For the color-blind

30 11 2006

People with normal color vision would see a 5 in the spots, while a Red-Green Color blind person will spot a 2.

Although not a major problem, there are many situations where a right judgement in color is very essential. Lotsa talent go waste unable to clear these medical tests in job opportunities. While browsing online, I can across quite a handy source of material and wanted to share it with the world

So this is a wiki I made up on the subject sometime back.

BTW, wetpaint.com is a kool wiki-site, easy to make and edit. Try it sometime.





Tips to extend your cellphone battery life

30 11 2006

Batteries don’t last longer than a few days and to be fair to the battery designers we have to admit that nowadays’ smartphones require much more energy than phones 10 years ago.

Here are a few good tips how to go about it:
1. Turn off your Bluetooth
2. Disable sounds and vibrating alert
3. Lower screen brightness
4. Set power-saver & light timeout values low.
5. Close all inactive applications on ur Symbian phone.
Most Nokias are OS based, unlike other companies which have Java based phones.
How to do it?
Just hold ur Menu button for some time & u’ll see the applications u left open.
6. Forget games when on battery drain. They are real power hungry.

And finally the most important, on-the-face but most looked-over point

7. Turn off your phone when you don’t use it.

Dhoom II – The (p)review

30 11 2006

Sorry to say so… but Dhoom 2 doesn’t exactly rock. To be true to the movie, I would say it was stylish (actually u can see the stars tryin to look stylish, givin poses after an action scene).

DhoomSo much expectations on the movie. First things first, when the music was released, I felt it borrrrrrrriiiiinggg… but then thought that the visuals might pep up the music. The visuals were eye-opening (pun intended), but didn’t do much to improve my opinion on the music. The music director, Pritam, did do better music before.

The first half is better with better & more action scenes, esp. the crown & diamond thefts. The second half drags at places, especially during the Hrithik-Ash romantic scenes. Read the rest of this entry »
