If you are driving along the highway and make a wrong turn or miss a turn, the GPS phone can find an alternative route, and if there is a car crash or heavy traffic ahead, it will give you an alternative route quickly. This way you can stay focused and not feel panicky when trying to reach a destination.

What better way to find your way home than with a GPS cell phone!

Stressed Out? ... Life Got You Down? ... Take a Break and Draw ----- Play!

Line Rider—one of the more popular Flash-based game diversions—has come to the iPhone. Line Rider, the phenomenon that’s been sweeping the internet perhaps the most addictive ‘toy’ of all time.

In Line Rider you draw a track and Bosh is sent careening down the course until he wipes out!
If you missed out Line Rider before, here's the premise: You draw a series of lines in any configuration you want and watch your sledder ride the lines. But it's tricky; if you mess up on the angles or lines of descent, your sledder will fall off. So it's up to you to see how big and/or crazy you can make the course from a wealth of drawing options. Choose the pencil and your type of line (regular, accelerated, or scenic) and start drawing your course. Use the Line tool to draw straight lines. An eraser removes whatever part of your track you wish, and the undo button cancels the last line you drew. The hand icon lets you move the playfield around. You can also zoom in and out of the playfield using the same finger pinches to zoom in and out of Safari. The play button starts your ride.

Finally,What you have to do is draw a landscape or course for your little friend, Bosh, to ride on his little sled. Once you draw the landscape, just press play to see how he goes whether he fly off his sled or he gets big air!

An awesome line drawing game where you draw the line ,the runner runs on. There are also few other options:

Night Ride lets you ride in the dark (a black background instead of a white one) while Draw & Pan toggles between drawing your lines and panning (very handy). Gravity Tilt allows you to bump your sledder but it's really sensitive and you could bump him right off the track.
You can rate the tracks you download, too, just like rating music or movies in iTunes.
Line Rider iRide also supports a community where you can upload your creations and download courses made by other players. You can get on the community board and see other tracks that people have created and even download them onto your phone so you can watch them in action. If you create a memorable track then you can do the same and upload it on there. There are no limits to the amount of customization you can do to each and every track you make.

Your ride is only limited by your iMagination.

It is a simple iPhone app but it will keep you interested for hours on end and you will like saying ; “Next time I'll draw an even better track!

Quality Assurance Guides Your Business.

Quality assurance verifies that any customer offering, regardless if it is new or evolved, is produced and offered with the best possible materials. "Quality Assurance Web Development" is the process of verifying or determining whether products or services meet or exceed customer expectations. Quality assurance is a process-driven approach with specific steps to help define and attain goals. This process considers design, development, production, and service.

It evolves PDCA cycle ,consists of four steps: Plan, Do,Check, and Act. These steps are commonly abbreviated as PDCA.

The four quality assurance steps within the PDCA model stand for:

1.Plan: Establish objectives and processes required to deliver the desired results
2..Do: Implement the process developed
3.Check: Monitor and evaluate the implemented process by testing the results against the predetermined objectives
4.Act: Apply actions necessary for improvement if the results require changes.

PDCA is an effective method for monitoring quality assurance because it analyzes existing conditions and methods used to provide the product or service customers. The goal is to ensure that excellence is inherent in every component of the process. Quality assurance also helps determine whether the steps used to provide the product or service are appropriate for the time and conditions.

Jailbreak iPhone Process.

i) No restrictions: Want a custom wallpaper on your home screen? Custom icons for your apps? Internet tethering? A category system for organizing your apps? The ability to hide native iPhone apps you don’t use? You can do all of this and more with Jailbreak.

ii) To join the subculture: Jailbreak iPhone belong to a movement of people who demand more from their iPhones. And they’re not gonna let Apple stop them. Beat the system: Jailbreak your iPhone.

iii) Unlock iPhone: To unlock your iPhone and use it on any carrier, you must first Jailbreak your iPhone. Some of the Jailbreak solutions below also allow you to unlock the iPhone, though unlocking is generally beyond the scope of this tutorial.

Jailbreak iPhone Cons:
i) Jailbreak maybe brick iPhone: When someone develops something for an Apple product, you run the risk of it not working as it should, conflicting with the device itself, or just all-around bricking that iPhone.

ii) iPhone update from iTunes disables Jailbreak: Every time Apple comes out with an update for iPhone, they find a way to prevent hackers from cracking the code again. Hackers then scramble to Jailbreak the iPhone again and release the new methods.

iii) Jailbreak might increase risk of getting a virus on iPhone: The only two iPhone viruses ever reported have spread across iPhones that have been Jailbroken

iv) Jailbreak voids iPhone warranty: If your iPhone is bricked because of Jailbreak, or if your iPhone has another problem and it happens to be Jailbreaked, your warranty becomes void.

Why Jailbreak iPhone

Jailbreaking lets you install applications that are not approved by Apple. Many of these applications can be very helpful but they will unfortunately never make it to the App Store due to Apple’s restrictions. There are many reasons why you would want to jailbreak your iPhone:

1.Install 3rd party applications rejected by Apple for various reasons (ie. Nudity)

2.Video recording

3.Changing the look and feel by installing custom graphics and themes

4.Free tethering

5.Get access to cracked App Store apps for free (not endorsed by me, but still worth noting)

6.Be able to unlock your iphone

Unlocking: Unlocking is the removal of SIM restrictions on the modem, allowing the use of the iPhone on any carrier.

There are 2 types of iPhone unlocks:

software unlock: the iPhone is unlocked by a software

hardware unlock: modification have to be made to the actual hardware to unlock the phone

Jailbreaking is Legal: Now, jailbreaking the iPhone is officially legal in the US, anyone can use an iPhone, on any phone with any application.

Jailbreaking - Get the Most From Your iPhone

Jailbreaking: Jailbreak is the process of hacking an iPhone to free it from Apple restrictions. Jailbreaking allows iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch users to run third-party unsigned code on their devices by unlocking the operating system and allowing the user root access. A jailbroken iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch is still able to use the App Store and iTunes.

The practice of unlocking a phone and particularly an iPhone so it can be used on another network and/or run other applications than those approved by Apple — has technically been illegal for years. Most jailbroken phones are used on the U.S. T-Mobile network or on overseas carriers, or are used to run applications that Apple refuses to sell, such as Safari ad-blocking apps, alternate keyboard layouts, or programs that change the interface to the iPhone's SMS system and the way its icons are laid out.

Jailbreaking v/s SIM unlocking: Jailbreaking is different from SIM unlocking, which, once completed, means that the mobile phone will accept any SIM without restriction on, for example, the country or network operator of origin. Jailbreaking, according to Apple, can void Apple's warranty on the device, although this is quickly remedied by restoring the device in iTunes.

iPhone users have flocked to Jailbreak in search of iPhone changes and improvements. iPhone has been held back by limited customizability, text message privacy issues, and a lack of multitasking capabilities. But Jailbreak can solve all of these problems with apps and fixes available in Cydia and Installer.

Will Amazon Become The King of Web Hosting Too?

We work closely with a number of Hosting company such as Rackspace and The Planet for our clients so this article in the Nytimes caught our eye.  Does this mean the end of traditional hosting. 

Amazon’s web services (AWS) are on track to being a half-a-billion dollar business. They’re home to some of the hottest startups on the planet. Even older startups use their infrastructure. And despite all the false rumors, pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly is a customer. Ironically, the company which put the “cloud” in cloud computing has found a fast growth opportunity in a decidedly old fashioned business — web hosting.

Introduction to lua Programming.

What is Lua?

Lua is a powerful, fast, lightweight, embeddable scripting language. Lua combines simple procedural syntax with powerful data description constructs based on associative arrays and extensible semantics. Lua was created in 1993 by Roberto Ierusalimschy, Luiz Henrique de Figueiredo, and Waldemar Celes, members of the Computer Graphics Technology Group (Tecgraf) at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil. Lua is dynamically typed, runs by interpreting bytecode for a register-based virtual machine, and has automatic memory management with incremental garbage collection, making it ideal for configuration, scripting, and rapid prototyping.

Why choose Lua?

Lua is a proven, robust language. Lua is commonly described as a “multi-paradigm” language, providing a small set of general features that can be extended to fit different problem types, rather than providing a more complex and rigid specification to match a single paradigm. Lua has been used in many industrial applications e.g., Adobe's Photoshop Lightroom, digital TV in Brazil and games. Lua is currently the leading scripting language in games. Lua has a solid reference manual and several versions of Lua have been released and used in real applications since its creation in 1993.

Features of Lua:

Lua is fast: Lua has a deserved reputation for performance. To claim to be "as fast as Lua" is an aspiration of other scripting languages. Several benchmarks show Lua as the fastest language in the realm of interpreted scripting languages. Lua is fast not only in fine-tuned benchmark programs, but in real life too. A substantial fraction of large applications have been written in Lua.

Lua is portable: Lua is distributed in a small package and builds out-of-the-box in all platforms that have an ANSI/ISO C compiler. Lua runs on all flavors of Unix and Windows, and also on mobile devices and embedded microprocessors for applications like Lego MindStorms. For specific reasons why Lua is a good choice also for constrained devices, read this summary by Mike Pall. See also a poster created by Timm Müller.

Lua is Embeddable: Lua is a fast language engine with small footprint that you can embed easily into your application. Lua has a simple and well documented API that allows strong integration with code written in other languages. Lua has been used to extend programs written not only in C and C++, but also in Java, C#, Smalltalk, Fortran, Ada, Erlang, and even in other scripting languages. It is easy to extend Lua with libraries written in other languages. It is also easy to extend programs written in other languages with Lua.

Lua is Powerful and Simple: A fundamental concept in the design of Lua is to provide meta-mechanisms for implementing features, instead of providing a host of features directly in the language. For example, although Lua is not a pure object-oriented language, it does provide meta-mechanisms for implementing classes and inheritance. Lua's meta-mechanisms bring an economy of concepts and keep the language small, while allowing the semantics to be extended in unconventional ways.

Lua is Free: Lua is free software, distributed under very well-known MIT license. Lua is not an open-source project, with code contributed by several people: all code is written by us. It can be used for any purpose, including commercial purposes, at absolutely no cost. Just download it and use it.
