How To Create iPhone Application yourself

1. Have An Idea – A Good Idea How do you know if your idea is a good one? The first step is to even care if your idea is solid; and the second step is to answer the question does it have at least one of the indicators of success? Does your app solve a unique problem? Before the light bulb was invented, somebody had to shout out “Man, reading by candlelight sucks!” Figure out what sucks, and how your app can make the life of its user more comfortable. Does the app serve a specific niche? Though there aren’t any stats on the App Store search, the usage of applications is certainly growing with the explosion of App Store inventory. Find a niche with ardent fans (pet lovers, for example) and create an app that caters to a specific audience. Does it make people laugh? This is a no-brainer. If you can come up with something funny, you are definitely on the right track and your idea may be the golden one. Heck, I hit a red “do not press” button for 5 minutes yesterday. Are you building a

Android Security Apps

Apps . Thanks to the fact that the Android operating system allows for broader multitasking than that other popular smartphone OS , Android devices are able to support a wide range of mobile security functionality that runs in the background on an ongoing basis, such as automated backups and virus scanning. Still, it’s worth keeping in mind that the most essential security precautions for your Android device, like password-protecting the device itself and setting it to auto-lock after a specified period of time, don’t require an app – both of those features can be accessed within Settings -> Location & Security. And with the arrival of Android 2.2 , Android devices now offer several unlock options, including a numeric PIN, a password or a graphical pattern (the last of which was recently found to be easily compromised, according to researchers at the University of Pennsylvania). If you want to take your device’s password protection one step further, apps like App P

HOW TO DETECT A BUG ON CELL PHONE

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you, right? In a society that has shown an increasing disdain for privacy, the threat of electronic surveillance is a rare, but very real, possibility. Unfortunately, the spy game is one into which powerful parties have put decades of research and millions of dollars. This means that there is no cure-all. There are countermeasures and countermeasures to the countermeasure. Layer upon layer of deceit and technology stand between the party conducting surveillance and the party being surveilled. Therefore any steps toward uncovering a listening device can only begin with a caveat: If they are truly determined to hear you, you will probably never know. However, that shouldn't stop anyone from trying. A few steps can help you determine whether or not your home is under surveillance. Instructions 1. Using headphones, go slowly through your radio dial and listen for uniform distortion. Bleeps or recurring

windows 7 system restore

Why Use System Restore? After you install software it makes changes to the registry or delete files, and sometimes you may even modify some settings knowingly or unknowingly. It is possible that the system may start crashing or become unstable. If that happens you can undo all this changes and restore the system to earlier time by using System Restore Utility. What does System restore do? It is like undo.It puts your computer back to a previous state of use that was available before you had problems. It does this by periodically taking a snapshot of your system. These snapshots are called restore points. Restores points are created when you make any significant changes, like adding new applications or installing a driver. But you can also manually create restore points. The upshot is that these Restore points can help you restore the whole system back to a previous post. Problems with System Restore in Previous Versions of Windows Both XP and Vista had similar issues with

How to control the page numbering in a Word document

Word's page numbering scheme isn't directly obvious but it isn't needlessly complex, either. Indirect might be a good term for it. Once you understand how it works, all sorts of possibilities open up. Unfortunately, the built-in tools that simplify the insertion of page numbers also happen to make it more difficult to tell what's really going on. So, for the moment, forget everything you've learned or think you know about page numbers. Let's start at the beginning, since it won't take too long . . . First some background, consisting of four big ideas: Big Idea #1 A new blank document consists of a single section. Each time you insert a Section Break into the document, the document gains a section. In other words, if you create a new blank document, then choose Break on the Insert menu and select a Next Page Section Break, the document will thereafter consist of two sections: Material from the start of the document up through and including the b

Getting Your Laptop Card Reader to Read 4GB SD Cards

It's interesting to notice that although this little trick was initially designed to get a HP notebook to read the card, it works perfectly well with other brands as well and the proof is that I've used it ona Vaio. This is because there are many units out there incorporating a Texas Instruments card reader. The first step of this operation is to download the driver. Here's the link to Softpedia's drivers database or you can go directly to HP . The second thing you need to do is to remove the existing Texas Instrument driver using Windows add/remove. The OS might want you to reboot, but don't click yes. Now it's time to run the installer previously downloaded. You now have to go to the location (C:SWSetupSP33416BaseprogramfilesTexas Instruments IncTIPCI) with all the extracted files and to right click on the file tifm21.inf; choose install. Before going any further, you might want to try and insert the 4GB card into the reader; sometimes it works jus

NTFS mount denied in ubuntu

Install the package 'ntfsprogs' - it's in the Ubuntu repositories. That will install a number of ntfs command line utilities. One of them is ntfsfix. If you run this it might fix the filesystem, but you may also need to run chkdsk from Windows. See 'man ntfsfix': ntfsfix is a utility that fixes some common NTFS problems. ntfsfix is NOT a Linux version of chkdsk. It only repairs some fundamental NTFS inconsistencies, resets the NTFS journal file and schedules an NTFS consistency check for the first boot into Windows.

very Fast Hard Drive Performance

In this article, I review various hard drives (HDDs) and various hard drive configurations, particularly RAID 0 configurations for attaining top performance and data transfer speeds with inexpensive hardware. Furthermore, some drive controllers will be reviewed and compared. You may be thinking how you can improve the performance of your own desktop, workstation, or small business server? Or, you may be considering how you can improve the performance of your current hard drives. You may be surprised that you can improve performance without spending a fortune. First, you may like to review what hard drives and drive controllers you currently have. List the drives, make, model number, and the same for the drive controller. Next, you can search via Google or others search sites and find the specification details of those particular drives, such as some of the more important being interface type (IDE, SATA), rotatio
