And some fiber Internet services even provide discount coupons for their service packs.

This means that the services have increased the output of workers who work in such businesses. If it can take one less than half the normal time they usually take to do tasks, then it means that they can do more than double the normal work using the same time. This is what every business wants.

HTC Wildfire S review.

The HTC Wildfire was a decent phone. Lets get that out of the way.

But now, it's time for the HTC Wildfire, as good as it was, it's now getting a little dated, which is why, HTC have released a new, more improved version of their phone. The HTC Wildfire S. Ok, so not much originality in naming the phone, but it is an evolution, not revolution, so it makes sense.

Again, this phone is aimed at the budget market. That doesn't mean is doesn't pack a punch however. No. It's actually rather powerful. It might not be able to compete with the iPhones and and Galaxy S's of this world, but for the price you can't go far wrong. We mean, the first Wildfire gave a lot for your cash, but where it was knocked down was in the average display resolution, slow CPU and limited RAM. We're thrilled to say that HTC have made improvements on all of these problems with the announcement of the Wildfire S.

The Wildfire S has a cooler design than the first Wildfire, with 4 virtual keys underneath the display and no physical keys. This has helped it to become slighter and less heavy than its predecessor, the Wildfire, which just helps remove the chunkiness of the original. With its metallic body it looks and feels very smart and not like a budget phone at all. Although not strictly in the super slim class, with a thickness of 12.4mm it doesn't feel bulky and fits fine in the hand, making single-handed maneuvers an option if you're nimble-fingered.

The display size is the same as the original Wildfire, at 3.2 inches, but the resolution has been doubled to 320 x 480 pixels which really does make a lot of diversity for software, apps, and overall usability. Physically, the screen size is the same, but in terms of pixels, they're much smaller, and everyone knows how important that is. Browsing the web is much more distinct, and multimedia is much more vivid Also, and importantly, the UI has been given a fresh lease of life and has been updated to the latest version 2.3 (Gingerbread).

Overall, the HTC Wildfire S is a very decent, and as of writing, one of the best budget mobile phones on the market. So, from amongst all the mobile phone reviews we have done, we'd give this a 4 out of 5.



How to keep the data on your smartphone secure.

Smartphones pose different set of security challenges as they store lots of personal, confidential and sensitive data and remain continuously connected to the cloud. Data encryption is available in its very raw forms in iPads and iPhones, while is totally missing in Androids! Thus, our iPads, iPhones, Androids are soft targets for cyber attacks. This puts the responsibility on users to make the security of their smartphones a high priority.

This article elucidates the best practices you can adopt for securing your devices:

  1. Always turn off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi when not using them. Apart from draining the device's battery, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth provide easy access for hackers and cyber criminals; resulting in a loss of certain features/applications on your phone, a loss of contact information or an increase in your phone bill.

  2. Enforce strong password policies on your device. Avoid obvious passcodes like 1111, 0000, 1234, 5683 etc. To prevent any unauthorized access to your device data, you may set your device to wipe all the data, after an 'x' number of failed attempts. Also, the screen must be set to lock after the device remains idle for an 'x' number of minutes.

  3. Enable encryption on your back up files. Many smartphones, especially those with Apple and Google, automatically take a backup and encrypt the device data. However, if automatic backup and encryption are not available on your device, you must install a third party application and take backup of your phone data.

  4. Disable Localization when not using it. This way your location details will not be tracked and software vendors cannot contact you. Some applications like Google Earth require this option to be turned on; just remember to keep it turned off the rest of the time.

  5. Use a VPN for connecting to the Internet over a public Wi-Fi hotspot. Doing so prevents any over-the-air sniffing and makes the connection even more secure.

  6. Ensure your devices are up to date with the relevant security patches and firmware updates to maintain the healthy state of the device. Security and firmware updates make the device more stable and less susceptible to any data vulnerabilities.

  7. Use a password manager to store and manage your passwords in a secure way. Many device owners store their account credentials for different applications (online banking, email accounts, forums, memberships, etc.) in a text file. This is very risky and makes the data vulnerable to cyber attacks.

  8. Data wipe must be turned on in case devices are lost or stolen.

  9. Download applications for your smartphone only from trusted sources or official sites.

Summer trends for 2011

This season brought something fresh and exciting into the mix: color! The "in" colors are bright enough to get you out of the funk and into the sunshine. Patterns are also exploding into the clothing racks, with tribal patterns being the king of the jungle. From red lipstick to lace, to the 70's vibe, this season takes on a playful and vibrant persona.

Red Lips
Savory, hot red lips are favored this season. From runways to streets, women are rocking this bold color with sheer confidence. When I was young, I thought that being old enough to wear red lipstick marked the new stage of womanhood. There is something very powerful in wearing red, just make sure you pick out the red that's appealing to your skin. When wearing red lips, make sure the rest of your make-up stays mellow. Stay away from heavy eyeliner and blush. The point is to invoke the femme fetal, not a streetwalker.

Lace
Sheer fabrics with lace are both endearing and sensual. Lace is back with new and fun ideas for mixing up the fashion scene. Try layering a striped tank under a cream or black lace tank. When I think of lace, I think lingerie, femininity, softness, and sensuality. Make sure to wear proper undergarments, the look is classy not trashy.


Patters and Prints
It seems that tribal prints are coming out of the jungle and ruling storefront windows. Parallel stripes are just behind them with a fusion of bright color combinations. Animal prints are blended with new colors like peaches, oranges, blues and greens. Don't be afraid to try these new patterns, play around with this savory color palette.

Draping and Loose
The Kim Kardashian clinging dresses have been upstaged by more boxy, loose and draping styles. Light materials and soft colors bring elegance and class to any woman. This forgiving new trend is a reason to celebrate for those of us who lack the body of a supermodel.

Odd Color Pairs
A psychedelic vibe in terms of colors, not pattern has been welcomed this summer. Color combinations like florescent oranges and pinks, bright greens, blues and yellows have been brightening up the fashion world. I do believe that during this time of a recession, these vibrant hues are, as Bob Marley would say it, are "lively-ing" up our souls.

Florals
From small flowers to giant petals, florals are in full boom this summer. Christian Dior, Chanel and Dolce and Gabana are just a few designers who introduced florals in their Spring/Summer 2011 collections. It's sometimes easy to jump on the trend bandwagon; the trick is to make the trend work for your individual style. From maxi skirts to a-line dresses, to jumpers, you are bound to find something that will be your fit.

Jumpers
They surfaces last season and now they are bolder and brighter then before. I personally love the full length, wide legged jumpsuits. They are elegant and have an even, horizontal line that elongates the body. The wide leg jumpsuit brings a balance to your form as well. From denim, to florals, to tribal prints, the selection of jumpers this summer is endless.

Suits
The blazer action that hit hard last season paired up with menswear inspired style pants to bring back the polished and sophisticated "interview" suits. Lighter colors of creams, whites and grays are big players in this season, as well as pinstripes and double-breasted blazers.

70's Vintage
Some of the key styles of the 70's are re-introduced with a new and innovating direction in fashion. High waisted jeans, shorts and maxi skirts are paired up with elegant crop tops and chunky jewelry. Brick, rust and yellow colors along with pleaded skirts and dresses are calling the women to claim the fashinista within by rocking this style with a confidence and independence that it craves.

Small Baggage
Time to swap out the boho purse for the much smaller hand held bag. Mini purses and clutches are the summer's new breeze. You might not be able to fit all you belongings into it, but think of the rest you'll give your back shoulders but shedding the bottomless carryall.
