Corby Wallpapers 720X320

One thing that frustrated me with Corby/ Genio (S3650, S3653, S3653W etc) touch was its panoramic wallpaper of 720 X 320  resolution, which frankly is hard to find. It is basically three 240 X 320 resolution wallpapers places side by side. So here are some of the files that I have made.

How to download: Click on the desired picture and wait for it to open. Now right click and save image.

• Also another great blog to check out is Corby Wallpapers Blogspot. 
• If you own Star/ Tocco (S5230 etc), who wallpaper resolution is (720 X 400),  here is a great app that lets you easily create such wallpapers. Simply drop the three pictures and it automatically creates a panoramic image

Google drops @googlemail.com domain

Google recently announced on their official blog that they would be dropping the @googlemail.com domain, popular in the UK and Germany to @gmail.com. Existing users are given option to switch to @gmail.com. But those who want to continue with @googlemail.com are free to stick to it, which is what I think most would do. So how do you convince people to migrate their address to @gmail.com. Here's Google's explanation

"Since "gmail" is 50% fewer characters than "googlemail," we estimate this name change will save approximately 60 million keystrokes a day. At about 217 microjoules per keystroke, that's about the energy of 20 bonbons saved every day!"

What a perspective! "The energy of 20 bonbons" That sentence includes all words that today's metrosexuals fear. Energy, Joules and Bonbons. Hats off to the fellow who came up with the idea! So would you do it for the sake of 20 Bonbons?? I reckon you stick with @googlemail.com and savor the exclusivity. Moreover a reverse of either (@gmail.com (or) @googlemail.com)in the sent email will still deliver it to the same place!!

"Do you want a monkey on your latte, Sir?"

If I were asked that question, my answer would be a resounding "Yes". " And also bring the dog will you?, when I'm done with the monkey"

To the perplexed; what you just read was a perfectly normal conversation between a customer and a coffee shop waiter. Yes, let me introduce you to the world of latte art. Latte art is undoubtedly one of the lesser known forms of art, but have no doubts about its beauty. Latte art is a style of pouring steamed milk into a shot of espresso that creates a pattern or design on the surface of the resulting latte. Latte art is particularly difficult to create consistently, due to the demanding conditions required of both the espresso shot and milk. The inconsistency of the brew and the espresso machine poses another challenge for the latte artist. Here is a look into daily life of a latter artist. Prepare to be amazed!

Wondering how in the world they actually create such art? This is going to throw you off your chair!

At life's Crossroads

You've reached the crossroads in your journey
Which way to go now,

I think to myself,
If I go left, down this road
There's the risk of death and destruction
a life edged with fear and high adventure
of course the possibility of total ruin

But would I be able to spend all time, eternity
In the safety of a place
without a promise of a thrill
YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CHOOSE
and this is how it all began

Take risks: if you win, you
will be happy; if you don’t
you will be wise.

Did you know that plants have sex?

They have rampant, promiscuous, really quite interesting and curious sex. Really! Watch the video below by Jonathan Drori at one of the TED meetings.

Note: The video contains NO objectionable content . In fact the talk is about pollen grains and the insight a little thing like pollen gives into criminal investigation etc..
