iPhone 5 Rumors

The release of the iPhone 4S was a huge success that its sales are sweeping its competitors by storm. Apple sold 4 million units in just three days after it was launch making it the fastest selling gadget available in the market today.

• Its 8 megapixel camera that allows users to take pictures that is equal in quality with high-end point-and-shoot cameras or even a digital SLR

• Its dual core A5 chip which makes it faster than its predecessors

• Its iCloud technology that allows the syncing of files between iOS 5 devices

• And of course the popular personal assistant, Siri, that comes with the new iOS 5 of the iPhone 4S.

These are just some of the features of the iPhone 4S that earned its title as the “Most Amazing iPhone yet.”

And so for 2012, gadget lovers and Apple fanatics are all waiting for the release of the next generation of iPhone, the iPhone 5. When iPhone 4S was launched last October, consumers are actually expecting the release of iPhone 5 but instead what they got was just an upgrade of iPhone 4, with a better camera and processor. This added to the anxiety of Apple lovers out there which makes iPhone 5 one of the top gadgets being look forward to this year.

We really can’t tell what the iPhone 5 will look like or what will be the features that will be introduced until it is release but there are a lot of rumors circulating on some of the possible features that goes with the new iPhone and here is a summary of those:

1. Apple has been consistent with the display size of their iPhones and they maintained it at only 3.5 inches even if competitors like Samsung are going for the bigger and wider display. Rumor has it that the new iPhone 5 will have a bigger display this time at 4.3 inches. The screen is said to be made by LG and will use the same material as LG’s HDTVs.

2. If Apple will be increasing the display size for the iPhone 5, it follows that the screen resolution would also increase so as not to compensate the pixel density and so it is safe to assume that a 1080×720 resolution is suitable for a 4.3 inch display.

3. iPhone 5 will be the fastest iPhone after its release as it will be utilizing a quad core A6 processor. Aside from speed, the A6 processor will also help in efficiently using the power at it said to extend battery life thus allowing 20 hours of video call by 3g and 10 hours of video call by 4g.

4. iPhone 5 is also said to be capable of 4G LTE technology, which makes video, and voice calls at lighting speed.

5. The shape of the iPhone 5 will also be longer and wider (but thinner) to accommodate the larger screen. The material that will be use for the casing is aluminum unibody as oppose to the glass that was use for iPhone 4S.

6. The new iPhone 5 will come with the new waterproof technology using Liquipel waterproof coating. The Liquipel waterproof coating will be pre-applied to the phone and it is invisible to the naked eye. This coating will really make the device water proof at it will prevent water from getting in contact with the device and all the other hardware parts inside the unit.

So when will the new iPhone be release? According to a reliable source, the iPhone 5 is already close to going into production so it is predicted to be announce in Apple’s annual developer’s conference in June and will be release in the market come July or August.

Now I am sure Apple lovers all can’t wait to have all of this rumors confirmed and have their hands on the next generation of iPhone.

Piano Restored to Original Beauty

Glad to see that our post war grand piano was beautifully repaired by my brother. Three of his kids enrolled in a music school to study piano lessons and since they will need piano for their practice my brother decided to repair our old piano not only for his kids’ usage but for sentimental purpose as well. Dad bought it after the war in the late 40’s because he wanted to sing alongside the piano. 

Though he paid a sizeable amount of money for the restoration it’s all worth it when you actually see it now. Anyway brother needs some piano hinges to support heavy loads when needed and I offered to look and canvas for him.

Strategies To Cover Unexpected Expenses

A horrifying cloud of black smoke rising from your engine. A broken bone when you haven't paid a single cent of your $1000 deductible. These are just a few unexpected events that mean huge expenses will soon be coming your way. How do you handle such catastrophes? Here are a few strategies:

Plan Ahead

This is one measure best performed in hindsight: set aside a portion of each paycheck in case something happens that requires huge payments. There are plenty of websites, books, experts and smartphone applications dedicated to getting your finances squared away. Tips include stockpiling reserves of emergency cash. Start now because you never know what could happen.

Take Out a Loan

Banks and lending companies have plenty of programs in place to help out in emergency situations. Some, like Great Plains Lending online installment loans, can help out in emergencies and can be paid back in installments instead of one brutal lump sum. This is usually the fastest and easiest option to get extra cash for a time-sensitive emergency.

Call in Favors

Remember that time you lent your best friend a few hundred dollars when times were tough, and you let your sister borrow a few more hundred when that job fell through? It's perfectly okay to ask for a return favor. Talk to friends and family, and explain the situation to see who can help out. 

Extra Jobs

Try to see if you can pick up some additional freelance work or midnight shifts. When it comes to financial emergencies, don't be too proud to turn down extra work at a place you might consider "beneath you." Money is money and work is work. 

Talk to Your Boss

If you're paid by the hour, talk to your boss and coworkers about picking up some extra shifts. If you're on good terms with your boss and feel comfortable asking for an advance on your next paycheck, do so. If you're not comfortable, or if you've asked for several advances recently, it might be best not to risk it. 

Hit the Market

Whether you go to a pawnshop or Craigslist, there's a good chance someone's willing to pay good money for something you're not using anymore. Ask around, and see if there's anything you have that someone else needs. 

Financial emergencies are by definition extremely stressful. It might seem scary at first, but you have plenty of options at the ready to solve your crisis.

Network Security and More

With the growing upsurge of high technology gadgets and innovation comes the need for a security system that will protect your business from security attacks. I learned that most companies who gave serious attention to secured network and computer operations are those large companies who basically practice automated system and highly dangerous to threats that will endanger security. We all know that any business operating on modern computers are basically prone to having spyware, worms, viruses, hacker attacks, customer data theft and other security threats.

Thus they should bear in mind that they should be protected in case there are attacks on their systems. Anyway they can ask help from it security consultants to offer them services that will protect their businesses. They were trained with a proactive approach to protect the business’ confidential and very important documents. They study the things that can affect their client’s system and plan ahead to prevent such issues.

That’s for security which I strongly believe as vital to any business. For accessibility of your business you need to advertise through online sites so you will be noticed and be known to your particular target clients. If you want to manage it properly you can optimize google adwords for better exposure of your products, more sales and more leads. Getting the services of experts in that field will ensure that your account will be properly monitored and advertising will work best for you using new search phrases.

When we talk about monitoring we should also make sure that finances are on the right track on your business. It should maintain its capital and yield profit from the invested capital money. There’s a company which will teach you several important things like accounting and management, senior living management and others. They provide assisted living software solutions that you can use on your business whether small or big.

Humble Old Folks

We’ve visited Mom’s relative in her hometown and I’m awed by the simple living the town folks are practicing especially the seniors there. I’ve noticed that no matter how rich they are they still remain modest and low profile unlike some people in the urban areas who acts differently from their status n life. Old rural folks are different from the ones I met here in our town and I’m glad that my relatives in Laguna stay as humble as ever even if their success is very evident in their houses with sprawling plantations.

I would not be surprised if they will include some really nice outdoor gazebos which is so nice to have and maintain in vast outdoor areas with scenic view. With nice gazebo furniture spending lazy afternoon outdoors will be so fun and relaxing especially with swimming pool on the side. Perfect! I would love one for our home also.

Contact Keypad Alarm System

Times are getting dangerous and as I'm browsing techy gadgets I came to see this very affordable contact keypad alarm system from cdrking, the store I frequent for my computer and camera accessories.  I always have need for cds, memury card, flash drives, etc. and it's the most accessible and convenient store for shopping those things.  Anyway I really want to add this one to our house because Mom is beginning to fear intruders including people who delivered letters, billing and others.  Sometimes he doesn't want to entertain them or she'll talk but for less than a minute only, maybe old people are really like that.

Anyway this one can be easily mounted by adhesive tape to your cabinet, window or door. and has the following features:

With Panic Alarm button
Magnetic sensor switch
Requires 2 x AA batteries (not included)
With Secret Number Password
Present Password: 0000 (for secret number)

The magnetic sensor can easily detect when someone is opening a window, cabinet and door.  When the sensor detects the opening it will give out a signal to the main unit which will then gives out alarm sound.   Quite simple but very effective and helpful and I'm going to try and buy one for us.  It only cost PhP120.00.  Good buy!
