Only a couple of days back the biggest and most expensive experiment in relation to physics took place in Geneva, Switzerland. If you are a human and reading this then you surely know by now what I am talking about right? The Large Hadron Collider took twenty years to build, $10 billion of upfront cost to make the whole thing with over $150 million per year for electricity consumption, 17 miles of an unbreakable titanium tunnel joined together to form a complete circle.

What are they exactly doing? They are recreating a mini version of the Big Bang that apparently took place around 13 billion years ago and resulted in creation of the universe by particles colliding with each other at light speed and at a temperature which is 10 thousand degrees hotter than the sun, not your daily Sahara Desert eh?

So why are they doing it is the next obvious question and the answer to this question is a bit complicated and yet so simple. If the experiment is successful which I really hope it will be, then we will most probably have an answer for the “God particle“. The God Particle itself is a complicated thing and is something which might let us know how the universe actually came into existence, it will let us see what really is there in the black hole. It will surely open new frontiers to the world and will result in knowing, where do we exactly belong. Furthermore it might even result in discovering how to time travel!!!!

Is it worth it? Can this experiment actually destroy the earth if it goes wrong? Are we in danger? Will we be alive when the spanking new Nokia N96 or when the king of bling bling the Nokia N85 comes out? Yes we will be just fine even if it goes wrong, because according to a well established theory of Mr Know it all, Einstein the impact of the failure will not be that huge that it will destroy the earth even though it is a kind of Big Bang. Moreover the chances of it going wrong is LESS than one outta 50 million.

So just relax and welcome this new frontier that will change the world and how we value things in our life. Infact, the place where the experiment is taking place is the same place where Internet was born, so it is quite safe to say that nothing will go wrong. As scheduled, on October 10th 2008 the elements will be introduced into the tunnel one by one and they will rotate like a Roller Coaster on Viagra to the power infinity. Oops, did you know that “infinity” might just get deleted if this experiment finds the finite results!! So it is good news overall, a very good news actually!!

Anyway, back to business and today I am publishing for you a pack of cell phones and hand helds softwares. They are all utility based applications and should come real handy to each of you who is running the Symbian OS. First up is the much awaited Nokia Operator Logo Changer, Second is a bluetooth based application called Super Bluetooth and lastly the ever so useful Zipman for unzipping your files on your handsets and pda phones.

Super Bluetooth: Super Bluetooth Hack is one of those extreme bluetooth softwares through which you can virtually take control of your friend’s bluetooth devices and connect to it remotely. Highly effective to play pranks on them I must admit but please remember that doing such a thing is not always nice! Respect your mateys and hack to save a phone, not to kill a phone.With Super Bluetooth it will not matter if your friend’s cell phone or PDA is a LG Chocolate or Blackberry Pearl, you will be able to connect securely and also in a stealth mode. The range of the bluetooth connection depends entirely on the capacity or the frequency of the Bluetooth device through which you are connecting. Once you are “inside” your friend’s phone you can do almost anything. You can make calls, send SMS, read his SMS or check out his contact and edit them, play the songs, ringtones and even make conference calls on the go!! Once again, please don’t abuse this fine application but otherwise, have fun!!

Operator Logo Changer: A mobile, whether it is a Nokia or even an iPhone, is not fully customized unless you have flipped your mobile network carrier’s default logo with a funky one, your personal one. Changing logo manually can be quite a gruesome task if you are doing it for the first time and most of us simply do not change the logo for that, well no more!! With Operator Logo Changer you can change your mobile device’s logo with one click by simply selecting the file you want to set as the logo and voila you are done after the next restart! This amazing and simple application is lightweight and you have to install it on your phone memory and not the memory stick or card.

Zipman: When downloading applications we all know that it can be quite frustrating after the download is finished and your phone says that Unknown File Format. Most of my applications or games here in this blog are either compressed as zipped or rar’ed and if you do not have the most useful, must have application Zipman (or Zip Manager) installed then no download will open up or be extracted. Your desktop or laptop have a zipman software built in with its operating system, regardless if it is Windows Vista, Windows Xp or Macintosh. However, Nokia cell phones and smartphones do not come with a built in applications in its Symbian OS mobile platform, hence you have to and you must install this application on your phone so that you can easily unzip each and every file you want without ever browsing from your laptop. You can compress an entire folder which is filled with smaller files and send them quickly without any hassle straight from your cell phones using bluetooth or infrared. This software is simply fast, efficient and a must have for any brand of S60 mobile phones.

Are you single? Are you married? Do you follow the polygamy lifestyle or believe you are a one hook guy or ma’am? Whichever it is I am sure that with this release you will find something that suits you more than the other in the “dating” kinda way. This mobile game is all about making love, taking names and making love again and it’s called New York Nights Sequel 2: Friends for Life! It’s been a while since I made the last post right? I know, I am extremely sorry about that but I had to attend my sister, Labonno’s wedding who came all the way from Canada to Bangladesh to get married in the old fashioned way. Thumbs up and best of luck to her all the way!! It was quite a rush the last few days but I guess it was quite a bash and we are all happy.

Anyway, back to the topic and New York Nights 2 Friends for Life for Nokia is a dream game for those of you who liked SIM City Nightlife or Playboy Mansion. Obviously this is kinda a fun dating game as well which you will love to experience if you liked its kick ass first versions like the New York Nights Success in the City, which was actually built and followed up around the streets and bars of Las Vegas and Miami. This time around your Your mission is quite up to what you decide it to be. You can either be a typical flirter and look for the floaty love for one night stands only or you can choose to find your one and only, your true love lol in the Big Apple. Anyway, you will have the typical “Ross-Chandler-Joey” Central Park shared type apartments and you will have to choose among several types of house mates who will not only be good friends but also helpful when you try to build your social network for you.

You can choose different hairstyles and color and which role you want to play I am not really a one night stand guy (..or am I?) but this game really made me experience the fun through my Nokia N-Series smartphones. Do cinematic stunts like jumping from a roof to convince the girl you wanna get in the bed (…literally too lmao!) or buy expensive gifts with hard earned money and even ending up getting slapped by your girlfriend or girlfriends. You can also impress your girlfriends easily or at least get a head start if you take kung fu lessons soon after you start earning. You have manage everything from talking the right way, eating the right thing at the right time, watch TV at times or attend the bar in the Saturday or Friday or Thursday nights! The dialogs are simply fun fun fun and hilarious at most of the times!!!!!

This game can also be considered as a phenomenal pass time companion which you can resume, pause, resume and pause again according to how free you are or how much leisure you enjoy get everyday. The game story is quite fun to play and does not dry off once you pause it to do your actual work and studies.

New York Nights Friends for Life is a well designed witty and interactive game all around. The overall graphics is quite fun to watch and play, the quality of the audio is really not bad and the overall theme is quite jolly. In the end you have to decide if you want to choose friends or your love, sounds quite ‘filmy’ but I honestly admit it that if you want to experience the way you always wanted to live life, the free and I don’t care at all way then New York Nights really can’t be matched or compared to any other games available. It’s that good!

Life is finally in 360 degree mode! Literally too! Ever wondered how beautiful life will look like if you can capture what’s all around you, in front of you and behind you and even at both the sides at the same time? I know it is kinda hard to even imagine this but it is now possible to have a third eye with your Nokia smartphones in hand and this superb and creative application installed in it. Today I am publishing the most sensational and intelligent application ever built for any kind of symbian OS based 3rd edition smartphones. It is called Panoman and it lets you do things that no other application ever can. Let me get into the details real fast.

Panoman creates a 360 degree panorama with your mobile camera phone in your hands. It’s fast and easy and the engine is virtually a einstein itself. All you have to do is take the phone in your hands and rotate yourself to a complete circle and voila! the scan engine intelligently captures, generates and extracts you a flat image of your surroundings in a single picture. This application snaps the scenery at real time and lets you enjoy the image with true clarity, no noise or blur or whatsoever. It also lets you edit your panorama on the go just after you have captured it. Not only that with Panoman you will be able to watch a landscape mode preview of the image that will be fetched if you finalize it. This version of Panoman is 3 and it also has a major improvement in its heap size or in other simple words it will let you snap around 12 frames in one rotating session!

It is quite obvious that if the Sun is in front of you and you rotate yourself then there is a strict possibility that your end panorama based image will have a dark side and a bright side right? Wrong! Panoman also have automatic and manual image exposure correction and with this application in your S60 phones, you can be sure that the end image will bear a constant light and exposure in it. It also have built in white balance through which you will be able to fix the color tone in accordance to the overall light condition. So in a cloudy day there will be more white to make things more clear and precise in the image. You also get an image capturing sound when performing a 360 degree session and it will let you save the image in the memory card of your phone or in the phone memory, whichever suites your handsets and devices better. If you are carrying a super duper phone like the Nokia N95, N95 8gb or a Nokia N82 then you will also be enjoying the Auto Focus option. This will let you take your image without you messing it up, a shaky hand and some missed steps might result in losing focus obviously which the auto focus of Panoman can handle quite efficiently.

The intelligent scanning engine integrates so well with your digital mobile camera that it actually “anticipates the next move” after every single frame, thus letting the symbian OS create a dynamic and parallel image. The overall shading doesn’t break at all which is quite unbelievable and I have no clue on how it actually is possible, but it sure is possible!! Tested! Throughout the whole panorama, Panoman maintains a constant color tone and image brightness which is really vital for the quality of the end image. Panoman really pulls it out without any issues at all and it pulls it out in style!! Enough blah blah from me, just take a look at how it works and how the images look like and you will be so satisfied yourself that you will surely get it right on about now!

Whether you are a all chillin’ gal or a totally groovin’ guy, you need friends or buddies. Not only that, since you were born and started to get out of momma’s couch I am sure all of you made friends. Then you hit childhood right? Bunked classes, cheated on the exams, played Frisbee or football together with your friends. Your first mobile might be a Nokia 8250 or a Siemens A10 with a calculator like display and most of you took your friends to the shop to buy them just like I did. Some of those childhood friends are still with you and some are lost in the transition of being a man or taking up responsibilities of your family. Now when you are at work in the office you don’t get friends but only colleagues and you know you miss your best friend or your dearest one who might be living in a different country, with different people or in your country working his/her butt off just like you. Work won’t let you get in facebook (unless via FaceBook on symbian!) or msn messenger so that you can chat to them when you are free or even when you are not free. Bloody firewalls! No matter wherever you are, stay connected to your friends, families or even your foes (…maybe) with this next free application I am going to publish!

The Slick IM Client for Symbian!

Yepp! That is the exact name of this symbian application through which you will be connected with your online or offline friends through MSN messenger or AOL, ICQ and Yahoo messenger or any other messenger for that fact. Slick is an “all in one” social messenger with rich features which can save you money and can be quite exciting. Not only that, through the new Slick IM client you will be able to group talk or conference talk on the go straight from your mobile using internet data connectivity and nothing else. The wonders of Nokia mobile phones is certainly its user friendly graphical user interface (or GUI) and the ability of its engine to efficiently use the operating system, mainly the open source Symbian OS. This particular messenger have two things which it seems to keep in mind when it was built for the first time, ease of use and rich features.

Most of the times when you mix those two you get neither of them. Either you end up with a memory eating monster or you end up with a simple IM client which only lets you talk through MSN or Yahoo! which really is not utilizing the capability of a Nokia smartphone like the high end devices from S60 N-Series or E-Series. Nokia N95 was a total success for Nokia but one thing that even that fantastic pda like handset or mobile phone lacked was the ability of it to communicate through different external protocols. Slick IM client deminishes that entirely and lets you use your smartphones to the fullest. With the Slick IM application installed on your symbian 3rd edition devices you will be able to talk in real time to your friends no matter how far they, whether they are using a desktop, laptop or a Nokia like you makes no difference to what Slick IM can provide you at your end. Want to share a picture which you just took through your high end 5 mb or 3.2 mb camera of the phone? No problem, just click and send through the IM and your friend talking to you on the other end of the world will get it pronto. Of course the speed of the file transfers entirely depends on the ability of your phone modem, so if you have a basic GPRS modem you will get around 10KBps speed. If you are on any other faster and more advanced devices like the Nokia N73 or N80, N95, N78, N96, E90, E61 etc then you will probably have the EDGE or 3G wireless modem built inside your phone, thus letting you use the total speed your network carrier like AT&T Wireless or Orange Mobile Uk. Additionally, you can also send and receive animated images, mp3 quality sound clips or audio files, zip files, midi files, office documents etc. Virtually anything you want to send can be transferred if your friend on the other hand supports it.

With the Slick instant messenger installed in your phone you will not have to display that you are from Slick in your status message in MSN messenger. Slick also supports AIM, ICQ, Google Chat, Jabber, Yahoo! Messenger beside the most widely used MSN Messenger. Just like in the laptop or PC, when a member signs in you will get a notification alert and the same goes for any incoming messages. Slick also lets you control the sound options from low to a very high. You can turn on or off the IM history depending on how you want it to be. If you are unsure about privacy then my personal opinion is to turn that feature off cause IM histories can be quite personal for some people. It also offers offline message sending, though it depends on what protocol you are using and if that particular protocol supports it or not. You also have the funny emoticons support for all the IM protocols which makes the conversations very lively and fun. I love emoticons btw, what about you?

Slick is also compatible with a load full devices of Nokia 3rd edition symbian OS 9.1 phones including the Nokia N91, N92, N93, N95, N96, N82, N81, N80, N78, N77, N75, N76, N73, N72, N71, 5700 Xpress Music, 5710, 5500 Sport, 3250, 6120, 6121, 6290, E50, E51, E60, E61, E62, E65, E70, E66, E71, E90, 6110 etc. All major GSM and CDMA networks including AT&T Wireless, T-Mobile, Orange Mobile UK, Rogers, Vodafone, Virgin Mobile UK, Hutch, Telstra, Telenor, AllTel, Sprint, Criket, Optus, Verizon Wireless, MTN, Airtel etc are supported. Please subscribe to the RSS feed before downloading this fantastic application to your phone. Godspeed!

Not satisfied with the Slick IM Messenger? Then you can also try Agile Messenger or Windows Live Messenger!

The Porche Carrera 911 GT 2 Turbo hits your phone screen face up this time around with Asphalt Elite Racing episode 4. Just like we played on our desktop or laptop once upon a time, the game Need For Speed Porche Unleashed, Asphalt Elite Racing brings you the latest endeavor of a similar racing game for smartphones and mobile. Well, at least the car is almost the same. I must admit that I always have something special when I think of a Porche, any Porche and the Carrera Coupe Turbo is among the top three of my most favorite cars ever. Living in Bangladesh where speed-bumps will never even allow a Porche to be driven and where total cost of any imported cars are 310% tax against face value + the face value itself, it is only an impossible dream to ever drive one! And taka is way too devalued against dollars in the current foreign exchange rate, for example, one USD means 70 Taka here right now.

Anyway, I am way too off topic at the moment as I seem to get lost in a dream when I think of Porche. Back to the game and I must say that this high definition (HD) game is a follow up of the Asphalt Series consisting of Urban GT, Street Rules etc. Like the previous one, this game is also astoundingly similar in terms of high quality sound effects! Except the cars maybe, and the overall graphics of this mobile game which seem to have improved a wee-lil-bit when you press the Nitrous Di Oxide or NOS button for full thrust, this symbian game is enjoyable! Love the blurry part more than anything else in this game. The tracks are new and there is a lotta snow around so you can be pretty sure that controlling the cars will be a huge challenge. And unlike the last episode, this game is mainly designed on a “Are you better than me when turning in the corners?” gameplay. Beside the Porche 911, you also get the chance to drive a Lamborghini Diablo, A Ferrari and some other luxurious brands which brings me to my next point, speed!

The speed of the cars are simply phenomenal and it seems that the overall design of this game engine deserves a 5 upon 5. The acceleration of the cars are pretty wild, of course it varies from cars to cars, but the difference is minimal compared to the overall speed. In terms of overall handling on the dry scorching roads of Arizona, it is great and quite easy. The game actually picks up its gears when you step up on the elite zone and race over the snow. Slide baby Slide!! I loved the overall experience driving on the snowy roads as it was pretty difficult to race on, avoid the cops, their bloody helicopters and control the cars at speeds over 350 KM/H or roughly 250 M/H. Like the previous version of the game, the more you gain speed or bump against incoming traffic, the more “wanted” you are in the radar of the law and the more difficult plus aggressive the feds and cops become. So do watch out the corners and try not to bump too much as I can assure ya that if the feds are after your car then you have no bloody chance of escaping, so forget about winning the race! The story of the game is quite boring compared to Street Rules and I am disappointed in this part.

You can free ride, joy ride and race! You can ride a motorbike (…a racing and good looking Yamaha of course) to evade faster or to get yourself in cold zone during a chase. This have serious impact on the overall game however as you might get bored and never complete the tracks ever which will be a real waste of a good game. In terms of compatibility, this game should run on all 3rd edition Nokia S60 N-Series, E-Series, Symbian OS 9.1 and 9.2 devices. Handsets suchs as the N-Series N76, N73, N81, N82, N80, N71, N77, N91, N92, N95, the hot new Nokia N78 and N96 should work smoothly. E-Series smartphones or pda like E50, E51, E71, E60, E61, E65, E62, E66, E70, E90 is also compatible. The other handhelds like the Nokia 6120, 6110, 6121, 3250, 5700, 5500, 5610 Xpress Music, 5710, 6600 Slide, Arte & 7500, 7900 Prism are also in the long list of supported phones. Major network carriers, both GSM and CDMA based ones like AT&T Wireless and T-Mobile, Hutch, Virgin Mobile UK, Vodafone, Vodacom, Telenor, Orange Mobile UK, Verizon Wireless, Sprint, Digi Malaysia, Orascom etc should have no problem with it regardless of it being a Java based game.
