Nexus 4 Leaked Manual

I hope by now everyone knows what the Nexus 4 is or at least has heard about it.Well,as it turns out ,this is probably the worst kept secret in the mobile industry.First,it was lost in a bar about a month ago,and even before its official announcement,I have previewed it. And now,guess what it is the manual's turn to get leaked.

.


The manual which has subsequently been removed from LG's website reveals yet again the Nexus 4's close relationship with the LG Optimus G. Built-in 8 and 16GB memory options are all but confirmed, as well as the presence of induction coil for wireless charging.
The LG Nexus 4 will be unveiled at a Google event in New York City on Monday with the also leaked, Samsung made Google Nexus 10.

              What do you think of the new Nexus device?Is it going to be the best android smartphone?

How To Make Money From Youtube Videos

Like making videos & posting them on Youtube?Well,you can easily earn a few bucks from the videos.Her is how.

Since people post hundreds of funny or informative videos on Youtube, money can be earned only if a person gets partnership in Youtube’s partner program. Youtube shares profit with the owner of video that is gained by the clicking of viewers on the video. A fixed percentage of money is given to the video’s owner.

When a person uploads a video and his/her video starts getting thousands of clicks and views then he/she gets an email from Youtube that says the person to apply for the revenue sharing. For getting profit from the video at least 10,000 views are needed. To earn a large amount of money half a million views and clicks are required. If a person’s video has started getting views then he/she should sign up for the Google Adsense and read the terms and conditions of Youtube for protecting the video. Don’t let anyone else earn money from the video.

Here are some steps for uploading videos and earning money:

1.The first step is to make a video which is interesting, always try to make videos that are of high quality.

2.Second step is the uploading of video, create a good enough title and upload it. The title is pretty important,it must be attractive and the topic of the video must be unique if a person really wants to get thousands of clicks on it.

3.A great way of the promotion of video is to write informative articles with the videos attached with them and promote it on different sites like StumbleUpon or Digg.

4.Make blogs for the promotion of videos. There is a possibility that the internet users viewing the blog clicks and views the videos.

5.Join the YouTube partner program, it links the YouTube account of the video owner with his/her Google Adsense account and as the views of the video cross 10,000 YouTube shares revenue. A person should apply for the revenue sharing when he has enough videos uploaded and a large number of views of the videos.

6.If the application is rejected by the YouTube  a person can apply again. But before applying again increase the views of video by promoting it. The approval depends on the number of views of the video.

6.There are specific terms and conditions of YouTube on sharing revenue. YouTube never allows a person to earn money with the videos that are not good for kids. The content should be owned by the person uploading it and has the permission of the people shown in the video for uploading. A person has to upload the videos regularly in order to earn money with YouTube Partners program. If the person uploading the video is not the creator of that video then he must have the permission of the video owner. So, all the above stated things should be kept in mind.
               Following these steps,I am sure that you will be able to earn money from Youtube. Please share your experiences in the comments below.

Website Hacking

I am pretty sure that everyone is interested in hacking.So here are a few methods by which people can hack a website.
                 Before hacking any website, a hacker needs to hack the IP address of the site. An IP address can be found by running a simple command on your system.


1.Go to ‘run command’ or press (windows + r), then type cmd and press enter.
2.Use the following command with the URL of the website for retrieving its IP address.
3. Once you have got the IP, you can scan it to see what hacking protections the site is using and what type of loop holes it has.

Once you have successfully found out these, some common hacking methods that can be applied to hack the website.

1.Brutal force attack

            This method does exactly what its name suggests. In simple words, this method uses all possible key matches to decrypt a message or password. It is very simple and effective but extremely slow. Therefore, this method can only be used if other methods don’t work for the site.

2.Cross Site Scripting Method

               This is a type of computer security vulnerability which is found in web applications. Basically the application contains hidden client-side scripts in it. Attackers inject it into web pages when affected users visit a website. This method is used to gain or bypass access controls.

3.Ddos Attack

            If a hacker wants to make a website down rather than gaining access to it, then this method is perfect. Using Ddos, you can overload the resources and render the system unusable or extremely slow so that no one can is able to access the site.

4.SQL Injection

             Basically it’s a code injection technique which works when the user input has an incorrect filter system for string literal escape characters, which are embedded in statements using SQL. SQL injection also exploits security vulnerability when it occurs in the database layer of some applications when user input is weak enough to crack.  Attackers can influence the queries that stream to the back-end database when they use SQL injection.

5.Parameter Tampering

             Clients and server regularly exchange parameters to modify application data like user credentials and permissions, price and quantity updates of products and many more. These parameters can be tampered by Web Parameter Tampering attack as they are important for increasing the functionalities of the applications and controls.

6.Attacking default Credentials

              When a hardware or network application is developed, a set of default credentials like a default username and password is set for gaining administrative access to the system. Some webmasters or users do not bother changing the defaults. These defaults can be easily attacked and cracked to gain unauthorized access to the system.

Taking proper precautions for unethical hacking can protect your site and databases from hackers. If you really care about your site and personal information, then it will be a priceless investment if you spend some time to know the most popular and possible ways a website of hacking a website. Once you are aware of them, you can easily find any loophole or weak point and take actions if necessary or you can simply inform your webmaster about your observation so that he/she can take preventive measures.

LG Nexus Lost In a Bar

Remember how the Iphone 4 got lost on April 1?Well,the same thing has happened to the LG Nexus ,and this had actually happened in September.
                      The phone was found in a San Francisco bar and the bartender that found it didn’t know what to make of it first. He showed it to a tech-savvy bar patron who instantly recognized the device.

             


Unlike the iPhone story, the two decided to talk straight to Google to return the lost phone. Even so, they didn’t avoid the unpleasantness of dealing with a big company trying to protect its secrets.
             The story pretty quickly turns into something that could make a decent movie with an unrelated incident causing a riot attack at a local police station as the Google security guy and a lawyer representing the bartender were inside.
                As you know, there's a Google event this Monday when the LG Nexus 4 smartphone is expected to be officially announced, but also a 10" Nexus tablet by Samsung and updated Nexus 7 with 32GB storage and 3G.

CrackingSands Game Review

I am sure everyone has played kart games in their lives,some on a mobile device,others on PCs while others on gaming consoles while others have played it in their real lives!So CrackingSands is also a kart racing game on WP mobile devices.So whats the difference?Can it provide that adrenaline rush?Lets find out.

While it's, strictly speaking, an off-road 4x4 and not a kart, looking at the graphics, let's skip over that. You'll be steering using the accelerometer on your smartphone, turning it left and right like a steering wheel. To keep the button count down, you will always accelerate when you can. Tapping on the left side of the screen will 'jump' your vehicle (okay, I'm calling it a kart from now on, sue me) into the air, which is vital to catch the fuel for your power-ups.

Well,what makes it unique is that this kart doesn't have brakes(yeah,you saw that right!).There's no way to slow your kart down in this game (apart from being shot at by your opponents, which isn't recommended). Without a brake, you also miss one of my favourite things from a karting game, which is the ability to do a power-slide and turn at speed.



Thankfully, the lack of a good brake is not a game-ending decision. What is a bit of a concern is the camera angle. You'll be watching the Cracking Sands action from a very high viewpoint. It feels like you are looking down on your kart from a 60 degree angle, when the majority of racing games will have something a little closer to eye level.

This has some advantages, especially in the graphics department - you don't need to look down the track as far as you would with a lower camera angle, which means there is less to draw on the screen, with the resulting benefits to frame rate and the speed of the game. It does mean you are going to be relying on the in-vision view of the track to see what turn is coming up next, because the turns are on you so quickly that it's hard to react, and your large turning circle is the only thing that isn't especially kart-like.




The final element of the kart game is the weaponry. With the limited space on the touchscreen, Cracking Sands handles this pretty well. Your four weapons are always available if you have something left in the power meter. While "turbo, gun, rocket and bomb" are pretty standard choices, having them always available is a smart choice for a mobile game you dip in and out of.

This means that you have to make decisions not just on what to use, but when to use them, because even with a full power bar you'll empty it very quickly with just a few seconds of turbo or a rocket or two lobbed towards the opposition. This simple tweak lifts the game from mindless racer to something a little bit more strategic - and that's just enough to outweigh the power-sliding and graphical issues. Admittedly that's a very personal opinion, and I'd urge racing fans to pick up the trial version to see if they can live with these slightly quirky design choices.

What is well designed are the various tracks on offer here. They have a certain solidity to them, with a lot of variation. Take the various ramps you can jump from - some of them are simply sheets of metal laid down, others are sand banks, cliff ledges, or a few planks of wood. The variance is impressive for items that are essentially fulfilling the same function.

Each circuit has a central route that you are expected to take, but the sharp eyed player will recognise there are alternate routes, perhaps with more fuel tanks, and shortcuts that can be taken. There's a certain amount of exploring you are going to have to do if you want to get the most from your time on the road.



Developers Polarbit should get points for getting the balance point just right on Cracking Sands - this is the finest handling Kart game on Windows Phone, full stop. Not only that, but they've managed to keep that quality through the menu and user interface, and the options available to play the game.

The game is built round a campaign mode. When you start this, only one race is open to you. Play through this successfully and you'll pick up enough stars to open up other races. This includes the single race option from the main menu screen. This gives a sense of accomplishment as you work through the game (something that is occasionally lacking when all you do is pound round in a circle). Perhaps Polarbit could have been a little bit more generous in offering playing options - at points it feels like you are being told what to play next, rather than being offered a choice.

So can this game provide "that adrenalin rush"?Yes,probably for me,but that depends.I suggest you check out the trial version first and then move on to actually buying the game.

Ten Things To Lose In Blackberry 10

BlackBerry 10 is a new platform and there is much to be gained for BlackBerry users. But what about things the dedicated Blackberry users are losing?


To be certain, there are things we will be giving up as BlackBerry Smartphones make the leap up from the legacy BlackBerry OS to the QNX-based BlackBerry 10 platform.At the same time, based on what we have seen of BlackBerry 10 preview software and devices so far (the Dev Alpha A and B and unofficial leaked images that have surfaced of the L and N series), it appears blackberry will be losing a handful of things that many of us have come to love on our current BlackBerry Smartphones.

10 Things To Lose in BlackBerry 10 (maybe, sorta...things change) 

               Keep in mind as you read this that items on the list *could* change. It's based on observations to date leading up to the launch of the first BB10 phones in 2013. BlackBerry 10 is a new platform that RIM will continue to build on for the next ten years. That's a long time. Which means anything can change. A few of the things we'll lose are certain. Others we put question marks around.

1. The Trackpad 

Starting from the  trackwheel to the trackball and onto the optical trackpad, there has always been a stationary navigation input on BlackBerry phones. However, with BlackBerry 10 it's all about swiping and tapping on the touchscreen display, even on the physical keyboard model.

This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone at this point.Given that the PlayBook OS never made use of a menu key, back button or navigation input other than the touchscreen, it seems practical  that this completely touchscreen user interface would evolve to remain fully touchscreen on the phone too.


Is losing the trackpad a big loss? I don't believe so. In fact, I think maintaining the trackpad on BlackBerry 10 would only confuse the user experience. Think about the peek and flow gestures that are so fundamental to the BlackBerry 10 experience. It seems like making these gestures work off a trackpad would be extremely tricky, given their nature. Would you want to be able to swipe up on the trackpad to peek in to the BlackBerry Hub too? Or just off the display? How about glancing back within apps to the different layers within the app? Via the trackpad too? Or just the display?

2. Call / End Call / Menu Key / Back Button

 

Along with the track button being removed on BlackBerry 10, so are the buttons that flanked it on both sides.

To me, losing the dedicated call and end call buttons is not that big of a deal since the call button is present in the OS itself at the bottom left corner of the display on the home screen. It's still highly accessible, which is what matters most. Even within an app, it's so easy to swipe up to return to the homescreen and access the call button, that losing the dedicated button should not be a concern. As for the end call button, you only really need it there when you're ending a call - it would just be taking up precious real estate if it was always there. On the legacy BlackBerry OS the end call button served double duty as a way to get back to the homescreen. That's not needed in BlackBerry 10.

 Having the menu and back buttons located next to the trackpad helps maintain that speed and one-handed ease of use on current BlackBerry Smartphones. You really do have full control over the phone within an inch. But as I demonstrated with a video of BlackBerry Messenger running on a preview build of BlackBerry 10, the in-app experience is so buttery smooth and fast, that I don't think these buttons will be missed. The ability to swipe back within an app and swipe or tap into menus is very fast (and fun!). Watch below to see what I mean...

3. Convenience Keys

 

BlackBerry Smartphones historically had two programmable convenience keys, one on each side of the phone. Then the one on the left was removed on more recent models, leaving only the one on the right (exception - they did add a dedicated BBM key back onto a couple of models).

With BlackBerry 10 phones, it appears we're now down to zero convenience keys. Removing the buttons does simplify the experience a bit, and most likely helps keep the costs of the hardware down . But power users like having shortcuts,right?

6. Charging Contacts

Not every model of BlackBerry to date has had charging contacts, but it's something many of us are used to having and expect to have on a flagship BlackBerry. The main purpose of the charging contacts is for the device to easily sit in a charging pod (especially important for a portrait orientation phone, when the USB was high up on the left side of the device). The charging pod has always been an additional accessory, which means a lot of BlackBerry users to date have never even used the charging contacts, instead charging via the USB port.

I'm sure with BlackBerry 10 we'll still see charging stands available for devices, they'll just work via USB instead. On the full touchscreen device, it's easy enough to use the usb as the connector to the charging stand. Just lie the phone horizontal into the charging stand, and it's all good. RIM took this approach way back with the BlackBerry Storm and it's always worked. It will be interesting to see how charging stands pan out with physical keyboard BB10 devices. If they put the USB port at the bottom of the phone, then it can easily connect to a charging stand. However, if they were to put the USB up on the left side of the phone, then with no charging contacts things could get a little weird.

6. Third Party Themes

 

Though many theme developers and BlackBerry owners have been hoping third party themes would come to BlackBerry 10, it has been officially announced they will not be supported. At least for the foreseeable future (anything can change, right?).

For people who have never changed up their theme from the default one, this probably isn't a big deal. For people who like to personalize their phone and love changing up themes, it is.

In the past with the legacy BlackBerry OS, theme developers could really do a lot with Theme Builder, altering pretty much the entire user experience of the device. Beyond just changing up icons and color schemes, we saw a lot of creativity in the actual UI.

I'm a huge fan of personalization. Changing up wallpapers is a start, but I'd love to see theming options come to BlackBerry 10. Even limited ones, for example the ability to change up the default icons to new ones. We've already seen differing opinions on the native icons on BlackBerry 10. That's where the need to theme comes in. You can make everybody happy.

7.  Keyboard Shortcuts?

This one is a bit of a question mark. On the legacy BlackBerry OS, there are TONS of keyboard shortcuts, but we have yet to see them transition over to the QNX-based OS. Will they come? We're not sure. With full touchscreen devices, there isn't much point to having them, even though you can slide up the keyboard from basically anywhere on the OS (it's just quicker to tap into whatever you want to do).

When you have a physical keyboard, however, it's really nice to be able to use keyboard shortcuts. Being able to map contacts to keyboard buttons and dial them up just by pressing is awesome. And tons of power users love to launch apps from the keyboard on the current OS. Beyond that on the current BBOS, there are lots of other keyboard commands that pull up different screens and functions. Not a lot of average users take advantage of those ones, but power users love them.

8. In / Out Holster Profile Settings?

* Update - Couple things here... A) When you go to the Device Password screen on the Dev Alpha, there is an option for "Lock Device Upon Holstering".
There appears to be a "sleeper magnet" on the Dev Alpha B. Running a magnet over the back of the device, there is a spot that flips the switch, so the display turns on and off when you move over it with a magnet. In the past, the purpose of this was to put the device into standby mode and trigger the in-holster notification profile. Having the sleeper functionality is handy - when you put the phone into a case that has a sleeper magnet, it ensures you'll never accidentally turn of the display. It's locked off until you pull it out of the case, at which time the display automatically is turned on.

For those who used a holster, the in-holster settings were super useful too. For example, when holstered you could have the phone ring louder and vibrate, but when out of the holster it wouldn't vibrate and ring quieter.

As of now on the preview build of BB10 on the Dev Alpha B, there are no holster settings options.

9. Google Maps?

You can download Google Maps today for your BlackBerry Smartphone. With BlackBerry 10, Research In Motion has announced Tom Tom as their traffic and mapping partner. As of now, we don't really know if we'll see Google Maps become available as a third party application for BB10. A lot of people love Google Maps, myself included, so we'll keep our fingers crossed on this one.

10. Apps like QuickLaunch?

 

The legacy BlackBerry OS gave developers a lot of APIs, to the extent where developers could really alter and fix up the device. Over the years, third party developers were faster than RIM in a lot of cases at improving native OS features. Remember how HTML email viewing came to BlackBerry via a third party app long before it was ever built in?

RIM has already opened up a lot of APIs to developers and more are on the way, but it seems with the new QNX-based OS that developers won't be able to roll out some of these utility/function-based apps as they have in the past with the legacy BBOS. We'll have to see on this one though.

Google Nexus 10 Preview

Google's upcoming Nexus 10 slate already has leaked.Set to be officially unveiled on Monday, the device packs impressive specifications, headed by a stunning 10.1" display with a iPad beating resolution of 2560x1600 pixels and a pixel density of 298.9ppi.

        


The Google Nexus 10 will feature a brand new dual-core Samsung Exynos 5250 chipset, whose Cortex-A15 cores run at 1.7GHz. The new silicon is reportedly faring better in benchmark scores than the quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro and Apple's custom A6, but we got no actual scores confirming that.
The Mali -T604 GPU is also brand new - it should be able to handle the massive amount of pixels with ease. Two gigs of RAM, 16GB of non-expandable built-in memory (other options will likely be available), 5MP camera (you can check out its samples here) with front-facing companion, and full connectivity suite are also on board.
The back of the slate appears to be made of metal, while the dual-speakers at its front remind us of its Samsung roots. The tablet is said to be remarkably thin for its size.
The Google Nexus 10 will launch with Android 4.2, which will still go by the name Jelly Bean, but will bring a number of improvements to the OS. The more notable ones include improved camera UI, and connectivity toggles in the notification area.

The nexus 10 will launch at a Google Event in New York on Monday
