One of the things about Windows which a great deal of users have come to love is also one of the things which a lot of people have taken the opportunity to have a dig at the Redmond company for. There's no doubt that Windows has been the most popular desktop operating system over the years, with millions of people across the world loving the fact that Microsoft has introduced new versions of the OS while rigidly sticking to a tried, tested and familiar visual user-experience. By that I mean it doesn't matter if you pick up Windows 98, XP, Millennium, Vista or 7, you automatically know from experience where things are and can get up and running right away.
Among other things like rumors, reports and leaks, concept designs start popping up in increased frequency on the Internet as the world approaches the announcement and release of a next iPhone. In this post, we will be discussing some of these concepts with hopes of seeing some of their features in the final design of the new iPhone.
One of the most popular features of any connected device, regardless of whether it is a desktop machine, mobile smartphone or a games console, is being able to get onto the internet and see what marvels are available. To be able to achieve this the device in question obviously needs to have some kind of web browser application that acts as the medium between the device and the user. With Google only recently releasing their Chrome browser onto the iOS App Store, mobile web browsing has been a recent topic of discussion, especially the performance issues that surround browsing.
We have come across a new Windows to Android transformation pack today. Simply named the Android Jelly Bean Skin Pack for Windows 7, the transformation pack includes a bunch of different programs that, when used together, give Windows 7 an Android 4.1 Jelly Bean-like look.
Every now and then, a package lands on the Cydia store that can't help but appeal and also provides some confusion as to why it wasn't submitted to the official App Store to try and attract the mainstream user-base rather than just the jailbreak community. PreviewMaker is one of those packages, and we’re guessing that it doesn't fully meet the human-interface guidelines as specified by Apple, but whatever the reason is, it is definitely going to appeal to jailbreak fans.
If you are a regular user of any social networking services like Facebook, Google+ or Twitter and you haven't posted an embarrassing status update or an inflammatory tweet, then quite frankly, you are doing it wrong. The behemoth that is Facebook and the fast growing Twitter micro-blogging services are fantastic mediums to interact with people from all over the world, but I think at one point or another we have all been guilty of saying something in the heat of the moment that we later regret.
Proceedings from the Apple vs. Samsung have so far revealed a startling amount of previously classified information. We’ve seen – among other things - iPhone and iPad prototypes from 2006 and earlier, plans for upcoming tablets from Samsung, and the design and thought process that went into iOS devices.
Although companies like Apple and Microsoft are continuously tweaking existing versions of their operating systems and building next-generation software to power PCs and Macs, it would all be pretty much useless without a connection to the internet. You would actually be extremely surprised at how much of your day-to-day computing activity actually relies on being connected to the world wide web, meaning there is nothing more infuriating than a poor or dropped wireless connection.
If you happen to be a person who accomplish their fair share of driving for either business or personal pleasure, then the chances are; at one time or another, you saw something truly unbelievable at the side of the road that would make a perfect photo opportunity. The most realistic chance of snapping an extremely quick photograph undoubtedly comes from using something like an iPhone or any other smartphone device, but by the time you get it out and get the camera app loaded, that moment has passed away. So what do we do about it? Admit defeat and move on, burdened by the fact that something truly remarkable has been missed?
It doesn’t happen very often that we actually take a step back and take a look at the way we go about doing our business on the move in the modern computing age compared to not so long ago. The emergence of powerful smartphones like the iPhone or Galaxy S III, as well as mobile tablets like the iPad or the poor old HP TouchPad have dramatically increased productivity by allowing us to be connected to our information no matter where we are. The hardware which we use on a daily basis is all well and good, but on some occasions, it is actually the available software that really push us forward.
