ZAGG invisibleSHIELD is a scam

Something worth just 1-2 dollars they sell for 25$. It is bad , i ordered two iPhone 4 skins it took 10 days to come to my place . cost me about 52$ and what do i get ? Two motorola droid full body skins ! So i called them .. wait time 40 mins .. yes i was on call for 40 mins . finally i was given an RMA and told to return , but with a tracking method , and well you guessed it right, they said i have to pay for the return shipping .. well crazy , i think it was their fault they should return me the money for shipping too .. I realized they are there to make huge profits thats right .. they are cheats .. AVOID them at all costs. I have ordered from best skins ever which is 7.99$ a piece, lets see how that order goes through.

ubuntu 10.04 good .. but sad due to kernel issues

My dell studio 1555 always has some issue or the other with kernel. 2.6.31 which came with ubuntu 9.10 did not allow me to change brightness .. ACPI bug. Now that it was fixed in 2.6.32 i was happy with lucid alpha's , but later i came to know that when i was resuming my computer from sleep, it was having ACPI thermal was having an issue, so it shows 0 temperatures, hence fan doesnt start, so the computer runs very hot for some time and then dies. Very very bad. Now yes the fix is in 2.6.33 , but hey ubuntu sticks to 2.6.32 and i dont think there is a plan to backport .. well this is the problem with open source development, it is good, but it leads to lot of bugs and noone responsble for anything. ACPI bugs are not acceptable with laptops in play. So the solution !!! Back to windows !!! yay
Or rather i will try the daily kernels and upgrade my kernel.

No backup in Vim

Ever wondered why these files with *.*~ get generated and if there was a way to avoid that ?

1. Open vim
2. Esc : e $MYVIMRC
3. add the following lines after the "source " commands.
set nobackup
set nowritebackup
4. esc : wq

Thats it .. now your vim should stop writing backup files.
