How to use Airplane Wi-Fi

Image
By now it should be a given to most people that going on a trip does not mean having to disconnect from the world. It is perfectly possible to still use the internet for whatever your purpose is, and there are several options for you to choose from allowing you to stay connected whether you are sitting in your hotel or a coffee shop, or being mobile in a bus or train. You can even stay connected in the remotest of places as long as you are somewhere with cell phone coverage. The only "black hole" in communications now seems to be in the air. With the "switch off your mobile devices" rule strictly enforced, and the on air phone service prohibitively expensive, you can forget about making calls, much less connecting to the internet. Or can you? A few years ago, several airlines have begun to offer in flight Wi-Fi access, allowing you to do your business even when in the air. There is a small difference however, as in flight Wi-Fi is not exactly as good or as fa

Using your Phone Abroad Like a Pro

Summer is the time of exploration, vacation and travelling and a lot of you will probably go out to see the wide world, or Mexico, whichever is more attractive at the moment. Of course leaving the country does not mean reverting to full on cave man mode, so you will probably be bringing your cell or smart phone with you. The thing is that many people use their phone as they would back in the US, e specially when travelling to a country nearby. Doing that can only have one of two outcomes, you either use your phone, and come home to a large phone bill, or you switch it off and wait till you get back. But there are certain ways to be able to use your phone without having to deal with the high phone bill, and you will find that being able to do so make that tiny bit of difference between a good trip and a great trip. Alter your phones Data and Roaming Services The data and roaming services of your smart phone allow it to access the internet to send and receive emails, for example,

Communication can be rightly said as the blood of any civilisation and one can imagine the importance of fast communication easily. Isn't it? The mode of communication in the earlier days differed from the one in the present day world in terms of its speed and quality. The bulky modes have been replaced by the mobile versions of the same and one enjoys a smooth exchange of thoughts and information as and when he wishes.

Sony PSP 2 with a transparent OLED-screen

A year ago, Sony has released a portable console PS Vita, branded gaming gadget second generation processor and a bunch of ways to control gameplay. PS Vita sales were not as serious as we would like, but the device has found its place in the market and feels quite decent. What will happen when the time comes to make another big step forward? This question was answered by the name of the designer Jung Y Yang (Jung Ou Yang), he introduced the concept of the portable console Sony PSP 2 . The most notable advantage of the toys is clear 5-inch OLED-display, an era of such screens has not come yet, but the revolution has come, we could start a large-scale attack and with the portable consoles. And on each side of the display has the traditional controls, make them transparent is no need, obviously not.

Apple's New iPad, It's Faster and Screen Is Better

Apple just announced the newest iPad, which will be called the iPad, and not the iPad 3 or iPad HD or iPad: Eddie Bauer Edition or with any other modifier. The big hits: it's got a better screen ("better" in this case meaning Apple has stolen all the pixels in the world and crammed them into the new iPad), a faster processor, an optional 4G LTE chip, and some software updates. So the big news here is the screen resolution, which is bonkers. At 2048 x 1536 pixels, it has significantly more pixels than not just the old iPad, but also your 1080p HDTV and just about any other "HD" screen you've got lying around. Apple's again referring to it as a "Retina Display," which means that you won't be able to see pixels with your bare, weakened, organic eyeballs, at least from the 15-inch distance Apple estimates most people have between their eyes and their iPads. (Note: Apple is clearly excluding cats, which have more sensitive eyes and sit closer
