Tim Cook said in an e-mail to Apple employees that the company isn’t really going to change. This is all in response to the news of Steve Jobs’ departure, of course, though it is hard to imagine what Apple will be like without the man who started it all. Steve Jobs was the face and personality of Apple, so it’s also hard to believe that the culture at the Cupertino-based company won’t change. It won’t happen overnight, but it’s possible that it will eventually happen.

Tim Cook, however, puts things in a different light. In the e-mail obtained by Ars Technica, Cook tells Apple employees that the culture that Jobs built will continue, and that it’s in the company’s DNA and so it will be difficult to change. Here is a copy of that e-mail: Read More

How to maximize your iPhone’s battery life

Posted by admin under iPhone News on Friday Jul 29, 2011

The iPhone has the best battery life I’ve ever seen in a modern smartphone, especially the iPhone 4. I can go almost two whole days under heavy use before I have to plug it into its charger. However, I’ve learned that some of my friends and acquaintances aren’t seeing the same results. If you’d like to squeeze a little more juice out of your iPhone’s battery, follow the tips below!

1. Reduce your screen brightness

Unless you like shining a flashlight on your face, you really don’t need the iPhone’s screen brightness to go over 50%. A very bright screen uses up a lot more energy, so you’ll see some gains in your overall battery life if you were to reduce its brightness to 50% or less. Simply go into Settings then Brightness, and do your best to approximate the halfway point on the brightness slider. If you find yourself move in and out of bright and dark areas, feel free to turn on the auto-dim feature so that your display will adjust itself according to available ambient light.

2. Turn off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Location Services (GPS) when not in use

It seems simple enough, but you’d be surprised how many people leave Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on when they’re not using either or both. Some users will leave Wi-Fi on, allowing the iPhone to constantly scan nearby networks if that feature isn’t turned off, and that could adversely affect battery life. GPS or location services is a little more tricky since many apps require their use. Luckily, you can toggle which apps can use it, and which apps can live without it. Open up Settings, go into Location Services and select/de-select the apps you wish to grant access to GPS.

There are some cases when Wi-Fi can be beneficial to your battery life. If you’re in an area where your network has low or poor network coverage, using Wi-Fi for web browsing, e-mail and data-intensive apps will actually help your battery life. Otherwise, if you’re in a great coverage area and you aren’t

iPad vs. Android Tablets: A Kids Perspective

Posted by admin under iPad, iPad News on Wednesday Jul 20, 2011

Ever since the original iPad came out people have loved it. There is online web browsing on a big screen, applications of all different categories, music, movies, games and much more. And after the new iPad 2, more and more people think that the iPad is the best tablet on the market.

That is, for adults.

But what about kids like me? After all, the iPad is not the only tablet out there. The Motorola Xoom, Samsung Galaxy 10.1 and Asus Eee Pad are all new tablets on the market. HP is also out now with a new TouchPad, which uses the WebOS operating system. But which device would kids like?

The Options

The iPad 2, Motorola Xoom, Samsung Galaxy 10.1, and HP Touchpad are all great tablets. To be honest I’d be really happy if my parents got me any of these tablets. Any of these tablets will be good for most of the things kids would use a laptop for, except for typing and homework.

Most people use the iPad for browsing the web, doing e-mail, using Facebook and watching movies. Some adults love to play games on the iPad, as well. My mom likes her iPad for web browsing, reading e-mail, and using Facebook because she finds it easy to use, and light.

I currently use an Android phone right now, as well as an Android tablet. Android has more customization features such as home screen widgets and moving backgrounds, and there are a lot of free Android apps, which is great for kids who have limited allowances. Even though the iPad has more apps than Android tablets, it doesn’t make much difference because most good apps such as Angry Birds or Homerun 3D are available on both platforms. Android apps get updated faster than iPad apps, due to Apple’s harder update process. Android devices offer a lot of

When receiving email messages with attachments (Word, Excel, or PDF files) represented by the paperclip icon, the attachment may not be displayed when the message is opened. Instead, a plain text version of the message is received and contains an attachment named Winmail.dat that cannot be viewed or opened.

Resolution

This happens when the email message is composed in RTF (Rich Text Format) with attachments. To display the attachment properly on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, have the sender compose the email message in either plain text or HTML.
