Redirect or Point your Google App Engine to your naked domain

Before I found this straight-forward solution, I had been trouble-shooting my Google App Engine for 3 weeks because I cannot point my application site to my naked domain ( http://vargas.im ). You have a naked domain problem when your website cannot work without a www in front. So if you have mydomain.com as your domain, it can only be opened only by entering www.mydomain.com . When someone enters only mydomain.com (notice the missing www in front) the error is shown. Although there are a lot of articles on the web on how to fix this, these guides are not applicable for Google Apps anymore.  Google has restricted this feature and the only way to do it was to put an A record in your DNS settings, which needs an IP address and not an alias.

Just a proof that I'm not bluffing, here is my Galaxy S II phone's screenshot: I did not charge it for as long as 2 days and 15 hours. Now here are the steps on how I did it. 1.

My phone came with pre-installed Weather Apps and some apps that were installed by my Telco.  I disabled all of them by going to Settings > Applications screen. If you're not sure if it's safe to disable the application, you can ask me by sending your comments. Here are some screenshots of the applications that I disabled.  I have disabled Social Hub because I don't need it.  I also disabled...

I just attended a Microsoft seminar held at NTUC Centre at Marina Bay. They talked about the new Visual Studio 2012 and a bit of Windows 8. Visual Studio 2012 is not just an IDE. It’s an integrated tool that helps you throughout the Application Lifecycle. You can even create storyboard! One of the most interesting things about this product is the Code Analysis, Unit Testing and Load Testing feature. Take a look of their very cool presentation slide.
