The site is online-backup.topfiveawards.com that specialize in online backup services which I think people really need to look into and get on top of as a hard drive failure can just be around the corner and talking from experience, they are devastating to say the least. All your work, personal documents, treasured family photo and videos gone in an instant.

I know what you’re saying “ahhh it won’t happen to me, I’ll be fine” OR “If it does ill just get some recovery software and get it all back” well i’m very sorry to tell you but it COULD easily happen to you and happens a lot more than you think; sure you could go and get some recovery software if it did have which I might add will cost you a small fortune as they know you NEED it to get your treasured memories back and nine times out of ten you won’t get back even a quarter of what you lost and it will be PAINSTAKINGLY slow…24-72 hours slow!

The best online backup see their MyPCBackup review, really is the smartest option to take; there are plans to suit everyone’s needs, no matter how much you’ve got on your hard drive and they are very reasonable priced when compared to recovery software. It’s your precious memories that are at stake here and to me mine are priceless and I feel a lot easier knowing that if the worst was to happen, hard drive failure or even theft, I’m totally covered and can get everything back simply and painlessly.

ALT: I think it’s very exciting. Audiences today, in particular those under 35, have grown up in an interactive world where user choice can change the nature of the experience. Our expectations have been rewired to expect a level of interactivity and to be disappointed when it’s not present.

IDK: Rewired?

ALT: How would you like it if I took away your TV remote? Built in to everything you watch is the notion that you can change it. In another five years augmented reality will be up-and-running. Then you’ll be able to choose what things look like. Fed up with grey skies? Have a blue one.

IDK: How would an audience response system change what you do?

ALT: I’ve always been interested in interactive fiction and non-linear narratives. It would be interesting to structure a piece around choices made by the audience. You’d have to plan the thing very carefully and accept that some of what you do won’t be seen or heard but with that on board I think you could do something exciting that hasn’t been done before.

IDK: Apart from art?

ALT: One of the things I’m working on at the moment is what we’re calling a cloud documentary. One of the components is a series of live shows which will be touring in 2012. Our aim is to explain everything from geology to philosophy in ten minute chunks. Each chunk will be linked to other chunks by questions. So when we’re describing the Greek experiment to determine the circumference of the earth by measuring shadows cast at midday we can then follow that with a chunk about the Ankythera device or Ptolomy’s epicycles. If I were doing that talk it would be great to navigate with the audience, rather than leading them on a predetermined path.

IDK: Final thoughts?

ALT: Event technology and audience response systems are a very interesting way forward.

As a mobile developer, you are aware of the earning potential that comes by including advertising inside of your iPhone apps. While paid apps offer a one-time payout during the initial purchase, in-app advertising supports an ongoing revenue stream that has the potential to last well into the future. But what are some of the key points to keep in mind while designing your apps that can help to maximize that potential? Consider the following to help get the most bang for your app development buck.

Build apps in categories with high click-through rates (CTR)
Many developers prefer to design their apps in a specific area of interest. But to maximize your potential for advertising dollars, you should consider concentrating your app development in areas that historically receive the highest click-through rates. Entertainment, sports, and news apps consistently see some of the highest CTR rates and are good candidates for development if your goal is to maximize your earning potential.

Integrate ads into the app design
Most people can spot a “bolted-on” feature when they see one. Ads can lose their effectiveness when they are jammed into a space where they don’t belong. The overall satisfaction a user has with your app can be reduced when the flow is broken up in this manner. Impressions and click rates can go down when an ad must be placed in a lightly accessed area of your app due to space constraints.

These problems can be prevented when ad placement is taken into consideration during the design process and not as an afterthought at the end of app development.

Make it easy for others to publicize your apps
If you are using the free apps with advertising revenue model, you must get your app onto as many iPhones as possible in order to increase your earnings. Designing your app to integrate with social networks such as Facebook and Twitter will allow users to easily spread the word about your app and help to increase your download rate.

You work hard to design iPhone apps and want to earn as much as possible from each one that you publish. To use a food analogy, paid apps are like sugar. They give you that initial boost of energy but it is short-lived. The in-app advertising model, on the other hand, is like eating complex carbohydrates. No big sugar high, but a nice and steady energy release that lasts a long time.

Following these suggestions can help maximize your advertising revenue streams, help provide greater profits for your iPhone app development business, and improve your iPhone app monetization possibilities.

Logitech’s new line have been heavily researched among the growing tablet users to what they are looking for the most with their new iPad 2 and Android tablets. So what are these new products that Logitech have released, well we’ve got some great looking wireless speakers prefect for boomin’ your tunes and movies although  you would have thought they limit the portability you would have but not these wireless speakers with Bluetooth that have a impressive range of 50ft! And a massive 10 hours battery life to sing the night away.

There is also a pretty slick looking keyboard and case combination made from the highest quality aircraft aluminum and surrounded with heavy-duty padding to protect it from traveling with you and your tablet on the road. This sweet Logitech keyboard not only has Bluetooth built in but it also has a great Apple iPad dock in the back to stand it up vertically while you type away.

The great thing about this keyboard is that its open to both apple and android users as they have made the exact same module but for the android so everyone’s a winner.

Both these items combined can turn you tablet in to a mini easy to use desktop with the keyboard and stand making it easy to work and and the speakers surrounding you with your classic tunes!

All in all another great set of products from Logitech!

How cool is this urinal! I mean come on how often do you see a urinal that reacts to the heat of your pee…i can certainly say never! The hotter the pee the darker the color, from yellow orange to red, just think of the urinal art you could make while visiting the loo.

The new iPod Nanos from apple are the latest addition to Apple’s ever growing family, unlike its predecessor this 6th generation iPod has had a complete face lift from its début look in 2005. I must say this new iPod Nano looks pretty sweet, it kinda makes me thinks it’s what an electronic stamp would look like with a very crisp touchscreen. Along with this new touch screen comes simplicity with just a 4 options interface to choose from, it couldn’t get much simpler than that now could it. Along with the great new looks and interface apple have added a brand new operating system on it to allow its full features to run trouble and problem free.

Going back to my “stamp” thought is the size of this great little device and I’m not 100% sure it’s the smallest mp3 player out there but i think it’s safe to say it’s certainly the smallest fully loaded and stylish looking mp3 player ever! With this tiny player only measuring 1.54″ with a 240×240 LCD touch screen. Turn it over and you will find a very useful clip to fix anywhere safe and securely. The cases that protect the precious insides are still the signature anodized brightly coloured shells that we have become accustomed to. Gone are the times of control buttons, this new version has no physical buttons when it comes to changing tracks, play, stop and pause…the famous clickwheel has been retired! There are still the on/off/lock & volume up and down but we can forgive apple on that one as this really does make things so much easier when compared to the last Nano.

Now it make look great and have some new fancy operating system but the big make or break question is, what is the sound quality like? Well I think you can already guess as it is from apple and although they can be stubborn at times that be we won’t going into that right now they do know what their do when it comes to sound. So to answer that big question, the sound has noticeable improved compared to the old version.

To sum up the new iPod Nano it’s a great bit of tech that not only packs a fierce punch in the mp3 world but it’s also very stylish and dare I say it…fashionable, with its slim size and great sound quality without the old buttons this really is a great mp3 player for anyone that’s on the move and wants to pass the time away listing to their classics!

Pros: Amazing Panorama Mode, Compact Size, Low Light Photography, High Definition SLR Quality.
Cons: Still to be exposed.

Sony is still legendary just when it comes to making genuine cameras and all the technical stuff. They have never let us down upon their quality and it’s always the best form of technology available from their side. Sony Alpha NEX-5 is one of the sleekest and the lightest weighted camera possessing SLR qualities. The low light picture mode is amazing and you can capture some charming and beautiful pictures.

The strength of this camera is amazing, the lens is interchangeable and it is of 14.2 MP. The type of lens you want for your professional nature of work, this is the deal. The pan aroma mode has been carefully crafted and it is just astounding to know more and more about the quality of the images it takes. So far, there isn’t anything to be bothered about this camera, the design is perfect and so as the quality. The video recording mode is as stronger as the image capturing mode and thus it makes a complete package for photographers.

Sony has banked some serious bucks with in the release of this beautifully designed camera and I hope it won’t be dipped into critics in the future, so it will cling to the top.

Summary: Sony Alpha NEX-5 Compact Interchangeable LENS Camera is something is worth to buy for.

Pros: Equipped With Digital Sound Equalization, Killing Design, And Pure Quality Sound.
Cons: Not in Particular.

Logitech has been given an award after the release of their one of the best products that is, Z-5500 THX and they’re certified speakers. Having 5.1 Digital Surround Sound, you can’t ask for more and if you’re a music lover then It might put that glee in your eyes because this thing is capable of producing some extra ordinary balanced sound. It has an 11 inch Sub-Woofer and you can crack some mirrors if this thing is maximized from the volume. The design and the color are simply amazing and I just can’t thank enough for that.

There are 5 speakers working with a big sized woofer for a better quality of sound and the best part is that 2 out of those 5 speakers are of different colors, they’re black and the rest of them are of silver color. Something you might want to look at the whole day, with this new and improved digital sound equalization technology, it gives you the best sound being played through your favorite music and trust me, you’re going to go crazy with it once you’re in that pun.

Amazon have got some very good deals on these Logitech Z-5500 at the minute, check them out!

Logitech has always inspired me by their amazing designs and improving quality yet again it seems that I wouldn’t be hearing any defects about this speaker. The cordless remote has been given for your ease and the main channel is operated with it, all in all, a boom box for music lovers.

Summary: Well designed, amazing quality of sound, yes z-5500 reflects all of that.
