The following infographic is quite true in most respects. Given the fact that we spend most of our online time interacting with people who we never seem to interact physically, over social networks of different flavours and privacy labels. Do you agree?

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:
Here’s the right way to do it.

Finally, something good happening for Samsung Galaxy Portal on T-Mobile UK (No points for guessing what my current phone is).
After being stuck with Android 1.5 aka the cupcake for almost a decade and a half ( it felt that long at least), T-mobile has finally decided to give its (now) older phone – the Galaxy Portal the much awaited Eclair upgrade. This would finally bring a lot of awesomeness to the new phone such as Live wallpapers, better ROM stability, much better memory utilisation and compatibility with all those new apps in the Android market which work for Android 2.1 onwards.
This announcement comes from a T-Mobile employee on its product support forums where customers have been moaning about why the carrier has been delaying the roll out of Eclair for so long, when 3-mobile released the Galaxy portal with Eclair out of the box. The announcement can be read here.
What is not clear, is that the employee’s comment mentions – We will be releasing a software update for the Samsung Galaxy Portal within the next month. This will update your Samsung Galaxy Portal to Android 2.1.
Hence, there is no ETA provided. Well, I’ll surely be refreshing that damn forum page for sure for at least a thousand times a day.

Google Image search is one of the most visited search engines. Be it searching for normal images we want for a project, or something we want to grace our desktop/laptop as a wallpaper. And more often than not, it is the latter. So, it is quite cumbersome when it comes to searching on Google Images for the appropriate sized – or in other words, wallpaper sized images from the huge list of thumbnails. It is a further pain to sort out by clicking on each of them to verify if they are indeed good looking images in the full size, and if they are not pixelised.
The solution: a Google Image Search hack which allows Full size image results, no thumbnails whatsoever, for your full viewing pleasure. [ as shown in the pic above]
The link is here:
Google Image Ripper » Dear Computer,.
Enter your search keyword, choose your size – which ranges from icon to xxlarge to huge. Press “Rip Google” and voila. Just be prepared to be hit by a massive wall of wallpapers. And just for your viewing pleasure, I’ll attach a massive High Definition wallpaper of Inception. Of course, this one’s a thumbnail, so do click on it to enjoy it in full HD glory. [ The image below might take a while to load ]
