Nokia 5800 Xpress Music + IPhone theme

Since Nokia 5800 Xpress Music (Nokia 5800XM) was launch on January 2009, it said to be a rival to Apple iPhone or some people claims it is an iPhone killer. Well, in some cases, yes it is.
Anyhow a lot of 5800XM users like the UI of iPhone. No doubt iPhone UI is much better, but it missing lots of features that 5800XM have.

So most of 5800XM users prefer their fon but love to have iPhone UI. Its a great user's experience when combining 5800XM features with iPhone UI. Thanks to dsma for creating such a nice iPhone theme for 5800XM. It is free, that's the best part of it :-)

If you have a Nokia 5800 XM and you want the iPhone UI, you can download it from here

Internet Explorer 7 (and above )with multiple session

Some of us might have more than one gmail account or yahoo account. Have anybody noticed that when you want to open both (or more) of your gmail account simultaneously, you only can open one at a time?

Why is this happen? Well, the answer is; Internet explorer shares the same SESSION even though you had open a new window. Yes, it have pro and cons but that is not what we are looking at here. What we want is how to enable you to use Internet Explorer and still be able to use multiple login to your sites/account.

There are two ways of doing it;
i. From current viewing window

1. On the Internet Explorer toolbar, click on File > New Session
2. Then you'll get a new open Internet Explorer browser with totally fresh new session.
   Easy isn't it :-)? But you have to do it every time you need to use dedicated session on opened Internet Explorer browser.
   

ii. From the shortcut

1. Right click on any of your Internet Explorer shortcut, and select Properties.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
2. On the Target field, add -nomerge at the end of the existing command. Refer to picture below to get a clear picture where to add.
   
   
   
   
   
3. To save your settings, just click button OK. Even though you just set for one shortcut, that changes will be apply to all the Internet Explorer shortcut

I prefer the second method since i use a lot of multiple login on my web application development. You might just need first method, but i hope above info will be helpfull for you in the explained situation.

System Restore - Fix fast your computer.

I woke up this morning, turn on my computer and gosh!! what happened to the screen display, its out scale, got a total black section 20% on the right side. I though that my LCD is damage :-(
But thanks to my brain (and to Microsoft too..of course.. ), it flash me to something real important tools but ALMOST forgotten, System Restore!!!.

If you are using windows XP and above, Microsoft packed this important tools with your windows.

System Restore.

System Restore does undo your system to previous state that you want or to the point before unwanted changes occur.

So how to do that; A. Lets take a look on how turn it ON and B. How to do system restoring.

A. In most cases by default, you should get System Restore ON when your windows go life. But just in case it wasn't let take a look how to get it back on track.
By the way, please take note; Some virus might turn your System Restore OFF and get rid of all your restore point

1. Right Click on My Computer and select Properties from the shown menu. You should be getting System Properties window as shown below.
   
   
2. Select System Restore tab; That will bring you to System Restore config as shown below.
   
   
3. To turn it ON; Un-check Turn off System Restore on all drives.
4. Under section Drive Settings, ensure that status is "monitoring" for drives on your computer.
5. That's it, click OK to save your settings.
   

B. How to restore your computer to selected restore point.

1. Click Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools and select System Restore.
   You will see System Restore windows as shown below.
   
2. From the option, select Restore my computer to an earlier time. Click button Next to proceed.
   (There is another option, Create a restore point. It is optional if you want to force a restore point creation before you make some changes to your computer, but by default it will do it by it self.)
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
3.  Select your preferred restore point. The one that you know your system was fine during that time. Select the active date where its number in bold (No1.) and Select your restore point. (No2).
   Click Next when done.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
4. On the next step (final), you'll get a confirmation notice about selected restore point you have choose. 
   
   Just click Next if you satisfy with your selection.
   
5. Your computer will automatically shutdown to execute the process and you'll see the result either Restoration Complete or Restoration Failed after your system restarted.
