BBC Says Bye-Bye to 3D TV – Three Year Break as Service Fails to Take Off

BBC Says Bye-Bye to 3D TV – Three Year Break as Service Fails to Take Off

3D

I don’t know about you, but I’m the type that pays absolutely no attention to the 3D TV sets they have on display in big electrical stores and the like. And that’s for the simple reason that when they first came out I did indeed have a good look at them, only to find that they were about 30% as impressive and exciting as I had expected.

Well, it seems I wasn’t the only one to think the same way as the folks at the BBC have today officially confirmed that they are exiting the 3D TV market for at least three years. That means that after they screen a delightful 3D romp featuring Doctor Who later this Christmas, there will be no more 3D TV shows made by the BBC until at least 2017.

And really, who’s actually going to miss them? Be honest – were you really happy for paying your TV license to fund expensive shows the likes of which 95% of the country was watching in 2D?
Of course you weren’t – and neither was I.

Mercifully, some bright spark at the BBC has realised that things don’t always transfer seamlessly from the big screen to the living room. Upon making the announcement, they admitted that although people seem to have really taken to 3D movies at the cinema, 3D TV sets for the home haven’t even got off the ground.

Which to be honest isn’t too much of a surprise – even the cheapest 3D sets are way pricier than standard TVs and those that buy these cheapest 3D TVs are usually pretty disappointed when they realise their DVD version of Jurassic Park 3D isn’t as exciting as it was in the cinema. And then come those glasses you have to wear which are annoying and uncomfortable. And easy to break. And expensive to replace.

And let’s not forget the subscription fees to most other 3D TV services.

There’s no denying that 3D TV is probably the future of the industry and may 
someday become a hit in the UK, but that day is not today and I personally don’t see it coming by 2017 either.

And just for the record – I still prefer 2D screenings of at least nine-out-of-ten movies…how about you?

How Long Your Hard Drive Is Likely to Last

1 Comment

No physical storage medium lasts forever, and as you probably already know, hard drives in particular can die rather unexpectedly. But how long can you expect your drive to live? 5 years? 50? Backblaze has crunched some numbers to find hard drive failure rates.P
The online backup service analyzed 25,000 hard drives it's kept consistently spinning over the last four years, noting when each drive failed. These are "consumer grade" hard drives, the majority of them internal ones but also a portion taken out of their external enclosures and mounted in Backblaze's data racks.P
They found that hard drives have three distinct failure rates: in the first year and a half, drives fail at 5.1% per year; in the next year and a half, drives fail less—at about 1.4% per year; but after three years, failure rates skyrocket to 11.8% per year.P
The good news is, 80% of hard drives last at least four years. The bad news is 20% of them don't. Backblaze doesn't have data beyond the four years measured so far, but extrapolated the data to predict a median lifespan of over 6 years for most hard drives.

The Gold Colour iPhone 5S Craze !

12 Comments



Check out our review of the Apple iPhone 5S smartphone.

Though not necessarily worth its weight in gold, a shortened supply in Apple’s new iPhone 

5S in luxurious gold is causing its price on sites like eBay creep up on sites like eBay at 

exorbitant prices.

One of Apple’s big highlights at its big press event about two weeks ago was 

the announcement of its brand new smartphone, the iPhone 5S. Of the three colors 

released, gold is the one that caught the most attention. Apple’s supply of gold iPhones 

was excessively low at launch, with some stores getting not a single golden iPhone, and 

even Apple’s own flagship store in San Francisco receiving only around 20.

Due to the short supply, many are turning to eBay and Craigslist to get their hands on their 
very own iPhone 5S, complete with a finish even Richie Rich could appreciate. An 

average 16GB Gold iPhone 5S can fetch nearly $1,000 from impatient iPhone fanatics – 

nearly 30 percent higher than an identical, though less flashy space-gray or silver. In 

China, golden iPhones are clocking in at nearly twice as much as their retail value.

As crazy as people may seem for picking up a golden iPhone for $1,000, all eyes are on 

that eBay auction where in just 24 hours a golden iPhone started at just 99 cents before 

ballooning to a crazy $10,100. However, this price is an anomaly. Someone with zero eBay 
feedback set a ridiculous $10,000 offer for the golden iPhone – and then someone else 

outbid him. The winning bidder has real eBay feedback, suggesting that perhaps he or she 

really wanted a $10,000 iPhone. There is a chance that the listing will get canceled by eBay.
Whether $1,000 or $10,000, the fact remains that stock has dwindled for the iPhone 5S, 

making some wait well into October for the latest Apple smartphone. Whether this is due 

to unexpected sales or artificial scarcity is unclear, but in either case Apple better hope it 

leads to a better earnings quarter as Samsung continues to steal the show.

Lastly, since we know some of you will be disappointed the new iPhone 5S lacks any real 

gold, remember you can always settle for the iPhone 5 featuring 24 karat gold, platinum, 

and Swarovski Crystals. Take your pick folks




Since the rumors for the gold iPhone 5C have popped up, the web has got filled with reports about whether the gold iPhone will be lucky or unlucky for Apple. Some reports have gone too far that they have even traced the luckiness of golden color in different countries as well. Details below.
Many analyses for the gold iPhone says that golden color is considered lucky in China and therefore this change to golden color might boost Apple’s sales in China. So let’s see what colors Chinese actually prefer.
As per the chart of auto colors compiled by Fortune’s Philip Elmer-DeWitt, the favorite or the lucky color of Chinese consumers (at least for buying autos) is silver, not gold. Even the second most favorite color is not gold. It is black. While golden color holds the eighth position, that doesn’t seem to be impressive enough. Well, does this mean that gold iPhone is not going to bring riches for the fruit company? Maybe no.
Golden color might bring fortunes for Apple in India. This is because gold is a traditional color there, due to the extensive use of gold jewelry, especially in weddings. So we can say that the significance of gold in India can give some fame to the golden-colored iPhone 5C.
However, there is one thing that might make people less attracted towards this gold iPhone and that is that there are already smartphones of other companies in golden color, then why would one choice gold iPhone? But since Apple’s products’, in particular iPhone is considered to be something more than just a smartphone, therefore those who want best gold smartphone might go for this one.
Do you think the gold coloured iPhone will be a success?

Top 10 Most Popular Android Apps

Be The First To Comment

There are more than 700,000 apps in the Google Play store. You don't need every one of them, but you do need to download these 10 must-have apps right now.


image credit  http://www.pcmag.com

When I first created my Must-Have Android list two years ago, the Android Market was still playing catch up to the Apple's App Store. Now, a renamed and revamped, Google Play offers more apps than Apple. Developers are increasingly launching new apps on Android first and then porting them to iPhone. Clearly, a lot has changed. So has my list of essential applications.
A few disclaimers before we get into the list. First, these are *essential* downloads. If you want the 10 Best Android Apps, we have a list for that as well. These are my picks for the *first* 10 apps you should download. And yes, I had to leave some really great apps off the list.
I talked to lot of the guys in labs about these picks, but I should be clear my opinions are sometimes different from the analysts. I would have probably made SnapSeed an Editors' Choice, but Jeff Wilson has some reservations. This is my personal list so it shows some of my idiosyncrasies.
For example, when I think of "essential apps," I don't think games. Angry Birds and Temple Run 2 are fantastic time killers, but you already know that. They will get a million downloads whether I list them here or not.
I've also chosen not to include what I consider no-brainer Google apps, such as Google Maps. As far as I'm concerned, Google Maps is a gimme. If you are an Android user, you should already have it installed. And, this goes for the native Gmail client as well. Google+ and Google Music are neat apps, but they have a way to go before I would call them essential. And while I love the new Google Chrome Beta for Android, it isn't available on enough devices for me to recommend. that are as follows:- 
1. Twilight
twlightTwilight continues to solidify itself as one of your top apps to download.

2. Taskbar – Windows 8 Style

taskbar windows 8 style

Great application for those looking to replicate the Windows look on their device.

3. Floating Touch

Floating touch provides quick access to settings options on your device including turning on/off WiFi and adjusting the brightness.
4. Pimp Your Screen with Widgets

Pimp Your screen helps you customize your device.
5. Awoken – Lucid Dreaming Tool

If you’ve ever desired to learn about Lucid dreaming, make sure you check out Awoken.

6. Locket

Locket allows you to earn money simply from swiping your lock screen.

7. dialapp: context aware dialer

Dialapp is a solid dialer replacement that utilizes a new approach in managing your call history.

8. PowerLine
Powerline is a great app that provides a slick visual overview of your device.
9. Sparky Lock Screen

Simple and unique lock screen options make Sparky stand out.10. Unit Converter UltimateThis is my new go-to application when needing to convert units.pls don't miss to see  How to Unlock Android Pattern Lock And Password Lock

Top 10 Technology In This Months

Be The First To Comment

With tech advancing faster than ever before, the distance between the fictional future and the present is growing smaller. In some ways, the future is already here with these latest inventions that seem to be pulled out from the pages of a sci-fi novel.
The U.S. Army is building its own Iron Man suit to protect soldiers in the field. While it won't have the flight and weapon capabilities of the fictional armor, the Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit (TALOS) will be bullet-proof and have hydraulic limbs to aid in the soldier's speed and movement. Find out more about how TALOS can heighten its wearer's sense of sight and measure important vital signs.

Improve Your Laptop Wi-Fi Signals

Be The First To Comment
A wireless router's signals can decrease for many reasons--a physical obstruction of the router, bad router placement or even out-of-date router drivers. Upgrading to a higher-speed Internet service won't help, since the problem is caused by the router's signals, not a faulty Internet service. To improve Internet speed, eliminate anything that could obstruct its ability to send out signals and add upgrades to the router.


improve laptop wi fi singnals

 things you'll need
1) Antenna - ready network adaptar 
2)Wireless repetor
3)Internet access

Instructions


    • 1
      Move the wireless router to the center of a room. Put it on a nonmetallic table or desk if possible--the floor can weaken the signals. Avoid putting it against anything that can obstruct the wireless signals, including walls, metal objects, metal desks or file cabinets.
    • 2
      Remove wireless electronics that use the 2.4 GHz frequency. This can interfere with wireless signals. Instead, purchase cordless phones or wireless electronics with a 5.8 GHz frequency.
    • 3
      Check whether the wireless router and network adapter are from the same vendor. Routers and adapters do not work as well if they are from different vendors, reducing Internet speed. Purchase a new network adapter if it is not the same brand as the wireless router.
    • 4
      Purchase a network adapter with an antenna. Antennas are installed in place of the network adapter in the computer.
    • 5
      Purchase a wireless repeater. Place the repeater halfway between the router and the computer to increase the strength of the router's signals.
    • 6
      Visit the websites for the wireless router and network adapter. Check whether any updates are available for the drivers that were installed after the wireless router and network adapter installation. If there are, download and install them.
