What Apple Needs To Upgrade In The Next iPhone

The tech world is holding its breathe once more, not for whether China’s economic cold will become bronchial pneumonia that infects the rest of the world, but for what will be included in the new iPhone, which is expected to be announced next month now that Apple has set a date (September 9) for its next big reveal.

Gruesome ‘Happy Wheels’ Shoots To The Top Of The App Store

If you’re reading this, there’s a fair chance just finished playing Happy Wheels, or you’re about to. One of the great things about the app store is how unpredictable it is, especially when it comes to free apps. Sure, most of the money gets made by big, established developers, but that doesn’t mean anything is certain. Every once in a while, you get one of those out-of-nowehere Flappy Bird style successes, where millions of people around the world all of a sudden become gripped by some bizarre new distraction. Happy Wheels has been sitting at the top of the free download charts on the app store for a few days now, and it’s become clear that is is that game of the moment.

Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ review: Starborn

Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+, as its name suggests, is the bigger and flashier sibling of the SM-G925 smartphone that dazzled the world with its dual-curve display a few months ago. The newcomer is aimed at users who want a premium phablet, but don’t covet the S Pen of the Samsung Galaxy Note5 that debuted alongside it.

WMware Workstation 12 disponible

Ha salido una nueva versión de este famoso sofware de virtualización, la versión 12 que trae importantes novedades en el rendimiento

Ha salido una nueva versión de este famoso sofware de virtualización, la versión 12 que trae importantes novedades en el rendimiento

El famoso software de virtualización de sistemas operativos WMware ha sacado una nueva versión, ya van por la versión 12, estando disponible para Ubuntu,Red Hat Enterprise,CentOs,Oracle Linux(Irónico que esté disponible para un sistema creado por los creadores de la competencia directa de WMware),Fedora y Windows.

La virtualización como muchos sabréis, consiste en una especie de máquina independiente que se ejecuta dentro de una máquina física real utilizando para ello software de virtualización. Gracias a este software podremos usar parte de los recursos de la máquina real y asignarlos a la virtual, teniendo una maquina con sistema operativo y disco duro propio que se ejecutan como un programa dentro de la máquina real.

En cuanto a las novedades que trae  WMware  Workstation 12 son las siguientes:

  • Mejora del rendimiento.
  • Soporte para Directx 10 en sistemas Windows y OpenGl 3.3
  • Resolución de pantalla 4 K añadida.
  • Mejora soporte IPv6
  • Optimización velocidad de carga de imágenes ISO virtuales.

WMware es un software muy útil para personas que quieran probar sistemas operativos sin tener que instalarlos previamente, también es útil para personas que realizan pruebas con sistemas operativos servidor y para labores educativas.Por ejemplo un usuario de Ubuntu podría probar Windows 10 sin tener que recurrir a su instalación y uno de Windows 10 podría probar a instalar Ubuntu de la misma manera.

La única pega de WMware es que es una herramienta de pago, si que es verdad que existe una versión gratuita llamada player pero no ofrece apenas opciones disponibles, el precio es de unos 200 euros.

Si no quieres pagar y quieres virtualizar, recomendamos a la competencia, que es VirtualBox, al contrario que WMware, VirtualBox es una herramienta gratuita, la cual ya va por su versión 5 y que tiene características muy similares a WMware teniendo también disponibles versiones para Linux. Para descargarlo unicamente acudir a éste enlace, donde tendremos disponibles las descargas para cada distribución.

A week with the new, second gen Tile

I like to think I’m pretty good about not losing things, but that’s not always the case. My keys and phone are always the worst offenders for me, which is exactly where Tile comes in. I have spent the last week with a second generation Tile attached to my keys to see it worked, if it could help me, or if I’m more organized than I thought.

As a quick introduction, Tile is a Bluetooth-enabled square that can be attached to just about anything or stored wherever you want. It’s then connected to your phone where it acts as a beacon that can be turned on at will. The second generation Tile also features a great web interface for finding your phone, and the Tile itself has a hidden button for paging your phone.

The installation process is really simple. Just follow the directions on the box and in the app. It really only takes a couple minutes. The Tile unit itself feels well made; it’s sleek and pretty, and I really enjoy the noise it plays when being paged because it reminds me of a Game and Watch or one of those classic Tiger handheld games. I wish there was a black Tile, because my white unit got dirty pretty fast. But hey, it has character now.

In the week I used Tile, I did need it once. And it was there for me. I simply opened the app, rang my Tile, and found my keys (I left them in the bedroom, I swear I never do that). I also made sure the phone pager worked, which it did, and that the website worked, which it did. So I really don’t have any complaints about performance or how Tile functions. I did notice one small problem where it took a second for the Tile app to recognize my Tile or sometimes I had to reopen it, but it’s a small price to pay for peace of mind that I won’t lose my keys anymore.

I could end this review right here, but I want to point out something very important about Tile that I hope comes through in the brevity of this piece. Tile is really simple, and that’s one of the things I like the most about it. It’s flexible, and people have found really cool things to do with their Tile, but I just wanted to make sure I didn’t lose my keys. Integrating it into my life took virtually zero effort on my end. Far too often, technology products require you to rearrange some aspect of your life or routine to reap the benefits. All I did was install an app and attach a new keychain to my keys. I wish more things could be as simple as Tile and work as well.

To buy a Tile, head on over to Amazon or the official Tile store.

Pasbuk, la mejor aplicación Android para gestionar los passbooks

Pasbuk

Si echamos la mirada unos años atrás, recordaremos ese 11 de junio de 2012 en el que Apple presentó Passbook, su aplicación para facilitar a sus usuarios los viajes. Esta aplicación emplea archivos .pkpass que, lamentablemente, no son soportados de manera nativa por Android. Es aquí donde entra la comunidad de desarrolladores, y tras haberos presentado PassWallet, hoy os queremos presentar Pasbuk, otra muy buena aplicación para gestionar tus passbooks desde tu smarphone Android.

El problema que tiene PassWallet es que intenta emular a la aplicación de iOS, y aunque eso nos podría parecer en primera instancia, lo cierto es que los usuarios de Android buscamos otra estética. Estamos hablando, cómo no, de Material Design, las nuevas líneas de diseño de Google. Esa es la visión de ClauCookie, desarrolladora de esta aplicación. Por este motivo, me gustaría mostraros la aplicación para que sepaís un poco más de ella.

La aplicación sigue perfectamente las líneas marcadas por Material Design. La interfaz no solo es sencilla sino que, además, es bastante agradable de ver. Para descargar los passbook, simplemente tendremos que elegir Pasbuk para descargarla y, automáticamente, se nos descargará en la aplicación. En mi caso, que lo uso mucho para RENFE, cuenta con tres ventas: una con la información del tren, otra con mis datos y otra con información del lugar. Todo ello lo podemos importar a nuestro calendario para tenerlo más visible.

Capturas Pasbuk

La aplicación se puede descargar de manera totalmente gratuita desde Google Play y ya os digo que funciona realmente bien y la experiencia de usuario es muy satisfactoria. Si sois personas que viajáis mucho y andáis todo el dia imprimiendo y arrugando billetes, echadle un ojo a la aplicación. Además, no tendréis que preocuparos por líos con los archivos, ya que desde los ajustes podremos configurar Pasbuk para que borre todos aquellos que ya hayamos usado.

Google Play l Pasbuk (Gratuita)

¿Y tú que piensas? Pásate por Pasbuk, la mejor aplicación Android para gestionar los passbooks para dejar tu huella.
