If you are a regular phone users you must had experienced your phone ringing even though it had not actually rung. I had that experienced before. A new study showed about 2/3 of cell phone users had this so-called Ringanxiety problem. The more you use cell phone or text messages, the more likely you will suffer from this problem.  So, the next time you have this phantom ring problem, maybe its not part of serious psychiatric illness unless you start delusioning  other people ring sound

‘Death by ???’

1) Poison, 2) Gunshot Wound (4x),
3) Beating by Clubs, 4) Drowning.

According to legends, Russian mystic Grigori
Rasputin (1869-1916) was first poisoned with
enough cyanide to kill ten men, but he wasn’t
affected.

So his killers shot him in the back with a revolver.
Rasputin fell but later revived. So, he was shot
again three more times, but Rasputin still lived.
He was then clubbed, and for good measure
thrown into the icy Neva River.

Rasputin was finally dead for good.

Because the cause of death was actually
drowning, Rasputin could not be declared a
Saint by the Zsarist family who desperately
desired to do so.

Here is another tip to prevent public PC from acting as reservoir to spread virus/Trojan via USB Drive. When this technique applied with SHIFT key hold down technique, no virus will be able to spread via USB drive. (Unless the virus reverses whatever registry change we did to counter the spread)

This tip is specifically for Windows XP users as for Vista users, I believe UAC should protect you. I believe some of us do not realize that Windows XP SP2 provides extra function to protect your computer from writing data into USB drive. While some computer administrators are using this technique to prevent data theft from public or personal computers, this technique can be used perfectly to counter virus spread via USB Drive.

Before you messing around with windows registry, its safer to create a restore point.
Here`s a step by step instruction to set USB drive read only:
1.    Open registry editor .Click Start > Run and type Regedit
2.    Browse the windows registry and find this value:
a.    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies
3.    If the StorageDevicePolicies key is not there, simple create the key under the parent key.
4.    Create the following value WritePtotect  (DWORD) and set it as 1
5.    Close your registry editor and you are done!

There are actually few sites to do this. One of the recent site i discovered is FUNonIT. They have various pictures for you to write on it online. If that`s not enough you may try their fake magazine cover.

If you have an extra vacuum machine or too lazy to clean those carpets, you may just turn your vacuum machine into sex machine. Apparently, a housewife in US came out with a stupid brilliant idea to achieve orgasm in 10 seconds. Make no mistake as the device is invented for female or else your little brother will be stuck into it. The sex toy called Vortex works when you connect it to a vacuum machine. If you have an extra £32.99 and need extra help  to alleviate her frustration, Vortex would be a perfect gift.

Most of us are familiar with JPEG images. This is due to the fact that most of digital consumer products save in JPEG. Although we know most of the time JPEG compresses images wonderfully, sometime the images can be damaged. JPEG format does not save all the information in an image to save disk space.

What happen when you get a low-quality JPEG compression? You can just delete the image OR you can use Jpeg Enhancer to repair the image.

What the Jpeg Enhancer can do:

· Remove JPEG artifacts

· Recover images spoiled by JPEG compression

· Perform median noise reduction

· Resize images smoothly

You can get Jpeg Enhancer for free here.

This blog has received a significant amount of traffics since yesterday. It is not a usual traffics received by this site. I noticed most of the unusual traffics came from myblogdirectory. Kucau.net is now listed as blog of the day on myblogdirectory.

What is myblogdirectory?

I guess the name of the domain explain it all.

How it works?

To be listed on myblogdirectory, you don’t have to link back to them. Simple blog submission is enough. If you want your blog to be listed as Blog of the day a link back to them  is required.

My 2 cents

Myblogdirectory is just another blog directory service. Being a free service is always an advantage. Submit your blog to  the myblogdirectory now, link back to them and expose your blog !  

Whether you like it or not, homeopathy is bunkum. I would actually called it a hoax of the century, a religion, witchcraft preparation but never dignify it by calling it medicine. I believe these two videos clearly explain why homeopathy is actually rubbish.

A new research claimed an infection from virus might be one of reasons for obesity. The potential culprit is adenovirus which causing cough, cold and sore throat. They found out when stem cells were exposed to adenovirus they simple grew into fat cells. Although this is just a preliminary finding, a new potential treatment of obesity in the form of vaccine is possible. However the study shows only some obesity problems are related to viral infection. Diet and healthy lifestyle is still the Holy Grail to combat obesity.
