Sony Ericsson’s Kurara Is More than What You Think It Is

Remember Kurara? That phone from Sony Ericsson That got leaked right after the XPERIA X10 came out from behind the veil? Well, we had it pegged down as an ordinary phone that is the stripped down, cheaper version of the Aino megaphone. Turns out that that is not the case at all. It is actually a pretty fast and snazzy little phone that holds the guts of a born performer.

I am referring to the fact that it is carrying an ARM Cortex A8 chip inside or so the rumor mills say. That chip is supported with a hefty Dose of RAM – whole 256MB of it. Then there is the PowerVR graphics processor – Kurara has one inside it.

Indians among world's most happiest people - poll

       NEW YORK (Reuters) - Despite economic woes, wars, conflicts and natural disasters the world is a happier place today than it was four years ago and Indonesians, Indians and Mexicans seem to be the most contented people on the planet.
        More than three-quarters of people around the globe who were questioned in an international poll said they were happy with their lives and nearly a quarter described themselves as very happy.

"The world is a happier place today and we can actually measure it because we have been tracking it," said John Wright, senior vice president of Ipsos Global, which has surveyed the happiness of more than 18,000 people in 24 countries since 2007.
 But he added that expectations of why people are happy should be carefully weighed.
"It is not just about the economy and their well being. It is about a whole series of other factors that make them who they are today."

Brazil and Turkey rounded out the top five happiest nations, while Hungary, South Korea, Russia, Spain and Italy had the fewest number of happy people.

Perhaps proving that money can't buy happiness, residents of some of the world biggest economic powers, including the United States, Canada and Britain, fell in the middle of the happiness scale.

Top 3 fitness mistakes

       We all make mistakes in our fitness training sometimes, but there are some that you should always try and avoid. Here are three fitness mistakes to pay attention to whether you’re just starting out in exercise training or have been training for a while.

1) Not regularly changing your fitness regime
         Getting stuck in a training rut is probably the most common training error of all, but if you fail to increase either the length or intensity of your runs, or the weight or number of weight-lifting repetitions that you do, the improvements will plateau out. In fact, one study found that in beginners, aerobic fitness began to plateau in as little as three weeks when the training load was not increased.
