Android Vs Apple iOS

The Android Vs Apple debate has been raging on for a long time now and it was never this big. For long Apple had been the reigning king of smartphones. Whether it be the simplistic yet beautiful hardware or their efficient software, Apple left most of its competition far behind. But, that was certainly pinching Google. So, as we all know, led to the evolution of Android. The mighty OS which has risen in popularity far surpassing many of the big fish and proving to be a strong competitor to Apple and has resulted in a virtual war of Android Vs Apple iOS.
Most people these days while buying a smartphone are confused between this Android Vs Apple scenario. I have seen people inside stores bugging the sales guys asking whether to go for Apple or Android and hence giving more flame to the Android Vs Apple. Most of you must have gone through the graphs that depict how Android is gaining its market share and Apple has nowhere to go but down. Well, it's all true folks. Recent official trends do suggest that although Apple is holding quite a big chunk of the market share but in a few years it could be quite the opposite. Most of the reasons that are cited for such rapid growth of Android are very obvious to say the least. Whether it be open source OS, a vast majority of app developers, cell-phone manufacturers providing free hardware and what not. Everything, in the raging war of apple vs android seems to be going in Android's way!

Quickstart Guide To Getting Started With The Google Plus Social Network

The Google Plus social network is now open for business... but how do network marketing and business owners take advantage of this new social media platform that some say will rival Facebook?
After being an invitation-only site for many months, on September 22, 2011, the Google Plus social network became open to the general public.
Google Plus is probably the one and only site that can even attempt to put a dent in the behemoth that is Facebook's social network. Posting record numbers, Google+ is up to an estimated 50 million users in just 3 months since offering the service...it took Facebook 3 years to get to that point! So should network marketers be paying attention, ABSOLUTELY!
Also, don't forget the 70% web browsers come to Google first as it's the most popular search engine and the largest source of traffic for many websites.
So How Do Network Marketers Get Started With Google Plus
1. Set Up Your Personal Profile
Unlike Facebook, Google+ does not yet support businesses or organizations. So as an individual business owner, you must begin to connect with influencers and leaders in your niche and make connections with people you already know.

Mac Lion - OSX 10.7

Over the next two weeks I'll be publishing a series of short videos to help people with some of the minor changes they'll be experiencing having migrated from Snow Leopard (OSX 10.6) to Mac Lion (OSX 10.7).

My initial impressions of OSX Lion are very favourable. I've noted that Apple has managed to maintain the same look & feel for the novice user whilst providing some essential and sometimes powerful tools for the experienced in the background.
The new Mail application is a great example of a good product, which is now even better. Whilst Apple's Mail application was the first to provide access to Microsoft's Exchange 2007 platform (long before Microsoft's Outlook 2003) and its enhanced features, the application itself was limited and often prone to crashing.
Moreover, access to Gmail as an IMAP service was 'hit-and-miss'. Mail messages would appear and disappear at random and the Internet forums where full of similar complaints from people utilising hosted Exchange mail. The application interface was agricultural and navigation between separate accounts was awkward. However, it was still a better alternative to Microsoft's Entourage.
The new version of the Mail application has a very strong corporate interface. Navigation is intuitive and possibly a queue that other's will follow. The ability to show and hide the folders is not new however the icon allowing this action is both intuitive and convenient.
