Apple‘s long rumored tablet has been finally unveiled and is now officially called the ‘iPad‘.

From the looks of it, the device seems pretty awesome. It has a 9.7-inch LED-backlit display with a 1024-by-768-pixel resolution and multi touch support. It will come with 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB of storage and will have other features like WiFi, Bluetooth, Accelerometer and much more. The iPad is based on the Apple iPhone OS, so expect lots of similar apps for it too. The price for the tablet starts at $499.

Recently got a Nokia N900 and I just have one word for it – ‘awesome’. This phone deserves to be called the best from Nokia.

I’ve not done a very detailed review of the the N900 but here’s a short summary of what I’ve felt about the device during my recent use.

Design:
When I saw the pics of the phone on the web I was concerned about it’s size, particularly the bulk but now having the phone in my hand I can say that it’s a really good, solid device. The phone fits comfortably in the hand and has a nice design too. The N900 also has a slide-out 3-row backlit QWERTY keyboard. The keys may be a little squashed together but it’s perfectly fine to use.

Tech Junky wishes all it’s readers a very Happy New Year!

Here’s the unboxing video of the new Nokia N900 and the packaging is super awesome. The device is in a shiny cube and the only way to get into the box is to plug it to a PC, establish a link, and then type in the right terminal command to unlock the lid. Wow!

And what’s the command?

It’s the company’s motto – ‘Connecting People’!

Check out the video to experience it.

You were looking at the Facebook profile of that sweet girl in your class and you by mistake sent her a request, whereas you didn’t want to do something like this and wanted to show as if you had no interest in her! Worried, how to cancel the request?? Oh, Poor you!

There’s another point to it. If you send someone a request, they can access your profile for an indefinite period without confirming it. So it can be a privacy issue too.

If you are some unlucky chap facing such a situation, then no need to worry. There’s a solution for you to cancel
the friend request you’ve just sent.

Well actually Facebook does not allow you to revoke a friend request. If you go by the rules, the other person
first has to accept your request and then only can you delete him/her from your profile.

But there’s a way out and all you have to do is play with your privacy settings. Follow these steps:

1. After you’ve sent the friend request, go to Setting > Privacy Settings.
2. Add that person to you ‘Block List‘. This will break the friend request.
3. Then again unblock him/her.

Now visit that person’s profile. Magic! It shows that good old ‘Add as Friend’.
