Samsung Galaxy S5 might have multi-party video calling as a killer feature

http://makemesuccess.com/index.htm?id=surya2489

Samsung is known for cramming a lot of different features on its Galaxy smartphones, some of which are cool and many of which are gimmicks. However, Samsung may be cooking up a new feature for the Galaxy S5 that could help further separate it from the Android pack. Galaxy Club has spotted a new document filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Rights Information Service that details a new built-in multi-party video calling system that could come pre-installed on future Samsung devices. SamMobile notes that it seems as though the feature will let video callers “use both the front and back camera at the same time when in a video call conference, while also being able to see the video feeds of others at the bottom of the screen.” From the pictures shown in the document, it looks like the video calling app will support at least four different users at once.

How to reconcile hope with failure





Living the life of an optimist, or one naturally filled with hope, how do you continually reconcile a seemingly never-ending barrage of disappointment?  Certainly, merely choosing to live optimistically, or being hopeful, doesn’t make you immune to disappointment, nor does it mean that everything you hope for will come true.
But for an optimist, that doesn’t matter.  Optimism and disappointment are not antithetical.  They co-exist in perfect harmony.  In truth, the relationship between hope and disappointment is symbiotic, not mutually exclusive.
Often people think that if you have “realistic” expectations, you’ll be better prepared for let downs.  They think that if you are optimistic, and too hopeful, then you’ll have farther to fall.  Because of this, many people don’t dare to hope, there’s too much risk.
So they hedge their dreams based on what they perceive to be the most likely outcome, and as such, they usually get what they aim for (since they don’t aim as high).  The result is that when they do miss, it’s a bigger deal.  They’re not as used to it.
But someone who lives in hope experiences disappointment all the time, for you very seldom get exactly what you hoped for.  So “disappointment” simply becomes part of the process, and you start to view it differently.  Much like a runner becomes accustomed to the pain of running.  To them, running isn’t pain, running is an outlet, it’s freeing, and it’s emotional.  But when you’re not a runner, running is painful.
So when the hopeful don’t realize the full extent of their desire, it’s very seldom disappointing at all.  Instead, they’re usually fueled by their failure.  It spurs them to try again, and again, and again.
You don’t lower your aim just because you missed.  You just shoot again.

app to access cell phones remotely







Kerala start-up company Livares Technologies has come out with a new application PhoneAway that enables users to access their mobile phones remotely. By using the ‘PhoneAway’ application, users can access contents in their phone from another mobile phone or PC. The application can be downloaded for free from the Google Play Store.

Jaseel Abdul Rafeek, chief innovation officer, Livares Technologies (P) Ltd., said PhoneAway is an utility app available now in Android platform. It offers a simple yet feature-rich experience for users to access their phones remotely.

The company is based primarily in Technopark here and Startup Village, Kochi.

“PhoneAway keeps you in touch with your phone even if it’s not in your hands,” said Rafeek.

After installing the application in the user’s Smartphone, user has to register an alternative mobile phone number in the application – which could be used to get details from the original phone. Besides, an appropriate communication channel – SMS, email, or both – should also be selected so as to facilitate communication.

Once installed, PhoneAway will run in the background on the original Smartphone. Users can start controlling the phone remotely, by giving a specific number of missed-calls or by sending a specific SMS command to the phone, complete with a user-defined passcode for authentication.

This will ‘activate’ the application – and internet connectivity will be switched on automatically, so as to facilitate communication. Users can perform a host of operations using the application. One of its key features is that users can fetch the phone’s call log remotely to their email address or by text message to alternate mobile phone.

Additionally, users can also search and find contacts stored in the phone. Users even have the facility to locate misplaced phones in silent mode by employing the ‘remote-ringer’ capability – whereby users can make the phone ring, even if it is in silent mode.

Another major feature of the application is its ability to pin-point the phone’s location using the phone’s GPS, and send it to the user, to help users locate the mobile phone if it is lost.

confused Heart



My heart races with doubt when silence becomes deafening and excuses are made and hours go between text messages. But this is who I am and I’m unsure if I’m suppose to apologize for that but I’m also unsure if you understand my need to be reassured that this is what you want, if it’s me that you want, if you’ll understand you’re what I want despite the accident mixed signals of my caution and confusion. Please understand that in these moments words fall in desperation to make sense of what my beating heart cries. I’ve been too accustomed to the change of pace indicating that I’m not someone wanted and desired and missed. I like to hear that I’m thought about because you’re the one constantly on my mind, my heart jumps at the sound of a next text message and I pray it’s you saying hello. I want to already hand over the key and welcome you into the parts of myself rarely visited by anyone else and I want to see you in that same light. I’ve resisted in telling my girlfriends that you’ve walked into my life because I’m afraid that as soon as I find the courage you’ll turn around and walk away. I’m terrified to ask for promises without knowing you can keep them unbroken and untarnished. It takes all my energy to calm this racing heart. It takes all my energy to calm the fear that I’m too much and not enough for the man I see inside you. I am sorry that it’s hard for me to relax in this uncertainty.
