ARE YOUR EYES SAFE?

Now a days we get smartphones with the best displays out there like apple's retina, samsung's AMOLED and so on. These displays have been challenged on visibility outdoor and for that competition they are doing really a great job. There are different types of screens like TFT, LCD & LED or AMOLED. All of these are really doing great in the recent times. With all the viewing angles and color complexion and vividness being so great depending on the technology the manufacturer uses to make it better, but there is one problem that everyone faces when it comes to night time use. I use my phone during the night times or when i hit the bed. The worst part is that when i just power up my phone's display the brightness from the screen really pokes my eyes. I know this happens to not just me but for everyone who uses their phones at night time. There where applications like the UC-Browser when i use to use my nokia X-6 and it had something called night theme and it could bring down the screen brightness of the phone even below the minimum the manufacturer has set or may be the color theme that were used would have made it appear so dim. It was so pleasant for my eyes and It was more comfortable to read. This kinda cool and awesome feature was bound only to the application itself and wasn't available for such a control all over the phone's display.The absence of such a feature that can be used in every application caused my eye sight to go poor as i continued to use the Galaxy s2 and now my s4 at night times. Its needless to say that the minimum brightness from the screen is bright enough to poke one's eyes during night reading in a complete dark condition. I realized that i can't let my eye site get worst and then is when i remembered the night theme i use to use in the UC-browser. I went to the play store and searched for NIGHT MODE and there it was!.


This application on what i saw thought i could give it a try and installed it right away on my galaxy s2 and the application wasn't even hardly a MB. Not only do you get to set your brightness level but also you get additional setting to make it more comfortable for your eyes. Frankly i never played with those additional setting as i preferred to use with the default ones. Check how bright my screen looks under normal condition.


Now i get into the application and all i had to do was to hit the start button and before that i would ask you to set the brightness to your desired level and here for me 50% is what pleases my eyes. I got into the application and this is how it looks before i start the night mode.


Now you see a start button there don't you? just adjust your brightness level and hit the start button and see the magic happen.


Its brilliant and amazing. Now not only don't i need to check in apps that if they have a night theme but i just needn't even worry about turning on my phone in the night to check all i want to without shrinking my eyes to reduce the poke. This works every where you go cos its has the capacity to reduce the brightness on your phone or table's screens no matter of what kind of screen it is. It reduces to something more minimum than that of the brightness that the respected manufacturers limit. It just works everywhere.


This is how the same home screen looks when i turn the night mode on. This is really amazing to use. You can stop this anytime by just switching back to the night mode app and just tap the stop button. This will not damage any of your hardware. I can promise you that its gonna work just fine. I have been using this for the past few months to confirm on it and it works. give it a try and share this article if you like it.

THIS APP IS ANDROID EXCLUSIVE.

Yahoo axis browser

Talking abt the axis browser on the desktop as said in the site it just acts as a visual search engine and with book mark options. The pages apper in tiles by giving a projection of images in them of how the site would look. This was a smart move by yahoo i would say as this plug in can be plugged into any bwoser on the desktops and notebooks. So that's catchy but there are some problems i would like to mention about.

1. When on another serach engine this doesnt load (when i open my chrome, google is my home page and from there it doesnt work)

2. For a deep search its a little time consuming to keep passing on to tiles as we are not able to get the time or date of post like we get on bing or google. Thus tough to know whick one is the latest posted

3. Personally am not so moved over by this axis plugin rather they could have made this a  seperate browser that could have been from seeing what yahoo axis could offer over this plug-in.

4. No talks about the availability for android is really bad as that's one of the most used operating system world wide

5. This plug-in appears to the left bottom of the page and when tapped grows full length and when we start typing raises up to show the visual search. But the problem is as i mentioned abt the not working part where google was open and so i opened another site and till that site got completely loaded this axis plugin didnt surface. I haven't tried on a blank page.

But there are advantages too

1. There is a top trending button right below the search bar that might help the users to get most of the times what they need whick is a good feature on the topic we search

2. Even with the axis we can login to keep our package safe, i must say thats really good for a plug in, sometimes when we find some other browser better than what we use and we like this axis we can import all we had on the other browser's plugin just by a sign-in like importing bookmarks and all we got in it like how we do with google chrome signing-into chrome using gmail to save and sync all bookmarks and imortant stuff with the mail id is real cool

3. Its predective loading feature so like from 18v of the chrom really does a good job giving quicker and better choice to search up on

Verdict: for me i would have preffered a browser over just a plug in. Its good but no so impressive on a browser. Its fun for while but i find google better over the search engines. For a change axis is really awesome.

Apple releases patch for Flashback virus


Apple on Thursday released an identification and removal tool for the most widespread virus ever to hit its computers.
The Java security update removes the most common variants of the Flashback malware, which was found to have infected some 600,000 Macs last week.
The malware, discovered last week by Russian security firm Dr Web, is designed to grab passwords and other information by posing as a legitimate browser plug-in at a malicious website. Once installed, the software sends personal information back to remote servers.
The Mac operating system was previously widely thought to be immune to the widespread security issues that have plagued Windows computers over the years.
Apple’s patch was rushed to users several days after independent security companies issued their own patches for the malware.
