Our best guess on tomorrow's Apple special event.

(Credit: Screen-cast by verge.com/)

Commentary- Gauging on last years' apple's event, the dates tells us a-lot in accordance with the months & weeks as well. This year's apple event was more and precisely on unveiling new set of iPhones and much advanced apple's OS that gave it all on stage in apple's headquarters in Cupertino, CA. This October will again be a month of apple. By a report on (All_things_D) heavy leaks on this month's apple event have all been taken with usual grains of salt as it's typically known for it's excellent track records on apple's annual events. Am still not sure where the event will set for kick-off but what am certain about is, we should expect a-lot starting with new lines of Macbook pro together with minis, of which, most probably, November 1st will see them launched & ready to go on sell. So the event is now axed in manner. What's our best guess on items predicted to be on board?

New Macbooks together with Minis
As it is a norm for apple to upgrade it's new hardware, reports tell that new Macbooks are also on board come late November this year. Last year upgrades seemed minimal compared to this years. Key elements like processing power, high multimedia definition that supports full retina display on both iMacs and Macbooks are rumoured to be on plans. Apple, for years, is known for it's excellent prowess in giving ground breaking machines especially from the Macbook line of products. Of-course we also have the new Mac pro desktop on our prediction list, that'll be fully unveiled come end of this fall but won't surface in the coming apple event. Upgrades of it showcased earlier June this year and newer power structure was the whole motive to this very Mac pro desktop. We also expect the same upgrade to ice the cake in the coming generation of Macbook pro. Talk of ultra-fast 4k media graphics that is rumoured to take full advantage of new GPU's acceleration, new generation of intels' processor (Haswell) that will all-together bundle and come to reality on Macbooks' schematic board and also not forgetting PCI express based hardware plan that will deliver a state-of-art performance on coming new Macbooks. With additions to this, we also expect an upgrade on visual front camera display on both products -- iMacs and Macbooks, that will also pass through the show-casing event come next week on tuesday.

 
New iPads on list.
With the iPad, i can truly say there's some kind of a fever pitch that has kept many on ripples, as apple's slotting suprices and in-fact jaw dropping suprices in stores for next weeks event. New iPads are just around the corner and with all these rumours taking rounds the blogosphere, this actually tells how next iPads will have a treasure at hand even though they don't hit the 100% mark. A Series of analysis  have potentially revealed how cool next iPads will preface. Bigger screens, 9.7'' in size and better HD graphics that's x5 times faster than the previous generation of the iPad are also factors to consider. A report released by Cnet strongly tells how next full sized-iPads will maintain last years' mini kind of shape that spots sliddish angle edges and bezeled shape that's thinner in design. AllThingsD, a site well known for it's best track records of apple's products also suggest that the minis will get full retina display and take same levels with the iPad pro in crystal display. The next big surprise is whether the two iPads will include Apple's new device security based on Touch ID like the one bundled on iPhone 5s that will see it's users being able to purchase music via iTunes and as well unlocking their devices in regards to privacy. Siri's also a blast here. Apple's also taking siri to the next level, infact to the iPad where users can interact with female voice assistance, ask questions about weather, air base station, road maps and even match you results for fast lunch hour malls based on your current location. Millions have loved & as well hated Siri but for apple funs, the fact remains that Siri plans and offers broad range of enquires greater than that of Googles', just as many of you think of it as a competition disparity. Susan Bennett, a US. voice historiographist was this month kept on light by CNN for her best voice of urgency that many thought was used as iPhone's voice assistant. Am also expecting her voice to feature in iOS7 as an additional update come next week and of-course this time getting accompanied by males' too, of which am not sure who that will be. You can watch her talk and share her earlier experiences here.  



Commentary:-Other possible predictions beyond the iPad and Macbooks will include naming of prices that will tag the OS X mavericks together with it's Mac Pro in the next apple event. For divas who see music as a standing ovation, am yet to get info on iPods but possible criteria reveals iOS7 taking face but to users who only posses the 5th generation of it. iOS7 is the latest & current mobile Operating system that powers all apple smartphone devices that has of-late rolled out massively to users. OS X mavericks is also a follow-up of last years OS X mountain lion that will showcase also - not as a separate software this time, but a nailing filter that will run real-time on new Macbook pro and Pro desktops as well. Apple typically invites media to such rounds of events a week or so, before the conference and that means you should expect more pictures and point-to-point analysis come next week.

Does new iPhones tell us more about next iPads?

(Credit: Ngache/Tech -Analyst)

Commentary: It's about a month since the debut of new set of iPhones (5s & 5c). Apple events, has this year got a trail of reaction from it's fans. The iPhone 5s together with the 5c has brought new invention to reality and i mean, partial reality, starting from its newly set of colours to the most mindful capture in design. The i-5c just got better on colours, a choice that many greatly opt for - the same with the 5s, graphite's new glossy finish and  not forgetting the most trendy, gold champagne that packs sense of true vitality and harmonious relationship to it's loyal customers. Am yet to confirm about the coming iPads but alot has been covered, as techies around the globe leaked on-point photos depicting how cool the next generation of the iPad would be in design. So what is apple trying to reveal about the coming iPad, just, from it's latest set of iPhones?

Segment in processing chips
Last year the iPhone 5 bundled an A6 processor chip and just before it was unveiled in market, it's previous generation of the iPhone commonly shared the A5 processing chip. What does this imply? the iPhone 5c together with it's previous generation of the iPhone (iPhone 5) are both tangled to A6 processor while the iPhone 5s sliced an upgrade thus packing it with an A7 chip. The same is with the next iPads. Am pretty sure the trending curve will still apply to still keep the divide. Lets expect an A7x processing chip icing on the next iPads also. Processing is the whole thing. As the 64-bit chip prevailing on both sides, am meant to realize that apps requiring great capabilities in resource management will tick that as done. Are we forgetting the mini? expect the same share for both.

Expect an iPad 'Pro' type of device, with additional accessories?  

(Credit: thivnit.com)

Bigger screens will mean improved and powerful GP-unit. The iPhone 5s together with the 5c are still lagging the rope. Am a big fan of iPhone together with it's common branding line of products but what draws the line is how Apple treats the act of change with total laxity, let's compare that with the competition, Samsung, for instance, they've made jaw dropping gadgets that customers have want on trendy smartphone devices. A corny
curving glass seem to be ready on patent, creating a greater gap between apple's art of marksmanship and Samsung. The same should be with apple. I have a feeling that the next iPad will feature a rigorous upgrade. Gauging a 9.7 inch on the iPad pro while a normal 7.9'' on the mini, a touch ID finger print sensor and most likely retina display on both.

Keep in mind, colours will still make ripples 

(Credit: Ngache/Tech-Analyst-Review)

The new iPhones have embraced the art of colours, maybe it was the year of colours for apple as many of you think. The i-5c for instance, brought with it flamboyance kind of feel in world of colours, soft, silicon, fabric back casing made iOS 7 update a drooping priority to any iPhone owner. The next generation of the iPad, most likely the Mini, will perhaps follow soot and depict five colours just like the i-5c while the next iPad 5 or-rather the 'Pro' will face-cover same exterior colour priority as seen on the i-5s, perhaps gold champagne on one while the reamaining two portraying graphite, glossy finishing.

64-bit and gaming will be a bigger deal on the iPad 5.
Assuming the iPhone 5s displayed a 6.5'' across, packed with it's newly A7x chip and with better GPU acceleration as seen on the current iPhone 5s' schematic board, how would that be? am into the opinion, if at all the next iPad will make face in market, then be assured of great gaming capabilities than ever. CNET's editor, Scott Stein revealed this after an excellent review of the iPhone 5s, that gave optimal answers as to how the next iPad will execute multiple resource with 64-Bit chip being on board (Read that here). 64-bit Games and photo-video apps in iOS7 show off how the iPhone 5s works. Now that makes a reflection on the coming 'Pro' also. For the Mini, it's a-little bit trickier as apple is still focusing on issues like retina display and as well bundling the device with an easier GP-interface that will enable HD-games work hand-in-hand with the targeted retina display. Let's also expect apple's 64-bit document suit like pages, keynotes, numbers and even text-edit to take through the entire iPads (both the mini and Pro)

Once again, no additional surprises as last years'
Apple events seems to be unfolding with thousands of blogs leaking details and pictures that reach the 100% mark. That doesn't actually mean that new iPads will pass through a strong upgrade. Maybe all this will be equally predictable to some extent, who knows? What am just hoping for, is that, the new iPads will definitely feel fresh again. Am also hoping that a new accessory débuts and that could actually mean ending-up to an additional 3rd-party keyboard, at-least, on the iPad 'Pro'.

Battle of the Instruments and the Inner Truth.

"Is it WORTH IT?"

The most balanced sentence you will ever hear about a product is a question: “Is it worth it?”, and the critical question comes in, what makes it “Worth It”?
Having been around technology for a while I must point out that systems have changed and the way everything is viewed and perceived has also changed drastically.

Emerging players and new found land:

Blackberry’s mother company RIM has sold out and so has Nokia, what is carrying this shift in the order? Take in mind that there are a lot of other players slowly emerging and reinforcing themselves in the market, these include Corning Glass producing the touch screens, with 1000 product models and more than 1.5 Billion devices in 33 different major brands, ARM produces the processors and is the current leader of the semiconductor scene, has proudly shipped over 20 billion chips and has sold over 800 processor licenses to 250 different companies, revenues at ARM are said to be growing at a higher ratio than the total semiconductor industry revenues, so these are the emerging major players, so…

Where is the battle?

From the above two examples it means it’s a battle of the brands, who can sell more, as I typically argue; the price of the device quietly boils down to:
The allegiance awarded to it and the loyalty of the customer.

The latter is what will drive a brand and make it thrive. A few years back anyone would have dismissed Samsung save for my dad who loves Samsung TV’s and describes them as the best.
But in the mobile devices scene Samsung produced the wrong prototypes for the right market, a quick fast forward to today and Samsung is leading… hotly pursued by Apple.

My question is: If you are buying a device and you have an open budget, what would you have as the most coherent and witty purchase?
The answer would stand out in the price: How much are you willing to pay for the technology packed in the device, how much are you paying per instrument attached to the mainboard? And how much are you paying for the operating system developed for that instrument?
Over the years the statistics have always been with the production and sales of the instruments, however, the stability, robustness and the willingness of the public to choose a particular device over the other has emerged as a contender.
The advert-wars have tagged and bagged the clientele, instead there are slogans like "The Next Best Thing, Today" and "Living tomorrows' technology today" thanks to the fact that Apple would release products with instruments that the Android family had already released, technology like NFC, Bluetooth 3.0 and 4.0 with EDR, Wi-Fi hotspot, Corning Gorilla 2, higher resolution displays and higher RAM and expandable memory.

The Brands and their flagships:

Even today with the release of the iPhone 5S, I still see the same issue, lack of the current technology in the high priced device. This is what should kill the market for the iPhone, but it’s not killing it, so what is in the versatility of the product that makes it flamboyant and dynamic enough to resist and sail through?
We therefore examine the selling specs of the different flagships from the major brands;

The selling specs in the iPhone 5S are:
- Fingerprint sensor (Touch ID) - Corning Gorilla Glass, oleo phobic coating - DC-HSDPA, 42 Mbps;
HSDPA, 21 Mbps;
HSUPA, 5.76 Mbps,
LTE, 100 Mbps;
EV-DO Rev. A, up to 3.1 Mbps

- 640 x 1136 pixels, 4.0 inches (~326 ppi pixel density - Dual-core 1.3 GHz Swift (ARM v7-based)
- 8 MP, 3264x2448 pixels, autofocus, dual-LED (True Tone) flash

- 16/32/64 GB storage (No expansion slot), 1 GB RAM DDR3

Price: 83,931/=

The selling specs of the Samsung Galaxy S4 are:
- HSDPA, 42.2 Mbps; HSUPA, 5.76 Mbps
-  Corning Gorilla Glass 3 - Quad-core 1.6 GHz Cortex-A15 & quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7
- 13 MP, 4128 x 3096 pixels, autofocus, LED flash
- 16/32/64 GB storage (Expansion slot up to 64Gb), 2 GB RAM
- 1080 x 1920 pixels, 5.0 inches (~441 ppi pixel density)
- Bluetooth Yes, v4.0 with A2DP, EDR, LE - NFC

Price: 57,000/=

Selling specs of the Blackberry Z10 are:

- HSDPA 21 Mbps, HSUPA 5.76 Mbps; LTE, EV-DO Rev. A, up to 3.1 Mbps- Capacitive touchscreen, 16M colours- 768 x 1280 pixels, 4.2 inches (~355 ppi pixel density
- Dual-core 1.5 GHz Krait
- 8 MP, 3264 x 2448 pixels, autofocus, LED flash
- 16 GB storage (Expansion slot up to 64Gb), 2 GB RAM
- Bluetooth v4.0 with A2DP, LE - NFC

 Price: 54,999/=

Now be the judge, calculate how much you are paying for the technology and see if “It’s Worth it”.

Apple World Wide Developers Conference scheduled to kick off 10th in San Francisco

(Credit: OS X Daily)

The long wait is finally over. Apple just posted that on it's press release, indicating gorgeous and tremendous structure for it's iOS and OS X developers. I think this will be the most impressive moments to any apple developer who will get to appear via a pinhole camera. As usual, all events kicks with a 360 full coverage that mirrors lots of trending & engaging features. wwdc is now scheduled, perhaps June 10th-14th.

That's a colorful blow of spectacular 5 day event that no apple developer can afford to miss. I've contacted a friend from the west & most likely my day in will be fully characterized by a thin silky wwdc card. It may be orange, pink, red or silver-grey colored on a canvased background. Apple hasn't announced what flamboyant colours the card will hold but for many who have attended the world wide convention ever since will automatically brace on patterns to this answer.

Through a Press release  updated a couple of hours back, senior directives from apple inc have made remarkable comments concerning the up-coming World Wide Developers Conference. Taking a few break to analyse, this's what they flashed us with:

"We look forward to gathering at WWDC 2013 with the incredible community of iOS and OS X developers" - Phillip schiller 

- He also goes on shading light to other anticipated areas:

"Our developers have had the most prolific and profitable year ever and we're excited to show them the latest advances in software technologies and developers tools to help them create innovative new apps. We  can't wait to get new versions of iOS and OS X into their hands at WWDC" -  

WWDC 2013 activities include:
- More than 100 technical sessions presented by apple engineers on a wide range of topics on developing and deploying both iOS and OS X software technologies.
- More than 1000 apple engineers supporting over 100 hands-on labs with code level assistance.
- The latest innovations, features and capabilities of iOS and OS X and not forgetting also how to enhance the capabilities of apps, both for app store and Mac app store.
- And more interestingly, engagement of both iOS and OS X developers from around the world. Kenya, my country taking a shift for the 1st time in presenting the very best of apple's developers ever!
- We've got one more thing also, kept in attendance that never had the pleasure of showing up in past wwdc conference and that is engaging inspirational lunchtime sessions with leading minds and influencers from the world of technology science and entertainment.

N/B: Tickets will be made available for purchase tomorrow morning (April 25th 2013) at 10AM pacific time and to my surprise, price charged for each developer  points a shift of dismay. Each developer will have a whooping $1599 to cough ( That's around Ksh 95940/= for each developer in kenya.)

Wanna know my cutting line?
Well, wwdc, ever since my journey as a tech blogger found me charging exorbitantly for this developer's conference. I love apple product's line and neither will i cut a piece of string to subdue my expectations. Let me not ruin your excitement of this tickling event that is about to take place live and well brilliant come June 10th at San Francisco, 10AM Pacific time.

Your cutting line?  
In order to be eligible for purchasing wwdc tickets, you must be a full registered developer in Apple's iOS and Mac programs. Are you tech blogger? a developer? and want to live screen the event via a conceitedness live event video? then make sure you've stumble upon the side requirements to pave way there. All the best, guys

Performing the test-run project: Activate Facebook chat heads on your iOS device

Updated Chat-Heads for iOS
Credit: Digital_chat_heads.com)

It is today when Facebook updated it's iOS app thus bringing chat-heads to it's platform. The update, maintains few glitches though, as special features like chat-heads and stickers still faces a set-back till it's official launch to everyone - In short, it's limited at the moment. Now the update is squared, what else? I guess a few of you have the interest in tasting the waters and see how deep they run.

 well, the good news is, you're lucky. Chat heads together with features like sticker have minoritly raised temperatures most likely to many who have seen the move as behind bars scenario. To be sober, i tasted the Facebook chat-head today and to my surprise it gave promising results especially if you're on iOS 6 family. Let's not waste time. I came across various tweaks but managed slicing you two, that will perhaps nurture your Facebook experience to a blowing reality. Off-course the tweaks am about to breakdown will carter for two updates, for those interested on Facebook chat-head alone and wish to out-leave Facebook stickers and for those intending icing for both - Facebook chat-heads for iOS will be rolling out sometime soon, most probably over the coming weeks and so, if you wish to jump over and consider yourself in the lab for chat-heads, then take full advantage of this very test-run project.

What you'll need.     
- iExplorer that will enable you to extract the plist file and immediately Xcode that to your PC for further changes.
- Your iPhone device.  (note that changing plist file codes needs you to be updated to iOS 6)
-Your PC. (Be sure to be running mac or Linux platform as Xcoding reference keys on iOS relies on mac and Linux explorer files for editing to be easily accomplished)

Editing the PLIST file and activating chat-heads : The process isn't cumbersome, you'll have to download  iExplorer  depending on your platform and thereafter execute it for extraction to be successfully logged within the system (Linux users will have to download mac's platform and dump the file via a console for installation)
- Once completed, launch the iExplorer app with your iPhone device docked and thereafter options with vast integrities and various functions will be seen. I advice you to mount your device and press the "auto transfer" tab. All of your contents paged within your device will all be on your PC for viewing. Now navigate to (Com.facebook.facebook.Plist) This plist holds a number of keys that Facebook determines how it should behave.
- Now open the plist file with your favorite plist editor. Myself used Plist Xcode editor and was successful. Look up for the key "messanger_chat_heads_ios". If this keys doesn't exist in your plist, just add it to the top level of same existing file. Change the key value to "Yes" or "</No>" (depending on what you're editing in)
- Save the edited plist and drag it back to your device while iExplorer is still running.
- Now kill the app and have it re-launched to make it adapt the changes  you made in plist.
- That's it, you now have Facebook chat-heads up and running. As you have chat conversation with either your relatives, friends and workmates you should see circles with their avatars scribble on screen as you navigate the app.

Activating Stickers  
Stickers, on the same note posses plist files but difference gears in as this mirrors different key codes  that communicates with servers from Facebook. The process is rather lengthy but for those who seek curiosity like Carly Rae jepsen and need to try Stickers can as well point their browsers to this post and perform the big boy's thing.

Commentary: Not being a fun of stickers on Facebook chat-heads, i simply deactivated it and now waiting the day Facebook will activate stickers to my account. All the best!

Apple takes a halt: Samsung taken out of next A7 chip production.

Apple's A6 Series processor
(Credit: Apple)

It clearly comes with intriguing notations but the fact is, Samsung will no longer be in contract with Apple anymore as A7 affiliated chip production grinds to an halt. Am quite not sure why apple disconnected from Samsung but from my own thinking perspective, Samsung, did the same and never uncovered what they were planning for it's devices when holding annual press meetings in Korea. This comes after The Korea Times updated the cut off incarnation revealed by apple. Off-course apple has been icing the cake to Samsung when it intended of coming up with a newer device for it's consumers but it's latest confirmation leaves Samsung puzzled & dismayed 

The two companies confirmed deeper relationship since the A6 and A6X chip production that both the iPhone 4S & 5 portrayed. The A6 and A6X performed significantly fine. Each showed 20 nano's with respect to Intel's standard execution that passed FCC (Federal-Communication-Commissions) qualification standards. Samsung, from apple's wireless & semi conductors chief, Bob Mansfield, laid positive & never assumed Samsung would one day be out of contract with apple. Sources told on CNET reveal a crushing & as well partial disagreements that Samsung faced with apple when tabling issues with forth coming chip production from both firms. Ironically, Samsung goes further filling reports indicating the bond between them & apple is unbreakable but why did apple shift it's chip operations to a manufacturing company by the name TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) of which sources on "The Korea times" updates?

Apple's future promising chip manufacturing company 

Last month sources, different from "Korea Times" hinted the untold deal at CNET that apple was quisling deals with TSMC and they were both in contract of which apple was perhaps awaiting it's 20 nanometer chip spec that based on TSMC and would be out by 2014. The source goes on further indicating that apple will still be with Samsung till it's A6 chip runs out of course. This gives clear information that Samsung won't be making ties with apple in the name of A7 chip production which will be a successor to A6 and A6X series processors that currently powers the iPhone & iPad respectively 

Commentary:- Guys, the relationship between apple and Samsung is somewhat privy. No one knows what may happen and change the retailing-contract structure between these two firms but what am sure of is, apple's come back in contract with it's rival Samsung will perhaps bring with it a rippling effect that no any other firm within the chip industry can imagine. Meanwhile I've contacted a senior tech blogger from Apple retailing department and will update you with more if any latest is replied.

Tired of errors? Lets fix that for sandboxed application in OS X

(Credit: Sandbox Developers, CA)

Are you the the kind of person who will always irk your moods for a day started badly when working behind your Mac just because a usual application isn't offering the right access authentication as directed? well, it's time to say good-bye to that. At times applications you like most will not give you the best when opening, closing or saving vital documents either. Here's a problem i found of which am pretty sure many of you have troubleshooted it in a way that doesn't suggest. At time OS X users may face problems such as a program not allowing you to save relevant documents thus prompting you a critical message that quotes "You may not have permission to access a file you are trying to open" or other users may as well find themselves unable to save what they see is important for future reference from their point of edit. 

Presumably, this reveals a lot than what the read/user access may tell when it comes to issues concerning sandbox system. Normally whatever program a user works with, traces of batch files are directly mirrored to a system folder named "User". Programs like TextEdit when launched points all end-results to the final sandbox operation folder where it's finally saved. Perhaps, a portion of work (On TextEdit) may at times not save your ongoing operation which may later mean an option of loosing all unsaved data. What does it mean? all your root access folder namely "user" may also be exhibiting same problem as seen on sandbox's source folder. 

How users troubleshoot sandbox problems according to my research.

- Cases of sandbox errors may appear minor but when tacked badly may carry with it consequences. Errors that consecutively prompts during a saving order are much less risky than prompts shown during or after a critical update. Problems may build when such troubleshooting operations are done as follows:

 - Attempting a fresh roll back to restore your machine on a previous or earlier state: - This will rather refresh the OS X execution layer but not rectify issues concerning the sandbox as all OS X version except Snow White Leopard v10.1 that will evade this, reason being the sandbox system supported is different from a domain that apple changed when coming up with Mountain lion v10.8. What happens is that the operating system assumes adjustments on programs but doesn't change the entire log as users expect.

- Attempting to clear cache via a console environment: - Again that will not buy you proper results as all consoles both  from Linux & OS X platform perform legitimate functions that gets to avoid altering  programs that reside in the sandbox folder. The definite reason behind it is, when coming up with lion especially v10.8.8 (an update seen from 10.8) developers evaded the adjustment-act on sandbox alteration by patching an update which restricted users from modifying viable extensions ie (com.apple.xxx extensions). This was to protect all applications within the sandbox folder -- Clearing cache won't help, maybe on v10.1 Leopard users.

The way forward.

- According to Scott Forstall, (Former senior vice president of iOS software) sees to it that every strong chain has it's weakest point - There's an option to fall upon if after-all data is vital for you. Lets try troubleshooting the sand-boxing errors:

                  {Open the Console program and search for "sandboxd," which is the daemon process (or "server") in the system that manages the sandboxing routines that programs like TextEdit interface with. With this search, you should be able to see a reference to the affected program along with any associated messages, such as the sandbox daemon denying access to a requested file. With Console open, you can try to use your application again and see if similar messages show up.}

                                                               

or

Container folder as navigated on OS X

                 {You can Go menu in the Finder (hold the Option key if the Library is missing), and then opening the Containers folder. In here you will see each sandboxed application's container named by its domain (e.g., "com.apple.TextEdit" for TextEdit), so locate the one for your program and move it to the desktop. Then relaunch the program and see if the problems go away}

Caution!- Do not be too fast in discarding the Sandbox container as this will still be holding your documents. Copy all that to a different physical location -- i prefer  the desktop as this doesn't mimic extension from the sandbox cache.

What I'd like to see on this year's MacBook Pros

What the Tech Analyst would love to see about Pro's this year
(Credit: Apple)

The suspense is building and apple has to act according to it's manifesto. July last year was such a dear but not the way i expected it to be. wwdc was mind blowing, showcasing it's Macbook-pro with retina display as a punching update ever seen from previous presentations. The pro survived a heating notch by 89.9%, killing the thinner MacBook air PC with a desperate 55.5%. Great features propelled somewhat acceptance from fanatics like i who greatly wished to see last years keynote a day to remember. June 11-15th 2012 wwdc was a week everybody had been waiting for. I expected to unearth varieties especially from PC franchise upgrades. The MacBook-pro brought with it an eye catching incarnation. The 15-inch sized laptop, thicker with it's uncluttered aluminium coat glued specs of high-end design that made it a super-pro! SSDs, fusion drive legacy, retina display & with of no debate a whooping 768 Gigs of flash packed (an increase from 512 Gigs that the Air punched). This year i would love to see the pro & infact ranging from the desktop to it's laptop. Last time we saw apple debuting a DT-pro was way back in 2010. Apple, with views from many have criticized it's mode of production and i think it's high time Tim Cook shows some love to residents of California , CA.  This year, am rather obliged that Phil Schiller  will at least do me a favor if the items am to list below showcase's the world-wide-conference in style -- Here's what i would want to see!

4th Generation Network - Let the shooting star pass at glance as i pen this on screen.....I was dead wrong when i thought the 15-inch MacBook-Pro will shade light on 4G network. Apple has presumably laid hands on the iPad & forgot that the pro's also has a chip-set number to consider. off-course the iPad has embraced 4G but why should we have the Pro taking the ice-cream share of the network? I mean it's not a bad idea seeing the 4G dream landing on the big Pro! after all, do any of PC manufacturing company deployed such an idea to test?

Optional Retina Display and YES on a thinner Pro - It's high time apple up it's game by taking note of designing a thinner pro. The 15-inch Pro possess glacier outright look, elegant & perhaps higher specs but adjusting it to a thicker base gives it a stone-age design. This year i'd need to see a thinner Pro  but then having optional retina display, yeah! what i mean is, it should come in variety for consumer to opt for. Let one machine maintain the retina display while the other favor a line of consumer grouping. Not everyone needs a Mac with a killing tag of $2,199 in price. Apple, please offer a variety.

A bigger Track-Pad - Believe it or not apple's introduction to a multi-touch on a bounded small track-pad isn't epic. How do you see of a smaller track-pad especially on a bigger 15-inch Pro? Maybe technically am spoiled! Expanding the track-pad on the Pro would as well welcome more & prevail a big consumer catch.

A Larger, non-SSD Drive - pro users want larger hard-drive space. This doesn't come as a by the way but what am sure of is, if you own a laptop then am afraid you'll be invoking the spirit of downloading HD movies, photos & even high-resolution clipped videos. Currently the Pro comes with an SSD all imagined to have 768 Gigs of flash in capacity. I assume this guzzles more on power whereas Intel is facing out power hungry processors perhaps soon. Instead of i going to purchase an external hard-drive that spins at high speed & guzzles almost 30Amp of power (Mark-you am in town showing off my project to my boss) & off the Pro grinds to an halt, won't this mean incompetence?

So what exactly do i want? - It won't be fare to judge this year's apple production but the four highlighted ideas if kept in place will insanely boost apple's line of margin with a hitting scale factor, maybe to predict, 60.25%+ (up) from last years line of margin that clocked 50.42%. To sum-up everything i need an economical, robust & most likely a turning head MacBook-Pro design that will favor the whole being of what a PC needs to be because if it wasn't for Apple's team i wouldn't have touched MacBook's lineup of design.

- Wait! "I've one more thing for you today". Watch the MacBook-Pro surviving a torture through hasty conditions & off-course we want apple to maintain such a durable product like this one this year!

Commentary:- What do you need to see on this years Pro or are you happy with current pattern trend of  apple's design? have a pleasure of your casting your  stand inside the comment box.

Apple's entering wider Purgatory' : iPhone 5S to blend-in multiple screens!

(Credit: Brightsideofnews.com)

Commentary:- July is drawing nearer & the long waited days of apple's showcasing it's pride is somewhat revealing ecstasy among it's products fanatics. The company has for the first time patched vibrant news about the next generation of it's device stating multiple screens to break the notion culture seen to be locked on a single line of production & expertise. citing critical information from a known tech-supply chain company based in California, the company has further laid speculation of the incoming iPhone 5S cut-off price to greatly benefit developing markets like china. Spinning the mouse ball down the website, the company further reveals the choice of multiples screen sizes that consumers will have to consider prior lining up at apple's stores for a take away encounter. It's a game changing plan, a strategy kept forward to freshly improve company's line of manufacture. From my own-made Jewish scroll, apple considered a simple mode of design which Google & known rival Samsung with it's Android partnered operating system futiled it's progression. I would really love to see more out of apple's design & innovation.

 The iPhone 5 spots a display of 4 inches in size, a boost from 3.5 seen from previous line of production. Here in Kenya, few allies are strongly rooted to Android  more specifically, Samsung devices (Set others on a 2% and below listing pie) I see this as weak-spot apple isn't really taking into consideration. If the African Savannah can portray vast & embrace meaningful food-chain criteria why not an intelligent human? things have taken a face-lift. Not only kenya, the country i belong to, embraces android but the whole world does it on street.....no compromise! what gravitates consumers flock the Samsung stores is rather the bold screens top smartphone manufacture, Samsung invents when coming up with a new twine of pattern design. The company, apple is also expected to follow soot.

I can imagine consumers Quisling outside silicon valley (340 university Ave, Palo Alto, CA at the united states) for a new feel of different taste of the iPhone 5S.  Jaffray analyst Gene Munster, analyst taking second position after Tony sacconaghi best analyst of Sanford Bernstein's believes the yet unveiled iPhone 5S will be a total game changer. Tony together with Jaffray from a post have intuitively hinted on the price aspect consumers are likely to face come end of June. It'll be a 3 conundrum of choice..... multiple screens for consumers to brace on while 2 pulling iPhone prices where in one occasion a group will see it as cheap while the other awaits for any, so long as it's an iPhone on store. What's more appealing to me is how the cheap iPhone 5S design will glitter the market for the first time but please don't be pretty first to coy around. Lets hope for concept to be a reality. For a clean record of menace, the iPhone 5S project appears inside 2 bloated papers. After taking size and cost into account, let's play with the assumption that Apple considers three different screen sizes for the next generation of it's iPhone by analyzing this into one simpler ideology:

- One model would likely adopt a size larger than 4 inches; this could prove tempting to consumers who initially gravitated larger screen provided by Android phones 
- A second model would stick with current 4 inch HD display for individuals who don't see change as prime mover!
- & lastly the 3rd would go smaller than the 4 inches and thereby sell at a lower price.

What's the Turning point?
 It's also very important to note prices expected from this very robust device may differ from what many of you expected. I see an average ranging price from ($250 - $300) (That's Ksh 20,000/= - Ksh 25,300/= predicted Kenyan price) for a lower price iPhone while ($300 - $350)  (That's Ksh 25,000/=  -  Ksh 29,750/= predicted Kenyan price) for the expected super 5S device. At-least that makes more sense. So as we await end of July this year, let's go deeper inside our pockets & have our digits well calculated for a clinical usher of this very brilliant device that Johnathan Ivy together with Bob Mansfield  have for the world

Commentary (On conclusion) :- Apple is still facing increasing pressure, both from Android rival Samsung and investors. The company needs to apply more innovation & offer more choices across it's traditional lineup to prove it's still a competitive force.

Will the "Haswell" processor be the next F1 Engine? Let's chime that into analysis

It has been 1 year & 3 months since sandy & ivy bridge came to market. Tech-gurus have managed to motivate consumers by allowing integration of Nvidia thus providing best performance when working across your device. Lets make it clear that top firms like Microsoft, & Apple have had and always made it on higher pedestal from the fact that engineering ivy & sandy wasn't a spare to unfold. Last year at world-wide-developers conference (wwdc) apple company unveiled both 13 and 15 inch MacBook pro all capacitance displaying ivy bridge in control, come to Microsoft, it's first PC, surface tablet survived round one with it also maintaining ivy processor on-board. Of-course other PC firms like Lenovo showcased the same but if i was to ask, will the incoming haswell processor be the next F1 engine to turn request for other companies to follow soot? I bet no......whatever am about to analyse should be taken with a clean, pinch of salt. technical- wise, ivy bridge processor has shown great interest to PC manufacturing firms. Take the case of execution be of great topic here. Ivy bridge, though not taking order of execution into consideration, it's to my opinion that, ivy still maintains a stable record in execution that haswell won't be holding if granted an additional 2 years. Analysts have argued that haswell will rather be sailing hot prior & after it's sale but afterwords maintain dormancy after 4-5 months of release. Features packed with haswell are quite liquiditive, ease the pain of less uphold of battery power, excellent data transfer with both front & back buses but won't satisfy it's consumers when it comes to real back-up of stability especially on complex operating systems . You wanna know why haswell's a passing cloud? check on these two principals i've down broken for you.

Out-of-order execution.

a processor executes instructions in an order governed by the availability of input data, rather than by their original order in a program. It's a mind blowing innovation, easy & somehow reliable when viewed from shallow angles but doesn't this alter system's developers pattern of formality? am assuming if complex operating systems like MS windows & OSX (x-versions) are to be directly layered on haswell processor then target firms developing these stand-alones' will have to layhands on a clean 1 billion hefty package to re-programme different layout of data transmission that may not favor the smooth rendering of haswell's program execution. Pointing on both ivy and sandy bridge, haswell emerges as complex processor that may not comply with hardwares' compatibility of standards. With 22nm on both old & the yet unveiled 4th generation processor, questions still revolve  as to whether out-of-order execution serves haswell a knight of Camelot.     

Desktops and server stations chip-sets maintains a C1-C4 power state design. 

C1-C4 are not tangible materials as many of you would think but rather, CPU / package sleep states that are governed by internal 3D-trigates that calculate transmissions of these CPU packages. Initially, both sandy & ivy bridge clogged the Q5-Q8 chipsets that are with no doubt chip-sets with right fitting instruction. Mobile devices clogged the QHM87 - QHM86 inbuilt chipsets that gave normal threshold lining of power consumption when entering standby/sleep mode. Today we're hinted to haswell, the 4th generation processor but do industries really want to unfold what was termed old & incapable with matters concerning power balance? It is a big YES that haswell will make us proud by mobilizing resources which will soon cut down heavy guzzling of power but what of C1-C4 chipsets? it won't change anything! 

Commentary:- Well, it's a battle for which series of processor gets in the consumer cycle. Intel hasn't failed yet but the huddle ahead makes no hive for it to delay further. The 4th generation processor will make progressions if only, matters concerning executions & chip-sets remuneration are taken via a live lens.

WWDC will unveil more than what the world can imagine! - Sources reveal.

Apple Campus Silicon Valley ( Credit: Isapazio.com )

Commentary:- it's been a slice of who is to win the goblin luncheon up the market as firms pick gears to up their game. Android apart from iOS has shown brilliant up-times since Vin Gundotra ( senior Vice President, Engineering for Google ) usher at Google labs. Hadn't jobs seen this coming? no, i guess. Proper software team kept in place made android shine just weeks after gundotra's entry at Google labs. It's for this reason Apple's iOS hasn't been making the top, years after early "10's. I tend to reason out that it's indeed this time, lessons taken after a crack-down now sinks down to apple's reality. iOS, has, on the same note enjoyed monopoly for quite a howl but again Cook ( Apple's rep CEO ) is changing ways as game tightens to these two battling mobile OS's. Sources reveal underway projects kept in place ahead of next wwdc (World-Wide-Developers-Conference) scheduled june this year bring with it great expectation that Google as a top priority will leave to remember. Current's siding team in apple's judicial have made great foretell as to why iOS will be clenching the top come June. Time-to-time surveys & gossips from different clouds of coherent minority have talked a lot concerning iOS. Many have argued that Apple is secretly "bi-amping" up siri where programmers hired for such a job have to show interest  in mobilizing it's capabilities for easier tagging of excellent Geo location especially when on malls / while driving through busy & robust streets that made siri in it's early stages an app that many of us viewed as un-fruitful. I also understand apple is once again aiming it's arrow to it's legitimate maps that Scott Forstall (Previous as iOS Software President)  never signed for, as expected. What comes to my mind when i get to hear about apple maps is a twine-to-twine hinting edge, that apple won't debut iOS 7 come June ( for those who long-waited for this silver lining, lets pray hard ). The reason as to why am saying this is that, a native application like Flipboard for Android , never got a face-lift when Samsung was facing-out SII for it's next generation of galaxy note earlier in 2011. Why? blame it on time factor! What i actually mean is, no firm perhaps Google nor Apple can as well launch a newer OS whereas a previous one logged glitches that still rendered zero updates since it's time of rolling to the time of use by consumers. It's now clear that apple will now concentrate on iOS 6, fix issues that earlier made it a quaky mobile OS. Am yet to understand when iOS 7 will roll-out but what am optimistic about is, apple won't make any step to have it rolled out at any time of the year. What of next iPhone generation design? John ivy has "One more thing for us..." completely different with a cleaner, uncluttered design, gauge my imagination!

Incoming goodies with the iPhone 5S? 
Checking on what's expected, iPhone 5s won't change radically. The current iPhone maintains a shape of   <---50.57---> by width & 123.40 by length making it a lightweight phone. The same applies to the yet debuted iPhone 5s but the difference clocks-in as the perimeter of the known switch / sleep button gets a slighter margin of decrease to emphasize on tap & click criteria that Johny Ive (Senior vice-president of industrial design at Apple)  tends to explain on Daily Mail - Online earlier, yesterday morning.   


Commentary:- Counting from the horse's stamps, apple has made it clear that since Samsung made a coy out of their interior & UI design, it's now elevating it's mechanics & level of invention where all of it's products gets polarized display that will greatly reduce viewing angles thus making it difficult for observers to see significance system-wide UI over-howl. Judging from the smart-watch technology, i got to uncover how the iPhone 5s hardware support will be able to mate it's very iWatch through a tethered connection. Apple, via a press release brought this brilliant aspect on light after posting hours later, that "iWatch will be able to mate your iPod, iPhone or even your Mac through a tethered connection. We workout the impossible"

- It's no doubt & seems very interesting that the waited wwdc (World-Wide-Developers-Conference) will as well shade light to areas that Google saw it as an advantage to loop-out it's first climbings. Ultimately, Google is playing well good, infact best! but the level of invention that apple stings at hand can never-the-less be compared with no other!

Jailbreak Conundrum? Evad3rs has a YES for all iPhone 5 users

Jailbroken  iPhone 5 displaying Cydia app store (Credit: SourceFeedNews.com)

Commentary:- Jail-breaking an iPhone, in fact the iPhone 5 seems interesting. It's about 4 months since Apple debuted this stylish, gorgeous & most terrific iDevice for the spring users to embrace. What makes it interesting is how the clean fit of it's Britannica design takes shape when working with it on your palm. The iPhone 5 is lately designed to perform better with high level & extreme graphic hardware acceleration, be it gaming, browsing the web, taking HD photos & as well videos for later review. Apple, of late, has given it's users a mind controlling device to tangle about, but does anyone realize how more interesting this iDevice can be when jailbroken? i guess some of you aren't getting this right. Don't get it twisted either. Jailbreaking here simply means, removing Apple's limitation from it's iOS devices' operating system through the use of software & hardware exploits. The iDevices that fall into this one iOS basket includes the iPod touch, iPad, iPhone & Second Generation Apple TV. All have the capabilities of dribbling  binaries that kernel from A5 family can marry & merge both it's firmware & kernel-band into one. Well it's time to throw this evasion secret to the wind & let the parachute drop you to a land of alternate app store known as Cydia. Jailbreaking has given insight to developers but again a stressful incarnation is what raises this flag of frustration to many. Apple, for the past years, has been chipping critical patches to it's latest iDevice hardware for excellent restriction where hackers have still come to discover. Take the scenario of iOS 5, was it a living menace that no hacker came to unveil? Did it come to fade away from the thoughts of many Apple users? the definite answer here is NO; -  & i mean there's nothing gonna stumble hackers from debuting a newer way of hacking into that system. Last week on Sunday, that's five days past to be precise, a group of hackers styling themselves as the Evad3rs team gave a tweet that went viral stating their new release of a usable jailbreak software that could go through a couple of iOS devices with the iPhone 5 & others being included. Interestingly, the jailbreak, through the 1st two, day, test-run attempt after it's debut, only worked well but through a tethered installation (Direct iDevice connection with PC resources being on utility). No one especially me recommended this kind of jailbreak actually because of various reasons here & there. After performing the above jailbreak, users could only turn-on/reboot their device via an open & full authentication of a cable plug-in. I first experienced this when jailbreaking my 1st iPhone,  the iPhone 4. I could hardly switch on my device when it abruptly went off due to low battery power, meaning, i had to head back home later in the day after my day work & boot it back to life via a tethered connection with my laptop offering such a support. It's on Wednesday that a new & advanced jailbreaking mechanism was kept in place for junkies to gaga with.

- Now, without wasting no time, I'll highlight fancy steps on how you'll jailbreak your iPhone 5 cellphone in minutes:

*Step 1 visit this Evasi0n Jailbreak website here & download only packages aided for your platform.
*step 2 Go to the website of Redsn0w and down load the jailbreak tool depending upon the OS of your computer and the baseband of your phone
*Step 3  Create a folder for this tool on your desktop and name it redsn0w
*step 4  Unzip the files of the software and launch it on your computer (Windows users) for Linux & Mac based platform run the tarball file (Best initialed as Tar) package under a terminal execution, making sure you're logged in as Root as I've displayed below.

*Step 5 Initiate jailbreak option in the software but before that, make sure you click on run as administrator option (On windows platform) or Root/Super User (On either Mac/Linux)
*Step 6 switch off the iPhone 5 and connect it to the computer
*Step 7  Put the device in DFU mode and follow the commands given by the jailbreak tool
*Step 8  The software notifies before completing jailbreak. This is when you need to click on exit before unplugging the phone from the computer
*Step 9  Your iPhone 5 is now jailbroken. You can also unlock it if you choose!

Warning!!!

Let it be clearly noted that i will not be held liable for any damage to the device. Users are advised to create back-up for all the data of the device. Ensure that the battery of the device carries more than 80 per cent of charge.

N/B

-Jailbreaking doesn't unlock your iDevice. It's only a rail-line exposing you to various 3rd party application & furthermore evade Apple's restrictions. 

- Am pretty sure you're now displaying a coy smile on your face as your iPhone 5 is now ready to take full control to the world of amazing apps, some paid for, while others not exorbitant in any way or rather on commercial - Amazingly free!
