Hi folks. It's been awhile yeah??? Been so busy lately with work and more work til I'm unable to write or add anything new to this blog. Do not worry, hope everything goes well and I can soon upload some photos of the football jerseys that I'm gonna sell. Just waiting to finalized the pricing which I need to consult my brother. Haha..
Oh well, I found this great article in Yahoo! somewhere around last week about device issues. Thought of highlighting it to all of you.
Touchscreen phones that won't work when you have gloves on
The capacitive touch displays on the latest and greatest Android and iOS handsets are tops when it comes to tapping out messages with a light touch. Winter gloves, however, will block the electrical charge from your fingertips that capacitive screens use to register a tap — bad news if you're trying to answer a call in a blizzard.
Solution: Cut a tiny slit in your wool gloves (assuming you don't mind slicing up your winter wear) to allow a finger to pop out whenever you need to start tapping. Okay, this is applicable to countries that has 4 seasons. Unless you think Malaysia has those 4 seasons too and would love to wear some gloves too. Hehe..
Wet Gadgets
Gadgets and water rarely mix. Or rather don't mix at all. I bet most of us have experienced it before. I can honestly say, it wasn't a good experience. Heh..
Solution: Before you give up hope, try dropping your soaked gear into a Tupperware container full of rice to draw out the moisture. Or, as a general preventative measure to keep moisture away, save some silica gel packs (you know, the ones you'll find in boxes of new shoes or beef-jerky packages) and stuff them in your cell phone or camera case.
Scratch DVDs and CDs
There's nothing quite as annoying as a skipping music CD or a DVD that randomly jumps seconds or minutes ahead, without warning. In some cases, you might be dealing with a dirty laser in your CD or DVD deck; more often, however, the culprit is a scratched disc.
The good news is that it is possible to repair scratches in the polycarbonate plastic coating that protects the underlying layer of data on a DVD or CD, as long as the scratch isn't too deep.
Solution: Polish the scratches with a little furniture cleaner, perhaps with a follow-up dose of car polish. Just be sure to start from the center of the disc and rub outward, in a straight line; whatever you do, don't rub in circles.
