Technology and Meditation

We adapt ourselves to the ever evolving technology. Technology has multifold benefits in our daily lives. What draws us to these technological upgradations? Is it the ease of life or a fad….?

Aren’t most of us eagerly waiting for the launch of Nokia 920 or excited to buy IPhone 5 or eager to upgrade the anti-virus software in our laptops.

Let me share a secret with you today. A secret which is closely related to “technology†. How many passwords do you have? Multiple right? Let me tell you a secret which will become your password for “life management†.

So are you ready for the secret to be revealed?

Have you ever wondered if you had a delete button which could delete all the negativity and bad memories of your life? An invisible button which you could access anytime anywhere?

Sitting for 10 minutes silence everyday can burn past impressions of our mind and make our memory bank fresh. Just like we have refresh button on our keyboards, meditation has the power to refresh our brain and delete useless data for a clutter free space. Meditation leads to emotional stability, anxiety decrease, anger reduce, happiness increase, intuition development, clarity and peace of mind.

We all have mastered the tools of communication like mobiles, face time, Skype, video conferencing. Meditation is the subtlest tool of communication with our inner self. When in deep meditation we can explore the secrets of the inner world and get answers to all our questions. When the mind is rested it expands and solutions are easily available. Meditation brings harmony in creation, personal transformation, and realization of SELF.

We feel rejuvenated through social networking with our friends on Facebook and twitter. Regular practitioners of meditation have a pleasant presence which wins them friends in real life. Meditation has the power of making us relaxed and appealing to others. The relationships nurtured in real life get more satisfaction than only virtual world friends. The effects of meditation include happiness, respect for the environment and others, appreciation of diversity in nature,and a strong sense of social values.

Meditation is the pause button of life which enables us to be the observer rather than the doer. This pause is essential in our fast paced lives as we often get off track and stressed. During these voluntary pauses of meditation our blood pressure lowers, immune system improves, body vitality increases, insomnia gets controlled. Meditation develops happiness, contentment and calmness.

Meditation is the anti-virus which should be used every day to cool down our nerves and start fresh with zest and zeal to discover our hidden potential. When the mind is bombarded with too many thoughts and confusion clouds the mind, meditation can be used like an anti-virus to free the mind of these problems.

Thus Meditation is also a technology of being in the centre and living the present moment. When the mind settles down, it lets go of all tension, making one healthy and focussed. Meditation is the answer to all our modern age problems. Meditation can make you calm, enthusiastic and smile like a child. Initially one can start with guided meditation tapes and then learn proper meditation techniques from a Master.

Top 3 Features Of Iphone 5 For Iphone Application Developers

Since Apple launched its first iPhone in 2007, it brought about a revolution in the mobile industry. From there onwards mobile are not just used for calling; the mobiles are now Smart phones. Now, with the advent of iPhone 5, Apple has again set the floor on fire. The new version of the iPhone family has so much to offer. The gadget is packed with impeccable features. Here are the top five features that iPhone 5 has concealed for iPhone application developers . 1.The wide 4 inch screen The earlier versions of the iPhone had 3.5 inch screen, but iPhone 5 gifts you a half inch more. So, with the wide 4 inch screen, iPhone 5 offers 1136×640 pixels and a little more space for Home screen icons. Further, the display of the respective version of the iPhone has a built-in digitizer that makes it thinner, in fact much thinner. If compared with 4S, then the colors are quite more saturated, but the brightness and contrast are same. The big screen has made the task of the iPhone developers tad difficult, as now they need to develop applications that fit the resolution of the wide screen. However, there is a plus point, with a little more of efforts, the developers can gift high resolutions applications that their users would adore. Bigger screen means more visibility and if the developers win the game of matching the pixels, then users will make a point to knock their doorstep for further application developments. 2.Super fast performance The speed of iPhone 5 is simply way higher than the earlier versions. Whether you are downloading an application or a web page, clicking a picture or shooting a video, the gadget works at a lightning fast speed. In addition to this, if you were all satisfied with the graphic performance of 4S, then iPhone 5s graphic performance will surely knock off your socks. It is double than the 4S and thus, enhances the gaming experience. Developers can take high advantage of this feature and can develop applications and games accordingly. The lightening fast speed helps the developers in offer a better application and thus, adds gold coins in their account. 3. Wi-Fi and 4G iPhone 5 supports 4G and Wi-Fi, in fact the gadget has improved Wi-Fi support with a dual-band 802.11n radio. Thus, with iPhone 5, it is compatible hotspots and wireless routers and can be easily connected on either 4GHz or 5GHz. This easy internet support will further support various applications that a developer would render as his service. Thus, the developer doesnt need to think twice of internet support, as it is already settled in iPhone 5.

IPhone 5 Leaked Accidentally (or on Purpose?)

Here’s something new – oh wait, no it isn’t. Leaked photos of up-and-coming hot products are nothing new. In fact, it happens all the time. Movies are leaked on the Internet before they are released. That bit of that one awful Stephanie Meyer book was leaked. It happens all the time.

Pictures of the new iPhone have supposedly surfaced now, approximately one month before Apple’s supposed release of the product. (Maybe they just want product attention when they release it? Or am I speaking in conspiracy theories here?)

See the pictures here (they have even circled all the key parts for you to pay attention to. Isn’t that nice?)

Supposedly, somehow several (yes, several) iPhone repairs and parts companies now have it in their possession. (Wonder if Stevie knows about all this. Actually, wonder if Stevie put ’em all up to this.) But hey, it’s got to be better than leaving an iPhone 5 prototype drunkenly in a bar, right?

According to the techies, this chassis that was supposedly left at one bar and is now in the hands of several repair companies looks remarkably similar to an iPhone 4 but isn’t quite the same (a la new model, anyone?).

The theories abound, but two popular speculations about the new iPhone 5 seem to think that something called an “antennaegate” problem has been fixed and that the iPhone 5 will somehow be available to Verizon customers. Again, the techies tell all and support theory number one while shooting theory number two down, saying that there appears to be a place for a SIM card.

More info from the techies also reveals a theory about the two cameras (why does anyone need two cameras on a phone the size of a hand?), and they speculate that Apple has either done away with one camera – or that their technology is now so good that the camera needs less infrastructure (less infrastructure doesn’t mean invisible the last time I checked).

Also, apparently, if we have learned anything after last year’s leak of the iPhone 4 (what did I tell you? I swear it’s a marketing gimmick), then we should all know that Steve Jobs isn’t going to say one peep about this new iPhone 5 until he’s darn good and ready to. I guess we had all just better cross our fingers and hope he says something soon. I know how anticipatory we all are to have some light shed on yet another iPhone that looks “remarkably similar” to every other iPhone – ever.

How will we all ever survive without knowing for sure? Oh, the horror! Oh, please make it stop. Oh – you’re still reading? I’m sorry to keep you. I know it will be hard, but go try to enjoy your life without knowing for certain about the iPhone 5 for another month.

Did parts from a new iPhone model appear (briefly) on YouTube? and well, all over the world wide web.

Apple iPad App Development Company

Pre-2007, there was no such thing as an iPhone, and the word smart phone left a lot to be desired. Now, several iterations later it is the darling of the phone industry. Even more surprising, is the fact that when the original iPhone was first launched-the app store did not exist. Therefore in 2007, the job of iPhone application developer, did not exist-nor did the idea of there being such a thing as an iPhone application development company. Nowadays you can find iPhone application development companies in the UK, the USA and a whole proliferation developers in India, Pakistan and the Philippines. Apple recently announced (although not officially) that the number of applications available for download on the app store, had surpassed half a million. This is a mind blowing figure in comparison to the time when I had an Acorn electron computer, and had only about five games to choose from. This is amazing progress, and has taken only 34 months for the number of apps to reach this level. An absolute master class in iPhone application development, must come from the application Angry Birds, which spent 275 days at number one in the charts. Although most people perceive applications to be cheap, only 27% of all applications cost $.99.it’s amazing to think that 10 billion applications have been downloaded to date. In contrast, Android application developers should be interested to hear that even though the application market has 300,000 applications available for download, they have succeeded in 3 billion downloads in arguably a shorter period of time. If you are thinking of developing an application, you should be aware that you will have significant competition from all over the world. Addictive games, which start out simple, but get more complex-are often the most successful form of games to develop.To understand the overwhelming dominance of angry birds in comparison to other iPhone applications are being developed, the number two spot in the iTunes store belongs to the Moron test which has spent 38 days at number one. Number 10 is owned by Camera Zoom Three which spent 22 days at number one. The difference between a ghastly successful and unsuccessful application, is vast. You’ll find many applications that have been developed for thousands and thousands of pounds, which have be downloaded three times, and all of those two members of the developers family. Designing an application is like producing a film: you can have the best course, Best cinematography and the best reviews, but it doesn’t mean you will get more money back then you put in. Taking into account the cost of iPhone application development in the UK, it’s very important that if you develop a very, very expensive iPhone application, you better have either deep pockets, or a very good idea.

The Best Features Of Installous On Cydia

There could be a 10 page list about all of the great features that come along with downloading installous on Cydia; however, a narrowed list of all of the best features would be more effective. Many people install Installous on Cydia solely for the majority of these features, but unfortunately there is still a long list of iPhone and iPod touch users that do not know about all of these amazing features. It is also a sad fact that there are many myths about this amazing jailbreak program that are circulating in the iPhone and iPod touch society; false facts such as “the program causing viruses on your device”, or “Apple being able to track your location and get you arrested” are heard commonly throughout forums and discussions. However, as an experienced jailbroken iPhone and iPod touch user, I can tell you that installous on Cydia has none of these above problems. It still has some flaws, just like every other program in the world; however, its best features far outweigh the minor flaws that it possesses.

How to Find an iPhone App Development Company in Pune

The mobile market is the most competitive field right now, especially for the iPhone. With superior functionalities, exciting features and promising user interface, it has completely turned around the mobile market upside down. The number of iPhone users is increasing rapidly and so are the applications. To meet this growing demand, we need to find the best iPhone app development company in Pune.

Creating a Smartphone application is not everyone’s cup of tea. It takes a highly dedicated team of professionals to get this work done. With so many IT firms and freelancers to choose from, it can get really difficult to shortlist the best iPhone app development company in Pune. To help you with this, here are some reasonable points that one should consider while hiring a company for designing and developing Smartphone apps.

The first and the most important point to focus on, is the Company’s Experience. Make sure you know the answer to all these questions before shortlisting any company.

  1. For how long a company has been involved in the application development process?
  2. How many apps have been designed by the developers so far?
  3. Are the applications being well received by the target audience?

    These are some queries that will help you in knowing the overall experience of an iPhone app development company in Pune.

    In case any IT firm claims that they have designed several iPhone applications that are well received in the market and are available on the Apple Store, ask them to show the Portfolio or Screenshots. And in case such apps are located on the internet, you can take a look there also and confirm if the company is capable of making well designed applications. To transform an idea into an app, in-depth knowledge of iPhone SDK is required. Having a great team of skilled developers will be a plus point for your requirements. So make sure that the company you are about to hire has a great team of skilled developers who are well versed in the SDK. There are millions of apps listed on Apple store that are being used by iPhone users across the globe. To come up with a unique and acceptable concept for designing an app, creativity is required. A company with a team of creative minds and skilled developers can possibly implement the imaginary ideas into realistic applications as per your requirements.

    Also, keep it in mind that the company you are approaching should be in the application development sector for more than 2 years. This ensures the stability, productivity and market value of the company, which is important to know from the customer’s point-of-view. The growing popularity of iPhone applications has kept customers wanting more. Therefore to prove their ability and quality of work, an iPhone app development company in Pune has to keep all these points in mind.

  4. How skilled the programmers/developers are?

FreedomPop offering 1GB of free wireless data, hopes you’ll pay for more

Free Wifi (password: 1a2b3c4d5e)

Sick of paying out the nose for wireless data? Well, one enterprising startup may have an option for you: FreedomPop, a wireless service set to roll out in July and September, wants to offer you 1GB worth of 4G WiMAX and LTE wireless data service absolutely free.

The service operates on a “freemium” basis — certain aspects, like the 1GB of data, are free.  If you go over the 1GB allotment, you will be charged a fee estimated to be in the range of 1 cent per megabyte. You can also pay for more data in advance, and features will exist where you can share some free data with other users.

FreedomPop will offer three different flavors of broadband: a USB dongle that allows you to connect your computer to the internet, a WiFi hotspot device, and an iPhone case that allows you to override the phone’s existing network and use it as a FreedomPop hotspot. All three will require you pay a refundable deposit.

While FreedomPop isn’t the first company to try a free wireless data model — you can currently get free service from NetZero — they are the first to up the ante to offer 1GB for free. There are some major drawbacks, however. FreedomPop will be using Clearwire’s network, so the range of the free wireless service will be limited to the 70 major cities currently serviced. Still, if you’re interested in giving the freemium service a whirl (and live in or near a major city), you can pre-register for FreedomPop on their website.
