Apple:AT&T wins for data speed, Verizon for call reliability
The iPhone 4S is available on three major carriers, leaving potential buyers to wonder whether AT&T, Verizon or Sprint is the better network choice.Comcast is on track to begin offering live television to subscribers’ iPads as long as they stay near their home cable boxes, executives for the cable giant said in interviews.Apple is a powerhouse of ingenuity, patenting ideas as soon as an engineer can scratch them down on paper (or iPad).
Around three dozen Apple patents made their way through the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office this week alone.Here we share three of the most notable — one helps prevent cracked cover glass, another would deliver power to multiple devices with just a single adapter, and a third is a far-reaching location-based services patent that could keep Apple’s competitors on their toes.First off, Apple has come up with a solution for keeping the glass on the back of your iDevice from breaking in the event of a fall.
Pricing plans aside, carrier quality is a significant factor in anyone’s purchasing decision, and now consumers have hard data to help them choose: A just-released study reports AT&T is tops for fast data speeds, while Verizon is the most reliable when it comes to making phone calls.Obviously, the simplest solution would be to avoid glass screens altogether, but if glass is going to stay, it should be made more resilient.The average dropped-call rate for the entire mobile industry is 1.4 percent.
The tests found that Verizon dropped calls 2.1 percent of the time, while AT&T dropped 2.8 percent of calls and Sprint lost 3.7 percent of calls. Although Sprint dropped the most calls, it had the highest call quality on the uplink (outbound calls), while AT&T had the best downlink call quality (inbound calls).The original iPhone launched exclusively with AT&T, which was the sole carrier of the iPhone until Apple announced that Verizon would also begin carrying the iPhone 4 in January 2011.
With regard to maximum data speeds, AT&T led the pack at 6,047Kbps, with Verizon a distant second at 2,371Kbps, and Sprint crawling in last with only 1,767Kbps. It’s unclear, however, exactly where Metrico tested data bandwidth, and as any iPhone-toting San Francisco resident will tell you, data quality can be terrible in areas with high concentrations of tech geeks.Prior to the launch of the iPhone 4S, rumors swirled that the phone would land on Sprint, and ultimately proved true. Of the three carriers, Sprint is the only one that provides a true unlimited data plan.

* Installing packages yet simple and automatic: detects missing codecs sources or to read documents and play music and video with ease.
* Improved power management. For laptop users, in particular, the already popular netbooks.
* Better graphics support using KMS (Kernel Mode Setting) that manages the graphical system directly from the kernel (kernel).
* Updating the RPM packaging system, optimizing disk space consumption.
* Support for fingerprint readers and the latest models of ATI cards, NVIDIA and Intel.
* Usual package updates, such as graphical environments (GNOME 2.26.1, KDE XFCE 4.2 and 4.6).
* Workflow management more flexible and simple.
Three options to choose
Fedora is available in three flavors. First, you two-disc Live CD, Less than 700 MB, you can try without installing Fedora on your hard drive. A version GNOME and other KDE. You only have to burn a CD and boot from there.

What is RSS? Survival Guide
RSS is an acronym whose meaning has changed from Rich Site Summary to RDF Site Summary to complete the most common today: Really Simple Syndication. Despite the apparent complexity of these definitions, it is actually a very simple concept.
An RSS feed or channel is only a link to a text document that contains information about the specific content page. Then we will learn more about the world of "association."
What is RSS?
Non tiing too, differentiate between the file itself and content syndication. An RSS file is simply a text file that contains information about the content of certain web page. This content is not willing in any way, but is structured using tags as well as with web pages.
The file does not have to call algo.rss, Although it frequently. XML extension is common and that is the language used in news syndication is typical of this language, but many times the file will be called in any form, the browser will be responsible for interpreting it is an RSS feed.
Below you can see the hierarchical structure OnSoftware RSS and how there is content including pure and simple, without any graphic or substitutes.
RSS syndication, also known as "subscription to a channel / RSS feed", is nothing to indicate that the action of a particular program or web page to review from time to time a channel in search of additional content.
How does an RSS feed?
An RSS feed is based on the periodic updating of its content, but there is nothing magical about this process. The whole RSS file is rewritten with new content and readers are the ones who determine what content they had seen and what not. Thus, as shown again just what has changed.
The process of updating the RSS feed is performed most often automatically by the script or CMSIn the case of a blog, or programming web site (as is the case Softonic.) Thus, whenever, for example, someone writes a new entry on his blog, the RSS file to which his followers are subscribed to change. And when they check their subscriptions, they will see this additional content.
However, as a text file that is also can be a bit more craft and create it by hand. It accounts for the invaluable help of Feed Editor, RSS Wizard u Creator Jitbit RSS.
How do I subscribe to an RSS feed?
To subscribe to an RSS feed basically need one thing: your address.
Using Firefox
If you are using Firefox and a page has an option to subscribe to your content, it is very likely to see an icon like this at the end of the address bar.
Click it and you open a page including the following:
If the drop-down list the program or Web service you want to use to subscribe, you’re in luck: you’re done. Otherwise, the browser address bar will indicate the route of the RSS feed. Copy it to the clipboard and insert it into the page or program you want to use for this task.
At other times, the links to the channels do not come automatically in the address bar, but found on the page content. Click on them and you will see the previous window, or if you prefer, use right click them and select Copy Link Location.
Using Internet Explorer
In Internet Explorer the process is quite similar, except that the icon does not appear in the address bar but in the toolbar to the right of open tabs. When activated, click on this icon will allow us to copy the RSS feed path from the address bar.
If, as in Firefox, the site has its own links to RSS feeds, you can click on them or Copy Shortcut to take the address to the clipboard.
Ways to read an RSS feed
You have at your disposal a content feed readers or RSS feeds. Here’s a tiny sample of the total number of alternatives.
Integrated mail clients
* Mozilla Thunderbird
* Windows Live Mail
* Opera
* Microsoft Outlook
Specific programs
* FeedReader
* RSSOwl
* BlogBridge
* FeedDemon
* Many more!
Websites
* Google Reader
* NetVibes
* My Yahoo!
* BlogLines
The process in all cases is usually the same. Indicate that you want to add a new subscription, and then enter the address of it.
And you what RSS reader do you use? Are you subscribed to many pages?

Install Linux on a bootable USB key
Linux has achieved something that years ago seemed unthinkable: to run an operating system without installing it on the hard disk using a CD / DVD.
Since the first versions of the LiveCD / DVD improvements have emerged, such as saving the changes, either on the same CD / DVD (provided that it supports rewriting and have a disc burner), or other unit such as a hard drive or USB memory.
In the case of USB keys or flash drives we are facing another revolution to have a fully functional version of Linux that we carry around.
This article will teach you how to install Linux on a flash drive to run on any machine and space for your documents.
From Windows
If you still have not tried Linux or Windows better manejáis you, we have several options to burn a Linux distribution on a USB key.
The first and most comprehensive is unetbootin, Which supports over 30 different distributions, among which are Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, Debian or Mandriva.
Just open it, select the distribution version you install or ISO image if you have it, and select USB drive and the letter that corresponds (in the image is the G).
Another solution from Windows Fedora provides us with his Fedora LiveUSB Creator, Which also allows to take a few MB to save documents created in Linux and automatically downloads the installation ISO image without having to do anything else.
Ubuntu is a script of the labor Pendrivelinux. The descend, Uncompress the contents to any folder and run U810p.exe, who downloaded the ISO and install it in our USB key.
From Linux
Ubuntu lets you create a bootable USB from your desktop. To do this we must open Create a USB startup disk, Which is in System / Administration Ubuntu menu. This solution also allows a space devoted to documents and files that we believe in Linux.
These options are simple and practical. However, there are many more possibilities than you can find in Pendrivelinux, Though some require knowledge of partitions and use the terminal.

Get more out of a keyboard and mouse
The keyboard and mouse are great peripheral, but Windows rarely expresses his chances. While some keyboard shortcuts are indispensable, others have a limited scope. The same applies to the mouse, whose functionality is not utilized frequently.
If you want to increase the power of these devices can use many free applications that add new features or extend existing. In the following list, with his main shortcut and a summary of the functions, we propose to ten of them:
Launchy
Shortcut: Alt + Spacebar An excellent run menu option that will show you the most relevant and icon as you type the name of the program.
gMote
Shortcut: Control + Shift + [Mouse Gesture] With gMote can create mouse gestures in Windows to do anything imaginable, from opening programs or web pages to control the video player.
ClipX
Shortcut: Control + Shift + V Best replacement for the clipboard. Keep a record of text and graphics and shows you a dropdown list for a quick hit.
WinRoll
Shortcut: Right click on the title bar This tiny utility not only the windows rolled up on themselves (and Mac), but can move to the foreground or background or minimize as an icon.
PrtScr
Shortcut: Impr. Pant. Keeping the same original shortcut, PrtScr adds a lot more power to the screenshot, you can choose the Desktop area or window and the destination of the image.
Vitrite
Shortcut: Control + Shift + [number 1 to 9] Change the transparency of any active window, from 90 to 10%. Furthermore, using + instead of a number will be in the foreground.
SuperF4
Shortcut: Control + Alt + F4 More power to the old Alt + F4. The new shortcut the process kills the foreground window instead of sending a conventional closure order.
AltDrag
Shortcut: Alt + Click + [Drag] Add to Windows easily drag a window from anywhere in your area, rather than just the title bar. Also paste between them over the edge.
Hot Corners
Shortcut: Move the mouse to a corner of the Desktop Set the four corners of your desktop to initiate a particular action, like running the screensaver, minimizing windows or search Google.
3RVX
Shortcut: Windows key + [Move mouse wheel] An intuitive way to change the sound volume by mouse wheel. The volume change is shown by an elegant box.
All of these utilities improve how to interact with Windows, but should not be exceeded, or have gone, taking action without meaning. It is best to install only that you consider most useful, Ensuring that conflicts do not occur.
Do you know of other similar utilities? What are your favorite shortcuts?

The art of pruning programs
Not all programs offer custom installations. And even if they do, it does not guarantee that they occupy less space on your hard drive, or to run more quickly. There are applications that are deployed with the poise of a meteor, with very little we can do about it. Unless proven to be useful for "slimming." That sounds with liposuction of code, a definition that does not go very misguided.
There is a whole category tools that reduce the size of the installed programs or installed using predefined criteria, without taking a bit of functionality. Others opt for "spur"-figuratively-alone applications very slow. And then there are Light versions unofficial, created from the most useful components of a suite. The goal? Using the same software optimizing available resources.
Each one usually opts for a different strategy. For example, Monolingual (For OS X) deletes the language files not used, while Sweepi (For Windows) does the same with temporary files. Those most desperate can choose to delete parts of a program that does not interest you, such as help, examples and other files that do not usually reach, with utilities such as CCleaner or FileMan.
Aligera tus programas!But not everything is clear, remove or disintegrate. The executable can be reduced in size UPX, Which compresses the binary code with spectacular results. You can also deactivate modules and DLL programs loaded into memory, for example Faber Toys or RegDllView. Such operations require, in general, advanced knowledge: one false move could have unintended consequences (such as disabling the target of our program, "intensive care").
There are also accelerators, tools that optimize the loading of a particular program. Two examples are known PDF SpeedUp or Adobe Photoshop SpeedUp. In both cases, the number of modules loaded by default which slows performance greatly, thus turning them off, but trimmed some functions, prevents graying during the sessions. Try the latest versions of Photoshop on a Pentium III requires the patience of a fakir, so any help is welcome.
But why cut the software as a bonsai if we can get already reduced? For years there has been a proliferation of versions lite popular programs that had put on an excess or whose installation was too cumbersome. Among the highlights include Nero Micro, Nero Lite, Quicktime Lite, Adobe Reader 9 Lite and Ares Lite. If we jump to the next level, the operating system nLite and vLite give users the power to configure the installation of Windows XP or Vista at will.
The question is really worth doing so much for small reductions in the occupied space or the expense of memory. In older computers, the answer is yes. In the latest, on the other hand, the difference will be felt less. As always, the choice lies with you.

The hard drive is a device still in action. You will hear its noise every time you call a program, start Windows, deleted files and so on. However, it should not “boo” all the time.
If you feel that your hard drive makes too much noise, it might be too close to the exhaustion of the free space that is fragmented or disproportionately.
Excessive hard disk activity is the main cause of failure. If you have a small amount of RAM (remember, stands for Random Access Memory), say 64 MB or less, consider upgrading the system as soon as possible. You should also frequently start Disk Defragmenter at least once a week. Why? Very easy to maintain and / or make your hard drive healthy, faster and more efficient.
Just go to Start menu – Programs – Accessories – System Tools, select “Disk Defragmenter”. It may take some time to defragment your hard (sometimes even several hours) but you’ll be rewarded with faster performance and longer life of your hard disk.
