NOKIA808 41MP IS HERE?

I was once an avid Nokia fan because of it's user-friendly interface. Sad to say that it's now being used mostly by our grannies and pops coz it is easier to navigate and is a no brainer cp. While smart phones are arguably smart (can't wait to get a hand on Samsung S3, the fastest phone so far), this Nokia 808 Pure View is rocking the camera phone world with its astounding 41MP feature, the Guinness book of record holder, to say the least.

Well, what do you need the 41MP for when it is backed up by an aging Symbian OS, oh it's a new version of symbian: Nokia Belle. Alright, why does Nokia advertises new OS on new design on new phone, like Windows Phone and upgrading the Symbian OS in succession of what months, quarterly maybe? against most phones clinging into Android? Why don't Nokia join the bandwagon of creating new phones with android and if they want to segway into Windows phone at least the phone is as cool as the new arrivals too. Wouldn't be a good competition? People used to love Nokia because of its innovation, now other brands are replacing it coz of better OS:android.

Jelly Bean is the latest of Android OS and it will be a lot cooler if this 41MP will be used on that OS, rather than staying in archaic Symbian. Just a thought, maybe.

CANNOT UNINSTALL TREND MICRO TITANIUM MAXIMUM SECURITY

This happened to me when I'm configuring a new machine, Sony Vaio in Win7 32 bit OS, with pre-installed Trend Micro Titanium Maximum Security. Windows update is done, computer is running well but for some reasons, Trend Micro cant be removed so that installation of preferred antivirus can be done.
Steps:
A1. Go to Start type add or remove programs and click on it
A2. Highlight Trend Micro, click on Uninstall
On this process, it hangs to 0%.

Try the next steps:
B1. Go to Start\All programs\TrendMicro\look for Toolkit
B2. Run it and uninstall
Restart pc and it's gone!
What if you after A2 you cant see the Trend Micro on Start up items anymore?
C1. Go to My Computer
C2. Browse to C: drive\Program Files\Trend Micro\tool or toolkit
C3. Run the application and wallah!
Restart the pc and it's gone!

There are some applications over the net that will surely uninstall the antivirus, but along the process, it asks for me to purchase the uninstall software or to register the software itself, to my dismay, I have to look for another alternative.

HOW TO TRANSFER CONTACTS FROM IPHONE TO SAMSUNG GALAXY S3

When it comes to phone to phone contact transfer, I usually employ Outlook. The trick is connect the source phone to PC and use their software (PC Suite, etc) and sync all contacts to Outlook. Then connect the destination phone to PC and using the phone software, you can then sync Outlook into the second phone.
For this post, we are trying to transfer contacts from iPhone4S to Samsung Galaxy S3 using iTunes, Samsung Kies and Outlook.

1. Connect iPhone to PC. Using iTunes, sync to Outlook (make sure that you dont have other contacts in Outlook)
2. All contacts are now in Outlook.
3. Using Samsung Kies (pronounced as kiss), sync Outlook contacts to Samsung S3
4. All contacts are now in Android Samsung Galaxy S3. Reverse the method in transferring contacts from Samsung Android to iPhone.
