The Springboard or desk of the iPhone does not support the view in landscape mode. Not so with the iPhone, due to screen size and function of the device itself, it does offer a landscape view of the home screen. Different iPhone models offer this feature but is reserved for certain applications and the main screen showing icons only displayed in portrait format, so you have to go turn the terminal depending on what you're doing.
As always, Cydia is a solution to this problem. Cydia is the application store for mobile devices that Apple has applied the jailbreak, a method that eliminates the restrictions imposed by Apple and gives more freedom to users can activate new functions or customize the device. In the alternative app store there are many tools to turn the iPhone home screen just as happens on the iPad. However, most of them are extra, an example would SBRotator, which fulfills its purpose perfectly, but costs two dollars , which can be inconvenient for many users.
The developer Ryan Petrich has recently published a similar application is also free. His name is IconRotator and as its name suggests makes the application icons rotate to fit the way you're holding the device, even if we take the view it allows iPhone upside down. But does not rotate around the Springboard as with the iPad. The icons are kept in the same position all the time and only turn on themselves. The dock always stays in one place so if we turn the terminal dock will stay where it was but with the icons drawn. Although not a real turning the home screen function is the same and not have to go turn the terminal to display the content correctly.
Ryan Petrich is a jailbreak application developer well known, is the creator of useful tools like FullForce Activator or iPad, among many others. All what this developer has his seal of quality and IconRotator not going to be less. The behavior of this application is the most fluid and the animations when you turn the icons are smooth and seamless.
IconRotator is free and hosted on the personal repository of Ryan Petrich, the address is http://rpetri.ch/repo/. To install it you have to add this address in the Cydia sources, the download is very fast because the application is very light (only weighing 24 Kb). IconRotator not install any entry in the menu settings of the terminal and all you have to make it work is a respring (restart SringBoard) when finished downloading from the store Cydia.
Samsung presented today in Madrid a new range of Smart Cameras, or smart cameras. Four models of cameras (WB850F, WB150F, DV300F, ST200F), and a video camera (QF20) able to share images and videos instantly, either for storage in the cloud or post on a social network (wirelessly), and is for viewing on any screen (the mobile, the tablet, the computer or TV).
According to Daniel Molero, director of the division of Samsung Digital Image, "these devices open up a new era of photography. Because unite the advantages of a camera and a compact hybrid, the two segments preferred by consumers. And they do it for to share or publish photos is an act almost as fast as pressing the shutter button. Easy, almost instanténeo and without cables or intermediate processes. "
A recent survey commissioned by the company claims that, in 2014, 50% of the cameras will be equipped with WiFi. Thus, connectivity, so far exclusive to computers, tablets and smartphones, is extended to these devices. And it is not to invent any new technology. In effect, what do the new cameras from Samsung and it has long ago any generation mobile phone. Of what it is to incorporate the same connectivity to a device able to provide many more features and quality of a mobile camera. The technology, therefore, already exists. What has changed is the environment use.
Another feature of the new Smart Cameras is its ease of use. On the screen (incorporating the bright AMOLED Samsung) are a series of icons. Each is an application and allows different actions and the contents of the camera. Thus, in the WiFi is an icon of "social networks" to send photos, for example, Facebook. Another "Email" with which we can send any image or video directly by email.
Another, "Mobile Link" allows us to export the content to a tablet or mobile phone. "Remote Viewfinder" goes one step further and turns any smartphone into a "remote" from the camera. When activated, the mobile screen in the same scene appears in the camera, and can be controlled from the phone functions such as zoom, shutter, self timer, flash ... Something really useful, for example, to record us and photograph us ourselves without having to register "by eye" against the target and in the few seconds that allows the trigger.
Rounding out applications series "Cloud", to store content remotely (eg Sky Drive), "Backup", which allows images automatically dump the computer hard drive, wireless, or the familiar "TV Link ", standard on phones from Samsung, with which we can instantly see any content on the camera on the computer screen.
Applications also are in the Google apps stores (Play Store) and Apple (App Store). Are free, and just install them on the phone to access all the features described.
Of course, the cameras come with photo and video editors, wide format, artistic brush, filters and a variety of preinstalled applications that ensure long hours of fun without having to disconnect the camera. As for optics, Schneider lenses incorporate optical zoom to 21x. One of the four models presented, the DV300 F, has a dual screen (one front), a feature unique to the brand that we saw in previous models.
Instagram has announced a change in its terms to fight or support content that promotes self-harm or eating disorders on users. The company has said they will not allow photos, labels or accounts that promote these practices. Instagram may close accounts that do not respect these new rules. Social networking is a space where users can interact with people with similar concerns. Service is based on the idea of communication in the ability to share content. Within these possibilities, these services can be used for purposes that run counter to the health of people, an attitude that usually condemn responsible companies.
The latest to announce a campaign in its service to try to avoid this type of use has been Instagram. The company explained on its official blog that they want their service is a space for sharing photos with friends, relatives or anyone else, but always in a "positive and healthy." To achieve this goal, Instagram want to eradicate their service contents that promote eating disorders or self-damaging activities to the health of people. According to the company, this kind of content does not help users and lead to behaviors that go against the depart. Therefore, Instagram want to limit the use of teaching these subjects to campaigns to fight against those problems precisely.
In Instagram have decided to ban the use of labels that allude to this practice. If users want to use words like this, the service displays a message that will be provided a link to a help page. In addition, Instagram, deleted pictures and accounts of users who have relations. The social network responsible for the automatic action may be taken against those responsible for this content, instantly closing the accounts involved. Alongside these actions, Instagram also reported the possibility of denouncing pictures. The service has sought the cooperation of users to report any photo that has passed the filter and is published in the service with these characteristics.
This initiative joins Instagram efforts of other social networking services like Facebook Tumbrl and who have taken action like this. On the opposite side, Twitter refused in September 2011 has similar action, understanding that the publication of such views did not involve a crime, so that they could not proceed with removal. In any case, the Instagram initiative is evidence of increased awareness of such services, which can be a useful tool to help people with problems.
What we see in the video is the announcement of a new type of nano crystal structure, a glass with revolutionary features where water bounces and there is no dirt. According to MIT, the glass is anti-fog and glare-free technology with clear implications for future devices. So far one of the most recognizable features of the crystal was the way light is reflected. With the new glass surface and form to create textures virtually eliminate reflections, an area that would make the water droplets bouncing like rubber balls.
A glass that researchers will put the label of "multifunctional" and is based on superficial nanotexturas produce a series of conical features, cleaned and resists fog or glare. As I said at the beginning, a crystal whose implications for the future and to carry out a process for manufacturing low cost, could be applied to optical devices, smartphone screens, televisions, solar panels, car windows or even buildings.
To give us an idea, the video was filmed with a Phantom high speed camera testing the capabilities of the structure with water. The result is that every drop on the surface eventually becomes a spherical ball that bounces. A new structure whose implications for the future are unimaginable.
The boss of the giant antivirus believes that Apple is not reactive enough in case of fault on its software. If Apple is great on the design of its products, it is perhaps not even in terms of security. That at least is what condemns Eugene Kaspersky, founder and owner of a giant Russian anti-virus, interviewed by Computer Business Review. "I think they are ten years behind Microsoft in terms of security," he firmly told. "The introduction of malicious software in the Apple universe was only a matter of time and market share," he said, adding that "cyber criminals have now identified the Mac as an interesting ground" . "Welcome to the world of Microsoft, is full of viruses!" is he exclaimed at Apple.
Accustomed to managing operating systems not targeted by attacks, Apple now has to face many challenges. Its market share explodes on the PC market, but also - and especially - on the smartphones and tablets, where Apple sells its iPhone and iPad like hotcakes.
600 000 Mac infected Flashback
"Apple is entering the world in which Microsoft is over ten years: updates, security patches, etc.." Said Eugene Kaspersky, adding that he expected "to see more and more malicious code for Mac because cyber criminals learn from their successes and Flashback was the first successful Mac ".
Kaspersky is not his first attempt and had previously criticized Apple just after the discovery of the Trojan Flashback, which has infected more than 600,000 Macs in the world. The Apple had put a lot of time to react, leaving its users vulnerable for more than three months. In the security world, where everyone knows that zero risk does not exist, the reliability is not the absence of faults, but the speed of the reaction of the software. On this point, Microsoft has made great strides with Windows 98 and Windows XP, and has teams on a war footing twenty-four hours out of twenty-four.
The title says it all. No matter the reason, you want to extract audio from a video you have. Maybe you only have an mp3 player and it makes no sense to carry all video, or you may want to do some editing to create your own content. The point is that there are several ways to perform this extraction, but one of the simplest in the program will find Swifturn Free Sound Extractor. With support for over 250 formats, you may not allow anything to escape to the extraction capacity (and conversion) of this software.
Download YouTube videos is fairly straightforward, but when you only need the audio of one of these videos, how to proceed is slightly different. Some of the download services (for browser extensions or Greasemonkey scripts are some of the things that come to mind) and offer a direct extraction of audio in a format like mp3. However, if you already have the video saved locally (and not necessarily come from YouTube), you may need some outside help. This also must add the difference in formats. Remember that some formats are simple containers, and the possibility (albeit remote) that can not perform the extraction.
Fortunately, the program known as Swifturn Free Sound Extractor eliminates any problems of incompatibility by providing audio extraction support for over 250 formats. All you have to do is specify the path of the video (or videos, because you can process multiple at once), and in the next step choose either audio format and quality, through the multiple "presets" available. At the same time, Free Sound Extractor can fulfill the role of audio converter. For example, if you have a FLAC file and need to convert it to mp3, you can do so without specifying the FLAC problems as the source file, instead of a video.
Sony has just introduced two new hi-fi mini-chains ported to iPhone, iPod or iPhone. The new Sony CMT-V50iP and CMT-V75BTiP are characterized by design, very compact and stylish, and also to incorporate each a CD player, which makes them ideal for those who still accumulate and listen to music on CDs.
The Sony
CMT-V50iP and CMT-V75BTiP offer a very slim and discreet, with the front dominated by the speakers, which are hidden behind the grille. The port for iPod or iPhone is located in the center of the base and is removable. At the top, a small LED display informs us of the track or the audio source selected. The control buttons are located also in the top of the device, on either side of the screen. This confers on
CMT-V50iP and CMT-V75BTiP a modern and minimalist, which will combine perfectly with any corner of our house, whether the kitchen, living room or bedroom. And thanks to its compact size is very light and easy to carry.
The new Sony CMT-V75BTiP and CMT-V50iP compact are the first Japanese company to equip speakers Magnetic Fluid. These speakers have no buffer system, so that produce less distortion and, therefore, achieve a clear and intelligible sound. Sony says that the result of this new technology is particularly evident in the frequency range of medium-high. In the absence of damping, Magnetic Fluid speakers are also thinner than conventional ones, so also are responsible for the stylized look of the new CMT-V75BTiP and CMT-V50iP.
Thankfully, Sony has equipped these new players with a CD player, a format that looks like it is in the doldrums in the light of recent teams that are appearing on the market. The CD of new CMT-V75BTiP and CMT-V50iP is a caracerística that will secure more than one user is decided by these new Sony.
As we said earlier, both models feature a front port for iPhone, iPod or iPhone. The CMT-V50iP also includes a USB connection for playback from any MP3 player, though not the brand of the block. For its part, the CMT-V75TiP has DAB digital radio tuner and DAB +, and also with Bluetooth interface, allowing us to stream music without connecting any cables from your iPhone or another compatible device.
In summary, two new bases for iPod or iPhone, with a good design and features daily as DAB radio or CMT-V75TiP Bluetooth. Furthermore, thinking of those who still buy music, offer a CD player, a very wise to consider. It is expected that the new Sony CMT-and CMT-V50iP V75BTiP reach Europe during the month of June.

Screen more than four inches, can support 3D content, improved Siri ... are many rumors that have been raising within the universe of speculation about the iPhone 5. But this did not count. We refer to a couple of buttons from web-mall.com tvc claim to be the next parts of Cupertino smartphone. But it would be difficult if not impossible, to certify that we have a couple of real components of the iPhone 5, despite the submissions from the said shop.
Apparently, the aspect that shows the two buttons is identical to the iPhone 4S and iPhone 4. The visible surface is circular, with a small square printing describes the four corners rounded slightly. The inner zone which serves to couple the button on the phone's structure remains as square, climbing mode of drawing and described.
In short, that while from tvc-mall.com sell these keys as those used in the iPhone 5, all indications lead us to believe we really are about moving pieces in place. On the other hand, why sell components of a terminal that is not already on the market?
As we say, the iPhone 5 is a fertile land where growing rumors and speculation. So far, we have collected a multitude of options that could eventually appear in the next phone developed by Apple. Of all these, the most have been repeated by analysts, who would ensure to have information from the bowels of Cupertino, pointing to the screen and the device processor.
It seems that we might run into a new panel to exceed four inches, apparently in contravention of all the issues that has been in circulation since 2007. The processor, in turn, would be a review of A5X integrated into the new iPad, custom designed phone with the intention that efficiently manage consumption and extending battery power than the current A5 boasts dual-core carrying the iPhone 4S.
Moreover, in the form of patents have anticipated some leaked details of what could come in the iPhone 5. Among the most interesting clues that suggest these documents include a couple of them. For starters, Apple is working on a stereoscopic imaging system, which in plain becomes the ability to record movies in three dimensions. This leads us to think that that reproduce it also display 3D content without special accessories, such as shutter glasses.
The other patent that would have been exposed points in the direction of a facial recognition system, with which the user can control device functions and which would be an evolution of what is seen in the virtual assistant Siri. For example, you could unlock the terminal with only frontal pose for the camera, a function is already known on mobile with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
Google starts selling again, moving directly. Specifically, it has launched the latest handset official: Samsung Galaxy Nexus. For now, this option is only available in the U.S., although it is possible that the initiative is carried out in other markets. It costs $ 400, about 300 euros at current exchange rates.
Not the first time that Google sells phones. Now the same thing happened when Google introduced the Nexus One, the first of the official mobile Internet giant. However, the few sales it through light this channel, made Google dismiss the option and the sale of her was based solely on mobile operators. In the case of Samsung Galaxy Nexus is available with the operator Vodafone.
However, Andy Rubin said in the official blog of the company that begins its journey back from handset sales. The price of the Nexus-Galaxy is completely free-$ 400. Moreover, if trying to enter the section of the Google Store Play where the sale is effected from outside the North American country, jumping a notice indicating that it is not possible sale. This is the case in Spain.
In addition, to promote the purchase of the terminal, Google gives ten dollars of credit in Google Wallet payment system company that uses NFC technology implanted in their terminals. This service was launched over last September, also in the United States.
On the other hand, some rumors suggest that this initiative is not only aimed at selling the best example of Google in the mobile telephony sector. And, the tablet Touch (Nexus Tablet) might be another reason for the creation of the new store in Google Play-old name for the Android Market.
And it was theoretically tablet is called to be a super sales. And not by their technical characteristics, but as has been told so far, its price would be below 200 euros, 150 euros approximately. Of course we also noted that the screen could be larger than seven inches diagonally with a maximum resolution of 1,280 x 800 pixels. Or that your processor would become an NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core.
Of course, Android 4.0 operating system would be executed within. This would be so long as in June, alleged date of the computer-not carried out the parallel presentation of the next version of the mobile platform from Google: Android 5.0. Furthermore, the manufacturer more rings until the time for its manufacture is Asus. Information bit strange knowing that Google bought Motorola in its day and could benefit in this regard. Also, the Mountain View have not confirmed anything about the possible tablet Nexus.
What seems likely is that Google could start selling its Samsung Galaxy Nexus in other countries after see how well they fare in the U.S. and see if this new online sales effort pays off. This means that this initiative could be just a pilot.
The day of the launch of Drive, the new storage service in the cloud, Google has increased the capacity from 7.5 GB Gmail up to 10 GB.

The new storage service in the cloud Google has registered more than five million downloads through Google Play Store in the first 24 hours, although it is worth noting that many of those downloads are from the Google Docs update. From now on, Docs and your choice of work of several people at once in the same document is part of Drive.
On Google Drive has been some controversy today after disseminated information that claimed that Google could use, modify or reproduce the data on your new service. The company has denied it flatly: "Google does not claim ownership or control over the content that the user stores on Google Drive. Advised to read through our terms of use."
