iOS 7VS Android 4.3

iOS 7 VS Android 4.3

iOS and android are the two best operating systems on the market when we are talking about mobile devices.so…. let’s compare them!:

Andoid’s UI is the most customizable in the market, so if you want a music widget on a page, just add it, every icon will change place in order to make space for the widget   to fit in, if you want a new look on your device just search the Google play store for a new launcher like Nova Launcher. The new 4.3 update brought us many changes being the main ones the TRIM support and restricted user profiles, which can be a good thing if you lend your tablet to a child or friend so you can restrict which apps the other user can see and use.

iOS 7  in the other hand is almost a complete UI change from iOS 6, but after all it’s iOS, an OS completely controlled by Apple, that’s not a bad thing, is just a diferent one so you can have widgets or change the themes but, if you want quick toggles, just pull up in any screen to bring up control center. iOS has one big, big, huge advantage in terms of safety and malware over android, each and every app In the store have to face very hard security tests by Apple. Even with the hard security apps have to face, Apple’s app store is still slightly bigger than Google’s store although the gap is closing up.

Smartphones  :
               
Android
iPhone
Chips
Qualcomm snapdragon 800 Quad Core
Apple A6 Dual Core
Max.Clockspeed
2,3GHz
1,3GHz
RAM
2Gb na altura deste post
1Gb
Screen
1920x1080 full HD
1336x640 Retina Display

The numbers look to give android an huge advantage but that’s no true and a very common error. Apple’s software uses every single MHz in the chip and its software is only used by apple devices so they haven’t go the need to be the highest spec ones. In Benchmark’s Android’s Hardware can double the score has the iPhone but in day-to-day terms the iPhone can beat many high spec android ones. 


Tablets:

Android
iPad with a Retina Display
Chips
 Chip
Qualcomm snapdragon 800   quad core
Apple A6X dual core + Quad-core GPU
Max. Clockspeed
2,3GHz
1,4GHz
RAM
2Gb (in the tie of this post)
1Gb
Screen
1920x1200 full HD
(2560x1600 Nexus 10)
2048x1536 Full HD retina Display

In tablets, the situation is different, just like on the iPhone the numbers may look lower but the tablet is faster, the iPad screen loses only against the nexus 10 but it is still the best tablet on the market due to its app store with about 275,000 applications optimized for tablet against only a few hundred on android. 

When it comes to software updates Apple beats android too. When a new version of ios is thrown, all devices that this update is intended for, worldwide can be updated the minute the updatte is thrown regardless of carrier or country. As for the android ... the story is very different. Nexus devices receive the update directly from Google so are updated almost immediately, but the Samsung and HTC devices and others can take months or even get to never be updated due to the fact that carriers may never want to updated or the OEM never get to do a costum skin  in time, a good example is the Samsung Galaxy Note II which was released in the autumn of 2012 with the android 4.1.2 that's already 2 versions behind the newest version, 4.3, and will probably never be updated due to a possible release of the Samsung Galaxy Note III on IFA Convention in Berlin this September.

iOS 7 Thoughts

So in this post i'm going to tell you what i think about iOS 7, the biggest change to iOS since the iPhone according To Apple.



The Changes:

Altrough Apple said that iOS 7 is more costumizable than iOS 6 thats nowhat appens. iOS 7 is a big update , it changes the UI and Added some cool things like Control Center and the new app switcher but, its still iOS if what you want is to change the UI, ask anybody there's an answer and its called ANDROID.

The UI:

iOS 7 UI is diferent from its predecessor. Apple changed the "software designer" from Scott Forstall's design with very textures and padrons to Johny Ives more simplistic design witch iLove.

The "Prime Devices"

in each Version of iOS there are some prime devices and i can say that in iOS 7 the main devices, or the Devices that Apple focusses more when designing the software, will be:

-iPhone 5S (?)
-iPhone 5C(?)
-iPhone 5 
-iPod touch 6G (??)
-iPod touch 5G
-iPad mini 2 (?)
-iPad mini
-iPad 5 (?)
-iPad 4

in the end of the day i cant say that iLove everithing about iOS 7 but i like 95% of it so will upgrade in the minute it gets realeased.

How to Be a succesfull youtuber in 10 Tips

How to Be  a succesfull youtuber in 10 Tips


1. Descriptions are EXTREMELY important. The YouTube algorithm (bot) cannot watch your videos. It considers many factors when ranking your video. Of the factors you can control, your description is HUGE. Fill up your description with as much keyword-rich information as possible as it pertains to your video.

2. Annotate every video to another video. When a viewer gets done one of your videos, point them to another relevant video at the end. Keep them watching your stuff!

3. Always have a call to action to encourage engagement. Ask for a thumbs up, ask for comments, or ask for a video response. And also, be sure to include past comments or video responses in future videos so that your viewers know that you ARE listening to them.

4. Use YouTube insight to get important stats on all of your videos. This helps you make videos that are better tailored to your audience.

5. Use Playlists to group together similar videos you have made. Use your channel to feature these playlists.

6. Keep video length as short as possible, especially if you are new to YouTube. Five minutes should be long enough.

7. Collaborate with others. Find channels that serve a similar audience and that are a similar size to your own, and do a collaboration. Link to one another's channel, feature videos from the other channel, etc.

8. Customize your channel graphically. Take full advantage of the many branding options available to partners to make your channel look professional and consistent. If you're not a partner, you still have a lot of options to alter the look and feel of your channel.

9. If you're trying to build subscribers, try a subscriber drive. Give away a small item in exchange for people subscribing and watching your videos. Use Twitter and other forms of social media to promote your contest.

10. Be perceptive: see what sticks! Spend time watching the videos of successful YouTubers. Find the videos that are getting the most views or thumbs up. Try to figure out what about those videos or those channels is so compelling, and try to translate into things YOU can do to make your own video more successful.
