Steve Jobs - 2007 iPhone Presentation ( Part 1 of 2 ) First Look At The New Evernote 5 For Mac: It's All Good. For adventurous Evernote users on Macs, the beta version of Evernote 5 became available on Thursday. It’s quite different - in mostly good ways. Here’s how to install it and take it for a spin. UPDATE 11/15: Evernote 5 is now available for all Mac users. What’s New You’ll first notice the changes in the sidebar, which, if you’re like me, is almost always the starting point.
You can hide any of these icons that you don’t use. You can also expand them, so you can get your drop-down list of notebooks, if you so desire. There’s also a new section called Atlas, which displays your location-tagged notes on maps automatically. At the top of the sidebar, there’s a section for shortcuts, which is hugely handy. The new browsing panel scared me at first, too, because I don’t like the big card view of notes. The actual note editor is still familiar, but there are some tweaks to make it more useful. You can now download Evernote 5 for Mac from the Mac App Store. Google Apps for Business Overview.
What Life Is Like For A Smartphone User Without A Data Plan. Guest author Tim McCormick is a product developer & writer in Palo Alto, CA interested in publishing, learning technology, and urban innovation. In How To Drop Your Data Plan And Keep Using Your Smartphone, I explored how you can use a smartphone effectively while paying little to no phone charges. Now, here are some observations on what I’ve learned about the consequences and benefits of this low-cost, carrier-free smartphone approach. 1. Always-on, ubiquitous Internet connectivity is rarely necessary In fact, I often prefer access to be intermittent and discontinuous. Intermittent connectivity helps to automatically counter one of the key behavioral problems with the Web and mobile tech: the so-called “buffet table problem.” 2. Granted, you might well have work, personal or other relationships in which being available and picking up calls is expected.
In the subscription-free smartphone setup I’ve described, you can take all incoming calls anywhere via your prepaid mobile plan (i.e. 3. Fewer fans line up for iPad Mini. Customers show their newly purchased iPad Mini tablets at an Apple store in Tokyo on Friday. Apple's iPad Mini went on sale in 34 markets worldwide on Friday Demand appeared to be down compared to the throngs that met previous releasesDevice enters small-tablet territory already occupied by Google's Nexus 7 and Amazon's Kindle FireApple wouldn't comment on how many iPad Minis were pre-ordered Hong Kong (CNN) -- The iPad Mini made its global sales debut Friday, but the lines of fans outside many stores were much smaller than previous Apple debuts.
By midday, the line at Apple's flagship store in Hong Kong to pick up reserved devices had five people, a far cry from the throngs that turned out for the iPad 2 debut here last year. Hong Kong was among the first of 34 countries -- including the U.S. and major European markets -- where the iPad Mini went on sale Friday. Is Apple's iPad Mini really worth it?

Within weeks, I set up unique, complex passwords for every Web site, enabled two-step authentication for my e-mail accounts, and even covered up my computer’s Web camera with a piece of masking tape — a precaution that invited ridicule from friends and co-workers who suggested it was time to get my head checked. But recent episodes offered vindication.
I removed the webcam tape — after a friend convinced me that it was a little much — only to see its light turn green a few days later, suggesting someone was in my computer and watching. More recently, I received a text message from Google with the two-step verification code for my Gmail account. That’s the string of numbers Google sends after you correctly enter the password to your Gmail account, and it serves as a second password. (Do sign up for it.) It is absurdly easy to get hacked.
Chances are, most people will get hacked at some point in their lifetime. OR JUST JAM ON YOUR KEYBOARD For sensitive accounts, Mr. A PASSWORD MANAGER? How To Drop Your Data Plan And Keep Using Your Smartphone. (c) 2009 Vox Efx, “Me and Me – Day 89″, CC-BY-2.0 Guest author Tim McCormick is a product developer & writer in Palo Alto, CA interested in publishing, learning technology, and urban innovation. Over the last six months, I’ve made an experiment of giving up my $90/month cellular + data plan, and exploring alternative ways to use my smartphone (iPhone) costing as little as $5/mo.
The key point is that you don’t need a contract or a subscription to use a smartphone, contrary to just about everything you ever hear. RFR IPhone Next, concept by Fabio Merzari / RFR Designers I’ve come to think that it is not only often possible to largely cut out phone costs via these methods, but they actually provide a helpful path to other goals such as better prioritizing your time and attention, lowering stress and disruption, improving online reading patterns, and making you more connected to place and local community. So here are the steps. 1) Set up or find wi-fi (wireless internet) networks.
Microsoft ditches Windows Live Messenger for Skype. 6 November 2012Last updated at 20:15 GMT Windows Live Messenger replicated much of the functionality of the firm's Skype division Microsoft has announced it intends to "retire" its instant message chat tool and replace it with Skype's messaging tool. The news comes 18 months after the software giant announced it was paying $8.5bn (£5.3bn) for the communications software developer. Microsoft said Windows Live Messenger (WLM) would be turned off by March 2013 worldwide, with the exception of China. It reflects the firm's determination to focus its efforts on Skype. WLM launched in 1999 when it was known as MSN Messenger.
In 2009, the firm said it had 330 million active users. Chat 'cannibalisation' According to internet analysis firm Comscore, WLM still had more than double the number of Skype's instant messenger facility at the start of this year in the US, and was second only in popularity to Yahoo Messenger. Skype is offering a tool to migrate users WLM contacts to its service. Nexus 7, Kindle Fire HD 'outperform' iPad Mini display - CNET Mobile. A display expert echoed today what reviews have already said: the iPad Mini's display is not Apple's best display effort to date. The Mini's display is "capable" but not great, said Raymond Soneira of DisplayMate Technologies in display "shoot-out" published today.
And it's rated lower than higher resolution displays of its main rivals in some key areas: the Google Nexus 7 and Amazon Kindle Fire HD. "The displays on existing mini Tablets from Amazon and Google outperform the iPad mini in most of our lab tests," Soneira wrote. And the Mini falls short of Apple's own high standards, set by the gorgeous Retina displays on the last two generations of 9.7-inch iPads, iPhone 4/4S, iPhone 5, and Retina MacBooks. "So Apple, the inventor of Retina Display marketing, now has a significant competitive shortfall on this," wrote Soneira.
And this echoes CNET's take on iPad Mini's display. Some salient critiques of the iPad Mini's display by DisplayMate : Xbox Music. The Surface Movement. Chromebook: The (always) new computer.

Windows Phone is fifthiOS is the easiest to learn, but Android offers more flexibility and controlThe just-released Windows Phone 8 is fun and might appeal to faithful Windows PC owners (CNN) -- A dizzying number of smartphones is now available in the United States. Picking one is a big commitment, especially when you're signing up for a two-year wireless contract. There are multiple factors to consider when picking a new phone, such as the carrier, your budget, hardware and the operating system.
Apple, Google and Microsoft each has its own mobile operating systems and ecosystems -- iOS, Android and Windows Phone, respectively -- and they've all been updated in the last year. We spent a week or so playing with new phones running these systems to see how they stack up. Here are our impressions: Heather Kelly/CNN Interface Apps and content. Review: Microsoft's Surface RT will make even a fanboy cry | Mobile Technology. You have to give Microsoft credit for creating an iPad competitor that's more than a copy.
Yes, the Surface RT is roughly the same size and weight as the iPad, but it's truly its own device. For one thing, it comes with Microsoft Office by default. For another, the bundled cover, which doubles as a keyboard, tells you the Surface is meant to be used more as a laptop than as a touch tablet. The built-in kickstand, which positions the touchscreen vertically, reinforces that fundamental difference with the iPad, which for the most part is meant to be used horizontally. After using a Surface tablet, it became crystal clear that the Surface is really an Office appliance, not a tablet à la the iPad. But it's not a very good Office appliance. One reason is that the hardware doesn't work well for Office, even with the bundled keyboard cover, because the Office apps are nearly unusable with the touchscreen and just so-so with the keyboard's trackpad.
