What is Apples iCloud ??


iCloud stores your music, photos, apps, calendars, documents and more. And wirelessly pushes them to all your devices - automatically. Its the easiest way to manage your content. Because now you don't have to.

Your content. On all your devices.

iCloud is so much more than a hard drive in the sky. It’s the effortless way to access just about everything on all your devices. iCloud stores your content so it’s always accessible from your iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, Mac, or PC.* It gives you instant access to your music, apps, latest photos, and more. And it keeps your email, contacts, and calendars up to date across all your devices. No syncing required. No management required. In fact, no anything required. iCloud does it all for you.
Free gets you alot

When you sign up for iCloud, you automatically get 5GB of free storage. And that’s plenty of room, because of the way iCloud stores your content. Your purchased music, apps, and books, as well as your Photo Stream, don’t count against your free storage. That leaves your mail, documents, Camera Roll, account information, settings, and other app data. And since those things don’t use as much space, you’ll find that 5GB goes a long way

Car companies do not have to keep up with the rest of society in making it easier to access social media, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood is arguing.

 
In a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal, LaHood said he is urging auto companies that report to the Department of Transportation to not add features to computers in their new cars that make it easier to distract drivers. Some car companies have added applications for social media websites to onboard computers that are often used for navigation and performance monitoring.
"There's absolutely no reason for any person to download their Facebook into the car," U.S. LaHood said in an interview with the newspaper. "It's not necessary."

LaHood said that BMW has agreed to launch a public service announcement campaign to discourage not just texting, but tweeting or facebooking, behind the wheel. Subaru has also made a similar agreement, the newspaper reported.

Beyond the Blueberry filled horizon with TDK

As always the due to some TECHnical problems we have been a bit delayed in getting going with what ís still fresh (for today) in the land of gadgetry and technology.
Hoping to give you the first look at one of the coolest devices hitting the markets and show you a world beyond the Blueberry filled horizon.

On that note, the first thing Id likes to bring up is TDK'S solution to Text Walking accidents. No more walking into poles and such whilst texting.

TDK have introduced a Transparent OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) screen, this obviously is a relatively old (couple of months) release but they have announced that it is set to be introduced into its first mass production device.

The key to the success of this is the fact that Lenovo has put much of its effort in designing the display so that it ensures privacy for the user, allowing the user all of the obvious advantages of the transparent screen preventing observers from viewing the contents of the screen from the reverse side.

At this stage, with a size of only 2.4 inches and a resolution of 240x320 (QVGA) it is unlikely to make it onto the of high end android and apple devices, but itís a step in the right direction, a clearer future!
