Everything You Need to Know About the Apple Watch

There have been rumours and speculations surrounding the possible launch of an "iWatch" for over an year now, and so when Tim Cook finally announced the launch of Apple's smartwatch on Tuesday, it wasn't exactly a big surprise. The actual details of the watch - a health and fitness focused device - had largely been kept under wraps though, including its name.

If you're curious about Apple's latest offering, this is what you need to know:

1. Its name - although the rumour mill had made up its mind that the watch will be called the iWatch, Apple has gone for the somewhat uncreative but highly functional name - Watch.

2. There are three collections of designs available for the Apple Watch. First, you have the Watch, which features materials like stainless steel and leather in the design, the Watch Sport, which uses lightweight anodised and is designed to be used more actively, and the Watch Edition, which is housed in a gold body. This last is likely to be more expensive than the other designs.

3. Across the three collections, there are a total of 18 different styles of straps available, which means that you will be able to customise the Apple Watch - both physically and in terms of software, to stand out from others, but Apple hasn't given out details on the pricing of different designs yet.

4. The Apple Watch home screen looks familiar, but different from the iOS screens we're used to. Here, the app icons are all shaped like round bubbles, and the screen are called neighbourhoods. You pan across the "neighbourhood" with swipes, and then zoom in until you can easily tap on the icon using the crown - which Apple is calling the Digital Crown. This is an innovative solution to the problem of navigation in a smartwatch, that doesn't rely only on voice control.

5. It has a touchscreen, but you won't need to keep touching the screen. On a small watch face, standard touchscreen gestures are hard to use, and instead, the Apple Watch comes with a crown on the side, of the kind that you have in traditional watches to adjust the time with. Here, however, you use it to do things like scrolling up and down a list, or zooming in and out of a map. At the same time, you can still touch the screen if you need to.

6. You can talk to your watch. Much like the Google Android Wear watches, the Watch can also be
operated using voice commands. Pushing the crown activates Siri, although Indian users at least might prefer Google for this functionality - Siri has been fairly bad at recognising what some members of the team are saying, while Google voice recognition has been much more accurate.

7. You'll get feedback as vibrations. The Apple Watch doesn't just talk back - instead Apple is going to use different types of vibrations to reinforce its messages. What this means is that one type of vibration could mean turn left, and another type of vibration could mean turn right. Apple claims that this allows navigation without looking at the screen.

8. Apple hasn't given any details about battery life yet either. Charging the Watch is done with a MagSafe cable connected to the back of the body, which sounds a lot simpler than most of the other smartwatches in the market, which still use complicated cradles to charge the watch. It's likely that the watch will need to be charged every night, which isn't really great but at least it's relatively easy to actually charge.

9. You need an iPhone to use the Apple Watch. This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone, but the Apple Watch is dependent on your smartwatch for much its data connection and functionality. It will work with the two year old iPhone 5 onwards. Not surprisingly, it doesn't support other devices such as Android.

10. It integrates a lot of health and fitness functions. Trackers for heartbeat and activity are built into the watch, and not only will it count your steps and track heartbeat, but it also learns your behaviour and suggests fitness goals. That's one part of the puzzle, but the iWatch also lets you carry out other functions thanks to third party apps, so you're going to see apps from Nike and other companies to take advantage of these new sensors as well.

11. The Apple Pay functionality will be available on the Watch as well, so you can just tap your wrist instead of pulling out your phone to make a payment. Again, this feature is probably not so useful for readers in India.

12. The Apple Watch starts at $349 - but we don't know how much the different variants will cost. At that price, the Apple Watch is definitely one of the most expensive smartwatches - the Sony Smartwatch 3 will be going on sale at the end of the year, priced at 230 EUR or around $300. The other smartwatches all fall in a spectrum between this (with the Moto 360 priced at $249.99) and the LG G Watch which just got a $50 price cut down to $179.

13. Left-handed people needn't worry about whether the Apple Watch will work for them, as Apple has confirmed users will be able set the orientation of the watch's interface. THe bands are also reversible, ensuring the smartwatch is not faced in the wrong direction. Notably though, the Digital Crown will still be in an inconvenient location - on the bottom left.
From what little we've seen of the Apple Watch so far, it's a good looking device but it's not the best looking one. What makes it interesting however is how intuitive the interface design appears to be. The use of the crown for controls is an obvious usage that has been crying out for attention but Apple got there first despite being a full year behind the competition. The $349 price tag is really steep though, especially when compared to other devices in this category. With a presumably short battery life (why not disclose it otherwise?) the Apple Watch falls prey to some of the same shortcoming as other smartwatches, an we're inclined to see this as an early adopter device still, and not something that everyone should rush to get.

iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus: Everything You Need to Know

Right on schedule, Apple has carried out its annual iPhone refresh cycle. Dozens of leaks and endless reams of speculation proved mostly to be correct, as the devices unveiled at Apple's California event on Tuesday were not surprising at all. Still, Apple managed to keep most of the specifics about its hardware and software improvements under wraps. Here's all you need to know about what makes the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus special.
Screen sizes
Of course the most important difference is larger screens. Apple, which has steadfastly refused to follow industry trends in the past, has now seemingly bowed to pressure and gone in the direction that most Android device makers have gone. The iPhone 6 has a new 4.7-inch 750x1334-pixel screen, which is considerably bigger than the one on the iPhone 5s, while the iPhone 6 Plus comes in at an even bigger 5.5 inches and 1080x1920 pixels. The 326ppi density stays the same on the 4.7-inch screen, although Apple now calls it a "Retina HD" screen, while the 5.5-inch model gets a considerable bump up to 401ppi. The iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c both have 4-inch 640x1136-pixel screens.
The larger of the two new devices borrows some software features from the iPad line, and takes advantage of its extra screen space by allowing more content on each screen. For the first time, you can use an iPhone entirely in landscape - the home screen will rotate, but unlike on iPads, all the icons stay in the same places. There's even an enhanced keyboard with dedicated keys for copy, cut and paste.
Dimensions
Of course the larger screens mean that both models are taller and wider than their predecessors, but Apple has made the most of that and reduced thickness to compensate. The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are 6.9 and 7.1mm thick respectively, as opposed to the 8.97mm of the iPhone 5c and 7.6mm of the iPhone 5s and 5, which had felt so much thinner than the 4S when it first launched.
The power button on both models has been moved to the upper right edge, which is easier to reach than the top.
Power
Some might argue that the iPhone 5s was thin enough, and that Apple should have used larger batteries instead of reducing volume further. The iPhone 6 promises up to 14 hours of 3G talktime while the iPhone 6 Plus is rated for an astonishing 24 hours. That's compared to 10 hours on the iPhone 5s and 5c. Standby time remains the same 10 days on the iPhone 6, whereas the iPhone 6 Plus can last up to 16 days on a single charge.
A lot of the power savings can be attributed to Apple's new A8 SoC and M8 motion coprocessor. Apple has not disclosed the chips' specifications or speeds, but has promised 25 percent more CPU power and 50 percent faster graphics, along with impressive power savings. The A8 is manufactured on a 20nm process and has 2 billion transistors. The iPhone 5s was the first iOS device to use a 64-bit processor, last year's Apple A7, and also the first to have a dedicated motion coprocessor. The iPhone 5c uses the older Apple A6 SoC which was introduced with the iPhone 5 two years ago.
Cameras
One area in which Apple has not bothered trying to catch up to Android manufacturers is its cameras. In terms of raw resolution, we've got the same 8-megapixel rating as before. However, Apple says the sensor is all new, and has been designed to lock focus much faster. A new "Focus pixels" feature senses light intensity quickly, allowing the autofocus to lock that much faster.
Apple also touts improved colour accuracy and more advanced noise reduction algorithms. There is dedicated hardware for image processing.The iPhone 5s camera doesn't have these new features but is still superior to the iPhone 5c camera, which has a single LED flash.
The larger iPhone 6 Plus has optical image stabilisation, which physically adjusts the lens to compensate for shaky hands and sudden movements, leading to sharper images and video. The iPhone 6 and 5s use digital stabilisation, which is a method of achieving similar results through software. The 5c doesn't have any kind of stabilisation.
Video is still 1080p on the two new phones rather than 4K, but can be recorded at a smoother 60fps. Slow-motion video can now be recorded at 240fps. The iPhone 5s introduced 120fps slow-motion video, but the 5c cannot process even this.
The front camera now supports a burst mode and you can panoramas up to 43 megapixels big with the primary camera, which uses the phone's gyroscope to automatically line up the edges of each frame.
NFC and sensors
Apple's new Apple Pay feature works using a combination of NFC and fingerprints. You can tap your iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus to a payment terminal while holding your finger to the Touch ID sensor to authorise payments. This feature won't be available on older iPhones including the iPhone 5s. The iPhone 5c lacks the Touch ID sensor, so transactions still need to be authorised with traditional passwords.
There's also a new barometer, which helps health and fitness apps track your movements. The new sensor allows detection of altitude so the device knows when you're walking and when you're climbing stairs.
Networks
On the less glamorous side, the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus have been upgraded with high-speed Wi-Fi ac support. They also work on more LTE bands around the world - the total is now up to 20, including the TD 2300 band used in India. The iPhone 5s and 5c also support the Indian LTE band but Wi-Fi n is the highest speed standard supported.
The two new iPhones gain VoLTE (voice over LTE) support and carrier aggregation, which allows multiple bands to be used simultaneously to increase throughput.
Pricing, variants and availability
The iPhone 6 replaces the iPhone 5s at the $199 price point (on contract in the US), but the iPhone 6 Plus comes in at a new $299 level. These are the starting prices for 16GB models, and the increment is still $100 for each bump in capacity.
Interestingly, Apple has discontinued the 32GB mid-tier models and you'll now get 64GB at the same price. Another $100 will get you 128GB instead of 64GB. Both models will be available in the same three colours as the iPhone 5s: gold, silver and space grey.
The iPhone 5s will continue to be available in 16GB and 32GB models. While the 16GB model drops to $99, the increase to 32GB will cost only $50 more. Only the 8GB version of the iPhone 5c will remain available, but it will be free on contract in the US.
Apple had initially put a date of September 26 on its India website, which seems to have been a mistake, as it has now been updated to show October 17. It is not clear if this applies to the iPhone 6 Plus as well, though this is unlikely considering reports of production issues that have constrained supplies. Pricing in Indian rupees is not yet known. Apple will most likely announce prices and retail tie-ups in the week prior to the launch.
Software
The new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus will come with iOS 8 preinstalled. Owners of older iPhones (as far back as the iPhone 4S) will be able to download an iOS 8 update starting on September 17. The new OS introduces a number of features including Health, a new app that helps track your activity and nutrition; Photos, an all-new photo management and editing tool; more intelligent Spotlight searches; voice clips in the Messaging app; an improved keyboard with suggestions; and loads of new frameworks for developers to build on.
Most of these features should translate well to older iOS devices, but some, such as Apple Pay, require specific hardware that older products won't have.

3 Things to know about Windows 9 before launch

It’s that time again. Microsoft has decided to place its bets elsewhere after the bet that mobile-desktop fusions would actually pan out in the end. After suffering disappointment from public reactions to Windows 8 and its Modern/Metro interface, it’s decided to up the ante a little bit and release a completely new operating system that follows a different formula.

Sometime in 2015, Microsoft will be releasing Windows 9, and we’ve got a little bit of the scoop regarding what it will look like and how it will work. It’s time to put aside whatever we may feel about Windows 8 and see what Windows 9 might have to offer.

1: Windows 9′s Interface Will Adapt To The Device You’re Using

Windows 8 was a pretty stable system with some great features, but all of that mattered little when you were greeted by the “Start screen” or, as they call it, the Modern interface. Many users did not take kindly to the system when they first tested it, and the operating system’s poor sales were a reflection of the negativity surrounding this attempt to unify mobile and desktop experiences. Microsoft made a very risky bet, and it really didn’t pan out very well after the fact.
With Windows 9, however, it seems as if MS is rethinking its strategy and hoping to distance itself from the fallout that was its previous OS iteration. Windows 9, instead of offering both worlds at the same time, will change and adapt its interface according to whatever you’re running it on. Codenamed “Threshold”, this new operating system will detect whether you have a keyboard and mouse. If you do, you’ll be opted into the desktop experience. The absence of these peripherals (and the presence of touch-based hardware) will trigger Windows 9 to load up a mobile platform.

2: The Start Menu Will Return

Millions of people around the world were shocked to see that Windows 8 had no Start menu. It was perhaps the biggest flop in the entire operating system’s history. Microsoft recognizes that this was a mistake and has decided to bring the Start menu back in Windows 9, according to The Verge. However, this new Start menu will be just a little different. I think that an image will describe it better than words:

In case this new menu seems a little bit confusing, I’ll explain it to you. Windows 9 is introducing a menu system in which it will show you your desktop applications on one end and your mobile applications on the other. You’ll be able to open mobile applications in a window in case you prefer that over the full-screen setup that Windows 8 had until now. This still gives it a little bit of a mobile/desktop fusion flavor, but Windows 9 doesn’t forget that you’re still running it on a desktop computer.

3: It Might Be Free For Windows 8.1 Update 2 Users

If you’re using Windows 8.1′s Update 2, you might not have to pay for Windows 9. Instead, it will come as a free upgrade. However, the report from ValueWalk cites a leaking group called WZOR as its source. Although it has been reliable in the past, I’d recommend you take this news with a grain of salt. It’s nothing but a rumor until Microsoft comes out and confirms or denies it.

Launch Date?

Windows 8.1 Update 2 will be released in August. udging by this behavior, estimates of Windows 9′s release date vary, with the earliest date being somewhere in the end of 2014. Later estimates are putting the release date somewhere in April 2015. Reports also shows that the release date should come sooner than September 2015.

Apart from the above case. you would also want to restrict your younger brothers from using your PC no more than specific time. may be 1 hour or 2 hour. Microsoft implemented a variety of features for families in Windows 8, including the ability to set time limits for a child's account.

Step 3: Select "Time Limits" To apply a certain time limitation on an account, click "Set time allowance" then use the drop-down menus provided to select a specific number of hours and minutes your child or Brother or Friend is allowed on the computer.

You can set a different time allowance for weekdays and weekends. In order to block certain spans of time, such as the hours during which your child/friend/brother is supposed to be doing homework, click "Curfew" then tap the white boxes for the hours you want to block on specific days.

For example, if you want to block the hour of 5PM on Monday and Friday, tap the hour block on those days to turn it blue, which will block it. So this was a simple tutorial to set time limits in windows computer that logs out your account after specific period of time that you set.

Ultimate Guide to Build a Custom Windows Computer from Scratch

Building a custom computer is something most people won't even consider when it's time to replace the old one. While there is wide variety of off the shelf computers available today, a custom computer system offers several advantages over their store bought counterparts.

The biggest advantage of a custom built computer is that it can be created specifically to suite your needs. For example, a computer being used to design buildings with a CAD program is much different than a computer managing inventories at a warehouse.

Another bonus is that, every part on a custom computer can be upgraded if needed. In the end you will not only have a better computer, but you will also have saved a lot of money in the process.

To build a computer you will need several parts. The basic parts you will need are a...

1. Case 
2. Power Supply 
3. Motherboard 
4. Processor/CPU 
5. RAM/Memory 
6. Hard Drive 
7. Video Card 
8. Sound Card 
9. CD/DVD Drive 
10. Mouse, keyboard, speakers and monitor. 
11. An Operating System. (Any newer version of Windows)

Along with the parts that will make up the computer, you will need...

• A couple small screwdrivers
• A decent sized work area work area (a desk will work)
• A pair of gentle hands
• Some Patience

As mentioned before, the biggest advantage of a custom computer is the fact that it can be made to suite your requirements. To meet these requirements you will need to buy an array of parts that will work together. Without getting too nitty gritty, here is a basic explanation of the parts that make up a computer.

Computer Case:

A computer case is what holds all of your computers components together and protects them from the elements. All cases do pretty much the same thing but there are several things to look for when buying a case. Aside from the color and styling, there are different sizes to choose from.

Bigger cases have room for more components whereas a smaller case will only limit you to the basic necessities. Also, some cases have "luxury features" like built in headphone jacks or USB ports that are in easily assessable areas.

Power Supply:

The power supply converts 120 volt ac power from your wall into various dc voltages needed to run the components. The biggest factor when choosing a power supply is choosing the correct wattage. More components require more power, so a computer with lots of components will need a power supply that supports a higher wattage. Wattages usually range from 300watts to 800watts.

MotherBoard:

The heart of any computer system is the motherboard. The motherboard is a giant circuit board that connects all of your computers components together, similar to the veins, arteries and nerves of the human body. The motherboard is the most critical part of your computer system and a lot of time and extensive research should be put into choosing the correct motherboard for your system. Lots of computer companies have their own standards for parts, so it is important to choose a motherboard that will be compatible with the rest of your components.

The CPU:

The Central Processing Unit or CPU chip is the brain behind your whole computer system. It performs all the calculations and executes all the computers processes. CPU chips are rated in GHz. The higher the GHz rating equates to a faster and more responsive computer. In the end, the speed of your CPU will dictate the maximum level of performance your computer can offer. It is recommended that you buy a CPU chip that is a little faster than needed, so that you can leave room for upgrades in the future.

The RAM:

Random Access Memory or RAM comes in the form of a memory stick and fits into a slot on the motherboard. Having more RAM helps maintain the speed at which your computer is operating when multiple processes are happening simultaneously. This in turn reduces the amount of time your computer has to load. (Adding more RAM is like adding additional lanes onto a highway so that traffic will keep moving during rush hour.) Upgrading your RAM is very easy and cost effective since you just have to install additional memory sticks instead of replacing the existing ones.

The HDD:

The hard drive is what stores all of the computers data. A larger hard drive or multiple hard drives will be able to store more data. Movies, songs, games and programs take up lots of space, so if you intend on storing these on your computer, it would be a good idea to get a hard drive with more capacity or multiple hard drives. A backup hard drive could also be a good form of insurance if you intend on storing a lot of important data on your computer. Hard drives are usually one of the first components of a computer to fail, and when they do you usually lose everything that had been stored on your computer.

Video Card:

The video card is the device which creates the image on your monitor. A computer used for multimedia videos, gaming, or photo editing will greatly benefit from a faster and higher performance video card. It will be able to create sharper images and it will be able to process images quicker for smoother transitions.

Sound Card:

The sound card is the device which translates numerical codes into pulses that your speakers use to create different sounds. A quality sound card along with a good set of speakers will help to create better sound quality, which is ideal for a computer that will be used for entertainment.

Once you have done your research and have bought your parts, it's time to start the building process. Before any building begins though, you need to discharge yourself of any static electricity. A static shock can easily destroy computer parts, so before you touch any bare computer parts, find something that is made of metal and is grounded to touch. A door handle should work just fine. (This will cause the negative electrons from your body to go back into the earth like lightning does)

Building Custom Computer from Scratch

The first step in building a computer begins with the assembly of the motherboard. This includes the CPU and memory sticks. The CPU chip will have a notched corner that will align perfectly with another notched corner on the motherboard.

Once you have the chip positioned, you simply drop it right in place without using any pressure. Once seated, you can then slide the lever arm that's on the motherboard to lock the CPU in place.

After that, you'll need to install the heat sink, which is done by peeling off the tape off of the back of the heat sink and sticking on top of the CPU.
Next you will need to install the RAM memory sticks. On the motherboard there will several slots marked channel 1, channel 2 and so on. The memory sticks need to be pressed into the slots very gently, and then they need to latched in place with the clamps that are located on each side of the slots.

Now it is time to start assembling the case. After removing the case's cover (some cases are different, but most case covers slide right off) you can then begin to install the power supply.

The case will already have a space cut out at the top rear where the power supply fits into place. To mount the power supply, you will need to locate the four screws that came with it, and insert them through the pre drill holes at the back of the case.

It's a good idea, to support the power supply with one hand and insert the screws with the other hand. Once all four screws are loosely fitted you can then grab a screwdriver and tighten them up. After the power supply is secured, it is time to put the mother board in.

The mother board will be positioned vertically beneath the power supply and will be mounted to the left side of the case. Like the power supply, the motherboard will align with holes that have been predrilled into the case. The only difference with this is that you will need to install a set of spacers in-between the case and motherboard, so that the motherboard has about a quarter inch air gap.

Once the motherboard is mounted, you can then connect the power leads from the power supply to the mother board. There will be one small connector and one large connector that fit into matching slots on the motherboard.

After installing the motherboard you can proceed on to installing the hard drive. Inside the case you will find a bracket that is wide enough to accept a hard drive. Simply slide the hard drive into the bracket, and use the 4 screws that are provided to lock it in place. The hard drive will come with a ribbon cable (long flat cable) that attaches the hard drive to the motherboard.

You will also need to grab another power lead from the power supply and plug it into the hard drive. The CD/DVD-rom drive installs very similarly to the hard drive. It slides into a bracket, is held in by four screws, and requires a ribbon cable to be connected to the motherboard and a power lead to the power supply. The only difference is you will need to pop out a faceplate in the front of the case so the CD/DVD drive can open.

This completes the basic setup to get a computer running. You can now connect your, mouse, keyboard and monitor and turn the computer on for the first time. A screen will pop up asking you to put in the correct date and time. You will then insert your copy of Windows into the CD drive and it will automatically install itself.

Adding other components such as a video card, sound card, or router/modem for internet use is pretty easy. Accessories like these can be installed with minimal effort. They simply plug right into the motherboard without any wires, and only require one screw that is mounted at the back of the case to secure it.

I currently use a custom built computer that I built myself, and I have been 100% satisfied with it. I have a special video card that allows me to use two monitors instead of just one. It's a great feature and it allows me to do work much more efficiently. This is a feature I could only have with a custom computer.

Building a custom computer from scratch is actually a pretty easy process. It doesn't require any fabrication, soldering or any special tools. Once you have learned the basics, it's really just a plug and play job. The cost of a custom built computer will be less than a store bought counterpart version and the possibilities for upgrades are endless.

How to Easily Identify Font Used in any Image or Photo

Hey guys Today we will learn how to Identify Which Font Is used in any Image or Photo that you Find on Internet. Many a times what happens is we come accross beautiful Images with Awesome Text on it. But We can't Identify what font is used to write that text. Or if you are into Graphic designing and all that stuff then this is a tailor made post for you.

To identify the font that is used to write on any photo, we will be using a web based tool. Yes thats right, A web based tool that Analyzes your Image that you upload and gives you output of what Font is used when creating the photo. So let us see how it is done.

How to Identify Font Used in any Image or Photo

So we will be using a Web based Online Tool called What Font is which i recently used to identify one of the font used in a Picture, So no more Guessing the Font name.

Step 1: As said earlier we will be Using a Web based tool which is What Font is. The link to the Website is http://www.whatfontis.com , So first Open it in a new tab and continue Reading.

Step 2: As you scroll down on the page, you’ll find “Browse” if you want to upload the image directly from your computer. Alternatively, you can just paste the URL of the image on the field provided. Just keep in mind that your image must be saved in JPEG (.jpeg, .jpg), GIF (.gif) or PNG (.png) format or else, it will be rejected.

Step 3: After uploading the image, select whether the background color is lighter or darker than the character colors. If you want more advanced options such as the option to display all fonts (whether free or not).

Step 4: After you’re done, just click “Continue” and wait while your image is being processed.

If the image is too complex for the tool to analyze, it will refer you to edit the font using an online image editor. 

Step 5: You will then be asked to select at least 4 to 10 characters out of the font before submitting it again. To refrain from getting this message, make sure that you’re submitting an image with a text written in just one line.

Step 6: If the online tool succeeds in identifying the image, you will be asked to enter the black characters in the empty text boxes. Just click “Continue” once you’re done.

So that’s it. The online tool will display a list of the font families that are identical to the font used in the image. The first result is usually the one that closely resembles the font that you want.
