Apple News Update: Heatwave Causes Breakdown In iPhone

2009-07-06T09:22:00.002+06:00

Apple, the company responsible for manufacturing one the most selling smartphone in the market, iPhone, announced today that heatwave maybe one of the reason for the breakdown in a number of iPhones. The manufacturer has warned all its users to protect their iPhone’s from blazing or direct sunlight which would lead to malfunctions.
The company issued an official announcement after a number of complaints were reported to the firm in which most of them claimed batteries emptying too quickly. Some other complaints included the handsets changing color and glowing pink while others reported the smartphone to faint or hang in the middle.
Owners of iPhone 3G S smartphones reported that the handsets changed color to pink from white after heating up. The company has admitted the fault and have told its users to be aware if exposed to direct sunlight or phone left in hot cars.
The company’s official website reported:
“Low - or high temperature conditions might temporarily shorten battery life or cause the device to temporarily stop working properly. Store iPhone 3G and iPhone 3G S in a place where the temperature is between -20º and 45º C. Don’t leave the device in your car, because temperatures in parked cars can exceed this range.”
iPhone is fitted with a feature which makes it automatically shutdown when it heats up. A warning would appear on the user’s screen advising the user to switch it off.
Apple has noted the fault and will be fixing the technical problem very soon to its best-selling smartphone. The company has already sold more than a million smartphones worldwide.

The latest in footwear for the gamers. Introducing for the first time, X-Box themed Sneakers.

When asked for the price being a bit too high, he replied,” They’re not the most expensive ones I’ve ever made. I made shoes with 22k gold and diamonds on them. I look at my creations as functional art…not just ordinary sneakers.”
The fun part which makes the X-Box sneakers so creative is that the logos light up. The glowing of the logo is powered by a fiber optic wiring which is connected to a hidden switch. The switch has two types of settings: Strobe or Constant which brings flavour to the logo lightning.

Truth about diet soda

2008-12-30T12:58:00.000+05:00

These days when we see people drink Diet sodas we think about how they are on a diet and planning to loose weight. But what is the Truth about diet soda. Lets find out.

We talk a lot about ''watching what we eat,'' but if you never gave a thought to what you ate and instead watched only what you drank, you could probably cut 450 calories a day out of your life. (Yes, nearly a pound of fat loss a week!) That's what a study from the University of North Carolina found. Americans today drink about 192 gallons of liquid a year—or about 2 liters a day. To put it into perspective, this is nearly twice as many calories as we did 30 years ago. Is that amazing or not.

Just because diet soda is low in calories doesn't mean it can't lead to weight gain.
It may have only 5 or fewer calories per serving, but emerging research suggests that consuming sugary-tasting beverages--even if they're artificially sweetened--may lead to a high preference for sweetness overall. That means sweeter (and more caloric) cereal, bread, dessert--everything.
Guzzling these drinks all day long forces out the healthy beverages you need.
Diet soda is 100 percent nutrition-free, and again, it's just as important to actively drink the good stuff as it is to avoid that bad stuff. So one diet soda a day is fine, but if you're downing five or six cans, that means you're limiting your intake of healthful beverages, particularly water and tea.There remain some concerns over aspartame, the low-calorie chemical used to give diet sodas their flavor.
Aspartame is 180 times sweeter than sugar, and some animal research has linked consumption of high amounts of the sweetener to brain tumors and lymphoma in rodents. The FDA maintains that the sweetener is safe, but reported side effects include dizziness, headaches, diarrhea, memory loss, and mood changes. Bottom line: Diet soda does you no good, and it might just be doing you wrong.

Top 10 crime stories of 2008

2008-12-28T06:44:00.000+05:00

There where many crime stories in the year 2008. Here is a list of the top 10 crime stories in the year 2008.

1. Prison For O.J.

The crime that sent O.J. Simpson to prison seems petty compared to the accusation that history will remember him for: the brutal 1994 murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman in Brentwood, Los Angeles. The ex-sports star, once one of the most popular athletes in the country, was acquitted of those killings in a trial that divided a tabloid-obsessed nation along racial lines. (He would later lose a 1997 "wrongful death" suit which awarded millions of dollars to the Goldman and Brown families.) But, in October 2008, he was found guilty several felonies as part of a 2007 break-in in a Las Vegas hotel. The case involved sports memorabilia and personal mementoes he claimed were still his — but were the property of two dealers. In December 2008, a judge imposed a complex series of penalties on Simpson. He could spend as many as 33 years in prison but is eligible for parole in nine.

2.A Dreamgirl's Nightmare

Even for Englewood — one of most crime-ridden neighborhoods in the South Side of Chicago— the details were gruesome: a grandmother slain in her home; her adult son shot shortly before through the kitchen window; her 7-year-old grandson missing, his bullet-riddled body later discovered in an abandoned SUV. The boy's stepfather remains accused of all three Oct. 24 murders. Yet it was not the victims themselves who caught the world's attention, but rising Hollywood star Jennifer Hudson. The 27-year-old actress first won fans' hearts as a failed contestant on American Idol, then in her Oscar-winning role in the 2006 blockbuster, Dreamgirls. But she was also a beloved daughter, sister, aunt — and now, survivor.

3. A Ranch Raided

It began with a late March tip to Texas police: a 16-year-old girl at a Texas polygamist sect's remote ranch was complaining of both physical and mental abuse. Within a few weeks, it had become one of the largest child custody cases in U.S. history. On April 3, more than 430 children and 100 mothers were removed from the Yearning for Zion Ranch after after a judge ruled them in imminent danger. The Ranch is part of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints , a breakaway Mormon sect. Its leader, Warren Jeffs, had been convicted in 2007 of forcing a 14-year-old girl into marriage and sexual relations. Yet the authorities struggled to prove their case, and after the Texas Supreme Court ruled the state acted improperly, all but three dozen of the youngsters were returned to their home by early June. Still, nine men from the ranch have been indicted on charges that include sexual assault of a child, bigamy and failure to report child abuse.

4.The dungeon of Amstetten

Josef Fritzl owned a large, non-descript suburban house in Amstetten, Austria. But his cellar was allegedly a dungeon for his daughter Elisabeth. According to police and press acounts, he not only kept her imprisoned there but 24 years but fathered seven children with her. One child of this incestuous union apparentely died in infancy and Fritzl disposed of the body in the furnace. The horrific details — including the fact tenants through the years at the Fritzl home were never aware of that a woman was being kept prisoner right next to them — became one of the biggest global tabloid stories of the year. Fritzl, 73, is expected to go on trial in 2009 on charges of rape, false imprisonment, slavery and murder. Authorities contend that the infant who perished may have survived if Fritzl had sought medical care. His daughter Elisabeth is now 42 years old. She, her surviving children (three of whom lived in the cellar; three in the upper floors) and her mother are undergoing counseling.

5. A Missing Child

Nearly six months after she disappeared on June 15, police have still found no trace of three-year-old Caylee Anthony. But they do have a suspect: her mother. On Oct. 14, an Orlando, Fla. grand jury indicted Casey Anthony, 22, on murder charges, which could carry the death penalty. The young mother reported her daughter missing July 15, telling police she had left Caylee with a babysitter a month earlier. Anthony was immediately arrested as the authorities set out on a nationwide hunt for the missing toddler. What they found instead were 1,200 pages worth of evidence against her mother. Most damning? Anthony's abandoned car, which lab tests revealed traces of a decomposing body and chloroform.

6. A Bus Beheading

t's the stuff of urban legend: As a Greyhound bus travels through Canada, a man stabs and beheads his seatmate as fellow passengers look on. Except that the horrific scene was all too real. In August, dozens of witnesses say Vince Weiguang Li, 40, attacked fellow traveler 22-year-old Tim McLean without provocation as the bus drove through Manitoba province. Li allegedly stabbed McLean several dozen times as others fled the bus. The Chinese immigrant then severed McLean's head, displaying it for other passengers to see, before he began hacking at the body. Police reports allege Li then began to cannibalize the corpse. Li remains in jail on second-degree murder charges.

7. The Killing of the Anchorwoman

Could the death of Anne Pressley have been a random murder, as the police in Little Rock, Arkansas, have said? If so, the victim was hardly a random person. Anne Pressley was a popular local anchorwoman and had had a small role in Oliver Stone's W, a bio-pic about George Bush. (Pressley played an Ann Coulter-like TV personality who praised the President's "mission accomplished" moment in the Iraq war.) She had just come back from watching the movie when she was brutally beaten in her home in a posh part of the Arkansas city. Her jaw was so badly pummeled that bone was exposed. Her mother found her body in the morning and Pressley died five days after. Police have charged Curtis Lavelle Vance with the crime. Vance has denied any involvement.

8. France's $7 Billion Bank Bust

As the year began, the venerable Societe Generale — France's second largest bank — found itself trying to explain just how a mid-level futures trader had managed to lose $7 billion in a rogue operation without anyone noticing. On Jan. 24, bank officials acknowledged that Jerome Kerviel, 31, had committed what could amount to one of the biggest insider frauds in banking history. Using his knowledge of internal security controls, Kerviel allegedly hid dozens of improper trading positions with faked hedging transactions and client authorizations — risking up to $63 billion of Societe General's money. As world markets tumbled in early 2008, those positions amounted to billions of dollars in losses for the bank. Kerviel's motives remain unclear: the young trader personally saw no profit from the scheme. In fact, he continues to claim he never hid what he was doing from bank officials.

9. The Con Man

Clark Rockefeller's yarn was so extraordinary that no one thought to question its veracity. Claiming to be a scion of the Rockefeller dynasty, he joined prestigious clubs, gained prominent friends and married a socialite. He collected expensive art, securing an affluent life in rural Vermont for himself, his wife Sandra Boss and their seven-year old daughter Reigh. But after divorcing Boss in 2007, that tale began to unwind. In late July, the man calling himself Clark Rockefeller was arrested after the bizarre alleged kidnapping of Reigh during a custodial visit in Boston. Police then discovered he was actually German-born Christian Gerhartsreiter, with a record of swindling. Police have also connected him to the 1985 disappearance of a California couple from whom — under yet another alias — Gerhartsreiter rented an apartment. He has pleaded not guilty to the kidnapping charges and denies involvement in the California disappearance.

10. Murder and the Financial Crisis

The case may not have had anything to do with the global meltdown but the news of the unemployed financial analyst who killed his family and then himself made headlines just weeks after Lehman went bankrupt, the bailouts started and the markets took a dive, just as everyone began to worry about their jobs, their 401ks and their homes. Karthik Rajaram had been living the American dream: an immigrant who had made good, who had made huge amounts of money at work and by playing the real estate market. What then led him to shoot his wife, his mother-in-law, his two young sons and finally himself? Mental illness may have been at the core but the timing of the crime made it painfully symbolic.

2008-12-26T11:01:00.000+05:00

Bryant, and Gasol led their team into a victory against their rival, Boston Celtics.Kobe Bryant had 27 points, nine rebounds and five assists, Pau Gasol scored seven of his 20 points in the final three minutes, and the Lakers used a strong finish to beat Boston 92-83 Thursday, snapping the celtics franchise-record 19-game winning streak.

This was the first meeting for Lakers and Celtics since game 6 of the NBA finals in which lakers lost 131-92.The Lakers blew a 24-point second-quarter lead in Game 4 at Staples Center to fall behind 3-1—a deficit that’s never been overcome in the finals.

The teams have been archrivals since the 1960s, having met 11 times in the finals, with the Celtics going 9-2.

“We’ve been waiting for that opportunity for a long time, and we won,” said Lakers guard Sasha Vujacic, who scored 10 points. “I don’t like them at all. A lot of people called us softies or whatever. It doesn’t matter at all. We know what we can do."Last year, they won the championship. This year, it’s our year, we want to take it all the way.”

victory was the 1,000th for Los Angeles’ Phil Jackson, enabling him to become the sixth NBA coach to reach that milestone. The 63-year-old Jackson has a career record of 1,000-423 in 17-plus seasons as coach of the Chicago Bulls and Lakers. He became the fastest to win 1,000 games, surpassing Pat Riley, who did it in 1,434 games.

“It’s amazing. I mean, he’s one of the greatest coaches of all time,” Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. “I can guarantee you that I won’t win 1,000 games because I won’t be around that long. It’s just an amazing number. When you throw up 1,000 wins, that says a lot.”

Gasol missed his first four shots, and showed frustration at times. But he made all three of his shots and all three of his free throws in the fourth quarter for nine of his team’s 21 points.
“We were pretty physical,” said Gasol, who had three rebounds, five assists and three blocked shots. “We were able to contain them, keep our poise and finish the game off. I had to make sure I took it to them, not settle for easy jumpers. I’m glad I was able to get over that hump of a slow start.“It shows we can beat anybody. Hopefully, we’ll build on it.”

Vujacic scored eight points and Bryant added six during a 16-5 run to begin the second quarter, giving the Lakers a 39-29 lead—largest in the game for either team—and they were on top 51-45 at halftime.

Neither team led by more than three in the first quarter, which ended with the Celtics on top 24-23. Boston shot 61.1 percent to 47.6 percent for the Lakers, but committed six of itsturnovers.Vujacic scored eight points and Bryant added six during a 16-5 run to begin the second quarter, giving the Lakers a 39-29 lead—largest in the game for either team—and they were on top 51-45 at halftime.

Why Fans Think the NFL is unfair

2008-12-25T11:46:00.000+05:00

Not only is it possible that the New England Patriots could miss the playoffs at 11-5, but there’s the potential that two of the NFL’s eight division winners will be mediocre 8-8.

The Arizona Cardinals, who didn’t do much more than warm up the team bus on their way to getting waxed 47-7 on Sunday at New England, and the San Diego Chargers, if they beat Denver, will win their respective NFC and AFC West divisions with eight wins. No team has won a division at 8-8 since the Cleveland Browns captured the AFC Central in 1985.
Meanwhile, even if the Patriots beat the Buffalo Bills to reach 11 wins, they’ll miss the playoffs if the Miami Dolphins and Baltimore Ravens win. However, this is about more than the Patriots getting the short end of the stick.

“This is something we warned the owners that could happen when we switched to this format, so it’s not unexpected,” said Atlanta Falcons president Rich McKay, who is also the co-chairman of the NFL competition committee. “The feeling is that this is an aberration, not a sign of some trend … Now, if it were to happen again over the next two or three years, maybe it’s something we look at.”
Likewise, Indianapolis Colts president Bill Polian said: “It’s definitely something we anticipated when we went with this eight-division format. This is not a surprise nor is it something we should over-react to … when we proposed this system, this is something the owners ultimately wanted and felt good about.”
