Hacking GPS




* This is the "user manual" that didn't come with any of the 30 million GPS receivers currently in use, showing readers how to modify, tweak, and hack their GPS to take it to new levels!
* Crazy-cool modifications include exploiting secret keycodes, revealing hidden features, building power cords and cables, hacking the battery and antenna, protecting a GPS from impact and falls, making a screen protector, and solar-powering a GPS
* Potential power users will take the function and performance of their GPS to a whole new level by hacking into the firmware and hacking into a PC connection with a GPS
* Fear not! Any potentially dangerous mod (to the device) is clearly labeled, with precautions listed that should be taken
* Game time! Readers can check out GPS games, check into hacking geocaching, and even use a GPS as a metal detector

Brand Failures

Brand Failures - 100 Branding failures of all times
“Haig, a marketing consultant, is one of a new breed of writers producing marketing primers for the hyphenated age of e-marketing. This type of work is characterized by breezily written snippets of success or failure as either encouragement or admonition for the practitioner or for a new category of reader: the business voyeur. Thus these works are written in a readable and appealing format, as e-business fables. Examining ‘the 100 biggest branding mistakes of all time, ‘ Haig organizes these 100 “failures” into ten types, each with its own moral and admonition. These types include classic failures (e.g., New Coke), idea failures (e.g., R.J. Reynolds’ smokeless cigarettes), extension failures (e.g., Harley Davidson perfume), culture failures (e.g., Kelloggs in India), and technology failures (e.g., Pets.com). The idea behind this work is that with knowledge these failures can be avoided, but this reviewer regards it as akin to Monday morning quarterbacking in its validity as an activity. None of this takes away the schadenfreude of this well-written, quick read. Useful more as a cultural artifact than classroom text, this book could serve as supplementary reading for advanced marketing courses and for business voyeurs who like a good read. Summing Up: Recommended. General readers; upper-division undergraduate and graduate students; and practitioners.”
— S. A. Schulman, CUNY Kingsborough Community College

A Short History Of Nearly Everything - Bill Bryson

Book Description
This new edition of the acclaimed bestseller is lavishly illustrated to convey, in pictures as in words, Bill Bryson’s exciting, informative journey into the world of science.

In A Short History of Nearly Everything, beloved author Bill Bryson confronts his greatest challenge yet: to understand—and, if possible, answer—the oldest, biggest questions we have posed about the universe and ourselves. Taking as his territory everything from the Big Bang to the rise of civilization, Bryson seeks to understand how we got from there being nothing at all to there being us. The result is a sometimes profound, sometimes funny, and always supremely clear and entertaining adventure in the realms of human knowledge, as only Bill Bryson can render it.

Now, in this handsome new edition, Bill Bryson’s words are supplemented by full-color artwork that explains in visual terms the concepts and wonder of science, at the same time giving face to the major players in the world of scientific study. Eloquently and entertainingly described, as well as richly illustrated, science has never been more involving or entertaining.

Mind Games - Aging Brain and How to Keep it Healthy

WHY YOU SHOULD READ THIS BOOK

Regardless of your age, have you ever experienced what may
be affectionately described as “senior moments?” For example,
have you
• Checked three or four times to make sure that the same
appliance is turned off before you leave home?
• Tried to use a word in your conversation that you know
you know but cannot recall?
• Walked up and down the parking lot looking for your
car, with the grocery sacker tagging along behind?
• Forgotten someone’s name you just met, even though
you were rehearsing it while you were walking away?
• Had someone tell you that you do not correctly remember
what he or she told you?

Or, you may be apprehensive of your ability to adapt to
new situations. Are you concerned that rusty brain cells
may prevent you from successfully
• Moving to a new home or city?
• Joining a special-interest group to meet new friends?
• Earning a degree or enrolling in a continuing-education
course?
• Applying for a new job?
• Managing your business and/or life?
Well, if you answered “yes” to any of these questions or
have similar worries in your life, it’s not hopeless. This book is
just what you need.

Sam's Letters to Jennifer - Review


Book : Sam's Letters to Jennifer
Author : James Patterson
A Gist :

Have you ever gotten a letter that changed your life completely? It happened to me once. I still can feel the urgency that overtook me as I opened the envelope and the hunger I felt for whatever that letter would say. It seemed as if my entire life hung in the balance as I read.

Sam's Letters to Jennifer is a novel about that kind of drama. In it, a woman is summoned back to the town where she grew up. And in the house where she spent her most magical years she finds a series of letters addressed to her. Each of those letters is a piece of a story that will upend completely the world she thought she knew - and throw her into a love more powerful than she ever imagined could be possible. Two extraordinary love stories are entwined here, full of hope and pain and emotions that never die down.

I hope you'll enjoy this novel as much as I've enjoyed writing it. It's not often that you get a letter that changes your life. But it should happen to everyone at least once.

-- James Patterson

Rating : 3/5 - Good Reading

Review :

Laced with mystery, Sam's Letters To Jennifer combines two unforgettable love stories in a novel that's absolutely impossible to put down.

The Time Traveler's Wife - Review


Book : The Time Traveler's wife
Author : Audrey Niffenegger
Yr Pub : 2003
A Gist : In The Time Traveler's Wife, Audrey Niffenegger tells a touching love story with a new twist. Henry DeTamble is a librarian who suffers from a genetic disorder (its clinical name is Chrono-Displacement Disorder)that causes him to shift backward and forward through time. Without a moment's notice, he disappears, leaving behind his clothes and everything else, and arrives naked at another time in his life. Sometimes he even meets a different version of himself. He discovers that he has met Clare Abshire since she was a young girl, making several visits with her throughout her life. Clare falls in love with a man who can't control when he comes and goes. Far from being a science fiction novel, Audrey Niffenegger uses the time travel device as a way of drawing out her characters who want to overcome all obstacles in their love.

Rating : Highly Recommended


My Review : a real, time spinner... for a debut-a very good piece of work,u will never know when u got lost in time.

Other official reviews:

“A powerfully original love story. BOTTOM LINE: Amazing
trip.”
—PEOPLE

“To those who say there are no new love stories, I
heartily recommend The Time Traveler’s Wife, an enchanting
novel, which is beautifully crafted and as dazzlingly
imaginative as it is dizzyingly romantic.”
—SCOTT TUROW

"Niffenegger's beautiful prose and sure-handed way with character development lifts The Time Traveler's Wife beyond the realm of romance potboilers and into the mainstream of literature that will last."
