Top 10 I phone applications

The top 10 iPhone Apps list features the best iPhone applications that should be ready for your iPhone as soon as you pull the iPhone from its coveted black box. All iPhone Applications now available on iTunes.com! Shop Now!
1. Yelp

Yelp connects you to user reviews of restaurants, bars and other businesses — has some nifty features. Monocle lets you point your iPhone camera’s viewfinder in any direction for an “augmented reality” street-view version of nearby establishments. The Nearby feature shows you in both list and map format which restaurants are closest to you. Bookmarks lets you read up on the spots you want to check out, add them to your bookmark list and view their location too.
2.Mint

Mint makes budgeting fun with it’s slick interface and color coded graphs and charts. The iPhone app allows you to check in with your account on the go. You can see alerts (“You’ve spent too much on parking!”) and take a quick look at your budgetary goals, which may be just the thing to prevent that impulse buy, or remind you that $4 lattes add up really fast.
3. Gorillacam

Pretty much from nowhere, Gorillacam arrived in December 2009 from the creators of the Gorillapod tripods. It mashes together a slew of features to hugely improve an iPhone’s camera (timer, multi-shot, spirit-level, on-screen grid, ‘press anywhere’ capture), meaning you can bin a half-dozen standalone apps that offer similar things.
4. Facebook

The revised grid-based ‘home screens’ provide speedy access to regularly visited sections (news feed, notifications, and so on) and pages, and the experience is such that it in many ways beats the browser version.
5. Fring

Skip past expensive data charges for international calls with the free VoIP caller Fring (free). With it, you’ll be able to talk to friends using Skype, SIP, Windows Live Messenger (MSN), Google Talk, and ICQ’s protocols–as long as you have a strong Wi-Fi connection. In addition, you can skip over Palringo altogether and IM with Fring instead. It supports the chat services above, as well as AIM, Yahoo, and Twitter; but you’ll lose out on photo messages.
6. RunKeeper

The prospect of Nike+ but better and for free might sound unlikely, but that’s what RunKeeper Free provides. The app uses an iPhone’s GPS capabilities to track your jogging route, and provides mapping and details of pace and calories burned. Activities can be shared online, and treadmill runs can be entered manually.
7. Slacker Radio

When it comes to streaming Internet Radio, Slacker Radio is one of many comparable free music discovery apps that help you find cool songs to stream over the Internet. Slacker Radio gets you streaming songs from genre-based stations and from “stations” you create yourself around one or more artists.
8. Photoshop.com Mobile for iPhone
Photoshop.com Mobile for iPhone includes essentials like a cropper and rotater, color adjusters, and a handful of effects to change tone and tint, or apply thematic edits to give images a border or vintage feel. Apart from its no-cost price tag, the other major draw to Adobe’s Photoshop iPhone app is the one-button uploading of photos to a Photoshop.com account, as an alternative to saving edited photos on the phone. We also like being able to snap a photo using the tool and then upload it to Photoshop.com right away.
9. Bloomberg Mobile

Bring the power of the most trusted source for financial information to your iPhone, along with tools to help you analyze the world’s markets. Bloomberg offers news, stock quotes, company descriptions, market leaders/laggers, price charts, market trends analysis, and more. You are also able to create a customized list of stocks that you want to follow from markets around the world.
10.Flixster

When it’s a movie-going experience you want, go straight to the free Movies app, populated by Flixster.com. You’ll find a logical tabbed interface where you can get movie showtimes, tickets, trailers, and maps to nearby theaters. Movie-watchers can hunt by title, theater, and rating. Flixster’s iPhone app offers a seamless, rich experience for finding reviews, upcoming titles, new DVD releases, and some artsy flicks. Integration with Netflix, Facebook, and Yelp helps make Movies the ultimate customized cinematic companion–at least for the U.S, U.K., and Canada.

Epson home cinema projectors

A few weeks ago I had the chance to see the latest Epson projectors in action.
For a while now I have been a big fan of projection home cinema set ups, and I'm not alone. They have continued to rise in popularity over the past few years due to their increasingly good quality and ease of use. In addition it can be one of the most cost-effective ways to create a home theater/media room at your home. Projectors often offer more value for money providing you with a larger screen for less than an equally-sized plasma or LCD would cost.
At the event I had the chance to check out a number of different projectors from top of the line to more entry models.
However, the two models that really caught my eye were the Epson EH-TW5500 and the Epson EH-R4000. The first is a Full HD projector that uses super resolution technology to give you a real-life cinema experience. I watched Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho on it and was blown away by the quality this classic was displayed in. The projector boasts an impressive 200,000:1 contrast ratio, explaining the stunning image.

The other projector that really caught my eye was the Epson EH-R4000. This is the latest ultra-high-quality projector from the maker and is aimed at the serious home cinema enthusiast. The projector features Epson's new 3LCD Reflective panel technology and a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1, offering a full imersive experience to the viewer. Epson's projectors have previously received criticism that the blacks are not dark enough, however after watching The Dark Knight on this latest offering, I am going to have to say this is definitely no longer a problem.

Top 10 longest tunnels in the world

St Gotthard Tunnel


Location: Switzerland
Date Completed: 1882 (rail) and 1980 (road)
Length: rail 9.25 miles and road 10.5 miles

Facts:
The world's longest road tunnel when completed in 1980.


Laerdal Norway

1995.03.15: Start of work
1999.09.03: Break through 10.6 km from Nyheim.
2000.11.27: Opening ceremony at Laerdal portal


From the north portal (Laerdal)of the Laerdal tunnel in November 2000. The first foreigners to cross Laerdal tunnel. The "Laerdal Tour", from Milano (Italy) to Laerdal through Austria, Germany, Denmark and Sweden, by a Renault Espace, was organized by the Italian magazine "Automobilismo". For statistic curiosity, Eugenio A.Merzagora (first on the left) was the first foreign driver through the World's longest road tunnel.


Zhongnanshan Tunnel, or Qinling Zhongnanshan Tunnel



is the longest two-tube road tunnel in the world. It is also the second longest road tunnel in the world. (Following Lærdalstunnelen in Norway) The 18,040 metres long tunnel, crosses under the Zhongnanshan (Zhongnan Mountain) in Shaanxi Province, China. It opened on January 20, 2007, becoming part of the Xi'an-Ankang Highway between the Changan and Zhashui counties. The cost to build this tunnel was 3.2 billion Yuan (US$410 million). The maximum embedded depth of the tunnel is 1640 m.


Arlberg Austria



The Arlberg Road Tunnel with a length of 13,976 metres is Austria's longest road tunnel. It carries the S16 Arlbergschnellstraße (German for "Arlberg Highway") under the Arlberg massif from Tyrol to Vorarlberg.

It was built between July 1974 and December 1978 and its costs amounted to 4 billion Austrian schillings (~300 million €). The tunnel is designed for 1800 vehicles per hour and equipped with 4 ventilation centres (one shaft with a height of 736 metres is the deepest in Europe), 12 vents, 43 cameras for traffic monitoring and 16 niches. In 1998 the tunnel was used by 2.6 million vehicles, where 18 % are accounting for freight transport.

The Hsuehshan Tunnel




"Snow Mountain" tunnel, is the longest tunnel in Taiwan, located on the Taipei-Yilan Freeway (Taiwan National Highway No. 5). It is through the Hsuehshan Mountain Range. The road connects the city of Taipei to the northeastern county of Yilan (Ilan), cutting down the journey time from two hours to just half an hour. One of the key aims of constructing the tunnel was to connect the western coast of Taiwan, where 95% of the population live, to the eastern coast of the island and in doing so tackle the unbalanced development on the island. It is constructed with one pilot tunnel and two main tunnels for eastbound and westbound traffic. The total length is 12.942 km (8.042 mi), making the Hsuehshan Tunnel the second longest road tunnel in East Asia and the fifth longest road tunnel in the world.
The Hsuehshan Tunnel broadcasts a dedicated radio station on two FM channels inside the tunnel. Drivers can tune to either of the two FM stations to hear announcements regarding the Hsuehshan Tunnel, rules for driving inside the tunnel, and music.
As of May 1, 2008, the speed limit has been raised to 80 km/h with a 10 km/h tolerance. At this speed a trip through the 12.9 km tunnel takes 8.6 minutes.


The Fréjus Road Tunnel



The Fréjus Road Tunnel connects Modane, France with Bardonecchia, Italy (on the Lyon-Turin itinerary) under the Col du Fréjus in the Cottian Alps. The tunnel is 13 kilometers (8 miles) long. Construction started in 1974 and it was opened for traffic in 1980. It is one of the major trans-Alpine transport routes between France and Italy being used for 80% of the commercial roadway traffic. Speed limit is 70 Km/h.
Its entries are, on the French side, near Modane, on the A43 autoroute coming from Chambéry, and, on the Italian side, near Bardonecchia, on the A32 autostrada coming from Turin. Tolls are on both sides.The tunnel was closed for 2 months in 2005 because of a fire which killed 2 lorry drivers.
Near the midpoint is the Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane (also referred to as the Fréjus Underground Laboratory. Attempts are underway to build a larger laboratory, either in the same tunnel or in the even deeper Lyon Turin Ferroviaire 15 km to the east.


The Mont Blanc Tunnel



The Mont Blanc a road tunnel in the Alps under the Mont Blanc mountain, linking Chamonix, Haute-Savoie, France and Courmayeur, Aosta Valley, Italy It is one of the major trans-Alpine transport routes particularly for Italy which relies on the tunnel for transporting as much as one-third of its freight to northern Europe. It reduces the route from France to Turin by 50 km and to Milan by 100 km.

Begun in 1957 and completed in 1965, the Mont Blanc Tunnel is 11.6 kilometres (7.25 miles) long, 8.6 metres (28.2 ft) wide, and 4.35 metres (14.3 ft) high. The tunnel is not horizontal, but in a slightly inverted "V". Altitude on the French side: 1274 m (4091 ft); Italian side: 1381 m (4530 ft). The tunnel consists of a single gallery with a two-lane dual direction road.Plans to widen the tunnel were never implemented because of lack of financing and fierce opposition of local residents who objected to the harmful effects of increased heavy traffic.

Gudvangen Norway


The tunnel between Aurland and Lærdal is scheduled to open in 2001 on the main road between Bergen and Oslo. At 24.5 kilometres long, it will become the world's longest tunnel. The tunnel currently holding the distinction is the St. Gotthard Tunnel in Switzerland, which is "only" 16,9 kilometres. Norway's longest existing tunnel is Gudvangen Tunnel, 11.4 kilometres long.

The Lærdal Tunnel will enable motorists to avoid both landslides and weather-enforced road closures in winter. Since 1940, there have been only eight major accidents in tunnels around the world.

Folgefonn Norway



Folgefonntunnelen or Folgefonn Tunnel is an 11,150 meter long tunnel. It is Norway's third longest highway tunnel. It goes through the mountain under Folgefonna and connects Eitrheim village at the head of the Sørfjord in Odda municipality with Mauranger at the head of the Maurangsfjord in Kvinnherad municipality. Norway's riksvei 551 passes through this tunnel.
The tunnel opened in 2001. A journey which formerly took 4 hours now takes 10 minutes.

Kan-Etsu



Kan-Etsu is the kanji acronym of Kantō and the old Echigo Province comprising modern-day Niigata Prefecture.
Officially, the Kan-Etsu consists of two routes. Both begin in Tokyo and end in Niigata Prefecture. The Kan-Etsu Expressway Niigata Route consists of the entire Kan-Etsu Expressway from Nerima to Nagaoka, as well as the Hokuriku Expressway beyond Nagaoka to its terminus in the city of Niigata. The Kan-Etsu Expressway Jōetsu Route is concurrent with the Niigata Route until Fujioka Junction, where it branches off as the Jōshin-etsu Expressway and traverses Nagano Prefecture to its terminus in Jōetsu, Niigata The remainder of this article will focus on the Niigata Route section between Nerima and Nagaoka.

Twitter tips and tricks

Growing your targeted audience on Twitter calls for a little patience and a some planning strategy. Twitter is a tool growing in popularity for businesses because of the inexpensive, simple way that they can connect with their customers. Interestingly,Twitter’s business use spans all sizes of companies from small through to the big boys such as HP, BestBuy and American Airlines. The reason for it popularity is that you companies can connect with their customers and clients, advertise new products and services, and monitor their online brands.
The route to growing your targeted Twitter audience has four basic steps: First, follow folks on Twitter who you believe to be your target audience. Second, post interesting information and business updates that is related to your brand. Third, don’t spam your followers with auto-tweets, or post the same tweet over and over again. And, lastly, follow smart tweeps who are online marketers or who thought leaders in your niche. Here’s a quick overview on how to tackle each of these steps:
Finding the Right People to Follow on Twitter: Firstly, Before you begin following others, make sure your Twitter feed has a sampling of interesting posts. If your Twitter feed is empty, most people won’t follow you back. Once you’ve started with some content in your micro-blog feed, start following your target audience. There are a number of ways to do this. Two good ways to start are: a.. Go to Search.Twitter.com and type in keywords relevant to your target audience. For example if you are an exercise instructor – Type in keywords like “fitness” “exercise,” “weightloss,” and other similar keywords. Follow these people. If you post relevant, interesting tweets, they will be quite likely to follow you back. You can also locate your target Twitter audience by using the “Find People” tool on the Twitter site. Again, try relevant keywords and any relevant industries and geographic areas to discover good people to follow.
Give Your Target Audience Relevant Information: Aim to post a mixed range of interesting industry news and product or services developments from your industry. You can also include some self-promotional links to your blog or website, but don’t forget to keep it to small percentage of your overall post. Post interesting news and reviews about your products or services, but don’t forget to also post related industry news as well. For instance, if you are a hairdresser, post news about hair health, new hair treatments, products etc.
An essential way to gain a targeted following on Twitter is to retweet well and retweet often. If you see a interesting, relevant tweet by another Twitterer, share it by retweeting. Often, these Twitterers will spot that you’ve just retweeted them and will return the favor by following you. Once they’ve done so you will have access to their followers-just click on the “Followers” tab, and start following. Be generous with your retweets-it’s a very successful method of gaining a following.
Check the Search.Twitter.com site frequently. Seek out your brand name. Are customers satisfied? Follow them and show your appreciation. On the flip side, are you finding dissatisfied customers? Follow them too, and find out what you can do to remedy the situation. There have been many countless cases where people have reached customer service representatives on Twitter, and changing their tweets from negative to positive when the right kind of attention is paid. This is also known as online reputation management and it is a growing area brand management that you will need to pay attention to.
Never Spam Your Twitter Followers: If you spam your followers, they will rapidly disappear. Spammy posts include: putting up identical URLs repeatedly; only posting product information for your own goods; having a Twitter handle that looks like this: SuperProduct2000 rather than: YourProductName; and asking fake questions. ie. if you sell motorbikes, it would be disingenuous to post a question like: What is the best bike on the road today? The Twitter community consists of smart and jaded consumers. They recognise when a brand is being insincere.
Follow Savvy People to Gain a Savvy Following Many online marketers have used Twitter to assist their clients to make more money. Twitter marketing experts like Dave Peck, Chris Brogan and Guy Kawasaki are great names to add to your list of people to follow. Think about adding corporations too. Those involved early on in the Twitter boom are trailblazers and can offer clever ideas on how to get a targeted following.
Don’t forget your competition. See what types of methods they’re practicing to step-up their own targeted Twitter following. Shrewd online marketers track their competition on social networks to catch what they are doing well and if they are doing it better. It’s also easier to see where your competition has gone wrong and how that can be avoided. If they hardly post and don’t respond to negative posts, its easy to see a quick opportunity to fill the gap for your audience.
Be Patient. Making Money Through Twitter Takes a While:
Using Twitter is a long-term strategy. Building a targeted following won’t occur instantly, however if you use the the right Twitter strategies, it will come about. Be very mindful with your Twitter following. Don’t flog stuff to them. Twitterers can spot a sales pitch from 100 paces and they’ll unfollow you pronto.
When you have acquired a targeted followers, market to them softly. Don’t send out tweets that say, “Buy my great product,” write more low key post such us: “Do you need a way to do ABC? Here’s a solution.” Instead of tweeting “Our latest product now available” announce it via your blog and then tweet it like this:: “New blog post: Why we’re so excited” and link to your post.
Always respond to tweets your followers send you. Don’t be unresponsive to your following. As your Twitter following grows, it may get to big for you to handle alone. Consider outsourcing the work to a virtual assistant and have them handle new tweets, retweets and appropriate responses.
Twitter is a two-way street. Being successful means means staying transparent, interacting with the Twitter community and keeping things fresh. The fastest means of losing your Twitter audience is to be dull.

Top 10 aircraft carriers

There are few naval vessels on earth more versatile and powerful than an American nuclear supercarrier. Therein lies the problem, in that only the US Navy has been able to afford a fully functional carrier fleet (aside from a few light carriers) since World War 2,and even she must now strain sparse resources to the utmost to field a shrinking numbers of large decks. That is regrettable since naval airpower is still essential for maintaining sea control and projecting power from the sea. Over the years New Wars has proposed numerous substitutes which, thanks to the continuous advancement of technology that gave us the carrier in the first place, can duplicate her many functions at drastically less cost. Here are the Top 10:

• #10 Air Force Bombers- Other than carrier-based airpower, the only combat aircraft initially able to reach land-locked Afghanistan supporting Marines and Special Forces on the ground was the USAF’s venerable fleet of long range bombers. Such weapons, able to deploy intercontinental ranges within hours, instead of days or weeks for a highly visible carrier strike force, can perform against heavily defended SAM sites using precision stand-off weapons, or perform carpet bombing or close air support against enemy troops.
• #9 UAV Carriers- The Defence Viewpoints Blog has proposed a small UAV carrier that could also perform the functions of destroyers and frigates “These ships would be roughly half the size again of a current destroyer and would combine all the abilities of Anti-Surface Warfare (ASuW) Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW), Anti-Air Warfare (AAW) and Naval Gunfire Support (NGS) through a range of weapon systems, including a squadron of 12-18 assorted UAVs and a helicopter platform airborne surveillance and for the transportation a small groups of personnel (as well as other roles).”
• #8 Airborne UAV Motherships-Following WW 2, the USAF experimented with parasite fighters to use as escorts for its strategic bombers. The idea seems tailored made for the unmanned aerial vehicle, since you don’t have to worry about losing a vulnerable pilot, as we wrote in 2008 “The UAV Mothership would not necessarily be a long-range bomber, but perhaps other aircraft would suffice such as C-17 or C-130s cargo planes, or even a converted airliner. New dirigibles currently undergoing testing might work, or long-range missiles and rockets.”
• #7 Submersible Aircraft Carriers-The UAV is continuing to prove its versatility, and has even been launched from US Navy submarines. Imagine the possibilities… “The US Navy is very close to possessing… a “flying Sub” in the Tomahawk Block IV cruise missiles. The latest version of the highly effective Tomahawk that is fired from torpedo tubes has the ability to loiter for hours and change targets in mid-course…Plans continue for launching unmanned aerial vehicles from submarines in the War on Terror. Northrop has proposed using the sub-launched Tomahawk’s vertical tubes for UAVs from a stealthy affordable capsule system (SACS). Raytheon plans a similar test (in 2009), launching the craft from a submerged submarine’s trash disposal unit!”
• #6 Arsenal Ships-It was thought in the 1990s the Navy could build an affordable missile barge at about half the cost of a destroyer, but with over 5 times the firepower. In 1995, the NY Times wrote “Prospects for that ship, which is still on the drawing board but could be in the fleet within five years, raise questions about how many new carriers the Navy will need. A carrier costs $4.5 billion to build and $440 million a year to operate. The new ship, essentially a floating missile barge, might cost only $500 million and just tens of millions a year to run. The new ship would fire Tomahawk cruise missiles, long-range artillery shells or rocket barrages against ammunition dumps, command posts and artillery, for instance, the same targets that warplanes flying off the carrier Roosevelt were bombing in Bosnia …”
• #5 TLAM Warships-Another idea would be to use existing missile firing warships more effectively, as we posted on recently “We contend that the TLAM (Tomahawk Land Attack Missile) is the best weapon to take advantage of the new precision warfare of one bomb or missile, assuring one hit. This doesn’t just balance the cost effectiveness of the two platforms either, but completely blows the carrier out of competition. Currently the USN has in service 130 TLAM ships–80 cruisers/destroyers and 50 submarines–positioned around the world… Far from being as efficient as a legacy manned warplane, they don’t need to be, just effective. Meanwhile, advances in technology are constantly upgrading the cruise missile until it is as versatile, still without the monumental expense of deploying naval air at sea.”
• #4 Land-Based Fighters-During the recent crisis between Argentina and Great Britain, we noted how the presence of a handful of RAF fighters based on the South Atlantic Isles were probably deterring a renewed war there “a mere 4 Royal Air Force Typhoon fighters are currently guarding the British Overseas Territory of the Falkland Islands. While the Navy would certainly be on call in force should the unthinkable happen, invasion from the Argentine mainland, the Mount Pleasant Airport, constructed soon after the 1982 Conflict would be the key to the island’s defenses…Given time, Mount Pleasant could expect reinforcement planes from Britain including more Typhoons.”
• #3 Harrier Carriers-The near-40 yr old Harrier V/STOL jet is still an amazing aircraft in frontline service. It’s most famous use has been from light carriers, giving small navies a strike capability they wouldn’t otherwise have, as I noted back in 2005 “Since the 1982 Falklands War, Britain has proved that small aircraft carriers with Harrier V/STOL aircraft can hold their own against fixed wing jet fighters. Likewise these planes have proved ideal for launching from the US Marine’s big assault ships during Operation Iraqi Freedom where they were dubbed “Harrier Carriers”.”
• #2 Light Aircraft Carriers-Also known as medium carriers, other than V/STOL ships, I think a smaller catapult warship of about half-the tonnage and cost of current supercarriers would be most useful “The airwing would consist of 3 squadrons of 12 planes each, for 36 fighters, a mix of F/A-18 Super Hornets and the F-35C Lightning II JSF as the latter becomes available. Since all carriers typically sail with helicopter equipped escorts, the need for an ASW wing would be negated, save for a few utility choppers. The electronic warfare “Grizzly” complement might be reduced to 2, as would the EW Hawkeyes, though certainly no more than 3, and perhaps advances in technology might integrate the essential missions of both aircraft.” Note that 40 strike planes is now typical of what the giant Nimitz class deploys.
• #1 Influence Squadrons-It is becoming increasingly evident that massive, hard to build, and nearly impossible to afford supercarriers are just not needed for most problems of modern seapower. Very often, the lighter footprint of soft power is all that is required, as well as being drastically less expensive. “Instead of Carrier Strike Groups, we would send “Influence Squadrons” as recently described by Commander Henry J Hendrix in a Proceedings article titled “Buy Ford, Not Ferrari.“ Such a unique and versatile fleet as proposed would include an amphibious mothership, missiles escorts, high speed–shallow water catamarans, a littoral combat ship, and notably M80 Stiletto stealth craft. Such a smaller, less vulnerable, less costly fleet makes much more sense than risking so much of our national treasure in giant flattops, in the type of insurgency conflicts we so often contend with where a “Ford” will fit in just nicely.
