Christmas Fun On Facebook


1 Comment »

posted in software news, by BindApple

Since most of our everyday tasks have online equivalents why not move a part of Christmas on the internet as well? Most of us spend up to 10 hours in front of a computer or a laptop and we are so covered up in our work, we forget that we sometimes have to shut down that PC and help our families with Christmas preparations. That is one way that gets us in the Christmas spirit. The other is Giftreez.

Giftreez is a Facebook application that allows you to have your very own virtual Christmas tree and decorate it with gifts you receive from your Facebook friends. When you first launch this application, you will see a picture with 6 different trees for you to choose from. At first, you tree will be small, but once you start gathering up points, you can upgrade the tree and make it medium sized or large. Gathering points is simple.



You have to invite as many Facebook friends as you can and convince them to install this application on their profiles as well. When a friend has installed the application and chosen one of the 6 trees available, you can see them in the “Browse treez” tab. By clicking on a friend’s tree, you will be directed to their page where you can vote that tree and give them gifts. For every tree that you like, you get one point and for gift that you give away, you get 10 points. You will also receive 2 points every time someone likes your tree and if they send you a gift that is another 5 points.

Gather 750 such points and you can upgrade your tree to medium size and if you gather 1500 points, you can have a really big Christmas tree. When you choose to send gifts to your friends, you have to choose between different decorations like glowing lights, beautiful tree globes and even candles. Just drag and drop them to your friend’s tree and if they don’t like the arrangement, they can customize the tree and move the decorations around as they please. You can do the same with the gifts that the others give you. Since this application is brand new, we’ll probably see more and more gifts available aside from the one we already have. Convince your friends to install the application and start giving and receiving.

That is probably one of the best parts of Christmas, the fact that you give and receive gifts. You can also be the number one decorator in your network but you have to gather as many points as you can in order for that to happen. The part is that these gifts you send are free but it probably won’t save you from buying some actual presents for the family. Also make sure your boss doesn’t see you playing with Facebook applications at work or he might forget about the Christmas spirit. It’s that simple, join in, choose your tree, invite friends and then let Giftreez begin.

Apple Macbooks Vs Windows Notebook Pc’s


3 Comments »

posted in hardware, software news, by BindApple

You want to buy yourself a laptop, but what type should it be: an Apple macbook or notebook pc that has a Windows operating system?

In the next lines we will present to the cons and pros for each one so that you will the best choice for you.

There are many myths surrounding both of them and the first myth is that a macbook is not able to do the things a notebook pc can. Well this is not entirely true, because nowadays macbooks can support almost the same application as notebooks can. Let’s take, for example, Microsoft Office, this software can be used on a notebook but also on a macbook. Thanks to the Intel Core Duo or Intel Core 2 Duo processor you can find on a macbook, you can use your favorite applications on your macbook. Some voices say that the macbooks have an operating system that is more intuitive than notebooks operating system and because of this feature macbooks are easy to use and more intuitive while notebooks are less intuitive and have a complicated way to work. This aspect is a matter choice because not everyone is looking for an intuitive computer and some of you like a challenge. If you like a challenge and you don’t like an intuitive environment than you should have a notebook pc.

The operating systems are very different. The macbooks operating system comes with everything your computer needs to work well: all the basic applications are already installed so you don’t have to install them, the web camera is installed that means when you fist turn on your macbook you can chat online with your friends. At notebooks is not that easy, you have to install a lot of divers for a lot of application if you want your computer to work: the hard drive software, the webcam’s software, software for the wireless recognition (if you want to have a wireless connections to the Internet) and many more.

The macbook are save form the Internet viruses while notebook pc’s aren’t. If you want to be safe while browsing the Internet and you have a notebook you have to find an antivirus software and install it on your computer, but sometimes even this antivirus won’t keep your notebook safe from the malware aimed at it.

Both computes use the same universal file formats: MP3, PDF, AVI, WAV etc. and by using similar programs we can say that they work in the same way at this aspect. The price between them is not the same; the notebook pc’s cost more than macbooks even if they have the same features, applications and can do the same things like surf the Internet, basic business functions and more. But if you want to write a document on Microsoft Word or to open a PDF file you should buy the software because notebooks don’t come with these applications and a lot more.

Buying a macbook or a notebook is a matter of choice because both support a lot of new applications and new technologies. The notebook pc is a lot easier to use than a macbook but the macbook has a better operating system than the notebook has.

The macbooks and pc’s market in a free one in terms of design, software and hardware, so if you want to buy a macbooks you have the possibility to choose what type of software will be in it, what kind of hardware, you can choose the display, the memory, the brand and the design. Apple doesn’t allow you to do that and you only have a few options to choose from when you want to buy a macbook.

The Mac is based on Darwin, NetBSB and FreeBSD which makes the macbooks user-friendly and a lot more flexible than the notebook.

apple-macbooks-vs-windows-notebook-pc-s-7


At aesthetics department many of you tend to believe that macbooks win, because they are more appealing than notebooks and have a great look. If you search the market you will find a lot of notebooks that look better than the macbooks, let’s take for example Sony Vaio Nebula, Ailenware or Dell Latitude Z, all of these notebooks look great.

At software upgrades the macbooks win because the Apple OS software upgrades are a lot cheaper than the software upgrades on notebooks and Windows.

The notebook pc’s have a life time of about 5 years and in this 5 years the costs of the software you are going to use will add up over time but when you buy it, you can buy it with a lot less money than a macbook. For example the cheapest macbook an Apple Store is $999 but not anyone can afford it and if you don’t have that money you can always buy a notebook that will cost you around $500.

apple-macbooks-vs-windows-notebook-pc-s-8


Macbook vs notebook pc’s are a matter of debate and they will be for a long time even if they got closer and closer in matter of the applications they have and support, the hardware they use, the design and the cost of them. The only think that separates them a lot is their operating systems that are very different and will continue to stay this way.

Doesn’t matter what type of laptop (macbook or notebook) you buy, if you get one that will be able to help you a lot with your job or your hobbies. The most important thing for a laptop is to be able to do the things which it was programmed to do.

How Can You Tell The Difference Between Apple iPhone 2g & 3g


No comments

posted in software news, by BindApple

iPhone is the coolest and the best smartphone on the market. It can do a lot of thinks and it can help you with its features and applications even if you are a business man or you just want to play some mobile games.

The iPhone 3G is very fashionable but you can’t forget iPhone 2G, the iPhone that many of you still use. In this line we are trying to find out the main differences between them and the features that both have.
iphone2g-vs-iphone3g

Many of you think that 2G comes from the 2nd generation and 3G comes from 3rd generation, but this is not entirely true. iPhone 2G was the first iPhone on the market, so this is the first generation iPhone and iPhone 3G was the second model which makes it second generation. The main difference between them is the technology:

-          The 2G technology comes from second-generation wireless phone technology. This technology allows digital encrypted conversations and the technology that allows us to send SMS text messages and e-mails. In the 2G technology the radio signal are digital a huge advancement from the 1G when the radio signals were analog. In 2G technology the digital voice data can be multiplexed and compressed more efficiently than the 1G. 2G mobiles are smaller due to the digital systems that were created to transmit less radio power. The 2G technology increase a lot the sound quality comparing it to the 1G technology. 2G technology offers to mobile phones a lot more privacy because 1G phone didn’t have any protection against eavesdropping.

iphone-3g-vs-iphone-2g


-          The 3G technology comes from third-generation wireless phone technology and allows us to make video calls, to send and receive data at higher data rates. This technology support multimedia applications (Mobile TV, Video Conferencing and Video on Demand) which 2G technology can’t support.  The 3G technology has increased the bandwidth which allows it to support multimedia applications. This technology offer greater protection than the 2G technology thanks to feature you can be sure that the network you are connecting is the one you want and not an impersonator network. You can view live television from your mobile phone, make video conferences with a lot of people, you have the possibility to view live road traffic and wheatear information.  The 3G theology is an amazing one but it has some flaws: there are many places that have a lack of 3G technology because it doesn’t have good coverage, it takes a lot of your phone battery and the phones with 3G technology are expensive because the technology is expensive.

At design and dimensions iPhone 2G and 3G look almost the same. Both of them have 3.5” displays with a resolution of 480x320.  If you look closely at both of them you will see that iPhone 3G is completely flat when you put it down and is a little thicker.

The iPhone 3G has a plastic back case while the iPhone 2G has an aluminum back case and the iPhone 3G is slightly wider then iPhone 2g. The display of iPhone 3G offer better colors and a better view than iPhone 2G offers.

The 2G technology gave iPhone 2G the possibility to support only Bluetooth, GSM and WiFi. The 3G technology gives iPhone 3G the possibility to support all the features from iPhone 2G with a lot of new ones like video calling and GPS and the 3G network allow you to download files from the Internet up to 3 times faster then the 2G network.

Both of them have a 2MP camera without video recorder feature (but if you jailbreak the iPhone 3G you will find out that you can make videos). The iPhone 2G is better at battery’s life because the battery can stay charge up to 10 hours when the iPhone’s battery stays charge only 5 hours.

iphone-2g


Thanks to the 3G technology, iPhone 3G supports network which iPhone 2G doesn’t support. iPhone 3G has is own GPS which helps you find your way by finding the places you want by name and giving you essential information of the places and the way to go there: by public transportation, bus, train, personal vehicle or by foot. The iPhone 2G doesn’t have this application.

The fact that we know what are the main differences between iPhone 2G and iPhone 3G we must say that if you don’t need video calls and video conferences, and you don’t travel a lot in places you don’t know iPhone 2G is great for you.



But if you are a business person or you just want to gave the best, you need all the feature and application iPhone 3G has to offer: GPS (to help you find your way at your hotel of cafeteria by foot, train, bus or personal care), Microsoft Word and Excel to help you stay in touch with your work, video calls with your business partners, a lot of music and video options- you can view the movies you want until you get to your meeting or hear your favorite songs until you get to work. And if you are a very busy person you can enjoy the applications that are able to write down what you say to them, so you don’t even have to type a message or an e-mail.

iPhone is a great smartphone with state-of-the art technology even if it is 2G or 3G and will give you the satisfaction to have one of the greatest phones the world has ever seen.
