Easter Egg in Android 2.3.3?

In Mobile - Posted on Thu 10th November 2011 11.47PM

Just a small discovery I made lately which I'm sure many people who owns an android phone is unaware off. While fiddling with my Samsung Galaxy S, which by the way runs Android 2.3.3, I recently discovered a hidden image as displayed above. If you try to go to settings and enter about phone menu, try to tap the Firmware version section three to four consecutive times....et voila! You get this image! I don't know about other Android versions if they are the same. Perhaps you can let me know after you give it a try? ;-)

20 Ways to Reduce Computer Power Consumption

In Tips - Posted on Fri 21st October 2011 8.28PM

Today’s article is about some tips about minimising your power consumption of your computer. I noticed that many parents moan about their monthly electricity bill and they will consequently find the main culprit that is their children (that could be you)...who might be spending hours on their desktop or notebook. These devices really consume quiet a lot of energy. But there are certain things that you can do to significantly decrease your power dependency. Remember that every single action counts as it will have a cumulative effect by the end of the month. Now consider for a whole year, you will save much more. This is also an effort from ..... read more

Finally I'm back. I know I have been neglecting the blog for quite some time. Hopefully it won't happen again. There has been so much going on lately in my life. Being a fresh graduate I'm  starting to look for a job. The reason for being away for such a long time was that I was not in the country.


Anyway, before leaving Mauritius, I started to investigate how to use my dad's Nikon D3000. Since my dad is not tech-oriented, I had to learn how to use it on his behalf then transfer the knowledge to him.  So initially I was shooting on automatic m ..... read more

Orange's late letter

Orange really deserve to be renamed to ZOrange...adding a 'Z' sounds more like a Zero. Today 23rd of June, happen to be the day where I received two letters from Orange. The postman delivered them to my dad at 11.00 am, who knocked at my door of my room (PS: I was still asleep at that time). Dad dropped the two letters on my desk! I examined them....a big Orange logo on each envelope. After I opened both of them, I found that each contain the exact and same letter addressed to me. This is shown below.




Orange has had been organising an Open Day on the 22nd of June and  final year students who have just finished their studies (just like me) are invited and can bring some friends along. The funny thing is that I received the invitation letter one day after the event. I could only sarcastically smile at Orange because as you know, Orange is now being qualified as a slow ISP and don't you find it normal that any message that they want to convey to you will arrive late? :)

Recently the biggest buzz on the Internet is about cloud computing or the cloud. Just a week ago, Apple released its cloud know as the iCloud. Other big companies such as Microsoft and Amazon had already implemented their clouds years before. It might surprise you, but the trend on the Internet is now moving towards the cloud. I am sure many among you are confused by the term cloud or cloud computing. People may use it in casual conversations but they may not fully understand what it really is. I have previously worked on specific part of Google's cloud which is the Google App Engine. With the knowledge I have gathered, I'll try to explain ..... read more

Previously I shared some music on the blog and recently I started to ponder over why not launch a 'Music of the Month' post. Since I listen to loads of music, I will try to post the music I'm currently addicted to for the month. For this month of June, I got this song from my cousin Deelan, it's from the band Crystal Fighters. 


Feel free to share your opinion about the song. Enjoy!

MSI Afterburner

In Softwares - Posted on Sun 5th June 2011 10.28PM

For some years, I have been continuously using discrete graphics card on my desktop. My older one had a Geforce 9500GT and as new games were coming out, I was finding more and more difficulty to run them, mainly because the rendering capabilities of the card are no more to the level required by the games. Obviously the solution to this is to change GPU but it would required some bucks. So why not use a graphics card booster such as the MSI Afterburner?


What it does?

In simple words, it is an overclocking (OC) tool to manipulate the GPU core clock, memory clock, shader clock and the fan speed. You c ..... read more
