What to Expect on the New Apple TV

November 3, 2015 By 901am

Apple may be famous for its computer and mobile gadgets but it has also created a major global impact when it launched its own television. Known as the Apple TV, the so-called hobby device looks very similar to the old model but bigger in size.

The latest Apple TV was formally launched last September but it was released to the market a month after. Now, it can be purchased via the company’s website and other retailers. It took two years for the renowned tech company to come up with a fourth-generation Apple TV after close competitors Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast and Roku launched their recent user-friendly devices.

Main Features

The new Apple TV has two versions – the 32GB model and the 64GB version. The one with the larger storage commands a higher price. The 32GB version, however, will be sufficient is you want to use the TV to stream videos, watch television shows, play music as well as install a few apps and play some games. However, those who plan to do a lot of downloading and use apps and games should consider the 64GB model.

Voice and touch control is one of the major features of this new TV platform. It boasts of a universal voice search capability featuring Siri and sensors that can detect motion as well as keep track of its moves. It comes with two microphones and a button to allow users to toggle on Siri. This makes it different from the third generation model which used an aluminum remote or remote app.

With Siri ever available, the new set-top box can respond to various requests made by the user specifically for the TV. By giving commands, Siri can search for a television show or movie and what’s more, it can search through many different sources. In addition, it can play or pause, rewind or fast forward, and skip back 15 seconds of whatever content you’re watching.

The fourth generation TV now features a new operating system called tvOS. It is linked to an app store that lets users download third party apps from top app development companies for use in video, audio, games and other content. Also, the operating system is based primarily on iOS 9 with its interface and APIs adjusted to support the big screen.

Apps Needed

During the product’s launching last September, Apple CEO Tim Cook noted the fact that many consumers are no longer using cable and broadcast TV. A growing number of them now prefer to use streaming services and interactive experiences.

As a solution to this issue, Cook said Apple is capable of improving this “broken” process of watching TV. Modernizing the experience through the use of apps is an important task of his company, he added.

The first Apple TV was released to the market in 2007. Since then, the device has undergone four updates with the latest model released last October.

The hobby device can be bought from both online and offline retailers including the Apple High Street store except from Amazon. Online retailer Amazon does not sell Apple, Google and other devices that are in competition with its own TV streamlining device.

On the other hand, 35 percent of those surveyed said they would be willing to use the apps if they were similar to those installed in their smartphones while 75 percent of them said they won’t mind paying for updates to an app. [Read more…]

Breakup Apps to Help You Move on from Your Ex

March 11, 2015 By Christopher Jan Benitez

Breakups suck – there’s no other way around it. The mental, emotional, and financial anguish are real, according to Los Angeles Divorce Lawyers Marina Korol and Rozanna M. Velen.

“The prospect of divorce invariably creates a wide range of emotions. Losing what once seemed to be a source of unconditional support is never easy,” says Korol. “It is compounded by the frustration of the seemingly hostile legal proceedings that you are left with in its place.”

But breakups are much more difficult to deal with nowadays compared to years back. With the widespread use of social media, the ghost of your ex will live on the images and posts that s/he has been tagged in. Not to mention, you can still him or her through the photos he’s tagged in by your friends, who also happens to be your ex’s friends.

And we’re not even going to detail the drunk calls and text you will probably make throughout their burgeoning process.

If you’re one of the heartbroken who want to move on but simply can’t, below are breakup apps for your mobile devices that will help you stand up once again, if not access your social media without any trace of your ex.

KillSwitch

KillSwitch App   Making breakups suck less

If you can’t access Facebook because all you will see are memories of your relationship that was, download and use this app. KillSwitch will let you identify your ex and remove status updates, images, videos, and wall posts that your ex is tagged in. The content won’t be deleted permanently – the app will save the files in a hidden folder on Facebook so you can restore them whenever you and your ex mend the fence or want to revisit your past relationship for laughs.

Part of the proceeds that KillSwitch receives will be donated to the American Heart Association.

Drunk Mode

Drunk Mode Mobile App

This app is specifically made for party animals who want to spend their evenings going to bars and getting wasted. Drunk Mode includes keeping track of your equally drunk friends and breadcrumbs that informs where you went last night and what time.

This handy app will also prevent you from making those late night, drunken calls or messages not only your ex but also other people through the Stop Drunk Dialing feature.

Breakup RX

Breakup RX

This app is developed by licensed therapist Jane Reardon, whose experience in treating young people who have had problems with coping up with their respective breakups.

“I was treating people in breakups more psychologically, and what I discovered was that they were too depressed to deal with that,” Reardon told The Daily Beast. “That’s why the focus of the app is really on empowerment and strengthening self, and liking yourself. Because when you’re in a breakup, the person who you like the most doesn’t like you anymore. So you don’t like you.”

The app is a 30 step program, with each step taken one a day. Each step is professionally crafted so that it covers all the aspects that prevent people from moving on after a break.

Breakup RX is still in development up until now. But if you see yourself nursing a broken heart anytime soon, check out the app if it’s available for download.

Final thoughts: These breakup apps are not be-all-end-all to help you move on. Nonetheless, these should be use to facilitate your progress and help you become your old, happy self again. Daphne Rose Kingma said it best: “Holding on is believing that there’s only a past; letting go is knowing that there’s a future.”
