The iPhone: Second Time's a Charm

The original iPhone was a high-tech indulgence. From its gorgeous touchscreen to its classy Web browser, it set a new bar for the look and feel of mobile phones. Naysayers nitpicked about its technical shortcomings — and its top-shelf price — but its breakthrough design won it millions of fans nonetheless.

The new iPhone 3G should please everyone. Its look and feel are only slightly improved, but a faster network loads Web pages more quickly, true GPS functionality allows it to easily find places nearby, and the new $199 price (down from $400) makes it an affordable luxury.
Before deciding whether to buy, however, make sure you can actually take advantage of the iPhone 3G's high-speed data network. 3G stands for third-generation, which in non-geek speak translates to Web pages and mail messages that, ideally, load about three times faster than on the original iPhone. Even better, 3G coverage enables you to make a phone call and surf the Web at the same time. That's great, if you live or work in a place where the 3G network of AT&T (the sole wireless carrier of the iPhone) is active. (To find out, check AT&T's virtual map.) That's not so great in cities like New York where AT&T's cellular coverage is awful. As one of my colleagues in New York City, who bought the original iPhone, commented, "It's just a toy. You can't make phone calls on it, so I carry my Verizon phone with me all the time."

The real fun begins when you tap on the icon called "App Store" and start browsing the hundreds of add-on applications that have been developed just for the iPhone. You'll find tons of games (I like JirboBreak, a free game inspired by the Atari classic Breakout) and mobile versions of popular websites like Pandora, Facebook, MySpace and the New York Times. Most apps will cost you, but the vast majority are $9.99 or less. The apps work on the old iPhones too, but you'll enjoy them a lot more on the iPhone 3G because many of the programs, including Yelp (local business reviews), Whrrl (mobile social networking) and UrbanSpoon (restaurant reviews), use your exact location — provided by the iPhone 3G's GPS chip — to make recommendations. The apps also load much faster over the 3G network.

I was disappointed to learn, however, that 3G, while an improvement over AT&T's creaky Edge network, is still not fast enough to allow wireless downloads of either iTunes music or some of the larger applications. Instead, I had to either log onto a wi-fi network or physically plug my phone into my PC. And it still feels pokey compared to my cable broadband connection at home. At times, downloads took so long that I gave up on checking for new messages and waiting for mobile websites to load. Even the prettiest browser can't make up for that.

The virtual keyboard, perhaps the iPhone's most unloved feature, remains unchanged. I like it, but some people find it so torturous to type with that they refrain from sending e-mails or typing Web addresses altogether. Fortunately, the new apps in many ways serve as shortcuts to popular websites, reducing the need to do much typing. So, instead of launching the built-in Safari browser and typing a URL, you can just tap on, say, the free WeatherBug app to check the forecast or the iScopes button to get your daily horoscope.

Here's my top gripe: the iPhone 3G does not let you record video or watch live TV, features that are standard (and free) on less expensive rivals like the Samsung Instinct and Verizon Voyager. There is no excuse for leaving out these functions. Otherwise, I can live with the unremovable battery and accept the skimpy battery life (about 5 hours with heavy usage in my tests) as the price for the iPhone's big, bright screen. Since I don't have a huge media collection, the unexpandable memory (8 GB comes standard; for 16 GB, you'll pay an extra $100) doesn't faze me either. If you've got lots of songs, photos or other files, however, this is a real drawback.
Still, it's hard not to have a soft spot for the iPhone. The problematic launch of the iPhone 3G on July 11 was unfortunate. But once you've tapped around the browser for even a few minutes or played with the slider that lets you fast-forward or rewind voice messages in the phone's visual voicemail, it's easy to see why millions of people are sold. The iPhone has the most elegant user interface of any phone I've seen, and its add-on apps make it more than just a toy you'll soon outgrow. What's more, the iPhone's GPS chip and 3G network bring it closer in line with other smartphones' data capabilities.

So, if you can live with the $70-per-month fee for all-inclusive data and voice calling — and can get decent coverage with AT&T where you live — it's certainly worth considering. If you're on a budget (and who isn't?), though, you'll find more useful features on less pricey rivals.
Personally, I'm holding out for the new handsets that will run on Google's Android operating system due out later this year. Android phones will be carrier agnostic, so I won't be shackled to the AT&T network, and the phone's add-on apps are likely to be less expensive (and possibly even free). That's the promise, anyway. I'll know for sure once I get my hands on one.

Rahasia Titik Seksual di Tubuh Pria

Biasanya kaum lelaki mengerti bahwa semua bagian dari badan mereka merupakan daerah yang cukup sensitif. Jadi jika Anda ingin meningkatkan hasrat seorang pria, maka Anda dapat melakukannya dengan sangat mudah: sentuhlah badan pria.
Tentunya dari semua anggota tubuh, ada beberapa titik tertentu yang akan membuat seorang pria dapat meningkat dengan cepat libidonya. Dr Patti Britton mengatakan bahwa tubuh pria ada umumnya memiliki tiga titik rangsang utama. Bahkan bagi beberapa pria, ketiga titik tersebut dapat membuat mereka merasakan multiple orgasm. Memang tidak mudah membuat seorang pria merasakan kenikmatan multiple orgasm ini, namun setidaknya Anda bisa membuat seorang pria merasakan kenikmatan luar biasa dengan sentuhan jari-jari Anda. Pertanyaannya sekarang, di bagian manakah ketiga titik tadi berada?
Pertama, frenulum. Frenulum adalah bagian sensitif seorang pria yang terdapat di bagian bawah kepala Mr.P. Biasanya adalah titik pertemuan antara kulit luar MrP dengan bagian kepala Mr.P. Titik ini bila disentuh dengan baik dapat memberikan rasa nikmat yang luar biasa pada seorang pria. Kapan pun titik itu Anda sentuh, maka pasangan Anda akan segera merasakan rangsangan yang sangat kuat, demikian kata Dr. Britton
Kedua, perineum. Perineum adalah daerah yang terletak antara testis dan Mr.P. Sebelum Anda berhubungan badan, pemanasan dapat dilakukan dengan cara merangsang titik ini terlebih dahulu. Hal ini akan memberikan sensasi yang sangat kuat baginya. Dr. Britton menyebut titik ini sebagai titik rahasia. Jadi lakukan sentuhan lembut pada area ini. Trik yang akan sangat membantu untuk memberikan rangsangan ini adalah pada saat Anda melakukan rangsangan secara oral kepada pasangan Anda, sentuh area ini dengan lembut menggunakan lidah Anda.
Ketiga, prostat. Prostat terletak di bagian bawah kandung kemih, sehingga rangsangan dapat dilakukan dengan memasukkan sebagian dari jari Anda melalui lubang anus. Pada saat melakukan rangsangan ini, sebaiknya gunakan pelicin berupa gel atau pelicin tertentu. Gerakkan jari Anda dengan terpusat pada prostatnya. Hal ini akan memberikan sensasi yang tidak mungkin tertandingi. Gunakan berbagai cara dan dan variasi serta anggota badan yang memungkinkan untuk merangsang ketiga titik ini, sehingga sensasi yang dihadirkan bagi pasangan pria Anda akan luar biasa! (kpl/ari)

Ferdinand Porsche
born: 03-09-1875
birth place: Czechoslovakia
died: 27-03-1951

The young Porsche chose to be a mechanical apprentice instead of attending university.

In 1898, he was employed by Lohner, a manufacturer of electric cars and, at the age of 23, he designed the Lohner-Porsche. This car was exhibited at the most prestigious car exhibition of the time, L'Exposition Universelle De Paris in 1900.

Porsche won the opportunity to design another prototype, a four wheel drive with an electrical motor in each wheel.

In 1902, with Ferdinand Porsche as the pilot, it won its class at the hill climb in Exelber, Austria.

During the next 25 years, he worked for many different companies. One of his most important achievements was the design of a road train used in WWI.

Porsche joined Daimler Germany in 1923. In 1926, Daimler merged with Benz, providing the opportunity for Porsche to work on the Mercedes S and SSK projects.

As well as race cars, he designed a diesel powered truck and a popular automobile. He opened his own engineering office in Stuttgart in 1930.

In 1934, the order from Hitler to design and build the first "peoples car" was received. Porsche designed the Volkswagen Beetle, as well as many military vehicles used by the Nazis during WWII.

After the war, Porsche spent twenty months in a French prison, and his son took control of the business.

Dr. Porsche (he received an honorary doctorate degree from the University of Stuttgart) was certainly the most prolific automotive designer of first half of the 20th century.

Dr. Porsche died in 1951 at the age of 75. The Porsche name has gone on to greater fame and success, thanks to his son's, and grandchildren's, involvement with the engineering company Ferdinand Porsche created.

KapanLagi.com - Meskipun masturbasi sering dianggap sebagai hal yang tabu, tapi sebenarnya itu normal dan sangat umum. Penasehat masalah seks Suzie Hayman akan menjelaskan mengapa penting untuk tahu bagaimana memuaskan diri Anda sendiri dengan tujuan nantinya bisa dimanfaatkan saat Anda berhubungan seks dengan pasangan Anda.

Pesan negatif
Saat bayi atau masih kecil, Anda mungkin menjelajahi tubuh Anda dari ujung ke ujung untuk mengetahui dari mana Anda berasal, dan bagian mana yang menimbulkan rasa nyaman. Percobaan semacam ini biasanya berkembang menjadi masturbasi, tetapi anak-anak sering menerima nasehat yang membingungkan dari orang tua tentang hal ini. Mereka dilarang untuk menyentuh diri sendiri dan tangan mereka dipukul. Hal ini cenderung meninggalkan kesan bahwa eksplorasi seksual benar-benar suatu hal yang sangat buruk.

Tetapi segala larangan itu tidak berarti membuat anak-anak berhenti melakukannya. Tetapi malahan membuat anak laki-laki akan mencoba bermasturbasi secara diam-diam dan tergesa-gesa dengan tujuan tidak terpergok. Hal ini akan mendorong terjadinya ejakulasi dini di masa mendatang ketika mereka sudah menikah. Sedang pada anak perempuan akan terus menumbuhkan anggapan kalau mereka seharusnya tidak pernah mengakui melakukan masturbasi, bahkan nantinya di depan pasangan mereka sendiri.

Banyak sekali cerita mengerikan telah muncul selama berabad-abad seputar eksplorasi seksual yang dilakukan diri sendiri ini. Orang-orang mengatakan dengan melakukan itu akan membuat rambut akan tumbuh di telapak tangan Anda, membuat seks sesungguhnya menjadi tidak memuaskan dan itu hanya dilakukan oleh orang yang sedih dan putus asa. Tidak ada satupun dari mitos itu yang benar. Tetapi kesimpulan keseluruhan dari pesan negatif yaitu masturbasi selalu dilihat sebagai tindakan menyedihkan untuk orang-orang yang putus asa, yang mana tidak perlu dihargai atau didiskusikan.

Jenis lain dari sentuhan
Masturbasi bisa lebih memuaskan jika Anda memvariasikan cara bagaimana menyentuh diri Anda. Pilih waktu di mana Anda bisa sendirian, santai dan merasa nyaman. Berbaringlah dan gerakkan tangan Anda ke seluruh bagian tubuh Anda. Cobalah belaian, usapan, gigitan, cubitan dan cakaran lembut.

Tidak ada satupun yang lahir langsung mengetahui bagaimana tubuh mereka atau orang lain bisa merespon rangsangan seksual. Anda harus belajar dengan proses trial and error. Dan karena setiap orang berbeda, satu-satunya cara untuk mengetahui bagaimana memuaskan pasangan Anda adalah dengan mempelajari dari mereka. Sudah umum dan normal untuk orang dewasa dalam hubungan yang bahagia untuk merasa seperti memuaskan diri sendiri.

Jangan terburu-buru
Fokuskan pada bagian yang membuat Anda terangsang, tetapi cobalah jangan hanya merangsang bagian-bagian yang sudah sangat jelas. Anda bisa membuat diri Anda orgasme dengan merangsang penis atau klitoris Anda, tetapi akan menjadi lebih menyenangkan dan klimaks Anda akan lebih memuaskan, kalau Anda mengeksplorasi sebanyak-banyaknya bagian lain dari tubuh Anda.

Cobalah cara ini
Masturbasi akan bisa terasa lebih baik jika Anda memakai sensasi yang sama sekali berbeda. Coba belaian secara lembut dengan:
- tangan yang sudah dilumuri minyak atau krim.
- bulu
- bulu binatang palsu.
- selendang berbahan sutra.
- sikat untuk badan.
- spon mandi di bawah air hangat, kemudian ganti di air dingin.

Membagi temuan Anda
Ketika Anda punya kesempatan untuk mengeksplorasi sendiri tubuh dan respon Anda sendiri, Anda bisa mulai berpikir untuk membagi penemuan Anda ini dengan pasangan Anda. Melihat mereka memuaskan diri sendiri dapat merangsang Anda, sekaligus itu cara terbaik untuk mempelajari bagaimana memuaskan pasangan Anda.

Masturbasi bersama atau saling menggosok tubuh punya banyak keuntungan. Itu aman, tidak ada resiko kehamilan atau infeksi. Seks tanpa penetrasi juga mengurangi tekanan apa yang harus Anda lakukan. Ereksi berkurang atau orgasme sebelum pasangan Anda tidak akan mengacaukan hubungan seks dengan cara ini. Secara keseluruhan dengan meningkatkan kemampuan masturbasi Anda dapat menyumbang banyak untuk kehidupan seksual Anda bersama pasangan Anda

Torino Food Tour

Food capital

Enjoying good food and drink is undoubtedly an important part of Turin (Torino) culture. With the informal atmosphere of the trattorias, the charm of the top restaurants and the exoticism of the ethnic eateries, your eyes, nose and taste buds are in for a incredible experience. Turin (Torino) is, in fact, one of the undisputed world capitals of taste: the city has always boasted a tradition of good food and wine and is famous for the unique ingredients that are used in its local dishes and the skill and creativity of its chefs, confectioners and chocolate makers. Several establishments have developed here over the years that pay close attention to quality and continuous improvement, in order to making eating and drinking a truly pleasurable experience. Thanks to initiatives such as Gourmet in & around Torino and ChocoPass you can sample many different dishes and delicacies at affordable prices. Go on, give in to temptation!

Getting to know Turin (Torino) also means trying out some of its numerous restaurants, where you will be able to sample regional dishes and explore innovative recipes by chefs who have made creativity the key to their success. Starters such as anchovies in green sauce and electric tomini, tasty first courses including agnolotti and tajarin pasta (which can be sprinkled with the fragrant and much sought-after white truffles in the autumn), second courses such as boiled meat, pot roast and mixed fried fish and the extremely original bagna caoda sauce, are the preamble to a selection of cheeses and desserts that no gourmet will be able to resist. Good food should be accompanied by fine wine, and there is no shortage of the latter in Piemonte, with 9 DOCG wines and more than 40 DOC wines. There are whites (Gavi, Arneis, Favorita, Moscato), superb reds (Dolcetto, Grignolino, Barbera, Nebbiolo, Barbaresco and Barolo), and also sparkling wines, which, through Martini & Rossi, gave rise to the tradition of Asti Spumante. And don’t forget the Canavese district ad the Valleys of Lanzo, walking among the Wine Trails, with their well-known wines, appreciated in Italy and abroad, and the rich traditional flavours of the typical cuisine of the Olympic Mountains. In some restaurants and wine bars it is possible to take your unfinished bottle home with you. Many establishments participate in the Buta Stupa project (a Piedmontese expression meaning ‘uncorked bottle’) and will seal the bottle and put it in a paper bag so that you can finish it later, prolonging the pleasant memory of your stay in Turin (Torino). To find out more about the history of oenology you can visit the Martini Museum at the gates of the city. It is housed in the cellars of the 18th century villa that was home to the first Martini & Rossi factory.

If a good morning depends on a good breakfast, you will never have a bad day in Turin (Torino). An excellent espresso, cappuccino or Moroccan coffee, accompanied by fresh brioches, in one of the many bars and cafes in the city centre is certainly a moment to savour, and it soon becomes a habit. The famous Lavazza brand of coffee originates from Turin (Torino). It was produced in the old city centre, in a grocery shop that is now a modern café and restaurant, where you can sample the coffee in many different forms. Turin (Torino) is the city of historical cafes, where men of culture, politicians and noble ladies would meet in the 1800s. Today, they are still a part of Turinese custom and culture, a must for visitors who wish to taste the specialities of subalpine confectionery in an atmosphere of bygone days. The fine cuisine and outstanding wines of Turin (Torino) and Piedmont can also be enjoyed at home. The Chamber of Commerce of Turin (Torino) and Slow Food have created the Maestri del Gusto (Masters of Taste), a collection of valuable addresses that have been selected according to the specific characteristics of regional produce: you will find shops that sell Piedmontese specialities, pasta and cheese, butcher’s shops and gastronomic emporiums. There is also a mention for the new food and wine superstore, Eataly.
