Apple to unveil new iPhone

The Web world is abuzz with rumours that Apple is all set to unveil a new Phone. All that the tech giant has hinted from its side is that the coming World Developers Conference on June 8th will be all about Mac OS X and iPhone. Little doubt then that the rumour mill is working overtime on how the new iPhone will look like and the features it will have. So here's digging into the raging iPhone rumours to find out how the new iPhone may look like. On the looks front, the new iPhone is likely to sport same dimensions as that of the current model. Though a few cosmetic changes may show up. Some speculation suggests that the new device may do away with the metal border. It is also being anticipated that the present smooth plastic back may be replaced by a treaded rubber-type back, similar to that of BlackBerry. Rumors also suggest that the Apple logo may be light up just like the illuminated Apple logo on the back of the notebook line. The light will be white in colour and will remain on while the iPhone is powered on. Speculations are rife that the iPhone 3.0 will pack a 3.2 megapixel camera with the ability to focus the lens as a new feature. The device may also pack video recording capabilities, a sorely missed out feature in the iPhone 2.0. It may offer onboard video-editing capabilities too. Last year when Apple launched iPhone 2.0 it was expected that the device will have a higher-resolution camera and a possible support for digital video recording. However, 3G iPhone disappointed with the same 2 megapixel camera and no video recording option. Flash and optical zoom too were missing. However, Web is abuzz will rumours that Apple may take cue from other smartphone rivals who offer between 5 and 8 megapixel camera resolution.Another big change that the new iPhone is likely to introduce is in display. The third-generation iPhone is likely to have OLED (Organic light-emitting diode) screen display. The OLED display will replace the current LCD screen. The biggest advantage of an OLED screen is that it will boost the battery life of the device. However, analysts also feel that Apple may have to rework the pricing point if it introduces OLED screen as OLED screens are quite expensive. The OLED screen may offer a 640 x 960 resolution.

Badal the scumbag of Punjab

The Scumbag of Punjab aka Badal:
Parkash Badal sitting on a chair in the presence of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji (GGSji) at Sri Akal Takht Complex. Amritsar, India

I have a very good sikh friend of mine from our childhood days and often I have been to sikh gurudwara's on quite a few occasions with him and his family. I have learnt that in the presence of the GGSji, you have to cover you head and sit down on the floor during praying services. Yet, I came across this picture that shows this pathetic sumbag who thinks he is equal in position and stature to the GGSji. I have seen people who can barely walk or sit will sit down in the presence of GGSji and endure tremendous pain. Checkout the link below for more pictures and it is shocking. The sikh's should know what to do with such a haramzada kuta like him!! I'll let my sikh readers make their own opinion about this scumbag.

PS: The food served after services in the Gurudwara is awesome awesome....

British Leaders to be arrested

Breaking news

"Warrants issued for the arrest of British politicians following recent scandals. The Queen to dissolve parliament and the country to be run by Privy Council"

I am sure many British people would like to see such headlines in their daily newspapers to teach these scumbags who get elected as representative of people and misuse their priveliege by deceiving the hard working taxpayers. In these hard and uncertain times, these morons from the House of scumbags have taken advantage of the situation and lined their own pockets... The headline I have placed in quotes is just wishful thinking...but the british people will kick these thieves out at the next election and I hope they do.....

British House of Scumbags

British House of Commons aka The British Parliament from here on should be referred to as the "British House of Scumbags".

As most of you know these thieves and lowest of society scumbags whom we call politicians have revealed their true colors...elected thieves and scumbags of society. Why have they not been prosecuted by the Director of Public Prosecution for cheating, lying and abusing to claim thousands of pounds in benefits??? Why? When you learn what they have been upto, it makes one disgracefuly mad and mad and one has to feel sorry for the British to have these thieves and liers who run the country and make laws for them to obey...(visit the link below to see what they have been upto).

Now, should you British people obey laws made by these scumbags, pigs and thieves of society? Now, just imagine ordinary citizens claiming or lying on the application forms to obtain a few more pounds in benefits for their families... Oh no, they would be dragged before the courts and their names will be splashed all over the local papers to humiliate them.....but here we have these thieves in the British House of Scumbags trying to keep all this hush hush....until it all came out.......The British people should make sure and infact DEMAND they resign, garb or carry them tied to their local police station to be charged as criminals.....

Here is a brief article from the Telegraph UK ... check the link for more details

Fish can feel intense pain, like humans

Do fish feel pain like human? How many times have you heard this question being asked.....

Like humans, fish too can feel extreme pain when hooks are pulled off their mouths, even though it doesn't show on their faces, according to researcher Joseph Garner at Purdue University.

Garner, assistant professor of animal sciences, helped develop a test that found that goldfish do feel pain, and their reactions to it are similar to that of humans.

"There has been an effort by some to argue that a fish's response to a noxious stimuli is merely a reflexive action, but that it didn't really feel pain," Garner said. "We wanted to see if fish responded to potentially painful stimuli in a reflexive way or a more clever way."

Garner and Janicke Nordgreen, a student at the Norwegian School of Veterinary Science, attached small foil heaters to the goldfish and slowly increased the temperature.

The heaters were designed with sensors and safeguards that shut off the heaters to prevent any physical damage to the fish's tissue.

Half of the fish were injected with morphine, and the others received saline. The researchers believed that those with the morphine would be able to withstand higher temperatures before reacting if they actually felt the pain. However, both groups of fish showed a response at about the same temperature.

Because both groups of fish wriggled at about the same temperature, the researchers thought the responses might be more like a reflex than a cognitive reaction to experiencing pain.

The reflexive response is similar to a person involuntarily moving a hand off a hot stove with which they had come into contact. The reaction happens before a person actually experiences pain or understands that they have been hurt.

Upon later observation in their home tanks, however, the researchers noticed that the fish from each group were exhibiting different behaviours, said a Purdue release.

"The fish given the morphine acted like they always had: swimming and being fish," Garner said. "The fish that had gotten saline, even though they responded the same in the test, later acted different, though. They acted with defensive behaviours, indicating wariness and anxiety."

Nordgreen said those behavioural differences showed that fish can feel both reflexive and cognitive pain.

These findings were detailed online in Applied Animal Behaviour Science.
