Last year most smartphones as we currently know have turned 10 years old. This anniversary was celebrated by Apple with the release of their flagship device, the iPhone X, that brought forth quite a few never-before-seen features, like its dented OLED screen, its Face ID, and wireless charging. A decade has passed since iPhone and iPad compatible gaming apps became a thing, so this is the perfect time to look back and be amazed at the amazing growth mobile gaming has seen in such a short time.

Although mobile games did exist before the advent of the iPhone, they weren’t a very big business. The vast majority of mobile games were simple puzzles with pixelated graphics perfect for killing a few minutes while waiting for the bus but not much more. But then it all changed when the iPhone came with its powerful hardware and big screen (powerful and big for that time, that is). Suddenly, the smartphone has become one of the most desirable gadgets and apps became the “new black”, as they say. Continue reading this post ->

In recent times, the cloud offers one of the most significant advances for businesses. Cloud computing enables businesses to remotely store their data without having to invest in physical hardware. This remote storage capability eliminates concerns about accidents, malfunctions, and costly obsolescence of physical equipment.

Instead, businesses can now quickly upgrade their storage capacity to as large as one exabyte. The cloud has a few drawbacks though, the biggest of which has been security. Companies live in constant fear of the breaches common in modern business. That being said, the following four advances in cloud security have begun to revolutionize the way businesses view the cloud.

Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASBs)

Among the popular cloud security trends is the rising use of cloud access security brokers, or CASBs. These software tools and services work as secure cybersecurity buffers between a company’s on-site infrastructure and infrastructure of a cloud provider. The CASB is essentially a gatekeeper that gives companies control of their security policies beyond their immediate infrastructure.

CASBs extend the organization’s security policies to the network traffic traveling between on-site devices and the cloud provider. These brokers are especially useful for companies in regulated industries, as they can identify high-risk cloud applications, high-risk users, and other serious risks.

Shifting Targets

In the past hackers would target the company itself, now they’re growing wiser and using the cloud as a threat vector. In another sense, these hackers target cloud applications as potentially easy ways to breach an organization’s security. For example, a hacker might steal Google credentials stored in the cloud to access the rest of a company’s data. Continue reading this post ->

In hindsight, 2015 was a wonderful year for gadgets. The consumer sector, driven by technological improvements, continued to produce newer and more useful gadgets for our consumption. Although some of the new tech toys were little more than novelties, others showed signs of being the next great thing. Below you’ll find four items that were at the forefront of tech in 2015.

Acer H7550ST Short Throw Projector

There’s something magical about projected films, something that transcends the simple watching of moving images and transports us to faraway lands and impossible situations. We all love the movies, but it is pricey to get a ticket these days. Rather than just watching a film on your television, however, you can choose to recreate the grandeur of theatrical exhibition in the comfort of your home by buying a projector. The Acer H7550ST Short Throw projector is a sturdy unit with HD picture and stereo sound so you can make your home theater an experience to remember.

Polaroid Socialmatic

We may live in the digital age, but Polaroid is betting that there is a place for older forms of content as well. Specifically, printed photographs. The Polaroid Socialmatic is a digital camera with a twist — rather than simply taking an image, it is capable of printing it as well. This makes it a modernized version of the instant photo cameras that the company built its reputation on. Those who might fear that the Socialmatic would neglect newer features need not worry: the camera has built-in wi-fi and GPS, letting you share as well as print.

Vaporcade Jupiter

Innovation requires making the bold steps that no one else is attempting. The Vaporcade Jupiter is a totally new direction in smartphone construction. It is a top-of-the-line Android smartphone, with all the access to accessories and apps provided by the premier phone OS. In addition to that, however, the Jupiter also has an attached vaping setup, so users can indulge their hobbies with the same device they use to make their phone calls and manage their media. For added utility, the user can install some of the many vaping-related Android apps right on the phone.

SolPro Charger

If you have the SolPro Charger, the battery warning light doesn’t need to end your party. The SolPro is a USB charging station powered by the rays of the sun itself.

With playing online casino games becoming a popular and trendy form of entertainment, you need to find an app that is going to give you the most value for your money and provide the best ancillary services too. There are so many online casino apps out there, so you need to do your research about their features and what they are offering you. Today we will take an in depth look at the Vegas Palms mobile casino app, and discuss its top three features

Ease of use

One thing that just puts me off an application or website is if it has a bad UI (User Interface). Simply put, if I am finding your site or app difficult to navigate or use, I want to take my hard earned cash elsewhere. So it was a wonderful relief to have no such issues with the Vegas Palms app.

Promotions and freebies

Okay, so who doesn’t like to have multiple opportunities to win big? With so many mobile casino apps out there, I want one that is going to go out of its way to make me feel valued as their customer, and offer me additional promotions and benefits that I would not get at another website, or at a traditional casino. Vegas Palms does well in this regard. Many online casinos offer new player welcome bonuses, usually in the form of free money (matching your deposit) or free spins. But Vegas Palms goes beyond the expected and offers you a 200% deposit bonus as well as 150 free spins, showing you that they really are at the top of their game.

They also always have ongoing promotions and competitions where you can win prizes such as cash or a cruise. Now some would say that this is not relevant as it is not central to the service they are providing. But I would argue that in an incredibly saturated market, an app that is doing something that can benefit me and distinguish itself from others, is an app I would prefer to use.

Options galore

I am the type of person who gets frustrated when I am not given options of how to do something. It annoys me when casino operators do not think of me as the client and what will satisfy and be convenient or me. I really appreciate that in various ways Vegas Palms gives me options. There is the option of how to play; playing online on your internet browser, playing on their mobile app (which is personally most convenient for me) on your smart phone or a tablet like an iPad, or even the option of being able to download the entire casino suite to my computer. But it does not stop there, they have over 500 games on offer, so if you specifically enjoy a particular casino game, there’s most likely an option for you. Interested?

Dropbox

Dropbox has stiff competition with the likes of Google and Apple essentially ruling the cloud storage market. That said though, it simply works better than their competitors thanks to consistent servers, functionality across all devices, and a simple interface that doesn’t over-complicate your cloud storage. Collaboration and communication through Dropbox is very helpful when working on team projects.

Paper

Paper is an interesting planning app that allows you to use your device’s camera to take pictures and assemble them into visual reminders and lists. The visual notes are helpful for capturing package details when shopping for specific items at the grocery store. Share features allow you to connect with friends who also use the app, and a sketch function allows the user to create notes or drawings without typing. Continue reading this post ->

Back in the day fantasy sports were only played over the course of one season, amongst friends. The format was rather static and even though fantasy sports have been around for more than half a century, their scope was limited. It wasn’t until less than a decade ago when daily fantasy sports were introduced. Nowadays daily fantasy sports are pretty much the norm. Even though there are people who participate in traditional fantasy sports competitions, most players have switched to daily fantasy sports.

With the widespread use of smartphones and the fact that each new generation of phones is becoming more powerful and faster, fantasy sports are now available via mobile apps, just like online casinos went mobile. Fantasy sports websites and online casinos employ various techniques in their attempts to attract more players. Online casinos often offer no deposit bonuses, where a player is simply required to open an account in order to receive a free bonus. Some of these bonuses are quite attractive, you can get the bonus codes for Go Wild casino here. Fantasy sports operators also offer multiple bonuses and promotions that help them acquire new fans and keep the existing ones.

FanDuel

There are two large fantasy sports providers in the US that control most of the market. One of them is FanDuel, a company which is based in New York. It has an estimated value of about $1bn. FanDuel paid about $2bn to players in winnings in 2015. Bear in mind that they only paid out $400m in 2014 and $50 in 2012. That is quite a progression. There are many competitions with guaranteed prize pools with high awards. FanDuel offers daily fantasy sport competitions for NBA, MLB, NFL, NHL and NCAA. FanDuel also offers more than 12,000 daily leagues, a figure that surely won’t be matched by many other providers. Continue reading this post ->
