A delectably delicious new year - chocolate crusted lemon tart

My friend went to New Zealand and the Cadbury factory last month and came back with the Green and Black's chocolate cookbook - lotsa awesome recipes including this one for a divine lemon tart. Definitely a holiday hit.

This year, I hope I'll be able to include more about the foodie community. There are so many great food bloggers out there, especially here in Sydney and I would love to become more involved with it. Hopefully that also means I get myself off my lazy butt and blog more!

Have a very happy new year everyone and here's to a delectably delicious 2011!

Micromax EG333: 3 inch Touchscreen Mobile with Tata Photon+ Support

Posted: 01 Jan 2011 08:36 AM PST


Micromax is set to launch a touchscreen handset named Micromax EG333 which boasts of its inbuilt support for Tata Photon+. This feature is very well utilized by the device`s Live TV app, thus allowing you to watch more than 70 channels on the move.

The new EG333 also comes with a decent multimedia and connectivity options and a Java support as well.

Micromax EG333 Hardware Configuration

Micromax-EG333

Micromax EG333 is a 3 inch touchscreen phone which supports both GSM and CDMA networks.  It weighs 120 grams and bears a dimension of 115.5 x 53.5 x 15.6 mm.  Regarding the looks, the phone offers a very simple yet stylish appearance, which I think can grab the attention of the youth.

Coming to the multimedia part, the phone has a strong MP3 Player capable of playing all major media files. It also has a stereo FM radio which comes with recording support as well. The device is also equipped with a 3.5 mm audio jack, and thus you can easily get the audio jacks at all the outlets without much of a problem, in case the jack malfunctions.

The phone’s 2MP camera is just about decent in terms of giving quality images in day light. However, at night, it is seriously pathetic. But, we all know that something is always better than nothing.

For connectivity purposes, the phone comes with a support of GPRS, WAP, MMS and Bluetooth.

Regarding the power options, the device is powered by a 1500mAh battery, capable of providing around 4 hours of talk-time in both the networks and around 5 days of standby time.

Micromax EG333 Software/ OS Platform

Though the device does not come with a support of any known OS, but it does have a support for Java. So, you can endlessly download the apps or the games from the web and use on your device. The phone also comes with numerous inbuilt social networking apps as well.

Micromax EG333 Price and Availability

Micomax EG333`s availability and price is not decided yet. However, expect the price to be close to around Rs. 7,500.

Micromax EG333 Tech Specs

Dual SIM GSM + CDMA
Camera 2MP
MP3 Player/ Radio Yes
GPRS Yes
Bluetooth Yes
Java Support Yes
Expandable Memory 4GB
Talk Time 4 hours in both the networks

My Verdict

Micromax EG333 is a just another Micromax`s innovation, which I think will capture the minds of the people. It can basically be thought of as a touchscreen phone cum Tata Photon+ USB dongle. Rest all the features are nominal too. If the price of the handset is between the range between Rs. 6000 to 7000, it can be certainly a great handset. What are your views on it? Do let us know.

Too Much to Drink? Try Yoga

If the holiday festivities have left you feeling like your body needs a good wringing out, a trip to the yoga studio — or your own yoga mat at home — may be just what the doctor ordered. Whether you choose a gentle, restorative approach or a more vigorous one like Power Yoga, designed for the exceptionally fit, yoga can help to revive a fuzzy mind or aching body and bring relief from that bane of New Year’s Day: the hangover.

Though there is no evidence to support claims that yoga will eliminate alcohol’s toxic effects, “we do feel that yoga reduces stress and has health benefits,” said Dr. Debbie L. Cohen, a kidney specialist at the University of Pennsylvania who is studying yoga as an alternative to medication to lower high blood pressure. She cites studies showing that yoga can reduce chronic stress, ease arthritic conditions and improve the quality of life in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. (MORE)

Windows 7 has a in-built feature to rotate desktop wallpapers when a bunch of wallpapers is given to it. This can be done with control over time interval in which wallpapers are rotated.

If you are not satisfied with just changing the wallpapers automatically and want more then Weather Desktop Background Changer is a good utility to give a try.

Weather Desktop Background Changer is a portable freeware application only for windows 7. It is easy to use and has a simple interface. Only thing that you have to do is changing or providing it with a location. People living in USA can directly select their location.

Once the location is set you can view weather conditions on application window. Now, this application has a background folder and can be found in the downloaded directory. There are several wallpapers in that folder which specifies a particular whether condition.

You can replace these wallpapers with you own wallpapers, hence from next time for that weather condition the image you replaced will be displayed as wallpaper. There are also options to fit the wallpaper on screen i.e fill, fit, stretch, tile and center.
