Three free iPhone apps help keep you healthy | www.goodlaptopbattery.co.uk

If you're like me, you're pretty good about exercising and eating right at home, but all your good habits go out the window when you travel. But on a recent 10-day trip, I found three free iPhone apps (two of which are also available for other smartphone platforms) invaluable for keeping me healthy.

One big hurdle to staying fit on the road is finding a place to exercise. Sure, hotels often have workout rooms or pools, but they can feel a bit creepy. Even walking or jogging outdoors can be difficult or unsafe. As an urban dweller, I'm always appalled at the dearth of sidewalks in America's suburbs and smaller cities. And while most larger cities do have sidewalks, it's easy to wander into unsafe areas when you're on unfamiliar ground.

That's why I'm so delighted with the Nike Training Club app Symbol MC9060 battery hp nc6400 battery . It offers nearly a hundred exercises organized into dozens of 15- to 45-minute workouts, many of which require no weights or other equipment and can be done pretty much anywhere.

Not sure how to do a "Crazy Ivan"? You can watch a short video demo of each exercise for the proper form. And rather than being forced to listen to someone else's annoying music, you choose a playlist or album from your own iTunes library to accompany each workout.

I found it easy and fun to do these quick workouts in my hotel room and friends' guest rooms on my trip -- a great way to counteract the next big travel pitfall: food.

Whether you're at a business conference or on a family visit, people are constantly plying you with unhealthy snacks, alcoholic drinks, buffet breakfasts, dessert at lunchtime and other calorie-fests. You don't want to seem ungrateful, of course, so you indulge way more than you would at home. Even if you stick to semi-healthy choices, the sheer quantity and frequency of Compaq nc6400 battery Dell inspiron 9400 battery it can make the calories add up more quickly than you realize.

Despite its silly name, MyFitnessPal is a huge help here. While there's a bit more emphasis than I'd like on "losing weight" as opposed to "eating right," this calorie counter does show basic nutritional information for the foods you eat.

Just enter everything you eat into the app, and it searches its vast database to find likely matches, along with the caloric and nutritional intake for each. Same goes for exercise: From gardening to kayaking, you'll find a slew of exercises in MyFitnessPal's database, along with the corresponding number of calories burned per minute.

If you keep up with it throughout the day, you can see at a glance how many calories you've netted -- a nice reminder that maybe you shouldn't try all four desserts at the buffet table -- and whether you need, say, more vitamin C or potassium. And unlike many other calorie counter apps, MyFitnessPal can be used when you don't have a cell or Wi-Fi signal. In addition to iOS, the app is available for Android and BlackBerry.

Finally, it's often hard to get a good night's sleep when you're travelling. There may be time-zone differences to contend with, not to mention a host of strange sounds that keep startling you awake. I've found that a little white noise goes a long way in helping me sleep away from home.

Enter TMSoft's White Noise Lite app, which offers 10 soothing sounds including waves crashing, rain pouring and crickets chirping. Truth be told, I didn't find all the sounds soothing, and there are other white noise apps out there that offer many more sounds -- but as far as I'm concerned, I just need one sound that works for me.

Unlike some white noise apps Dell vostro 1310 battery Dell studio xps 1645 battery , White Noise Lite can keep playing the sound even when the app is minimized; I found it useful to be able to do one last task in a different app without having to stop and restart the white noise. If you like, you can set timers to stop the sound during the night and play an alarm in the morning.

TMSoft also offers for-pay versions of White Noise for iOS with more sounds and configuration options, as well as an array of similar apps for Android, BlackBerry, Windows Phone and webOS.

So, far from making me stupid, my iPhone helped keep me active and well-rested on the road.

The Reasons Why You Choose Linux?

Why Linux? The user who is looking for a complete and simple desktop operating system that allows them to get work done efficiently and doesn’t get in the way—why would that person choose Linux? Why should you choose Linux?

I started using Linux because it made my job easier and because it was a fun toy. At the time, (about 8 years ago), I wouldn’t have recommended desktop Linux to any average user. In the time since, I’ve seen Linux evolve in so many different directions.

There was a time when Linux Compaq nc4200 battery Asus a32-f5 battery was the hardcore hacker’s operating system, but now it’s popular amongst students, home users, small businesses, artists, home office users and hackers alike. If you fit into any of those categories, Linux could be for you.

As Linux got simpler to use, communities of users grew around it. Every major urban area has a Linux Users Group (LUG), and Canada has some of the best: GTA Lug, Ottawa LUG, Montreal LUG, Vancouver LUG, Calgary LUG, Edmonton LUG. Although I recommend everyone start with Ubuntu (check out my article on trying Ubuntu under Windows), LUG communities really are a great way to find out about your options. Try Googling the LUG in your city.

Simultaneously, one of the best and worst things about Linux is choice. Because Linux is free and open source software, there are many many flavours of it. Unlike Windows, which exclusively belongs to Microsoft, or MacOS which belongs to Apple Apple a1189 battery Toshiba pa3533u-1brs battery , Linux doesn’t belong to anyone (or, belongs to everyone depending how you look at it). So, many companies or communities package it according to their tastes. (As of this writing, distrowatch.com is tracking nearly 700 distributions.)

Not only does one have choice with the Linux distributions itself, but the software traditionally packaged as part of a Linux desktop (media players, office productivity, graphics, etc) often come in similar variety.

With so much confusion, why bother?

So back to the question: why use Linux? Well…

1. Choice is good: You’ll soon learn to wade through your options quickly. However, having such control over your environment has a large impact on your work-flow and productivity. The steeper learning curve pays off big-time.

2. Ultimate security: Linux is safer than Windows or MacOS. A lot of that is simply because there are fewer viruses, but the system is more secure in principal as well.

3. Better driver support out of the box: Don’t you hate spending hours installing drivers after a fresh Windows install? Most of your hardware should work out of the box on popular Linux distributions.

4. It’s more complete: Out of the box, most distributions come with professional quality office productivity, graphics software, and alike. You don’t have to fool around installing things after a reformat.

5. Package management: The keystone of any Linux distribution is a package management system. Unlike Win and Mac, if you want more software, you browse through a catalogue and have a 1-click install.

6. Unified updates: This is really part of package management, but it’s important enough to be mentioned on its own. When you do a software update, it updates all of your software in one go. No need for Adobe updater, Firefox updater, Windows Live update, Java update,…

7. More dynamic: There’s always something new in the Linux Compaq nc6000 battery Hp probook 4510s battery scene for those feeling adventurous. Also, bugs are quickly fixed since the gap between user and developer is quite thin. The Linux development model is driven by the user experience.

8. Better support: Support for Win and Mac is expensive. The Linux community is incredibly friendly and helpful. Almost any problem is never more than a Google search from being fixed, but if you need to, there’s always someone to ask. (In many cases, you are free to ask the actual developer!)

9. More stable: Crash less, and almost never reformat. Linux is designed to run for months, even years at a time with minimal maintenance.

10. PDF creation and editing: Most distributions support PDF creation out of the box. A few mouse clicks will get you a pdf editor too.

11. MS Office support out of the box:LibreOffice or OpenOffice ship with almost all distributions of Linux, and both support editing and saving MS office documents.

I can’t leave out the most important reason for anyone to use Linux: the more people we have using it, the better it becomes. Linux has grown so much in just the past few years, and every year it grows faster. Ubuntu really got the ball rolling, and now Google (a la Android) has made Linux mainstream as a mobile platform. It is an irrepressible part of the ever progressing technology landscape.

Why Brands like Twitter and Apple are Deeply influence our life?

Yesterday, Bill Keller of the New York Times struck a nerve with his post on the Twitter trap he laid a few days prior; particularly the way it eats into its users' “normal” social interactions and its potential to "make you stupid." Responses from Twitter's loyalists across the web were swift, thorough, and at times brash – the type of knee-jerk reactions you can only get when people care more deeply for something than most would care to admit.

Quite frankly, I was one of them.

It's a strange sort of fanaticism, especially when you take a step back and realize that, all things considered, you're really only barking about a Compaq nc6400 battery Panasonic EY9251 battery product. It begets all sorts of defensive stances, ranging from frumpy indignation (“Bill Keller is stupid”) to highly thought-out dissertations.

A new BBC documentary, The Secrets of Superbrands (which we wrote about earlier) explores the relationships between megabrands like Twitter, Apple and Google, taking a look at the rabid loyalty they inspire. The first episode of the series enlisted a team of neuroscientists to take a look the mind of Alex Brooks, the editor of World of Apple who says he spends 24 hours a day thinking about the manufacturer's products.

In the experiment, they hooked Brooks' brain to an MRI scanner and showed him various images of Apple and non-Apple products to elicit a synaptic response.

The scan revealed that “[t]he Apple products Dell latitude e6400 battery Dell vostro 1310 battery are triggering the same bits of [Brooks'] brain as religious imagery triggers in a person of faith.” As one scientists puts it, “This suggests that the big tech brands have harnessed, or exploit, the brain areas that have evolved to process religion.”

It's a startling – if disturbing – notion to think that we're at the whims of the megabrands' marketing teams, hard-wired to care about something in a way that's as powerful as our personal convictions. Aren't they just products?

More related business you maybe like:

But the internet's fiery backlash to Keller's assertions about Twitter yesterday seem to only confirm what we don't want to believe: We really do care.

It raises an interesting question: Is placing faith in a product – especially a piece of technology – necessarily a bad thing? “Brand loyalty” is one of those terms first year MBA students like to throw around that looks great in a PowerPoint presentation, but – at least I'd like to believe – we're not as blindly dumb as a study like this paints us to be.

We can weigh evidence and make sound decisions as to whether something really benefits us or not. Apple's cultish following often invites finger wagging from PC users, but isn't that just another form of brand loyalty? This knee-jerk loyalty is – on a subconscious level – likely another way to reinforce what works for us personally, so that we're not wasting active thoughts on something that doesn't.

Smartphone Review - Samsung Galaxy S II Second coming

Review Sometimes the Mark II versions of phones feel like they’ve had little more than a light skim with the update brush. Yet with the Samsung Galaxy S II, this is certainly not the case. While, the original Galaxy S was a fine handset, this latest refit includes dual core processor, stunning AMOLED screen, a fine 8Mp camera, over-air syncing and more, all packed within one of the slimmest enclosures you’re likely to come across.

Second coming: Samsung Galaxy S II

The handset measures 125 x 66 x 8.5mm, which almost makes it feel more like a stretched out playing card than a top-of-the-range Android smartphone. Not only is it very slim, at 115g it’s very light too, though part of that can be attributed to the rather flimsy plastic back panel.

The front mostly consists of a single sheet of glass, surrounded by a thin metal rim, with a single hard home button at the Acer as07b31 battery Acer batbl50l6 battery bottom. Pressing it kicks the screen into life and reveals a touch sensitive button on either side: back and menu, but no Android search button.

On the sides are a slimline volume rocker and power button, with a 3.5mm headphone jack on top and a micro USB power/sync slot on the bottom. Indeed, everything is where it should be, although there’s no hard camera shutter button.

Technically speaking, the 4.3in screen’s 480 x 800-pixel resolution may not be quite as sharp as the iPhone’s 640 x 960, but in use, you’d hardly notice. It looks great, with extremely vibrant colours and very bright too, which helps when you’re looking at it in sunlight, along with its very wide viewing angle too. The screen’s not just a pretty face either, since it’s admirably sensitive, distinguishing between brushes and presses with ease.

Slim, for sure

The Galaxy S II is one of the growing band of dual core handsets, intended to deliver ultra-fast processing leading to more complex gaming, super smooth hi-res film viewing and advanced multi-tasking, despite the potential to exact a heavy toll on the battery life.

Background tasks

Sure enough, the handset feels very fast, with virtually no sign of lag when switching between apps. There are still occasional signs of slowness when browsing the web, of course, but that’s more to do with the Acer aspire 5520 battery Acer aspire 6935g battery quality of internet connection rather than processing power.

Readers' Hub

But as with LG’s Optimus 2X, while the Galaxy S II's 1.2GHz processor is fast, it’s not shockingly faster than its 1GHz single core predecessor. Until you realise that you haven’t had to shut any apps down for a while and you’ve still got several whizzing away in the background without any sign of slowing down. Only then does it become abundantly clear that something different is going on, no doubt helped by its 1GB RAM.

There was no problem with call quality, which always came through with crystal clarity. It’s running Android 2.3 Gingerbread – strictly speaking it’s 2.3.3 rather than 2.3.4 – so it’s lacking native video chat for now, though an update is likely. And, as usual, Samsung has introduced a few interface tweaks to make it its own. The latest TouchWiz 4.0 has the distinctive Samsung look, but also adds some extra apps, including four ‘Hubs’ which group linked apps and functions together for convenience: Social, Music, Game and Reader.

The social hub pulls all your networking updates (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn) together into a single feed – something no smartphone can do without these days, and it does a perfectly good job of it too.

The Game Hub features some extra games but it needs a bit of development to mark it out as an improvement on what you can get from the standard Android Dell d630 battery Dell wr050 battery Market. The Reader Hub, meanwhile, gives you access to books from Kobo, newspapers from PressDisplay and magazines from Zinio, which is a decent offering overall, as well as the option to download e-Book apps, such as Amazon’s Kindle, from the Market. PIC

Games Hub

The Music Hub powered by 7digital gives you quick access to MP3 downloads, which is fine, but it’s not connected directly to the Android music player – so if you want to play your own stored music, you’ll have to come out of it and load up a different player. There’s plenty of room for tracks though, with 8GB of memory on board which you can boost by another 32GB using the microSD memory card.

Photo call

Samsung has shown in the past that it can make a decent camera, and such is the case with the 8Mp snapper here offering a good range of shooting and scene modes, including macro and action shot, plus handy features like face and blink detection and anti-shake.

Android photography woes of old are a thing of the past with this 8Mp camera

Picture quality is generally good, with nice sharp edges and good colour balance. Colours can look a little over-emphasised on screen but never appear washed out. When you’re viewing your gallery it throws up some random pics in the background – a nice touch, and a gentle nod of the head to Windows Phone 7.

It can record HD video too at up to 1920 x 1080, which you’ll only find on dual core handsets, which looks crisp and generally smooth. There’s also a 2Mp camera on the front in preparation for video chat, when it becomes available with the next operating system update.

Web pages render well with text flowing neatly. Besides, the now standard pinch to zoom there’s a new trick to browsing too – with the motion sensor on, you can hold two points on the screen and then simply tilt back or forwards to zoom in or out. Incidentally, you can use the motion sensor when adding widgets and shortcuts to each of the seven home pages too – press and hold on an icon, then tilt left or right to find the page you want to put it on.

Samsung Kies desktop sync application

Syncing is performed with Samsung’s Dell inspiron 6400 battery Dell studio 1555 battery Kies software which works fine once you get the hang of its iTunes-style structure, although its Windows-only. There’s also Kies Air, which allows you to sync using a Wi-Fi link. Slightly awkwardly, this involves getting an IP address from the app, then typing it into a browser, which then gives you the option to swap media, stream music from your phone and send text messages.

Sample Shots

Daylight savings

There’s no separate HDMI slot for direct digital connection to your TV, although Samsung's optional MHL micro USB adapter performs this task. However, out of the box, you can use the DLNA capability allows you to connect wirelessly to your home network and stream your pics and vids that way.

Niftiness comes at a price: dual core handsets inevitably drain battery power more quickly

Other useful apps Hp pavilion dv9000 battery Symbol 21-61261-01 battery include the Task Manager, which gives you extra control of what apps you’re running so you can preserve battery life. With Polaris Office you can create and edit Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents, and while it’s not quite the full Microsoft Office shilling, it gets the job done.

Talking of which, the powerful processor and the temptation to keep apps running does tend to hit the battery, and I never managed to get a full day of, admittedly, heavy use out of it. More diligent use of the Task Manager would no doubt make a difference though.

Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy S II is a significant improvement on its predecessor and a terrific Android phone. While the battery life isn't the greatest, its slim profile, powerful processor, 8Mp camera and (almost) all the latest treats Android has to offer, make it the top dog in its field.

Review - Samsung and LG Duke it Out Over This Must-Have iPad 3 Feature

With all the flack I give Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL), there’s no denying that (at least for now) the iPad 2 is the tablet to beat.

But just like with the iPhone, to keep consumers coming back for more, each updated version of the device needs to deliver something fresh.

For the iPad 2, all it took was a speedier processor, a couple of cameras and a thinner design to ignite a buying frenzy. Even though these features should Acer aspire 5520 battery Acer aspire 6935g battery have been included in the original device, retailers can’t keep up with demand.

I don’t expect Apple to get away with holding back features for the iPad 3 launch, however. Not with Android tablets flooding the market in droves this year.

And that includes the most glaring omission from the iPad 2’s launch – the retina display. As DigiTimes reports, Apple went with LG (NYSE: LPL) and Samsung LCD displays instead.

More related businerss you maybe like :

Luckily for Apple, both companies have developed new high resolution displays for tablets, which they’re showing off at this week’s SID Display Week 2011 in Los Angeles.

This time around though, I don’t see Apple going with both suppliers. Here’s why.

The Battle of the Pixels: Round 1

The main selling point behind retina displays is that they have such a high resolution that the human eye (pretty much) can’t see the pixels at all. If you have an iPhone 4, you know what I’m talking about.

But until now, they haven’t been available in sizes suitable for tablet computers.

Samsung and LG didn’t use the word “retina” in their announcements of their advanced displays. LG teased an “ultra-high resolution” screen with a “greater number of pixels… that can be recognized by the human eye at a typical distance.” And Samsung developed a 2560 x 1600 resolution screen – twice that of the iPad 2 – which is on par with the retina display.

Thing is, LG’s showing several screen measurements, including the iPad’s size, 9.7 inches. Samsung specifically announced a 10.1-inch screen. Of course, that doesn’t mean Samsung isn’t working on different sizes. But it’s definitely a point for LG right now.

Plus, we can’t forget that Apple and Samsung Dell inspiron 1520 battery Dell inspiron 6000 battery are currently in a patent litigation shoving match. (Which, as I noted recently, might force Apple to replace Samsung’s processor with Intel’s (Nasdaq: INTC).)

And then there’s the fact that LG is already a trusted retina display supplier since it designed the technology for the iPhone 4.

So with three points for LG and zip for Samsung, it’s a done deal right?

I wouldn’t be so sure.

Is Your iPad 2 Bleeding?

You see, DigiTimes claims that some LG-made iPad 2 screens are bleeding light around outer edges of the display.

And Engadget’s readers backed up the findings. Some returned the tablet several times, only to see the problem again.

One commenter wrote, “I have had three iPad 2s Dell inspiron 9400 battery Hp 2510p battery and all of them had bleeding problems.” Another asked, “My iPad 2 is bleeding badly here, anyone got a transfusion kit?”

As a result, DigiTimes says that LG “was forced to reduce its shipments in the first quarter due to light leakage problem.”

So while Samsung ended up shipping 4 million units, LG came up short with 3.2 million. That means LG’s design snafu is at least partially to blame for the iPad 2 supply crunch, too. Not good.

Although LG reportedly fixed the flaw and plans to resume shipments to Apple in the second quarter, the damage is done.

After all, if I had to choose between a petty legal dispute and a hardware flaw that led to a shortage of 800,000 units (or $400 million in sales), the legal scuffle gets my vote.

Location tracking - Apple, Google, Facebook to talk privacy with Senate

A second U.S. Senate hearing over location privacy has been scheduled, a move intended to highlight how well companies notify their customers about when and how their whereabouts are stored and transmitted.

Following the U.S. Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing about mobile privacy last week, representatives from Apple and Google Dell d630 battery Hp 2230s battery are expected to again appear in Washington, D.C., on Thursday to answer questions from U.S. lawmakers in a new hearing that will also include Facebook.

The topic of a hearing, put on by the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Consumer Protection, Product Safety, and Insurance, is "consumer privacy and protection in the mobile marketplace." It's being led by chairman Jay Rockefeller (D-West Virginia).

On the docket to testify as part of a witness panel is Bret Taylor, the chief technology officer for Facebook; Catherine Novelli, Apple's VP of worldwide government affairs; and Alan Davidson, Google's director of public policy for the Americas. Joining them is Morgan Reed, the executive director of the Association for Competitive Technology, and Amy Guggenheim Shenkan, the president and COO of Common Sense Media. Ahead of that panel is David Vladeck, the director of the bureau of consumer protection for the Federal Trade Commission.

Notably missing is the U.S. Department of Justice, which made up part of the opening act in last week's hearing, as well as a representative from Microsoft Hp 530 battery Hp dv6000 battery , which also collects location information from Windows Mobile 7 devices with a unique ID. During last week's hearing, the Justice Department discussed forward-looking policy initiatives to require mobile providers to collect and store information about their customers, which is likely to be a topic at Thursday's hearing.

Location tracking has become a particularly high-profile area of interest for consumers and lawmakers alike. Last month, researchers highlighted a location database file that was being stored on iOS devices including the iPhone and iPad. The file contained information like nearby Wi-Fi hot spots and cellular towers, which Apple later came out to say was a smaller part of a private, crowd-sourced database it maintains and makes use of on its devices to help them more quickly locate where they are.

Along with describing what the database did and what its intentions were, Apple promised to secure the location data, fix a bug that kept it from being logged for more than a few days, and delete the entire database when users disabled location services--all things it did with a software update released a week later. The company has also promised to fully encrypt this database on the phone itself as part of the next major iOS software update.

Despite those actions, and an extended testimony from Apple vice president for software technology, Bud Tribble, lawmakers like U.S. Rep. Edward Markey still have questions for Apple, particularly about who else can access its location database. In a letter to Markey last week, Bruce Sewell, Apple's general counsel and senior vice president of legal and government affairs, noted that the Hp nc8430 battery Dell inspiron 2200 battery company was indeed sharing the anonymized location information with a partner, something Markey said he was following up with the company about; that topic could be broached once again this week.

Google, for its part, has similar crowd-sourced efforts on its Android platform that grabs Wi-Fi hotspots and MAC addresses, as well as location information to help source traffic information for its mapping service. That traffic component is also built into the Google Maps application that ships on Apple's iOS, which Apple hinted that it might be working to replace later on down the line with its own data.

As for Facebook, which is a newcomer since last week's hearing, location has become an increasingly important part of the service since it unveiled its "places" feature late last year. That feature let users check themselves and their friends into locations like restaurants, movie theaters, and other businesses by using the Facebook app on their mobile phone. More recently location has played a part in the company's deals service, which offers coupons, discounts, and other rewards to users nearby participating businesses, competing with Groupon and other sites like it.

Still, Facebook would definitely seem the odd company out compared to Google and Apple, which both create the system software and marketplaces that allow customers to acquire applications on their phones. Late last year a report suggested that Facebook was working towards that goal itself, though that did not come to fruition. Nonetheless, Facebook is integrated into millions of mobile devices, both as an app and a way to sync contact information, which could end up being the focus of the Senate's inquiry.
