M-6 worth Rs 4499... Worth it or not?

Spice mobile has come up with a sports edition model M-6. The target consumers are sports professionals and freaks. The model comes up with good features for professionals but is not an all round bet.
M-6 Sports edition
















The M-6 comes up with a 1.3 Mp camera. One just cannot take pictures from it. But the connectivity features are really promising. It is bundled with GPRS, WAP, stereo Bluetooth capabilities. The new version of stereo bluetooth is a promising feature introduced in it, probably, good for sportspersons. The M-6 has a opera mini browser inbuilt. Yet, this phone lacks on one of the hottest technologies in market, 3G. But, one can argue that at such low a price it may not possible to give everything. Another interesting feature is the radio recording feature. These features combined together make M-6 a good bet within the range of the common man's pockets.

Converting a normal SIM into a micro SIM is extremely easy. This is chiefly for users who have not yet got access to micro SIM.

Required materials: A scissor, a piece of paper, scale.
Step 1: First take out a normal SIM.
Step 2: Mark the dimensions of the micro SIM in that SIM.
...and 100!
Use the ruler for this purpose.

In the market, SIM cutters are being sold at a high price which follow the same technique. In Malayasia, this SIM cutter costs Rs 2000. Modified micro SIM will be a big hit in countries like India where the iPhone 4 is yet to hit stores.

Google Chrome has released a patch!

Google Chrome has finally come with a patch that exposed security concerns among users worldwide. Though the complexity of the risk was not revealed, but google has assured that these issues have been taken care of.
New Google Favicon High Resolution

Facing three acute problems, chrome has been updated and, thankfully there is a patch. There were a host of issues which google looked after. One of them was the storing of URls in the google database through CHROME. That means, any website that is viewed through CHROME leaves a copy in the google database (although the feature could be turned off). Besides, Google Update comes up with CHROME and gets installed. And, removing it is a tedious job.
CHROME, in a short time span, has been able to gain a good market share of 8.3%. Internet explorer is still enjoying the top spot, but is rapidly chased by Firefox which is running close, second, with 31.01%. The interesting matter in this competition is that Google is behind CHROME. And, whatever has Google touched, it has become an immediate success.
