VLC media player for Android
VLC media player for Android beta is now
available for download
Naturally being in beta, the app might be unstable at times, although most of the early
feedback is positive.Mind you, it’ll run only on devices with an ARMv7 processor,
which supports the NEON engine. The player comes with a nice widget that allows you to
play, pause and stop any music track you might be playing with it.At this stage all but the
cheapest Droids have a qualifying CPU,but if yours isn’t on the list you’d be glad to know that
an ARMv6-loving
version is also in the works. There’s also going to be a tablet-friendly
release of the VLC player for Android. Follow the source link below to get the VLC player beta
and don’t forget to share your first impressions on it with the rest
of us in the comments section below.

- Open Notepad.
- Type in "this app can break" without quotes.
- Save the notepad file as test.txt or *.txt.
- Reopen the saved file to know the results.
Try these notepad tricks yourself to know the results.
On a serious note, none of the flight that attacked World Trade Center had the flight number Q33N. It is just a rumor which became popular due to its peculiar nature. Moreover, did you notice some similarity in trick 2 and 3? Yes, you figured it out correctly, both of the statements have the word length pattern of 4,3,3,5 which seems to cause the bug. It is not that Microsoft is that much 'worried' about their reputation or the U.S. President have absolute control over Microsoft.
Note: The last two tricks work on all versions of Windows but these tricks are computer specific and might or might not work on some systems running later versions of Windows after XP.
The top 5 most anticipated gadgets
The top 5 most anticipated gadgets of 2012
iphone5
Apple's sixth generation iPhone 5 (or whatever Apple ends up calling it) is nothing but an assumption right now but if release schedules hold to pattern, we should see it by the fall of 2012. Rumors and feature wish-lists include a 4-inch screen, faster Apple A5X chipset, real 4G LTE networking, and, of course, thinner and lighter. Storage, pricing, and availability are all uncertain right now,bt i'll let you know the moment i do!
iPAD3
Rating:-4.5/5
The new iPad, the iPad 3, the new iPad 3… call it what you want, but it's a device that from the outside looks remarkably like the iPad 2 but with an overhaul on the innards.
what's different from the old one?
Well, in this case it's pretty easy: there's a Retina Display that makes everything looks superbly crisp, an updated A5X processor bringing quad-core graphics and a 5MP camera on the rear with a VGA sensor on the front.

Samsung Galaxy SIII
Rating:-4.5/5
The Samsung Galaxy S3 is, according to Samsung anyway, 'inspired by nature – it sees, listens, responds, and allows you to share the greatest moments'.
While this is all a little hyperbolic, the nature theme is certainly present when you handle the phone for the first time.
Brushed polycarbonate – you've got a choice of 'Marble White' and 'Pebble Blue' – adorns the large device, which runs in with dimensions of 136.6 x 70.6 x 8.6mm, despite still having to pack in a 4.8-inch Super AMOLED HD screen.
But we'll be very clear on this - the Galaxy S3 is not a cheap-feeling phone. It's got a really solid Gorilla Glass 2 front, a well-packaged interior and a more robust battery cover. It's polycarbonate rather than bog-standard plastic, although we're not sure some people will like the more rounded nature of the design..

Quad-Core Mobile Phones/Tablets
With Nvidia introducing their Tegra 3 quad-core processor, gone are the days where desktops and high-end laptops were the only ones to get the quad-core treatment. ASUS immediately jumped on the gun with their Transformer Prime (despite being sued for the name) and placed the Tegra 3 chipset to power this device. This proved to be a great choice as the Transformer Prime was indeed a very fast tablet and this sets the precedence for more quad-core devices to come out of the market, hopefully in 2012. So yeah, mobile computing will really be a notch higher with these kinds of devices coming.
Nintendo Wii U
The Nintendo Wii U is the first next-gen games console to break cover and will be the first to go on sale when it hits the shelves in time for Christmas later this year.
When the Wii first emerged, it too represented a new breed of games console. But ultimately a combination of dated hardware, lack of third-party games and a failure to engage the traditional gaming market led to Wii sales dropping through the floor. Wiis now collect dust in dark cupboards the world over, and Nintendo just posted its first ever financial loss in 30 years.
Nintendo needs the Wii U to be a big hit to get the cash rolling in again.
The Biggest Tech Addictions Ever
The Biggest Tech Addictions Ever
Some of the biggest tech-addiction are discovered and the way they can harm you is given below:-
Don't get worried,these are just surveys done by few scientists,its not neccesary that they prove to be right for all of us TECH-ADDICTS
So here it is the 4 Biggest Tech Addictions Ever

1. Phantom Vibration Syndrome
Have you ever searched for your mobile phone because you felt it vibrating, only to discover that it hadn’t? This could be what many call “phantom vibration syndrome,” the victims of which feel vibrations even when their devices are in an entirely different room.
The name is based on a medical condition called phantom limb syndrome in which someone who has lost a limb experiences sensory hallucinations that it is still attached to the body and functioning. Similarly, those with phantom vibration syndrome feel their phones as extensions of themselves.
According to a study by Dr.Larry Rosen, 70% of people who heavily use mobile devices experience phantom vibrations. It is common and recent studies are finding different ways to recover from it.

2. Internet Addiction Disorder
Addiction to the Internet can cause the same type of social problems as other established addictions, such as gambling. Internet addiction disorder (IAD) refers to compulsory use of the Internet, such that it interferes with daily life.
However, it is not yet recognized or classified as a disorder but it may be included medically as one among Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) soon.
In the American Journal of Psychiatry, Dr. Jerald J. Block wrote: “IAD can be characterized by excessive use, feelings of withdrawal and negative repercussions, such as arguments and fatigue.” Studies have also proved that severe use of the Internet can also cause high levels of depression.
3. Social Media Addiction
Social media addiction is the latest by-product and a subdivision of Internet addiction. It is the most common tech addictions of now.
Researchers from the University of Chicago surveyed 250 participants, fitting them with devices that logged nearly 8,000 reports on their everyday desires. According to the study, checking social networking sites for updates is a much harder habit to break than alcohol or tobacco.
In Norway, researchers came up with a new test to help you figure out whether you suffer from a social media addiction. Called as Bergen Facebook addiction scale, the test is based on six metrics, for example, using Facebook to forget about problems or trying to cut down on Facebook use without success.
4. Video Game Addiction
Video game addiction began in the last decade and with the introduction of many other gaming gadgets, it is on a rise now. Like Internet addiction and others, it is characterized by the interference of gaming with other aspects of life. Although it is not yet considered an official addiction by the American Medical Association, video game overuse has led to terrible consequences.
In July 2011, a 20-year-old computer programmer in U.K died of deep vein thrombosis from sitting for too long in front of computer. A blood clot started in his calf and eventually caused fatal blockage in his lungs.
