Whether you’re an iPhone rookie or a weathered pro, take a look at these quick-and-easy iPhone tips and tricks which not only save you time, but ease your overall iPhone experience.

(These items are listed in no particular order.)

1. Scroll to Top of Page -

In any application, Safari included, you can automatically scroll to the top of the page by tapping on the “top bar”, which has the time, service bars, and battery. In Safari, this not only brings you to the top of the page, but also brings up the URL bar.

2.  Domain Resolution -

When typing a URL in Safari, you don’t have to type the “www” or the “.com”.For instance, for www.cnn.com just type “cnn” in the URL box. Note: Your search engine must be set to Google, not Yahoo.

3.   Domain Suffix – [On firmware 2.0 only]

Hold down the “.com” key for “.net, .edu, .org” keys. Note: Slide your finger from .com to .net/.edu/.org, rather than lifting and pressing.

4.   Press & Hold For Alternate Characters –

Hold a letter for a popup of various versions of the character (i.e. to type España with the “ñ” simply hold “n” and simply slide/release to the appropriate character).

5.   Click & Hold URL’s –

In Safari, hold a link to see the URL and site name.

6.   Soft Reset –

Press and hold the Home button and the Sleep button to restart your iPhone. A white light will flash, the screen will shut off and then turn back on. Keep holding until the screen turns back on.

7.   Take a Screenshot –

To take a screenshot, hold the home button and click the sleep button. The screen will flash white and the screenshot will be stored in your camera roll.

8.   Set Parental Controls –

You can enable certain restrictions or parental controls on your iPhone. You can block explicit lyrics, Safari, YouTube, iTunes, or the App Store. Just go to Settings, General, Restrictions.

9.   Save Any Image from Safari –

To save any image from the web to your camera roll, simply press and hold the image. A menu will appear asking “Save Image” or “Cancel”. Once the image is in your camera roll, you can set it as your wallpaper.

10.  Fast Forward/Rewind Music & Video –

Press and hold the skip forward/back arrows to fast forward or rewind rather than skip tracks. Also, press on the album art to manually FF/rewind.

11.   Delete Emails –

You can do both “bulk deletes” and “individual deletes” when browsing email. To do a bulk delete, simply click Edit, check off the desired emails, and then choose delete or move. To delete a single email, simply “cross it out” by swiping your finger across the email, then press delete.

12.  Double Tap Home Button –

Double tapping the home button has several useful functions, which are described here.

Although some of these tricks seem elementary to some iPhone users, I’m willing to bet there’s atleast one item on this list you weren’t aware of. And if that’s not the case, then congratulations iPhone Pro – you have graduated from iPhone 101.

Enjoy the more productive and enhanced iPhone experience these tricks will provide you!

Yesterday, my friend ask me where to find a replacement unit for Acer Travelmate 3260 19V AC Adapter. After Googleing and searching at Lowyat Forum, i found several company who supply all these laptop spareparts. You can easily buy all these laptop spareparts such as AC adapter, charger, system board, keybord, lcd screen at Lowyat Plaza or online order via Lowyat Forum, Lelong or eBay.

But remember, please ask them for a original AC adapter, OEM unit or replacement unit for your laptop and not asking for Universal Traveller Charger. This original AC adapter will cost you around RM 130-RM150 including shipping to all around Malaysia. The universal traveller charger unit more cheaper but I do not recommend you to buy that type because it easily broken.

So, you can contact 016-606 6520 or 016-338 7862 and ask them for the replacement unit. You also may visit www.laptopspareparts.lelong.com.my to check out all these stuff.

A key draw of the iPod as a portable video player (PVP) is the fact that its complementing software, iTunes, offers a cheap, easy, and legal way to get content that will play on the device. But what if you already own the video files you’d like to watch, but they’re in any variety of formats that aren’t natively supported by the iPod? iTunes has a built-in converter, but then you’d be limited to the file types that QuickTime supports. If you want the capability to convert from the full gamut of video file types, check out the tip below.

Since I sold my last business in 2004 I have been trying hard to make a living online. Most of my neighbors knew what my last business was as it was very obvious from the garage full of soda, water, snacks and vending machines. When I say garage full I am talking about maybe 1000 to 1500 cases at least. Yes, I was a vendor and I did this for about 8 years. 8 years of people complaining about out of date soda, warm candy bars and dimes stuck in the machines. 8 years of 40 foot Pepsi and Coke trucks coming up to my driveway and unloading materials. 8 years of counting coins and dollar bills every day. Had it not been for the recession, 9-11 and the dotcom bust I would probably have grown to where I hired a few workers and I would still be doing it.

However things did slow down and besides, I was looking for something with less headaches and had more of an upside.

Beware of Internet Consultants, as many of them have never been able to promote anything of their own, yet are in a haste to charge you for their experience and marketing savvy. Many have never made any money on this Internet, sold anything or consulted with any successful online sales companies. In fact most often these folks hold themselves out to be experts and consultants yet have no real experience at all. The Former President and Founder of Wendy’s Hamburger, Dave Thomas, when listening to those trying to give him advice would often ask, how much money do you have? Often finding that those wishing to give him advice had little if any money, he would think to himself; “why should I listen to you?” Indeed this is a good question.

The online world is constantly evolving. You may be thinking about outsourcing your Web promotion to an expert who is immersed in this world as their fulltime occupation, rather than trying to acquire this knowledge yourself, and cope with the pace of change in-house.

So, what should you look for in a consultant, and what guarantees can you expect?

Choosing The Consultant

The consultant should ask a lot of questions about your business and your objectives. They need to be very clear about the specific goals of your site. Do you want as many visitors as possible (as in: “We get millions of hits on our Web site”), or are you more interested in attracting qualified leads? Are you selling products? Are you looking for new customers, sign-ups for your newsletter or events, media coverage, etc.
