			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-4186" title="HTC Sensation XL" src="http://aalaap.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/htc_shows_off_the_sensation_xl_smartphone_with_beats_audio_1.jpg?w=150&#038;h=150" alt="" width="150" height="150" />Most Android phones have ridiculous names, led by masterpieces such as Samsung&#8217;s Epic Touch 4G and Captivate Glide, but HTC phone names are actually more interesting because they&#8217;re just perfect for condoms as well. Just think about it. I&#8217;ve even taken the liberty to come up with taglines for some:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>HTC Desire:</strong> You know you want me.</li>
<li><strong>HTC Titan:</strong> When size matters.</li>
<li><strong>HTC Hero:</strong> A hero comes along&#8230; with the strength to carry on&#8230;</li>
<li><strong>HTC HD mini:</strong> When size doesn&#8217;t matter.</li>
<li><strong>HTC Salsa:</strong> Spice it up!</li>
<li><strong>HTC Incredible:</strong> When words fail you.</li>
<li><strong>HTC Sensation XL:</strong> When feeling and size both matter.</li>
<li><strong>HTC Legend:</strong> Legen&#8230; wait for it&#8230;</li>
<li><strong>HTC Freestyle:</strong> Anyhow, anywhere!</li>
<li><strong>HTC Jetstream:</strong> Faster than a rocket!</li>
<li><strong>HTC Wildfire:</strong> Spreads all over&#8230;</li>
<li><strong>HTC Trophy:</strong> Take it home when you&#8217;re done!</li>
</ul>
<p>Runners up:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>HTC Dream</strong></li>
<li><strong>HTC Explorer</strong></li>
<li><strong>HTC Flyer</strong></li>
<li><strong>HTC Magic</strong></li>
<li><strong>HTC Passion </strong>(aka<strong> Google Nexus One</strong>)</li>
<li><strong>HTC Radar</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Think you can do better? Try your hand at these (pun intended): <a href="http://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?sName=HTC">http://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?sName=HTC</a></p>
<p>Feel free to tweet these out, but do tag them with <a title="Twitter Search: #HTCCondoms" href="http://twitter.com/#!/search/realtime/HTCCONDOMS" target="_blank">#HTCCondoms</a>, so it&#8217;s easier to collect all of them.</p>
<p>And remember, kids, always play it safe. Always use a well-fitting, shock-absorbing, protective rubber case for your phone. What did you think I was talking about?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This review is a work in progress. I just got the phone a couple of days ago, so I&#8217;m gonna jot down points till I can find time to write something more bloggy.</p>
<p><a href="http://aalaap.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/samsung-focus-sgh-i917.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4099" title="Samsung Focus SGH-i917" src="http://aalaap.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/samsung-focus-sgh-i917.jpg?w=300&#038;h=225" alt="Samsung Focus SGH-i917" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Feel</strong></p>
<p>The Focus is very thin, light and feels great to hold in the hand. It slides in and out of your jeans pockets smoothly. It&#8217;s not abnormally big like the Galaxy S II, so you don&#8217;t feel like you&#8217;re holding up a mousetrap next to your ear. The tapering, sloped edges on the rear don&#8217;t make it look like a boring block either.</p>
<p><strong>Display</strong></p>
<p>Fabulous colors, bright, crisp. Very readable in sunlight. The UI is beautiful and the display does justice to it and vice versa. However, it seems like this is just regular monkey display and not Gorilla glass, because I&#8217;ve managed to get a scratch on the screen in two days of use.</p>
<p><strong>Windows Phone 7</strong></p>
<p>Amazing, pleasant user interface. I like how all apps have to use the Metro UI and hence allow the experience to be consistent across everything. However, the UI is absolute, minimalist design, so you&#8217;ll find that the actions available in any app are extremely limited.</p>
<p><em>Update:</em> The phone came with the original software, which I upgraded to NoDo and finally to Mango. Integration of social networks has been extended with Twitter and LinkedIn support and the whole social experience lives inside the &#8220;Me&#8221; tile, complete with Facebook Like notifications, Twitter @ mentions and the ability to reply. This almost makes it redundant to use the Facebook and Twitter apps, unless you&#8217;re looking at something specific such as direct messaging and lists. Mango is awesome!</p>
<p><strong>Apps</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve only used Twitter, Facebook and IM+ yet, and they all work as expected. More on this later. And yeah, the Marketplace works fine for me because my Live id address is somewhere in the US. There&#8217;s no Windows 8 &#8216;charm&#8217; like functionality, so I can&#8217;t take a picture from the camera and share it using a third-party app such as Twitter or Facebook.</p>
<p>Update: Just installed a fuckload of free apps from the Marketplace. The process of installing apps is much faster than it is on Android or iOS. Editing this from the WordPress app!</p>
<p>Update: There are loads of apps. A lot of them are very feature rich, such as RunKeeper, which also offers a live tile with weekly/monthly stats. However, it doesn&#8217;t seem to support multitasking even on Mango.</p>
<p><strong>Sound and Music</strong></p>
<p>The Focus speaker is amazingly clear and sufficiently loud. All of my electronic music sounds fantastic on the speaker as well as my Klipsch Image S2s.</p>
<p>The music player seems to do everything from browsing artists, albums and all the usual stuff, but the biggest fuck up is that it ignores disc numbers stored using iTunes, so all my 2CD compilations (which make up for 80% of my music collection) alternate between tracks on either CD. This is the worst problem I&#8217;ve encountered in WP7 yet. I doubt Microsoft is working on a fix for this, so I&#8217;m going to have to listen to single CD albums only. Even BlackBerry supports multi-disc albums!</p>
<p><strong>Camera</strong></p>
<p>This has the same-ish 5 megapixel auto-focus camera with LED light as the Nexus S, but for some reason, this one is shit. Even with anti-shake enabled, it can&#8217;t focus right. Yes, the camera on the Samsung Focus can&#8217;t fucking focus right.</p>
<p><strong>Network</strong></p>
<p>Great sound quality, but very poor reception. I&#8217;m unreachable most of the time because the phone can&#8217;t get a signal. The iPhone 2G can get a decent signal on the same SIM. When there&#8217;s a signal, however, the internet browsing is pretty fast. It&#8217;s too bad there&#8217;s no switch to turn off 3G, because it&#8217;s fucking eating up my prepaid balance, man.</p>
<p><strong>Internet and e-mail:</strong></p>
<p>I feel ridiculous saying this, but the Internet Explorer experience on this phone is way better than using the Android Browser on my Nexus S. Gmail works out-of-the-box and even supports labels (as folders), but no search. Android&#8217;s Gmail experience remains numero uno.</p>
<p><strong>Hardware</strong></p>
<p>The Focus hardware is almost identical to the Nexus S, but WP7 seems to run more smoothly on the Focus than Android on the Nexus S. There&#8217;s practically no lag and the touch response is excessively smooth.</p>
<p><strong>Verdict</strong></p>
<p>I picked this up on eBay for Rs. 13,290. It&#8217;s a US AT&amp;T piece unlocked for use anywhere. At this price, I think it&#8217;s a steal. Samsung has no Windows Phone 7 handsets in India, so the closest competition is the HTC Mozart, which sells for around Rs. 16,000. It&#8217;s got a better 8 megapixel camera, but the Focus screen is 4&#8243;. And I hate HTC, so even if they sell the Mozart for Rs. 8,000, I still won&#8217;t buy or recommend it.</p>
<p>More to come&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are still too many websites with Flash intros and a &#8216;skip intro&#8217; link out there &#8211; mostly thanks to anal clients and/or web developers who missed the cool bus. If you&#8217;ve chanced upon one too many of these websites, the Skip Intro extension for Google Chrome will come in handy. It will automatically click the &#8216;Skip Intro&#8217; link when found on such a website BEFORE loading the intro, so you won&#8217;t even realise there was one.</p>
<div id="attachment_4091" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 410px"><a href="http://aalaap.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/skip-intro-screenshot-sample.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-4091" title="Skip Intro Sample" src="http://aalaap.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/skip-intro-screenshot-sample.png?w=497" alt=""   /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Awesome indeed.</p></div>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Warning:</strong> This is the first release, version 0.1. It&#8217;s might not skip each and every intro and it might actually go ahead and skip something you actually wanted to watch.</span> If this happens, please find me on Twitter or email me or leave a comment out here and I&#8217;ll look into it.</p>
<p><em>Update (3/8/11):</em> Skip Intro now has it&#8217;s own little website! Don&#8217;t skip it! <img src='http://s2.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':-P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>BlackBerrys have this nice feature that lets you link your main address book contact cards with the person&#8217;s presence in other apps, such as Facebook or LinkedIn. This is nice because simply viewing the person&#8217;s contact card will then give you an overview of your conversations with that person across networks. You&#8217;ll see emails from them, texts, calls, Facebook or LinkedIn messages. It&#8217;s been four years, but not a single Twitter application has let you link contacts like this &#8211; not even the official Twitter app. However, an update was released for Twitter for BlackBerry a few days ago (2.0.0.16), which FINALLY lets you do this!</p>
<p>To link contacts, simply open Twitter and&#8230;</p>
<ol>
<li>Click on the user&#8217;s tweet to go to their profile page (You should see their bio, location etc. at the end of that page &#8211; that&#8217;s how you know you&#8217;re there).<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4080" title="The Twitter User Profile Screen" src="http://aalaap.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/tweet1.jpg?w=497" alt="The Twitter User Profile Screen"   /></li>
<li>Then click  (the BB/Menu button) and choose &#8216;Link to BlackBerry Contact&#8217;.</li>
<li>From the displayed contacts list, pick the contact card that belongs to the Twitter user you&#8217;re linking.</li>
</ol>
<div>Typically, you&#8217;ll only want to link tweeps that are already in your contact list. If not, you&#8217;ll have to add a new contact when you&#8217;re doing the above and then go on adding more info (phone number, email etc.).</div>
<div>If everything&#8217;s in order, viewing that person&#8217;s BlackBerry contact card will show you tweets from that user, alongwith calls, texts and whatever else you&#8217;ve linked them to.</div>
