By 'sex in the foot' headline, i meant this :P --> Currently watching the live commentaries on http://espn.go.com/ . Both my teams France and Spain are playing against each other for the quarter final. although ive been rooting for both teams, i am still nervous for the result. Watching the live tweets on Twitter isn't helping either. At this point of time, Spain is currently leading with Xabi Alonso's header! :0 This Euro 2012 Quarterfinal is playing with my hormones. *cross fingers and toes*

Samsung packed a long laundry list of features into its new flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S III. Some of those features are obvious, and others you’ll probably hear about if you pay attention to the commercials. Others may not be worthy of a ton of fanfare, but they’re cool tricks worth trying out nonetheless. Read on to learn what clever secret features you can unlock in that shiny new Samsung Galaxy S III.
Ever been in the middle of reading a web page or book and had the display go dim or dark because it’s set to turn off after a few seconds of inactivity? The usual solution is to either keep poking the screen for no reason to keep it active or to set the screen timeout longer.
The Pop Up Video feature allows users to watch a video (from the stock player) while doing stuff in other apps. It’s the ultimate in multitasking. To activate, go to the Video Player, choose your vid, then tap the icon on the lower right. The video will appear in a small box on the screen. You can move it to the best location on the screen by tapping, holding, then dragging it. To go back to the Video Player, just tap it.

Top 5 Hidden Galaxy S III Features You Don’t Want to Miss
Samsung packed a long laundry list of features into its new flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S III. Some of those features are obvious, and others you’ll probably hear about if you pay attention to the commercials. Others may not be worthy of a ton of fanfare, but they’re cool tricks worth trying out nonetheless. Read on to learn what clever secret features you can unlock in that shiny new Samsung Galaxy S III.
1. Use the home button to answer calls
This feature isn’t on by default, but is easy to activate. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Call Answering/ending. On this screen you can choose to answer calls with the Home key and end them using the power key.
2. Go from texting to talking without tapping
The Direct Call features allow you to initiate a call with someone you’re texting by just holding the phone up to your ear while you’re in a text message screen. This is for those times when you’re in the middle of a long texting session and realize that a call would be faster (crazy, I know, but it happens). When you hold the phone to your ear it will vibrate once when it starts calling, no extra tapping required.
3. Smart Stay keeps your screen off
Ever been in the middle of reading a web page or book and had the display go dim or dark because it’s set to turn off after a few seconds of inactivity? The usual solution is to either keep poking the screen for no reason to keep it active or to set the screen timeout longer.
Smart Stay makes it so the screen will never turn off when you’re looking at it, so you don’t have to go messing with the settings all the time. This utility uses the phone’s front-facing camera to determine whether you’re looking at it.
To enable, go to Settings > Display and click the checkbox next to Smart Stay.
4. Take screen shots with a swipe
Ever want to share what’s on your screen with another person or perhaps submit things to Damn You, Autocorrect? Now it’s easy. Simply swipe the edge of your hand across the screen from left to right to take a screen shot. You’ll hear a satisfying shutter sound and the image will save to your Gallery.
5. Multitask while watching a video
The Pop Up Video feature allows users to watch a video (from the stock player) while doing stuff in other apps. It’s the ultimate in multitasking. To activate, go to the Video Player, choose your vid, then tap the icon on the lower right. The video will appear in a small box on the screen. You can move it to the best location on the screen by tapping, holding, then dragging it. To go back to the Video Player, just tap it.
