Stuff to Cover Your 'i' With!

With the last decade seeing a rapid advancement of technology; it takes a keen interest, a lot of time and money to keep your finger on the pulse. From the ancient DynaTAC ‘brick’ to the iPhone, we’ve come a long way. As the iPhone market thrives, so does the ‘iAccessory’ market! Here is a list of my most important and revered accessories for the iPhone.

• Amplitube iRig. Wow! Ten years ago, who would have thought that a mobile phone could be used as a mixing studio? Ten years ago, who would have thought it possible to use a mobile for anything more sophisticated than a text-message?! You can use this iRig adapter to connect to your bass or guitar. The interface looks akin to a mixing studio and you can use the interface to adjust chorus, distortion and other effect levels; as well as choosing which style of guitar sound you are looking for, whether that is lead-guitar, bass or metal. Everything you need to compose a song is at your fingertips! Future rock bands will be recording their demos using their mobile-phones, I am almost sure of it!

• iPhone SLR Mount. This will enable you to attach the same lenses that would be attached to an SLR camera, to your iPhone. You can use fish-eye lenses, wide-angle and telephoto. This also comes with a strap and a tripod so you can operate like a traditional photographer with a piece of equipment that you can receive calls with.

• Plantronics Voyager Pro HD. This Bluetooth headset is a highly sensitive piece of kit that responds to instructions from your voice even in busy and over-populated places. It also knows when you are about to make a call.

• SOL Republic Tracks Headphones. The flimsy earphones you get by default whenever you buy a phone need to be disposed of as soon as you get them! The tinny sound quality has less audio-presence than background music! But the sturdy SOL transmitters of sound are a good investment as they offer fantastic quality of sound to immerse yourself into, they are robust and they also include a microphone so that when you receive a call, you don’t have to bother taking the earphones.

• Cygnett Ripple Case. This case for your phone is textures and it also offers protection from drops and bumps. The distinctive relief will enable easy finding of your phone whilst rooting around in your bag for it.

Your iPhone is a station of many creative pursuits. To protect it from knocks and bumps as well as looking after it’s aesthetic value, look at iPhone 4 Covers UK for a range of covers that are quirky and protective together!

How to Get Anonymity Online With VPN

How to Get Anonymity Online With VPN
It seems today more and more people are concerned about how they use the web and rightly so.  However, too many people don’t think about using a safe tool to help protect them while online.  Most people believe it’s the antivirus software that protects them but in fact the software protects the computer from malware and spyware.  It will be VPN that helps secure those hoping to use the web safely.

Using the VPN Tunnel

Using a virtual private network is all well in saying but how can this really help you?  For a start, you get a new and secured network connection which you will connect to the internet via a tunnel.  It’s a tunnel in the sense as it’s almost impossible to damage and the network connection is impossible to find.  It also means you can safely go online through this tunnel and use the internet without having to worry about hackers finding your network and accessing your private data also. 

The VPN acts as a tunnel and it does allow you to remain anonymous while online.  It allows this so that if you are in a country where there are a lot of restrictions and rules over internet usage, you can get around those legally without alerting anyone.  Really you can have total anonymity while surfing the web and you can enjoy using the internet with complete freedom and security – all at the same time.

Surfing With a New IP Address

When using VPN, you can effectively go online and surf the web with a new IP address invisibly.  What this means is you can be in one country but view sites from another which you couldn’t before. 

A virtual private network is that good and you can easily have freedom while surfing because anonymity is the key factor and all VPN services allow you to have this.  This is the difference in using the web freely, without having anyone look over your shoulder and having your data put at risk.

An IP address also gives you the freedom to anonymously download music, watch movies and television shows from sites you couldn’t access before.  You can enjoy safely using the web and VPN is legal so you don’t have to worry.  Anyone can now go online with VPN and do whatever they please – just as long as it is legal.  You can easy choose VPN providers also.

Choosing a Modern Appliance

Choosing a Modern Appliance
It’s a difficult decision choosing a fridge freezer. We all seem to want a large American style one in our kitchen but what should you actually consider before you buy? We thought it would be handy to compile a list of tips and points about what to think about.

How much space do you have in your kitchen?

Space is the ultimate constraint you need to think about before you make any decision.  American style fridge freezers are big, and if you only have a small kitchen you should consider the implications of owning one. They have many advantages and come in two main styles, one which is side by side which is a popular model as you have your fridge on one side and your freezer on the other which of course alleviate the problem of bending down to get food. The other is top and bottom which is perfect for larger items in the freezer which can span the full width



However this decision needs to be well-thought-out. Is this style of fridge freezer right for your house or family? Will you store that much food or will this produce a centre piece for your kitchen? Although they may look amazing you may simply not have enough room in your kitchen to move freely, whereas a modern upright fridge freezer may only be 600 mm wide. They still contain similar technology but are more suited for smaller kitchen designs.

Which do you use the most the fridge or freezer?

Every family is different and you should look at your food intake week on week or month on month dependant on your shopping cycle. Do you require more capacity in the fridge with fresh food or do you store more food and require a larger freezer space. If you generally cook from scratch with ingredients you purchased the same day then a big fridge will probably be the better option. 

Alternatively if you like to carry out a huge monthly shop and then store the food for the rest of the month a larger freezer capacity will work in your favour.

Where are you going to put it?

You can’t simply just put your fridge freezer anywhere, it needs to have good ventilation or it will not work efficiently costing your more electricity to run and over work the components. If your device has an ice and water machine, can it be plumbed in and connected to the water supply. Are you able to still manoeuvre around the work surfaces? If the kitchen is overcrowded it can cause hazards which were not there before.

Overall a flashy American style fridge freezer is not always the best option; they are also far more expensive than a standard up right version. The key is your fridge should blend into the design, not be an eyesore.

Make a Name for Yourself Teaching Makeup on YouTube

Make a Name for Yourself Teaching Makeup on YouTube
Do you love to do makeup? Do you buy a lot of products and you are now looking for a way to make some of what you spent back? If this sounds like you, you may not know it yet, but there is an easy way for you to do it. If you have ever gone on YouTube chances are that you saw product review videos made by people just like you. What you may not have known however is that these people who are making product review videos could be getting paid to review the said products. Now you are wondering why you cannot do the same thing. You can! All you need to do is create a makeup niche vlog on Youtube and get started. Here is the 4-1-1. 

Getting Started
At first, you will need to create a YouTube account so that you can get started with making vlogs. In your first vlog, you will want to let people know that you are going to be doing makeup tutorials and that you will also do product reviews to let them know what is worth purchasing and what’s simply not worth it. You can also mention that you buy these products with your own money and that you do not work for any companies. Next, you can go out to the store and purchase some products so you have something to review. Try them out before you make your video so you can let your viewers know whether or not you liked the product and what was good or bad about it. Once you have done so, you can shoot and edit your video. You will then post it on your vlog and you’re off to the races.

Making Money
When you make a makeup niche vlog on YouTube, you will be able to teach your tips and tricks to other people and you may even earn free products just by reviewing. You will see that using YouTube will allow you to have more opportunities than you would if you just had a text blog. People may ask you to teach them how to do makeup, and you could make money or you could become a makeup artist and get paid for it. You may also get paid by companies to do reviews of their products on YouTube. 

You have always loved to do makeup and you have always liked to tell your friends what you thought of products so why not use the internet to make money doing what you love? Sure, you could create a text blog and tell people what you think but you have so many more opportunities when you use a site like YouTube. Now that you know how to get started, you can create your very own YouTube account and start doing makeup tutorials or reviews. Start out small and work your way up. In no time at all you will be an internet sensation!

The Rising Cost of Sending Post

Since the Royal Mail post update in April 2012, the cost of sending letters, packets and parcels abroad has shot through the roof, with postcards being 87p to send to Europe and 87p to send to World Zones 1 and 2.
To send a small letter (10g - 20g) this will cost you 87p and this goes up in 20g stints to £1.28, £1.66, £1.91 & £2.21 up until 100g (Europe only).

A small packet weighing up to 100g will cost you £2.70 (Europe only).

To add an International Signed For sticker to ensure it gets to the destination is £5.15 in addition to postage.

If you label this 'fragile' it does not guarantee that the contents won't be broken or crushed by the time it gets to the final destination.

Not only have the air mail prices shot up, the price to send a parcel or letter in the UK has also gone up and a lot more companies are sending invoices and paperwork via email or fax to cut down on costs. It is a safer way to ensure documents arrive at the destination.  Even banks are trying to go paperless by emailing statements or allowing you to download them on line.

A book of 12 first class stamps now cost you £7.20, 12 second class stamps cost £6.00 and 6 first class stamps cost £3.60.

There are other options to sending UK post; you can send it via special delivery 9am, special delivery 9am with Saturday guarantee, special delivery next day, recorded signed for, keep safe.

A lot of companies which you work for will allow you to print a postage label for this and pay for it by paying petty cash and this can be sent on your behalf which is most of the time cheaper as they use franking machines instead of stamps (only larger companies have this facility) but don't forget to add a return label so if the item does not receive the destination it can be returned to yourself.

If you are moving a house a cheaper alternative to re-directing mail is to give the new occupants of your old house a sheet of labels and ask them to stick these to all post delivered for your and upon receipt you can call the company and ask them to change your address or to make your account paperless and email you regarding all future correspondence.

Reap the Review Benefits: The Advantages of Online Review Sites

Online review sites such as Urbanspoon, Yelp and TripAdvisor have been popping up all over the Internet. These websites are a way for consumers to share their experiences with businesses, products and services with other consumers to help them make the best purchasing decision.

Many online review sites have received some negative press. Some people don’t trust that the reviews are honest, and some feel that the rankings do not reflect the actual reviews. But online review sites actually do have plenty of benefits for your business.

They’re free advertising.
First, most online review sites allow the customer to write about your business whether or not you’ve claimed your business on these sites. This means that content is being shared about your business without you needing to do anything. (But, to be safe, you should try and claim your business on all of the popular review sites. This way, the information regarding your business will be accurate.)

Online reviews allow your business and your products/services to land in front of a large audience who are using these sites. People will now be aware of what you have to offer, and you didn’t have to spend one penny.

They offer peer recommendations.
It’s a fact that people are more willing to trust the recommendations from people they know instead of listening to strangers. 

Google+ Local will show users the recommendations that their connections left on certain businesses, allowing them to receive the opinions of people they know. If your business receives a great review, and the friends of that reviewer see it, they’ll be more likely to visit your business.

They help you improve your business.
It’s very likely that you will receive a negative review at one time or another. Rather than board up all your doors and windows in fear that everyone will stop using your business, use the negative review to make improvements. If you notice that a few people complain about being unhappy with one of your products, use this information to test the product and see if there is truly a malfunction or if you can improve it in some way. If you notice that patrons are complaining about poor customer service, take this information to make internal improvements. Negative reviews can help make your business stronger.

They allow you to build relationships.
As the business, most review sites will allow you to comment back on the reviews that are posted. If you notice a great review, take the time to thank the customer who took the time to write it. They will be impressed that you noticed AND took the time to thank them, which will help increase their brand loyalty to your business.

On the other hand, if you notice negative comments, respond to those too by apologizing to the customer for their unsatisfactory experience with your business and offer to make it right. Some customers turn to online review sites as a way to vent, but once you make contact and offer to fix it, their complaints are suddenly not as awful as they initially made it seem. You may be able to alleviate their issue and get them to revisit your business.

They can help your online presence.
Reviews about your business can help improve your search engine results. Search engines use spiders to crawl websites and look for keywords, and your business name is a keyword. If your business name is mentioned multiple times on these sites, it can help improve your overall ranking.

Don’t let the possibility of a negative review scare your business from reaping the benefits of online review sites. Remember that customers can leave reviews about your business whether or not you sign yourself up, so it’s better to use them to your advantage than to have them working for you without your knowledge.

Reap the Review Benefits: The Advantages of Online Review Sites

Posted by Deepak

Online review sites such as Urbanspoon, Yelp and TripAdvisor have been popping up all over the Internet. These websites are a way for consumers to share their experiences with businesses, products and services with other consumers to help them make the best purchasing decision.

Many online review sites have received some negative press. Some people don’t trust that the reviews are honest, and some feel that the rankings do not reflect the actual reviews. But online review sites actually do have plenty of benefits for your business.

They’re free advertising.
First, most online review sites allow the customer to write about your business whether or not you’ve claimed your business on these sites. This means that content is being shared about your business without you needing to do anything. (But, to be safe, you should try and claim your business on all of the popular review sites.

The 7 Fastest Growing Job Fields in Tech

The 7 Fastest Growing Job Fields in Tech
Many of the kids sitting in classroom desks today will go on to work in technology-centered careers. Fortunately for those kids, tech is one area of industry where trained professionals are always in demand. Some job fields, of course, are growing faster than others. 

If you're considering a career in technology, here are seven of the fastest growing areas:

Social Media Managers
Social media sites offer businesses unique opportunities to interact with customers and expand their marketing base. A social media manager handles a business' presence on Twitter, Facebook, and other social media sites. The manager composes blogs, Tweets, and Facebook posts. He or she responds to customer inquiries, complaints, and suggestions through social media, and organizing social media events or contests. The social media manager  also analyzes the effectiveness of social media campaigns and brainstorms improvements.

To qualify for a social media manager position you need to have strong writing and analytical skills and an understanding of how social media works. Most employers also look for a B.A. in a field related to either social media or their own business.

IT Security Professionals
Businesses need to protect themselves against data breaches, hackers, viruses, and other security threats. So important are IT security jobs that the field hasn’t really been affected by the roller-coaster ride of early 21st century economics. Well-trained security professionals are always in demand. You’ll need a thorough understanding of computer systems, firewalls, virtual private networks, and mobile security to qualify for such positions.

App Developers
The popularity of mobile devices results in a huge demand for both practical and entertaining apps. Someone has to design and develop those apps, and the result has been a rapidly growing job field for programmers who specialize in mobile devices.

Database Management
All digital data needs to be stored somewhere and carefully managed. IT professionals who specialize in data management are in high demand, and often pull in six-figure salaries. The field requires familiarity with data warehousing procedures, security issues, and information managing software.

Cloud Service Architects
Cloud computing allows users to access programs and data from over the Internet. To deliver such services businesses need cloud architects. Working as part of the IT team, a cloud architect designs and maintains the cloud system, overseeing services and data storage.

Data Scientist
Combining the skills of a writer and statistician, a data scientist sifts through a report or studies numbers, analyses the data, and writes reports that can be understood by the average reader. He or she may also perform "deep" research, sifting through data for hidden or overlooked facts. A strong background in mathematics is essential, as are good communication skills.

Search Engine Specialists
Websites need high rankings with search engines to attract viewers. Search engine specialists have an understanding of search engine optimization, which allows them to create, manage, and maintain websites that score consistently high in search engine rankings. The search engine specialist needs to be able to collect and analyze traffic and search engine data to further improve traffic.
