The FCUK Word

Last weekend was having a conversation with my little niece about the cool, hip and popular words talked amongst her school mates; not surprisingly a lot hasn't changed over the years. I was in the same grade as her in 1994 or 1993 (not sure about her grade for sure but some where there she should be - what lousy fellow I am and how short lived is my memory).

The most popular word still remains the "the F word". Not sure about the reason though, why humanity and especially teenagers have such strong affection for this word. Biologically speaking, it's one of the most important and overly enjoyed act, families are in a way based on it and if that sound's like an overkill let it be. Will surely acknowledge that there are many more important factors/causes whatever - for those who are thinking this is too much - but that's not what is the question.

The question still is what's so special about this F word?
So popular in itself that a brand has such a good recall because it's called FCUK - French Connection United Kingdom. Interestingly, the way humnas raed wodrs maeks it smae for us to read FCUK and FUCK in almost the same manner. Just in case if you doubt it just read through the previous line once again - notice the mistakes that have been deliberately put in. You can surely read it easily.

Some one has an answer? Please enlighten me.

alama !!! HTC Touch problem

OMG !! that's what "alama" means in Malay. That's what happens when you buy a phone in Singapore and don't think about where you are going to use it and how easy is the service for the same going to be.

I skipped a few beats when the device started to shutdown immediately with Airtel in last three days.

Shit !!

That's what comes to my mind. Browsed the internet only to find out that the problem could be as easy as a simple glitch which should be fixed by a hard reset to something as big as a motherboard issue - which needs replacement. Being a techie myself who likes to play around - decided to go ahead with hard reset. That didn't fix the problem. Now what is to be done !!!

The phone is not under close scrutiny and am keeping my fingers crossed. I don't want to go to HTC service center and try something. Pray for me.

Technology Can Hurt and some times it does !!

Gtalk on Mobile (HTC Touch II )

What's the point of having a Windows Mobile device if you can't get the most of it.
Have been trying to play around with the Windows Mobile 6 powered device and was surprised to find that GOOGLE didn't have a mobile version.
Oh even GOD didn't have answers - they might not have the solution but they can find it for you. Tried installing a lots of things but none of them worked for me.

There are so many results when u search for it. I decided to try out few. Google expects us to use the IE or any other browser and use the gadget for chat. Somehow I tend to disagree - matter of personal preference you can say.

Then i tried Octrotalk - well works fine. You can chat :) and even better if you don't have any bandwidth issue wow you can do voice chat as well. Wi-fi connectivity makes it even easier to do. Imagine sitting in some airport terminal without your laptop and being able to do that :) feels good
