<p>The Echo Mirrored Screen Protector protects your Apple iPhone a treat and offers more than meets the eye.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center;" align="center"><strong></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:18pt;"><a href="http://alengka.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/emoze.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-34" src="http://alengka.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/emoze.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="279" /></a><span style="font-size:12pt;">Saat ini, e-mail memang terasa penting. Meski ada SMS e-mail tetap dipilih untuk keperluan yang lebih serius karena mampu menampung lebih banyak kata-kata plus adanya attachment.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">PENTINGNYA e-mail yang bisa dibaca di ponsel memunculkan teknologi push­e-mail, yaitu sistem dan aplikasi di mana pemilik ponsel langsung bisa meneri­ma e-mail di manapun tanpa harus menekan menu tertentu. Kini ada penyedia layanan gratis untuk push e-mail seperti itu, yaitu Emoze. Layanan gratis ini bisa digunakan untuk semua jenis ponsel, asalkan men­dukung koneksi data (GPRS/3G).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:7.2pt;text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">Selain koneksi GPRS/3G/WiFi baik GSM/CDMA, syarat lain adalah adanya sistem e-mail yang mendukung POP3. E-mail bisa berada di server e-mail perusahaan (Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Notes Domino), atau di e-mail gratisan yang rrlendukung POP3 seperti Hotmail, Yahoo! dan Gmail. Kali ini Sinyal mencoba Emoze untuk e-mail Gmail, dengan langkah­langkah berikut.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:-7.2pt;margin:0 0 7.2pt 7.2pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">1. Masuk ke situs http://www.emoze,com, dan klik Download Now di bagian Push your Gmail &#38; Google Contacts Directly to your Mobile Device.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:-14.4pt;margin:0 7.2pt 7.2pt 14.4pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">2. Lanjutkan dengan memilih merek ponsel (Vendor), tersedia 46 merek utama dunia yang bisa menggunakan Emoze. Lalu pilih tipe ponsel (Device) yang sesuai, dan klik Submit.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:-7.2pt;margin:0 0 3.6pt 7.2pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">3. Maka akan muncul tiga pilihan download aplikasi, yaitu Download lewat PC, Instalasi lewat SMS atau instalasi via WAP browser. Pilih yang Anda inginkan, misalnya PC Download.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">4. Lanjutkan dengan download file</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:10.8pt 0 7.2pt 14.4pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">emoze_s60_ 70s.sis ke komputer, lalu instal file tersebut di memori internal ponsel (bukan di kartu memori tambahan).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:-7.2pt;margin:0 0 3.6pt 7.2pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">5. Aktifkan Emoze di ponsel, dan pilih opera­tor seluler yang digunakan untuk akses internet, lalu Next. )</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:-14.4pt;margin:0 14.4pt 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">6. Lalu pilih apakah push e-mail tersebut dikirim lewat server (yang harus selalu hidup), atau e-mail dikirim lewat server Emoze Global Gateway.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:-7.2pt;margin:0 0 7.2pt 7.2pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">7. Maka server Emoze siap mengirim semua e-mail, jadwal calendar dan con­tacts, ke ponsel Anda. Pilih asal e-mail, apakah dari e-mail di Gmail atau di Outlook Web Access (di server). Masukkan pula Gmail username dan password-nya.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:-14.4pt;margin:0 0 3.6pt 14.4pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">8. Tunggu proses koneksi dilakukan ke server e-mail Gmail, dengan tahapan Creating connection, Initializing push, dan cek data­basenya, hingga muncul pesan Connected. Maka Emoze akan mengecek apakah ada e-mail baru yang sampai di Gmail. Misalnya ada 3 e-mail yang masuk, maka akan muncul pesan "3 new item(s) received".</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:-14.4pt;margin:0 0 7.2pt 14.4pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">9. Sejak itu, koneksi ke internet via GPRS untuk cek e-mail akan langsung dilakukan (tidak akan ditanyakan lagi). Jika dilihat di Connection Manager akan terlihat besarnya data yang lewat.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:-14.4pt;margin:0 0 7.2pt 14.4pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">10. Lanjutkan dengan melakukan pengaturan, yaitu di Options&#62;Settings&#62;Rules&#62;Inbox untuk mengatur e-mail yang masuk. Selain itu, di begian ini ada pengaturan untuk Calendar, Contacts, Drafts, dan Outbox.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:-14.4pt;margin:0 7.2pt 7.2pt 14.4pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">11. Atur umur e-mail yang disinkronisasi (E-mail sync), e-mail yang didownload (Inbox) apakah hanya yang belum dibaca (Unread e-mails only) atau semua e-mail (Read &#38; Unread).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:-14.4pt;margin:0 0 7.2pt 14.4pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">12. Atur pula besarnya attachment yang boleh dikirim ke ponsel (Attachment size), mulai dari 0 hingga 300KB. Atur pula potongan panjang e-mail, yaitu jika lebih dari 8000 karakter, lebih dari 5000 karak­ter atau e-mail tidak dipotong sama sekali.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:-14.4pt;margin:0 7.2pt 0.0001pt 14.4pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">13. Lanjutkan dengan pengaturan lain, yaitu Delete Policy (hanya di ponsel atau juga di server), waktu penghapusan (2 hingga 1 minggu), dan jumlah e-mail yang disisakan (50 - 1000).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:14.4pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-14.4pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">14. Jika perlu, lakukan pengaturan di bagian Calendar, yaitu untuk menunjukkan jadwal kegiatan minggu lalu dan jadwal kegiatan 1-6 bulan berikutnya.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:14.4pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-14.4pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">15. Aktifkan pencatat aktifitas di bagian Advanced &#62;General&#62;Log file&#62;Enabled. Sedangkan Reset berguna untuk mengha­pus semua data sinkronisasi yang telah dibuat, misalnya jika berganti alamat e-mail. E-mail dan password bisa yang dibuat sebagai push-e-mail diganti di bagian Options&#62;Login. Pastikan di bagian Connections&#62;Auto Start&#62;Yes, agar Emoze selalu aktif secara otomatis.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:14.4pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-14.4pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">16. Di bagian Options &#62;Accounts&#62;Select, Anda bisa mengatur data yang ingin dikirim ke ponsel (Calendar, Contacts, Drafts, dan E-mail/Inbox). Anda juga bisa mengatur hari apa saja e-mail boleh dikirim ke ponsel mulai dari Senin - Minggu. E-mail juga bisa diatur apakah akan selalu terkirim ke ponsel, atau selang durasi waktu tertentu ( 15 menit-24 jam).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:14.4pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-14.4pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">17. Untuk mulai koneksi ke Gmail, pilih Sign in. Tunggu sampai proses koneksi selesai dan terlihat berapa e-mail yang dikirim ke ponsel, misalnya "9 new item(s) received". Connected." Data-data koneksi yang dilakukan terakhir akan tercatat, dan bisa dilihat di Options&#62;Log.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:14.4pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-14.4pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">18. E-mail yang masuk akan terlihat dengan tanda @ di depannya, dan ada di Inbox bercampur den­</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:14.4pt;text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">gan SMS biasa.</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[Liquid Crystal Display is all about flat panel television technology. The technology of liquid cryst]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Liquid Crystal Display</strong> is all about flat panel television <strong>technology</strong>. The <strong>technology</strong> of liquid crystal display has penetrated our everyday life in everyday things like wristwatches, <strong>mobile phones</strong>, calculators, <strong>computer monitors</strong> and high definition <strong>television</strong>. The use is growing rapidly and sales of LCD TV are expected to exceed 4 million in America alone.</p>
<p>There are some distinct advantages of <strong>LCD</strong> panels over other kinds of display <strong>technologies</strong>. They are slimmer and hardly go beyond 3.5`` in depth. These are lighter also and best of all they draw less power - only about 60% of the power consumed by plasma displays. LCD televisions do not spew electromagnetic waves that are harmful.</p>
<p>There are drawbacks of course - viewing angle is restricted, contrast ratio is limited and time of display response may cause concern. The biggest frown of all is caused by the price. Although it is falling but still it is considerably higher than its plasma counterpart.</p>
<p>LCD displays comprises mainly of sheets of polarized glass sheets - two in number. A liquid crystal solution is sandwiched between these. These liquid crystals are very specific that causes them to act as shutters that open or shut out entry of light as the need arises depending upon flow of electric current. This current passing through the liquid crystals is regulated by voltage that is applied between the glass sheets through the electrodes that are transparent. These form a network having rows on one direction of the panel and columns on the other side representing the pixels or picture elements.</p>
<p>What are these liquid crystals? Matter can be found in three states - solid, liquid and gas. Nevertheless there are substances that exist in a state that is neither liquid nor solid at any one point of time. The behaviour of these molecules is also peculiar. They keep to their orientation like those in a solid and yet they shuffle around taking up various positions like the molecules of a liquid. Thus these liquid crystals can be termed neither solid nor liquid though they have more of an affinity for the latter - that is the liquid state.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since Optus changed their broadband plans a couple of months ago to include uploads in the quota, the OptusQuota gadget has given dodgy information. Unfortunately Optus decided in their ultimate wisdom not to include data about the uploads in the data feed this and many other quota showing software uses.</p>
<p>Anyway, in the last few weeks Optus changed the feed to include the so called ‘Fusion’ data.&#160; I have now finally had a chance to update the gadget to include functionality for the Fusion plans. </p>
<p>This release contains the following changes:</p>
<p>Full support for Fusion plans including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Uploads are added to the total usage </li>
<li>Display of both MB and % on the gadget </li>
<li>Change the flyout for Fusion users to only display relevant Fusion information </li>
</ul>
<p>In addition, the following changes have been made:</p>
<ul>
<li>Checks every 15 minutes now, instead of 30 </li>
<li>Timeout handling has been improved </li>
<li>Better offline network handling / detection </li>
<li>Improved update functionality </li>
</ul>
<p>As always, the gadget is available from the <a href="http://gallery.live.com/liveItemDetail.aspx?li=df6ef227-41ec-4f8f-83a3-690731c31d93">Live Gallery</a>, or existing users keep an eye out for a update message in the flyout.</p>
<p>Finally, the gadget now includes a Donation button on the settings page. I don’t get paid to write gadgets, I already have a very demanding job and loving family to sink my time into. If you use the gadget and like it, please consider donating.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ich hab mich ja schon des längeren gefragt: warum gibt es <a href="http://www.engadget.com" target="_blank">Engadget</a> in Polnisch und Spanisch, aber nicht auf Deutsch? Und das, nachdem <a href="http://us.gizmodo.com/" target="_blank">Blog-Konkurrent</a> Gizmodo schon eine ganze Weile <a href="http://www.gizmodo.de/" target="_blank">seine deutsche Tochter</a> ins Rennen schickt. </p>
<p><a href="http://de.engadget.com" target="_blank"><img style="border-right:0;border-top:0;border-left:0;border-bottom:0;" height="216" alt="engadget deutsch" src="http://wolkenspiel.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/engadget-deutsch.jpg" width="244" border="0"></a></p>
<p>Seit dem 3. Juli gibt es jetzt auch eine deutsche Version des Männerspielzeug-Portals. Bleibt abzuwarten, ob sie sich damit gegen die Englische-Version durchsetzen können. An deren Stil hab ich mich ja schon gut gewöhnt und der ist nicht unbedingt leicht direkt ins Deutsche zu retten. Am Besten wäre es wohl einen eigenen, originellen Stil zu finden - wobei da Engadget.com schon ein gutes Vorbild ist. Mal sehen - werde in der nächsten Zeit beides mal ansurfen, aber das englische Original hab ich eigentlich doch recht lieb gewonnen.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin-bottom:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">Sudahkah kamu menginstall aplikasi chatting termurah dan terkeren ini?? Sekarang kamu bisa kembali menikmati layanan ini dengan sedikit trik. Mulai beberapa bulan yang lalu memang MXit tidak bisa digunakan oleh para chatter di Indonesia. Ternyata hal ini tidak dialami di luar negeri. So mulailah eksperimen kreatif anak Indonsesia yang dah terkenal didunia ini. Yups akhirnya ditemukan cara biar kita bisa kembali chattingan pake MXit.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;" align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">Langsung aja deh, caranya mudah banget kok. Buka wap.mxit.co.za dari browser hape kamu. Ikuti petunjuk. Hal yang perlu kamu inget adalah </span></span><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><strong>jangan memilih Negara Indonesia</strong></span></span><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"> sebagai Negara kamu!! Klo anak Sasing sih pake Australia, so kamu bisa pilih Australia aja biar gampang add contacnya (kode +61). Klo udah ikutin trus petunjuknya. Install versi terbaru aja lebih keren, namun beberapa hape tidak support kayak Motorola E398 </span></span><span style="font-family:Wingdings;"><span style="font-size:small;"></span></span><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">. Terakhir, saran saya masukin no asli kamu biar temen2 bisa add contact langsung. Oke selamat mencoba MXit versi 5.6.3!!</span></span></p>

<description><![CDATA[Ihr glaubt ja gar nicht, wie schnell man das Internet vermissen kann! War ja wie jede Woche in Köln]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ihr glaubt ja gar nicht, wie schnell man das Internet vermissen kann! War ja wie jede Woche in Köln zum arbeiten. Meine Freundin hat jetzt eine Wohnung dort und was liegt da näher als bei ihr zu übernachten. Leider hat sie noch kein Internet-Zugang, was mich an meinen beiden freien Tagen in Köln echt abgenervt hat.</p>
<p>Also, was tun?! Ab in die City und nach Alternativen suchen um mich abzulenken - <em>dachte dabei an etwas neues für meine <a href="http://www.nikon.de/product/de_DE/products/broad/1139/overview.html" target="_blank">DSLR-Kamera (D80)</a></em> - oder eine Möglichkeit schnell und einfach Internet zu haben <em>(idealerweise überall)</em>.</p>
<p>Nach dem ich feststellen musste das der Fachhandel für Photographie sich den Service sehr gut bezahlen lässt, fiel neues Kamera-Zubehör schon mal weg! :(</p>
<p>Also rein bei E-Plus (Base) und nach einer <a href="http://www.base.de/base/tarife/internetflatrate.jsf" target="_blank">UMTS-Flat</a> gefragt... Das war keine gute Idee wie ich feststellte! Der Verkäufer wirkte auf mich wie die türkische Version eines Bandmitglieds von "<a href="http://tokiohotel.pop24.de" target="_blank">Tokyo Hotel</a>". Sein Sachverstand entsprach aber eher dem von "<a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_Richards" target="_blank">Keith Richards</a>" nach zwei Flaschen Bourbon.</p>
<p>Nach drei adäquaten Antworten, verließ ich den E-Plus Laden enttäuscht! Aber was sehen meine Augen gegenüber - Eine 1,40 meter große Statur des Iphones. - <strong>"<a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excalibur" target="_blank">Excalibur</a>"</strong></p>
<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-36 alignleft" style="margin-left:10px;margin-right:10px;" src="http://intoland.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/iphone.png?w=106" alt="" width="95" height="270" />Also rüber zu T-Com und das Dingen ausprobiert. Der Verkäufer sieht das glänzen in meinen Augen und fängt direkt an mich voll zu labern! - Ich ignoriere Ihn - Aber er lässt nicht locker... Na dann vertreiben wir ihn eben mit ein paar Fragen!</p>
<p>Ich: "Wie ist das mit der Bandbreiten Begrenzung?" Er: "Davon wurde bisher noch kein Gebrauch gemacht!" Ich:"Weil man das bei EDGE nicht kann?" Er: "Nein, weil nur die Bandbreite begrenzt wird, wenn zuviel Leute gleichzeitig surfen." Ich: "Ah so! Also nicht wie im kleingedruckten steht, das nach 1GB sie mir den Saft abdrehen." - Was ein Depp!</p>
<p>Na egal! Ich bin verliebt... Und habe beschlossen mir das <a href="http://www.apple.com/de/iphone/">Iphone 3G</a> am 11. Juli im Shop zu holen. Noch schnell in den Vodafon-Shop und meinen Vertrag gekündigt bzw. für die Restlaufzeit auf 12,- € Grundgebühr runtergestuft.</p>
<p>Könnte nicht schon der 11. sein?!</p>
<p>Nur so nebenbei! Wenn ihr was wisst, wie meine meine Freundin in Köln einfach und kostengünstig Internet bekommen kann, wäre ich euch sehr dankbar für ein paar Tipps!!!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Global Positioning System (GPS) is huge, millions of devices have been sold all around the world, most of them are specifically designed devices for cars etc, however, this is soon to change.</p>
<p>Although this has already happened in the US and Asia, it is still to break into Europe, GPS on your phone.</p>
<p>In the US the Federal Communications Commission created an act to require all mobile phones to have the technology included, this allows emergency services to locate the mobile phone user in serious emergencies.</p>
<p>As for Europe, the technology has not been able to break in yet, but when it does, I personally will welcome it.</p>

<p>Ca y est, <strong><span style="color:#ff00ff;">le MSI arrive enfin</span></strong> sur notre vieux continent. Ce <strong><span style="color:#ff00ff;">miniPC révolutionaire</span></strong>, appartenant au trio de tête eeePC 900, Aspire One, et lui même, sera disponible dès le <span style="color:#ff00ff;"><strong>10 voir 11 juillet.</strong></span></p>
<p>Après <a href="http://worldissmall.wordpress.com/2008/04/24/le-scandale-des-batteries-eeepc-900/">de nombreux <span style="color:#ff00ff;"><strong>problèmes dûs à la batterie</strong></span></a>, nous aurons enfin, nous, chers Français, l'honneur de toucher, de sruter, et même de tester ce <a href="http://worldissmall.wordpress.com/?s=miniPC">netbook</a>.</p>
<p>Vous sentez de l'engoument dans mes propos ? A peine !! Si vous ne comprenez pas pourquoi, <a href="http://worldissmall.wordpress.com/2008/06/20/le-msi-wind-u100-le-concurrent-le-plus-serieux-du-eeepc-900-il-sort-demain/">lisez absolument <strong><span style="color:#ff00ff;">ses caractéristiques et le comparatif avec le eeePC 900 !</span></strong></a></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Je vous pose une question : Etes vous intéressés par l'achat d'un netbook ?</strong></span></p>
<p>Pour vous aider à répondre je veux apporter quelques précisions.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><!--more--></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Que remplace un netbook ?</strong></span></p>
<p>La réponse est simple : <span style="color:#ff00ff;"><strong>rien.</strong></span> Le marché du miniPC/netbook est une nouvelle "niche" nécouverte par <strong><span style="color:#ff00ff;">Asus et son eeePC</span></strong> il y a un an. Un netbook se place entre un téléphone portable puissant et rapide sur le net, et un PC portable.</p>
<p>Il est destiné aux <em>aficionados</em> d'internet qui n'osent pas/ne peuvent pas surfer sur leur téléphone mais pour qui l'ordnateur portable est encombrant.</p>
<p>Il sert d'ordinateur d'apoint à ceux qui n'ont qu'un PC de burreau ou un portable plus transportable que portable.</p>
<p>Mais surtout, ce qui, à mon avis, est sa principale raison d'achat : c'est un ordinateur sans fioritures pour un prix sans fuiritures ! Un jeune, une personne sans trop de budget, ou une personne qui ne veut pas trop dépenser pour simplement accéder à internet, trouvera dans un netbook tout ce dont il a besoin.</p>
<p>Combien d'entre nous font du montage vidéo ? du jeu ? du jeu 3D ? du graphisme ? du ... CS3 ? 10% peut être!</p>
<p>Combien de ces 10% pourraient s'en passer en déplacement ? 100%</p>
<p>C'est à partir de ce constat que je crois en ces netbooks. Si vous lisez des blogs, vous devez donc passer plusieurs heures sur internet par jour. Mais il est fort probable que vous aimiez faire autre chose sur votre PC, quelque chose de cité ci dessus. Mais si vous aimez, c'est que vous avez déja un PC pour le faire ! Et si vous avez lu cet article jusque ici, vous vous intéressez aux netbooks !</p>
<p>Beaucoup de points d'exclamation et de "si" pour vous dire qu'un netbook a une utilité incroyable et insoupsonnée. Il est parfait pour surfer sur internet, regarder des vidéos, écouter de la musique et faire de la bureautique. Alors si vous voulez profiter d'internet au bord de la mer, sur votre balcon ou en pique nique, optez pour un netbook.</p>
<p>Je n'ai pas de netbook mais je suis vraiment emballé par ce concept. Je ne suis pas revendeur ^^ mais j'en fais l'éloge. Un éloge sûrement trop poussée mais c'est l'attrait pour l'inconnu, le neuf. Si j'en achète un demain, je vous écrirai peut être que c'est nul, voir à chier, mais je pense plutôt que vous lirez encore quelques articles de ma part pour vous dire qu'il est génial.</p>

Like the Sony Ericsson W910i, the Sony Ericsson F305 utilizes its accelerometer so users will be able to enjoy a Wii-like gaming experience. With either a flick of the wrist or just by swinging your Sony Ericsson F305 around, you can control the gaming action.</p>
<p>The Sony Ericsson F305 is a slider phone and is also loaded with other goodies. Check the link for more information about the <a href="http://www.cellphone-reviews.co.uk/2008/06/sony-ericsson-f305.html" target="_blank">Sony Ericsson F305</a>.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Gli o-mamori お守り (dal verbo mamoru &#8220;difendere, proteggere&#8221;; o è una particella on]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://giapponeinfiore.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/oma11.jpg"></a>Gli <strong>o-mamori</strong> お守り (dal verbo <em>mamoru</em> "difendere, proteggere"; <em>o</em> è una particella onorifica diretta a chi lo possiede) sono dei popolarissimi amuleti portafortuna in vendita presso i santuari del Giappone.<br />
Ne esistono di tutti i colori e forme e non è insolito vederli appesi alle borse, cellulari, dentro le automobili, soprattutto tra i giovani visto che ultimamente fanno tendenza quelli che ritraggono personaggi manga.<br />
Esternamente si presentano come dei piccoli e colorati sacchetti di stoffa (i più preziosi in seta con gli stessi motivi dei kimono) chiusi in alto da dei cordoncini annodati, in modo che non vengano aperti, altrimenti possono perdere le loro proprietà protettive. Purtroppo debbo ammettere è la prima cosa che ho fatto quando sono venuta in possesso del mio primo omamori... la curiosità di cosa ci fosse al suo interno è stata più forte!<br />
Il contenuto in realtà è intuibile al tatto: un foglio di carta o un pezzetto di legno su cui è stampata una preghiera di buon auspicio. La richiesta, e quindi la loro funzione, varia ed è in genere illustrata su un lato del sacchetto (sull’altro è invece riportato il nome del tempio dove sono stati acquistati). Generalmente i più comuni sono quelli a protezione degli studenti, della salute, di chi viaggia…semplificando, tutti i campi in cui l’uomo può fallire o realizzarsi: famiglia, amore, amicizia, carriera, salute, studio, successo.<br />
Si crede inoltre che la loro efficacia duri un anno: per questo vengono spesso acquistati a Capodanno e, trascorso questo lasso di tempo, riportati al tempio in modo che vengano distrutti senza commettere infausti errori.   <br />
E' il tipico souvenir da portare ad amici e persone care… un <em>o-mamori</em> è piccolo, facilmente trasportabile e contiene sempre un grande augurio.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span><span style="color:#993366;"><strong>Omamori</strong>: su un lato leggerete il nome del tempio dove è stato acquistato (<em>Kinkakuji</em> 金閣寺).</span></span></p>

<p>The last time Polaroid did something innovative, a vast majority of us hadn't even been born yet. Isn't it nice that we're around to see what could be considered Polaroid's biggest innovation since it launched instant film all those years ago?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Housed in a sleek, newly designed polished IP silver case and finished with a custom linked, brushed silver strap with polished detail, this design offers you the chance to wear a fashion statement, unlikely to be seen anywhere else on the planet.</p>
<p>The cryptic looking display is deceptively easy to read; one touch of the upper button initiates a programmed animation of light, and then presents the time. Twelve yellow bars represent hours in a clock wise direction, eleven red bars represent groups of five minutes and four green bars show single minutes. Pressing the lower button presents the time immediately. No ordinary design, Galaxy has a modern look with futuristic style.

<img src="http://ageekspot.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/b886fa40-4fbe-4ddf-8e4f-c6f2195b526c.jpg" alt="B886FA40-4FBE-4DDF-8E4F-C6F2195B526C.jpg" border="0" width="200" height="124" align="left" /></p>
<p>Apple has reduced the Solid State Drive (SSD) option on the MacBook Air from US$999 to US$599 just in time for holiday shopping. Studies have shown that current SSD drives save only a little on battery power and improve only a little on various read/write functions. Even so, the removing the HDD gets the last moving part out of a notebook computer -- something that will appeal to many customers.</p>
<p>In addition, for those who want to upgrade to the 1.8 GHz model, that option will now cost US$100 less. Combined, that's a reduction of $500. Happy holiday shopping to all.</p>

<p>Making a mixed tape for someone you fancied was my generations version of writing poetry or a love letter. Not only did we focus on selecting just the right tracks to include and try to time it to the second, we also focused hours of creative energy in illustrating the mix tape cover with heart felt doodles and clever visual references. When the burnable CD took over the scene, the mixed tape as a way of expressing oneself to another lost a little of its charm. Now with everything going digital, all of the charm has been lost to <a id="KonaLink0" class="kLink" href="http://www.yankodesign.com/index.php/2008/06/13/mixed-music-medium/#" target="_new"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:12px;position:static;color:#95afd0;"><span class="kLink" style="border-bottom:1px solid #95afd0;font-weight:400;font-size:12px;position:static;background-color:transparent;font-family:Arial,Verdana,Helvetica;color:#95afd0;">cyberspace</span></span></a>, until now. The “Mix Tape USB Stick” by SUCK UK brings all the fun and charm back to a time honored tradition that really should be on everyone’s gift giving list. Show someone you really care about them and make them a mixed tape.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wenn sich in sehr ferner Zukunft die Marke IQ-Atrophie im internationalen Sprachgebrauch etabliert hat (man wird ja wohl noch träumen dürfen), muss man sich natürlich auch über das Merchandising Gedanken machen. ;)</p>
<p>Warum sich also nicht schon heute den Kopf darüber zerbrechen? </p>
<p>Ein eigenes, kleines <a href='http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gadget'>Gadget</a> für den <a href='http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB'>USB</a> Anschluß, das wäre es doch. Die ständigen Ausflüge zu <a href='http://www.engadget.com'>Engadget</a> und <a href='http://www.gizmodo.com'>Gizmodo</a> haben offensichtlich ihre Spuren hinterlassen.</p>
<p>Kommen wir damit ohne große Umschweife gleich zum fabulösen, extrem <a href='http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerd'>nerdigen</a> IQ-Atrophie USB-Gadget, das kürzlich meinen wirren Denkprozessen entsprungen ist.</p>
<p><a href="http://iqatrophie.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/brain_gadget.jpg"><img src="http://iqatrophie.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/brain_gadget.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="224" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-251" /></a></p>
<p>Unverkennbar ein graues Gehirn, dessen obere Hälfte sich abnehmen lässt. Eingebettet in der unteren, stationären Hälfte befindet sich, ähnlich den <a href='http://www.sillyjokes.co.uk/p-jokes/fake/poo/'>Scherzhundehaufen</a>, ein formschönes Exemplar menschlicher Darmausscheidungen. </p>
<p>Die Gesamtkonstruktion ist zweifellos ein Tribut an das geflügelte Sprichwort <em><strong>Scheiße im Hirn haben</strong></em> bzw. <em><strong>dir haben sie doch ins Gehirn geschissen</strong></em>.</p>
<p>Ideal wäre es, wenn das Exkrementimitat aus brauner Wachsmalkreide hergestellt ist. Damit könnte man hübsche, braune Streifen hinterlassen und mit viel Fantasie sogar Notizen zu Papier bringen. Was für ein Spaß. ;)</p>
<p>Ein zusätzlicher Bonus ist der in der unteren Gehirnhälfte verbaute Flashspeicher. Per USB an den PC angeschlossen, könnte man dort wichtige Daten auslagern. Mir gefällt der Gedanke, bei Platzmangel auf dem Rechner einfach ein Gehirn anzuschließen.</p>
<p>Noch dazu ist unser Gehirn ja so etwas wie ein Speichermedium. Da liegt dieser Gedanke nahe.</p>
<p>So soll es aussehen. Jetzt fehlt nur noch jemand, der das Ding produziert, das ganze unternehmerische Risiko trägt, und mich am Verkaufserlös beteiligt. :lol:</p>
<p>Anmerkungen, Ideen und Vorschläge sind natürlich jederzeit willkommen.</p>
