The real iPhone from Nokia? - ¿El verdadero iPhone es de Nokia?

Exactly. As you hear. Nokia is presenting their new NSeries phone line with amazing models from my point of view.

Take the N95 for example. According to Xataka this unit will have double slider, 5 Mpx camera with Carl Zeiss lens, Wi-Fi, HSDPA, Bluetooth 2.0, USB 2.0, microSD card reader, GPS with maps of more than 100 different countries and podcasting support.

Also, take note of these models: Nokia N70 Music Edition, Nokia N73 Music Edition y Nokia N91, these babies have 1, 2, and 8Gb units as specs in tuexperto.

Now, this is what we are expecting, Apple. Yeah, I know that Nokia will never beat Apple in design and “coolness”, because Apple is Apple. But I really think that Nokia is the only one who can make a real competence to Apple when it comes to functionality.

Please, don’t speak about SonyEricsson Walkman because the only nice thing about them is their sound quality. But I cannot call my partner in the next room, because phone features sucks!

I hope Nokia can take these models and enhance them so you can use them because of their functionality and also because of their nice looking design.

Apple, take note, and please don’t let the iPhone be just a clamshell with iTunes!

"I’m a Mac" guy on ‘Die Hard 4′ - El chico "Soy una Mac" en ‘Duro de Matar 4′

Via digg.

“Hi, I’m a Mac”. Sure you’ve listened to that line in a couple of Mac ads.

Justin Long and Maggie Q are coming aboard “Live Free or Die Hard” 20th Century Fox’s fourth installment of the “Die Hard” series.

Bruce Willis is reprising his role as John McLane. The story centers on an attack on the U.S.’ computer infrastructure that begins to shut the country down. The mysterious figure behind the scheme has figured out every digital angle but never counts on an old-fashioned “analog” McLane.

Long will play a smart, younger guy who assists McLane.

Erase annoying Windows Messages - Borra los molestos mensajes de Windows

Via Bitelia.
I know that this happened to you at least once.

You are starting your machine, and as soon as it finished starting, you are receiving like 200 balloon tips, saying “There are unused icons on your desktop” or “A new hardware has been detected” or stupid things like those.
Don’t you just want to hit your screen and say: “shut up, you crappy OS!! Let me do my work”?

Well at least this happened to me, so, here it is how you can disable this annoying option:

  • Go to START > Run; and write regedit and hit Enter.
  • In Registry Editor, go to HKEYCURRENTUSER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Explorer\Advanced.
  • Create a new DWORD value in Edit > New > DWORD value. You have to give it the following name: EnableBalloonTips and set the value to 0.
  • Exit regedit and restart your PC.

    So, that’s it. If you want them back, set the value to 1.
