It’s official. Consumer Reports’ engineers have just completed testing the iPhone 4, and have confirmed that there is a problem with its reception. When your finger or hand touches a spot on the phone’s lower left side—an easy thing, especially for lefties—the signal can significantly degrade enough to cause you to lose your connection altogether if you’re in an area with a weak signal. Due to this problem, they can’t recommend the iPhone 4. Watch this video.

Do you have AdSense Account? Have you clicked on your own AdSense ad accidentally? Calm down and don’t Panic.

There can be many instances when we click on our own adsense ads by mistake or for fun and then we realize that we did a mistake. If it was just one or two clicks, then don’t worry about it. Although google requires it’s publishers to report any accidental clicks or invalid activity on their account but that don’t count for every once in a while accidental click. Their system is already checking for any invalid clicks or activity on your adsense account and chances are that they will remove those clicks from your total at the end of the month / payment period. So don’t worry if these clicks still show in your earnings on AdSense.

From AdSense Blog:

• As most of you know, our program policies state that publishers are not permitted to click on their own ads for any reason. For this reason, we’ve received many emails from publishers letting us know that they’ve accidentally clicked on their own ads. If you’re one of these publishers, we truly appreciate the efforts you’ve made to monitor your account and keep it in good standing. However, we do understand that an accidental click may occur from time to time, so there’s no need to contact us each instance this occurs.
• Because we closely monitor all account activity using engineering systems and thorough human analysis, chances are we’ve already detected your clicks on your ads and discounted them. While these clicks still show in your reports, we filter out their associated earnings so that advertisers aren’t charged. However, please keep in mind that we don’t ignore the clicks completely; if it appears to us that a publisher has been clicking on his own ads to inflate his earnings or an advertiser’s costs, we may disable the account to protect our advertisers’ interests.  Continue..

So if these fraud clicks were extensive activity from yourself or some one else, please report it to Adsense, before they block your account.

I got contacted by Daniel Offer about Chit Chat Client for Facebook for featuring on my blog. He is an owner of it. I’m using it since last 2 days and simply like that.

If Facebook were to develop their own desktop instant messenger, chances are, it would look something like Chit Chat for Facebook. Chit Chat boasts a clean and easy to use buddy list, instant message notifications, status alerts and a tabbed message window. In my opinion, it’s a better way to use Facebook Chat.

Benefits of Chit Chat for Facebook:

• Fun and Free – Convenient and fun way to chat with your Facebook contacts without the hassle of surfing Facebook
• Free Your Web-Browser – No need to keep your web browser logged into Facebook
• Easy To Use – Download, install and then login with your Facebook username and password – easy!
• Popular? – Swift and fast tabbed chat Interface making it easy to talk to many friends at once
• Instant Message Notification – Lets you know when you receive an instant message.

However, what I particularly like about Chit Chat is how easy it makes it for me to format my own instant messages and add emoticons. Much easier than in web based Facebook Chat. But that’s just me; I’m a huge fan of emoticons!

Chit Chat Tabbed Instant Message Window is good. Those of you that like for your instant messages to be saved for future reference will love the Chat History feature.
