			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This weekend I had to ship a something and I decided to use FedEx. Everything went smoothly without issue. For the first time ever, I decided to read the agreement which I had signed because I wanted to find out what the policy was on damaged shipments. I was greeted with the following:</p>
<p><code>Limitations on Our Liability and Liabilities Not Assumed</code><br />
<code>We won't be liable:</code><br />
<code>For loss, damage or delay, caused by events we cannot control, including but not limited<strong> to acts of God</strong>, perils of the air, weather conditions, acts of public enemies, war, strikes, civil commotions or acts of <strong>public authorities with actual or apparent authority.</strong></code></p>
<p>The thing which I find hilarious is that they include acts of God under their liabilities. Seriously? So pretty much anything that happens to your package could be said was because of an act of God. Personally I find this not only funny, but grossly inappropriate because FedEx is a world-wide company, and many people throughout the world do not believe in God. In fact, many wars have been fought over God, and I don&#8217;t think this line should be included in their legal document.</p>
<p>Another thing which I find interesting is that clause which says &#8220;public authorities with actual or apparent authority.&#8221; So you may just seem authoritative and influence someones package.</p>
<p>The deeper I read into the Terms and Conditions, the more I feel that it is actually a miracle that I get my packages.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nokia just launched its Point &amp; Find utility. The premise is amazing, point your phone&#8217;s camera at any object and the phone will automatically query the Internet and bring you all the information you want about the said object. In reality, this is a beta and it still needs work.  </p>
<p>The beta supports two items &#8211; movie posters and bar codes. I have yet to try it with a barcode, but my experience with a movie poster was pretty appaling. I set my access point to WiFi and pointed the camera at my Transporter 3 poster. After about 3 minutes of a scrolling loading bar, the phone determined that the poster was of Twilight and offered to show me a trailer and some other things. </p>
<p>What dissapointed me was that it took so long for the software to download the information, even though it was linked to my university&#8217;s wireless network which is pretty damn fast. It is also bad that it confused the Transporter 3 poster for Twilight which look nothing alike</p>
<p>On a more positive note I am glad that such software exists. Given enough time and testing this could be amazing. Just imagine going to a new town/city/country and pointing your device at a building or sign and you can get any information you need. Also, the barcode feature would be amazing, if it works. I know that many people who have purchased the T-Mobile G1 have done so mainly because of their barcode reading applications, and there is no reason why a Nokia device , which has a much better camera, can not do the same. The only problem for me, is that my Nokia N82 runs only on EDGE.</p>
<p>You can find out more about <a title="Point &amp; Find" href="http://pointandfind.nokia.com/?home">Point &amp; Find on Nokia&#8217;s site.</a></p>
<p>Current devices supported are: N82, N95, N95 8GB, N76, N81, N81 8GB, E51, E66, 6290, 6124 Classic, 6161 Classic, 6120 Classic, 6110 Navigator and 5700 XpressMusic</p>
<p>If you are in the USA, here is the direct link to the <a title="Point &amp; Find download page for US" href="http://pointandfind.nokia.com/?home&amp;step=1">download page</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently I was working on a new project for me, replacement of an entire LCD screen of a notebook. The closest I had gotten to that was the inverter replacement for my T40 (which I sold on ebay <img src='http://brokenfloppy.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':-D' class='wp-smiley' /> ). It was a friend&#8217;s system and I was afraid that I may screw it up badly.</p>
<p>After taking the cracked LCD off I began looking for a replacement screen. Oddly enough I found one through <a href="http://google.com">Google</a> and <a href="http://www.notebookreview.com/">NotebookReview.com</a> from a guy who lives near me and was selling it for $50 cheaper than all other places. I messaged him and he said he would ship it. Paid him and waited. After about a week I got the screen yesterday. Immediately I got to installing it in the laptop. To my greatest surprise, the screen works and I was able to put the computer back together. I only have 2 left over screws!</p>
<p>Here is a slide show including the before and after:<br />
