Everyday Technology

Recently i was on techjamaica in their forums where im a regular and one of its members posted a video of persons being being tricked into thinking that what they were testing out was the new iPad 3 which really were iPad2s, check it out  here . What fellow posters in the the thread and i kept talking about is how Apple is able to reproduce the same iDevices with not much major changes to the hardware or software and continue to reap a lot from it, but as usual there are always going to be devoted apple fans that hate  when you talk the truth. I might sound as if i hate Apple but i dont,  in fact i love using there products.Then what is the reason for this post ?..it is merely just to give users of these products a heads up when upgrading to the "latest". Reasons to get an iPad 3: You never had a device made by Apple. You care about performance and for you the iPad 1 or 2 just wasn't cutting it. You care about hardware and you love the fact that it is built

According to a post on  tapscape.com   the iPad 3 looks set to launch at the same price as the iPad 2 according to a tip-off published by 9to5Mac . Accorging to them there post not only will the iPad 3 cost the same as the iPad 2, but it will also be available in the same three sizes as its predecessor – 16GB, 32GB and 64GB. original story  here .

The ALGOL (Algorithmic Programming Language) developed in the mid 1950’ s with the aims of: Creating a a language for scientific computation.  A language that was machine independent.  A universally accepted Programming Language.  Being the first language that Addressed the issue of software portability. All these goalswere acheved by an international Committe  in the late 1950s’ in a report entitled Algol58 followed by other reports etitled Algol60 and Algol68 respectively .Like many other languages it had a few problems here and there:  Although machine independence enabled developers to be more creative it made implementing more difficult. Despite the fact that the commercial populatrity of the Algol Family was not as great as other languages in its time such as Cobal and Fortran, but  you could say that its algorithmic structure was, which made it the most important language of its time. Languages which were later developed  after (B,C,CPL,Pascal,ADA just to nam

iTech: Anonymous hacks call between FBI and Scotland Yard... :   Anonymous hacks call between FBI and Scotland Yard...: A recent trans-Atlantic call between the FBI and the UK's Scotland Yard in which operatives from the two law enforcement agencies were discussing current matters involving several hacker groups was intercepted by the hacker group Anonymous and posted to the web after editing. Anonymous over the past several months have been hacking into and defacing websites mostly owned by government in protest to the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA).The Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) is a multi-national agreement for the purpose of establishing international standards for intellectual property rights enforcement.

Dennis MacAlistair Ritchie I could not resist taking a look at Dennis Ritchie in this series of great computer   scientist/engineers. Dennis MacAlistair Ritchie best known as the father of the c programming language was born on September 9, 1941  in Bronxville, New York to Alistair E. Ritchie a Bell Labs scientist. Early in his life Ritchie moved to New Jersey, where he attended Summit High School. Ritchie graduated from Harvard University with degrees in physics and applied mathematics. In 1967, he began working at the Bell Labs Computing Sciences Research Center, and in 1968, he received a PhD from Harvard under the supervision of Patrick C. Fischer, his doctoral dissertation being "Program Structure and Computational Complexity”. During his time at Bell Labs He developed the C Programming Language  which was used as a key stepping stone in the creation of the unix operating system which he played a major role along with Ken Thompson, the scientis

EarlyChicken! my OOP Projects' archive and random stuffs. Early Chicken Blog Stalk Me About me Thanks to 11 Mar Nokia C3 Multitasking - Run multiple Apps Tutorial Nokia C3 is running on s40 platform, and s40 is not capable of multitasking. Yes! That's true, though only in the hands of average users. But for advance users, not afraid to tweak its phone to its full potential, Nokia C3 is very capable multitasking phone. You heard it right, once hacked Nokia C3 can rival its s60 big brothers, like the Nokia E63. Advantages: Put simply, while your browsing your favorite website via your favorite web browser(eg OperaMini, Bolt, etc)  or your playing a game, then someone sent you an sms message. On normal Nokia C3, you have to close the application first, closing that means, you cant continue what you are doing later on, then you can read the message. On hacked Nokia C3, you can just minimize the application, read the sms mess

Over the years we have gotten accustomed to  the fighting for the top spots in computing between two major companies. One company you could say is power hungry and tries to have complete control over its users and the other company not so much as it allows its users to make modifications to an extent making it the greater of the two evils in my opinion. As some of you readers might have already guessed im talking about the epic battle between Microsoft and Apple, two of the biggest household and commercial names when it comes on to desktops, laptops and recently tablets. Both Microsoft and Apple have come a long way in there competition  but all that may change in the future, how is that you may ask,  i can sum it up all in one word Google.The growing popularity of the Android operating system has started taking its toll on both Microsoft and Apple as it has started taking over the mobile market with alot of good reviews coming in from both developers a
