The Most Toxic Superhero Is None Other Than Superman!

By

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s Superman! Yes, this superhero might be the epitome of courage, justice, and strength, but he might also be the biggest threat to you online.

We’ve entered a new age of superheroes. No longer are they just pictures in a comic book. They are now accessible on computers, game console devices, and mobile devices. Superheroes like Captain America, Thor, and Spiderman star on the silver screen. The Green Arrow and The Flash have their own television shows. Videos like Batkid and the Spiderman dad went viral on YouTube [and consequently, melted our hearts].

This is great news to comic publishers like Marvel and DC Comics. Unfortunately, it’s also good news to hackers and scammers too. Cybercriminals know that search engines [like Google, Yahoo! and Bing] can also be used for criminal means. Therefore, they use popular search terms to draw victims in like celebrity gossips, holidays, viral hits, and… you guessed it… superheroes.

McAfee just released a study on the Most Toxic Superheroes that analyzed what superhero search led to the most risky websites using McAfee® SiteAdvisor® site ratings, and the Man of Steel topped the list. The study determined that searching “Superman,” “Superman and free torrent download,” “Superman and watch,” “Superman and free app,” and “Superman and online,” yields a 16.5% chance of landing on a website that has tested positive for online threats, such as spyware, adware, spam, phishing, viruses and other malware.

This year the Most Toxic Superheroes are:

Here are some things you can do to protect yourself:

• Be suspicious: If a search turns up a link to free content or too-good-to-be-true offers, be wary

• Double-check the web address: Look for misspellings or other clues that the site you are going to may not be safe [for more on this, read McAffe’s Blog on typosquatting]

• Search safely: Use a web safety advisor, such as McAfee SiteAdvisor that displays a red, yellow, or green ratings in search results, alerting you to potential risky sites before you click on them

• Protect yourself: Use comprehensive security software on all your devices, like McAfee LiveSafe™service, to protect yourself against the latest threats

Colour Up Your Life With the 2014 Logitech Colour Collection

By

I can’t imagine myself living a day of just black and white. Without other colours like red, blue, green, and so on, wouldn’t you agree that life would be quite mundane and meaningless. Since colours allow us to express our style, our thoughts, and our emotions; how would you like if you could use a different colour each day at work or at play to express yourself?
With the 2014 Logitech Colour Collection, you can do just that!

The 2014 Logitech Colour Collection was designed to reflect the open expression of individuality in society today. Available in 5 bold and vibrant colours, the newly designed Logitech® Wireless Mouse M235 is a perfect mix of precision and comfort, and it offers a new way to express yourself.

Is having a computer mouse still necessary today? Yes, if you are using the desktop and more so if you are an avid gamer.

What if you are a laptop user?

Have you ever felt this way before?

While the touchpad on the laptop allows you to navigate your way around, it can sometimes be extremely frustrating to use because of its unresponsive touch and inaccuracies. In all honesty, we prefer to use the laptop with a mouse [rather than a touchpad] as it offers added convenience. Furthermore, a wireless mouse allows you to be mobile when giving presentations and with the Logitech® Wireless Mouse M235, there’s no need for a mouse pad!

What We Like About the Logitech® Wireless Mouse M235

• Compact-size
• Wireless
• Energy-saving [battery can last approximately one year]
• No need for a mouse pad
• Appealing design and colour

Are you ready to colour up your life?

The Logitech® Wireless Mouse M235 is retailing for SGD$29 each and it comes with a 3-year limited hardware warranty. For more information about the Logitech® Wireless Mouse M235, you can check out Logitech Singapore’s Website.

Oh, and if you are thinking of getting your wife/mum the Logitech® Wireless Mouse M235, you might want to join the Mother’s Day Contest that Logitech Singapore is running because they are giving away 20 sets of Logitech® Wireless Mouse M235. Hurry though; because the contest closes on 9th May 2014 [tomorrow].

[Smartphone Review]- With OPPO N1, Taking High Quality Selfies Is Now A Breeze

By

We were invited to the media launch of the OPPO N1 sometime back and we were so mightily impressed with the innovative features of the smartphone that we even purchased it for our own personal usage.

With revolutionary features such as the world’s first rotatable in-phone camera, a unique O-touch rear panel, and the O-Click remote control; the OPPO N1 truly reminded all whom were present at the launch event, that innovation is not lost in the mobile smartphone industry.

Improving on current functional limitations, the main innovative feature of the OPPO N1 is the swivel camera that has a rotation range of 206°. As such, this will allow users to lock in position at any angle for the best selfie experience.

The OPPO N1 also comes with a special O-Touch panel at the back of the phone that offers the user a convenient one-handed operation. The panel allows the user to scroll, tap, or snap photos; without having the fingers blocking the screen. However, the O-Touch panel is sometimes not so intuitive and we feel that its responsiveness can be further improved upon.

Answering the common wish of mobile phone owners who always misplace their phones, the OPPO N1 introduces the first of its kind O-Click remote. With it, users will always be able to find their mobile phone with a simple touch of the O-Click where they can activate an alarm on their phone. The keychain-friendly device supports a range of up to 15 meters, staying connected with the phone via Bluetooth. The O-Click also allows the user to remotely operate the N1 camera.

What We Think Of The OPPO N1?

Needless to say, we really like the high quality photographs that the onboard 13-megapixels rotatable camera is able to capture and coupled with the O-Click remote, capturing group photos from a distance is no longer an issue and you can just snap photos with just a simple touch of the O-click.

The OPPO N1 has no problems taking jump-shots too

Even when on the move, the picture that the OPPO N1 takes is still quite good.

The battery life of the OPPO N1 is pretty impressive as it was able to last us for 2 days on normal usage conditions which includes checking our Facebook Newsfeed, sending text messages, making phone calls, and browsing the Internet.

However, with all honesty, we feel that for the price of SGD$769, the OPPO N1 is quite a pricey smartphone; considering the fact that it has a small storage capacity of 16GB, no LTE connectivity, and uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 quad-core 1.7GHz processor.

If you are a photography buff, you might want to consider getting the OPPO N1. However, if you are expecting the smartphone to have the power and the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 or the Sony Xperia Z Ultra, you will definitely be in for a disappointment. Otherwise, we reckon that the OPPO N1 will be quite a popular choice with the ladies whom are contented with a phone that allows them to take nice selfies!

[Smartphone Review]- Picture Perfect With The LG G Pro 2

By

Two weeks ago, we attended the media preview of the LG G Pro 2 phablet, the successor of the award winning LG G Pro and we really like some of the new added features that we believe many shutterbugs would love too!

Design & Aesthetics

Continuing the minimal and simplistic design of G, the design of G Pro 2 has been enhanced ergonomically as compared to its predecessor.

The G Pro2 has a non-slippery metal mesh finish on the back cover to offer a comfortable, non-slippery, and firm grip; and the Rear Key offers greater convenience and usability by allowing you to easily access commonly used features such as the QuickMemo and camera by long-pressing the (+) or (-) volume keys. Whether you’re right or left handed, the Rear Key, which is placed on the back where your index finger is naturally placed, also allows for a comfortable and easy grip.

Multimedia Features

Offering you the best viewing experience thanks to its 5.9-inch Full HD Display, the G Pro 2 will allow you to enjoy clearer and sharper images that capture every detail and accurate colours without distortion.

With the 1W Hi-Fi Sound, you can now enjoy rich and powerful sound effects when watching movies, music videos, or games. Through the 1 Watt Hi-Fi powerful speaker, the G Pro 2 offers studio quality sound without any loss of original sound.

G Pro 2 Camera Features

The enhanced powerful 13-megapixels OIS+ Camera that comes onboard the G Pro 2 will give you the best camera capabilities that are not only useful but also intuitive and simple to use.

The image quality of the G Pro 2 Camera is so astounding that it was used to photograph the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights).

  • Magic Focus

After a shot is taken, you ca have the option to select the preferred depth of focus before saving it. You can also press the all-in-focus icon to make every object in the frame look their sharpest.

  • Natural Flash

It offers a more balanced colour temperature and exposure for the most natural-looking photos compared to images taken with a normal flash.

  • Flash for Selfie

Thanks to the increased sensor size and reduced aperture from 2.6 to 2.2, you can enjoy a clear and lighter picture even in pitch dark environment.

  • 4K ULTRA HD recording

When you want to capture the true beauty of footage, you will now have the option to record it in Ultra High-Definition (4K ULTRA HD) mode that allows for the footage to be recorded in a resolution of 3840 pixels × 2160 lines.

G Pro 2 4K ULTRA HD Recording Sample

G Pro 2 Performance

As the G Pro 2 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 quad-core 2.26GHz processor and 3GB RAM, launching multiple apps did not cause it to lag and multi-tasking was a breeze. Although it is equipped with a ‘best-in-class’ battery capacity of 3,200mAh with SiO+ technology, it’s overall battery life performance is average.

Our Opinion

With its practical rear button setup, the G Pro 2 allows for a better handling than similar or bigger-sized phablets. The G Pro 2 also boasts an excellent 5.9-inch Full-HD display and a 13-megapixel rear camera that delivers good image quality. Although the battery life performance of the G Pro 2 does not live up to expectations, spare batteries can be purchased for an additional boost.

To be honest, the G Pro 2 does not have any features which LG’s rivals cannot match up to. In fact, most of the features that come along with the G Pro 2 can be found in its rivals’ phablets and the only consolation is the advanced camera features which shutterbugs will find useful.

LG G Pro 2 (Titan Colour)

If you are looking for a phablet that allows you to take nice pictures and yet offers you a stunning display for watching your favourite movies or playing your favourite games while on the move, you might want to consider the G Pro 2 for your next phone purchase.

The LG G Pro 2 is available for purchase from 29 March 2014 at a recommended retail price of SGD$828 (without line contract and inclusive of GST). Two colours, Titan and White, will be available at launch and the G Pro 2 red model is slated to be launched at a later date.

[App Review]- Get A LoveByte From The Apple App Store & The Google Play Store

By

In today’s technologically-advanced environment, there are so many new ways that couples can communicate and interact to build stronger and lasting relationships.
We recently stumbled upon a mobile application [app], LoveByte, and we really like some of the features that the mobile app has to offer; especially to couples. The mobile app, LoveByte, provides a private space for couples to communicate and document their love journey. It is focused on encouraging busy people to make time for the things and people that really matter in life.

LoveByte allows one to have undivided attention for his or her significant other, unlike that of open social networks such as Facebook and Twitter which contain information and newsfeed of many other people whom may not really matter to you.

Here are some really cool features that LoveByte has to offer to couples:

Scratchcards!

  • Encourages both of you to engage at a deeper level by meeting offline and participate in activities together.
  • Send love coupons to each other to propose fun dating activities from LoveByte’s list of suggestions
  • Induce fun and excitement into your relationship by sending your partner scratchcards with little surprises.

LoveByte Scratchcards provide a wide variety of fun and interesting date ideas for couples; from exploring the outdoors, snuggly stay-in dates, to taking up life-enriching activities together. This unique and innovative way of helping couples alleviate the trouble of thinking about different date activities can definitely help spice up any relationship this Valentine’s Day.

Chat

  • Send cute stickers to express your emotions and love to your significant other.

Albums

  • Organise your photos into albums so that you can easily keep track of your sweet moments with one another.

Dates

Never have to worry about another “monthsary” or anniversary. The Dates function keeps track of all the important dates between the two of you. Sometimes we forget anniversaries unknowingly and end up upsetting our significant other. With the specially designed ‘Days Together’ counter, you will no longer let an important date slip you by.

Couple Profile & Customisable Timeline

  • Easily browse through happy moments in the form of photos, important dates, and notes on the customisable timeline.
  • Keep track and feel proud of the duration of your relationship!

LoveByte couples will have a shared Timeline, which allows them to record significant milestones in their relationships, such as first dates, meet-the-parents, and overseas vacations together. The Timeline also makes it hassle-free when searching for past photos, notes and dates because they are all available with a simple scroll down the app’s home page. As time passes, a virtual scrapbook will be produced with lovely memories never made to be forgotten.

Our Review of LoveByte Mobile Application:

The LoveByte mobile application is very useful for couples to communicate with one another and the features that are available on LoveByte is very interesting. Whether for couples whom are still dating or are already married, the LoveByte mobile app will definitely keep the romance and passion alive!

To make your relationship with your other half an even more fulfilling and interesting one, we highly recommend the LoveByte mobile app. We personally find the app very useful and if you feel the same way too after using it; don’t hesitate to share the love!

You can download the LoveByte mobile app from the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.

Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone!

Flex Some Muscles with the New LG G Flex Smartphone

By

LG is always at the forefront of innovative technology breakthrough. In this year alone, we have attended numerous product launches by LG and we have seen how the company always strive to constantly be the best in the field of ‘Smart Technology’.

Now what exactly is Smart Technology and how does it apply to us in our daily lives?

In our own terms, Smart Technology serves to provide a proven time-saving specific function that is relevant to the user, and its efficiency and effectiveness to help improve our everyday lives can be measured. Simply put, products that incorporate Smart Technology are easy to use, intuitive, saves time, and provides convenience to users.

There are a couple of products such as mobile phones, television [TV], and home appliances from LG that incorporates the use of Smart Technology and one fine example is the LG Smart TV. In the olden days, the TV is only used for watching TV shows but long gone are those days because in today’s modern society, the TV is not just for watching TV shows but it can also perform a variety of functions such as internet browsing, content streaming, and even the downloading of games that can be played on the TV.

As such, we have highlighted 2 really wonderful features of the LG Smart TV that all TV-addicts would die for:

1. Time Machine II

With the newly updated version of the LG’s Time Machine feature, TV programmes can now be recorded and saved onto the TV’s built-in memory. Users can record a TV channel while watching a different channel [only available in LA8600]; record a TV channel while watching a Blu-ray title; or schedule to record a programme even when the TV is not switched on. With LG’s Time Machine feature, you don’t have to worry about missing any of your favourite TV programmes anymore!

2. LG TV Tag On [via NFC]

As the LG TV Tag On feature uses NFC [Near Field Communication] technology, it comes with a NFC sticker and requires the user to download the LG TV Tag On App from the Google Play Store on his/her NFC-enabled Android smartphone before the feature can work.

With the LG TV Tag On feature, it is now possible for users to perform content streaming between an NFC-enabled Android smartphone and the LG smart TV. Now, how this works is as such; assuming you are watching a video on the LG Smart TV and it so happens you have a pretty bad stomachache and you have to make a trip to the washroom. With the LG TV Tag On feature, you can now bring whatever you are watching on the LG Smart TV to your portable handheld NFC-enabled Android smartphone. All you have to do is place your smartphone on the NFC sticker and the TV content will appear on your smartphone for viewing!

Having shown you how the LG Smart TV helps you to live smartly with the Smart Technology that is incorporated; we will now be using the LG G Flex smartphone that was created and recently launched by LG as another example.

The LG G Flex is poised to create a new milestone in the smartphone revolution, incorporating proprietary innovations from other LG companies in the form of the display and battery.

Here’s how the LG G Flex [incorporated with Smart Technology] will bring about convenience and practicality to the everyday ‘lifestylists’!

Design

With the unique and vertically curved design of the LG G Flex, the distance between the user’s mouth and the microphone [when the device is held against the ear] is reduced and hence, optimised to deliver improved voice and sound quality. As a matter of fact, the LG G Flex curved design increases the sound level by 3 decibels as compared to typical flat smartphones. The LG G Flex curved design also offers a more reassuring grip and fits more comfortably in one’s back pocket.

In landscape mode, the display offers a cinematic experience to fit the contours of human’s eyes, providing users the most immersive and comfortable viewing angle for watching videos or playing games.

[Image Credits to LG Mobile Singapore]

The LG G Flex also features the Rear Key function which was first introduced in the LG G2. Devoid of any buttons on the sides, there is less chance of accidentally powering off the phone and the convenience of using one’s index finger to adjust the volume when conversing is maintained.

[Image Credits to The News Tribe]

Battery

[Image Credits to @kenhong via Tom’s Hardware]

LG Chem, a sister company of LG, developed the world’s first curved battery technology specifically for application in the LG G Flex. The curved battery in the G Flex is designed with LG Chem’s patented Stack & Folding technology, reducing the physical stress on the battery pack when in the curved form and provides better stability and performance. Despite its thin form, the LG G Flex battery has a capacity of 3,500mAh, enough power for more than a full day of use.

Features

The LG G Flex has an array of new features that will prove to be useful for consumers. Some of the new features include QuickTheater, a feature that gives users quick access to photos, videos and YouTube right from the lock screen; Dual Window, a feature that divides the wide 6-inch screen into two separate windows for more effective multitasking; Face Detection Indicator, a feature that displays the LED on the Rear Key in green to confirm the status of face detection and focus during self-shots using the rear camera.

[Image Credits to Inferse]

Among the several new technologies incorporated into the LG G Flex, the LG G Flex is the first smartphone to apply a “Self-Healing” coating on the back cover. This elastic coating has the ability to recover from the daily wear-and-tear scratches and nicks that un-cased smartphones are likely to receive, helping it to maintain a brand-new look.

Summary

With ergonomic features and Smart Technology incorporated into the LG G Flex, the LG G Flex certainly has much to offer! “LG has continued to learn from consumers and has broken boundaries with a distinctive and revolutionary product that is shaped to enhance consumers’ usage experience,” said Mr. Scott Jung, Managing Director, LG Electronics Singapore “The LG G Flex with its distinctive curved design, innovative hardware and consumer-centric UX sets the standard in the smartphone industry and represents the most significant smartphone development.”

Smartphones aside, we’re pretty confident that LG will continue to spearhead and pave the way for Smart Technology to be infused into our everyday life. With LG, Life is Good!

If this article about the LG G Flex is too technical to understand or comprehend, this video produced by the team from HardwareZone.com is definitely way easier to understand as it clearly demonstrates the new functions and features that is available with the LG G Flex.

The LG G Flex will be available at M1, Singtel, Starhub and other authorised LG mobile retailers from 21 December 2013 for a recommended retail price of SGD$1,088.

If you are interested in the LG G Flex and you wish to find out more information, do check out LG Mobile Singapore Facebook Page!

Say, “Yes!” to smart living with smart technology!
