and you agree too, although you might have to wait until the company releases the software to general public in the next few days just like everyone else.

Just wondering what kind of graphic and minimum hardware requirements this app would have.. no mention of that anywhere yet! And come to think of what 360 desktop is up against.. its not really that cool, lemme tell you what im talking about, check out CompFiz Fusion here, Looking Glass (needs to be implemented properly) and SphereXP.

Here’s the Full Story @ InfoWeek, below is an excerpt -

360Desktop is a startup that reorganizes the standard Windows desktop into a panoramic, revolving pane of glass thousands of pixels long. 360Desktop is due to debut Wednesday at the DemoFall 2007 show in San Diego. While not for everybody, this reorganization of the desktop opens the door to many additional user interface elements beyond the stack of icons currently found on a typical Microsoft Office desktop, Evan Jones, CEO of the Melbourne, Australia, firm, said in an interview.

If you are a regular internet user, you probably use the word google like a verb as a synonym for search or find just like millions others! That’s how much effect google has had on each one of our lives. From Bill Gates to a resident in a remote Ghana village, Steve Jobs to a fresh green apple vendor in India and George Bush to Parvez Musharraf and a thug or Bin Laden, everyone on earth is somehow or the other linked to Google. Google knows what people had for their breakfast, google knows where someone can be found at a given point of time and google knows who your friends are, the possibilities are remarkably huge in number. Yeah so what m saying is the world wouldn’t have been the same without google. I love you Google and i’ll forever be a fanboy of all the products that you shall create and even the ones that ppl may rumor about (google phone anyone?):D

Two weeks ago, AFP informed us that “Google, at age 10, is the official heart of the Internet. Born 10 years ago, the Google Internet search engine has grown into the electronic center of human knowledge by indexing billions of web pages as well as images, books and videos.” That’s true, except that Google is 9 years old. Even if Larry Page and Sergey Brin registered the google.com domain in 1997, Google was officially launched one year later.

Microsoft is all set to take on the television business with its latest product the Windows Media Center Internet TV, although it is just an upgrade or an added feature for the Vista Platform this looks like its just the tip of the iceberg in the software giant’s plans which has made its plans expand in new directions very evident. The launch is scheduled for tommorrow according to engadget.

A report by Mess.be reveals that there is yet another new exploit in Windows Live Messenger that makes sharing folders vulnerable to buffer overflow and remote exploitation. I personally have never used the sharing folders feature in Windows Live Messenger. There really is no point in having a sharing folder with a person in your friend list unless and until you trust them beyond doubts and if you do so theres always a risk that someone might use their system to access your sharing folders and make it unusable. If you really need to share files with someone across the internet use services like eSnips.com, Rapidshare.com, Megaupload.com or Megashares.com for that matter which are faster and way too safer. As for the sharing folders- I suggest, you disable the sharing folders right after you install Windows Live Messenger. This new exploit was just in the waiting …. I hope there will be a fix soon for unsuspecting users..

How to Disable Sharing Folders:

Go to Tools -> Options -> Select ‘Sharing Folders’ from the left menu, then on the right panel un-select the check-box on top that says, “Use a sharing folder when I drag a file onto a contacts name in my contact list.”

The report from Mess.be-

Even though the recent webcam vulnerability in MSN/Windows Live Messenger was only just addressed, another exploitable bug has already surfaced. This time it’s a buffer overflow error that affects the Sharing folders feature in Windows Live Messenger 8.1 (and maybe other versions) running on Windows XP.
