31 Aug 2012The biggest change in the rumored new iPhone is the increase in screen size from 3.5″ to 4″. As we’ve seen in numerous part leaks, the new iPhone screen will be taller, but not wider. This will give the new device a resolution of 1136×640 and provide apps with more vertical space to use. In fact, it’s been found that iOS 6′s home screen already supports this larger size to display an extra row of app icons.
Amid continuing rumors that Apple is looking to increase the size of the iPhone display from the existing 3.5-inch screen to something in the range of 4 inches , one persistent concern has been how Apple would deal with the change in screen dimensions.

The apps could be run as if they were on the iPhone, using only a fraction of the iPad’s screen. Alternatively, those apps could also be run in a 2x mode, using a technique called pixel doubling to fill the iPad’s screen. However, when in 2x mode, both artwork and text would look blocky and pixelated

25 Dec 2011At some point, everyone has probably forgot where they parked their car. Usually when this happens, you either go on an unexpected walk and maze through the parking lot until you find your vehicle, or if you have a remote keyless entry, you consistently push the lock/unlock button to sound the horn, and follow the sound trail to your car.
The outside of the box said "Windows base machine or better", so I bought a Mac.
