A few months back I purchased a MacBook Pro. Over the past few months, I have been gradually familiarising myself with the operating system and the features it has to offer.

SeventhSide Games recently launched its first game “Beebble“, a city builder (a virtual town simulator) geolocalised at a junction between Farmville, Sim City and Foursquare, offering players the possibility to allow their virtual environment to interact with their real world location.

The game’s story was inspired by one of Albert Einstein’s theory, stating that the survival of humanity rests on the bees’ destiny: “If bees disappear from the planet, Man will only have four years to live.”

To save humanity the Professor Beebblestein, a crazy scientist, created a new genetically modified species of bees names the Beebbles, capable of communicating with humans. During the professor’s experiments, an explosion occurred, scattering the Beebbles contained in his incubator to all four corners of the world.

By downloading the free game, the players will be asked to explore real locations around them to uncover the Beebbles who may have found themselves there after the blast. As well as enticing players to discover new areas of their real world, the game pushes them to create communities for these bees by placing towns within the Beebble universe but positioned in the real world. These towns will then be developed by the players, as well as any new friends they may make within the game.

Thus, by saving the Beebbles, will humanity be saved as well?

I recently wrote about Wondershare PDF to Word online, which is a good route to edit PDF files. However, it does require the intermediate step of converting to Word.

Wondershare PDF Editor includes all the features people need to manage and edit PDF files: view PDF file; edit text, object, images; annotate PDF with shapes, odd geometry, sticky note, highlighter, pencil, etc.; convert PDF to MS Word documents; merge and split PDF. Wondershare PDF Editor should be a comprehensive PDF tool.

The software has the familiar Office style design which seems like you are working right out of Microsoft Word or Excel.

Though named as PDF Editor, it can be regarded as a PDF reader. Compared with Adobe Reader, which is always slow and bloated, Wondershare PDF Editor is much faster and simpler. You can open multiple PDF files at the same time and easily shifted from one to another.

Simple user interface, no more submenus makes it so easy that even people with  few computer skills will be able to use it with ease. Just click “Edit Text”, then everything is under control: adding text, setting font style, color, size, and deleting text.

The most often used feature of editing PDF files is adding annotations. One cool feature of Wondershare PDF Editor is its ability to easily add annotations. Just click to add annotation freely and effortlessly.

Wondershare PDF Editor gives you a one click option to merge imported PDFs or a simple click to set page ranges to split PDF files.

Wondershare is running a contest that will allow you to win a the upcoming paid version for free. All you need to do is provide some good feedback 3 or more times on the beta. So, why don’t you give the full feature PDF Editor beta a test for 100 days. If you do not wish to provide feedback, downloading the beta will allow you to update it to the upcoming paid version for 50% off .

A new treat is in store for Nokia Lumia owners as the company releases a video streaming app. Nokia has just released a beta app that is designed for streaming video content from a Lumia device to a TV.

Users can download the beta Play To app that will work with a Nokia Lumia 710 or 800 and link it with any device that is DLNA which means the Digital Living Network Alliance, so a TV, Blu-Ray player or a laptop. The connection means you can link devices wirelessly and it is designed especially for streaming media content.

DLNA is nothing new to the smartphone world. Many Apple and Android devices already have the capability. It is increasingly important for manufacturers to emphasise how a smartphone can sit within the rest of peoples’ technology, so a tablet or a TV, PC or Mac, as smartphones get more powerful it becomes more important to share data between different platforms. A big deciding factor for people buying phone contracts today is how easily a handset can interact, either for sharing work, transferring photos or accessing multimedia from other sources.

The Nokia Lumia 800 comes with an 8 megapixel camera with an f/2.2 camera lens and a dual LED flash. It is capable of 720p HD video recording. The camera app allows you to set automatic settings for different scenes as well as setting a white balance to achieve colour correction. The video app has been criticised in some corners for not having a zoom function while recording. However when you shoot video in the day there is a depth of colour as well as sound quality but it does take the app a few seconds to adjust to a change in light and brightness settings.

The Play To app can be downloaded straight to the device and can then be used to stream any videos or pictures straight from the handset. It does not yet support music streaming, but Nokia says that is planned for a future update.

As Play To is still in beta, Nokia says they are looking for responses and feedback from users to the app. Now that it is available in the Windows Marketplace they want to encourage feedback as it will make the app perform even better and reduce any glitches or problems with interactivity or performance.

For Nokia the app will be big news as people look for more from the Finnish firm’s first Windows Phones. The link with Microsoft, and the fact that there is already a Xbox Live licence that comes with the handset means there is great potential for linking up with a console. More and more Xbox and PlayStation users are streaming through their console, thanks to existing apps like Netflix and Love Film, so having a smartphone link up with a console makes it even more integrated than many existing DLNA enabled phones. Nokia says that as well as music they are hoping to plan functionality that allows the handset to act as a DLNA Media Server. That would be increasing link up with an Xbox 360 and other similar devices.

iTunes allows you to quickly create a playlist which you can create either manually by selecting files from your library or alternatively a smart playlist based on certain criteria. However, one lesser known feature is creating playlists from a folder on your hard drive.

Creating a playlist from a folder is a simple two step process. The first step is similar to creating any other playlist. Hit + sign at the bottom left of your screen and give your playlist a name.

Once you have your playlist created, all you need to do is drag and drop the folder which contains your music on the playlist entry that you just created.

iTunes will automatically read all the files in the folder and add it both to the playlist, as well as your music library. The next time you sync your iPod, iPad or iPhone with iTunes, the new playlist that you created will be copied onto the device, ready for you to play!

Do you have a cool iTunes tip? Comment below and let us know.

The grass is always greener, and we’re always looking to the next best thing. We evaluate our partners next to random lookers on the street, and we compare our dated phones with Sony’s sexy Xperia S. But is that so wrong?

Yes, it is, but the Xperia S is too desirable not to look twice at.

It’s sophisticated and beautiful, because Sony have put real thought into its design. From the transparent strip near the bottom of the phone to the off-colour lip – there are flourishes all over that make this one trendy little handset. Tan touch buttons control the phone, and are found on the front of the chassis. The whole feel of this model gives the impression of stability, so you won’t be dropping it anytime soon – well, until a younger model comes along…

But the most exciting features of the Xperia S are on the inside, not the outside. Well, apart from the impressive 12 megapixel camera – but we’ll get to that later. The display on the Sony Xperia S measures in at 4.3 inches, and comes with Reality Display. It’s considerably larger, and definitely clearer, than that of the iPhone 4S. The pixel count is also 1280 x 720, so you can stream media in all its glory. And if you want to watch movies on your television, simply plug the phone in via its HDMI port.

You won’t experience lag when you’re switching between media and applications either. The dual-core 1.5Ghz processor is pretty powerful, and twice as fast as that of the iPhone 4S. It’s also PlayStation certified, so you’ll have the entertainment of a PSP with a whole load of extras.

Having said that, the accessories and extras that you can run alongside the Xperia S are a little gimmicky. The SmartWatch is one such accessory – a splash-proof touch screen that streams Twitter and Facebook directly to your wrist. SmartTags are another useless addition, and Sony’s attempt at NFC (near field communication). The idea is that you buy two or three of these tags (at around £20 a piece – phew) and dangle them in random places to change profiles between the home, office and bedroom.

Sony seem to have forgotten that it’s quite possible to do this manually. Either that, or they’re out to make money from our laziness. Whatever the reason, we won’t be purchasing SmartTags.

But to end on a positive note, let’s go back to that camera. At 12 megapixels, the Xperia S will allow even the worst photographer to snap great shots every time. The addition of Sony Exmor R technology means that whether it’s dusk, dawn, or just plain dingy, you can capture pictures in every light condition. What’s more, the phone’s front-facing camera can even shoot HD video – it’ll show every spot or wrinkle when you call friends and family, but it’s an exciting prospect nonetheless.

Although it will originally run on Android 2.3 Gingerbread, the Xperia S will have Ice Cream Sandwich before the year’s out. It’s due to be released in March 2012, so we suggest you get your wallets at the ready.

Rumours of the new iPad have been raging for a long time. Yesterday, Apple officially launched the iPad 3. And, I didn’t hesitate in pre-ordering the same! The iPad 3 costs £399 in the UK and $499 (plus tax) in the US. The iPad 2 is now available at £329 in the UK and $399 (plus tax) in the US.

The iPad 3 boasts of several new features including:

Retina Display

This is the biggest feature addition of the new “Resolutionary iPad”. With four times as much pixels on the same screen, the iPad just makes everything clearer.

The new display has a 2048×1536 resolution which is 3.1 million pixels which is a million more than standard HDTV displays.

A5X Chip

The new A5X is a 1GHz quad core processor, which is 4 times faster than the processor in the iPad 2. This helps deliver the same level of performance while powering four times the number of pixels, while maintaining a 10 hour battery life.

5 Megapixel iSight Camera

Finally, the iPad gets a 5 megapixel camera that allows you to click high-quality photos and 1080p HD video. The camera boasts of a hybrid IR filter and f/2.4 aperture lens that allows you to shoot high quality photos

Ultrafast 4G LTE

The new iPad supports the latest wireless technology. You will need to purchase the iPad Wifi + 4G version to take advantage of this. If you’re in the UK or USA or other countries with good 4G support, you have a better chance of enjoying this feature. In countries in India, where you might struggle to find a good 3G network, you’re unfortunately, going to be stuck with terrible download speeds.

Built-in apps

The iPad comes with its very own set of apps including Mail, Photos, Safari, Facetime, etc. And, as usual, if you want more, you can always check out the ever expanding app store.

Visiting company websites, social networking websites, and recruitment websites proves to be the best way to search for jobs. This indicates that the internet is contributing well in terms of helping people find work. Therefore, having high speed internet service is essential for your job search.

In a survey, 77% of employers said that they use Facebook and MySpace to search for candidates who fit their eligibility criteria. Additionally, they promote their job opportunities by posting their company profiles on popular social networking websites. Interested candidates contact them, give interviews, and get selected.

Secondly, job seekers avail the opportunity of applying online by visiting company websites. It does not matter whether the company is hiring at the moment or not. What matters the most is that employers get their resumes and they will contact these job seekers as soon as they have vacancies.

How the Internet Is Hurting Your Job Search

Although using the internet for job hunting has various advantages, there are some consequences as well. When employers view the profile of their candidates on Facebook and other social networking websites, they see your posted content. If they do not like it, they will reject you. This is because you might have posted your profile information on your Facebook profile that does not match your profile information written in your resume.

Searching for jobs through the internet can frustrate you at the end of the day. The reason behind this is that since the internet enables job seekers to get exposed to hundreds of thousands of jobs, they simply cannot focus on which job they should apply for. As a result, they apply to each and every job that sounds appealing. They hardly get a reply from them because their profile does not fit the employers’ criteria.

New Ideas for Your Job Search

Due to the fact that applying for jobs can be a time-consuming and exhausting task, job seekers need to know the easy way out that can help them reach their destination. If you are also a job seeker, implementing the following ideas will definitely improve the effectiveness of your job searching.

Make a Targeted Resume

First of all, it is important to know what exactly you want from your job. In this regard, you can tailor your objective in such a way that it reflects your personal as well as professional goal towards your job search. For instance, if you have a degree in Marketing, you need to ask yourself which area in Marketing you want to work. There are many aspects in a single field of interest, for example, Retail Marketing, Pharmaceutical Marketing, Internet Marketing, and many more. You need to be specific.

Visit the Company Website and Apply

As the internet is helping you find work through various websites such as Monster, CareerBuilder, and Craigslist, you need to consider the internet as an important tool for your job hunting.

However, it is better that you reach the employer directly. You can do this by visiting company websites and posting your resume there. Eventually, they will contact you because they have your resume in their database. Keep applying online if you have high speed internet service.

Do Lots of Networking

No matter how impressive your resume is, chances are that you will most probably get a job from your own network. This is because we are living in a highly competitive environment. Employers look out for people who they know well. Therefore, networking is the most essential element of job searching. You can create your account on Linkedin that will further expand your network.

if you are running a full fledged business, especially if it is online, you will realise the importance of good customer management. Besides providing support to your customers, it is also extremely essential for good business sense to create an automated solution to invoice and bill them.

Invoicera is a powerful tool that offers you tonnes of features to create invoices, track expenses and bill clients using multiple payment gateways and multiple currencies. You have several sets of plans including a free one that can get you started down the path of online billing.

The free plan offers you some very basic features including just 3 clients and 1 recurring profile. However,  you are allowed unlimited invoices, so if you are running a very small company this plan is ideal for you. The next level plan offers you 15 clients, 15 recurring profiles and more importantly auto-billing (3 nos.). However this comes at $9.95/month, so if you’re churning out a lot more than that (and you should be), then this is a perfect solution for you.

Key features:

• More than 20 Payment Gateways
• Multiple Language Support
• Scheduling of Invoices
• API Support
• Late-Fee Module
• Multiple Currency Support
• Template Customization Module

You can easily upgrade or downgrade across the various plans even during the month. Invoicera also offers you a 30 day money back guarantee, so if you’re not satisfied you can choose to get your money back.

There are quite a few websites out there which provide you with some good tools to find out about websites on the internet. Stat My Web is one such site that can easily fetch a lot of data about any website.

The website provides detailed stats about websites like – when it was created, where is it hosted, how much is it  worth and where does it rank on the web. These detailed stats are displayed in both graphical and text  formats.

I like the level of accuracy of most of the stats. The age of the website, rank and other statistics are pretty accurate. However, you do need to take the $ amounts with a pinch of salt.

Besides this , there are also over 15 tools which help in specific analysis of the website. While some of the tools are well developed, I believe tools can do some work. One that I am especially particularly interested in is the Website Speed Test tool.
