They were all inter-related. They had to be simultaneous.

@Aayush,no clue man!
As I read somewhere,changing the freqeuncy of TC to 2.4Ghz cases some drop in speed but who cares?We have only 512K and 1M connections (Indian ISPs
).There would be no change in speed so I suggest you to try and change the frequency.As the speed decreases(not on our connections),it might degrade from n to g or something.Not sure about this though.

If the speed goes to 'g', then we have a problem. You don't want Time Machine to be backing up at 'g' speeds if you have the 802.11n option.
Of course, I'll only be able to figure out what to do once I have both my Macs in the house. The problem is that one of them does 'g' while the other is capable of 'n', so I have to keep the Time Capsule in hybrid mode. If I could have switched to a 100% 802.11n network, I'm sure there would've been no issues.

My iMac has 802.11n.So does the TC.Heyyyyy!You solved my problem!!I didn't even try wifi on my iMac as my 802.11g iPhone wasn't getting WiFi on the first floor!
BTW how to switch n to g and change TC frequencies?

How does the dockulicious application work. It tells me to drag the zip folder and I did but did not work!

How does the app work, I downloaded some themes but it didn't work! Anyways, I just realized the iPhone 3G was out this morning. But I didn't plan to shove my head into it...

Dockulicious app is a very buggy one. Pointless using it. Best way is to install the dock yourself. Open almost any theme zip and you will find a readme file with a path in there. Navigate to that path in Finder, delete the relevant files from that folder, and copy the new files in. You will need admin/pass each time you attempt to change it.
(Files in question are usually the l_curve, s_curve, s_indicator, separator. Just delete the files you are going to replace, that's all.)
Once that is done, enter "killall Dock" into the terminal.
And I realise I've written a really crappy guide. But I'm in the middle of my sleep and should be excused. Also, be sure you keep a backup copy of your Dock somewhere.
@dinesh: In the Safari 4 DMG, there is an uninstaller. Use that to downgrade.

Or, use Candybar 3 to change your dock.

There is an option in most of the Wireless routers to change it to the required mode. There must be some option in TC too.

Mobile Me is very slow! It's taking ages while loading pages & shows that crappy loading page.
Also I didn't quite like the interface as my expectations from Apple are high in UI front. The login screen looks cool though.

To review MobileMe so early won't do a justice. But heres what I've observed in a day with MobileMe.
I am really confused about this push email thing. Either I have a wrong understanding of push email or may be Apple guys have a new idea of push email. In Safari 3.1.2, on one tab I have gmail ( a non-push emil ) that fetches email as and when it is sent and on the other tab I have MobileMe, which is kind of sloppy in fetching a new mail. Yesterday was a horrible day with MobileMe, but today seems to be a different story. Gmail fetches new email faster than MobileMe. For now among these 2 AJAX based technologies, I rate gmail higher for one, its fetching non-push email faster, its free and above all, the google guys didn't boast of a cloud of 6GB that is ever expanding at a rate of 3MB+ daily.
Web interface of MobileMe is very intutive, looks and feels better than that of gmail. iDisk from Finder takes forever for copying a small image from my disk, very uncool.After upgrading to MobileMe 1.1, System Pref still shows this :

All said and done, in a weeks time or in a couple of days time, I am sure MobileMe is gonna work as smooth a knife on butter But please don't say 'GoobBye Gmail'

^^^ Oh boy, I cannot even imagine to compare Hotmail with MobileMe. Hotmail Sucks handsdown!! I have used hotmail from those days when we had couple of Mbs for mail storage, but gmail brought about a revolution in the email bussiness. Try MobileMe for 60 days, or Upgrade to Gmail, with Hotmail you are going no where....

^^^ I guess IMAP4 supports push email, but I have no idea if gmail has IMAP4, it does have IMAP though.
My latest understanding of push email is that it is for mobile devices, so I guess push email is for iPhone and iPod Touch. Push contacts and push calender for a combo of Mac-iPhone/iPod Touch. So for those only Mac or only PC, MobileMe is as good as Gmail. This is what I have understood as of now. I am may be wrong, in that case please correct me...
Summary:
if you have Mac and iPhone/iPod Touch you get everything
if you have PC and iPhone/iPod Touch you get push email
if you have only PC or only Mac your MobileMe is as good as Gmail
I hope someone says I am wrong....

Wait,
IMAP4 does Push, yes.
It seems Mr. Bond has got the concept of IMAP/Push all wrong.
POP and IMAP are protocols, that interact with the mail server and fetch emails. I assume everyone knows the difference between POP and IMAP.
IMAP is preferred to be used on remote devices which interact with the server. Web interfaces are different.
MobileMe allows Push to be enabled for the iPhone / iPod Touch / Mail.app / OutLook X. And this is what is recommended. If you're on some other machine, use the Web Interface.
Ofcourse, if you are addicted to the Web UI, then it's a different story.

Not really. I just wanted to clear out the Mail.app and Outlook can be used to enjoy Push Email too, unlike what you said if you're only using a Mac or PC

Preshit didn't explain it properly. Push email has got nothing to do with the web interface. It does not mean that it will fetch your emails faster or anything.
Push is for those who're using a desktop client on the computer or on a mobile device. Traditional pull technology requires the client to keep polling the email server at regular intervals to check for new messages. This means that you get your emails at those intervals, not as soon as they arrive. Also, on mobile devices, it has a negative impact on battery life.
When an email server is capable of pushing your messages, however, the email client does not need to poll the server. The server sends the messages to the device as soon as they arrive.
Gmail does not do push email.
And iMav is correct, MobileMe is unbelievably slow, at least right now.
