Portrait iPhone 5 with 4 inch screen epic

A perfect solution if Apple wants to increase the size shown on the new iPhone.

Village smartphones are seeing widescreen trend, increasing from 4.7 inch 3.5 inch, 5.3 inch threshold even as Samsung Galaxy Note. However, before the iPhone screen is that (3.5 inch) and fans expect Apple to change iPhone 5.

So the iPhone screen size 5 how much is enough? I let them follow through on TheVerge article below.

A. The problem to be solved

Apple always brings new features and for its products, such iPhone first 2.5G network support to iPhone owners Siri 4S, 8MP camera Full HD 1080p video. Therefore, the iPhone 5 would be the appropriate investment that is most visible touch screen.

Nevertheless, a series of problems are arising, such as how to increase the width of the screen, but no team size significantly smartphone? How to hundreds of thousands of applications and games continue to work? And most importantly, how to help maintain quality of the iPhone 5 Retina display?

Two. The solution

The questions on expert Timothy Collins has been solved thoroughly. The idea promises to upgrade the Apple screen, does not affect the external factors and maintain high pixel density.

Remember that all the iPhone recognized the 3:2 ratio screen (so the iPhone 4 has a resolution of 960 x 640 pixels). Just change little, iPhone 5 may be common sizes 4 inch 9:5 ratio. This does not become cumbersome cricket - something Apple does not want at all.

Timothy's proposal is unchanged width of the iPhone screen (640 pixels horizontally and 1.94 inch). At the same time, the author up to 3:49 inch vertical, diagonal screen help reach 3.99 inches (rounded to 4 inches). As such, the iPhone screen size 5 has increased by 20%, satisfactory rate pixel nor do machines become coarse. You can observe the illustration below to see more clearly.
The analysis then shows you the iPhone 5 with 4 inch screen game processing, applications, images and videos that exist chili appropriately.
3. The main screen
As observed, increasing the number of pixels vertically than enough icon displays a row again. We just offer more flexible options for users, Apple has helped protect the views expressed "Home Screen" different rival Android or Windows Phone.

4. The application is available (Built-in apps)

No matter if presented to the default application on the iPhone with the screen ratio increased to 9:5. Basically, they're not much has changed, increasing the space is displayed as illustrated below.
Phone
messages
Safari Browser

5. Applications from the App Store

Focus on core issues, with hundreds of thousands of gadgets on the App Store, if the iPhone 5 does not take advantage of it would be a waste and even affecting Apple's throne dominates. Fortunately, most of us possess the same interface default application (title bar / navigation above, the tab bar / menu below), so the display does not encounter any big problems.
Twitter
Facebook
6. game

Unlike applications, games completely different fields by interface design diversity. Game but most of them support many different screen ratio (3:2 and 9:5 both) should be 4-inch screen iPhone 5 will benefit. In addition, developers must also eager to improve their products on new phones. In case of force majeure, iPhone 5 may display the old game with the extra black as shown.

7. video

Surprisingly, the conversion rate of 3:2 to 9:5 video makes iPhone more fully expressed. Cause by movies (like on YouTube) are usually designed in a 16:9 aspect ratio, if viewed on iPhone 4S poured in first, you will see two thick black bars 960 x 50 pixels.
When full-screen view, you have to sacrifice 640 x 89 pixels in both directions.
Building annexes to the 9:5 ratio, when normal, two black bars only 960 x 7 pixels.
If full-screen monitor, each pixel only missed 4 compared with 89 pixels as the original.

8. Conclusion

Clearly, there are several advantages to Apple iPhone screen diagonally up to $ 5 4 inch as Timothy suggests. This gives the Apple device is not inferior opponent in the array and keep the display size (at least horizontally) neat. That's not to mention the disturbance in array applications, games are not too great, even better video, too.

So Apple, baby why wait?

How Twitter accidentally fostered the universal presence

What are those? They're Twitter handles, of course; but I didn't need to tell you that. You already knew.

Twitter is in that elite circle of web brands — Facebook, Google, Amazon — that have legitimately "crossed over." Your parents, though they may not fully understand it, have certainly heard of it by now. The President of the United States uses it. Oprah uses it. It doesn't get any more mainstream than Oprah.

And along with mainstream success, the "@name" format has become inseparably intertwined with Twitter. It's like an email address or a URL: you don't need to specify what it is, you just need to list it. "Find me at @zpower," you understand what I'm saying. Amazingly, that's something that the $100 billion darling Facebook — with over six times as many active users — doesn't have. There's simply no Facebook equivalent to @zpower: I can tell you to "check me out on Facebook at [some URL]" or I can tell you to search for me by name on Facebook, at which point you may or may not find the correct Chris Ziegler. But there's no single-word handle format that's universally recognized as a link to a unique Facebook profile. (Google's giving it a go with the "+Chris Ziegler" styling, but it doesn't do you much good — you can't zip over to a Google+ profile by typing "plus.google.com/chrisziegler," and regardless, Google+ enjoys a mere shadow of Twitter's mojo.)

IT DOESN'T GET ANY MORE MAINSTREAM THAN OPRAH

Every day, recognition of the @name format grows among web-connected individuals, and that growth continues seemingly unbounded. It's unclear whether Twitter recognizes the power that it has the ability to wield with this. Of course, the company is just as focused on its core business — 140-character broadcasts — as ever, but it'd behoove Dick Costolo and his team to take a hard look at the potential they've fostered.

Last year I wrote an editorial, The universal status indicator, in which I bemoaned the internet's inability to rally around a standard for communicating presence and contact information. It got extraordinarily positive reaction — there's a real need here. And it turns out that Twitter is uniquely positioned to strike: it already has the universally-understood ID format under its belt. People have heard of it; you're not asking for the moon by starting at square one and requiring people to sign up for yet another service that won't be of any benefit without massive buy-in, the classic chicken-and-egg problem for online startups. And unlike every other service on the market — Facebook and IM services included — Twitter has tight integration with every mobile platform that matters. This is deeply critical; the hooks are already there in iOS, Android, and even Windows Phone.

TWITTER, YOU'RE SITTING ON MY BUSINESS CARD

What remains for Twitter is the easiest part: add some fields to its spartan user profile pages and update its mobile applications to take advantage of the richer back end. Allow users to specify whether they're available, how they can be reached, and who should be able to see what information. When a phone number or email address changes, make sure the mobile apps pick up the change and offer to update users' address books.

Not everyone will support the concept of a single service becoming the clearinghouse for this type of information, but guess what? No one has stepped up to fill this gap in a meaningful, broadly-supported way, despite the enormous opportunity. (Go on, ask a non-techie friend or family member if they've heard of about.me.) And furthermore, it's not possible to develop something like this without massive, reliable, scalable database infrastructure to support it. That infrastructure doesn't grow on trees. Twitter's already there, and it's spent years taking its lumps (fail whale, anyone?) and learning lessons while it supports close to half a billion tweets a day.

Twitter: I never want to have to send out an email blast saying my phone number is changing again. You're sitting on my business card — it's @zpower. Please let me use it.

HP and Apple outperform the rest of the PC market in the US, according to Gartner's Q1 data

Research firm Gartner has just released its estimates of PC shipments in the US and worldwide for Q1 2012 — it points to strong growth for Apple and HP and major declines for Acer in the US. HP and Apple were the number one and number three vendors in the US; HP shipped 4.5 million PCs, up 6.6 percent, while Apple shipped 1.6 million computers for a 3.8 percent growth rate.This far outstripped the overall US market, which actually declined 3.5 percent year-over-year to 15.5 million units. We know all about Apple's recent strength in moving units, but it looks like HP may have made the right move in not spinning off its Personal Systems Group (at least from a market leadership position). It's worth noting that these numbers do not include "media tablets" like the iPad.

The big loser in the US was Acer, who saw shipments decline nearly 26 percent compared to Q1 2011; it didn't do well in the worldwide market either, with a 9.2 percent decline year-over-year. Overall, the worldwide computer market grew 1.9 percent to 89 million units, compared to the decline seen in US shipments. HP and Lenovo dominated the worldwide market in overall shipments, though HP only showed modest growth of 3.5 percent compared to Lenovo's 28 percent growth. While the overall market only grew slightly, it still beat Gartner's expectations of a 1.2 percent decline for the quarter. Despite the unexpected growth, Gartner's analysts noted that emerging markets like India and China didn't perform as well as expected, so PC makers shouldn't depend on them to grow rapidly despite low overall penetration.
