I bought a Desire S smartphone a little more than 2 months ago, but did not have a chance to really use it, yet. It came with an elusive and odd bug. The touch screen stopped responding once in a while. This could occur any time, but seemed to happen less frequently after 5-10 minutes of active use.

The first time I sent the phone to repair, it came back with flashed ROM, but the problem stayed.

The second time I sent the phone for repair, it came back with a new touch screen, but the problem stayed.

Three days ago, I got my hands on the HTC Trophy 7 running Windows Phone 7. Until now, I played occasionally with Android, but never used a smartphone.

Here's a list of things I'd like to do on the smartphone:

• Transfer the contacts from the old Nokia phone
• Listen to music and audio books from the local collection
• Read books from Flibusta

In the process, I'd rather not to reveal too much personal information to Microsoft. The wishlist looks simple, huh? Let's see what I managed to do.

This is how the Belgian public credit risk insurance body evaluates risks in select world countries. The country that has the world record of being without the government is rated best, the other, buried down in a full-fledged civil war, is just marginally worse, and the most stable political regime on earth is very risky.

В этих самых интернетах очередной скандал: все сливают некую российскую компанию, которая продаёт некачественные автокресла в интернете.

По поводу автокресел в 2008 году вышло исследование американского экономиста Стивена Левитта, который более известен как автор книжки Freakonomics. Стивен на свои деньги заказал испытания ремней безопасности по программе испытаний автокресел. С макетами детишек разных возростов, датчиками, замедленной съёмкой. Короче, полный фарш.
