Now you can use your voice to use your iPhone. Just talk to Siri as you would to a person: “Do I need an umbrella?” or “Any great burgers around here?” or “Where’s the closest ATM?” Siri not only understands what you say, it knows what you mean.1 It figures out the right apps to use to find the right answer. Then, just like a personal assistant, it answers you. Siri makes phone calls, sends messages, schedules meetings, sets reminders, and more. How much more? Just ask, and Siri tells you that, too.

THE CAMERA
With 8 megapixels and all-new optics, this just might be the best camera ever on a mobile phone. It just might be the only camera you’ll ever need. And if you think that’s amazing, wait until you see your photos.
Mega megapixels.
The iPhone 4S camera gives you 8 megapixels — that’s 60 percent more pixels than the camera on iPhone 4. They’re engineered with a higher, full-well capacity to collect even more light. With more megapixels and more light, you’ll see a dramatic difference in the resolution and details of your images. So your photos look stunning everywhere you show them off — on your iPhone, your computer, or your HDTV. And they’re rendered pixel for pixel in prints as large as 8x10.
All-new optics make all
the difference.
Great photography isn’t just about megapixels — it’s about light, too. The all-new, advanced optics in this camera work together to make sure whatever light you have gives you the best image possible. The custom lens uses five precision elements to shape incoming light, which makes the entire image sharper. The larger f/2.4 aperture lets in more light, so photos look brighter and better. And the advanced hybrid infrared filter keeps out harmful IR light, so you’ll see more accurate and uniform colors.
Turn down the lights.
Or turn them way up.
Pull out your iPhone in moonlight, candlelight, or under little white lights. Or shoot in bright light. Like at the beach. iPhone captures low-light and lots-of-light moods beautifully. So darks aren’t too dark and lights aren’t too light. Even action shots are less blurry. The next-generation backside illumination sensor is engineered with increased sensitivity and a shorter exposure time to achieve the same scene brightness — colors are less saturated and you’ll see more details. And the refined LED flash automatically kicks in when it’s needed (but you can always turn it off).
A5 chip and iOS 5.
The power behind your photos.
The A5 chip is designed with an image signal processor that’s just as good as the ones found in DSLR cameras. It’s how you can tap to focus and control exposure. And it’s the power behind zero shutter lag. The image signal processor makes the iPhone 4S camera faster, so you’ll catch all the action as it happens. The camera also uses advanced algorithms in iOS 5 for even more color accuracy, better white balance, and greater dynamic range. When you see your photos, you’ll see exactly what that means.
This camera loves a face.
With new face detection, this camera is smart enough to know whether you’re taking a portrait or a group shot. It focuses on the most prominent face in the frame and balances exposure across up to 10 faces. So you’ll definitely catch smiles. And maybe even a smirk or two.
Capture the moment in
a split second.
Think about all those fun, fleeting moments you wish you’d caught on film. Now you can open the Camera app right from the Lock screen. So when things happen fast, you’ll capture them fast. Compose a quick shot with grid lines and pinch-to-zoom gestures. Focus with a tap. Then press the volume-up button to take a photo. And suddenly, everything is a photo op.
Edit photos right on iPhone.
It’s not just an amazing camera. It’s an on-the-fly editing studio. Crop, rotate, enhance, and remove red-eye right on iPhone — without the help of photo editing software on a computer. Then organize your shots into albums, so you know where your favorites are when you want to show them off.
HDR. The best everything.
All in one shot.
Tap HDR and take a photo. iPhone 4S captures three photos from that one shot, each with a different exposure level. Then it layers the shots together to create a single photo that combines the best parts of each shot. The wide range of light is more accurate in an HDR photo. And iPhone saves both the original and the HDR photo in your Camera Roll. You can clearly see the difference.
Photo Stream.
And other ways to share.
With Photo Stream in iCloud, new photos you take are automatically sent to all your devices, so you can show them off on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or PC.1Post them to the web the second you take them, and they’ll be the envy of your Flickr, Facebook, and Twitter world. Share them on your HDTV with AirPlay.2Or send your photos through iMessage or MMS. Or go old-school and send them in an email.

Read on as we get to know the Asus G74-SX-A1 a little better.

In terms of input devices, the keyboard of the G74-SX-A1, while featuring a full numpad, has an inclination of 5-degrees for better ergonomics and the rubberized finish of the whole palm rest assures you of comfortable gaming sessions. As expected, the keyboard of the G74-SX-A1 features chiclet-style keys for better tactile feedback while the trackpad of the rig is big and very smooth to give way to precision scrolling.

One of the most anticipated sale events that we look forward to every year is the MSI-ECS Warehouse Sale. On September 13-16, the MSI-ECS Sale will again happen at their warehouse in Libis. But before you go, check out the price list below. This should allow you to check which items are worth getting and preparing enough cash before your trip to their warehouse.
Could not see any good deals with Apple products and Macs. Even the Acer tablets are still expensive compared to the ones we see in stores (you just have to look really hard).
The iPhone is able to do a whole lot of stuff – not just over the screen itself, but you can also use it to control remote controlled helicopters as well. This extreme versatility that had never been seen before in any phone prior to it has made it a hugely desirable handset, so you can more or less expect the frenzy that will surround the iPhone 5′s release. Well, for the moment, you might as well as add another job description to the already long list on the iPhone 4′s resume – the iPhone Virtual Reality Viewer.
Yes sir, this unique device will work with the iPhone, rolling out immersive, three-dimensional viewing experiences. You will need not spend anything more than the$49.95 asking price since you will take advantage of free downloadable applications that will use the iPhone’s accelerometer, allowing the 3D environments within to move when the iPhone is moved.
You wear the iPhone Virtual Reality Viewer just like a pair of binoculars, where a couple of finger holes are located at the bottom so that you can access the smartphone’s touchscreen display. 3D movie trailers aren’t the only way to keep yourself entertained with this – you can also use it to play a smattering of interactive games. It will play nice with the iPhone 4, iPod touch (4th generation), iPhone 3G/3GS, and 2nd/3rd Generation iPod touch.
The much-awaited jailbreak for iOS 4.3.3 is now out and ready to hack your iPhone 4, iPad and iPod Touch. The steps are quick and easy, just like how it was done before.
All you need to do is fire up Safari browser on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch and click on the Install button on the page.
This is the easiest method so far but if you can’t still follow, just watch this video.
Let me know if this works for you. Did it on my iPad and iPod Touch and works like a charm.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg today announced three new features to be introduced in the social network (group chat, new chat design and video calls). The most interesting of the lot is video calling that uses Skype’s technology.
The move is pretty obvious, I guess, considering Microsoft recently bought Skype and Facebook is partly owned by Microsoft too*.
Skype is tapping into a vast number of people now that it will be integrated with Facebook and though there is the danger (business-wise) that people already using Skype might skip the software and just use the FB App to do video calls. At the same time, this will also help Skype get more users to eventually pay for Skype Out. FB’s new video call is basically an in-house Skype FB applet.
* Microsoft invested $240 million in Facebook at 1.6% share (2007).
* Microsoft’s acquisition of Skype is not yet final, pending approval.
In a recent market research by comScore, the Philippines ranked #1 with the highest Facebook users as a percentage of internet users in the country. They also included Twitter and LinkedIn to give it a better perspective. 1. Philippines
> Facebook: 93.9%
> Twitter: 16.1%
> LinkedIn: 1.9%
> Internet Use: 29.7% Social network penetration is incredibly high in the Philippines, reaching 95%. Facebook is the country’s most popular website, more so than Google, and has a penetration rate of 93.9%. The Philippines is also the eighth most popular country for Twitter use on a global scale, with a penetration rate of 16.1%. The popularity of photo sharing has increased by 46% in the country in one year, largely due to Facebook. Social networking is so popular among Filipinos, the country has been nicknamed “The Social Networking Capital of the World.”( http://247wallst.com/2011/05/09/the-ten-nations-where-facebook-rules-the-internet/3/)
Israel came in second with 91%, Turkey at 90.9% and Chile at 90.2%. The two other SEA country that made it to the top 10 is Indonesia at 87.5% and Malaysia at 88.4%.
However, in terms of absolute percentage of the population, Malaysia is higher than the Philippines — 57% of Malaysians are on Facebook while only 28% of Filipinos are on Facebook.
The research also included penetration of other social networking sites like Twitter and LinkedIn. While Twitter usage is relatively high, LinkedIn (which has been up since 2003) scored very low. LinkedIn so a social networking site for professionals.
This should allow you to check which items are worth getting and preparing enough cash before your trip to their warehouse.
