Nokia latest to feel wrath of Jobs

Low battery and other issues

I do notice that the battery level in this video is at it's lowest. But that means that the phone will actually use less power when transmitting data or voice calls. In this video, it shows 3.5G. But on Nokia phones that actually means that the phone is transmitting data over a 3G network, in that case the signal might be subject to a phonomon called "cell breathing". That is, more users pr the cell site, the coverage goes down.

According to information, AT&T in the U.S users 850/1900Mhz for 3G coverage and GSM. It also matters what frequencies are used, as 850Mhz goes a longer in terms of coverage when then 1900Mhz is used. This also effects the mobile phone power, as 850Mhz uses 2W but 1900Mhz only 1W.

I own a Nokia N78 and other Nokia phones and I have never seen this problem that they appears to have just made there. How they made it is unclear. But it is clear that the phone was running on low battery and with data connection running, given the 3.5 marking close to the signal bar.

If Apple wants to be believable, they will repeat that test will a full battery.

Useless traffic isn't DDOS

Useless traffic isn't DDOS for one. It's useless traffic, nothing more.

The judge possibly is a scientologist, as the scientologist like to have people with power within there ranks.

I however recommend that the U.S government start to use anti-terrorism law agents the cult of Scientology, they do plan to take over the U.S and from there the rest of the world.

Google blames developers for lousy Android battery life

Google figures the power out

I own a Huawei U8230 Android phone. I have been discovering that just using Wifi or other features on the phone really draw the battery level fast and without mercy.

The battery also seems to last less because how much the Os it self is taking from the CPU and the battery.

This needs to be fixed, but I am hopeful that it is going to be fixed in time. My phone is using Android 1.5 and that is hopelessly outdated given that the newest versions of Android is 2.1. But that is a fault of Huawei, not Google.

Mean ash cloud

The ash cloud from Eyjafjallajökull was quite mean and big few days ago. The eruption now is about four times bigger then last eruption in 2004 in Grímsfjalli.

Ash also makes a jet engine into a scrap engine in no time. Things will get better when Eyjafjallajökull has stopped erupted. But until then, hope for the best.
