Facebook Tips For Married Couples

Why are Facebook tips for married couples necessary? Because believe it or not, more and more couples are separating and divorcing because of inappropriate relationships that began on Facebook.
You see, Facebook opens up a portal into the world in a way we've not experienced before. If you're searching for a long lost relative or your high school sweetheart, it's likely you'll find them on Facebook. If you're not searching for anyone on Facebook, don't worry, they'll find you. This can be problematic.
Mainly problematic for married couples if not handled properly.
Here are a few tips to help the two of you enjoy the benefits of Facebook without falling prey to the dangers.
1. Your spouse should be given the password and user name for your Facebook account. If this information is too confidential to share with your spouse, then frankly there's something wrong with that picture.
2. Your Facebook profile photo should be a picture of both you and your spouse.
3. Don't accept friend request from people of the opposite sex if you do not know them.
4. Don't accept friend request from ex-boyfriends, or ex-girlfriends.
5. Don't share information with others on Facebook that you would not also share with your spouse.
Taking daily steps to ensure that your relationship is happy and healthy is one of the biggest things you can do to reduce the chances of inappropriate behavior while social networking. Marriages where neither spouses' needs are being met are more susceptible to these risks.
In conclusion, Facebook is a wonderful socializing tool when used with care. Practicing these tips can help you and your spouse avoid the heartache and destruction that follows internet infidelity.

15 Tips for Getting More People to Like Your Facebook Page

There are over three million active Facebook pages, and these pages are gaining millions of new fans every day.
Yes, I just said fans.
Although the button has changed from "Become a fan" to "Like," the action of joining a brands page remains the same. Facebook pages are still fan pages.
With Facebook's announcement of The New Messaging there are more reasons to like Facebook, and Facebook pages, than ever.
I hope you enjoy this post about 50 Ways to Get More People to "Like" your Facebook Page, and if you do I would really appreciate it if you share these tips with your friends, and join the FacebookFlow fan page.
Here are the tips:
1. Post a Status Update
Post a status update mentioning your Facebook page.
Don't be afraid to outright ask people to join your Facebook page. Ask and you shall receive.
Give them a great reason why they should join, tell them news, or find a creative way to mention and link to your page.
2. Link to Your Page as a Place of Employment
The info box under profile pictures is being phased out, so now if you want an omnipotent link on your profile to your page you will need to list your Page under employment. Once you do this your Facebook Page will appear under your name on your Profile.
3. Offer an incentive for people to sign up
Using some static fbml you can create a dynamic Facebook landing page with a "reveal tab" that contains content that is visible only to fans of your page.
The more valuable your incentive is, the more people will be compelled to click the "Like" button to access it.
Examples of exclusive content could be: An exclusive Video, an exclusive whitepaper/.pdf, exclusive pictures.
Stay tuned to FacebookFlow. In one of our upcoming posts will explain how to set up a "reveal tab."
The image below shows different levels of increasing effectiveness for acquiring new fans.
Involve offers apps (and several of them are totally free) that make it easy to create a "Fan Gate" containing incentives, like a file or coupon, that will cause more people to "Like" your page.
4. Contact admins of groups related to your page
Groups are more powerful than pages in terms of their messaging ability. Pages send updates, but groups send messages directly to a users Facebook inbox, triggering an email alert.
If you contact the admin of a Facebook group with some valuable content that adds value to their readers then this can help them nurture their community and help you build yours.
5. Get people to join your page via SMS
Send a text message to 32665 (FBOOK) with the words "fan yourusername" OR "like yourusername" (without the quotes).
This feature is ideal when you're in front of a live audience.
6. Install a page Badge
Facebook Badges are a simple, yet effective way to link to your Facebook profile.
Unlike widgets, badges are simply images, and will load much faster.
7. Install a Facebook "Like Box" into your site
Installing a "Like Box" is an excellent way to allow visitors to your site become fans without even leaving your page.
The like box builder tool makes it easy to customize the size of your like box, the number of connections to display, and even the color scheme.
Shown in the image below is the rarely used "dark" color scheme.
8. Use status tagging
Status tagging is a cool and fairly new feature of Facebook.
This feature allows you to tag any page or person by entering the @ sign and then typing the name of the page or person you want to tag.
9. Suggest your page to friends
Use the "suggest to friends" feature of your page. Use this feature sparingly. Personally, I try to only invite people go my page once because I know it annoys me when multiple people invite me.
If you have many friends you might want to consider using the "invite all" Google chrome extension, rather than clicking hundreds or thousands of times.
10. Install a Like Button into your site
Installing a like button allows visitors to like your page, and when they do this posts the their activity stream.
This can send more traffic to your site and if you have a Facebook "Like Box" and other content promotion your fan page, since this will help you convert your visitors into fans.
11. Connect your page to Twitter
Facebook Page to Twitter
Connecting your page to Twitter is an excellent way to convert your twitter followers into Facebook fans.
Using this strategy will cause all of your posts to be sent to twitter, with a link back to the Facebook version of the post.
12. Get fans to upload and tag photos
If you host (or attend) an event with several of your fans take a bunch of pictures, post them to your page, and then ask your friends to tag themselves in the pictures.
If you can get your fans to upload pictures to your page, or tag themselves in pictures you uploaded, this will post to their walls as well and will lead to additional traffic for you.
13. Install commenting on your landing page
This will allow people to comment on your page, even if they are not a fan.
Any comments made can broadcast to news feeds and lead to more traffic to your page.
Setting up Facebook commenting requires registering a Facebook application, so act on this tip with caution unless you are comfortable with code.
14. Leverage Traditional Media
Since Facebook is so widespread you can use any forms of traditional media and achieve results.
Newspapers, Media Buys, Radio, and TV all work, but are often very costly.
To maximize your promotion offer a free gift to those who join you page.
15. Newsletter promotion
If you do email marketing send a message to your subscribers letting them know about your fan page and consider including a link to your fan page in every email.

Kim Kardashian and Her Smoking Gun Numbers of Divorce - 599

[This article is neither designed to extol nor defame Kim Kardashian. Its purpose is simply to reveal the correlation between one's numbers, life and destiny.]
How does someone get divorced after only seventy-two days of being married? It seems unbelievable, but is it? Can such an event be seen in someone's numbers? The answer is Yes. In a very simple way, Kim Kardashian's marriage was doomed before it could really begin, and this is visible in the 599 number pattern of her Lifetime Monthly Timeline.
The Lifetime Monthly Timeline (LMT) is one major thread of an individual's destiny revealed in their "numbers" based on the full birth name and birth date. The LMT is a function of the actual months a person is alive plus the Specific Expression-the sum of the specific letter values in the full birth name. The LMT has two parts: an Influence and an Outcome.
Kimberly Noel Kardashian was born on 21 October 1980 (Wikipedia). Given this simple birth data, we can compute her Lifetime Monthly Timeline which reveals a major key to her romantic life and its issues.
The Influence aspect of Kardashian's LMT is revealed in the number of months she has been alive. This LMT Influence is calculated by simply multiplying her age, 31, times 12 (months in a year) equaling 372-the actual number of months she has lived up to her 31st birthday. She filed for divorce on 31 October 2011 (Halloween), just ten days after turning 31. The number 372 indicates marriage (3) undergoing concern and examination (7) in relationship (2). Together, these numbers equal a 3 in reduction (3 + 7 + 2 = 12; 1 + 2 = 3). Here again is the influence of the 3 of marriage.
The Outcome of her 372 Influence is generated by adding her 227 Specific Expression to it. This 227 is the sum of the specific letter values of her full birth name, Kimberly Noel Kardashian. For example, the letter "K" is the eleventh letter of the alphabet and has a specific value of 11. "A" has a specific value of 1 because it is the first letter of the alphabet. "Z" has a specific value of 26 because it is the twenty-sixth letter of the alphabet and so forth. Therefore, when each of the specific letter values of her birth name is added together, a 227 is the result, a numeric pattern indicating Yin (feminine) energy, others and relationship (the two 2s) focusing on reflection, seclusion, thought, analysis and introspection (7).
When Kardashian's Influence number of 372 is added to her Specific Expression of 227, it creates a sum of 599, a cipher set showing changes (5) and massive endings (99). When the numbers of this 599 pattern are added together and reduced, the result is a 5 revealing an outcome of more change (5 + 9 + 9 = 23; 2 + 3 = 5). When written as a whole, this pattern is 599-5. The two 5s serve as bookends of change for the powerful 99 energies of endings-the reality of her life when she decided to divorce.
For simple clarity, the single ciphers (crowns) of the number patterns 372 and 599 can be used to form a 3/5 IR Set (Influence/Reality or Outcome). The number 3 represents marriage, well-being, health and beauty and the 5 indicates change. By itself, the 5 doesn't signify endings necessarily. It is the powerful double 9s creating the 99 that signify endings and conclusions.
Summary
Life and destiny are visible in the numbers of our birth name and birth date. The numeric pattern 599, representing change, detachment and freedom (5) playing itself out in an energy field of endings and conclusions (99) reveals, in part, the divorce of Kim Kardashian. Other factors in her chart are also germane, but this 599 outcome pattern is, arguably, the smoking gun manifesting the cutting of her nuptial knot after only seventy-two days of marriage. ~ finish

Videos Loading Slow on YouTube? Here Are Steps to Fix the Problem Forever

Everyone who has an Internet connection has watched a video on YouTube... but if you are trying to view clips and are continually having to wait for it to load, you could have some problems deep inside your PC. There is a very simple set of steps to fix this problem, and this tutorial will show you how.
Step 1) Reinstall Flash Player
The first thing you want to do is to reinstall Flash player. This is the technology which YouTube uses to play videos on your computer and is what causes most of the issues. To do this, you should first uninstall Flash Player by clicking on Start > Control Panel > Add / Remove programs and then locating "Adobe Flash Player". There might be several instances of the Flash Player program on your PC (notably "ActiveX" and "plugin".)
You should uninstall both of them and then restart your PC. When you've restarted Windows, try going on Youtube again. It should prompt you to download Flash, which you should do. After installing a fresh copy of Flash, you then need to check to see if the problem as gone or not.
Step 2) Reinstall Your Internet Browser
If you are using FireFox or Chrome, then it's advised you reinstall your Internet browser to make sure that all the files that are inside it are clean and working correctly. You can do this by heading to the respected website of your favorite browser and then downloading the latest version of it. This will then overwrite your current browser and keep all your old settings. If anything was wrong with your browser & caused the YouTube pausing problem, this would fix it.
Step 3) Check Your Internet Connection
One of the main causes of YouTube videos running slowly is just down to how fast your Internet is. You should make sure you have a fast connection by looking for "Internet Speed Test" on Google. You also need to make sure that any other computers on your network are not using excessive amounts of bandwidth by checking to see if anyone is downloading or checking their emails constantly. You need to have as faster Internet connection as possible to allow you watch videos smoothly online.
Step 4) Clean Out The Registry
If none of the above fixes work, then you should try cleaning the 'registry'. This is the Windows database which stores the information and settings that your programs need to run. It's often the case that many registry settings become corrupted and lead your PC to run slower and with errors. This affects the speed of your YouTube videos as they need to use a lot of registry settings to run. To clean out the registry, you should download a registry cleaner and let it scan your PC. It will remove any of the damaged or corrupted settings that are inside this database, allowing your computer to run a lot faster again.

Archer: 1st Melbourne Cup Winner

Comparing horses from different eras is indeed problematic. Runners from the early days had fewer racing opportunities, breeding and training methods varied, and comparing a Thoroughbred Racehorse from the 1800s with one from the 1900s or the current century prevents true objectivity from being possible.
One case in point concerns the large bay stallion named Archer. On the one hand, he won two Melbourne Cups in a row, the inaugural race in 1861 and again in 1862. Only three others have won twice: Peter Pan, Rain Lover, Think Big with Makybe Diva the only runner to win three cups.
On the other hand, Archer's winning time in these two wins would have been sufficient to win in only 1864. Kingston Town's record, even considering the slightly shorter distance he covered as a result of the switch to the metric system, would have put Archer down by over 30 seconds. That would be an almost inconceivable gap of around 500 metres.
Yet, Archer had a winning strike rate of over 70% due to his 12 wins from 17 starts, compared to 60% from Peter Pan (38 starts/23 wins), one of the other two-time Cup winning Hall of Fame recognized Thoroughbreds. It must also be acknowledged that Archer was good enough to beat 16 Cup starters in 1861 and 19 in 1862.
It could be argued that Peter Pan's 15 major wins far outstrip Archer's 10, but that takes us back to the fewer opportunities to run argument, as Peter Pan had 38 starts to Archer's 17.
Makybe Diva earned entry to the Hall Of Fame with 10 major wins, the same number as Archer, and she had 36 starts. Her 15 wins puts her winning strike rate at only around 42%.
By any standard of fairness, Archer belongs in the Hall Of Fame. His winning strike rate places him far beyond the other two mentioned. His major wins are at least adequate, more so when you consider the low number of starts, and his accomplishment of winning not just two consecutive, but the first two Melbourne Cups consecutively, qualifies him by a historical standard alone.
All debate and Archer for-Hall-of-Fame campaigning aside, let's take a look at the career of this literal (16.3 hands) and figurative giant among horses. Thoroughbred records of that era, while nowhere near as extensive as is now possible, were frequently better than those types of records kept for people, so much of Archer's history, even though perhaps mixed in with some exaggerated events, is fairly well documented.
Archer was foaled in 1856. There is some argument about the exact place, but it was either Exeter Farm or Ballabala. His sire was William Tell and his dam Maid of the Oaks. The bloodline was predominantly British, which was often the case in those times.
Archer was trained, and on paper owned, by Etienne de Mestre, known for having trained more Melbourne Cup winners of anyone other than Bart Cummings. He is tied for Melbourne Cup wins with John Tait and Dato Tan Chin Nam, but Archer and Etiennes's 1867 winner, Tim Whiffler, were leased. Only 1878 cup winner Calamia was truly owned by de Mestre.
Archer Racing Record:
Archer was tried only twice as a three-year-old. He failed to place in two events contested at Randwick in late May of 1860, the Tattersall's Free Handicap and the Randwick Plate.
A matter of several months later, beginning on 6 September 1860, now running as a four-year-old, he produced six consecutive wins with John Cutts aboard. Quirks of the scheduling calendar of those times enabled Archer to win two Randwick plates as a four-year-old, the first on 8 September 1860 and the next on 4 May 1861. The very next day, Archer took the Maitland Town plate with de Mestre aboard, since Cutts was riding de Mestre's other horse in this race that had just the two runners.
First up as a five-year-old, Archer produced his first Melbourne Cup, at 3:52 tied for slowest all-time, yet still by a considerable margin over a respectable field.
Again proving his stamina, he raced the next day and took the Melbourne Cup Plate, another two-mile event, giving him an unbeaten streak that encompassed nine races over a time period of 11 months.
Two thirds and a first in the AJC Queen's Plate capped Archer's four race five-year-old campaign.
Archer's six-year-old season had him breaking the 64 kg weight level for the first time, and 3 miles over the Geelow course relegated him to a third-place finish.
That weight and distance may have contributed to his already formidable stamina, because on 13 November 1862, Archer carried just a little more weight to put 8 lengths between himself and Mormon for his second Melbourne Cup. This winning margin has never been surpassed and it took 60 years before a horse again won two Melbourne Cups.
Archer ran only one more time that year. He won the All Aged Stakes at Flemington.
He was tried once as a seven-year-old, where he produced a third at Ballarat over 3 miles.
He was denied an opportunity to run in the 1863 edition of the Melbourne cup. Race officials claimed de Mestre's acceptance could not be processed in time due to a holiday. Some observers claim that given the margin Archer posted in the previous Cups, he would have been favoured to produce a third win in a small, seven horse field, but it must be mentioned that the small size of the field was the result of many owners scratching in protest over Archer's exclusion. Whether or not he would have won, all else being equal, is fodder for thought, since he drew almost 72 kg - but he was proved at distance and weight.
Archer was subsequently retired to stud where he received substantial fees, but his progeny failed to produce any stakes winners.
He died 22 December 1872 at age 16 after grazing accidentally in a field of green barley, inducing a fatal lung inflammation.
Whether or not he is eventually recognized with admission to the Hall, Archer has achieved legendary status amongst true punters, even if he did not truly walk from Sydney to Melbourne to win that first Melbourne Cup.

Tips On Coming To See The Melbourne Cup

Do you have any idea how many people are in attendance of the Melbourne Cup each year? An astonishing 100,000 plus people are at the track for the Melbourne Cup and you know that a lot of these people are from out of town or from around the world. This is exactly why you need some good tips on coming to see the race because without some great tips you will not be able to experience the race in the way that it is meant to be seen.
Tips When Coming To Melbourne
Book Your Hotel Early - The first tip that I have for you is to simply book your hotel early. With over 100,000 people in attendance there are bound to be some full hotels and if you don't have one then you will find it rather difficult to come to the city of Melbourne for the race. My recommendation would be to book your hotel at least 2 months in advance, if not sooner.
Get There A Few Days Early - Something else you need to do is make sure you are in Melbourne with a few days to space. The reason why you should do this is because there are a lot of things going on before the big race that you might want to take part in.
Go In A Group - What I highly recommend is that you don't go to the Melbourne Cup alone, it is more fun to go in a large group. The nice thing about going in a large group is that you can sometimes get group rates on things around the city and sometimes at the track.
Have Your Betting Money Handy - This is probably one of the most fun things to do while at the track, betting. If you want to bet you need to have your money ready because there will be so much betting going on that you will want to get in on the action. Trust me, if you are not betting on the race then you are not taking part in it as well as you should be.
The last thing that you need to know when coming to see the Melbourne Cup is to simply get to the track with enough time to place your bets and get to your seat. With everything that goes on before race time you will want to get there early enough that you do not miss a single thing.
There are a lot of activities and gatherings around the facility and if you want to experience everything that the Melbourne Cup has to offer you need to get their on time.

EURO 2012 As the Greatest Event in History of Ukraine and Poland

EURO 2012 is going to be the greatest event in the modern history of both Poland and Ukraine. Both countries have never hosted European and World championships. Moreover, Ukraine have never participated in EURO while Poland made its debut at last European championship.
Very few people expected Ukraine and Poland to win the bid. Italy had very strong positions, while Hungary and Croatia had good chances as well. However, the decision was made in favor of Ukraine and Poland.
As soon as the two countries learned about this decision they initiated preparations. The key requirements of UEFA were to stadiums. Of course, Poland and Ukraine had stadiums, but very few of them complied with UEFA requirement to elite 5 star stadiums. Thus, some stadiums are undergoing (or have underwent) renovation which concern stadiums' capacity, VIP zones, seats for disabled.
Of course, the two countries have to care of infrastructure. Millions of people will come to EURO, and they need airports, quality highways, hotels, restaurants etc. Obviously, Poland is better prepared, however Ukraine is taking huge steps to copy with the tasks on time.
Currently, Ukraine and Poland are busy getting ready for EURO 2012. Some stadiums are ready (like for example, a gorgeous stadium in Donetsk) while others are being still constructed. EURO 2012 news appear in mass media every day and they mostly concerns putting into commission roads, highways, stadiums and hotels. Much needs to be accomplished, but it seems like the two counties are doing OK, which is proved by UEFA Chief Michelle Platini's recent statements (however in mid 2010 UEFA had doubts as to Ukraine capability to host EURO 2012).

5 Ways to Secure Your Facebook Account

Nobody wants to be a victim of identity theft, although anybody who has a Facebook account, and hasn't adjusted their security settings could be at real risk of this due to a number of methods identity thieves use, to enable them to see your personal settings.
However, there is no need to cancel your Facebook account yet. here are 5 tips which will take you minutes and will make your account a lot more secure.
Enable HTTPS
Enable HTTPS is one of the latest additions to Facebook, although it is not a default setting. You can adjust your privacy settings all you want, but if you are viewing Facebook over an unencrypted connection, then all your information, including your passwords could be viewed by someone else. Especially since FireSheep was released.
To change this setting go to Account > Account Settings and look for the Account Security section, and make sure the 'Secure browsing' box is ticked.
Disable Public Search
Another setting that is important when maintaining your security, is the 'public search' listings. This is the setting which sets your visibility on search engines such as Google etc. Unless you have a really good reason to be discovered, then this option should always be disabled, to help prevent people finding out enough about you from your profile, to then access other accounts you may have online.
To change this setting go to Account > Privacy Settings > APPS and Websites >Public Search > Edit Settings You want the box saying 'Enable Public Search' unticked to prevent your profile appearing on Google to anyone who searches for your name.
Disable Facebook Search
For the same reason that you should disable public search engine listings, you may also want to come off Facebook's internal search as well. You can disable this by going to Account > Privacy Settings > Connecting on Facebook > View Settings > and then changing the setting on 'Find me on Facebook ' to Friends only, or if you want to have some visibility to 'Friends of friends'
Control Your Apps
Remember all those apps and games you signed up for where you are a zombie or a farmer, or where you do a test to see which character from The Flintstones you are most like. Even if you used this app years ago and haven't been near it since, it will still be able to access reams of your personal data.
To ensure that this doesn't happen you can simply switch off all apps. You do this in Accounts> Privacy Settings > Apps and Websites > Edit Your Settings. Then you want to make sure the Turn OFF all apps button is pressed, thus blocking all the apps from using your personal data. You can also go through a list of apps carefully and allow ones that you do trust and use regularly as well, if turning off all apps seems a little extreme for you.
Remove Personal Information
You should not have any personal information visible to anyone, except those that you trust implicitly. People can use this to guess passwords, or answer security questions on 'Forgotten Password' forms to gain access to email or internet banking sites.
You have to go to Account >Privacy Settings> Sharing on Facebook and change what people can see on your profile to combat these identity thieves. Even though you may like all the birthday greetings you get, it is not a good idea to let anyone see your birthday.
If you follow all these steps then you should be as safe as it is possible to be on Facebook without actually removing yourself fully from the site.

Tribute to Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs passed away peacefully in his sleep at the age of 56 years. He was suffering from a rare incurable cancer of the pancreas.
But, sure, death cannot push Steve Jobs into oblivion for he has achieved immortality through his life and mission. A life dedicated to innovations with a mission to bring technology within reach of every man.
To say that he had succeeded in his mission would be an understatement of a lifetime. Beginning very humbly, struggling to make a living by selling empty coke bottles and living without a roof over his head, Steve Jobs had come a long way indeed to become the Chairman and CEO of Apple. He brought the impeccable OS, Apple McIntosh to us and later on dazzled us with the iPods, iPads and iPhones Marvelous technology at our finger tips!
Steve Jobs (1955-2011) lived a life of achievements and futuristic innovations. Money never went to his head. He rose from the penurious early days to own US$8.50 billion in assets by the time he resigned as CEO. Apple, the company he founded, made it to the Forbes list with total estimated assets worth US$400billion dollars.
Still Steve remained the same old gentleman. He was genial, soft spoken and down to earth. Money never ever made him dizzy. He remained a gentleman to the core and dedicated his life and work to his innovations. He never was satisfied with Apple. He forayed in to other areas and bought a controlling stake in Pixar, the animations company. He sure had the Midas' touch and turned everything into gold.
He left Apple at the peak but was destined to return to Apple, when they took over his new venture NeXT.
The US President Barack Obama, while paying homage to Steve Jobs, has said that in the death of Steve Jobs, the world has lost one of the leading innovators.
We can unanimously agree on the credentials of Steve Jobs, in receiving these posthumous encomiums from high places.
Here is a man who had started from scratch, painstakingly built his career brick by brick and reached the pinnacle of not only wealth but innovation and recognition.
As Bill Gates has said it is a rare honor for all those who had the great opportunity to have worked with him. He has shown us the way.
Let us move forward! Let us follow the Path!

Full Review of Samsung Nexus S Mobile Phone

The new Nexus S is the latest smart phone from Samsung which ships with the brand new Google Android 2.3 operating system (also known as "Gingerbread"). Shortly after the launch, the Samsung Nexus S has become a major attraction amongst mobile phone users worldwide and has grabbed a lot of headlines and awards.
The Samsung Nexus S handset is loosely based on the fantastic Samsung Galaxy S mobile phone which has been one of the most successful mobiles in history. The Nexus S is a worthy successor to the Galaxy S and is the most powerful Android device from Samsung to date. Featuring a host of useful and cutting edge technologies such as a superb 4 inch Super AMOLED (Active-matrix organic light-emitting diode) touch screen with a unique curved design to allow comfortable use, multi-touch input, accelerometer sensor for auto rotation of user interface, proximity sensor for auto turn off, 3G, EDGE (Enhanced Data GSM Environment) and GPRS (General packet radio service).
The Samsung Nexus S uses a 1GHz processor with a dedicated GPU to ensure fast and fluid gaming, video streaming and internet browsing. The large 4 inch display is bright (even in direct sunlight - unlike many competing mobile phones), and displays crisp and clear graphics and video. The 1GHz "Hummingbird" processor offers multitasking which allows seamless display of multimedia web content and a fantastic gaming experience. This latest incarnation of the Google operating system "Android" software not only offers multi-tasking but includes an enhanced power management facility, new audio APIs, support for video calling, VoIP support, and Google TV supporting screen resolution sizes of up to 1366 x 768 pixels.
An excellent 5 megapixel camera with resolution up to 2560 x 1920 pixels with autofocus, LED flash and Geo-tagging makes it easy to take and share both high quality photographs and high definition videos via the accessible social networking widgets for popular web sites such as Facebook, Twitter, You Tube and Flickr.
One of the most high-tech features of the Samsung Nexus S is the integrated NFC Chip (near field communication) chip, this chip lets you use the phone to read digital tags that are already found in consumer goods such as T-Shirts and electronics. NFC technology is already popular in Japan, but yet to launch in the UK, however, when fully integrated the NFC chip will enable you to use the Nexus S almost like a credit card to purchase items from stores!
This fantastic mobile phone is now available in the UK from all four major networks (O2, Orange, Vodafone and T mobile) on a number of competitive mobile phone contract deals.

iPhone 4S: Apple Incredible

The Apple iPhone 4S was launched Tuesday, October 4, 2011 and has the dual-core A5 chip which delivers much more power. The iPhone 4S is going to be for sale in black and white. The upgraded camera alone might be worth an iPhone 4S upgrade for a few, but Siri will be the killer feature that has the potential to change the way we interact with our devices.
While iPhone 4S is the 5th generation iPhone, it's only the 3rd major casing design in the product's history. Apple iPhone 4s will be the latest phone from Apple. Apple is rolling out the iPhone 4S gradually, although not as gradually as it did earlier models. The A5 chip will make graphics seven times speedier and deliver twice the processing power. Apple definitely borrowed heavily from Android notifications, and then expanded on what they could do. Apple today is among the world's most profitable companies, as the stock price continues to prove.
The upgraded camera alone might be worth an iPhone 4S upgrade for some, but Siri will be the killer feature which has the possibility to change the way we interact with our devices. Schiller emphasized the iPhone 4S's virtual shutter speed. The iPhone 4S can take its first picture in 1 second. The new and improved camera promises crisper, brighter pictures, thanks to the 8-megapixel sensor. Features like better white balance, faster photo capture, and less shaky video recording courtesy of the "video stabilization" feature.
Siri? That appears to be the most incredible thing I'll use. Siri is a personal assistant for the iPhone 4S that goes past responding to simple commands. Siri is unique in the fact that you are able to ask it familiar, natural language questions like "show me movie theaters in the area" and it will return a real, readable answer and a list sorted by proximity. Siri can do a huge number of things, from sending texts and emails to finding restaurants and obtaining directions from one place to another - things that could largely be done before by voice on other devices and platforms, but now you can do it from the palm of your hand.
iPhone 4S
iPhone 4S is going to be Apple's remedy to Android's increasing domination of the mid-end and low-end cost ranges. Although the iPhone 4S sports a quicker processor and an upgraded camera, and the feature that everyone will be discussing is Siri. The iPhone 4S will be available in both black and white.

The Top Ten Best Champions League Finals Ever

Over the years the UEFA Champions League has captured the attention of the world, and the eagerly anticipated finals have caused both endless joy and agonising heartache for millions of football fans. With the UK gearing up to host a record 6th final at Wembley Stadium, let's take a trip down memory lane and look at the 10 best Champions League finals ever:
1. Liverpool 3: AC Milan 3 (3:2 penalties)
2005
This epic battle in Istabul's stadium was the undisputed greatest final in recent Champions League history. AC Milan managed to get an early 3-0 lead, but the second half saw Liverpool score 3 goals within 15 minutes to force the final to extra time and eventually penalties.
2. Real Madrid 7: Frankfurt 3
1960
This final is considered to be one of the greatest football matches of all time and saw two Real Madrid players achieve hat tricks to win the club's fifth Cup title in a row, a record yet to be broken.
3. Real Madrid 2: 1 Bayer Leverkusen
2002
Real Madrid's 9th European title came in Glasgow, as Zinedine Zidane and Roberto Carlos teamed together to produce one of the greatest goals in history to take the lead against Bayer Leverkusen.
4. Manchester United 2: Bayern Munich 1
1999
The first-ever English treble was achieved by one of the greatest comebacks in football ever. In extra time, David Beckham twice managed to coax the ball from his adidas football boots into perfect placement for strikers Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjær to score.
5. Porto 2: Bayern Munich 1
1987
Porto battled for 90 minutes to prevent Bayern Munich from clinching their fourth title, and took it home themselves for the first time. Both goals came late in the game; Rabah Madjer scoring in the 78th minute and Juary sealing the deal 2 minutes later.
6. Porto 3: Monaco 0
2004
Both Monaco and Porto entered the final as underdogs, and it was the first time that a well-known Italian, English or Spanish club didn't win. Porto's win cemented Jose Mourinho's reputation as 'The Special One.'
7. Benfica 5: Real Madrid 3
1962
The first time Real Madrid lost the Cup Final was to defending champions Benefica. In a thrilling 5-3 match, with the Portuguese attackers broke down the Spanish defense in the second half.
8. Celtic 2: Inter Milan 1
1967
The Scottish boys deserve a place on this list, with Celtic becoming the first British champions 1 year before Man U, with an incredible 2-1 victory in Lisbon against Inter Milan. Winning both the Scottish Football league and Scottish Cup in the same season, they also became the first European club to complete the treble.
9. Manchester United 4: Benfica 1
1968
Manchester United were the first English club to win the Cup title, beating Portuguese side Benfica with 3 goals in extra time at Wembley. With Bobby Charlton putting his team up 1-0 in the 53rd minute, he again scored in the first 10 minutes of extra time, with George Best and Brian Kidd also putting one each in the back of the net.
10. Marseille: 1 AC Milan 0
1993
The first year of the current Champions League format, 1993 saw only the first (and last) French team to win the title. In a match against AC Milan, Marseille managed to slip in the only goal at the 44th minute.
