Pearl Earrings for Ladies


The world we are living in today has really changed because nowadays men have turned into ladies attires and ladies turned to men’s wear. This is really fashion and none can exclude you from wearing the attire that you think is better for you. Together with this, there are other attires that are specific made for ladies or men and to wear them it is actually a shame and you will be the talk of the day in your community. In this connection, pearl earrings are meant for ladies only and this is justified by their shape and colour. We notice that men do purchase them as gifts to their loved ones but not to wear them. These types of earrings are made of good jewellery and some are very expensive especially those made up of gold and silver material.

These earrings come in different shapes. Some are round, near round, coin or disc shape and many more shapes and it is the mandate of the buyer to choose the best shape for her. Most ladies prefer round-shaped earrings simply because they do fit well into their ears regardless of the shape of the ear and they expose themselves well. The main aim of wearing these earrings is to expose their ears so that an artificial beauty is added to them and at least look decent. This is also the essence with other ornaments like necklaces for example the sterling silver necklaces or cubic zirconia necklaces which are worn for decoration purposes so that the lady does not feel the odd one out amongst the millions of her colleagues worldwide. Some of these earrings have well fitting stoppers that are attached at the tips of the earrings. They are sold together with their stoppers although you can ask for an extra stopper as a discount to use in case the original one disappears.

Most of these earrings are sold with labels indicating their sizes. For example we find sizes like 6.0-7.0mm, 7.0-8.0mm and many more and it is the mandate of the buyer to choose the fitting size that will not hung too much when worn.

Starbucks app allows customers to pay without cash or plastic

Paying for your favorite cup of joe without cash or plastic? Yep, there's an app for that.

Starbucks is reporting that in just three months, three million people have used the "Starbucks Mobile Card App."

Here's how it works: you download the app for your iPhone or BlackBerry, add money to your Starbucks account, and after you order at the register -- instead of paying with a plastic card, you scan the barcode that appears on your phone.

"If I had a smartphone, I'd be pumped about it. I think it's a good idea," said Starbucks customer Mike Dowd. "Not having to carry around a bunch of different cards if you have more than one credit card -- It's all on your phone."

"I think it's creative, easy, and effective. It's kind of green. There's room in your wallet. You don't have to search through a bottomless purse to find it," said another customer, Brandi Dice.

While scanning a barcode on your phone may be fast and easy, it could be taking away from the human interaction between the customer and the cashier or server behind the counter.

Ron Hamilton, who teaches Interpersonal Communication at Finger Lakes Community College, says the Starbucks app is more about the bottom line.

"They're a service business. They need their consumers to be satisfied with the service and the products. And this is just way for cold hard technology to actually have the company say we're going to meet your needs. This is going to be easy and convenient for you. You're probably going to keep seeing us more often, come back and buy more of our products," said Hamilton.

For the record, Hamilton does not have a smart phone, although he feels he's knowledgable about all the fast-changing technology. He doesn't let his students text him -- instead, he encourages face-to-face conversations, a skill a lot of people argue could be dying.

And if you're worried about people touching your smart phone at the store, don't worry, they can't. Just hold out your phone, and they'll scan it.

Understanding How Blackberry Phones Work


BlackBerry phones are particularly known for their continuously connected internet feature, which allows the mobile phones to be able to receive and transmit data via the Blackberry Internet and Enterprise Server systems. This pushes content such as emails, web pages and other information from the internet and mail servers to the Blackberry device. As the longest standing smart phone brand, aside from Nokia, Blackberry has always had a reputation for having secure features that allow the data sent and transmitted to be encrypted or encoded in a way that makes it impossible for the data to be revealed to any individual - even to a computer hacker. Many Blackberry smart phones are used by top security and governmental organizations around the world. These smart phones are quite powerful as well - in fact most of the features that Blackberrys have are designed for people who want the best in basic smart phone features. While many people will opt for the iPhone because of its design, user interface and touch screen experience, those who understand Blackberry’s track record of having phones that can do everything that is needed and still remain secure at the same time, will fully appreciate the Blackberry smart phones.

Until the turn of the century, many people would carry a separate cell phone and PDA to keep up with work and separate tasks. Some people even kept the classic pager that would provide them with information on their next appointment. All of these devices caused frustrations and problems. Firstly, because of the number of devices they had to keep a track of on a regular basis, the process became cumbersome and the fact that they had to respond on several devices at a given time made it even more complicated and time consuming. When the first Blackberry smart phone was introduced, it was a revolution in itself because it combined all of the features of a pager, a cell phone and a PDA into one device that was dubbed the smart phone. Of course, Nokia had been making smart phones but did not have the recognition that Blackberry had in the market. Blackberry was actually behind the concept of the original pager system and evolved their smartphone experience from the pager.

They also require less day-to-day maintenance and care as they are made of more solid materials than cell phones. While a cell phone will mainly be used for voice and text communication, a smart phone will also harness email, web browsing, mobile applications and PDA features as well.

Touch phones – thumbs up or down?


How many people would remember the IBM Simon the first phone to use touch technology? Or even the Apple Newton one of the first PDA’s to use handwriting recognition released that same year. Ironically the iPad touch phone (unrelated to Apple) followed not far behind. By 2002 other manufactures were exploring their own models like the HTC Wallaby (XDA). None of those products really had a chance to take off; perhaps they were all just ahead of their time? It wasn’t until 2007 when Apple had sorted out the technology and tried their hand again by releasing the now revolutionary iPhone. Its success created ripples in the market by creating an adaptable platform to work with this technology eliminating the need for a physical keypad or detachable stylus.

As with any new technology, it takes time to work out all the kinks, but it did not stop the stampede of consumers from lining up to get their hands on one. Many buyers needed to get used to the new way of interfacing with their phones. As these touch screen devices flooded the market they begin to compete on these levels:

- Screen size and resolution
It is exciting to glide your fingers across a glossy touch screen to whisk images and text, the creators of the operating systems that allow us to manipulate through a set of finger gestures.The touch phone makers have been trying to find the perfect screen size to insure easy navigation and provide the best resolution. Nowadays we use these devices to shoot and edit photos, or watch movies and television, take notes, play games or read books. This means that the proper proportion and resolution was needed to accommodate all these activities. The other issues were brightness and sharpness so that enjoying this content would be less taxing on our eyes while providing ample battery life.

- The sleek factor

Our cell phones have become important fashion statements and status symbols. The touch screen phone designers have this in mind; they know that it’s all about lifestyle, but that form has to follow function to keep the product selling. So when you chose you next phone make sure it doesn’t only look good, it also does the job you need it to do.
- What the touch phone has to offer

By eliminating the keyboard they freed up more space for the screen. The same is true about the way we interact and input with the device through a simple flick of a finger. With the hundreds of thousands of apps developed to take full advantage of this not so new but highly improved technology, combined with high speed wireless connectivity. Love it or hate it having the right touch phone with advanced features in your pocket can be a powerful and fun tool,

The Operating System in Smart Phones


A BlackBerry Smartphone is one type of cell phone that offers more advanced computing ability and connectivity than a contemporary cell phone. The name smart phone is all about the software that new generation cell phones are operated by. It was not that many years ago where cell phones were as boring as a copying machine, because all they were used for was voice communication. Nowadays though, due to the introduction of these software tools, cell phone users are more on track with the contemporary demanding world we live in.

The first smart phone, called Simon, was developed by IBM in 1992. Besides being a cell phone, it also contained features like a calendar, address book, world clock, calculator, note pad, e-mail, an ability to send and receive faxes, and games. Unfortunately, it had no physical buttons to dial with. The Nokia Communicator line was the first of Nokia's smart phones starting with the Nokia 9000 in the mid 90’s, but could only manage ‘true smartness’ in the later Nokia 9210 model.

The two most popular and widely available operating systems are iPhone OS and Android. Both are built with numerous functionalities, which means they not only provide different services but also make them very good entertainment gadgets. They really come to life especially when there is a wireless internet connection available, which could easily be pointed out as one of their drawbacks as well, because of the inconsideration to their third world markets.

In recent times, due to the market based production of different Apple Inc. products, and the inevitable issues of software compatibility, the iPhone operating systems are leading very comfortably. What must be said though is that there is no one who deserves it more. As you zip your way around the iPhone 3G's multitouch interface with your fingertips, hardware and software blur into one pleasing experience and for someone new to that experience, it could seem there will never be anything better.

Android, one of the newer operating systems is also heading to a leading role, as it is an open source and also through the involvement of one of the most famous names in the internet industry; Google. Nokia’s symbian and BlackBerry are doing very well, considering the rising competition in the field, but some like Microsoft’s Windows are really fading out of the market.

Eternity rings and eternal love


The promise ring is also called pre-engagement ring. But it is given to a man by woman, so it is man’s engagement ring. This ring basically signifies a women commitment and vows to a specific individual. It appears that promise rings are invention of the modern age but this is not true. These rings were used in ancient Greece and it is thought that these were used since biblical times. Promise ring given to love is worn in left hand and is then moved to right hand after wedding. Mostly it is of diamond.

A promise ring can also be given to a friend or a family member to express their love and bond of never-ending friendship. It is worn in right hand to avoid confusion of loving partner. It is in the form of a pain ring on which word “friendship” is carved.

Sterling silver ring is an appealing gift item. It can be given as birthday gift or as a gift to convey you special emotions towards a person and also on weddings. Sterling silver is an alloy of silver. Pure silver is soft and is not durable. So sterling silver is used to give durability to jewelry. Sterling silver ring is beautiful and attractive. It is affordable because of its low price.

Another pro of sterling silver ring is that they are favored by men. Some men do not wear gold, either of personal reason of because of fashion trend. So it is a good alternative. Men rings are mostly made up of sterling silver, sometime plated with gold.

Don’t use toothpaste to clean sterling silver ring because it can make scratches on metal surface.

Eternity rings are given to express the feeling of eternal love. Eternity rings offer few design variations than engagement rings. These rings are available in different styles. People can choose right style on the basis of metal, shape, and other characteristics.

Eternity rings are available in two forms. In full eternity rings, there is complete circle of gems while in half eternity rings, stones are concentrated in one side. Mostly women prefer half eternal rings. Stones of different shapes and sizes are used. Eternity ring weight is more as compared to traditional ring because of these stones. Mostly eternity ring is made up of diamonds. Other options include emerald, rubies, sapphires and tanzanite use paired with diamond. Style, shapes and stones in ring are important, but the most important are the emotions which are going to be conveyed.

BlackBerry to Match Apple on the Price of Its Tablet

OTTAWA — Research In Motion challenged Apple on Tuesday by announcing that its BlackBerry PlayBook would be sold at the same price as the iPad 2.

The BlackBerry PlayBook is coming April 19 at a base price of $499, the same as an iPad 2.

But the success or failure of the BlackBerry tablet, which will have a base price of $499, is unlikely to be determined in the aisles of Best Buy, Staples, RadioShack or the other retailers that will begin offering it on April 19. Many analysts believe that the PlayBook’s main customer base, like that of the original BlackBerry smartphone, will be corporations and government buying in bulk at a discounted price.

“Maybe ‘PlayBook’ is a misnomer,” said Tony Cripps, an analyst with Ovum, a unit of Datamonitor, who is based in London. “R.I.M. would be crazy not to maximize its advantages in the enterprise market.”

The PlayBook will be the first tablet that is directly price-competitive with Apple’s offering. By comparison, both the Motorola Xoom and the Samsung Galaxy Tab cost more than the iPad 2. Hewlett-Packard, which is also expected to sell its TouchPad tablet to corporations, has not yet announced the price of its device.

While Best Buy began accepting advance orders for the PlayBook on its Web site on Tuesday, the primary buyers of the PlayBook are unlikely to be paying retail. From the first days of the BlackBerry hand-held, R.I.M. carefully cultivated relationships with the information technology departments within corporations and governments. Its products have long included security and control features that are of more interest to people who run computer systems than to the employees using the BlackBerrys.

Jeff Orr, an analyst with ABI Research, said that R.I.M. had been consulting with its large customers about the PlayBook for several months. “They’re playing to a market where they definitely have a closer relationship than Apple,” Mr. Orr said.

That has produced some initial corporate interest. Sun Life Financial, a large insurance and financial services company in Toronto, has agreed to buy about 1,000 PlayBooks and said that it had already developed an application for the devices.

But beyond the identical prices, R.I.M. and Apple have taken several different approaches to their tablets. The PlayBook, for example, has a 7-inch screen compared to the iPad 2’s 9.7-inch display. But unlike the iPad 2, the PlayBook can display Web pages that use Adobe Flash software. and it has a much higher resolution camera for video and still photography.

At first, the PlayBook will be available only in a version that connects to the Internet through Wi-Fi. R.I.M. has said that more advanced, and costly, models for use on wireless carriers’ networks will be available from Sprint this summer. Following Apple’s lead, R.I.M. said that in addition to the base model with 16 gigabytes of memory, the PlayBook will be offered as a 32-gigabyte version for $599 and a 64-gigabyte model for $699.

Despite the embrace of the iPad by consumers, the demand from businesses and governments for tablets remains, at best, unclear. “It’s still very, very early stages,” said Mike Abramsky, an equity analyst with RBC Capital Market, a unit of the Royal Bank of Canada, who said that small businesses currently accounted for most nonpersonal use of tablets.

Still, Mr. Abramsky expects that sales to corporations and governments will account for about 30 to 40 percent of all tablet sales by the end of 2012.

Mr. Abramsky said that many corporations would probably prefer the PlayBook because of their history with the BlackBerry smartphone. But at the same time, he said he also expected that companies would find ways to integrate iPads and tablets based on Google’s Android operating system, if for no other reason than to accommodate employees who bring their personal devices to work.

The Evolution of Mobile Phones


Mobile phones have become a basic necessity in today's world and have come a long way in terms of network technology, battery power and built-in features. The first mobile phone system was designed in 1956. Originally created by TeliaSonera and Ericsson, it got the ball rolling for further development, as many companies showed an interest in mobile technology.

The first hand-held cellular mobile phone was created in 1983 by American Motorola. The cellular network system was applied to mobile technology. That system is still in use today, because it reduces power use and interference with other signals, while still covering a large area. This is the reason why these phones are also called cell phones.

Although there were already over ten million users in 1990, the most widespread use of mobile technology began in 1991 with the introduction of the GSM network system. According to the International Telecommunication Union, the increase of mobile technology users between 1991 and 2005 was estimated at a whopping 13,550%.

Mobile phones have made significant changes to peoples’ lives and, as the technology advances, they continue to do so. The most significant change is on the social aspect. Users are able to stay in touch with their family and friends in all parts of the world. With the development of smart phones and internet telecommunication, staying in touch has never been easier and cheaper than it is today.

In the business world, cell phones have made communication with clients and co-workers much easier than it was before. However, some people may interpret it as an invasion of privacy. Just like people should leave their private lives private during working hours, they should leave their work out of their private lives. But mobile technology can be very beneficial when it comes to keeping updated about current events in business. Not to mention that being available to people you work with 24x7, especially your clients, is a very important business aspect that mobile technology provides.

With over 2.5 billion users world-wide, mobile phones are one of the most popular gadgets today. That is not a big surprise, because they are becoming very complex multi-functional tools. Apart from phone calls and text messaging, they are also able to play music, take photos, record videos and even connect to the internet as well. So instead of owning a separate gadget for each of these functions, by purchasing a good cell phone, a person can get all of these features in one compact stylish device.

Cell Phone Health Hazards


For a child who is born today, it would be nearly impossible to imagine a time when there were no mobile phones. For many who have seen those times, it would be nearly impossible to imagine a life without one because ever since phones became mobile, people don’t just carry a gadget, but a whole lifestyle, in their pockets. While on one hand, our lives have become much easier with the cell phone being our ever-ready solution to everything, the flipside of increased cell phone usage is reflected in much research.

From contacting someone by calling or texting to surfing the internet, from being used as a calculator to being used as an organizer, from showing directions through GPS to being used as a torch, when you start thinking about it, you come to realize how much our lives are dependent on our cell phones. Over the years, however, a large number of studies have shown a link between mobile phone usage and cancer risks, which could mean that this very dependency of ours may be pushing us towards an unavoidable health disaster.

According to the U.S. National Cancer Institute, the concerns about mobile phones causing certain kinds of cancers or other health-related issues are due to a few factors:

• The emission of radio waves or radio frequency (RF) energy from a mobile phone is seen as a sort of radiation that is currently being studied for the impact it has on people’s health.

• There has been a drastic rise in the number of people using cell phones. As of 2010, 91 percent of the U.S. population has a cell phone subscription.

A 2010 book titled ¬‘Disconnect: The Truth About Cell Phone Radiation, What The Industry Has Done To Hide It And How To Protect Your Family’ by noted American scientist Dr. Devra Davis, suggests that the risks posed by cell phone radiation have been ignored for a long time, expressing fears the problem could become an even bigger threat – ‘a catastrophe’ – in no more than three years’ time.
A 2007 study by Swedish professor Dr. Lennart Hardell, based on reviews of papers written on epidemiology, concluded that:
• Mobile phone subscribers raised the dangers of cancerous gliomas.
• There is a relationship between the usage of cell phones and a greater number of acoustic neuroma cases.
• There was more likelihood of the occurrence of malignant growth or tumor on the side of the head where the cell phone is used.
• Daily one hour usage of cell phone could cause a significant rise in the risk of a tumor ten or more years later.

The studies have, however, failed to show a decisive relationship between the usage of mobile phones and cancer. According to Interphone (2010), considering everything, cell phone subscribers did not face any elevated threats for the two most commonly occurring kinds of tumors in the brain, which are meningioma and glioma. Even though a higher danger of glioma occurrence was found, a minor percentage of participants did mention using a cell phone for calls mostly, the scientists still failed to reach a conclusion.

The reports may be inconclusive, however, as consumers we should exercise caution by possibly cutting down on our daily cell phone usage. Also, as Dr. Davis suggests, it’s better to carry a cell phone in a bag while traveling in order to keep it away from coming in contact with our body.

Hotels unable to hang up on costly phone systems

NEW YORK — Travel today, from luggage to laptop, is increasingly high-tech. Yet every hotel room hosts a costly anachronism: a traditional telephone.

"Phones used to be a revenue center," said Best Western Chief Executive Officer David Kong. "Now they're a cost center."

The dwindling utility of the hotel room phone is part of a wider trend that has landlines vanishing from homes and workers doing business on the BlackBerry.

AT&T and Verizon Communications, the big local phone companies, are losing 10 percent to 12 percent of their lines every year to other providers, said independent telecom analyst Jeff Kagan. That rate will only increase, he said.

But hotels can't hang up on their phone systems. Guest safety and security demand them, said Bjorn Hanson, a professor at New York University's Tisch Center for Hospitality, Tourism and Sports Management.

"We're stuck with them," Kong said.

Features that Identify a Smartphone


When it comes to defining exactly what a smartphone is, there are many differing opinions. There are many cell phones on the market that are considered by some to fall into this category, but are lacking some important features in order to be fully categorized as such. The most common kind of smartphone operating systems that are found on these phones are the Symbian OS, iPhone OS, BlackBerry OS, Windows OS and the Android OS. Although the Symbian OS can sometimes be found on regular phones, it is locked in those cases and no additional applications can be installed.

In addition to a “qwerty” keyboard instead of the standard dial keyboard, having a touch screen is a must on these phones. Even keyboards are becoming obsolete these days and are being replaced with virtual keyboards on the screen. Besides having a proper operating system, a smartphone must also be able to have additional applications installed on it. In other words, the OS must be extendable. These are the main features that separate a smartphone from a regular phone. Although some users argue that the iPhone does not fall into this category, it is obvious that it meets all the mentioned criteria.

Some other abilities include reading all types of web pages and the ability to remain constantly connected through a wireless network to the internet. Regular phones can only access certain web pages that are intentionally designed for mobile phone users and are unable to read regular HTML or XML websites.

BlackBerry phones are some of the most popular smart phones today. Originally designed for corporate users and were thought of as completely uninteresting to private users, it has the best e-mail user interface in comparison with other operating systems. A custom instant messenger, designed to act as a messenger directly between two users, is another trait that is found only on this phone. Until recently these phones were created exclusively for business users. However, of late they have added some entertaining features which caused a surge in interest from private users.

Smart phones are becoming more popular with both business and private users. Business users may find themselves in situations where they are unable to access a computer and need to send an urgent email. Personal users may enjoy using Facebook, Twitter or any other social network or instant messaging applications to stay in touch with friends in any place, at any time. Either way, the popularity of smart phones means that there will be no going back to regular cell phones in the near future.
