| VoIP for dummies |
| 2008-06-12 02:35:00 |
Using voice over IP, from any computer or telephone (IP phone or regular phones with ATA) connected to the internet with a broadband connection (though dial ups can still make calls) can call another computer or phone at a fraction of usual cost, or absolutely free. In other words VoIP can turn a standard Internet connection into a way to place free phone calls or almost free.The main idea is to use a software like softphones or hardware like IP phones and to make a phone call bypassing the phone company together with its charges.VoIP is slowly replacing traditional voice communications and access to it can take place today from most any kind of telephony device whether physical or digital. Traditional telephones can easily access low-cost VoIP services like...

| Knowing VoIP |
| 2008-06-12 00:05:00 |
VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) or IP telephony is rapidly changing the way we communicate. Aside from being a lot more cheaper than traditional phones, certain features such as portability makes it attractive for residential and business owners alike. But as with all modern technologies, VoIP has its own disadvantages. These flaws are minor, and solutions are being worked out as you read this. One thing is clear, though. The advantages of VoIP clearly outweighs its disadvantages.VoIP is dependent on bandwidth. Even the best of the best ISP (Internet Service Provider) experience technical issues. Since VoIP uses your Internet connection, it is bound to be affected. If your Internet is down, you will not be able to make or receive a call. If your connecti...

| From Hero to Zero |
| 2008-06-11 07:38:00 |
Lewis Hamilton went from hero to zero after crashing into Ferrari's world champion Kimi Raikkonen in a bizarre pit-lane pile-up at the Canadian Grand Prix.Lewis, a near champion last year (lost by a point) made a silly stupid mistake by ramming to Kimi Raikonnen in the pit lane. The 23-year-old McLaren driver, who covered himself in glory by winning in Monaco two weeks ago, kissed goodbye to his championship lead with the most embarrassing moment of his fledgling Formula One career.Hamilton, who was branded "stupid" by Raikkonen, was handed a 10-place grid penalty for shunting the world champion out of the Montreal race in a pit-lane collision last Sunday.Leading the race from pole position at the scene of his first grand prix victory last year, Hamilton plo...

Cook that is. It doesn't came as a suprise but I was hoping David Archuleta could pull this one off. Cook is already a celebrity and almost guaranteed a success even without the Idol trophy but Archuleta is the underdog here and is not as Youtube famous as Cook.

Striking in mid afternoon, it emptied office buildings across the country in Beijing and could be felt as far away as Vietnam. Snippets from state media and photos posted on the Internet underscored the immense scale of the devastation. ...

| 2008-05-10 04:21:00 |
From an initial 350 people on the day after cyclone Nargis hit Myanmar 6 days ago, the death toll now could reach 100,000 due to furhter delays in relief effort.The cyclone devastated the country's low-lying Irrawaddy delta region May 3, leaving more than 1 million people homeless, according to the UN. An estimated 80,000 people died in the delta's Labutta district alone, Agence France-Presse reported, citing local military official Tin Win.Myanmar is not known to have an adequate disaster warning system and many rural buildings are constructed of thatch, bamboo and other materials easily destroyed by fierce storms. "The government misled people. They could have warned us about the severity of the coming cyclone so we c...

Narain Karthikeyan, a former F1 driver who drove for Jordan F1 team now drives for Indian Team in A1 GP series must be the fastest Indian in the world. A1 Team India and Narain just won the season finale at Brands Hatch last Sunday and proving to the world that India can compete in a world of motorsports.India was involved in a race-long battle with Robbie Kerr of home nation Great Britain, who notched up another home race podium after a strong drive.

Kobe will finally get his NBA MVP this season and we don't have to wait for the official announcement. Kobe waited for so long and been a Laker all his entire career and this year he deserves to get that MVP.Night in and night out, Kobe gives his 100 percent even playing through pain and I found an article that explained it all -> http://www.sportshubla.com/2008/03/08/the-mvp-race-its-kobe-over-king-james-and-heres-why/An excerpt:Charles Barkley has already said it so many times, you hear it in your sleep. And now Lebron has said it too. Kobe is the best player in the game. If you ask the 360 active NBA players who the best and most complete all-around player is, I don’t think it’s exaggerating to say at least 250 and possibly 300 would say Kobe, not including Ray Allen and Raja Bell,...

| Tornadoes hit Virginia |
| 2008-04-28 21:29:00 |
SUFFOLK, Va. - Three tornadoes ripped through Virginia on Monday, with one hop-scotching across the southeastern part of the state and leaving behind a 25-mile trail of gutted homes, tossed cars and more than 200 injured residents.Residents of some of the hardest hit neighborhoods in this town outside Norfolk were forced to evacuate their homes, with buses taking them to nearby shelters. Police closed roads, steering people away from streets with downed power lines.Downed trees and power lines covered the streets in a section of the city. A vending machine was tilted on its side, leaning up against a pile of rubble that had been the general store in a small shopping district."It's just a bunch of broken power poles, telephone lines and sad faces," said R...

| Trapped in an Elevator for 41 hours!!! |
| 2008-04-22 22:17:00 |
It started with a routine cigarette break for Nicholas White and ended with a 41 hour ordeal inside the elevator with no food or water and all alone.It was the longest cigarette break of Nicholas White's life or anyone for that matter.The 34-year-old New York production manager was working late one Friday night in October when he went outside for a smoke. He was returning to his office on the 39th floor when the elevator stopped abruptly between floors. White pressed the alarm, letting it ring and ring. But at 11 p.m. the building was deserted, and it would be nearly two days before White was rescued. He paced around the elevator like a bug trapped in a box, fighting claustrophobia every minute of his 41-hour ordeal, which was captured on a video surveil...

A video posted on the internet showing Philippine doctors laughing while removing an object from a patient may lead to charges against the surgeons and cost them their medical licenses, officials said Wednesday.The nearly 3-minute video of a noisy operating room shows doctors and nurses laughing, giggling and cheering. At one point, a hand appears with a cell phone camera taking a close-up picture of the surgery. As a doctor gingerly pulls out the 6-inch long canister from the male patient's rectum, someone shouts, "Baby out!" amid loud cheers.The doctor then removes the canister cap and sprays the contents toward the crowd of nurses and doctors viewing the procedure. The video has angered the unidentified patient who plans to press charges, his lawyer Guiller Ceniza said Wednesday.The gov...

| Skyline thief caught by cyber squad |
| 2008-04-14 23:11:00 |
I just joined beyond.ca when I noticed the Skyline stolen thread about a couple of young guys test drove it and never returned. I watched the whole thing unfold and how they caught the thief. The thread reached more than a million views in just 5 days, some kind of a record I guess.Anyways, I saw NY times published it in their website and here's what they had to say about it:EARLY on the afternoon of March 26, two young men visited Heritage Auto Sales, a specialty dealership in Calgary, Alberta. They asked to test-drive a dark gray 1991 Nissan Skyline GT-R, a performance model made primarily for the Japanese market and rarely seen in North America.One of the men had been to the dealership a week earlier for a ride, but he and Mr. Ironside didn’t get far. The car, with an engine modified ...

| Basic VoIP information |
| 2008-04-01 08:10:00 |
Let me blog about basic information about VoIP and call it VoIP 101. VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is simply the transmission of voice traffic over IP-based networks. The Internet Protocol (IP) was originally designed for data networking. The success of IP in becoming a world standard for data networking has led to its adaption to voice networking. The Economics of VoIPVoIP has become popular largely because of the cost advantages to consumers over traditional telepone networks. Most Americans pay a flat monthly fee for local telephone calls and a per-minute charge for long-distance calls. VoIP calls can be placed across the Internet. Most Internet connections are charged using a flat monthly fee structure. U...

| Jordan has had access to Force India |
| 2008-03-27 03:24:00 |
Former Formula One team owner Eddie Jordan has had the main entry road to Force India's Silverstone factory blocked off in a dispute over access across land he owns.The Irish entrepreneur sold the team that is now Force India to Midland before the 2006 season but kept ownership of some of the surrounding land.Local sources said concrete blocks had been placed across the main access while Force India were in Malaysia for last weekend's second race of the season and employees were having to use another entrance.Jordan told Reuters on Wednesday that he had waited for two years for the factory owners to open talks about buying the rest of the land."I had to make a stand, they have to come and talk to me," he said. "I paid for th...

| Cheaper international calls |
| 2008-02-27 03:31:00 |
What’s the cheapest way to call my family overseas on my cell phone?There are a couple of options here, including a new one that should be intriguing for frequent overseas callers. You’ve probably realized that calling overseas from a cell phone is a real drain on the wallet. For example, it costs $1.49 per minute to call Colombia on a Verizon Wireless cell phone. On AT&T, it’s $2.19. But if you’ve had the foresight to sign up for their international calling plans for $3.99 monthly, the cost is 20 cents or 17 cents a minute, respectively. That’s still expensive. You could get lower prices by getting a calling card, but beware of gotchas like connection fees, weekly fees and billing in five-minute chunks. Outright fraud is also ram...

| Lindsay Lohan like it naked |
| 2008-02-22 06:07:00 |
Lindsay Lohan is as popular as ever. The 21-year-old starlet and her fans overwhelmed New York magazine's Web site and readers complained of not being able to load its pages, which contained nude photos of Lohan posing as Marilyn Monroe. The photos resemble those taken of Monroe in her mid-30s. Lohan posed in a blond wig for the same photographer who shot the famous Monroe pictures. In the collection, Lohan sports translucent scarves, a veil, diamonds, dramatic eyeliner, freckles, and little else. Bert Stern shot the photos at the Hotel Bel-Air, the site of his 1962 photo session with Monroe. The location, props, and photographer may be the same, but Lohan's, uh, attributes aren't quite the same....

| Bestbuy? I don't think so. |
| 2008-02-21 09:34:00 |
Don’t dismiss Raelyn Campbell as a crackpot. Not yet. Listen to her story, and then decide if she’s doing the right thing by asking Best Buy to compensate her to the tune of $54 million for a laptop that went missing when she took it in to Best Buy for repair under the store’s own extended warranty.Like many people, Campbell bought an extended warranty for her laptop when she bought it from Best Buy, and she took advantage of that when the power button broke off after a year. Best Buy accepted the machine for repair and said it would be ready in two to six weeks. But six weeks passed and the computer wasn’t ready. After three months of ruthlessly hounding the company, Best Buy finally admitted it couldn’t find the machine. Ultimately, Best Buy offered to pay her $900 for los...

| Snacks to help you sleep at night |
| 2008-02-20 03:33:00 |
Last week I featured here in my blog things/food to avoid to get a healthy sleep at night. This time let tell you what food/snacks to eat to help you sleep at night.Let me start with one of the best natural sedatives which is tryptophan, an amino acid component of many plant and animal proteins.Tryptophan is one of the ingredients necessary for the body to make serotonin, the neurotransmitter best known for creating feelings of calm, and for making you sleepy.However, the trick is to combine foods that have some tryptophan with ample carbohydrate. That’s because in order for insomnia-busting tryptophan to work, it has to make its way to the brain. Unfortunately, all amino acids compete for transport to the brain. When you add carbs, they cause the releas...

Did you know the average health club exerciser quits after just six months for one of the following reasons: 1. Not Enough Time 2. Not Seeing ResultsSadly, most people become frustrated and quit exercising before they see any real results. But it's not surprising given the common mistakes many people make with their training programs. Are you making these workout mistakes?Common Reasons Your Workouts Don't Work All Quantity, No Quality Take a look around the gym (if you haven't quit going yet) and see how many people are really getting a quality workout. I'm always amazed by how many people are wandering aimlessly, walking leisurely on a treadmill while reading a book, lifting weights so light that not one hair moves out of place, or simply look bored.

| Bentley goes diesel power |
| 2008-02-18 09:29:00 |
Given the enthusiastic response to its Audi R8 V12 TDI concept not to mention its diesel-powered dominance of prototype endurance racing in the Le Mans and American Le Mans series, it hardly comes as a surprise to learn that the Volkswagen Group is mulling over a diesel engine for its rarefied Bentley range.Similar to Rolls-Royce, which is also considering such an engine for its forthcoming RR4 model, the Bentley seems a wholly logical recipient for a low-revving, torque-rich diesel engine, now that now that advanced engine-management and emission-control systems have consigned the noisy, foul-smelling diesel to history.Although either VW's existing 5.0-liter V-10 TDI or Audi's under-devel...

| China, Taiwan and HongKong cheap calling rates |
| 2008-02-16 05:22:00 |
My favorite calling card company Onesuite.com recently dropped their rates for calling China, Taiwan and Hongkong for the whole month of February, in time for Chinese New year celebrations. Long distance rates are lowered from 2.2 cents per minute to 1.8 cents per minute to China and from 3 cents per minute to 1.9 cents per minute to Taiwan. Gone are the days where everyone talks hurriedly when talking on an overseas call. Competition from small and medium calling card companies like Onesuite makes consumer happy and big players trying to re asses their positions. Now everyone can enjoy calling their love ones with the reduced rates for as low as 1.8 cent...

| Edison Chen scandal reached Hollywood |

Edison Chen, a popular singer, actor and TV host in Asia, was hoping American audiences would discover him when Christopher Nolan’s newest installment in the Batman series, “The Dark Knight” is released in the United States sometime later this year. Instead, Americans are getting their first taste of this young Hong Kong actor via one of the largest sex scandals to hit the Hong Kong/Chinese film scene in recent memory. The scandal, now known as the “Edison Chen Incident,” exploded when digital photographs showing Chen apparently performing sexual acts with other Hong Kong celebrities, Bobo Chan and Gillian Chung, turned up on prominent Hong Kong Internet bulletin boards systems (BBS) and celebrity blogs. The episode not only raises important questions about privacy and censorship...

| 6 dead in another campus shooting in Northern Illinois |
| 2008-02-14 22:55:00 |
DEKALB, Ill. - A former student dressed in black walked onto the stage of a lecture hall at Northern Illinois University and opened fire on a packed science class Thursday, killing five students, wounding 16 and setting off a panicked stampede before committing suicide. Police say they have no motive for the rapid-fire assault, carried out by the gunman who fired indiscriminately into the crowd with a shotgun and two handguns as students dove to the floor and ran toward the exit. At least two of the wounded were hospitalized in critical condition. “I kept thinking, ‘Oh God, he’s going to shoot me. Oh God, I’m dead. I’m dead. I’m dead,’” said Desiree Smith, a senior journalism major who dropped to the floor near the back of the auditorium...

| Cheap ways to call long distance |
| 2008-02-14 09:07:00 |
Well because of the nature of my job, making long distance and international calls are quite norm for me for many years now. I exclusively use phone cards to save but lately the quality is getting from bad to worse. I found a couple of good ones with nice rates and better quality but the minutes randomly disappear for no reason at all so I thought of making a complaint but theres a problem...there is no support number. A close friend of mine told me about the phone card she's using and referred me (we both got bonus minutes for the referral) to Onesuite. I signed up using Paypal (you can also use Mastercard or Visa) and bought $20 ($10, $15, $20, $30 are available too) of credits and in minutes I was connected to my friend in India. Rates are very good in all countries and some (about 2 do...

| Yahoo rejects Microsoft's offer |

Yahoo Inc.'s rejection of Microsoft Corp.'s unsolicited takeover bid left investors guessing the next move in a tense mating dance that may hatch a more imposing challenger to Google Inc. or disintegrate into a bruising brawl. The rebuff, formally announced early Monday, wasn't a surprise because Yahoo had leaked its intention over the weekend. As expected, Yahoo's board unanimously decided to spurn Microsoft after concluding the offer -- originally worth $44.6 billion or $31 per share -- "substantially undervalues" one of the Internet's prized franchises. The cash-and stock deal is now valued at about $40 billion, or $28.91 per share because of a drop in Microsoft's market value. But Yahoo didn't raise antitrust concern...

| Things to avoid to sleep soundly at night |
| 2008-02-13 00:45:00 |
Can’t imagine why the sleep gods had it in for you? Think about what you ate the night before. Any of the following–much less a combo platter–can leave your body on uneasy street for hours. 1. Spicy Foods Garlic, chilies, cayenne, and other intense spices are yummy going down but can keep you up with heartburn or indigestion. Avoid MSG too, as it can trigger dreams that are a bit too vivid. At some point or another, it happens to everyone: You can’t sleep. When you finally drop off, the alarm buzzes a microsecond later. Then you can’t get up. And then it gets worse: When you finally drag yourself out of bed, you look like you-know-what. 2. A Big Dinner An overtaxed digestive system takes hours to settle down and there’s nothing restful about...

| A million miles on a truck! |
| 2008-02-12 19:46:00 |
After the Volvo and Saab, now it was Frank Oresnik's trusty Chevy Silverado pickup truck — he calls it "the old girl" — passed the 1 million-mile mark with a camera crew filming the event and a public-radio audience listening in. "I can't tell you how much fun it was," he said. "It was really humbling, all this interest." Recent news stories told how Oresnik had just 1,200 miles to go before reaching the milestone in the 1991 Chevrolet Silverado that he bought with 41,000 miles on it in 1996 and used in his business, distributing seafood and steaks in the upper Midwest. At the time, he was getting his latest oil change — the kind of regular maintenance he credits with helping to keep the truck going so long. He said he's had the truck's oil changed mo...

| Shaq can't take the Heat goes to Sun |
| 2008-02-11 04:24:00 |
Phoenix Suns became Shaquille O'neal 4th NBA team after Orlando, Los Angeles and Miami. Shaq Daddy was traded by Miami. In the trade the Suns would receive O'Neal and the Heat would receive All-Star forward Shawn Marion and guard Marcus Banks. Last week it was Pau Gasol to the Lakers team and almost everyone says it was brilliant move by Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak. In a mistaken attempt to try and stay ahead of the Lakers, Kerr traded away all-star forward Shawn Marion for broken-down Shaquille O’Neal. The Big Diesel is out of gas, has several flats and is leaking oil at an alarming rate. The slow O’Neal just doesn’t fit in the Suns’ high-octane, uptempo offense. Shaq doesn't fit offensively with the Suns. He can't run anymore. He can't shoot. He still was groaning about ...
