Huawei WP 8 Device

PC Online,a Chinese language site,as posted several pictures of what it describes as a "another suspected Huawei Windows Phone 8 device". The pictures show a device with a white polycarbonate shell, the standard ports and buttons and Windows Phone 8 branding.

The device in the pictures is clearly different to the leaked Ascend W1, with more angular lines, an off set camera, and smaller bezel. However, it is also possible that it is a design variant, or pre-production sample. It does have a passing resemblance to a number of other Huawei handsets (e.g. Ascend P1, M886).






Multi-User Support In Android 4.2


Soon after Jellybean's arrival, there was this rumour  about the possibility of multi-user support finally coming to Android, with news that the groundwork for such a system was already in place. Indeed, it wasn’t long before we saw some custom ROMs start tapping in to the system hooks for the feature, giving us an early look at how it might work. Chances are looking good that Google will announce Android 4.2 next Monday, and if this screenshot isn’t fake, that could mark the arrival of Android’s full-fledged multi-user mode.





Reasons Why Snapdragon S4 Pro Performs So Brilliantly




Single Core Vs Dual core was the main debate a few months ago.As expected, there was quite a bit of jump in day-to-day activities when we went from one to two cores. No so with dual core vs quad core.....

                   Some have argued that we haven’t seen a similar performance bump because Android isn’t optimized for quad-core processors. I’m sure there’s some truth to that, however, it looks like SoC architecture – rather than the number of cores — is more important to overall performance than just putting more cores.

                      The Snapdragon S4 Pro is the latest and greatest SoC  at present. It’s performing amazingly well too. What’s more, the little processor is smashing all the benchmarks and only sipping at the battery juice!

Agreed,the S4 Pro performs well, but before we dwell into further details of why that is happening, let’s clear up some confusion surrounding the S4 family.

The Snapdragon S4 Pro could be considered the “middle” processor in the S4 line-up. The reasons for this claim are:

1.The S4 Play comes in dual or quad-core configurations up to 1.2 GHz, it’s also based on the Cortex-A5 and includes an Adreno 230 GPU.

2.The S4 Plus occupies the third slot with a dual-core configuration up to 1.7 GHz based on the Krait architecture with a GPU up to  the Adreno 305.

3.The fourth and fifth slots are where the S4 Pro comes into play. Available in either dual-core or quad-core, also up to 1.7 GHz, and also based on the Krait architecture with an Adreno 320 GPU.

4.The sixth and highest position is held by the S4 Prime: quad-core up to 1.7 GHz,  Krait-based, with an Adreno 320 GPU.

Battery Power

                   Whenever we talk about extra processing power or graphics resolution we have to discuss their effects on battery life. One would think that, generally speaking, the more powerful the CPU/GPU, the more power it consumes. Not correct,actually.
               As processor technology advances a few interesting things happen. Circuit paths get smaller so power requirements drop. Less heat is produced so there’s less resistance which also contributes to a reduction in power demands.
                    As graphics processors get better they can take more load off the CPU which can not only make things look a whole lot nicer, it can also help reduce power consumption as well. 
                  I don’t think we’ll see batteries get any smaller (in capacity) any time soon, but looking at how much extra power is harnessed inside the the processors, the battery required to power them is a lot smaller than you might have imagined.

CPU

              In the chart below you can see where the Scorpion- and Krait-class processors stack up against the ARM Cortex specs. The Krait is considered a “Cortex-A15-class” processor by some, but not by others.

                     So it seems that the S4 s are gonna put the Tegras out of business,eh?


Xbox SmartGlass For Android


Gamers have been looking forward to Microsoft’s SmartGlass for the Xbox 360 for months now, with the company announcing the project in the summer. With a SmartGlass app on your smartphone, you’ll be able to interact with your game console in all new ways, acting like a wireless gamepad, an extra screen, or even a virtual keyboard.
First of all, you’ll need an Android smartphone running Ice Cream Sandwich or better; sorry, those of you still waiting patiently for your Android 4.0 update to arrive. There’s also a requirement for at least a WVGA resolution.

With the app installed, and your 360 updated to the latest dashboard, you can start navigating the console’s UI with a touch of your smartphone’s screen. SmartGlass apps will also be arriving for Windows Phone and iOS devices.

How To Get My Website Approved By Adsense

AdSense is the best and most used revenue generation program for small to large publishers.There are very few other services which can offer you the possibility to make money by blogging or operating a website, the way AdSense can give you(though bloggers will be remved from Adsense in December). However AdSense and subsequently Google is famous for its strict policies that govern AdSense program.
Get AdSense approved - tips for getting and Ad Sense approved publisher account. 

 Here are a few tips which will help your website to get approved by Adsense

1.Write proper content 

             Content is the key to popularity.and don't deviate from your main topic.I have seen many bloggers getting deviated.Do not believe that you will write anything and Google will approve you. You must select a proper primary topic that is targeted for general audience.Plus, Google will never approve pornographic websites.

2.Choosing the proper language

              Make sure that the language that you write your blog in is supported by Google .

3.Promote

         Social media plays very important role nowadays. You should promote your website on social media a bit before applying for AdSense.

 4.Ask an experienced blogger to review your blog or website before applying.

                 You can ask an experienced blogger to review your blog or website before submitting for AdSense approval.

5.Read Adsense policies carefully

             This is by far the most important step I consider for getting approved by AdSense. You have to be very clear with Google AdSense program policies.

6.Reapply after correcting the mistakes

              Remember if your account is disapproved by Google twice then it might permanently disapprove you account.You don't want that right?So,while reapplying make sure that you have completely eliminated the issue specified by AdSense for disapproval earlier.

               Finally I would like to say that  AdSense does not need you to do something impossible to get approved, you just have to do some simple things for some time and you can get approved. You should not try doing something silly in anticipation of getting AdSense approved. There is no secret formula or method of getting approved by AdSense.

Sonic Jump Game Review

   The latest installment in the series of Sonic games is Sonic Jump(for smartphones). However, unlike the other games that were released previously, this is a completely new game and not just a port from some other platform.
Sonic Jump

With Sonic Jump, the series has taken a new direction, and I am absolutely serious. Instead of the previous side scrolling or the third person sprinting, Sonic Jump takes you straight up, as you vertically jump from one platform to another.


Title  :  Sonic Jump
Developer : SEGA
Platform: iOS
Release Date: October 2015(November for Android)
Size:97.7MB
Price:$1.99

Click here to download the game.

     Now lets start with how to play the game.
                  You have a character that is constantly bouncing and you have to control him around so he doesn’t fall off the platforms or hit an enemy. You control the character by tilting the device left or right. To jump higher mid-air, tap once on the screen. You will have enemies to deal with and to take them down just jump towards them from below. Hitting them from the sides or the top means you will be the one taking the damage.
Gameplay In Sonic jump

This is a Sonic game, so obviously there are rings to collect. You can collect as many rings as you can but if you hit an enemy or a spike strip you lose all of them. Hit something again when you have zero rings and you die. At times you will find safes during a level that you can use to store all the rings you have collected till that point so if you hit something you don’t lose all of them.

Along with the rings, you also have three stars to collect during the level. Depending upon the number of rings and stars you collected and the time you took to reach the top, you get rated in the end. You don’t need a great rating to complete the level; just reaching the top does the trick but you might want to play the levels again to get a better rating. Completing the level unlocks the next one.

         To make this game more social,you can even compete with your friends through the game center.
Collecting Rings
The pacing of the game in the initial levels was a bit slow and it was fairly easy to complete the level without breaking into a sweat. But by the second world things go up several notches and while before it hardly took any effort to collect all the rings and reach the top, you would now have a hard time even reaching halfway through the level without dying several times.
     Helping you through the game are several power-ups that you can use, such as magnets that attract nearby rings towards you, shield for protection against enemies, etc. You can either purchase them using the rings you collected or you can also often find them within the level while playing. If you don’t have enough rings, you can purchase more using in-app purchase option.

Power Ups
While reading about the premise one might assume that the game would become boring pretty quickly but that does not happen. Sonic Jump introduces new gameplay mechanics at a frequent rate so with every other level you have a new challenge to look out for. The platforms you jump on eventually start sliding around, flipping upside down, crumbling underneath you and at times, completely disappearing. You have spike strips to watch out for, enemies that explode when you’re near them, fans that blow you sideways and giant boulders dropping down from the top. Keeping up with all of this requires the reaction times of a fly on Red Bull and perfect timing for the double jump or else you would soon have to start all over again.

This game doesn't provide that kind of an adrenalin rush but it is still quite good For $1.99, Sonic Jump is well worth the money and worth checking out
