What do you think whenever people compare you with your more successful brother or sister? Not nice right? No one would like it. Therefore in this comparison video, it is not a fair fight. However it is good to know that if you prefer to get Samsung Galaxy S 2 now because it is much cheaper now.
To save some of your time (even though I tag this as waste time post :P), here is a jump list [my comment in the square bracket]:
1:00 - start screen of Samsung Galaxy S 3 vs Samsung Galaxy S 2
2:08 - hardware comparison of Samsung Galaxy S 3 vs Samsung Galaxy S 2 [check gsmarena for better comparison!]
3:40 - comparison of opening day-to-day apps on Samsung Galaxy S 3 vs Samsung Galaxy S 2
4:40 - comparison of browser speed for Samsung Galaxy S 3 vs Samsung Galaxy S 2 [once again, he forgot to scroll up and down during loading! okay, he remembered at later part][Samsung Galaxy S 2 is comparable to Samsung Galaxy S 3, not bad!]
7:35 - benchmarking apps [skip this for non-geek, not a fair fight anyway]
11:00 - grand theft auto III comparison of Samsung Galaxy S 3 vs Samsung Galaxy S 2 [yawn]
15:00 - youtube video comparison of Samsung Galaxy S 3 vs Samsung Galaxy S 2
15:50 - speedtest.net comparison of Samsung Galaxy S 3 vs Samsung Galaxy S 2
For day-to-day apps usage, there is not much different between Samsung Galaxy S 3 and Samsung Galaxy S 2. If you are not any hardcore multi-tasking smartphone user, Samsung Galaxy S 2 might be a best deal for you now. Samsung Galaxy S 2 is selling at RM1550 (bargain) to RM1699 (Samsung official) [~US$487 to ~US$525] at the moment. This is without any data/call plan from telco provider.

Samsung Galaxy S 3 vs HTC One X
I wonder what is Mr Miniman doing in pocketnow.com? Where is he? Almost all the phone review and phone comparison are worked by his associates nowadays and boy, not to criticize their accent, but I can't help to notice it whenever I watch the video from pocketnow.com. Please listen to BBC radio more often and try to reduce your accept, pretty please? :P
Anyway, pocketnow has put up head-to-head comparison video of Samsung Galaxy S 3 vs HTC One X (warning: accent is heavy :P):
To save some of your time (even though I tag this as waste time post :P), here is a jump list [my comment in the square bracket]:
0:53 - the start screen of Samsung Galaxy S 3 vs HTC One X [HTC One X with fast boot, so HTC One X is the winner here]
1:30 - spec comparison of Samsung Galaxy S 3 vs HTC One X [go to gsmarena for better comparison]
3:25 - comparison of opening day-to-day apps on Samsung Galaxy S 3 vs HTC One X [boring]
5:10 - running benchmarking apps for Samsung Galaxy S 3 vs HTC One X [these are for geeks only]
8:07 - browser comparison of Samsung Galaxy S 3 vs HTC One X [he forgot to scroll up and down during loading! that's how we use the phone]
11:00 - grand theft auto III comparison of Samsung Galaxy S 3 vs HTC One X [skip skip skip]
13:45 - screen comparison of Samsung Galaxy S 3 vs HTC One X [I like color on Samsung Galaxy S 3 better, but it is up to personal preference]
16:39 - video camera quality comparison of Samsung Galaxy S 3 vs HTC One X [Samsung Galaxy S 3 color is better!]
In summary, it is up to personal preference to pick which one the winner. HTC supporters sure will pick HTC One X and Samsung hardcore will pick Samsung Galaxy S 3. For me, I will go to mid-range phone because that is where I think the money worth for. :P

Make Your Own Portable Software
Portable software or portable apps is always my favorite. At anytime I have more than 100 portable apps on my PC. The best thing about portable apps are there is no installation needed, just download, unzip and you are ready to use it. Portable apps also will not mess with your file system, unless you allow it to do it. Unlike installed software for example real player is the most stubborn software that likes to take over system setting without user's consensus.
Since USB thumb drive is relatively cheap nowadays, it is very convenient to put all the apps into a thumb drive and run on any PC or laptop that you wanted to.
With so much of the advantages of portable apps, why not make some of your own? For those paid software, I would think as long you don't distributed it, use it on your own, it should not be fine because you already pay for it.
Cameyo is the software that I am talking about.

They even made a step-by-step instruction, therefore I am just going to skip this part.

Shake to Charge Smartphone?
As we know that there are some watches that being charge by shaking it. HTC has came out the idea to let smartphone users to charge their smartphone by shaking it. I am not sure how fast or how many times you have to shake it to recharge for every 10%, but this might be a good start. :P

Unlock locked files
Have you bump into a problem when trying to do some house keeping on your PC/laptop harddisk, but there is a warning message said that there is a process is using the file, or the file is locked because blah blah blah? For advanced users, you might able to figure it out how to fix this. But how about the rest of 90% of us?
Fear not, LockHunter can help us.
pix credit: http://lockhunter.com/
LockHunter has to be install, not suitable to be portable because it need to integrate with the system. There should be a way to do this with portable version, but that is beyond the scope for this post.
When you want to move or delete a file and the system flag an error, then just right-click on the file and click on "What is locking this file?". LockHunter will then report the problem.
There are a few options with the locked file:
By default, LockHunter will delete any file into recycle bins, therefore it is much safer so that you can retrieve it from recycle bins in case you mistakenly deleted a file/apps/exe.
Supports Windows only (Win2k to Win7), available for 32 and 64 bits. Still in beta stage, so it might be buggy. And it is free!
To download this useful apps, go to here:
