FACTS ABOUT NOKIA

Here are some facts of our beloved phone company "NOKIA"

1) The ringtone "Nokia tune" is actually based on a 19th century guitar work named "Gran Vals" by Spanish musician Francisco Tárrega. The Nokia Tune was originally named "Grande Valse" on Nokia phones but was changed to "Nokia Tune" around 1998 when it became so well known that people referred to it as the "Nokia Tune."

2) The world's first commercial GSM call was made in 1991 in Helsinki over a Nokia-supplied network, by Prime Minister of Finland Harri Holkeri, using a Nokia phone.

3) Nokia is currently the world's largest digital camera manufacturer, as the sales of its camera-equipped mobile phones have exceeded those of any conventional camera manufacturer.

4) The "Special" tone available to users of Nokia phones when receiving SMS (text messages) is actually Morse code for "SMS". Similarly, the "Ascending" SMS tone is Morse code for "Connecting People," Nokia's slogan. The "Standard" SMS tone is Morse code for "M" (Message).

5) The Nokia corporate font (typeface) is the AgfaMonotype Nokia Sans font, originally designed by Eric Spiekermann. Its mobile phone User's Guides Nokia mostly used the Agfa Rotis Sans font.

6) In Asia, the digit 4 never appears in any Nokia handset model number, because 4 is considered unlucky in many parts of Southeast/East Asia.

7) Nokia was listed as the 20th most admirable company worldwide in Fortune's list of 2006 (1st in network communications, 4th non-US company).

8. Unlike other modern day handsets, Nokia phones do not automatically start the call timer when the call is connected, but start it when the call is initiated. (Except for Series 60 based handsets like the Nokia 6600)

9) Nokia is sometimes called aikon (Nokia backwards) by non-Nokia mobile phone users and by mobile software developers, because "aikon" is used in various SDK software packages, including Nokia's own Symbian S60 SDK.

10) The name of the town of Nokia originated from the river which flowed through the town. The river itself, Nokianvirta, was named after the old Finnish word originally meaning sable, later pine marten. A species of this small, black-furred predatory animal was once found in the region, but it is now extinct.

SBI shuts website after hackers break in

The State Bank of India, the country’s largest bank, has had to shut down its corporate website after overseas hackers tried to break in.


While the bank said that transactions took place through www.onlinesbi.com, a senior SBI source said that the transactions were slow as the entire system was under watch.

The country’s largest bank decided to shut down its corporate website www.sbi.co.in on Wednesday evening when hackers blocked some of the pages. The bank also noticed unusually high traffic on its website on Wednesday.

Subsequently, the website was blocked with a ‘service unavailable’ or ‘our site is under maintenance’ pasted on www.sbi.co.in.

“We have informed the Reserve Bank of India and the cyber cell of the Mumbai Police, which are looking into the issue,” said a senior bank executive. The police and SBI suspect that the hackers are based overseas.

A Mumbai Police officer said that the cyber cell was investigating the complaint but did not share details: “It is big and the implications may be large.”

SBI sources, on their part, said that no evidence has been found of loss of data or consumers getting affected. “We suspect that the hackers wanted some information from the website and disrupt the whole system,” an executive, who did not wish to be named, said.

Out of SBI’s 2.7 million internet banking customers, 2.5 million are retail banking customers. In recent months, the bank has tried to push services such as e-trade and e-freight to lower transaction costs. As a result of the disruption, a host of transactions have been affected, especially since the suspension coincided with the year-end holidays.

The sites are maintained by the bank’s information technology department based out of the SBI Global IT Centre in Belapur. The department has been put on high alert and the bank is trying to restore services over the weekend.

SBI is the latest among Indian banks to face a threat from hackers. Banks routinely have to deal with phishing attempts and have over a period tried to sensitise their customers about not sharing details of their accounts over the internet.

According to a recent report by security firm Symantec, there were over 400 unique phishing attacks on reputed Indian banks during the second half of 2007. A report by MessageLabs, another security services company, indicated that phishing attacks rose 16 per cent between August and September and shot up by 103 per cent between September and October 2008.

One Button for Both Stop and Reload in Firefox

The Stop and the Reload buttons in any web browser are interchangeably required - the Stop button is used when a web page is in the loading state while the Reload (or Refresh) button is only needed when the page has loaded either completely or partially.

While browsers like Safari, Opera and Google Chrome use a single button for both Stop and Reload function, Firefox has two separate buttons thus pushing the address and search bar further to the right.

To conserve this otherwise wasted space, you can use the Stop-or-Reload extension for Firefox that will replace the two buttons with a single contextual button as show in the following screenshot.
