Dropped your Mobile Phone in Water.. ??

Dropped your mobile phone or ipod in water? Rush to the kitchen



What is the next step that you would take if your expensive mobile phone or ipod gets wet in the rain or your drop it in a wash basin?



Such accidents are not very uncommon.Adam curry once dropped his iphone in the toilet.


Venadium went for a swim while the ipod was still in his pocket.Leo Laporte did something similar to his cellphone.Virgo soaked his ipod when a bottle of diet Coke fell over his
trousers.



Since the warranty for most electronics does not cover water damage,what can you do to revive that wet gadget? The answer is in your kitchen.




Power off the device and try to completely cover the ipod or iphone in a bowl of rice.Rice being a natural desiccant will help absorb the excess moisture.Let it try for atleast 24 hours and DO NOT try to charge the device.




If your gadget has a removable battery,dry it separately to speed up the whole drying process.


This home remedy is cheap and worth giving a try before you rush to the apple store for a replacement.



Ernesto Londono successfully managed to fix his wet Blackberry phone after he left the device soaked overnight in a bowl of uncooked rice.

What is the meaning and origin of the expression "once in a blue moon"? When something happens "once in a blue moon" it happens very rarely. Here are a few examples, * My brother George lives in Russia. I see him once in a blue moon. * We have visitors once in a blue moon. * How often does Tendulkar come to office? Once in a blue moon. There are several explanations as to the origin of this expression. According to scientists, whenever a volcano erupts, the sulphur and dust particles that are thrown up into the atmosphere often cause the moon to appear blue for some time. When the volcano on Krakatoa (an island between Java and Sumatra) exploded in 1883, rocks were hurled thirty miles high into the air and dust from the volcano fell nearly three thousands miles away. After this eruption the moon looked blue for several days. Luckily for us, volcanoes don't erupt every day, so a blue moon continues to be a rare phenomenon. Another explanation offered by scholar...

I've noticed that the more sternly I speak to my kids — for example, after they've run into the street without looking — the more distraught they get. How can I make sure they understand the seriousness of certain situations without making them feel worse? As the saying goes, "Desperate times call for desperate measures." When your child's safety is at risk — whether he's run into the street, reached for an open flame, or gotten dangerously close to a pool — yelling, screaming, or crying out is a perfectly normal (and necessary!) response. After all, at that moment, you would do anything possible to get your child's attention and get him out of harm's way. After an episode like this, it's natural for kids to cry — and for you to want to apologize. But the truth is, your kids are likely crying in response to the fear and urgency in your voice, not because you've been "too stern." At times like these, it's OK to comfort them without...

What is the difference between "plump" and "fat"? When an individual is plump or fat, he is overweight. The word "fat" has a negative connotation associated with it. When you say that someone is "fat", what you are implying is that he is overweight and doesn't present a pleasant sight. It is considered impolite to call someone fat to his face. The word "plump", on the other hand, is normally used to indicate approval. When you say that someone is plump, what you are implying is that the individual is overweight in a pleasant sort of way. In other words, you approve of the soft rounded body that the individual has! The individual though overweight is not unpleasant to look at. In the 60s and 70s many of our movie heroines were plump. Thanks & Regards.
