Facebook On iPhone Could Be Responsible For Huge Battery Drain

Facebook On iPhone Could Be Responsible For Huge Battery DrainYesterday we reported that according to a former Apple Genius Bar technician, Scotty Loveless, it was found that quitting your apps by “killing” it via the multitask screen might actually lead to a bigger battery drain instead of the opposite. Now according to Loveless, it seems that there is another culprit that adds to the iPhone battery drain and it is none other than everyone’s favorite social networking app, Facebook.

Yup, you heard that right, if you’re the type of person who checks their Facebook all day, there is a good chance you will be draining your phone’s battery faster than you might think. That’s pretty obvious we guess since using any app constantly throughout the day can cause battery drain. However it turns out that Facebook’s features and ambitions are what’s draining your phone’s battery even faster. (more…)

    BlackBerry’s Australasia Plans Are To Become A “Trusted Consultancy”

    BlackBerrys Australasia Plans Are To Become A Trusted ConsultancyWhen you think of BlackBerry as a company, you probably think about the company’s mobile phones and how it is generally seen as a device targeted at the working professional or for those working in the government. This is probably thanks to services like BES which allows IT managers and admins to remotely control BlackBerry devices, thus helping ensure that they can remotely wipe it in the event that it is stolen or misplaced.

    That being said, it seems that BlackBerry, as far as Australia and New Zealand are concerned, have a new strategy going forward in which they plan on building up a “trusted consultancy” in the Australasia region. This is according to BlackBerry’s Managing Director for Australia and New Zealand, Matthew Ball, who in an interview with SMH plans on turning the company in a trusted consultant when it comes to security and mobile device management.

    Helpful Tip: Retrieve Original Images from Windows Photo Gallery

    This article was written on April 01, 2008 by CyberNet.

    One of the nice features built-in to the Windows Photo Gallery in Vista is a “fix” option where you can edit your photos. Among the editing features are options to auto adjust, adjust exposure, adjust color, crop the picture, or fix red eyes in an image. Once you make a change and close the “fix” window, the changes have been saved. When you go to open up the image, you no longer see the original image, you see the newly “fixed” image.

    So what if you wanted to view the original image again because you don’t like the changes that you made? Luckily there’s a “Revert” button that will appear if you were to open the edited image. Keep in mind that if you decide to revert to the original, you will lose all changes that you made.

    So what if you wanted to view the original image, but you still wanted to keep the edited image in tact? Here’s what you do.

    1. Open up the Windows Explorer
    2. Click on the User
    3. Click AppData (this is a hidden folder)
    4. Click Local
    5. Click Microsoft
    6. Click Windows Photo Gallery
    7. Click Original Images

    There you’ll find the original images for any photos that you have edited.

    Another reason you’ll want access to the original images is if you’ve edited a bunch of them and you’re limited on hard drive space. Some photos can be pretty big and take up a lot of space, so you can go there and delete any of the original photos you know you won’t want.
