My tribute to Steve Jobs

sami — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 10:15:05 +0000

Life is fragile. The bright white light filled the high-facility Genetic Lab of a Japanese University, without revealing its source, as if the whole place was glowing by itself. Glass doors everywhere but rather invisible. To a 4th Grade school kid, this was Sci-Fi, this was what even his wildest imagination couldn’t come up with. The shiny white floor reflected everything above making the kid step slowly with caution, to him it was a wet floor.

Review: HideIPVPN — The ultimate VPN Service! [GIVEAWAY]

VPN being a very essential need, can also become a nightmare and at times rather expensive if you want a seemless and robust experience. I was in search of a good VPN provider but as a private user, needed something free. There are many services out there, all you need to is Google for free VPN. But about a few months ago, I came across "HideIPVPN" which is the best I've seen so far.

Built-in hardware encryption on iOS devices

sami — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 22:52:59 +0000

As many friends often ask me and discuss the reasons to get an iPhone or an iOS device for the matter, most of the time the questions are very specific and direct comparison to many other brands of smartphones. The OS it runs on, the processor, the RAM and all these technical specs. While these are all very important, the main iOS experience comes in as a whole! Each component is well balanced and we all can agree that Apple does this complete integration better than any company out there... It's nothing new, from the very early Macintosh times, it's been the case and if you are a fan and old skool user like me, you'll recall right. Today I thought I'd write a little about the Hardware Encryption feature of iOS which is probably not known to many users and people thinking of getting an iPhone. You see, there are many such small but crucial things that other companies lack, and Apple surely is ahead of the game...
