Best free iPhone apps of 2013 - Grab'em !

With Apples 5th Anniversary of the iOS Store , Many of the Paid apps have gone FREE for a limited period of Time ... Below is a list of all the free apps and paid apps (now free for limited time) Which you should definitely download .  

1. Facebook

The world's biggest social network brings a tightly honed experience to the iPhone and iPod touch, but nonetheless still enables you to access your contacts, feeds and other important information. This sense of focus makes it in many ways superior to using Facebook in a desktop browser.

-->

2. PhotoSynth

We did a bit of a double-take on seeing Microsoft's name attached to this, not least given the lack of a price-tag. But PhotoSynth is a really great panorama app; it's user-friendly and fun to use, especially when watching your panoramas take shape while you capture them. (The iOS Camera app also has a panorama mode, but PhotoSynth's more flexible and works with older devices.)

3. RunKeeper

The prospect of Nike+ but better and for free might sound unlikely, but that's what RunKeeper provides. Previously split into 'pro' and 'free' versions, the developer now generously includes all the features in one free app.

That means you can spend no money, yet use your iPhone's GPS capabilities to track your jogging and cycling routes, and examine mapping and details of your pace and calories burned. Activities can be shared online, and treadmill runs and other exercise details can be entered manually.

How to Use Quiet Hours in Windows 8.1 to Silence Notifications

Windows 8, like Android and iOS, features an apps notifications function, alerting you when you receive new messages, calendar events and email. Unfortunately, Microsoft offered users scant options for silencing those notifications. You could either shut them off for a few short ours, or turn them off entirely. Thankfully, Microsoft has rectified this omission, adding a new Quiet Hours function in Windows 8.1 that lets users schedule when notifications should be active and when they shouldn’t.

When enabled, Quiet Hours ensures your notifications don’t make any noise or cause the screen to light up when your Windows 8.1 device is in sleep mode. Your notifications will automatically be restored whenever you start using your device or Quiet Hours are over.

1. Open the Windows 8 Charms menu and tap the gear icon to open the Settings menu.

2.Select “Change PC Settings” in the bottom right corner of the screen.

3.Choose the Search and Apps tab on the left side of the screen.

4.Select Notifications on the left side of the screen.

5.Scroll down to the Quiet Hours section and choose the times you want the function    

    to turn on and off. When you back out of the menu, your settings will automatically be saved.

How to Increase your website traffic with Google Webmaster tools : SEO tips - TechBum™

Most of the newbie bloggers always complain about low traffic on their blog and keeping searching for tips and tricks via Google and end up paying for some artificial website traffic generator service. 

This is where SEO ( Search Engine Optimization) plays an important role. There is a lot of stuff on the internet about SEO and the tips and tricks but very few talk about the Google Webmaster Tools ! 

Few complain of low traffic even though they have some really good content on their website . Well , the problem is this 'really good content' has to reach out to the people who are Googling some related content . 

So if you expect that people type something in Google and your website should be visible on the first page of the Google search results , thinking as if your website might appear in the search results like magic ! then your are a fool...

Google is a Search Engine , so what it does is the web crawlers or spiders crawl through various websites picking up keywords and indexing the stuff accordingly and based on its PageRank algorithm it gives the search results . 

Hence, without submitting the Sitemap of your website to Google , you simply cannot expect your website name in the Google search results , no matter how awesome is the quality of your content .

For the people using blogger , can generate a sitemap via this link ; 

http://ctrlq.org/blogger/

-->

copy the sitemap you have generated and submit the sitemap on Google webmaster tools ;

www.google.com/webmaster/tools

Steps :

1) sign in with you google account on the webmaster tools page.

2) click 'ADD a Site'

3)Cick on the site name once it is added and then click 'Add/Test Sitemap'  and paste the link there .

4) it may take a day or two for your site to get indexed b Google 

5) once you site is indexed you will be able to see all the information like how many times your site has been crawled . 

6) Also it shoes , where your website appeared in the search results (first page , second page , etc. )

7) Thus , Webmaster tools play a significant role in knowing how your website is performing and helps you optimize your content to get organic traffic on your website !

I hope this helps you , though this may not seem to be a very quick method but this is the most efficient and legal way to get Organic traffic to you blog or website . 

According to my experience , after submitting my sitemap to Google i have had a 100% increase in the traffic on my blog. 

Feel free to comment . Cheers :)

Access Netflix , Hulu , Pandora , Rdio outside USA from anywhere in the world with MediaHint extension

I found this utility just a few days back when I wanted to use the pandora internet radio service but was unable as it is only available in the United States. and everytime and everything i tried i couldn't use the service same was the case with Netflix and Hulu. 

Though there are various options to use the VPN stuff and all but still I didn't want to use that because we have to setup the VPN , Streaming through it is damn slow ! 

And just then I found this browser extension called MediaHint . 

This extension is available only for Google Chrome  and Mozilla Firefox . 

Since I'm based in India i wasn;t able to access Pandora, Netflix , Hulu etc . which said "we are currently not available in your country yet ! " . 

So I just downloaded and installed this Simple extension in Google Chrome . I was skeptical but then I quickly visited Pandora.com and I was like , " COOL ! " . 

Though i don't use Netflix or Hulu yet but those sites did allow me to signup now . :)

link :  www.mediahint.com

MediaHint describes it as : 

-->

This extension allows you to access internet media streaming services like Hulu, Netflix, Pandora and Rdio from anywhere.
No additional set-up required. Install extension and you are ready to go.

Install and start using:
Hulu.com
Netflix.com
Pandora.com
Rdio.com

Media Hint works as advertised. It’s difficult to say how long it will be available before it is blocked by the big four mentioned above, or before it is shut down completely.

Cheers :)

Samsung Galaxy S4 to Release on March 14

It’s not just Apple’s iPhone that finds itself the subject of speculation and even the odd concept drawing, you know. These days, Samsung is undoubtedly one of the biggest players in the smartphone world, and as such it is without a doubt one of the few companies that can garner the same kind of attention as Apple when it has a new product in the pipeline.

The Galaxy S IV is the latest phone to end up at the center of internet rumors and guesswork. As such, it too is currently finding itself the subject of all manner of concept images, but the latest to catch our attention are certainly some of the best we’ve ever seen.

Coming courtesy of Martin Hajek, the images were created to show off what the Galaxy S IV may look like when it is announced by Samsung later this month. Read more at www.redmondpie.com

OSX running on Microsoft Surface Pro [video]

Unofficial modified versions of OS X are available, bypassing the Apple-imposed checks that determine whether the computer is actually a Mac, requiring only that the hardware is similar to the one found on typical Mac computers.

The Surface Pro is powered with an Intel Core i5 and hardware similar to the one found on low-end Mac devices, therefore running OS X on this device sounds feasible, just like other PC’s that are capable of running tweaked versions of OS X. However, doubts about the legitimacy of the video lie among many, since it wouldn’t have been too difficult to capture a video of the OS X interface and playing it back on the Surface. Have a look at the video below and check for yourself:

HTC One Review : 2013 - Coolest Smartphone

HTC has confirmed its Android flagship of 2013; the HTC One will be the only ‘One’ device to launch this year. The HTC One, which was unveiled a few weeks ago, is already proving to be a hit after receiving a stack of positive reviews. But, according to Phil Roberson, head of HTC UK and Ireland, there isn’t another flagship on the agenda for 2013. It was around this time last year that the Taiwanese manufacturer announced a range of ‘One’ devices, namely the One S, One X and One V.

But, the HTC One marks the start of a “new approach” from the manufacturer as it looks towards producing fewer devices and focus more on the quality of the handsets it does release.

So, will the HTC One bring enough innovation and functionality to the table to kick-start this new strategy? Judging by its positive reception so far the future is certainly looking bright. Read on to decide for yourself…

Windows Phone 7.8 Update to roll out from February 2013 for the existing WP 7.5 Devices

--> I guess every windows phone 7.5 user must have waited quite long for the windows phone 7.8 update and must have come across various blogs saying the 7.8 update should arrive in early 2013.. 

So I went through various blogs and read various articles and now finally I could conclude that there is a strong a possibility that the WP 7.8 update should roll out from around February 2013. I am eagerly waiting for it  as I own a Windows Phone , Samsung Omnia W (first windows phone from Samsung in India) , currently running Windows Phone 7.5 OS , Tango , as they say !

Samsung Omnia W ( I must say my phone has Excellent hardware at the price , once again Samsung Well Done !)( I preferred it over Lumia 800 which was costlier and had nothing much to offer at that price ). Various blogs say that Samsung Omnia W will receive WiFi Tethering . But guys the Phone already has Internet Sharing available on the phone (i.e. multiple devices can use your mobile data connection).

So I wonder why on certain blogs they say that their phone does not have this functionality .Anyways ,  coming back to WP 7.8 ... 

So what additional features does the 7.8 update bring to your 
phone ? I know most of you must be knowing this but I would just like to mention it again :

1) Windows Phone 8 like Start Screen . (Probably this should be enough for most of us to get some fresh  and new feel )

2) Bing Daily lock Screen Wallpaper

3) Some new Themes (Mainly Color Schemes)

4) One will be able to make custom Ringtones from their MP3 files --- ( rumour :(  )

5) Bluetooth File Transfer will be available (i simply doubt that ... )

That's it . Not much I can tell unless and until i get the 7.8 update. But friends , I am sure that , "  When you pull out your phone out of our pocket , after you've received the windows phone 7.8 update , it will look and feel the same as a Windows Phone 8 device ".


So Stay tuned , as I will review the new features of Windows Phone 7.8 as soon as I get the update and will be uploading a Video reviewing the same ! 

So Subscribe to my YouTube Channel , Also You may like to know How I became a YouTube Partner , So go ahead and Check My last article on that ... Bye for now !

Cheers :)

How I became a Youtube Partner - My Experience

-->

Earlier to become a YouTube partner was not so easy . (Yes it wasn't ,I have failed a lot of times :P )
 (i had almost given up on it , TRUST ME !)

So inorder to become a YouTube Partner one had to take care of the following points : 

1) Have a LOT of Videos 

2)Have a LOT of Subscribers and Views

3)One had to frequently Upload Videos 

4)No Copyright material should be used . (your video should have your content ) 

So if you make a video of , say , your new Laptop and you review it , you own the copyright of that video and that no one can use it .
So this has been a Big issue because some people think something is  right but its simply wrong !


People use some 10-15 seconds of their favourite  song :P in their video , but they dont realize that its all copyright .


How You Can Become A Youtube Partner

1) Make a lot of videos . ( not just videos , but Good quality content )
------- Most importantly " ORIGINAL VIDEOS " !

2)Get a LOT of subscribers :P (NOT ANYMORE ! )
-----  YOU JUST NEED ORIGINAL CONTENT THAT'S ALL , YOU CAN SEE MY CHANNEL AND JUDGE YOURSELF ! 

I HAVE HARDLY ANY SUBSCRIBERS !  

HERES A Link to MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL -->   My YouTube Channel


3) Slowly You should get more and more views Depending on your quality of content ...

All this is because now being a YouTube Partner Has Become really Easy ! 

OBVIOUSLY , I CAN'T GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL BECOME A PARTNER
BUT THIS I AM SHARING WITH YOU IS SIMPLY BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE AND HOW I MANAGED TO BECOME A Youtube Partner ... :)


 BENEFITS OF BEING A PARTNER : 

1) You can monetize your videos (Revenue sharing with Youtube )
------ You can simply associate an Adsense account and start Earning !

2) You can upload Custom Thumbnails

3) You might have a edge from others (like higher place in Search Results )
    ---- this is what i feel , i might be wrong :P

Hope This Helps You In Getting Started ! My Primary aim was to Encourage each one of you out there Reading this Blog Post ...
