iPhone 4S Design

If you ever held an iPhone 4 in your hand, you will feel the same experience when holding the iPhone 4S, for the reason that it bears almost the same design. This was not a point of complaining since the same iPhone 4 look is gorgeous and admired in present days too!

iPhone 4S Operating System

The iPhone 4S is operated by iOS 5, which is the latest edition of Apple’s mobile software. In iOS 5 you get the same basic feel but with added features and aspects.

iPhone 4S Processor

The iPhone 4S features a bigger processor to the iPhone 4 in the form of the A5 chip. And it sure feels really efficient, with applications being launching instantly, navigation and speedy typing giving instant response to every single tap.

iPhone 4S Camera

The iPhone 4S equips a new 8 MP shooter which has optic tech, as well as face-detection feature, rear illumination (titter) and a new sensor. As far as image quality is concerned, we were pleased with the iPhone 4S’s camera, the captured image gave more natural feel than iPhone 4.

While, the camera of the iPhone 4S provides excellent depth of field. In addition, the 1080p video recording is also very crispy and punchy!

Reviewing the whole mobile industry from different angles, we’re not sure if the iPhone 4S helps to maintain the leadership of for another whole year or not. But we sure can say that iPhone 4S is the best smartphone to date. Click here for reviews and cheap deals.

Android 4.1 Jelly Bean coming mid-July, optimized with Project Butter

By Er.Somesh Bhardwaj

On June 27, 2012, 12:49 PM EST Breaking News

Comments

Google has unveiled the successor to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich at their annual Google I/O Conference. Android 4.1 Jelly Bean arrives just eight months after ICS was released despite the fact that a large number of Android devices still haven’t received the 4.0 update.

Engadget was on hand for the event, noting that Jelly Bean isn’t as big of a revolutionary step as moving from Gingerbread to ICS, but there are some pretty significant changes that Android users can look forward to. The most important of these is Project Butter, an initiative to improve the overall speed and performance of the mobile operating system.

Jelly Bean with Project Butter makes the entire user interface fast and fluid. The system uses triple buffering in the graphics pipeline to maintain consistent frame rates, according to The Verge. Furthermore, the CPU will ramp up to full power the instant a touch command is detected to avoid lag that typically occurs when a processor is in low power mode.

Two Galaxy Nexus handsets were compared side-by-side, one running Ice Cream Sandwich with Jelly Bean on the other. The latter offered significantly higher frame rates when cruising through the UI. This is because Jelly Bean operates at 60 frames per second system-wide.

Other new features include Offline Voice Typing which no longer requires an Internet connection and Google Now integration. Google Now can accomplish a number of tasks such as keeping you up to date with your favorite sports team, learning the route you take to work and checking on the status of traffic as well as providing information about public transit whenever you are close to a terminal. There’s also a new keyboard that uses SwiftKey-like prediction to speed up typing.

Google will make Jelly Bean available for the Motorola Xoom, Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S in mid-July. No word yet on when the OS will reach other Android handsets.

Tips For Maintaining Your Laptop

Nowadays, many people are using laptops for their school work, business or leisure. However, laptops can lose their efficiency if not well-maintained. The following are some tips which will help enhance your laptop usage.
1. Watch out for dust
To ensure your laptop remains effective for a long time, you need to protect it from dust. An accumulation of dust in your laptop could block the ventilation areas and result in overheating. It is therefore very important to keep your laptop from being exposed to dust.
2. Keep it cool
Besides dust, it is also very important to protect your laptop from excessive heat. A laptop used in a cool, dry area will work more effectively and faster than if it was exposed to heat. To protect your laptop from overheating, avoid using it on your lap, bed or cushion since this will block the vents underneath which help in cooling. The best solution for this is to use a lap tray as a base for your laptop. Alternatively, you can invest in any of the laptop coolers which are sold in most computer stores.
3. Install a firewall and antivirus software
If you don’t use any antivirus, your laptop remains vulnerable to being infected by a virus. Make sure you use proper antivirus software to protect your laptop and keep it effective for longer. You should also installa firewall so as to restrict access to your laptop. A firewall will alert you anytime an external entity tries to access your laptop. You will then have the option of either blocking or allowing access. In addition, you need to be cautious about using external hard disks and flash disks with your laptop.
4. Eliminate unused programs
At times, you might have some programs in your laptop that you don’t really need. It is advisable to uninstall them so as to create more space in your hard drive. This will enable you to install other important applications and programs. Eliminating unused programs will also improve your laptop’s performance and make it easier to locate important files.
5. Defragment hard drives
When you have many programs in your laptop, it will take time to locate your important files. It is therefore very vital to defragment your drives frequently. Defragmenting will arrange your files in a way which makes them much easier to access.
6. Clean your registry
Once in a while, registry files might get corrupted thus resulting in a drastic and sudden change in your laptop’s performance. Make sure you run your registry cleaners frequently to find out if there are any corrupt files or errors.
7. Minimize programs to run during startup
Whenever you start your laptop, it will load all the system files, as well as the programs which have been selected to run during startup. The more programs you run, the longer it takes to startup. You should therefore minimize the number of programs that will run during the booting process.
8. Delete temporary internet files
Slow browsing speeds are often as a result of poor internet connection. However, in some cases, it might be due to too many temporary internet files saved in your laptop. You should therefore take time to delete such files from your laptop.
9. Empty the recycle bin
When files are deleted from your laptop, they end up in the recycle bin. This means that they are not actually deleted from the laptop; they have just been transferred to a different location. Thus, they still take up space in your hard drive. It is therefore important to empty your recycle bin as often as possible.
10. Power surge protection
Power surge protection is as important for laptops as it is for desktop computers. Replacing a laptop power supply is very costly compared to investing in a power surge protection device. Make sure you get one so as to protect the laptop itself, as well as your laptop power supply.

How to Create an Invoice Using Your Paypal Account

                         How to Create an Invoice Using Your PayPal Account

If you have an online business and you give quotes to your customers for custom jobs then you probably use some form of an invoicing system to collect the money from the customers.

You have most probably used or are currently using PayPal in some capacity to receive payments for your products or services. PayPal is the most popular payment gateway for online merchants and consumers alike and is used by tens of millions of people to sell products from their websites.

Apart from giving you the ability to accept payments from customers via “Add to Cart” or “Buy Now” buttons on your site, PayPal also has functionality which makes it possible for you to create and send invoices directly from your PayPal account.

The invoice functionality offered by PayPal is free and is a somewhat overlooked and seemingly little known feature.

PayPal’s invoicing feature can be a very useful tool for anybody who wishes to request a payment from someone in a professional manner. This is in contrast to the simpler “Request Money” feature which is also available from your PayPal account and which allows for a basic message requesting payment to be sent to anybody with an email address.

As we’ll see in the example below, with the PayPal invoicing feature, you can tailor your invoices to look official and professional and hence add that extra touch of quality to how you request payments from your clients.

The added beauty of using PayPal’s invoices is that they not only allow people to pay you using their PayPal account, but they also make it possible for people to send money even if they don’t have an account with PayPal but they simply want to pay using their credit or debit card.
