			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some of the problems occur frequently on your <em><strong>IPhone</strong></em>. Most of the problems that occur commonly include accessories problems such as <em><strong>headphone jack problems</strong></em> and security problems. There are many problems that you may face rarely but when they occur they may create a real problem to you.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2966" title="IPhone" src="http://www.spunkmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/iphone-4-volume-buttons1-300x103.jpg" alt="IPhone" width="300" height="103" /></p>
<p><strong>Problems related to volume of mobiles</strong></p>
<p>You may face some problems like reversed volume buttons. When you press negative volume key, the volume increases and when you press positive key the volume decreases. This may due to the wires interlinked between each others. The wire for increasing your <em><strong>mobile</strong></em> volume may be touched with the wire decreasing volume. It makes same problem like in TV remote. Or, the problem occurs due to displacement of correct keys. The keys may be reversed. These problems are very irritating and happen occasionally.</p>
<p><strong>Solutions</strong>:</p>
<p>The best solution for these kinds of problems is to swap your <strong>mobile</strong> with the new ones. Ask them for replacement. You can rectify the problems yourself in some parts using guide books but in many cases this problems are not corrected by the users because they are very delicate machines and can even damage the whole system with one silly mistake. Don not try to be mechanic and try it yourself at home because you are not repairing instead you are damaging your phone.</p>
<p><strong>Add Security Features</strong></p>
<p><em><strong>Security is the best</strong></em> option for all kinds of problems. Before any problems occur you must be aware about the problems. You mobile phone may have various functions that you have not seen or used. Use catalogues and guide books for those applications so that you may be protected. There are certain features like <em><strong>security update</strong></em> to your phone that may sums up your security. Features like phone tracker and security booster are always useful to your mobile phone. Apply those applications and secure your phone from verbal attacks like thefts and lost.</p>
<p><strong>Make insurance to your mobile for loss and theft</strong></p>
<p>There is no any guarantee to your phone for lost because you can lose it anywhere and no one would save your phone from theft. The best way be in profit is to make insurance of your <em><strong>mobile</strong></em>. This might not give your same old mobile back but fills up your deficit. Insurance has been widely used by <em><strong>mobile</strong></em> users as 70 million cell phones lost annually, which is about 1/4th part of the total mobiles, are lost. Insurance facilities have given a chance fill their deficit.</p>
<p><strong>How to find a lost phone</strong></p>
<p>Every year 70 millions of phones are lost in the world which includes theft and lost. Among them many phones are lost through theft and robbery. So the mobile company has developed some applications that can <em><strong>track your lost mobile</strong></em>. They have built some security functions that have access to your phone’s internal system so that they can lock your phone and make it of no use. They will have no choice rather than returning to you.</p>
<p>After all you think <em><strong>recovery </strong></em>is the best option for phone protection.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, you decided already on buying a smart phone. That is a “smart” choice since you can customize a phone to fit into your needs. Of all the <em><strong>mobile phones</strong></em> that are on this category, two phones can be considered head to head in the mobile phone mania and these are BlackBerry Torch 9800 and the iPhone 4. They are unique <em><strong>mobile</strong></em> devices and they are at their own leagues. However, it is interesting how each one would fare when it comes to specs. Let us analyze and compare <em><strong>mobile phones</strong></em> and see who stands the best among the two.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.spunkmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/blackberry_torch_VS_IPHONE4.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2961" title="blackberry_torch_VS_IPHONE4" src="http://www.spunkmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/blackberry_torch_VS_IPHONE4.jpg" alt="" width="490" height="309" /></a><br />
<strong>Screen: Winner- iPhone 4</strong></p>
<p>Very clear but maybe overkill since the screen&#8217;s small, the insane screen resolution of the iPhone 4 might only be relevant for intensive 3D games and since you really do not see the rest of those brilliant pixels, it is really more for a show than for function. The great thing about the screen of the iPhone 4 is that it is extremely responsive. We have to give it to the Apple <em><strong>mobile phones</strong></em> since they have had experience with touch technology more than RIM.</p>
<p><strong>Processing power: Winner- Blackberry Torch 9800</strong></p>
<p>You might contest at first but even if the iPhone 4 does have a 1GHz processing power compared to the 642MHz of the <strong>BlackBerry Torch</strong>, the latter one offers a much better use of its processing power. When it comes to memory management, the BB Torch is a front runner. What is the sense of a 1GHz processing power if you cannot even do multitasking? Had this mobile phone have the essential multitasking capabilities, it could have trumped the BB Torch but nonetheless, it still offer robust security at all times.</p>
<p><strong>Applications: Winner: iPhone4</strong></p>
<p>It is hard to argue with the App store of iPhone 4. RIM might have been offering apps for quite some time now but Apple is always one of the most diverse application providers. They offer apps for almost anything. The apps of <em><strong>BlackBerry 9800</strong></em> are more of a business phone. The Apple phone offers some really great consumer friendly options that are sometimes even available for free. There is also the question of cost since the BB apps are quite more expensive. Also, the iPhone 4 apps tend to be more diverse so you can really customize the options that you have.</p>
<p>The battery life: Winner: <em><strong>BlackBerry Torch 9800</strong></em></p>
<p>It is fun to see that the mobile phones from Apple at least can last a whole day. However, when it comes to longevity, you have to give it to RIM for producing <em><strong>mobile phones</strong></em> that really last a very long time. This is pretty much due to the robust data management technology implemented on the phones.</p>
<p>So, who won?</p>
<p>When you compare <em><strong>mobile phones</strong></em>, you want to make sure that you know your own needs. If you want something that is pretty much a hot and sleek option that is more hip, the iPhone 4 is a good option. If you want a phone that is technically more superior and ideal but with the same impeccable smart capacities, then the BB Torch 9800 is a good option.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nokia C7 is an outstanding <em><strong>mobile phone</strong></em> that is approaching right underneath the Nokia N8 and it fully signifies that Nokia is one of the excellent and marvelous smart phone manufacturers among all others. The Nokia N8 cell phone is offering its consumers with most outstanding and rich features; however, it loses greatly when it concerns the price range and affordability. Before launching Nokia C7, Nokia certainly taken care of this affordability problem and for this reason the <em><strong>mobile phone</strong></em> is anticipated to be affordable in price with a large number of features that have been lifted exactly from Nokia N8.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.spunkmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Nokia-C72.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2958" title="Nokia-C7" src="http://www.spunkmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Nokia-C72-300x170.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="170" /></a><br />
<strong>Nokia C7 and Nokia N8</strong>:</p>
<p>Therefore, making long story short, Nokia C7 is considered to be a less significant edition of Nokia N8 <em><strong>mobile phone</strong></em>. The cell phone supports a touch display with a display screen of 3.5 inches and it is the same as we have in Nokia N8 <em><strong>mobile phone</strong></em>. The AMOLED display technology has also being integrated with the same 360 x 640 pixels resolution as with the Nokia N8. One other trait that is similar with Nokia N8 <em><strong>mobile phone</strong></em> is the utilization of the gorilla glass technology as it will be extremely helpful in preventing the <em><strong>mobile</strong></em> device from any kind of scratches occurring right on the touch display surface that ultimately makes it fragile. The part that Nokia C7 is left behind in comparison with Nokia N8 is the internal memory. The Nokia N8 is offering its users with an internal memory of 16 GB and it can be easily further enhanced up to 32 GB, whereas Nokia C7 is only featuring an internal memory of 8 GB. On the other hand, you will be able to increase the memory status by inputting 32 GB memory card.</p>
<p><strong>Significant Features of Nokia C7</strong></p>
<p>The Nokia C7 <em>mobile phone</em> device is featuring 8- megapixel camera; moreover, it is loaded with a fixed focus camera feature. Additionally, it has been provided with a large number of other options that would be fully enhancing the images right after you capture the photos. Face detection and dual LED flash are some of the other features that have been integrated into the mobile phone device. The video recording of 720 p HD is supported at 25 frames each second and it includes video stabilization feature as well so that users can utilize high-end features. The <em><strong>mobile phone</strong></em> is running on the 680 MHz single core processor which is same as of Nokia N8. The operating system the processor is running is Symbian 3 which was originally incorporated and initially launched with Nokia N8. Whereas the prior Symbian S60 Operating system was not fully optimized for touch screen display smart phones, the upgraded Symbian 3 is supporting it and it is extremely appreciated. However while you are comparing Nokia N8 and Nokia C7, you will not be able to see the mini HDMI port within Nokia C7; nevertheless, it is supporting the TV output feature in it. Thus, if you are looking for a powerful and robust multimedia device for video and music playback, Nokia C7 is the one which turns out to be a true companion for anywhere you want to have it as it is the best Smartphone out of all.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Enthusiasm is the greatest cofactor for development. The modern technologies are all produced due to interest shown on particular sector. The arrival of 4G iPhone was regarded the greatest achievement by Apple Corporation when the handheld gadgets made its promo last year on 2010. However with all developments on IPhone, people have addressed many problems related to multiple security threats and internal problems. They found their <strong>mobile</strong> not working properly on displaying correct video and pictures.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.spunkmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/iphone-4g.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2945" title="4g I Phone" src="http://www.spunkmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/iphone-4g.jpg" alt="4g I Phone" width="490" height="260" /></a><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Problems not new ones for Users</strong></p>
<p>There are many problems on IPhone that have been addressed earlier in previous versions of IPhone. These problems are not unexpected or new in markets. Many controversial issues with IPhone are yet to be discussed. The users are continuously reporting to the mobile departments about the problems that they are facing. However, the fragility of the<em><strong> mobile phones</strong></em> is recorded as the most important problem which is comparatively more delicate than others.</p>
<p><strong>IPhone 3G and 4G</strong></p>
<p>The major concerns of the Apple series were the latest IPhone versions IPhone 3G and 4G. 3G and 4G mobiles were introduced back to back within short time gap. With great success on IPhone 1 and 2 Apple Corporation had launched its further products that were told to be better than the previous <strong>mobiles</strong>.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, many users addressed problems related with audiovisual and protection. Although the <strong>mobile</strong> came with some advanced features like 5 megapixels of camera, LED flash function and high resolution retina display, the mobile was too fragile and many problems overtook the advanced features.</p>
<p>Many users reported same problem on display problem of mobile. Apart from visual problem of this mobile people encountered problems like headphone jack problems and in many cases the headphones mismatched with the quality of the IPhone.</p>
<p><strong>Major Problems related with 4G IPhone</strong></p>
<p>Among many other problems that have been reported, here are some major problems that have been a major threat to users</p>
<p>1. Many people have reported the problems of low signals that plagued users in using <strong>mobiles</strong>.<br />
2. They have addressed antenna problems.<br />
3. Internal software misplacements and misallocations leading to applications damage or unsupported by the device.<br />
4. Most of the users have reported about their headphone jack problem since the quality of headphone and the <strong>mobile</strong> were found mismatched.</p>
<p><strong>Other Major Problems for 3G IPhone</strong></p>
<p>Although the <strong>mobile</strong> invites some advanced features to customers, some of the major problems always make them feel exhausted and frustrated. Some of the major problems are the yellow spots or lines seen on the border of the IPhone. This problem relates with low video quality and has rendered low clearness to the screen. The problem is usually linked with high resolution retina display which is the key feature of the mobile. The good news is that this problem does not long last and resolved by itself with a course of time but happens frequently at the time of taking videos that irritates users.</p>
<p>Apart of these problems the IPhone has some other problems to be dealt that is linked with headphone jack problems and iPhone protection. Many users are complaining about their mismatched headphone with downgraded quality. Of course people have protection problems with all <strong>mobiles</strong>. However, people must be aware about these problems earlier and address those problems to the customer department center of the respective company.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">After the recent Telangana issue came to light, it brought with itself, a focus on a topic that has been on the table for more than fifty years &#8211; do we need more states? The “need” for more states may be different for different sides but can we reach on a common consensus to justify the division of existing states and do so on on practical, feasible grounds rather than the traditional, passionate ones.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Some scholars argue that divison and diversity go hand in hand and thus India would be at a weaker position with more states. Much of what they have to say is voiced further when they say that India needs guidance of politicians to grow and advance and ideally this would happen; however we live in a world coaxed with political and personal ambitions and means and thus more states would weaken the nation. Our so called &#8216;leaders&#8217; need more states because they simply love to rule! Political parties have been doing it in Uttarakhand,  Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">GDP of some new states might be high but the standard of living in the states is way low. They also happen to be the most adversely affected states by naxalites. Moreover the older states are much much developed compared to the new states they gave rise to.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Telangana-Issue" src="http://www.spunkmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Telangana-Issue.jpg" alt="Telangana-Issue" width="382" height="312" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The cause for new states is noble but the methodology is more towards replacing one form of political corruption with another. The benefits that could follow if the cause is implemented properly are myriad, like greater competition within states, more homogeneous preference for smaller states, smaller political stakes as India&#8217;s problem isn&#8217;t centralisation of power between central and state governments but between states &amp; local government &#8211; vertical and horizontal alignment of government organisation &#8211; as they are mostly pyramidal.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The problem and demand more states has been around since 1955 onwards. However, the basis of the demands has been irksome and unagreeable. Leaders have been trying to push their cause on new states on &#8220;cultural&#8221; grounds without even knowing what it means.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Their actual basis of division has been linguistic. However that has not always yielded a good result. Also, the good&#8217;s that could have been derived out of divisions has been lost purely because of this. Moreover, it has been seen that the local mafia often becomes the power driver.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Just like getting higher GPAs throughout academic life cycle doesn&#8217;t guarantee that one will be more successful than other, likewise creation of more or less states is no guarantee for a change. Rather, I should put it this way. The CHANGE is guaranteed, but one cannot guarantee whether the change will be positive or negative.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This all depends not only upon political system but upon us, the people, as a whole. No amount of change can happen unless and until the people themselves are ready for the change, either for better or worse.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We should also not forget that  some states being pushed for creation are are too small to be formed as a state. If created, Gorkhaland could border as many as four countries lying in a chicken neck area of India. Hence it would be absolutely essential for this area to be under grip of India&#8217;s capital to address the security threat &amp; especially from smugglers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A state mechanism wouldn&#8217;t be strong enough to meet such challenges and willy-nilly central government will have to interfere and everything will be back to ground zero once again. To speak it&#8217;s easy to form a state on paper, but too tough to put in actual practise.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">However, more states does not mean more control. Its not like dividing a problem into smaller ones. The art is to divide a problem into simpler ones. If the government starts giving in to the demands of new states based on religion or ethnicity then each hour demand for a new state would be heard. More states is not a solution. on the contrary it gives birth to problem of cohesiveness. A tightly coupled state is necessary to be administered smoothly.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Many people have come out to voice against the UPA government saying it has all been about scams and more scams. However, there is another section of the society which believes that the media has led people to focus only on the have-not’s while the focus is totally lost on the accomplishments.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">What about the fact that we survived the global recession with only a breeze coming our way at a time when there were countries declaring themselves bankrupt? What about the fact that Rs.6000 crore worth loans on farmers were nullified? And scams aren’t a new phenomenon today.. we have had some very spectacular ones with other governments too. Don&#8217;t just look at one side of the coin. But again, look at the inflation! A mobile recharge and a pen-drive has gone cheaper than food!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2930" title="upa" src="http://www.spunkmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/upa.jpg" alt="upa" width="410" height="261" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It is easy for us to sit in the front halls, follow the news (read: news!!??) and form opinions. But don&#8217;t just follow anything that the media is feeding you. When you have to decide something for your own.. like your dress,job, health etc.. don&#8217;t you get a second opinion? Then why not get a second opinion about this? Use your resources to find out what the government has been doing and where it has flopped. Media does not show good things coz that is boring.. does not turn on the TRP&#8217;s.. the flops are instant seducers.. Find out facts for your own instead of following the herd.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The UPA government has not been an out and out hit. It has had some major scams and controversies.. but let us not forget to first find the roots of these events and then decide if it all was really the fault of the UPA govt. or the NDA government before that? And most importantly, before jumping to a conclusion, let&#8217;s first weigh the good&#8217;s against the bad&#8217;s in order to decide logically.<br />
We cannot forget the National Rural Health Mission or Rashtryiya Swastha Beema Yojna has been tremendous success. The AIDS control programme running directly under the PM and has registered considerable success. Education cess has been levied in all central taxes to help primary education. International Universities have been allowed in India. We have new IIM&#8217;s and IIT&#8217;s.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Expansion of seats to tap the adverse effects of Reservation has been executed in several leading institutitons. Rs.1500 Laptops being distributed in rural ares among the youth. Right to Education made a fundamental right. We have more FDI in education sector. The check on the &#8220;deemed&#8221; universities which followed by suspension of 44 universities has been an eye opener.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Check on the authentication of issued numbers all over the country which is still on the drive has been another effort by the UPA to correct the faults of the social make-up. Banks have been made to loosen their stand for educational loans and directed to open doors to all economic classes with no-balance accounts.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Ayodhya verdict was peacefully delivered in this government’s time &#8211; something that had been stalled by various governments since nearly two decades. Thanks to the efforts of the PMO and MEA, India&#8217;s step towards permanent seat in UNSC has gained major momentum. India refused to take loans from other countries to minimise the dues and become more independent.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">NCERT made to ensure uniformity in primary education being taught nationwide (this is relevant to the occassional uproar about &#8220;wrong&#8221; history being taught to students in certain parts of the country). The UID, NREGA and the grass-root insurance drive in rural areas have been major medals. So have the RTI act and the Indo-US Nuclear deal.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So what one must understand is that no government is all good or all bad. But before deciding on such a thing we must be aware of both ends of the rope.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As a friend of mine aptly put it, the UPA government is working. It has neither been a hit, nor a flop. Give it time to bloom. It is still an ongoing process.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Peshawar : The militants of Pakistan say they have held a Swiss couple as hostage.  The couple was on a holiday in the remote area of Baluchistan. The deputy head said the pair was in a good state of health and could be exchanged for a female jailed scientist in US.</p>
<p>Daniela28 and Olivier31 were abducted on the first July in Baluchistan where few tourists land because of the Taliban activity.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Swiss couples are with the TTP. They are at a very safe place,&#8221; Wali-ur Rehman, deputy chief of the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan</p>
<p>He further said, &#8220;They are completely in good health, they are getting reasonable food and they have not fallen ill since they landed in our custody.&#8221;</p>
<p>He said, &#8220;We call upon the Western world to put pressure on America for the release of Aafia Siddiqui,&#8221;</p>
<p>He further said, &#8220;If America does not agree to her release then our shura (council) will take a decision about the Swiss hostages.&#8221;</p>
<p>Since 2008, Switzerland had forbidden travel to Pakistan.</p>
