Apps That Are Dangerous & Your Kid Might Be Using


Kids get fascinated very rapidly by the latest technology, and that means they might be using several apps that you don't want them to use without your concern. Let's have a glimpse on such dangerous apps that you child can use.



Snapchat



Snapchat is a picture-messaging app whose claim to fame is that the messages last only for a few seconds once they're opened, then supposedly evaporate into thin air. In theory, you can send embarrassing or risque pictures without being afraid someone will steal or distribute them.

Tinder


While Snapchat has uses besides sharing inappropriate images, Tinder is all about meeting new romantic partners, which probably isn't something you want your teen doing with strangers.

If two people like each other, they can have a conversation through the app and potentially "hook up." Again, broadcasting images to strangers and potentially meeting them on a whim is not something teens should be doing, in my parental opinion.

Vine


Vine, which lets you record and share six-second videos, seems like a totally safe app at first. It gets dangerous when you consider how strong peer pressure is on social media.

Teens, as I'm sure you remember, will do almost anything for acceptance and attention. And the best way to get attention on social media is to do something edgy or crazy.

Whisper


Whisper, an app built specifically for spreading rumors and secrets, lets users post pictures and text anonymously. Apps like Whisper could potentially be a good outlet for teens, as anonymous confessions can help people unburden themselves.

But Whisper shares the secrets based on geographic location, so the users nearest to your child are the ones more likely to see the secret.

9Gag



9Gag is one of the most popular apps for distributing memes and pictures online. The risky part for teens is that all kinds of pictures are shared on 9Gag. These pictures aren't moderated and could come from any uploader and feature terrible images you don't want kids seeing.

5 Amazing iPhone Tricks that You Never Knew


An iPhone is amazing device with plenty of features that we still don't know even after using it for years. So, here we've picked some of the best hidden features to show you to achieve things easier and faster.

 

1. iPhone Keyboard Trick



It's been much easier to add symbols to your messages than you have thought earlier. Simply press and hold the 123 key and then slide your finger to the symbols that you want to insert and then again slide to ABC button. All the symbols will be added.

2. Other iPhone Keyboard Trick



This one's very simple, but it's time saver while you're chatting with someone. Instead of going to symbol to just type a full-stop, simply double type the space bar and it'll place a full-stop at the end, providing you to start with a new sentence.

3. Shake it to Undo



This is also a time saver sometimes, as if you have typed a long sentence and accidentally it has been deleted, then rather typing the whole sentence again, simple shake your iPhone to get undo or redo options. Take care of your iPhone before shaking it.

4. Stop Playing Music Using a Timer



This one is a really nice trick for those who fall asleep while listening music. The music goes on for the whole night, and when you wake-up, you'll find your whole battery drained-up. You can simple set the timer to stop the music whenever you want.

It's quite easy to set the timer, just go to clock app, and in the bottom right tap 'Timer'. Now you can set your time, for how long you want the music to go on, then tap 'When Timer Ends'. Now move down to the bottom and select 'Stop Playing', and press start on the browser and begin listening your music.

5. Your iPhone's Flash will Blink on Every Incoming Message



This trick is really a handy one. You can just put your Flash on whenever there's a message alert. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility, scroll down to the hearing section and turn on the 'LED Flash for Alerts'. This feature is specially designed for hearing impaired people.

Pretty Amazing Hololens Will Take A Few Years


Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates held a Reddit AMA today, and, as you could have probably guessed, someone asked him about the company's recently announced HoloLens technology. Gates' verdict? He's excited, but says it might be a few years before we see the true potential of the technology.


"The HoLolens is pretty amazing," Gates said. "Microsoft has put a lot into the chips and the software. It is the start of virtual reality. Making the device so you don't get dizzy or nauseous is really hard--the speed of the alignment has to be super super fast. It will take a few years of software applications being built to realize the full promise of this."

For its part, Microsoft doesn't think HoloLens is like anything else out there. It doesn't compete directly with the likes of virtual reality headsets such as Oculus Rift or Project Morpheus because HoloLens is "something different," Microsoft says.

Someone else asked Gates what he thinks the next 30 years holds in terms of advancements to technology overall. Gates said he foresees lots of progress, including mechanical robots being used to pick fruit, among other things.

"There will be more progress in the next 30 years than ever," Gates said. "Even in the next 10 problems like vision and speech understanding and translation will be very good. Mechanical robot tasks like picking fruit or moving a hospital patient will be solved. Once computers/robots get to a level of capability where seeing and moving is easy for them then they will be used very extensively."

The full AMA is a fascinating read. Though Gates doesn't answer questions about Xbox or gaming directly, he does talk about his various humanitarian efforts, his dogs, and machine super-intelligence, among many other topics. You can read the full post here.

Apple Watch is On The Verge To Get Launch


Apple's banking on its Apple Watch to be a success but component issues may plague the launch, expected in March, according to an analyst.


Apple has so far been vague about the exact release date for the Watch, only describing it as "early 2015," pointing to a launch in February or March. Rumors have suggested the the smartwatch's battery life will be comparable to other devices in the category and require nightly charging.

Apple's' devices generally sell out upon release and it seems Apple Watch will be no different but Kuo said that component issues may cause supply problems for the watch. He expects Apple will sell 2.8 million Watches in March, and sell a total of five million devices in the first quarter of 2015.


The Apple Watch will come in three variants, each expected to differ in price point. The standard Watch will come in stainless steel, with the Apple Watch Sport in silver or space grey aluminum and the luxury Watch Edition will be available in rose or yellow 18 carat gold .

"Apple Watch is right there on your wrist, so it makes all the ways you’re used to communicating more convenient. And because it touches your skin, we were able to add a physical dimension to alerts and notifications – you’ll feel a gentle tap when you receive an incoming message,” Apple says of its 'most personal' device.

Apple Watch is on the Brink to Launch




Apple Watch also allows you to connect with your favorite people in some new, spontaneous ways not possible with any other device.”

Apple's List of 2015: iPhone 7, Apple Watch, iPad Pro & More


For Apple, 2015 is going to be huge and there are some probable speculations of several products that can be the highlight of the year. Take a glimpse of the products, that Apple may unveil this year.

Apple Watch


 
Apple Watch is definitely going to get released this year, as the company has already announced it. This is going to be the first smartwatch by Apple, and it's most likely to launch in mid spring. Health related apps can be the main focus of this watch.

iPhone 7



Although it is a long time until Apple will officially confirm the release of the next generation iPhone, such a device release is absolutely inevitable. The iPhone 6 was another massive success for Apple, indicating that the momentum generated by the world’s most successful smartphone has yet to halt significantly.

iPhone 6s



There has been absolutely no word from the Cupertino-based Company on this persistent Internet gossip, but it would be logical for Apple to release an affordable smartphone for the budget and East Asian marketplace in particular.

iPad Pro



The iPad was a massive success when Apple originally released it, and although the tablet market has slowed since then, last year saw Apple significantly refresh its tablet range, breathing new life into the iPad.

iPad Air & iPad Mini



These two more consumer-focused devices will also probably see the light of day in 2015, as Apple looks to improve his entire iPad range. It is unlikely that Apple will redesign these industry-leading tablets to a great extent, and the focus will probably on upgrading its capabilities and internal components.

iOS 9




There are already reports that Apple’s next operating system for mobiles will be ready in due course, and iOS 9 is being linked with the next iPhone release in September. Functionality in this latest version of the critically acclaimed operating system will likely focus on mobile payment and Apple Watch functionality in particular.

12-Inch MacBook



There are already reports that Apple’s next operating system for mobiles will be ready in due course, and IOS 9 is being linked with the next iPhone release in September. Functionality in this latest version of the critically acclaimed operating system will likely focus on mobile payment and Apple Watch functionality in particular.

Apple TV



Apple TV has been somewhat neglected in recent years, which is perhaps not surprising given that it has always been a minor product for Apple, with massive sellers such as the iPhone driving the company forwards both creatively and economically.
