Here is good news, the latest beta version iPhone OS 3.2 has been released by Apple to the developers of its iPhone Developer program, but without any detail of its updates. It is the third beta version iPhone OS 3.2. The last beta version had some interesting features and code name for next generation of iPhone and iPod Touch. But this latest version doesn’t offer any detail and Apple has immediately pulled the updates.
Some of the developers have downloaded the latest beta version and according to them there were many bugs in the update and that might be the reason why Apple has pulled of the updates without explanation.
Bellow you can see some screen shots of the Photo application published by 9to5Mac, included in the latest beta version:
Snap: CleanKeys Keyboard
According to the study at University of Arizona, it has been revealed that office workstations are dirtier than a bathroom. A computer keyboard harbors up to 3295 microbes PSI (Per Square Inch), a mouse usually has about 1676 microbes PSI and lastly telephones hold the most microbes for you and the figure is 25127 microbes PSI while a toilet seat only has about 49 microbes PSI. Woo!!
Well, this information has made me feel somewhat uncomfortable with office terminals. I mostly use my personal laptop in the office but sometimes I have to work on office terminals as well. So, I am totally clueless about the remedy of this stuff.
Snap: MiLi iPhone Projector
You probably would be thinking the ipad as a useless screen when you do have ipod and an iphone but the truth is that its bigger screen is actually impressive. Wait a minute, why not make iphone/ipod screen bigger? Well, that’s quite possible with a projector and interesting news is that we do have a projector in a market that is especially designed for iphone and ipod Touch. What’s spicy about this projector is the fact that you can carry it around in your pocket. So, with this accessory you will feel quite comfortable watching movies on your iphone and not only you but others around you can also enjoy a high resolution image thrown by this projector on any decent surface.
I remember being yelled at by elders, all the time for going to near a fan blowing air. It was not because they did not like the fan or they enjoyed yelling at me. Rather it was because the fan had blades, sharp blades because of which it was able to blow fast air. All those older people who always yelled, now have nothing to yell. Thanks to Dyson, who have come up with a new technology of fan. A fan that works efficiently and has no blades to worry about.
Dyson fans has airfoil shaped ramp, like that of the cross section of an aircraft wing. This eliminates the requirement of blades and gives a smooth and powerfull air flow. Buffeting is caused by conventional fans because it chops the air stream before it reaches the user. Whereas Air Multiplier doesn’t not chop the air but amplifies the surrounding air giving smooth stream of uninterrupted air.

Snap: Samsung i7500
Android Samsung Galaxy series is the addition of stylish set of phones to the market place. Samsung i7500 is an android phone that combines style with features that allows one to take full advantage of the android applications with its internet connectivity.
The galaxy is made of plastic and therefore fingerprints tend to accumulate on the surface. This is evident when one takes the mobile phone in the sunlight. So, keep it clean if you need to maintain a fresh look.
Coming to the keyboard, the Galaxy i7500 has a D-pad with 4 buttons surrounding a main OK button in the center. With the assistance of various key functions such as changing menu, locking, unlocking, closing of the application etc, it is easy to use the phone.
Snap: M4 (mac cooler)Smaller is better
A few weeks back, I was reading a news article stating that studies by researchers at the State University of New York have shown that using laptop on the lap creates serious health problems. Well that’s enough information for anyone to stop putting laptop on a lap.
The cause of the problem is the heat that laptops produce. The remedy here is of course a cooler for a laptop. Most of these cooler accessories are large in size and don’t suit a laptop but good news for Apple MAC users since LUXA2 has rolled out its MAC accessory named as ‘M4’ MAC Cooler whose sole purpose is to keep the MAC cool while you do your work without paying attention to the harmful heat.
Appolu.us has been shut down by its founder Kyek. The portal which started as a ‘solution to Flawed App Store’ soon became a hub for piracy stuff. The initial purpose of Kyek was to open up a site which could be used to first take a full version trial of iphone applications before spending money on them. The idea thrived and Appulo.us stepped in the first 2000 most popular sites on the web. But as described earlier, the idea of the founder was not to create a site which could be used to use pirated stuff but the actual figures suggested otherwise. Most visitors downloading apps didn’t buy the product at all although they kept the pirated software in use. God knows where Kyek got that information. However, that’s what he feels.
The truth is that Application store has given a huge setback to general public and independent developers using it to download and develop applications. Flawed to general public because it doesn’t allow anyone to take software trials before setting out to buy an application. Did you hear the story about ‘I am Rich’ iphone application which costed $999.99? The application did nothing but show you a glowing gem on the screen (making you feel rich :-)). Many complaint to Apple and an interesting stuff, the developer told that 8 people bought the application before Apple kicked it out of the store. Of course that happens when don’t have trials.
In today’s world everybody wants maximum information in minimum space. It would be even better if a dedicated space is not required for that particular information and it be easily transferred from one location to other.
Here are the top 5 used and voted tools used to rip, backup and encode a DVD.
A brief description of them all is provided below.
I came across this software while making a desperate search on internet for a tool which can record PC games. It was a desperate search because it took me 2 hours before I found this gem. Initially I used a trial version but it was a set back since it adds a water mark to the videos in the limited trial version. However, soon after trying that finally I bought it.
The software can not only record videos but also give you an option to take a screen snapshot with a push of a button. If you remember, I introduced software named ‘LightShot’ which allowed us to take snaps with the pressing of ‘Print Scrn’ button on the keyboard but FRAPS goes two steps further by allowing you to choose the function key which you feel convenient with, the image format can also be chosen among BMP, JPG, PNG and TGA. The snap is automatically stored in the path which you specify.
