  • iPad Pro Leak, Maybe October Release?

    iPad Pro Leak, Maybe October Release?

    Apple will send out invitations to the press in the next few days for its October 2018 event. Its an event that is highly expected but completely classified. We are all waiting on some new iPad pros. It’s unclear how soon the new iPad Pro models will be released, Im hoping a launch could still take place before the end of the month. Apple, the Trillion Dollar Machine, Isn’t done with its product launches just yet for the year. The release of the third next-generation iPhone model of 2018 is obviously still in front of us, with iPhone XR pre-orders set to open next week ahead of an October 26th release. But there are several new Apple products that will be released this year that haven’t even been announced yet. Plus we have a new iPad Pro leak

    The Leak of the iPad Pro Cad Images

    Today we got a leak preview of the new iPad pros. Let’s poor over them and dissect every minute detail shall we? The image below is by a user named “Leakspinner” to slashleask, who has a decent track record with accuracy. It allegedly shows 3D CAD files from a factory in China that detail the next-generation iPad Pro’s design and dimensions.

     

    The leaked photos also show new display dimensions, which shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. Like Apple’s new iPhones, the 2018 iPad Pro have no home button, making room for more screen. According to these leaked images, the smaller iPad Pro will sport an 11-inch display, up from 10.5 inches on last year’s model. The larger iPad Pro is listed as having a 13-inch screen, which would be a marginal increase from 12.9 inches on the current model. Both iPads appear to be less than 6mm thick.

    What is worth noting is that there is no notch, so there will likely be some bezel to accommodate the front facing camera lens. I wouldn’t expect the iPads to have a notch as there Is no need for the proximity sensor or phone speaker. However, there is a very useful and much needed front facing camera that will have to be crammed in there.

    The Final Thought

    There are still a lot of details to come and ill keep you abreast of any changes. Still waiting on the invites too….

  • Samsungs Galaxy F, the Foldable Smartphone

    Samsungs Galaxy F, the Foldable Smartphone

    WE have talked about it before and Samsung has been threatening to  formally announce and commercially release the world’s first foldable smartphone for some time now. A lot  setbacks as well as numerous design revisions and production delays caused by various technical challenges, have delayed this. So long has it been delayed that  everyone from Huawei to Lenovo, LG, Oppo, Xiaomi, and even Motorola is suddenly in this race.

     

    Galaxy F Foldable Smartphone

    Now Samsung has yet to give up its  ground breaking and leading innovation headway. The latest plan calls for a introduction and short public demo as early as next month, Regardless of logistical issues, and a release next year. This isn’t just another cool feature. This is the next evolution, this is as legendary as the smartphone release. We have only had updates and upgrades to apples design for 11 years. Yeah we have come a long way since the first iPhone and release of the first android. This announcement from Samsung will usher In the next decade.

     

    Get excited! Just after the  Galaxy A9 announcement event, Samsung Mobile President DJ Koh clarified the details of the company’s next gen  flexible device, stating it “has to be really meaningful to our customer.” And  “disappear six or nine months after it’s delivered”, aiming to create new and compelling use cases, such as seamlessly switching from a tablet mode with advanced multitasking capability to a more portable phone.

     

    We don’t know yet what the mock ups, or how the construction will be strong enough to withstand constant fold-ing motions. Samsung sounds pretty confident that’s ultimately going to be very durable. They promising global availability this time, which is bold. Considering the light footed limited run of a similarly experimental but far less risky Galaxy initial release.

     

    The Final Thought

    This isn’t just what is next, its not a flash in the pan feature. This is the future, all of it. The light flexible glass will get integrated in to everything, everywhere. Next years “Galaxy F ” foldable smartphone will just be the start. As long and Samsung can get it together

  • Amazon Echo Auto, Alexa in the Car

    Amazon Echo Auto, Alexa in the Car

    Last week Amazon announces a slew of new and updated products. One in particular caught my eye. Its called the Amazon Echo Auto. This device gives your car the smart AI assistant you are already using at your home. Already you are thinking, how does this work and why would i need it. Hang on baby birds, ill feed ya.

     

    How it Works

    It is wireless voice controls. It works just like you think it would. A simple plug in to your car and boom you are interactive. 2 easy, simple steps. Plus the Echo Auto in to your dash via the cigarette lighter port. Download the alexa app. Done.

    What Does it Do?

    SO what can Echo Auto do? It will Connect to Alexa using your phone, is ready in seconds, and plays through your car speakers. Includes Echo Auto Dash Mount. It has eight microphones and far-field technology. This means Echo Auto can hear you over music, A/C, and road noise. It will let you use your voice to play music, check the news, open the garage door, find the nearest gas station. Echo Auto gives you control to play Audible books, stream podcasts, or listen to Amazon Music, Spotify, Sirius XM, or NPR. You can eve Make calls, set reminders, add items to your shopping and to-do lists, or manage your calendar.The feature and function I like the most is the ability to set location-based routines. I can use the automated actions Alexa can start when I leave the office or get home. GPS capacities? She has them. Get directions and Alexa connects to supported apps like Google Maps, Apple Maps, or Waze on your phone.

     

    The Final Thought

    Tt works better then any car bluetooth voice system I have ever seen. It is magnificent to actually control my phone while driving. Much more then I ever thought it could be. I have had voice control options before, all the way to siri, but none worked with the AC on, let alone anything else. This is the solution to the problem you didn’t realize was a big as you will find out.

  • Finally the Razer 2

    Finally the Razer 2

    I’ve been waiting for this news for a while. I kept asking when is Razer going to make a move for a new phone. Well Things are heating up in the Android market. We have seen the Note 9 and Pixel 3 release this month. There were very few surprises in store for the Pixel 3, which is now Google’s most expensive phone ever. Lack luster release to say the least. Starting at $799 there are better options. For instance, you could buy the Razer Phone 2 instead, Razer’s brand new gaming phone. We knew the new Razer Phone was coming. Razer announced this a few weeks ago when it stated the original gaming phone was a tremendous revenue generator. Why is this a better choice than the Pixel 3? Let me tell you folks if you want to ratchet up specs and a screen that’s unlike anything available on smartphones stay tuned and check out the Razer 2.

    For starters the Razer 2 is the 5.72-inch IGZO LCD with 2560 x 1440 resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, wide color gamut, UltraMotion technology and Corning Gorilla Glass 5. Unlike everything else this month, no notch. The Razer 2 is featuring top and bottom bezels. Camera? We have two 12-megapixel cameras, including a telephoto lens and a wide-angle lens with optical image stabilization. On the front, there’s an 8-megapixel selfie taker.

    The Power

    How is the power on the Razer 2? Look inside and you will see the Snapdragon 845 is popped in the Razer Phone 2, so plenty to spare. Also you get twice the memory — the phone has 8GB of RAM compared to 4GB for the Pixel. Lastly it features a Vapor Chamber cooling system. The base model comes with 64GB of UFS storage and does feature support for microSD storage expansion.

     

    The Final Razer 2 Thought

    It is bad to the bone and the top android phone on the market. It is also a better price then its competitors at $799. The phone will be available in two shades of black, including Mirror Black and Satin Black, and it will ship in the fourth quarter in the US, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, with preorders set for October 11th. The Pixel 3, meanwhile, will reach buyers on October 17th.

  • Best Recruitment Software 2018

    Best Recruitment Software 2018

    An applicant tracking system (ATS) is a software application that enables the electronic handling of recruitment needs. An ATS can be implemented or accessed online on an enterprise or small business level, depending on the needs of the company and there is also free and open source ATS software available. 

    When you apply for a job online, your resume isn’t typically going directly to a recruiter or hiring manager. It’s first being processed by an ATS. Whether that human recruiter ever sees your resume could depend on how well your resume is optimized for ATS algorithms.

    Why employers use applicant tracking systems

    Top employers hire for several jobs at a time and receive hundreds of resumes for any given opening. Because applying for a job online is easier than ever, many of these applicants are unqualified and figured “it was worth a try.”

    Applicant tracking systems keep all these resumes in one place, helping recruiters and hiring managers stay organized as well as EEOC compliant. In theory, these systems also save time by automatically surfacing and highlighting top candidates. In reality, ATS do help hiring professionals narrow their applicant pool, but top candidates slip through the cracks.

    Most large corporations utilize applicant tracking systems. Jobscan research found that 98% of Fortune 500 companies use ATS while a Kelly OCG survey estimated 66% of large companies and 35% of small organizations rely on recruitment software. If you’re applying to a large organization, chances are you’ll face an ATS. If you’re applying through any online form, you’re applying through an ATS. Even job sites like Indeed and LinkedIn have their own built in ATS.

    Viewing Applications

    Some recruiters still choose to glance at every job application that comes through their applicant tracking system. In this case, most take a quick glance at the applicant’s past highlights, job titles, and companies. They can make a determination about whether they want to learn more in about 6 seconds. It’s important to make sure your top skills and qualifications are easily identifiable.

    Automatic Rankings

    Some applicant tracking systems can automatically compare your resume to the job description. For example, Taleo calls this feature “Req Rank,” which ranks each applicant based on how well their resume scores based on the job description. A common way recruiters filter resumes in an applicant tracking system is by searching for key skills and titles. For example, if a recruiter is hiring for an Administrative Assistant position out of 400 resumes, their first step will probably be a search for “Administrative Assistant.” This will isolate candidates that have done the exact job before. Anyone that doesn’t have that exact term in their resume is out of luck. A search can contain multiple terms. For example, they might perform a complex search that contains a combination of titles and skills important for the job:

    Administrative Assistant AND data entry AND payroll …

    Candidates who can predict the correct resume keywords will have the greatest chance of being included in recruiter search results. The best way figure out which skills and keywords to include is by analyzing the job description. Jobs can automates this process by analyzing your resume against the job description to show the top skills and keywords missing from your resume.

  • Google Pixel 3 Leaks

    Google Pixel 3 Leaks

    Google will hold an event on Tuesday, October 9th, starting at 11AM ET. This will be to unveil the Google Pixel 3. This is the latest and 3 incarnation of googles flagship smartphone. The last 2 have been impressive and the 3 is looking to follow suit. Lets take a loot at what we know already. Lets sort through all the Google Pixel 3 Leaks

    The Google Pixel 3 is not much of a mystery. It  has been plagued with Google Pixel 3 Leaks info. In the lead up its launch everyone is showing off the screen, colors, wireless charging capabilities, cameras, and more.  The Pixel 3 XL  has a 6.3-inch screen, 128GB of storage space.The Google Pixel 3 has some impressive and unique  gestures. The specs line up with a disappointing expectations: it uses Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845 chipset, only has 4GB of RAM and a 3,732mAh battery. Pretty standard, and standard for the Google Pixel 3 is a tremendous waste.

    The phone’s cameras info has leaked and looks equally uninspiring. We are hearing it has a 12.2-megapixel main camera, as well as a pair of 8-megapixel front-facing cameras, which allows it to take extra-wide shots.The primary camera is said to be capable of recording 4K videos at 30fps while the front is ‘limited’ to 1080p. Again I find this uninspired. Various images of the Google Pixel 3 XL corroborating previous leaks reveal a notch-style display. The device could be seen featuring minimal bezels on the front-fascia with a slightly thick chin at the bottom. From the backside, the Google Pixel 3 XL seems to carry similar design cue to that of the Google Pixel 2 XL with a mix of glass, aluminium and a circular-shaped fingerprint sensor at the center.

     

    The Final Google Pixel 3 Leaks Thought

    tiple leaks and reviews say the retail box suggest that the phone bundle a few accessories that include a USB-C dongle, a pair of USB-C earphones, USB-C to USB-C cable, a USB-C to USB-A dongle and an 18W USB-C two-pin power adapter. You are probably asking yourself how all this info got leaked, so we have so much details. Well apparently a Honk Kong Retailer is already selling the Google Pixel 3.

    If you still care to follow Google will hold its Pixel 3 event on October 9 at 11am ET. Besides the new Pixel 3 series, the Mountain View company is expected to unveil a “Home Hub,” a new Chromecast and a Chrome OS tablet or the Pixel Slate as it is being called at the event.

     

  • Facebook Clone Hoax, Did You Fall For It?

    Facebook Clone Hoax, Did You Fall For It?

    Facebook Clone Hoax Alert. So you got a message that said something like this on Facebook this weekend?

    “Heads-up!! Almost every account is being cloned. Your picture and your name are used to create a new face book account (they don’t need your password to do this). They want your friends to add them to their Facebook account. Your friends will think that it’s you and accept your request. From that point on they can write what they want under your name. I have NO plans to open a new account. Please DO NOT accept a 2nd friend request from ‘me’. please forward to all your contacts.” Its a Facebook clone hoax.

     

    The Great Facebook Clone Hoax

    Calm Down. You have not been hacked. say it back with me. You have not been hacked. The friend that sent you this, while gullible, has not been hacked.Don’t forward it. This is a text book classic Facebook clone hoax That message is fake.“It’s bogus. And you’re just making it worse,” the Plaquemines Parish Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness said in a Facebook post.This is just a well timed Chain letter. Their is no threat to your Facebook.

    Facebook says there has been no known uptick in cloned accounts this week, when the messages started circulating. Facebook keeps an eye on trends and anomalies as part of their cyber security. Massive amounts of Clones, different from hacks, means a spammer created a new account under your name, using your pictures and requesting your friends. They would see the large duplication of accounts and stop this before it affects the masses. It is also easy to check for a cloned account. just search your name and see if there is more then one account with you name and a picture of you.

    This well time hoax comes as news Facebook had a massive and malicious date breach. This is still a developing story and the details are still to marking to actually report on. However this is potentially world altering situation and needs to be monitored. In the mean time, change your password. Said it before, the Apocalypse will start on Facebook.

     

  • Alienware M15, The Lightest and Thinnest Yet

    Alienware M15, The Lightest and Thinnest Yet

    Big,big news out of Dell today. Or should I say small, thin news? Alienware has announced its new m15 gaming laptop. Dell’s gaming computer division is blowing away the bigger competition by building its thinnest and lightest 15-inch laptop yet.Alienware M15, lets see what we got.

    The Design Changes

    The Design, let’s talk about it. The Alienware M15 is Different from what Alienware has been doing. It is completely visible when you compare them side by side. The new m15 offers slimmer bezels, a reduced footprint, and it looks so sleek, and so choice. The new m15 measures in at 4.76 pounds and 0.83 inches thick. If you are keeping eyes out on the competition that’s smaller than the Razr. Alienware has gone on record saying the m15 is the thinnest laptop it’s ever made. They are comparing it against the old 13-inch model, which weighs 5.8 pounds and is 14 percent thicker than the m15.

    WE also have a new keyboard remodel to a chiclet design. If you are concerned, yes it is still backlit. It host in a full number pad and trackpad into a more modern combined pad. All the plug and ports are here. The M15 is rocking three USB ports, one USB-C Thunderbolt 3 port, HDMI and Mini DisplayPorts, Ethernet, and Alienware’s proprietary Graphics Amplifier plug.

    Specs

    The Specs are just what you need, want and would expect. Not overloaded but just right. With a thinner, Nvidia Max-Q design that trades some performance for portability, 8th Gen Intel processors, up to 32GB of RAM, and plenty of different storage options. You get the options between a 60Hz FHD display, a 144Hz FHD panel designed for gaming, and a 60Hz UHD display that offers better resolution.

    The Final Alienware M15 Thought

    If a $3000, 15 inch gaming laptop is your market… Look no further than the Alienware M15. It seems like an oddly specific, small niche market. This isnt a ground breaking release or discovery. Just another update to a long line of great, reliable and powerful gaming laptops.
