If asked, I bet a lot of people would want something changed in some aspect of their lives. It could be in their professional lives, or even personal. We all want to live intensely, and one way to achieve that is to allow us to undergo some changes, whether glorious or painful.

And this is not just applicable to humans. Some electronic gadgets nowadays also take the test of endless improvement to gain the attention of consumers with puny reasoning abilities. If we want to become prettier or taller or slimmer, this apparently goes for smartphones as well. Take for example, the Apple iPhones. According to some reports, the tech juggernaut is currently working on the next iPhone that may sport significant changes on its outer design. Is it high time now for a cell phone trade in?

Remember that when the iPhone 4S was released, there was a media firestorm that swirled around the unoverhauled design of the iPhone 4S. Though it boasts of other features such as the powerful processor and the high-resolution camera, it seems pretty inevitable that people would raise their voices on the unimproved version of its predecessor.

Presently, there is a debate going on about whether the new iPhone would be released sporting a larger screen. You see, all the previous releases only had a 3.5-inch display surface. But some tech analysts say that is already going to change. The sixth-generation is predicted to be released in the fall.

But more surprising than that is the fact that the newest iPhone may come in a 4-inch screen. But so far, this is just a rumor. So don’t go out just yet to sell used cell phones to be prepared to snag it once the next iPhone is released.

This is not as easy as you deem it. In order for the iPhone to carry that large display, it should be made taller by about 0.4 inches (10 mm). However, the width of the gizmo will remain as it is.  This slight modification alone would compel Apple to magnify its current screen resolution capabilities. Third party apps may appear grainy or spotty if the vertical pixels remain the same.

Why Thinner Is Better

The iPhone is one of the predators that set the industry standards for smartphones. And it seems that it’s going to continue that way. If Apple decides to make the 6^th generation iPhone a much thinner contraption, other manufacturing companies would definitely be in for a tough competition. Some sources say that the new iPhone is going to be 20% thinner.

Also, reports say that the Dock Connector will be re-designed so that it will have fewer pins. Reports also speak of Apple’s use of a liquid metal body on the device. Although some sources provide contradictory reports, I bet parts of the newest iPhone would be replaced with metal.

Let’s See What Happens…

Whew! Though reports about the 6^th generation iPhone are already looming above our heads, we still have a lot of time to think and ponder how it’s going to look in the coming seasons. That means you have plenty of time to sell old cell phones to offset the purchase of the next iPhone.

If one has an email account, he is bound to be annoyed by junk mail. Spammers collect email addresses from chat rooms, internet forums and newsgroups. Apart from annoying a user, spam emails can also introduce viruses and malware into the computer. Below are 10 tips that can help combat spam:

• When browsing the Internet, the user should not click on anything or disclose email addresses unless they know what they are doing. Spammers take advantage of the users’ ignorance to mine valuable data.
• Even though mail servers have spam filters, junk mail ends up in inboxes. Spammers and email service providers play this cat and mouse game where the service providers introduce filters and spammers find a way to override it.
• One should never post their email addresses on a public forum. Spammers use bots and scripts that crawl for email addresses. If one has to post their email address, rather than using text, an image with the email address can be posted. If that is not possible, Java script can be used to display the address or it can be written as username-at-gmail-dot-com.
• The same handle for all websites should be avoided and the primary email address should never be used in chat rooms. Chat rooms and IRC are havens for spammers and just by using the handle; they can guess the email address.
• If a junk mail ends up in the inbox, it should be reported and the email address of the sender should be blocked. This would prevent further emails from the same address ending up in the inbox.
• If email clients like Thunderbird or Outlook are used, third party plug-ins that block spam can be used. These plug-ins have filters that are regularly updated and are very flexible.
• Incoming emails can be limited to those in the address book alone; this is a very effective way to minimize spam. The user can skim through the junk mails to check if any mails have landed there by mistake.
• If a user is signing up on a website, an email address has to be provided to verify the account. In such cases, rather than disclosing the real email address, temporary email addresses can be used.
• One should never reply to junk email, this only worsens the problem.
• Gmail has a fairly good spam filter and all the junk mail goes into a spam folder which gets deleted in 30 days. So, the user can consider creating an account with Gmail

By following these simple tips, you can finally stop all the email spam, and once again be excited to check your email inbox!

Dreamoc is a display kiosk with a difference, its 3D projection allows the holographic images within it to jump and captivate audiences whilst also allowing them to interact with the images on display. At first glance the Dreamoc is a normal display unit, the triangle shaped glassing gives it a futuristic look but besides that there is nothing out of ordinary with the Dreamoc, that is until its 3D holographic projection images are displayed, at which point the Dreamoc is transformed in to a centre piece for any exhibition stand or home.

Originally designed for brands to showcase their offerings to consumers, the Dreamoc certainly offers a point of differentiation from other forms of marketing mediums. The Dreamoc is ideal for maximising customer engagement by showcasing products whether in retail outlets or at exhibitions. With the excitement currently surrounding holographic projection the Dreamoc has also found a new market within homes. The Dreamoc, although costly is seen as the perfect alternative to add something different to a home and a wonderful way to display photos and moving images in 3D. With multi touch screen technology now all around us in the form of tablets, phones and in other forms from the supermarket to the train station many are expecting 3D projection to make the leap in to our everyday lives.

The 3D content displayed by the Dreamoc can be in the form of images, text descriptions or videos, all of which can be tailored to your event, product or home. Although only expected to be taken up by early adopters at the moment and maybe too early for many one point that can’t be denied is the fact that the Dreamoc is at the forefront of the 3D holographic projection industry, an industry we can expect to see a lot more of in the future.

It is indeed a love and hate relationship when we talk about the iPad 2. We love it for a lot of reasons but we hate some of its mediocre features. It’s just like eating tacos, one moment you are in love with its rich and flavorful taste, then after that, you’ll hate the smell of your breath.

A lot like the iPad 2.

According to TechRadar.com, there is a lot to love about the iPad 2, but there are reasons to hate it. Even if it grants its user the “Three P’s” comprised of Power, Pleasure and Prestige, it can also hold back the features that you, as a user would really want.

It can actually pass as one of the ‘best consumer electronics product of all time’ if not for some features that are seemingly half-baked and haphazardly done.

Realizations

If we will compare the iPad to the iPad 2, there will be no qualms that the iPad 2 is a better eye candy than its predecessor. The iPad 2 is a lot slimmer and lighter than the original model.

These aesthetic changes are very appealing when it comes to having the first iPad. The iPad 2 is definitely handier and is a lot more portable because it is less bulky and not as heavy.

When there were apps that required a user to hold the device in one hand, it was too difficult for the previous iPad users and their hands were stressed after doing it. The effort exerted to support the heavy thing primarily with a thumb can really be tiresome.

So when it comes to aesthetic and ergonomic improvements, the iPad 2 earns more than two thumbs up.

The only thing that could have set the iPad 2 apart from the original was its two cameras. When the iPad 2 was launched, thousands of Apple geeks were delighted to hear that the new tablet would sport two cameras. The hype about it was fever-pitch and everyone would say that it was utterly magical.

But it was really disappointing when the iPad 2 finally emerged.  The 0.7 megapixel or 720p camera of the iPad 2 made it frustrating and depressing for its users to take still pictures. A lot of them have been wondering why a company of such great innovations had to put something there that could destroy the whole image of what should be a very interesting device.

If you have ever been successful in taking a decent picture with the iPad 2, do not brag to anybody. Why? It’s because it’s only good when you view it on the iPad’s screen. Try posting it on different devices and you’ll see how you are super exposed.

A high resolution camera is of course a delight, but it’s not everything when it comes to judging the value of a device. There could have been something better.  So when it comes to camera features, the used iPad 2 gets a…perhaps nothing worth mentioning.

This will make the user easier to use the windows Phone because they will easily understand the setting and menu.

4. Nokia Music

This is the feature that available for Nokia phone, Nokia Muic. The people who use Nokia Lumia 610 will have priviledge to download music legally from Nokia Music for 6 months. Yes, you can download a lot of your favorite music legally and free.

Launched in 2008, Spotify quickly rose in popularity as people became familiar with its unique interface and unlimited music-streaming abilities. With a free 30-day trial period, users became addicted to the capabilities of easily connecting with friends, searching for new music and sharing music interests through Facebook.

The initially free supply of music from independent and major record labels is supported by both visual and audio advertisements much like Pandora. Once the trial period ends, mobile subscriptions start at around $10 a month.

Although Spotify is not the first service of its kind to make its way to the tablet market, it claims to provide the highest quality of service by focusing on three areas.

Display
The interface is shown in a YouTube advertisement to be sleek and easy-to-use, supporting use throughout the day in the various situations we find ourselves in. As we transition from waking up to having breakfast, from riding to work or having dinner with friends, so too can the new app move from one song or artist to the next. The tablet app, unlike the phone and desktop versions, focuses on album and artist pictures and artwork rather than playlists and individual tracks.

Function
Aside from supporting AirPlay and having higher-than-normal streaming rates (320kbps), the new version of Spotify is designed to be a personal or room stereo. With such aspirations, it uses its AirPlay compatibility to connect to BlueTooth speaker devices and Apple TV.

In addition to these macro-function ideas, the new app has new micro-functions that focus on two popular ideas: creating playlists and finding new music. This may be a popular trend with music streaming apps, but again, Spotify claims to provide their users with the best way to create playlists of songs they want while exploring music that is new to them.

Social
In addition to the Facebook login feature, which seems to be both ubiquitous and crucial to the success of an app, Spotify has included some sharing capabilities that have advanced its popularity. Users can link up through the new app with their friends and share songs, artists and playlists freely.

Letting your Facebook friends know what you’re listening to, as well as finding new and popular music, is becoming easier than ever. To get your own copy of Spotify’s latest app for tablets, visit iTunes.
