All of us whose work involves staring at a monitor for 6 out of 8 working hours in a day, are also aware that most organisations have PCs with Internet Explorer as the default browser. If you are unfortunate, this could well be something like the dreadful IE6. For us who love the flexibility, stability and customability of Firefox/Chrome on our home PC, settling for a stone-age browser like the IE6 is just very unsettling. After all, the sole purpose for IE over its life time is to download the other browsers. So you have decided which browser you want. But it is not always fully allowed to install them on your work PCs. There’s always that nanny IT dude restricting your admin rights on your work PC. But there’s always a sneaky way to dodge these.
Bill from Youtube channel engineerguyvideo has come up with an awesome tutorial video explaining the concepts of how fibre optic cables work and how they are used to send data/messages. In this short and concise, yet very clear video ( clocking at just 5:36 minutes), the primary concepts of the working of fibre optic cables have been discussed. Have a look at the video embedded below.
The brilliance of this video lies in the fact that how he has managed to capture the intuitive facts and bare-bone concepts of what could potentially be a complex topic of discussion replete with jargon et al.
It allows viewers to quickly grasp the concepts without being bombarded with unintelligible jargon.The mark of a great teacher if you ask me. He did more than enough explanation in those 5 minutes.
And there’s one thing that comes into my mind after watching this video – TUBES, I tell you. The whole internet is nothing but a series of tubes (or maybe complexly connected in series and parallel or a different arrangement in a different dimension).
The new Android 2.1, more popularly known as the Android Eclair, is now available to be downloaded on the Samsung Galaxy Portal on T-mobile UK. The catch is, this upgrade is not available over-the-air (OTA), but has to be initiated by the user using Samsung’s mobile PC suite – Samsung PC Studio.
This is ridiculous, since the Android is a modified version of the Linux kernel, and at its core, is Open Source. However, for the upgrade itself, it has to be connected to a Windows PC. More on that later. For now, let’s focus on the upgrading progress. And this process took me a good 4 hours to complete, until I found the easy and shortcut way to do it. Trust me, follow this process and the upgrade is done within 15 minutes flat!
What I did wrong before:
Installed Samsung PC Studio which was on the CD that came along with my phone.[ This is version 1.4. etc, which is an old one ]
Connected my phone via USB cable, and opened up Samsung PCS, and hit the Upgrade button.
It goes to download the latest install, and then on to Step 3, which is actual upgrade on the phone, and then it goes on for ages, whilst the phone keeps flashing the Samsung logo.
Here’s the right way to do it.
Install the latest version, just to be very sure. Go to Samsung Mobile UK website, and select Samsung Galaxy Portal-> Software, and download the 1.5 version of Samsung PC Studio.
Once installed { i.e. after uninstalling the previous version and installing this one } , connect your Samsung Galaxy Portal using the USB Cable. Mount your SD card.
