Apple building "low-priced plastic iPhone"

A report into the labour conditions inside Apple's factories appears to have confirmed the existence of a new, low-budget iPhone.

The report, published by China Labor Watch, was intended to shine a light on the working conditions inside the manufacturing plants of Apple's Chinese manufacturing partners, such as Pegatron.

However, as 9to5Mac initially uncovered, it also reveals what employees are working on, including a device that isn't currently in Apple's line-up. "Pegatron primarily assembles cell phones and tablet PCs for Apple," the report states. "Its assembled products include iPhone 4, iPhone 4s, iPhone 5, and low-priced plastic iPhones."\

The report goes on to deliver a case study from a Pegatron worker, who states: "Today’s work is to paste protective film on the iPhone’s plastic back cover to prevent it from being scratched on assembly lines. This iPhone model with a plastic cover will soon be released on the market by Apple."

Apple currently has no plastic-backed handsets in the iPhone range. The iPhone 4 and 4S have a glass back, while the iPhone 5 is clad in aluminium.

Apple has long been rumoured to be preparing a budget iPhone range to compete with Android-based rival Samsung, which now accounts for around a third of the global smartphone market.

$2.5M to put commercials in Facebook News Feed?

The social network reportedly wants advertisers to fork over millions to run a video ad for a day.

Facebook's long-rumored, 15-second video advertisements will debut later this year and cost advertisers as much as $2.5 million for a single-day placement, according to Bloomberg.

High quality, television-like video ads that auto-play in Facebook's News Feed have been rumored since late last year and were supposedly on track for a summer release before being delayed until the fall, according to multiple reports from AdAge.

Now, Bloomberg is claiming that Facebook is asking advertisers for between $1 million and $2.5 million for the privilege of showing the digital commercials to a subset of the social network's audience of 1.15 billion people for a single day. The ads will vary in price depending on how many people advertisers want to reach, but can only be targeted to users based on their age and gender, Bloomberg reported.

A Facebook spokesperson declined to provide comment on the prospect or price of the much buzzed-about video ads.

The initiative is seemingly part of Facebook's desire to court television advertisers with big budgets and supplement its growing mobile business with additional income. The company not-so-subtly suggested that it had lofty TV ambitions in an earnings call with analysts last week. COO Sheryl Sandberg said that, on average, between 88 million and 100 million people in the U.S. are using Facebook during prime time TV-viewing hours.

Should Facebook video ads debut this fall, the social network will find itself in direct competition with Twitter, which is also courting television advertisers with synced in-tweet ads that can be promoted to Twitter users who have watched their broadcast commercials.

Also interesting is that the 15-second length of Facebook's video ads, which has been rumored for months, matches the format of Instagram's brand-new video offering, meaning Facebook may also be laying the ground work to put ads in Instagram's stream

Google Asked To Remove 100 Million Links To “Piracy” Websites In 2013

Since January 2013, Google has received requests to remove more than 100 million links to web pages that are considered to be in breach of copyright laws.

This is proof that publishers are determined to stamp out internet piracy, especially when you consider that the number of requests has doubled compared to 2012.

However critics feel that this approach of removing links is flawed.“As soon as you take down one page another pops up in its place,” says Mark Mulligan, a technology analyst at Midia Consulting. “It’s like playing Whac-A-Mole.”

“This is because file sharing has become very decentralised – there’s no central server you can just shut down.”

The editor of Torrentfreak.com, Ernesto van der Sar said that, “If people want to pirate they can always find a way to do so.”

Since 2012, Google has been publishing all its takedown requests in a Transparency Report. The number of requests has risen sharply, as right holders put the reporting system to its full use.

Most of the website domains are person-to-person file-sharing services, such as Fenopy.eu, extratorrent.com, torrenthound.com, filestube.com and bittorrent.com.

The major copyright owners that make the most takedown requests are the British Recorded Music Industry (BPI), the Recording Industry Association of America and film studios, such as Warner Brothers.

A spokesperson for the BPI said:  “BPI removes around one million links every week to music hosted on the internet without the artist’s knowledge or permission.

“This process is one of many initiatives undertaken by the industry to help to create breathing space for more than 70 legal music services in the UK that strive to promote and reward musicians.”

Piracy Prevention

British internet providers were ordered to block access to EZTV and YIFY Torrents in a UK court ruling last week, after the sites were found to be carrying out internet piracy on a mass scale.

There is an increasing number of web sites that are now blocked to UK web users because they aid piracy. These include the Pirate Bay, Kickass Torrents, H33Y, Fenopy, Movie2K and Download4all.

How To Ans Your Calls By Waving Hand With Air Call Accept

One of the fun air-gesture features of the Samsung Galaxy S4 is called air call-accept, which lets you answer incoming calls by waving your hand over the phone. To give similar functionality to users of other Android phones, an XDA Developers member published a new app called Air Call-Accept.  

          
                          

 XDA Senior Member Williams.Joe developed Air Call-Accept, a free app which—you guessed it—allows you to answer calls without touching the device. As alluded to earlier, this is done by simply waving or coming within the range before the proximity sensor, meaning answering calls is as easy as holding the device next to your ear, as one usually would when speaking on the phone. When trying out Air Call-Accept, please be mindful that certain bugs may be present, as some users have reported that calls are being automatically accepted when the device is in an small enclosed area, such as the pocket or the bag.

Key features:
★ Answer calls
★ Reject calls (Paid version only)
★ Speaker on when answer call (Paid version only)
★ Send SMS when reject call (Paid version only)

You can check detailed info about app here. Air call Accept

How To Play YouTube videos in VLC

VLC is an extremely useful application for watching, recording, and streaming audio and video. And if you didn't know, you can also use it to watch your favorite YouTube videos.

(photo: logos.wikia.com)

The Benefits of Watching YouTube Videos with VLC

The streaming videos will play inside VLC Media Player just like any other local video file while offering some additional benefits not available inside the standard YouTube player. For instance:

1. You can choose Video -> Always on Top inside VLC and the YouTube video window will stick to the foreground while you work on other tasks.
2. Press the Loop button in the player controls and the YouTube video will play non-stop in a loop (also possible with Chrome add-ons).
3. You can change the Playback speed of the YouTube video and make it run slower or faster than the normal speed.
4. Use the Tools -> Take Snapshot option to capture a screenshot image of any frame or scene in the YouTube video.
5. Watch the YouTube videos without the ads. I played a couple of movies and music videos inside VLC and none of them carried any pre-roll ads.

Before you try watching a YouTube video in VLC, make sure that you have the latest version. This can be accomplished by clicking on the Help menu and then selecting "Check for updates." Evidently some of the small changes on YouTube's end can break this feature of VLC, so don't be surprised if you need an update in the future for this to work.

STEP  1 : 

Open VLC Media Player. Go to media → Open Network Stream.. (Press Ctrl+N)

STEP 2:

Go to youtube and find the domain name and video ID of the video. which looks like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjXn3V6DWiI

Paste this link and click play !
