IPhone 5 already more used than SGS3
According to analysis by Chitika Insights, conducted in the period October 3 to 9 come to the surprising fact that the iPhone 5, which has been on the market less than two weeks, already exceeded the SGS3 in online trading
According to the analysis, 56% of Internet traffic had fallen away to a new iPhone 5, and 44% to SGS3 in the comparison between these two models.
This news is not good for Samsung, which is trying to compete with Apple in the smartphone segment, because once again demonstrates that Apple's products are not only sold better, but far more used of their users.
This information is particularly important for developers of mobile applications, developers of mobile Web portals and mobile websites, and marketing agencies that is important is not only the number of users, but also their habits.

Apple's shares began to fall because of the rejection of Google Maps
Now I'm writing this post basing on two sources bellow in this post
Also I'm not writing this post because i heat Apple
On many blogs/forums(especially on Nokia forums) in topics about Maps there is discussion if the Maps are so crucial for smart phones. Because the business is measured by the money here in concrete numbers how Maps are important for Apple iPhone 5.
On 21.09 when Afon 5 came out shares reached a record of $ 700. Today shares are $ 650. That's a drop of 7%. If current value of Apple's shares on market is 611b $ with easy math we can calculate and we will reach the lost of whole 49b $. Or like folk said whole $ 49 BILLIONS with the rejection of Google maps.
Source
All finaskiski analysts as a major problem mentioned problem with maps and even a few that have emerged, but the maps are the main problem for investors.
Sorce
On this can be added the position of Tim Cook who publicly apologized that the maps are complete fiasco and advised users to use other maps. If Steve Jobs was alive he never would admit this. By recognizing their inability to make a competitive product on market is reflected immediately.

Android, group application installation
This is mostly for those who frequently change ROMs. We know that when you install a new ROM then, naturally, it is necessary to install the applications that we need. Google Play although it facilitates this process of application installation on smartphones directly from the computer, however, this process can be further simplified.
The process can be simplified so that you create. Zip file with all the necessary applications and the same file will install through recovery, with all applications it will be installed once.
Required tools:
-Installed Java Runtime Environment(JRE) on your PC (OS it doesn't matter but the link is for Windows)
-Aroma App Package Creator (download .jnlp file {Java executive file})
-Installed Touch Recovery on your Phone (its not been tested with regular recovery 4EXT REcovery Touch;
-7Zip optional
-calibration zip also optimal
Procedure:
You need to first install the JRE on your computer. After you install, turn on the program Aroma App Package Creator.
The procedure is very simple. First create a group of programs,in the image bellow the group is named Programi, then add applications. Enter the name of the application, and with the button "Browse" load the application. Once you add all the programs that you need, from the field Calibration choose your phone model. If your model is not in the list will have to choose Custom and manually enter the digits calibration on the display. The digits you will find using the tool calibration.zip after will include in recovery.The procedure is described in the link.
Once you do as described then you can click the "Create" to save it. Zip file with the programs.
Update the programs in the package:
The creator of the program announced that will add function to read already-made packages with a view to their amendment, but it has not happened. Until then, if update for some of the apps that is already in your package, you will not have to repeat this procedure again.
All you have to do is to run 7Zip and to open your saved Zip package and track data> XXXX (where XXXX is the name of the apps folder) to replace alredy existing .Apk file with the newer version.
You can also in already existing folder to add more. Apk files. It is very important. that in .apk files names to not have empty spaces . When you add .apk files in the package with Aroma Package,the software automatically deletes empty spaces, but if you add manually through 7Zip you need to delete the spaces by your self before you add them to the package.
Installation of the created package :
You can install the package via recovery mod of your phone in the same way like you install new Rom.You can install the package after the installation of new Rom without restarting the phone
Create your self topographic 3D maps for your Android Device
Recently I have searched all over the net and I found out that there are not too many usable tutorials on how to create your own 3D topographic maps.
Topographic maps are designed to be used as a basemap and as a reference map. The map service includes administrative boundaries, cities, water features, physiographic features, parks, landmarks, highways, roads, railways, airports, and buildings overlaid on land cover and shaded relief for added context.
So in this Tutorial I will show you how to Make your own Topo 3D maps with CompeGPS Land for your Android Device
First you have to download CompeGPS Land from HERE for your PC. You can find trial version also.
.jpg)
Also you will need Two Nav from HERE for your Android.
Now if you downloaded this two apps one for your PC and second one for your Android Device
CompeGPS Lang is software for creating and converting 2D,3D maps
Two Nav is app for Android that can read topographic maps created with CompeGPS Lang
Also you MUST find Topo Maps in most common formats like:.ecw, *.bmp, *kmz, *.jpg, *.tif, *.tiff, *.png...
Now lets get started -----
-Install and run CompeGPS Lang on your PC
-in the main window press on "Maps" button
-now press import maps
-again in the next window where it asks you "Modify Map corners" click "Next"
-zoom the map and choose some place that is easy to find on other Maps. For example:crossroad;sity square etc.
-minimize the CompeGPS lang window and open Google Maps/Earth or some other Map software and find the same point that you have mark before in CompeGPS
-write down the coordinates from Google Earth in to the empty boxes in CompeGPS Lang
-repeat this procedure with at least one more point
But i will recommend to you to add some additional points because more points in calibration process will make your map more accurate
When you finish with adding points click on "Save"
Calibration file will be saved on your Desktop
So now you will have to convert your saved Calibration file in to a map that your Two Nav for Android app can read
-close all CompeGPS Lang windows and run the software again
-again choose "Maps" from the main window and than "Batch convert raster maps"
-in the window that will popup choose your Saved Calibration file
DO NOT choose your non calibrated map
-in the next popup choose RMAP and press OK
-after the converting process will finish your RMAP file will be saved on your Desktop
DONE:Now you have 2D/3D Map for your Android Device

One year from the death of Steve Jobs
2012 was a great year for Apple company, especially if you take into account two major events related to it, of which the first is the launch of the new iPhone, and the other is a lawsuit against Samsung. But the man who made Apple what it is, former CEO Steve Jobs was not here to see it.
What was so special for Jobs? Most of all vision that we had extraordinary access to the public and the ability to make the selling of a product. Jobs never hid his personal life, on the contrary, all share his story under which a person who collected bottles of Coca-Cola to buy food, slept in the homes of their friends and walk a few miles each week can to take a meal at the Hare Krishna temple has become a leading figure in the field of technology.
Jobs knew how to speak in public and is known as a man who knew how to create a great motivational speech. In fact his most famous appearance in public is not associated with any Apple product presentation. It is about his speech to students at Stanford who has gained immense popularity.
That and it will finish this article on the anniversary of his death
Will you find your PIN between these combinations?
The combination of four numbers, that we use as a security protection for our SIM cards, payment cards, computers and other devices,so you may still not so secure after all.
Nick Berry, president of the "Data Genetics" and a person who magazine "Sunday Times" declared one of the 50 best entrepreneurs of the decade, with a long analysis came up with the most commonly used combinations of PIN codes that people use. Their data, he published on "datagenetics.com".
People are not aware of how the choice of his PIN code, affects the security of their data reduction. Nick Berry said that this is not a manual for the thieves, but attempt people to realize the dangers that threaten them.
Combinations of the numbers 1111, 2222, 3333 to 9999, are also among the frequently used PIN codes, as well as combinations 1212 and 6969. Not surprisingly, neither the fact that combinations of numbers such as 1122, 1313, 4321 or 1010, also ranked highly on the list of most commonly used PIN codes.
The last ten numbers on the list of 10 000 most frequently used combinations of PIN codes are 0859, 8957, 9480, 6793, 8398, 0738, 7637, 6835, 9629, 8093 and last 8068

People are not aware of how the choice of his PIN code, affects the security of their data reduction. Nick Berry said that this is not a manual for the thieves, but attempt people to realize the dangers that threaten them.
According to his analysis, almost 27% of people use one of these combinations of common PIN codes. The most common combination of numbers can be easily guessed, and it is 1234. Next is a combination of 1111 which is used by more than 6% of people. Third commonly used combination is 0000, which is used by almost 2% of people.
The worrying fact is that that despite all the warnings about data protection, people still use these codes. This analysis indicates that 27% of the codes in the world can be easily guessed because they are found on this census.
The last ten numbers on the list of 10 000 most frequently used combinations of PIN codes are 0859, 8957, 9480, 6793, 8398, 0738, 7637, 6835, 9629, 8093 and last 8068
Nokia not Apple is the biggest competitor of Google Maps
Following the release of Apple Maps, time seemed maps do only Google and Apple. Yet The Atlantic reminds us that Nokia has invested over $ 8 billion (most of this money at Navteq), and just Nokia, not Apple, is the greatest competitor in quality of Google Maps.
Unfortunately due to financial problems can be found in the Finnish giant, Nokia not only often overlooked, but it is possible to sell maps of competing companies well below right value. Analysis of Atlantic says most interested in Nokia Maps Microsoft, Yahoo, Apple but because of recent problems and would must become a customer.
Google for its maps "invested" tens of thousands of hours spent driving and eight million kilometers in Street View vehicle. During that time, Nokia launched cooperation with UPS and FedEx, and UPS drivers only spend 5.28 billion km per year. The cooperation with UPS, Nokia month data gets 12 billion per month, according to Cliff Fox, Nokia vice-presidents in charge of data collection locations.
G.. Fox announced that Nokia collects 400 data for each segment (Cell of road between two intersections), for example if the street is one-way or in both directions, number of lanes, places where there is a narrowing of the road and many similar data.
Like Google and Nokia have vehicles used for road mapping. One of the drivers of these vehicles for Nokia, Tony Cha said that mapping major cities is necessary driving eight hours a day for a month. A route by which drive is computed by an algorithm, based on the most effective way to pass on every street of the city. According to him, the biggest challenge facing all companies that have to maintain updated maps change all streets.
Nokia probably have enough data to be compared with Google Maps. But now at least there should be no doubt that the battle for best application of this type will be between Google and Nokia. Nokia understandable hope that this application will help customers to solve their phones, together with the new operating system finally to return to the list of best selling phones.

Eight cult mobile phones from the past
Have you had any of these?
Smartphones nowadays ample features and capabilities of their hardware and software platforms. But before you get to this level of development, the past years have marked some models who first appeared certain functions and enjoyed world fame.
1. Nokia 9210 Communicator
2. Siemens SL45
And this model saw the light of day in 2000. In general, the year 2000 was marked by several models that have unique features for its time. Benefon launches first mobile GPS navigation (Benefon ESC), Sony polyphony (Sony J5), a Sharp Japanese market launched the first phone with a camera. A Siemens successfully continued his line of SL, the first model with a memory card and MP3 player.
3. Ericsson R520
Maybe every time you hear the word Ericsson, associate harsh and ugly phones at the time. However, R520 is the first mobile with Bluetooth. This phone had GPRS and e-mail, WAP, Phonebook up to 500 contacts. In 2002, except that it was a great phone for businessmen, but also an indication of their status.
4. Nokia 6310
![[IMG]](http://kajgana.com/sites/default/files/statija/2012/10/images/content/osum-kultni-mobilni-telefoni-od-minatoto-104046.jpg)
Legendary Nokia's business model had GPRS, Bluetooth, Infrared port and main-game "Snake", which later became a popular and compelling and other Nokia models.
5. Motorola RAZR V3
![[IMG]](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_tntPspPvpVT6iY9PZecHuBtaieLGvafptTn2FIcf7eGRalGvFx2bSrfuLM9ky0peky_3PqsydCRUW5oInrHpCV1rglQS_1DgkEj3a_4oYh10qHAaaBwtki8FduC2oyDt2OH0FFasRjooEMiWy0q4HV26tSkAV057ZSQboraRQWnQoDqtD1xc4pm6EukSuI70_7ivM5Iuxh4rhGg4xNU8rjCg-rO630JBr-AyF0sOOZv8Ur=s0-d)
Motorola introduced the RAZR V3 in 2004 and at that time was the main asset of this manufacturer. Slim metal body, straight lines, bold look, miniUSB port, a VGA camera, GPRS class 10, the ability to record video, MP3 ringtones, phonebook with 1000 contacts ... this sounded impressive at the time.
6. Sony Ericsson T610
7. Sony Ericsson K750i
This is the first phone in the function that is used for auto focus camera, which had a resolution of 2 megapixels. Appeared on the market in 2005, there was a display with 256K colors and at that time was one of the top mobile devices. The fact that even today you can see people with K750i, talks about his success and popularity.
8. Nokia N95
