Accessories: results of the year

Heavy was the year that ended for some companies thinking about all sorts of cuts in all that concerns not the main activity. Someone has focused on cost veshchichki someone, on the contrary, in every way makes a spectacle musical possibilities, and the most interesting thing is that the market at a difficult time there are new names that oh how hard it would have to fight with well-known manufacturers.

Looking for the right "box": It's cold ... warmer ... hot?

Looking for the right "box": It's cold ... warmer ... hot? Despite the cool weather, the Moscow Summer 2004 may well be regarded as hot, at least in the field of competition for mobile subscribers. Summer Season is about to begin, and with it a global marketing lull, "land of nod" to mid-August, and even up to the September. At the end of the first decade of June is usually possible to sum up preliminary results of the pre-summer marketing initiatives and advertising campaigns, but not so simple. Summer maneuvers MTS and MegaFon Moscow market can be considered valid, but the symmetrical response BeeLine we have not seen. The logic of events forces us to assume some surprises coming in the near future. Let's try to assess the situation and predict possible steps Vimpelcom - unless, of course, those will materialize. In any case, to come soon, the maximum per week. The more interesting play "guessing".

I live, I work

The release of new software packages from Apple for the life and work for me was not a special event, phenomenon or something else very important. However, thanks to some of the right people, I finally gave up and moved to Word Pages. In this article we will talk about iLife and iWork sample of 2009, but not about the entire suite of programs, but only about what I personally use it daily and sometimes hourly.

Vacuum

Today we talk about upgrading laptop MacBook Air, though this is the update happened some time ago and touched an internal "decoration", Foreign Air remained so, as before. But even this is the essence of the material, having lived with different "air" for a year now, I have accumulated a certain number of thoughts on how, and without threads.

Garage Band'09 firsthand

The success of Apple computers has played a significant role reputation, deserved them in the professional fields, particularly in graphic and web design, printing, working with sound and video.

Guide enhancements: February 2009,

Guide enhancements: February 2009, I quite often for some of the publications I write a sort of hit collections. Asked to either pick up ten months (or two), or pick up a couple of the best products or advise accessories for specific devices. Pursuing this, by and large a account hack, I'm constantly thinking of our readers. How could they, the poor live are deprived "tops" and so on? Well, now, finally, I matured.

As soon appear on the market in large numbers only announced and not yet announced products, the material will be updated and so on.

MMS-broadcast the championship at the MTS: an own goal?

MMS-broadcast the championship at the MTS: an own goal? The path of new services to market is often not easy and thorny. Especially when it comes to new, more poorly run-specific operator technology - an unsuccessful attempt to organize the MTS MMS-broadcast matches of European Football Championship is a good example. The desire to profit at the same time "to promote MMS to the masses" is understandable and laudable, but the championship with its spectacular scenes - a good excuse. However, "We wanted the best, but it turned out like always." It's not even in the esteemed company's reputation, hardly the image quality and reliable operator will suffer because of such trifles. Worse, this episode has been very effective anti-advertising the new service, and in the environment itself that neither is the target audience of those few who are interested in MMS-reporting and decided to try this very nebesplatnuyu service.

Hot "denim" June in MTS
End of the week puzzled appearance relatively frequent failures in the Moscow MTS network. Recurrent network busy, break the connection just "out of the blue," a distinct echo during a talk within - it is a personal experience. Of the complaints from other users - a significant delay in the delivery of SMS-messages, and even such exotica as a response of "number is not registered." In principle, nothing wrong, but usually such defects in the work of the MTS network is not recorded and callers of this operator always enjoyed an excellent quality of communication. In fairness it should be noted that not all the "lucky" to run into one or the other fails, many (quite possibly the majority) of users is no problem with mobile phones was not. On weekends, there was no gripes, everything worked as usual - that is, quality and stable. Would not be worth even write about it, if not a curious assumption.

Overview of accessories Nokia: minor additions For quite a long time since we have not addressed the topic of small add-ons for mobile phones is, for example, wired headsets, blankets and more.

MMS-reports from the European football championship - the analysis of goals scored and goals conceded

MMS-reports from the European football championship - the analysis of goals scored and goals conceded Article about never materialized MMS-reports from the European Championship in Portugal caused a certain resonance among fans and part-time "MTS. The main argument is inconsistent with article: reports were sent and received notice, and that potential recipients of their way and failed to "scratch" with the MTS server, so it's not a reason to blame the operator. And, moreover, is solely responsible for the content provider content MMS-broadcasts. I had to come to grips with finding the causes of failures and to consult with the experts.

Guide to bluetooth-headsets, Spring-Summer 2010 Once again I want to present to you the original buyer's guide, this time related to the bluetooth-headsets of all stripes, both mono and stereo.

After the holidays would be a lull, people will once again delve into the work, but in the end of May people come to his senses. After summer vacation, renovation, and all that jazz. I hope this article helps you choose the right thing. There is a great desire to write in the May guide to players, but the hand with the last of the material has not changed much. Music phones are dead, then fit just pick any model, let's say, "summer". But the meaning is lost again: earlier this category, I personally attributed tiny but functional device like the Sony Ericsson W880. Now the small functional units are also there, but nothing truly outstanding does not occur. It would be good to guide the joint efforts of cameras, but not in the wording of a specialist at this level. Directly and urge to put a sad smiley. Or come up with something like a guide to the summer gadgets. There may also be protected by cameras, some associated with the warm sea and phones, iPods and other things.

Alas, I can not boast of positive experiences with distribution companies who supply to our country "noneymovye" headset. Actually, in communion with the producers managed to find a common language is not always the case. As an example, recent reviews of headsets Bluetrek - products are extremely weak, with an extremely overpriced, questionable marketing advantage, simply put, a review of one of the products I just started writing because of the fact that the review would be the same as in the case of models Sugar and Sense. Therefore each call from the representatives of these companies gives me some sense of - well, here again, great, will have to explain why the product no.

SMS in BeeLine: little tricks and big "neponyatki" In light of the troubles on June 23 with the upgrade of one of the switches (many in Moscow were left without communications for two to three hours) to write about such "trivialities" such as SMS, even indecent.

These AC & M-Consulting, Moscow Region in June 2004 for many proved to be unexpected. You bet! - The first time in many years, subscriber growth was BeeLine with a minus sign: if you believe the arithmetic, then, within months of leaving the operator more subscribers than the arrival of new. However, not all so simple, in addition to simple arithmetic there is a sly "algebra" of counting the number of active subscribers, plus a "higher mathematics" of intrigue and infighting.

MacBook Pro 13: Trinadtsatidyuymovka "

As I have said many times, despite the external similarity between laptops of Apple, each of them has a lot of features, each is unique. The most balanced solution previously pyatnadtsatidyuymovye MacBook Pro, it concerns and characteristics, and some moments that are not marked characteristics. For example, the Air Series notebooks all good for a man who used to wear a computer with me. But the payoff for miniaturization and lightness - the noise, heat, whether performance, to the extent that at times watching the movie turns into a torment. Excellent piece - trinadtsatidyuymovye new MacBook, but for sure you'll quickly realize that the displays they have not really suitable for multimedia, because black is virtually absent. A semnadtsatidyuymovy MacBook Pro, which is like shouting "Play with me, use all the challenges," "please" you have a problem with the graphics driver under heavy loads. Throughout its nuances, everywhere a compromise that does not detract from the main advantages of laptops from Apple. I will try to briefly enumerate them, because quite often on the forum there are people boldly declare platitudes like: "Yes, pay here is not for that, just design and everything!". This is not true.
