The Finnish phone giant just unveiled its ambitious “Comes with Music” program: a year of free, unlimited music with every new phone, and you’ll be able to keep your tunes when the year is up. Is it too good to be true?

Nokia execs unveiled the upcoming program at the Nokia World conference in Amsterdam; details are still sketchy, but the proposal sure sounds enticing. The phone maker said it’s already inked a deal with Universal Music, and added that talks are underway with the other major labels.

There’s no word on when exactly the program will launch, or whether the music will be DRM-free or not, but Nokia reps said that when your year of free music is up, you’ll be able to keep all your tunes. Whether the music will only play on your Nokia phone or also on your PC and other devices as well is an open question. Also, it sounds like the program is only for those buying a new Nokia phone.

Nokia’s idea isn’t new; there’s been plenty of talk before of MP3 players that might come with a free music subscription, which would be subsidized by the manufacturers. Indeed, BusinessWeek reported in October that Universal Music was poking around the idea, and now here’s Nokia’s “Comes with Music” plan with Universal already signed up. Interesting.

From what I’ve heard, I like the broad strokes of Nokia’s plan, which would certainly sweeten the pill of its pricey handsets ($500 for the 4GB version of its new N81 slider…ouch).

Use four colors of string - two strands of each color, each about one yard in length.

1. Start by making the overhand knot and installing the string on your clipboard - arrange the strings with matching colors next to each other.

2. For this project the two strings of the same color will be used together as if they’re one string.

3. Start with the first two strings on the right and use them together to do the basic knot around all the other strings held together as a group. Pull the knot tight. Repeat these knots until you have a single color slide about one inch long.

4. Then use the next pair of strings to knot around all the others for an inch length also. Continue this way until your bracelet is as long as you wish. End your bracelet as usual with the overhand knot.

On 9th January at Macworld 2007 Apple revealed its firts phone, the long-awaited Iphone. But it was partly a disappointment. Why is that ? I’ll give you the top 5 reasons:
1) Apple Iphone has NO 3G

You put a 3.5″ touchscreen TFT display with a resolution of 320×480 pixels on the phone, you call it somewhat “Internet-oriented” and you ONLY GIVE IT EDGE ? This is an outrage to say the least.
2) Apple Iphone has a 2MP Camera

This is more than “last year”, how can you come in 2007 and annouce that your highly expected phone has a 2MP camera. That’s insane, Nokia N95 will have a 5 (FIVE) MP camera, and plenty more mobile phones have already at least a 3MP camera
3) Apple Iphone comes with 4Gb or 8GB of memory

Oh no they didn’t, but … they DID. They have only put a maximum of 8GB in the Apple Iphone. You bring products with 80GB and you put in your phone only EIGHT ? Bad Apple, bad, bad, bad …
4) Apple Iphone battery life

With the 3.5 inch touchscreen display, and the thickness of 11.6mm, you can expect Apple Iphone battery to die after even less than 2 days of music listening, talking on the phone and surfing the web. Unacceptable for this product.
5) Apple Iphone huge price

They are really crazy, the price in Cingular networks for the 4GB model with a 2 year plan is 499$ !!! And for the 8GB one, 599$. They may be relying on Apple fans for sells but that’s too bold, even from them.

Every once in a while, a computer user ends up with a dead keyboard. You usually have an electrical or electronic culprit in a keyboard demise. An electrical breakdown may involve a frayed or broken connecting cable; failure of the keyboard’s processor, which translates key strokes into scan codes that the CPUS recognizes and acts upon, may cause an electronic problem.
Poking your head in

If your keyboard stops working, open the laptop, removing whatever pieces stand in the way of getting at the connections to the internal keyboard. (These obstacles may include plastic casings, the hard drive, the battery, and sometimes much more.) Check the ribbon cable and power connector that go between the keyboard and the motherboard. Sometimes, nothing more than a loose cable causes the problem. Remove and reattach the cable, reinstall the parts that you removed, and try the system.

For this approach, and all other work that takes you inside the covers of your laptop, be sure to consult the repair manual for your machine. You may have received a copy of the manual at the time of purchase, or you may find the manual on the Internet, available as a PDF or HTML (Web page). Place the computer on a sturdy, well-lighted surface and provide yourself with numbered or lettered containers for parts. Keep a notepad and pen nearby to keep track of all of the steps that you take. You can use an empty egg container to store your computer parts; mark each of the dozen egg cups and track which cup contains which parts in your notes. Be sure to ground yourself before touching any internal part of the machine.
Going shopping

If adjusting the cables doesn’t fix the problem, you can choose to replace the laptop’s keyboard with a new unit.

When shopping for a replacement keyboard, you may find three types of offerings:

* An original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement: A new unit exactly like the ones that the laptop manufacturer uses. Note that very few laptop marketers - including Dell, IBM, Compaq, HP, and Gateway - actually make their own models.

* A compatible replacement: A new unit that’s promised to work in your laptop although not specifically designed for that purpose. Be very careful to make sure that the seller guarantees the replacement will fit in your machine and work properly. Be very specific about the model number and the serial number, and be sure that you agree with the seller’s return policy in case it turns out to be not quite as compatible as promised.

* A refurbished replacement: Either a new unit removed from a laptop where other components have failed or a used unit that a competent technician has repaired. Be sure that you understand any warranty offered by the seller.

Working around

If you have a failed laptop keyboard, you can also try to find a way to work around the built-in unit. Unless the motherboard fails - which is a much more serious issue than a mere keyboard - you should be able to attach an external keyboard to a laptop. You may find this approach an acceptable workaround if you use the laptop on a desk, but you may not find it a great solution for the seatback tray of an airliner.

You can use any desktop replacement keyboard with a laptop; you only have to match its connector to an available port. Some laptops offer a PS/2 keyboard or mouse connector; or you can purchase a keyboard that uses a USB port for attachment.

You can attach a USB keyboard while the laptop is running. To safely add a keyboard that uses a PS/2 port (an option available only on older models), you probably want to turn off the laptop and install the plug for the new board before reapplying power; this precaution prevents accidental shorts or static jolts to the system.

So our class in our “Advance web programming” resumed last day ( December 3 ) and out teacher asked us to create an account in any online free web hosting company and yeah we spent our 1 1/2 hour searching for a company that offers “free” hosting .
