pc guru: Guys i went to get a tecno phone for my bro and got a tecno D3 so we got talking about how tecno was impressive with their android phones, and one of them decided to show me a prototype of a new tecno phone coming soon, guys i was shocked it has the dame UI as the Samsung S3, and its quite big too, had lots of mad 3d performance games and all, and said it was going to pitch against the Samsung S3, it was around 30-36k range, its marvellous, it looks far better than the N3 and D3 together.

Timsilver: drag baba! check d dpecks of both phones and compare. It definately install apps on d mmc but just like any other device some must still go to d phone memory.

cluzdcobra: FYI:am in lag,so if u interested drop me a line.

12 Google Search Tips

1. Explicit Phrase:
Lets say you are looking for content about internet marketing. Instead of just typing internet marketing into the Google search box, you will likely be better off searching explicitly for the phrase. To do this, simply enclose the search phrase within double quotes. Example: "internet marketing"

2. Exclude Words: Lets say you want to search for content about internet marketing, but you want to exclude any results that contain the term advertising. To do this, simply use the "-" sign in front of the word you want to exclude. Example Search: internet marketing -advertising

3. Site Specific Search: Often, you want to search a specific website for content that matches a certain phrase. Even if the site doesn’t support a built-in search feature, you can use Google to search the site for your term. Simply use the "site:somesite.com" modifier. Example: "internet marketing" site:www.smallbusinesshub.com

4. Similar Words and Synonyms: Let’s say you want to include a word in your search, but want to include results that contain similar words or synonyms. To do this, use the "~" in front of the word. Example: "internet marketing" ~professional

5. Specific Document Types: If you’re looking to find results that are of a specific type, you can use the modifier "filetype:". For example, you might want to find only PowerPoint presentations related to internet marketing. Example: "internet marketing" filetype:ppt

6. This OR That: By default, when you do a search, Google will include all the terms specified in the search. If you are looking for any one of one or more terms to match, then you can use the OR operator. (Note: The OR has to be capitalized). Example: internet marketing OR advertising

7. Phone Listing: Let’s say someone calls you on your mobile number and you don’t know who it is. If all you have is a phone number, you can look it up on Google using the phonebook feature. Example: phonebook:617-555-1212 (note: the provided number does not work – you’ll have to use a real number tog get any results).

8. Area Code Lookup: If all you need to do is to look-up the area code for a phone number, just enter the 3-digit area code and Google will tell you where it’s from. Example: 617

9. Numeric Ranges: This is a rarely used, but highly useful tip. Let’s say you want to find results that contain any of a range of numbers. You can do this by using the X..Y modifier (in case this is hard to read, what’s between the X and Y are two periods.) This type of search is useful for years (as shown below), prices, or anywhere where you want to provide a series of numbers. Example: president 1940..1950

10. Stock (Ticker Symbol): Just enter a valid ticker symbol as your search term and Google will give you the current financials and a quick thumb-nail chart for the stock. Example: GOOG

11. Calculator: The next time you need to do a quick calculation, instead of bringing up the Calculator applet, you can just type your expression in to Google. Example: 48512 * 1.02

12. Word Definitions: If you need to quickly look up the definition of a word or phrase, simply use the "define:" command. Example: define:plethora

Hope this list of Google search tips proves useful in your future Google searches.

Omolola1: I was arguing with a muslim fanatic this evening on the celebration of new year, he said they don't believe in it, something like they follow the islamic calendar

I saw some alfa's in mosques yesterday praying on my way back from the crossover service, when I told him this, he said those alphas weren't practising the religion well.

According to him, muslims do not celebrate new year!
Is this true?

I mean "new year" is a worldwide thing, everyone has cause to celebrate, could this be true?

maclatunji: Such a comment is expected by some simple-minded folks. How you chose to pray has little or nothing to do with "enjoying life". However, it is an expression of your religious beliefs.

Obviously, your vocabulary is limited, that is why you equate being principled to extremism. I am close to being convinced that you are a simpleton-in-thought. Don't make it a fact by responding to me in like manner to your first post on this thread.

deols: So he (the Prophet Muhammad) fasted on this day and told the people to fast.

Al-Shaafa’i and his companions, Ahmad, Ishaaq and others said: It is mustahabb [recommended] to fast both the ninth and the tenth, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) fasted the tenth and intended to fast the ninth. Based on this, there are different ways of fasting ‘Ashoora’, the least of which is to fast the tenth only, but it is better to fast the ninth as well. The more one fasts in Muharram, the better. (islamqa.info)

The prophet observed the fast on Ashuraa (the 10th of Muharram), and ordered (Muslims) to fast on that day. (Agreed upon Hadith i.e. Bukhari & Muslim).

Narrated by Abi Katada: The prophet was asked about fasting on ‘Ashuraa’ (the 10th of Muharram), he said: “it expiates the previous year (for sins).” (Sahih Muslim)

It was proven from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that the best fasting after Ramadaan is fasting in the month of Muharram. It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “The best fasting after Ramadan is the month of Allah Muharram, and the best prayer after the obligatory prayer is prayer at night.” Narrated by Muslim, 1163.

anjyskye: what can one do for d gurus 2 attend 2 u?
My nokia e5 cannot install app or games after downloading, changed d access to wap still d same alwaz sayin disconnected. Plsss anssss me dis tym ooooo

Movingcoil: though I've made the mistake and ryt now all I need is a solution ie I need help. I bought my nokia e6 since august or september last year though it normally falls but not 2 hard or too much, it never had any problem. Recently I had to flash my phone with a custom firmware of belle refresh by myself with no problem. The rom patcher in embedded in the firmware as an app had a patch 4 increasing loudspeaker sound which I applied plus several patches and modd I found online which ran with no problem. I noticed the loudspeaker sound mod had an effect on the earpiece ie it made it have some grainy sound output which I somehow ignored since it was serving itz purpose. Sometime last 2 weeks the earpiece stopped working ie I couldn't hear wat some1 on d other side was saying, the mistake I made was to give it 2 d guy dat replaced it cos I could do it myself If I decide 2 do it and bring out time for it but dat one is by d way. D guy in d process of handling my phone did somtn 2 d proximity sensor, right now once I dial a number to call, the proximity sensor activates without d infra red being blocked, the screen just goes blank wid d red infra red on.
If som1 calls me I don't see d number calling cos d screen blacks out until I finish d call, I had to activate saying d caller name 2 know d person calling me. i don't know if anyone hav had dz type of problem, how did he solve it? And is it somtn dat I can do cos I love experimenting with my electronics, is a hardware or software related problem?
