Samsung Rips Off Apple's Mac Mini Design

Fri, 01 Jun 2012 06:35:40 +0000

Dustin Curtis points us to another case of Samsung ripping off Apple's design.

Samsung's new Chromebox (which runs Google's ChromeOS) has a familiar form factor. But all small computers are built with circular openings in the bottom, right? It's a natural method of construction. How else would you build such a thing?

Check out the images below and let us know what you think. Did Samsung copy Apple here?

AskToSend 1.2-5

Fri, 01 Jun 2012 03:17:54 +0000

Ask before sending an SMS or Mail message. No more accidentally sent incomplete messages! Very likely this happened to you at least once. This tweak helps you avoiding that. If you tap the 'Send' button in Messages or Mail, it will display a confirmation dialog asking you if you really want to send the message. For Mail, it also has an option to remind you if you didn't type in a subject.

This tweak directly integrates into Messages and Mail, and is configurable via Preferences.

Note to iOS 5 users: The default MobileMail.app now has a check for an empty subject. If you install AskToSend, this message will be replaced by the AskToSend (customizable!) missing subject message. However the check for missing subject is _not_ enabled by default, so make sure to check out Preferences.app -> AskToSend.

Note to iRealSMS users: iRealSMS has its own option for sending confirmation, so use that instead. The AskToSend Mail confirmation feature is still working apart from that

Changelog
- iOS 5.1.x compatibility
- iMessage support with separately configurable confirmation dialog
- fixed crash in preferences

Attributes of Electronic Cameras

Thu, 31 May 2012 22:54:30 +0000

Inside the dilemma the best way to decide on the digital camera turned on and also the preference of maker. You will discover 5 important companies of photographic products: Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Olympus, . This really is adopted by Fuji, Panasonic, Casio, Samsung, Sigma. Considerably less may be located Kodak, Leica (very good but high-priced), Ricoh, Rekam usually Ergo and UFO (inexpensive, but we don't advocate to rely on).Every single producer is thriving and unsuccessful types, so certainly state that the ideal - is usually to begin yet another war. Just before purchasing it's appealing to choose several alternatives and examining exams and assessments about them on line. It truly is with excellent diploma of self-assurance will allow you to make the proper option.The bodily dimension from the matrix.Go through the specs and obtain that digital camera wherein the matrix is bigger. This can help you minimize sound in pics.The volume of megapixels (enlargement).Any modern day digicam has the quantity of megapixels, which happens to be satisfactory to print the picture dimension 20x30 cm, and sometimes far more. Go after their variety shouldn't be. Using the growing growth from the matrix boosts the digital camera sound - on modest matrix is manifested significantly strongly.Sensitivity ISO.The fundamental essence - the greater the doable worth of ISO, people with much less gentle you may shoot. But be well prepared that when capturing at the hours of darkness within the photograph might be some sound, which boosts with scaled-down measurement compared to the matrix and better ISO.

Not surprisingly, this dependence isn't immediate and really conditional - technical development performs miracles, and each new product is marginally improved compared to the earlier a single.Brightness lens.Opt for a digital camera which has a most aperture, for SLR cameras is used to lenses which can be acquired individually. This doesn't assure its optical good quality (would not use to variable optics), but far more most likely the standard of labor in a very broader aperture vary. The worth is penned throughout the lens aperture and appears such as this: "2.8-5.6". These quantities necessarily mean to the edges from the aperture zoom variety. What these are smaller sized, the higher.Multiplicity zoom.Sam himself by yourself, this determine claims minor about that and didn't explain the picture high quality received. Substantially a lot more than say a variety of focal lengths (and actually viewing angles), which happens to be indicated around the lens around the aperture. Specification ordinarily, besides the real values are specified equal focal duration as compared to 35mm movie. Little focal duration indicates the body will get a great deal far more objects, a big focal size usually means which the body will get more compact objects, but makes the result of your grow.Electronic zoom.You'll want to not spend consideration to it. With its usage of photograph superior deteriorates, in order that just will take the middle in the body and stretched to complete body.Zooming in the course of video clip recording.This aspect is of two forms - is barely out there electronic zoom and optical zoom (and that is simpler to get far better photographs). In this particular regard, ultra with guide zooming (along with the most recent electronic cameras picture ) the top possibility.Picture Stabilizer.An incredibly helpful attribute. Fingers trembling in just about every individual, generally bringing about the capturing movement - it truly is in like situations the stabilizer is helpful. The stabilization is of a few forms: optical, mechanical and digital. It can be thought that optical - the very best good quality, but it surely is usually the costliest as it is really a element composition of your lens. When the digital camera can disable stabilization - greater pick this feature. Normally involved stabilization really consumes acer laptop battery electricity.The existence on the viewfinder.Quite a few consider that it is actually not essential. I am going to provide you with some "for" usually incorporated screen strongly induced, capturing with outstretched arms if you hover throughout the exhibit - it really is yet another explanation not sharp photographs in brilliant sunshine viewfinder - is undoubtedly an irreplaceable detail.Rotating the screen.The following every thing is obvious - an exceptionally beneficial and handy functions. Lets you shoot in a time when only bodily extremely hard to discover the topic.Electrical power offer.Strength provide chambers are as follows:- Particular Lithium-Ion (Li-Polymer) Acer battery that may be employed only within this type or some comparable. A calendar year or two, if it out of the blue goes down, discover the exact same in revenue may be really problematic. Advantages - a compact acer laptop battery, compact measurement and pounds. Compact cameras with batteries normally price tag 拢 20-40 additional pricey.- Typical AA-size penlight batteries (2-4 items). Useful resource batteries from 5 to fifty frames, so that they equipped while in the package just for operation screening chamber. You may want to purchase more batteries of the variety and charger to them, which could bring about 拢 20-80. Nonetheless, this sort of strength is common and acer laptop battery that sat down, it is possible to usually change the batteries, acquired while in the closest kiosk. Also most thorough batteries of the sort to help make much more photographs than lithium-ion acer laptop battery (but development won't stand however and don't understand what the problem are going to be 1 12 months).In mature styles, so it absolutely was, I utilized regular exceptional kinds of batteries or acer laptop battery. Probably you'll find some types now, but connection with them shouldn't be tough as a consequence of the acquisition.From all of this it follows that should you journey lots, specially absent from civilization, you can over suit penlight batteries (extra strength, significantly less price) for those who really are a resident from the metropolis and shoot a little bit, then the lithium-ion acer laptop battery will probably be extra hassle-free.Dependability and protection.Digicam - a fragile detail, liable to all kinds of dangerous influences. If you would like it served for the extended time, then fork out consideration to your mechanical construction. In case the shell metallic, then at the least not crack if dropped.

You can find versions built to work in intense disorders. Historically Pentax pays wonderful notice to guard their tools from your adverse outcomes of your natural environment.Sort of memory.You can find a lot of varieties of memory cards and digital camera tend to be meant to perform with a person or two. When selecting a digicam is best to check with what kind you will need and ensure that these cards are no cost to order and in a realistic selling price. As an example, the commonest and out there memory cards are SD. Concurrently maps of MS (who likes to work with ) are significantly much less typical and a lot more high priced. Aside from employing its personal within the chamber, you'll want to link the cardboard for the computer system (for quicker and hassle-free details transfer in comparison with transfer by means of cable). That is a particular machine - a card reader, which you'll be able to acquire at any laptop or computer retail store. However, if there is a Acer laptop, it's ordinarily crafted card reader SD - which is a pleasant instant.Bundling.Determined by the make and type could be distinctive. She often explained within the guidance underneath "Complete." Should be current passport, handbook, charger (in the event you use lithium-ion acer laptop battery) cable for connecting to some personal computer cable to attach to some Television, CD with computer software. Also, almost certainly, will strap. Some designs is often geared up that has a memory card, addresses, picture frames.

AdBlocker 1.40

Thu, 31 May 2012 22:17:40 +0000

For Safari and other Apps with web browser functionality!

AdBlocker is an easy to use and powerful tool, similar to extensions for your desktop browser. It blocks ads in Safari and other apps which are using browser-like views (UIWebView). If an app is using UIWebViews to display content (other browsers like Skyfire, browser in a twitter client,...) AdBlocker will block ads from being loaded and tries to optimize the space.

AdBlocker is designed to block image based ads in webcontent like websites and not advertisement in ad-supported apps.

AdBlock will reduce your data usage and often speed up loading of pages by blocking image based ads; extremely useful if you have a limited cellular data plan - it will save you money!

BlockLists are being downloaded from the net. No need to create huge configurationsfiles yourself.

AdBlocker is very fast, regex-based tool and can handle lists with thousands of entries without noticable slowing down the apps. Lists for 17 languages are build in, but you can easily add custom lists. Just google 'adblock lists' to find urls.

This is a true AdBlock equivalent to extension for desktop browsers, it uses huge lists that can single out specific parts of a domain, or only folders from a domain or even just a single image and therefor is superior to adblocking methods based only on hostnames.

Check Preferences.app for Settings and features.

Microsoft to Release Office for iPad on November 10th?

Thu, 31 May 2012 21:47:58 +0000

Microsoft is reportedly planning to release Office for iPad on November 10th, according to The Daily.

We've learned that the development team within Office Mobile finished its work on the project last month, and the efforts of the design group wrapped soon after. The app is now in the hands of a usability team that appraises software that utilizes the Metro design language for "Metro compliance" and suggests changes as needed. When approved by the team, the app likely will go to Apple for app store approval, which could take a couple of weeks.

Last week, BGR also reported that the application would launch in November. Microsoft has denied the rumored app, despite leaked screenshots.

Apple Job Listing Add Weight to Possibility of a Dock Connector Redesign?

Thu, 31 May 2012 21:39:16 +0000

Apple is hiring for Connector Design Engineers adding weight to rumors that it plans to ditch the 30-pin dock connector, reports TechCrunch.

The Connector Design Engineer will be responsible for managing multiple connector designs and developments in support of the iPod product lines. Cross-functional development and consulting will be a major part of your daily work. As a Lead Engineer you be responsible for identifying appropriate connection technology requirements for new products and follow through with selection and development of suitable interconnect products. This will often involve adaptation of existing connectors or complete new designs. Interfacing with connector suppliers to direct and implement the necessary design changes or creation of completely new designs will also be a major part of your daily work.

Apple has two separate job listings for similar connector design positions.

Back in February, it was reportedly that Apple plans to ditch the traditional dock connector in favor of a smaller alternative. Recent images of purported iPhone 5 parts show a smaller connector.

Apple Releases Document Detailing iOS Security

Thu, 31 May 2012 21:37:39 +0000

Apple has released a document detailing the components of iOS Security.

Apple designed the iOS platform with security at its core. Keeping information secure on mobile devices is critical for any user, whether they're accessing corporate and customer information or storing personal photos, banking information, and addresses. Because every user's information is important, iOS devices are built to maintain a high level of security without compromising the user experience.

iOS devices provide stringent security technology and features, and yet also are easy to use. The devices are designed to make security as transparent as possible. Many security features are enabled by default, so IT departments don't need to perform extensive configurations. And some key features, like device encryption, are not configurable, so users cannot disable them by mistake.

The document covers areas such as system architecture, encryption and data protection, network security, and device access.

Beta Version of iOS 6 Reveals Hardware Details of New iPhone?

Thu, 31 May 2012 21:35:42 +0000

A leaked beta version of iOS 6 reveals hardware details of the next generation iPhone, according to 9to5Mac.

The iPhone running iOS 6 boasts Darwin Kernel Version 13.0.0. We can also see that the processor is an ARM S5L8950X.

Darwin Kernel Version 13.0.0: XXX May XX XX:XX:XX PDT 2012; root:xnu-21XX.X.XXX/DEVELOPMENT_ARM_S5L8950X

Interestingly, that is a full release above the most current developer version of MAC OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. The XNU build is also higher (21XX vs 2050.5.8):

Darwin Kernel Version 12.0.0: Tue May 8 17:30:17 PDT 2012; root:xnu-2050.5.8~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

The Samsung 5L8950X ARM processor is a step up from the S5L8940X on the iPhone 4 and the S5L8945X on the new iPad but further details are unclear. It's known as the "A5-***" internally (the last three characters were removed to protect their source). It's not likely the final name but does suggest that the the next iPhone's processor will still be a A5 processor rather than stepping up to A6; although, that is still uncertain.

The next phone will reportedly get a new GPU chip called the "SGX543RC*" (the asterisk is another sensitive number that could identify people working on the device). It will reportedly continue to have 1GB of RAM.

Notably, the device used by their source features the same Qualcomm baseband found in the iPad 3 4G but this is expected to change.

"Our source indicated this might be because he/she does not need access to any new baseband that they might use. Moreover, the battery life is not a concern, because this unit must always stay plugged-in. We expect the final N41AP / iPhone5,1 to carry the latest Gobi chips. These chips should allow low-power voice/data on a variety of mobile networks, including China Mobile's TD-LTE."
