Using N95 as modem for Ubuntu 8.10

After a comment in my old post of how to use N95 as modem under linux
that N85 under Ubuntu Ultimate edition (2.0) is working by just connecting it
I tried today to connect N95 to Ubuntu 8.10 and it worked perfectly

This is how it worked
- connect the phone and select PC suite on the phone
- Ubuntu discovered the phone and knew the model
- I clicked configure the phone
- Ubuntu found the country and operators
- I selected the operator

and I'm online using the 3g connection of the Phone
thanks to Ubuntu it's the best OS ever

Name Any Tune With Shazam iD

this application may be old, but i just found it, it seems mazing
Shazam iD, an application that gives you the title and artist of any song playing wherever you are. Your phone listens to a few seconds of the song, analyzes it, searches some database online, then shows the information all within a few seconds. I’m dumbfounded how it’s possible, but this really cool to show off!

Download

The official Shazam site says it is only available to UK users and can only be downloaded by sending an SMS first. But there are other ways to download that app if you are not in the UK… try this Nokia Mosh download link or this S60 download link.

Gamers still loves PS2

as I'm a lover of PlayStation 2 and I'm still playing with it a lot,
I'm very happy to find that in Nielson’s 2008 Trend Summary top ten lists, people still spend more time with Playstation 2’s than any other gaming console. Based on usage minutes, the PS2 nearly doubles the time of the runner-up, the XBox 360, followed by the Wii, and then, interestingly enough, the traditional XBox beats out the Playstation 3.
Also, World of Warcraft (one of my favorite PC games) is the most-played PC game, played by nearly 1% of all gamers in the United States, at an average of 671 minutes per week. Call of Duty and Halo are next.
Also for mobile gaming, The top mobile game in the US last year was Tetris, followed by Bejeweled, then Guitar Hero III.

the List contains alot about other things like movies find it here

install unsigned application on Nokia N95 8GB V30.0.018

This is the way worked for my new N95 8gb

Step 1: Install all applications in the link (x-plore, CapsOff, CapsOn, and HelloCarbide)

Step 2: Copy installserver.exe and CProfDriver_SISX.ldd into memory card

Step 2: Launch X-plore, press “0″. Tick Show hidden files, Show ROM drives, Show RAM drives and Show system files/folders. Exit the configuration, and let X-plore run in the background.

Step 3: Run HelloCarbide, and select Menu1. Select Yes when a message appears.

Step 4: Open X-plore, move E:\installserver.exe and E:\CProfDriver_SISX.ldd to C:\sys\bin

Step 5: Restart phone.

Step 6: Install CapsOff and CapsOn. CapsOff enables you to see and travel through hidden/restricted directories. CapsOn turns back to normal. Remember to always run CapsOn everytime you’re done viewing/copying restricted folders.

Done!! You can install all unsigned applications and games from now on. Enjoy~!!
