How Geek Are You?

Steitiyeh — Sun, 22 May 2011 14:28:44 +0000

I started recently watching the TV Series “The Big Bang Theory” and I can’t say more than it’s one of the most entertaining shows I have watched; it’s really funny and talks reality! I have always asked myself whether I am a geek or not and I always wanted to be one, since I was a little kid. I will always fight to be one and you have all my respect guys!
What about you? do you consider yourself a geek? How do you usually judge if a person is a geek or not? Below are some questions to I believe will help anyone know how geeky they are.

Are you the first person to be called when any technical support needed within your Family and Friends?

Do you consider Google one of your best friends?

Can you read and write different languages including PHP, HTML and others?

Do you love comics and super heroes?

Do you hate Microsoft?

Are you an iPhone owner? Or at least an Android phone owner?

Do you prefer Linux and OSX over Windows?

What were your hobbies when you were young?

Have you written the first line of code at the age of 10-15 without being asked by your teacher?

Did you ever get a gadget as a gift?

Do you wear tech-related t-shirts like the ones at Think Geek or Café Press?

I am sure that I have missed a lot of questions, but I would really appreciate if you can share with me yours and what are the reasons that you consider yourself or someone as a geek or not.

Apple just revealed the long-waited iPad (aka iSlate, iTablet, Apple Tablet) shocking everyone with the specs and surprises they announced.

The iPad specifications up to my knowledge are:

1- 1GHz Apple A4 chip

2- Storage: 16GB, 32GB, 64GB.

3- Wi-Fi 802.11n

4- Battery life: 10 hours

5- Full Capacity Multi-touch.

6- 9.7” LCD.

7- 0.5” thickness.

8- Compass.

9- Accelerometer.

The iPad also comes with a 3G connection and is internationally unlocked. They have also announced some cool accessories for the iPad such as the docking keyboard, which I think is so cool! During the announcement, they demonstrated iWork suite on the iPad and I think this is one hell of an option for presentations on the go!

The most shocking part of the event was the pricing which starts from: $499.00.

Ping! iPhone-to-iPhone Messaging

Steitiyeh — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 21:03:04 +0000

I always heard of BlackBerry’s BBM and how people just can’t live without their BB and their addiction to the BBM. Honestly, I am not a fan of BlackBerry and never tried it either; I just believe that it has nothing unique! Please don’t tell me “e-mail access”, Push E-mail could be setup on all smart phones and some of the dumb ones as well. What some of you don’t know is that ALL Nokia E-Series are compatible with the BB service, some of the SonyEricssons and Motorolas as well.

Anyways, back to the core of the article. I’ve always been curious about this BBM thing and always thought it was cool, till early last month when Ping! for iPhone was announced and available in the AppStore for free. I immediately downloaded it onto my iPhone and my wife’s and started trying it out.

I started spreading the word about it, since it’s useless if none of your friends have it. I succeeded some how, and now a few of my friends have it and we keep messaging using it! It works very smoothely, it’s fast and free. All it needs is an Internet connectivity (Wi-Fi, GPRS, 3G, etc…) which is available on all iPhones I think.

What’s so cool about it also, is that it works exactly as the SMS does, it notifies you whenever you receive a message and it shows you the number of unread messages on the icon of the application. It’s really cool, but I really think that Apple should take a closer look into such applications and how much value it will add to their products! If I were in Apple’s shoes, I will invest and buy this application and have it pre-installed on all of my devices. Such a service is really needed by everyone!

I really agree with what Adam Ostrow from Mashable said: “The ideal messaging app would seemingly have a version for multiple platforms (iPhone, BlackBerry, Android, etc.) and also support texting to non-users. That’s likely the direction most of these companies will ultimately move in, but we’re not quite there yet.”

All iPhone users download Ping!, and Ping me. My ID is: Steit

Battery Magic – Optimise your iPhone’s battery

Steitiyeh — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 00:45:20 +0000

You will be finding a lot of iPhone related experiences, applications and tutorials on SteitBlog. I am going to start with a cool application that is free and cool to have on your iPhone or iPod Touch, today I will be taking you through Battery Magic – FREE.

Ever since the iPhone 2G launch, a lot of reports and complaints are being raised to Apple Support forums and other parties regarding the battery life of the iPhone. Apple and other trusted forums have mentioned different ways on how to increase an iPhone battery lifespan and battery life, and we all remember the recent battery heating commotion and the buzz it made to all iPhone users.

Various articles mention information where they consider them as facts, such as a full charge will enable you you to play audio files for 15 hours, video playback for 9 hours, non-stop Wi-Fi connection and Internet browsing for 8 hours. I always wondered whether these numbers are true or at least close to reality.

The other day, I found Battery Magic iPhone App while browsing Apple App Store and I found it to be very useful where it enables you to know how much charge is left in your iPhone’s battery and how much time is left for all activities that could be done using the iPhone, such as Audio Playing, Video Playing, 3G services, Wi-Fi and much more. Below you will find some screen shots of this application
