Tilted Photo upload on FB Fix

Hello, anyone whosoever  is reading this, I am writing this one after a very long time. I find it quiet useful and thought that it may help someone. 

Recently, I was facing a lil' difficulty on fb while posting some pics because, in my computer they were fine but; when I uploaded them, they were tilted to left/right. However, facebook has provided its users a feature to rotate their photos after uploading, but I was curious to know the reason behind it and it was simple. Basically, the pics uploaded to fb are uploaded along with their attributes and there lies the solution to this problem. All you need to do is:
 
-Right Click on the photo that you want to upload.
-Click on 'Properties'.
-Select 'Details' tab.
-Scroll down and you will see an option, 'Exposure Program'
-Click on this option and select 'Normal' from the drop down list
-Click Apply and Ok.

Problem Solved !



P.S.- I have tried this only on Windows platform.

Import multiple contacts to iphone in 1 Go !

I had a Nokia C6-01 and had to import the contacts to my Iphone 4S. This is how I did it
1. Open Nokia Suite and Click on Contacts
2. Select all contacts. Click on File -> Import Contacts .Specify the folder that you are creating . For ex: C:\vcards.
Now you have multiple .vcf files in this folder.
To combine the multiple .vcf into a single .vcf

a . Open command line interface (click Start -> Run, or windows button + r and type cmd to launch it).
b. Navigate to the folder where multiple vCard files are by entering cd "C:\vcards", if the folder is there.
c. Enter the following command in the command prompt:

   copy /a *.vcf combinedfile.vcf 

3. Now add this file(combinedfile.vcf) as an attachment and mail it to your email address. Open the email on your iphone and click on the attachment.
4. It will prompt you to add the contacts. Now you have all the contacts on your Iphone.

NOTE:
-You need to have all your contacts(probably in .VCF format) together imported in some folder, for e.g. I created a folder vcards in the C directory and copied all my contacts from my old phone into that folder.
