Doctor Strange review- Nice effects, nutting else.

Lucas's ILM has gone above and beyond for this film. Effects are
staggering and seamless. Well worthy of an Oscar and then some.

Movie itself is a mash-up of far superior films such as Star Wars (old
master takes in student under his wing teaches him ways of the Fo.. er
whatever and dies etc), The Matrix, Inception, and almost every
superhero movie made upto now.

Characters and acting are sub-par and forgettable with Zero emotional
resonance.

Did I say nice effects? However some of the scene changing work can get
confusing and tedious as well as nauseous.

Given the choice between this and Driving Miss Daisy I would've picked
the latter on hindsight. Just go for the effects but take a bucket with
you.

Funny Siri Moments!

So I woke up early in the morning today- lights out and dark outside. I had Always On Siri enabled and the phone nearby. I called out to Siri- "Hey Siri whats the time?". Phone comes alive and Siri says "Its 5AM. You woke me up, Mahesh!". I burst out laughing. One of the funniest thing I've ever heard her say. What a way to start the morning.

Love Siri. Love Apple. Love my iPhone.

Sherlock is getting worse by the day!

Just finished watching The Final Problem and was thinking what a load of crap it all was.

First 2 seasons of Sherlock was decent then it started going all wrong- stuff like Watson's wife being an international assassin and now Sherlock has a sister who is a big time loon- felt combination of Batman and Saw).

Hope this gets back to actual crime solving and dumps this stupidity. Fast. I am getting sick of this.

How to minimize radiation exposure when using mobile phones!

Radiation exposure from mobile devices even though not of the ionizing nature can still lead possibly to cancer in the long term. So why risk it?

Here are some ways you can drastically reduce your exposure while still benefiting from their use.

1) When making calls try to use the speaker phone or handsfree options as much as possible.

2) When carrying it in your pocket try and keep a thick wallet between the phone and your skin. Even millimeters can make a huge reduction when it comes to RF radiation exposure.

3) When you reach your destination or are travelling by car take the phone out of you pocket and keep it on the dashboard or on a table.

4) Use an anti-radiation case for your phone. Even though some devices maybe snake-oil there are actually some effective cases out there and you can find them with a bit of Googling.

5) Use of the phone when the signal is weak means much more radiation exposure. So always try and get to a place with at least 4 bars of signal strength.

6) When playing games or watching movies and listening to music that does not require a cellular connection try as much as possible to switch phone to airplane mode. Airplane mode shuts off the cellular connection and drops radiation to zero.

7) Choose a phone that has a low radiation output, specified by their SAR rating. Googling for smartphones with lowest SAR rating will help you find the best device with the least RF output.
