No clue what AutoCorrection is?

iPhone Killers Killing Each Other

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right? This is the case with iPhone and Apple's so-called iOS devices. After so much bickering at work, and in my personal life about Apple vs others, I had decided to stop sounding like a fanatic. However something happened yesterday and I could keep my silence no longer. I and a colleague tested two smart-phones yesterday one of them on Windows mobile and the other on Android with a multi-touch screen, just to open an e-mail message, click the link on the message and then write some comments on the page where the link would take me. Such a simple task would take less than one minute on the iPhone, but it took 10 and 5 minutes on the Windows mobile and Android devices respectively to perform exactly the same task described above. Because on the Windows mobile device the navigation was a real pain and the user interface so confusing that we mistakenly quit the mail client (Outlook mobile) 4-5 times while struggling to receive a...

Winter solstice marked by Lunar Eclipse 2010

Tomorrow's Lunar eclipse (that is the 21st of December 2010) and winter solstice to coincide for first time in 372 years. The eclipse will fall on the shortest day of the year – the winter solstice – for the first time since 1638. Ian Sample had this to say on the Guardian UK: The skies over Britain will turn a dark shade of red tomorrow morning as the moon moves into the Earth's shadow in a rare lunar eclipse. A total lunar eclipse occurs when the sun, Earth and moon are almost exactly in line, with the moon and sun on opposite sides of our home planet. The alignment will cause the full moon to appear much dimmer than usual, but sunlight passing through the Earth's atmosphere will give the lunar surface a deep reddish hue at dawn. The eclipse is due to begin at 5.28am, as the moon enters the lightest part of Earth's shadow, known as the penumbra. In this early phase of the eclipse, the moon will appear yellowish in the pre-dawn sky. A more significant dim...
