Samsung Galaxy S2

So that finally happened. I got new Samsung Galaxy S II.

The Galaxy feels not complete without a good case.

The best case so far is Case-Mate Tough that I got from MyLaptop.co.il home held store in Ra'anana for 189 NIS with free Momax screen protector PSPCSAI9100 (made in Japan) that by itself worth 40 NIS.

Now, some useful information.

What an idiot did this email split? Why the user (me) need to press extra buttons to jump to the next field in email address? Did you heard about "autocomplete"?

Pace notes explained

Playing recently in Colin McRae: Dirt 2 and Dirt 3 I was curios about co-pilot commands.

After a small research I found that this is what called Pacenotes. It's coded language for drivers and their co-pilots for describing a route in extreme details. It can look like hieroglyphics "MC1 100 KL2 100 KR2 200 SQL" but it is a lot of information coded here.

Simple calls:
Easy left/right: An easy, usually flat out corner.
Medium left/right: A tighter corner, a tap of the brake usually needed.
Hard left/right: A tight corner with a lot of brake needed.
Hairpin left/right: A very tight corner that turns in on itself, often turning 180 to go back alongside the road you entered the corner on. For these its best to brake hard before tapping the hand brake to slide to the exit.
90 left/right: A tight, right angled corner

Technical calls:
1 left/right: A very tight corner, almost a hairpin.
6 left/right: A very easy, almost imperceptible corner.
Hairpin is the same.

For turns naming, there is colored map
