One of Nokia’s most recent phone in the market N81 is one more GSM filling the N series.Released on August 2007 the phone is still not in market, may be still couple of months remaining for the consumers.

Here are two great Wordpress themes.

The Bliss of Growth

It’s a two column, fluid width Wordpress theme. Its really simplistic and minimalist Wordpress theme and I really like the blue, futuristic header.

The blue and white sidebar is rather attractive and has a very aesthetic bluish hover effect.

Really reccomended if you’d like to have a futuristic look for you blog.

Heres a screenshot:

The Beauty of the moon

This is yet another awesome theme from Zinruss Studio The Beauty of the moon is a widget ready, 2 collumn Wordpress theme.

The header graphics are exceptional, and the green sidebar looks very attractive indeed.

This theme is recommended for graphics/personal/mystery blogs.

Here’s a screenshot:

A rising point of online interaction is Craiglist. There are no fees to be paid in able to be a member, which is a strong reason for its popularity. Although relatively humble with the design of the website, as compared to the prominent multi-content specialist players out there, like Yahoo! or Google, Craiglist focuses on the content than the design. With those companies, they focus on big-time corporate advertisement and promotions, whereas in Craiglist the people who are members of the community take the lead. A Craiglist member can easily locate a local community where there are ads, information, job listings, rent opportunities and even a person to personally acquaint. Because Craiglist emphasizes on localization, it is easier to find related posting for a person finding a job or a merchant near his place. The environment is extremely simple due to the non-commercial purpose of the environment. The founder of Craiglist is Craig Newmark, a simple and anti-monopoly man who is also the CEO of Craiglist. This relatively not complex man has travelled on several unrelated fields. A cum laude of biochemistry in Virginia Tech, he strived to learn more in the medical and classics field. As with its creator, the start of Craiglist was simple.

I don’t usually blog about contest or an instant cash here but i found an interesting competition going around at contestbeat.com.The contest is quite simple;it doesnt require any entry fee or any special post.All you have to do is make a post regarding the coolest prize that you can give.Thats pretty simple only if the price money was more than 10k.The contest says that the prize must cost US$100 or under and be able to be sent basically anywhere in the world from where you buy it. I thought scribbling a bit about my coolest 100$ prize.So here it is.I am suffering from crisis in buying a domain name and a webhosting service from recent times.So in my cool prize i would include a domain name and a 3 month webhosting from Dreamhost.That will cost me about 32$.

For remaining $68 i will buy A creative Zen V 2GB player which costs about $67.88.And for remaining $0.22 i will give it as the prize money.So it all fits in place.With 3 months of webhosting and domain name i will surely earn enough money.And the Creative player would work when i get tired writing my new blog.So it all ends pretty productive.The contest ends on October 15 so its smart if you acts quickly.I think i stand a good chance of winning this one and if you want to give me a tough contest,then start going and writing about this one.More info at Contestbeat.com Its sure very cool to write about cool stuff.

A New York iPhone user is so enraged with Apple’s $200 cut-off on iPhone that the she is suing Apple Inc for 1 million dollar(£490,000).Just after 15 days of price cut, Dongmei Li of New York filed a lawsuit in federal court in NY.Dongmei Li claimed the company violated price discrimination laws when it slashed the price of the 8-gigabyte iPhone by a third, from $599 to $399, within two months of the gadget’s June debut.She has accused Apple for price discrimination, discrimination in offering rebates versus credits, underselling, and unfair and deceptive practices, among other charges.Amongst the early buyers of iPhone she wasnt expecting the price to fall insuch extend after just 68 days to phone’s release.Even though Company has offered $100 credit for early buyers she still doesnt look pleased as for those who bought after two week of release were given $200 as compensation.It doesnt fit correct for suing while Apple didnt force them to buy.From my sight,for who think selling the phone in short period after buying then it doesnt make sense.Just buying phone and resaling to make a profit seems some kind of stupidity.Though Ms Li thinks its right to sue for a million dollars i prefer her to buy atleast 1000+ iPhones which will make a sane sue.:) Its right said by Benjamin Franklin for people like Ms Li

For those that give up Liberty to have temporary Security deserve Neither….

Since the day of its release iPhone was taking mobile market to next level.With its cool looks and cutting edge features you would have expected it go on high.While many mobiles players have tried to cut iPhone sales a new name is added to iPhone rivals.Samsung and Danish design firm Bang and Olufsen announced their latest collaboration .The phone is named Serenata and was released on Tuesday.Serenata comes with an inbuilt 4GB memory , a 2.26 inch touch screen LCD display and a navigation wheel first of its kind on Samsung mobile.A unusual built for the phone was seen as screen was in place were we usually have keypads. The navigation wheel was above the screen which didn’t seem to be looking fabulous but sure a different look.Samsung still feels that they can match to level of iPhone and stands a chance to beat their rivals.If Serenata features better network,faster data transfer and easy keypads it makes a better chance to survive the PDA market.Many phones do have taken iPhone rivalry to next level like the one with HTC but iPhone have still managed to keep its head high.Version’s new LG phone is also in league with iPhone rivals.They have declared saying that they will literally kill iphone sales and end iphone legacy(we will have a post on that one too.).With such colossal race between iPhone rivals its seems very ambitious for Samsung. The handsets will go on sale by end of October.Phone’s pricing is yet to be done but we at least can expect to be less than iPhone

                                                                                                                                                                         A weird news but its true.Playing wireless consoles will not be allowed to operate during flight after an authorized law implementing a ban on Monday.Flights officials have prohibited the use of wireless gaming consoles in aircraft.A recent research concluded that the electromagnetic waves emitted from wireless consoles interferes the aircraft navigation system which makes a bit hazardous for the officials. Japan Ministry officials have though allowed the use of video games which doesn’t provide wireless technology which also includes gadgets like calculators,electronic razors and CD players.Wireless computer mouse are also included in prohibited items along with wireless headphones.Ban seems to trouble few of my friends who weren’t allowed to play their Nitendo DS in during flight hours.But still they managed playing with old gameboy which lacked wireless connectivity(and they were allowed too). The problem thats troubling me is that what if the ban does globally.Flights do get boring with Nitendo and PS.Lets hope the banned doesnt go globally. Read more

                                                                                                                                                              Microsoft has been working round the clocks to compete with pace of Apple.Ever since iPod was launched,it has seen a steep graph of sales with more than 100 million sold since 2001 .To compete with iPod , Zune is launching 3 of its model this year around.The players will come in 4GB,8GB and 80 GB with wi-fi facilities making an easy interface with computers and mobile devices.A feature which Apple lacks.Microsoft has also  launched  a social networking site to allow Zune users to share music and photos .All the remaining models for Zune will be launched in mid-November.Price ranging from $149 to $249.Microsoft are still using with old circular touch sensitive navigation button.Still not making any great impressions i would rather wait for apple to set a new model instead of buying new Zune.

Yahoo announced on Tuesday their new search feature for Yahoo!!Search enhancing their algorithm to produce prominent quality results.Since Google,Live search and many other search engines were eating up yahoo’s client it was time for Yahoo to make moves.Yahoo! launched their new Search Assist feature enabling user with new results.What Yahoo thinks is that when someone uses a search engine they don’t worry with results but all it matters is to get their things done.Keeping this agenda in mind Yahoo has made quite few changes to their search options.They are now producing relevant results like google which makes more options around for users.Eg if you looking for Earth,then you may end with results ranging from Earth to solar system and other planets.h .Check out the search box.My search on money savings showing other corresponding results(Good feature helping you  with more option). So its basically an increment in search queries.A new graphic has been enabled with a change in header as well as the footer which looks desirable.The search tool box has moved to left which makes easier to view queries.Yahoo says that these changes have 61% increment in satisfaction to search results for users. So newly improved Yahoo is what we are going to see in for quite some time.Yahoo had faced a severe downfall in shares with Google and ASK taking majority of search market.This  was the reason why they had to come up with something new.Lets hope it works well for them.
