Instagram is one of the most downloaded applications for iPhone. Many iPhone users found pleasure in sharing photos uniquely by the use of this application. Instagram gives a new look to a photo by its built in editing capabilities. You can add different frames and color filter to photo and immediately share it with your friends in Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter and other social networking sites.

Instagram in Android Phones

After dominating the Apple Market, Instagram can now be downloaded as an Android application. Though it has only been released last month by Google Play or former Android Market, it has been a very big hit to android users. According to an article in The New York Times, Instagram’s CEO Kevin Systrom said that the app was seeing 2,000 signups each minute following its debut. A pre-registration period began last March 25 and more than 430,000 Android users signed up.

Android users have been waiting for an app like that of Instagram, but to actually have Instagram for Android is the one of best thing that ever happened to them. For Android users, the availability of Instagram for Android is in their favor but it’s the opposite for iPhone users. Knowing that Instagram was first made for iPhones, users are claiming that Instagram are for iPhones only. Some got annoyed after hearing the news.

Users have their different opinions about Instagram for Android but one thing is for sure, Instagram’s popularity will continue to increase dominating both Apple and Android phones.

For the first timers, this app serves online music. This allows you to play over 15 million tracks of songs coming from the mainstream library. You can also share music. It has a desktop version that lets you add files that are locally- stored. However, these local files are not accessible to any mobile apps of Spotify. This app which is now available for iPad allows you to stream music for free but with lots of ads, but for just $9.99 monthly, these ads will be removed. Having this app in your iPad is really worth it.

Spotify

iPad Spotify have the color scheme of green and black for the phone and desktop clients. The graphics, specifically the covers of albums are so vivid that they almost pop. The movements are involved with more swiping horizontally and flipping, instead of scrolling down and tapping. What’s nice here is that all your panels that are open on the screen are viewable and accessible. And even better is that, if you log in through your Facebook account, you may send messages by using the Spotify Inbox and recommend music.

In iOS Spotify app, its version in iPad has a built-in Airplay which lets you play your contents in Spotify on the speakers that are AirPlay-ready, wirelessly.

On the other hand, this real good app has its biggest disappointment is that it does not hold the new application ecosystem of Spotify; this is considered the feature which kills the good reviews of desktop service. Making up for this, iPad Spotify had placed lots of emphasis on its personal engine for music recommendation.

To end this, Spotify is an absurd service for music streaming. Spotify which is already available for iPad is an eye-catching and ear-cathing way of enjoying the Spotify app; on the other hand, lacks spontaneity and flexibility of the desktop service.

The first thing that you have to consider is what type of user are you? Are you a heavy gamer? Will you use the router for a business? Are you a media enthusiast? Do you need the wireless router because of profession related reasons? If your answer is yes in one of these questions then you need something that will support your needs. Go for Netgear’s N750 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router (WNDR4000) or Cisco Linksys’ E4200 v2. These routers can perform high demanding bandwidth tasks. On the other hand, if you are just a regular home user, you can choose a single-band router.

Wireless Routers

When buying a router, you will be choosing between single band and double band router. Like what is stated above, choosing between the two depends on what you need and how are you going to use it. A single band router is common for households if your primary concern is just net surfing. If you want a more intensive performance, choose double band.

Router speed is another factor that you should not forget. The speed of the router is usually found on its packaging. All of these speeds are theoretical. It means that it will only operate in that speed if it is put in a place with zero signal interruptions which is not possible in a real networking environment. If the router reaches half of its said speed, then it has a good speed.

These are just the primary things that you should look up when buying a router, there are still factors that are considered by meticulous buyers. Lastly, before buying a wireless router, be sure that you really need it. You don’t have to purchase one if you only have one PC at home and don’t have any other wireless devices.

Canon Camera

• Sensor Size: When buying a camera, the first thing that people ask is the number of megapixels. It is not bad that it is their primary concern but there is more important thing to consider. Cameras today ranges from 10 megapixels and up so it is not an issue anymore. What is more important is the sensor size. Cameras with large sensor size are still good to shoot even if there is a low light.

• Lens Focal Length: Another thing that buyers usually consider is the zoom factor of a camera but they don’t know that the lens focal length range is what they should focus on. The lens focal length is expressed in millimeters, usually 35mm. It tells the field of a view a camera can cover. For shooting in tight spaces, the best lens focal length usually starts form 28mm.

• Weight: Point and shoot cameras are known for its smaller size compared to DSLRs. You can find relatively small cameras in the market but remember, the smaller the camera, the lesser the features. For example, some pocket-sized cameras lack a long zoom lens. When buying a camera, be sure to hold it so can see if it fits your hands.

• Display Resolution: For cameras with LCDs, the display resolution is really important. The higher the resolution, the more detailed the display picture. You can view the images with sharper displays. Go for a camera with 2.5-inch display or preferably 3-inch.

• Low Light Performance: There are many cameras that are only good when there is enough light so be sure to consider a camera’s low light performance. Cameras with good low light performance lessen the use of flash and at the same time, still produce high quality photos.

These are just some of the factors that you must consider in buying a point and shoot camera. If you are really meticulous you may also want to consider the image stabilization and the camera’s ability to record HD videos.

Buying an LCD Monitor

• Size of the Monitor: The first thing that you may want to think of is the size of the monitor. Do you want a big one? Then choose a 24 inch LCD monitor. If you are a gamer or a photographer, it is best for you. It is also suitable for graphic artist especially in using photo editing software. You should also consider the space in your room, if you don’t have a place for a very big monitor then better go for a smaller one. LCD monitors ranges from 15 inches to 30 inches. Take note that the size is measured diagonally.

• Pixel Response Rate: Some people don’t care about the pixel response rate of the monitor but for techie people, this is a big factor. PRR is the time when a pixel responds to a command. An example when a pixel changes from black to white. Monitors with low PPR are most likely to lag when you’re watching high definition movies or when you’re playing.

• Resolution: Resolution is the number of pixels a monitor have horizontally and vertically. The higher the resolution of a monitor, the more information it can display. Resolution also affects the color of the images or videos that are viewed in the monitor. Compared to the monitors before, one can clearly see their difference to the monitors of today. Monitors back then have a very low resolution; they won’t let you watch high definition movies. But now, monitors available in the market have very high resolution that will let you view or watch HD media.

• Cost: The factors above sumup the price of the monitor, the higher they are, the greater the price. The cost varies according to the size, PRR and the resolution. Some other features also affect the price of the monitor.

One thing that you should know is that there are two types of external hard drives, the desktop style and the external solid-state drives.

Desktop style is used at homes and offices because it is designed to stay in one place. It comes in different sizes, from 1.8 drives to notebook sized drives. Some needs a power adapter while some operates without it. If you will be using the hard drive actively, be sure to choose a hard drive with a built-in fan for extra cooling.

External Hard Drive

On the other hand, the second type is the SSD or solid state drives. These drives are usually found in notebook styles. SSDs are not that common because of its cost per gigabyte is more expensive compared to the price of desktop styles. The range of its storage capacity is up to 512 gigabytes only. SSDs are more advisable to use internally because there is a possibility for it to be wasted if you connect it to interfaces with slower transfer rate.

Another thing that you should not forget is to be sure that the hard drive that you are going to buy has at least a USB port. Any notebook or laptop has at least one USB 2.0 port so you won’t have any troubles connecting the drive. You can also use other interfaces like FireWire and Thunderbolt which is said to have higher transfer rate.

Lastly, if you are confused if the transfer speed of the external hard drive is really important and should be considered in buying, it depends upon your interface. If your PC has USB 3.0 port, then go for a high speed drive but if you don’t have one it is better to use your money for an external hard drive with a higher storage capacity and an average speed.

The first thing that you have to consider is the type of editing that you want. If you are content with just resizing, rotating, cropping, flipping, red-eye and blemishes removing tools, then there are free online applications available. But if you want to edit photos like a pro, then you need to download or buy a better software. There many editing software available in the market, there’s Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, Apple iPhoto, Aperture, etc.

Photo Editing

Another thing that you need to be sure is the software’s user-friendliness. You may download trial versions of different software so will know if you can handle it or not. You need to choose something that you are comfortable in working with so you will not end up being frustrated.

You can also do some research before buying a software. If you have some professional photographers or photo editors that you know, you may ask them what software they are using. At the same time, you can also ask for tips on photo editing or maybe ask them to help you out while you’re just starting. If your problem is that no one is willing to help you, you don’t need to worry because there are a number of tutorials in the internet. These tutorials maybe in a form of articles, forums or even videos so it’s for you to choose which type of tutorial will help you greatly.

If you’re still having a hard time looking for a photo editing software, try to read reviews of different software and compare their cons and pros. This will help you sort out your thoughts and remember, it is not always the software that will make your photo perfect but it’s your skills.

Wi-Fi

• Turn off your Wi-Fi’s visibility: The first thing that should do is to make sure that you are not broadcasting your SSID (Service Set Identifier), it the name of your network. People usually search for hotspots so if your SSID is visible, they will find it and will eventually try to connect to it. You may also want to change the SSID from time to time to confuse other unknown users. All of these are can be found in your router’s wireless network settings.

• Password Protect your Wi-Fi: If you want to limit the users of your wireless network, you need to protect it with a password. In this case, the only ones who know the password are the only ones who can access the network. You can also double protect your wireless network by hiding your SSID and at the same time creating a password.

• IP Address Filtering: By the time a device connects with your network, the router gives the device a temporary IP address. To limit the usage of the network, you have to assign a static IP address in every device so that those addresses are the only ones that are allowed to connect to your network.

• MAC Address Filtering: A MAC Address is a unique address that is on your hardware or device. By using MAC filtering, you can track the devices that are connected or connecting to your network. You can specify the MAC address of the devices that are allowed to connect to your network to make sure that there are no network stealers.

These are just simple techniques to secure your Wi-Fi network, if you want to be totally protected, there are many software that are available in the market which you can use.
