Back with many improvements
As you all knew I was leaving on Thursday to go on a well deserved bre
ak to the download music festival. I returned late yesterday and did not post yesterday.
As I first logged in upon return I was notified that my WordPress installation was now out of date and I should upgrade to version 2.8. This as always posed a huge threat to the site as upgrade installs sometimes wipe out the entire site.
A full backup was then taken (having a much larger database than I expected) and then a manual upgrade took place. The upgrade went perfectly which is what I had wanted and I was able to go straight back to work on the site.
A new feature
The 2.8 upgrade also seemed, to me, to be the best possible time to finally make a mobile version of LM-BLOG.
New Android Phones
Google crank up the pressure with the launch of their latest android phone.
HTC has unveiled its Magic smartphone at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The handset is the first Android mobile phone to run on Vodafone's network, and is planned for a spring release.
Like T-Mobile's G1, the HTC Magic bucks typical design trends and is tablet-shaped. However, unlike the G1, it has no slide-out keyboard. HTC and Vodafone said that being based on Android will give the phone superior internet capabilities, as well as a platform engineered for personalisation and the use of feature-rich applications.
"Delivering an unbeatable mobile internet experience for our customers is a priority for Vodafone, so we are very excited to be introducing our first Android-powered smartphone in the spring," said Patrick Chomet, global director of terminals at Vodafone.
Midweek shares look impressive!!
Okay both GOOG and AAPL are looking very impresive on last weeks prices. As i hoped there has been a current rise.
However half way through todays market its looking like :
AAPL : $92.92 each
GOOG : $347.50 each
Hope this upward trend continues. I expect it will for Google as alot of wanted features are being added this week.
Apple are feeling a virus war coming this may worry shareholders. Into selling, hopefully not.
Apple Shares – Week 1 Update
With the Apple Macintosh turning 25 this week it was quite a big week for the company. I was not sure whether this was to be a good or bad factor, at the moment nothing is guaranteed to be good for any business.
Apple closed the market at $88.36 this week.
Meaning if I had not sold I would have made a profit.
Profit of $60.30 on 10 shares or
$6.03 on 1 share
Gealthy revenue claims from Apple should hopefully give us another up next week. However my guess (purely a guess) is we will finish next week at about the same as this week.
New phone features ‘baffle users’
The complexity of modern mobile phones is leaving users frustrated and angry, research suggests.
Some 61% of those interviewed in the UK and US said setting up a new handset is as challenging as moving bank accounts.
Compiled by mobile firm Mformation, the survey found 85% of users reporting they were frustrated by the difficulty of getting a new phone up and working.
Of the 4,000 people questioned, 95% said they would try more new services if phones were easier to set up.
Web browsing
Mformation spokesman Matthew Bancroft said users were frustrated by having to call an operator or look online for help.
"There is an enormous range of things modern phones are capable of doing but the paradox is that many people are not using these capabilities," he said.
Of those questioned, 95% said they would be more likely to use new features if the initial set-up were easier.
