Threaded Messaging

Threaded messaging displays both sides of a text messaging (SMS) conversation on one screen, in chronological order. In this way it also groups messages from the same person together.

For example, if you sent a message to your friend Bob, then he replied, then you replied back, all of those messages would appear in that order on one screen.

The alternative to threaded messaging is to have all messages you have sent appear in a completely separate "Sent" folder. Also, messages from various people are all mixed together in one Inbox, instead of being grouped by person as with threaded messaging.

Varasiddhi Vinayagar Temple
At the outset when there was no spiritual place for the residents to experience God this mighty temple appeared in 1964.

Am infact proud to write down a simple truth here that my grand father magnanimously contributed a piece of land for this temple where a majestic Temple stands today.

The Diety of this temple is most powerful.

Bluejacking

Bluejacking is the sending of unsolicited messages over Bluetooth to Bluetooth-enabled devices such as mobile phones, PDAs or laptop computers, sending a vCard which typically contains a message in the name field (i.e. for bluedating or bluechat) to another bluetooth enabled device via the OBEX protocol.
Bluetooth has a very limited range, usually around 10 meters on mobile phones, but laptops can reach up to 100 meters with powerful (Class 1) transmitters.

Origins
'Bluejacking' was reportedly first carried out by a Malaysian IT consultant who used his phone to advertise Sony Ericsson. He also invented the name, an amalgam of Bluetooth and 'ajack', his username on Esato, a Sony Ericsson fan online forum.

Usage
Bluejacking is usually harmless, but because bluejacked people generally don't know what has happened, they may think that their phone is malfunctioning. Usually, a bluejacker will only send a text message, but with modern phones it's possible to send images or sounds as well. Bluejacking has been used in guerrilla marketing campaigns to promote advergames.
With the increase in the availability of Bluetooth enabled devices, these devices have become vulnerable to virus attacks and even complete take over of devices through a trojan horse program.
Bluejacking is also confused with Bluesnarfing which is the way in which mobile phones are illegally hacked via Bluetooth.

ADI SANKARA BHAGAVATPADA


Birth of Adi Sankara:
Sankara was born to the nambudiri brahman couple, Sivaguru and Arymba, in a little village called kaladi in Kerala. The couple had remained childless for a long time, and prayed for children at the vadakkunnathan temple in nearby Trichur. Siva is said to have appeared to the couple in a dream and promised them a choice of one son who would be short-lived but the most brilliant philosopher of his day, or many sons who would be mediocre at best. The couple opted for a brilliant, but short-lived son, and so Sankara was born.

Sankara is considered to be the incarnation of Lord SHIVA.
