iPhone 5S vs 5C vs 4S: battle for iOS 7 supremacy

As of this week, Apple has discontinued the iPhone 5 entirely, focusing instead on the iPhone 5S, the iPhone 5C, and the iPhone 4S. While it was widely expected that Apple would take the smaller display of the iPhone 4S out of the equation entirely, it would seem instead that the company opted for ease […]

iPhone 5C hands-on

We’ve not seen a plastic iPhone since the 3GS, but the iPhone 5C wants to prove that the durable, easily molded material is long overdue a revival. Launched alongside the iPhone 5S this morning, and taking the spot in the midrange that we’d expected to see the iPhone 5 demoted to, the polycarbonate 5C uses […]

iPhone 5S hands-on

We were expecting a flagship and Apple gave us one: the iPhone 5S takes the core of the iPhone 5 and refines it even further, adding biometric security, a speedy new processor, and new camera features both in software and hardware. The iOS 7 smartphone now has some competition from within its own range, however, […]

iPhone 5C priced to replace the 4S at $99

After countless reports, rumors, and waiting Apple has finally confirmed what we all knew was coming this afternoon. That being the impressive new budget-friendly iPhone 5C. It’s official, and we have all the details right here. So since you won’t get the usual aluminum frame and standard design, how will it be priced? Aggressively. Check […]

Hong Kong’s CSL demos 300Mbps LTE Advanced service, due early 2014 (video)

Phil Mottram, CEO of CSL.

It was only about four months ago when CSL, Telstra’s part-owned operator behind Hong Kong’s one2Free and 1010 networks, showed off its 150Mbps LTE Cat 4 upgrade; but why stop there? Today, the same company gave us a glimpse of its upcoming 300Mbps LTE Advanced service, which is enabled by aggregating its 20MHz carriers at both its 1,800MHz and 2,600MHz LTE bands.

“The announcements in Korea and the announcements in Australia around LTE Advanced… the theoretical speed that they’re delivering is 150Mbps. What we’re talking about today is LTE-A300,” said Phil Mottram, CEO of CSL. “It’s definitely a first for Hong Kong, and it’s potentially a world-first in terms of being able to deliver these theoretical, maximum download speeds at 300Mbps.” %Gallery-slideshow83577%

Batch Delete Empty Folders

This article was written on September 03, 2007 by CyberNet.

Remove Empty Directories

Do you have empty directories cluttering up your computer? The truth of the matter is that you probably don’t realize how many empty folders actually reside on your PC. Before using the free Remove Empty Directories program I had no idea that I had 219 folders that were not being used.

The program does require that you install it, but the whole thing is rather simple to use. You can designate a hard drive, or a folder on you computer to perform the scan on. Any of the folders that will be deleted will then be highlighted in red.

Here are some of the features:

  • Integrates into Windows Explorer
  • Can ignore system folders
  • Specify files to ignore when scanning. This is a nice feature so that it will still mark folders for deletion even if they include things like "desktop.ini" or "Thumbs.db".
  • Specify folders to skip, that way the program won’t delete some of your important directories even if they are empty.

IFA 2013 Wrap-Up

IFA 2013 has come and gone, and with the Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch, various super-sized (and often curved) TVs, and a number of superlative-toting smartphones, there was no shortage of geek appeal. As ever, the Berlin tech show saw a few key themes surface, and while not everybody is necessarily ready to snap a cellphone […]

What Feature Would Make Your Favorite App Perfect?

What Feature Would Make Your Favorite App Perfect?

It’s crazy to think about how much we use our preferred apps. We track runs, take notes, dip into our endless RSS streams, sort Tweets, or use Shazam to keep from embarrassing ourselves when we don’t recognize a song. Okay, that last one might just be me. Whatever. The point is that we’re intimately acquainted with these little software nuggets on our computers and smartphones and we know them inside and out.

Apply Effects to Your Photos With BeFunky

This article was written on December 08, 2011 by CyberNet.

Befunky

For the every-day photos that you snap just for fun, there’s no reason to spend hefty sums of money and quality time learning Photoshop. Instead, head over to BeFunky.com where you can quickly, and easily, edit your photos for free. Not only can you edit your photos, you can also add effects and design elements with very little effort.

No need to sign-up for an account, with BeFunky, you can get started right away. You can pull in your pictures from all sorts of various sites like Facebook and Picasa, or you can tinker around with a few sample photos which is what I did to get the gist of what BeFunky is all about.

Using a simple interface, BeFunky makes it possible for anyone to navigate and use their services. Want your photos black and white? No problem. Want to add a frame? Simple. With just a few clicks, users are able to use their imaginations to transform photos into something much more than they originally were. Creative options include photo effects, artsy effects, a framer, goodies (like “stickers”), and a text editor.

A word of caution: not ALL features are available for free. There are some “premium” effects that are available for a nominal fee. They offer enough free of charge options that for most people, an upgrade won’t be necessary. With tons of interesting ways to express yourself, BeFunky is a cool way to add a little something special to your photos.
