iOS News – Device adoption rate

Mobile / Technology

iOS 8 is being adopted quite quickly on iPhone 5 – (about 20% now and as long as you have 1GB space for download and approximately 5GB space for install). As usual, the updates will come quickly to Apple devices but as of right now, iOS 7 is still the most used version. Will keep you guys posted after a month or so.

iPhone 6 UX reviews from everywhere

Mobile

What defines a great User Experience design? In one short sentence, it is “whether it simply works or it simply does not.” Many iPhone users are loyal to their devices simply because they feel that it works. While some pundits may bemoan using two hands and the ever-so-slight fragmentation that will inevitably occur due to the different resolutions between the 4.7″ and 5.5″ variants – it remains to be seen if it will be enough to topple the UX of iPhone. Perhaps a closer look should be paid on the exact feature that makes iPhone UX such a firm favorite among Apple users.

Who is U2?

Mind

I would think that U2 wouldn’t really want to brag that they have “the largest album release ever” when it was an auto (forced) download to every iTunes account.  That’s just bullshit. But then again, they are U2 – they don’t really care, do they?

They’re paid USD $100 million by Apple. Seriously,  Apple what were you thinking?  http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/music/u2-free-album-verdict-is-in–an-epic-fail-that-could-cost-dearly-20140917-10i2yc.html

This article is true on all points. http://www.forbes.com/sites/bobbyowsinski/2014/09/18/analyzing-apples-u2-mistake/

A colleague of mine typed out “who is you two?” on Google cause he really didn’t know U2. They were a great band – keyword here is “were“. They are an aging rock band now who – God forbid – may think that they are known by everyone now but that may not necessarily be a fact now.

I am just for knowledge and sharing

Mind / Technology

A lot of people assume that I am anti-Apple. No I am not. Never was. I am though not ashamed to say, pro Google.

Too much technology

Technology

A big chunk of my life is spent online – consuming information.  Emails, useless information, social media – non stop endless streams of media. It is an addiction, definitely but it is also a tool.

Hangouts get VoIP

Technology

So Google Hangouts get Voice (VoIP) when we thought it was on it’s way out.  Amit Fulay, Google’s product manager of Hangouts : “We want to emphasize people. The mode you use simply depends on the urgency level. We have text, video and voice. But that’s not where you start; you start with the person.”. If that’s where you are heading #Google, that’s great news for us the consumers.

Tech was always about  scratching an itch. But ultimately it is about the “Person” not the technology.

Sept. 10th is the Internet Slowdown

Mind / Technology

If you have not realised it yet. The internet is slow-on purpose – today. Why? Because we are on protest for an open internet. US, you are getting way too bureaucratic and have obviously lost your way. You still have a chance to get your act back together before it’s too late. Let’s not let the almighty dollar ruin the original intent of the Internet.

How do i reduce stress?

Mind

A pretty common question for a lot of us: ‘How do I reduce stress – because I’m sure that’s creating muscle pain for me…’

They’re supplements, not replacements.

Nutrition

Supplements are just that – they “supplement” your food. They were never there to replace  food. If you are not eating whole foods and just using supplements – you are losing out what whole foods can provide.

What is our deepest fear?

Mind

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It’s not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
– Timo from Coach Carter
