Next iPhone might be called the iPhone 6

guest — Wed, 22 May 2013 15:50:06 +0000

The year 2013 seems to be very much promising in terms of technology. You could see a number of high end devices being discussed and will be launched this year. Among these include the newly hyped devices called the iPhone 6. You could see several rumors surfacing in the media, where people are seen discussing especially after the Time Cook (Apple chief) giving a couple of hints about the 7th generation smartphone called iPhone 6. Checking at the rumors surrounding this device, the smartphone users are likely to get a device with incredible features in the form of iPhone 6. As per Cook, the iPhone 6 would be expected to be seen in the fall of 2014. So, let’s check the insight about the upcoming iPhone 6 as under:

Rumors confirm the name iPhone 6

As per one of the leaked inventory image, the upcoming iPhone would be certainly launched in the market with a name- iPhone 6. One of the employees at Vodafone has disclosed about this upcoming device. According to him, Apple plans to bypass the iPhone 5S with some incredible upgrades and thus head out with a big leap with iPhone 6. And if you consider the perils associated with S in the Apple’s smartphone, it would be certainly worthy to embark with an iPhone 6 rather than focusing more on the S naming system. In fact, this has been confirmed by the Ken Segall, who happens to be the key ad creator for Apple. So, the next iPhone you can expect from Apple would be certainly iPhone 6.

The key features of iPhone

As per the rumors surrounding the iPhone 6, you could certainly see some amazing features in it. So talking about the screen display of this upcoming phone you could see bigger one this time. In fact, a number of analysts have confirmed the same despite Tim Cook denying this rumor. Another important feature, which you are going to find out in the upcoming iPhone 6 would be a better and advance level front and back cameras. As per the rumors, it would be enhanced to 2MP (front) wherein the rear one could see an upgrade reaching up to 13MP. As per the reports coming from iOSDoc the iPhone 6 would be armed with the latest OS from Apple- the iOS 7, which will give the users to record the complete HD videos. The other features in it would come like a dual shot wherein you can use the dual camera mode.

Advance features

As per the recent reports found in the technological world, iPhone 6 would include the RAM of 4GB thus giving tough fight to its arch rival company- Samsung. Hence if things would go this way, you can expect iPhone 6 becoming the most powerful device, which could even compete with the computers that handle loads of data. Another interesting feature that is likely to be the part of iPhone 6 would be the bendable battery. As per the rumors, Apple is all set to adopt such battery, which will make the iPhone 6 device much flexible than its predecessors.

Final word

The name debate could be called as insignificant unlike how you often hear the popular phrase from Shakespeare, ‘what’s in a name.’ So what matters at the end would be the features of iPhone 6 and not the name certainly. Yet it seems interesting for many.

Dhawal D — Thu, 16 May 2013 07:25:29 +0000

The times where Facebook did not advertise are long behind us. The current state of the social network is arguably ridiculous. The user’s timeline and newsfeed is packed with ads, game suggestions, people suggestions etc. and sponsored posts are difficult to separate from your friend’s stories. Within three easy steps, you can restore Facebook to the original, adfree environment as it once was in 2007. There are numerous, often sketchy solutions which add their own ads, on the web for removing ads on Facebook. However, there is one browser plugin that does exactly what it supposed to: Adblock Plus. This is world’s most popular browser extension, available for Chrome and Firefox. Basically, Adblock Plus will remove all ads online, therefore, also Facebook ads. It can also be manually configured to block other elements on websites, such as the game and friend requests elements.

How to remove Facebook ads

The setup process takes only a few minutes. To block all annoyances on Facebook, follow these simple steps:

Go to www.adblockplus.org
You can install Adblock Plus for your browser (please note, Internet Explorer is not supported). When the installation is finished, you are not exposed to any more ads all over the web, as well as Facebook’s sponsored ads, pages you may like, search results, pages your friends like, related posts of pages your friends like and suggested posts.
There are a few other annoyances on Facebook, can be blocked manually.

How to remove other annoyances on Facebook

You can create a few manual filters to remove other elements like: recommended pages, people you may know, games your friends are playing, upcoming concerts and trending videos. This is easily done by copy-pasting a few lines of text into Adblock Plus: For Firefox, click the “ABP” logo in the left bottom corner of your browser, and choose: “Filter preferences…” > “Custom filters” > “Add a filter group” > Right-click it and choose “Show/Hide Filters”, and then go to “Add filter” on the right. For Chrome and Opera, right-click the ABP logo in the address bar, and click “Options” > “Add your own filters”. This will open a new text area, where you can paste the following filters to block additional Facebook elements:

To block “People you may know”, “Games you may like”, “Games your friends are playing” and “Recommended pages”, paste the following code in the text area: facebook.com##.egoOrganicColumn
To remove “Trending videos”, “Most Shared”, “Upcoming Concerts” or “Games Your Friends Are Playing” from your news feed, paste this: facebook.com##.uiStreamAttachments ._4hh
To remove “Recently Released Albums”, use the following code: facebook.com##.uiStreamAttachments ._4hl
To block “Page X is posting about Page Y” use this filter: facebook.com##.storyContent > .storyUnconnectedPost

With the instructions described above, you will be able to block all the sponsored content on Facebook, as well as some additional elements that harm your experience

Review: Wrappz.in customised Hard case for iPhone 5

Dhawal D — Sat, 04 May 2013 16:45:35 +0000

Smartphones are getting expensive by the day, today's smartphones can do more than things than you expected a phone to do, but with the price tag they carry they need protection at the maximum level. The screen is fragile, scratch-prone and easily breakable. Very few of us do not want to invest in a protective Case and a scratch-guard, but don't you think, almost everyone has the same case on a smartphone as your? Agreedpas that there are crazy number of varieties available in the market but then somewhere or the other you are not satisfied with the fact that, there are 1000 other people using the same case elsewhere. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we get to personalise our phone cases like we do to our phone with wallpapers, ringtones and more? Now there is a way, Wrappz.in has a wonderful web interface to get yourself a personalised hard case for your Smartphones. It's pretty simple to use the website and create yourself a customised case for your Smartphone.

You can design your Case in 2 Steps:

1. Choose your Smartphone

2. Choose a pre-loaded image or upload your own images you would want on your Case and Voila!

Result:

Wrappz.in send across this amazing Custom designed case for the iPhone 5 with the logos we added to the design interface on their website. Let's go ahead and review the End product that we received.

First Look: Wrappz.in customised Hard case for iPhone 5

We received the case at our offices in an envelope, when opened the Case was covered in Bubble wrap. There are no instructions or other details what-so-ever that come along with the case, probably because all the details are already available on the website. A white case from the inside and there you see the design that you have selected, the case is manufactured from high grade hard polymer used on the space shuttle and it has no branding at all, which is great. The built of the case looks great, it made us wonder, how long will the case last, because it's glossy and scratch-prone, but after using it for a good 15+ days without any visible scratches, we are satisfied. The print quality is premium, but, we had also send hi-resolution logo to be printed on the case.

Feel and Usage: Wrappz.in customised Hard case for iPhone 5

The iPhone 5 that the case was put on previously used the Incipio Feather Matte Black iPhone 5 case which was almost perfect, it protected the phone well and did not add bulk to the phone, but this did exactly the same. If you think that the print might wear off, we don't see that happening for the good enough usage period. There are rarely any scratches on the case, provided, it being glossy, but chances are the phone with this case might slip off your hand, hasn't happened to us as yet, but it tends to get too greasy with the sweat. The cut out don't create any problems and you can still across the buttons on the iPhone pretty decently. Pros: - Access to all ports and buttons without any troubles -Create your own designs - One of a kind case for yourself - Unique Cons: - Apple logo is hidden under the case - Not much drop or impact protection since it’s thin and light - Print may wear off - Tends to be slippery at times If you're looking to have a one-of-a-kind case in the whole wild world, we would recommend check Wrappz.in out. The quality is superior. Wrappz.in Custom cases have been specially designed utilising temperature resistant polymers to work in tandem with our unique 3D sublimation process. Wrappz.in cases are not only visually stunning but are also highly practical and provide robust phone protection.

Our Rating: Wrappz.in customised Hard case for iPhone 5: 4/5

International Labour Day Google Doodle 2013

Dhawal D — Wed, 01 May 2013 07:33:21 +0000

Labour Day is an annual Holiday that celebrated the achievements of workers across the globe. If you think it's a Doodle for Maharashtra day or Gujarat day in India, you're wrong. Labour Day is not celebrated on the 1st of May everywhere, for eg. in the US/Canada it's the first Monday of September. Labour Day traces its roots back to the labour union movement, specifically the eight-hour day movement, which advocated eight hours for work, eight hours for recreation, and eight hours for rest. The doodle on the homepage shows Google's logo in the shape of building blocks with several professionals busy in their respective jobs. The doodle features an IT professional working on her computer; a gardener watering a tree; a painter putting the finishing touches on the letter 'O'; and a plumber fixing a leak in the letter 'E'. A helicopter hovering over the second 'G' and a satellite dish set up on the letter 'E' are the other features on the doodle. Labour Day has its origins in the labour unionism that led to the eight hour day movement. The movement led to eight-hour day work rules, eight hours for recreation and eight hours for rest.
