Good news for Vodafone customers in UK, whether you have the ‘pay as you go’ package, or pay on a monthly basis, the network carrier has promised to waive all costs associated with surfing the web from your mobile phone, letting you experience the world of web, while-you-walk without expense.

Another similar offer has been planned to be incorporated between Christmas and new year’s eve.

Run Google Chrome OS From A USB Drive
Only few days back Google launched the Chrome OS source code. After its launch so many people started downloading this new OS to run it on their virtual machines such as VMWare and Virtual Box.
I succeeded to put together my Google Chrome OS Download in complete shape of Virtual Box appliance. I am glad to tell you people that I taken it a step further and now it can be tried on computer from a USB drive.
Important Things to know before downloading Chrome OS
There are few things about that I should tell you before you people decide to download Chrome OS that its on the very early stages of development, so there is still a lot of stuff that don’t work.
This operating system is very simple in design and its main purpose is to use it on netbook computers. So when you will launch Chrome OS, then you will get a web browser, don’t be surprised for that you gone through all this only for a browser.
Download Requirements
Obviously for downloading it a USB drive is needed. For downloading it a 4GB thumb drive is needed, if you are having any files on your USB drive then make sure to back them up to a safe place because this will erase away all data on your USB drive.
Nokia N97 and N97 Mini Review: Camera and Multimedia Verdict
There were times when a 1.3 megapixel camera was considered to be good enough, but now that mobile phones with a 8 and 12 megapixel camera have been introduced, the trend has changed.
Considering the new smartphones released by Nokia, Nokia N97 and the Nokia N97 Mini, offer a fine and satisfactory camera at a reasonable price.
Since 8 and 12 megapixel cameras have now been introduced, Nokia N97 and N97 Mini’s having a 5 megapixel camera is not considered to be a special addition.
