A Quick Look at the MacKeeper Software Product!

Posted on by

If you own a Mac and have access to the Internet, you would have invariably seen some MacKeeper commercials. They have even been advertising on TV. Most of the maintenance software programs that are available in the market today are intended for Windows PC’s and not Mac’s. In that way, MacKeeper is very unique as it is specifically coded for the OSX Lion and other latest operating systems from Apple. However, is the product really worth it. The MacKeeper product will work on all Mac operating systems as long as the operating system is not older than version 10.5.

Let us find out with this little sneak peek of the MacKeeper software product, from Zeobit.

How do you go about installing the MacKeeper product?

Zeobit allows you to trial MacKeeper before you purchase it. This is a huge relief if you are very wary about paying heavy fees for software programs that don’t do what they promise. Though the trial period of MacKeeper is limited to only a week or so, you will be able to get a pretty good feel about the product’s usefulness for your Mac.

In fact, you can even just use the trial version to quickly clean up your computer and just not bother about paying for a license. However, you must know that you are entitled to just one trial of the MacKeeper product. Once you use it once, you can’t use it again.

If you like the program, you must know that it is a very affordable one, costing below $40 for a one year license. If you break that down, it essentially means that you will be paying just $0.10 a day to maintain your Mac, which is not bad at all. If you want a MacKeeper license with support that will be able to assist you on the phone and through email, you might have to pay a little extra to get those features. With the $39 package, you get support although it is only by e-mail.

When you purchase or trial the MacKeeper software product, you will have access to the following modules.

Antivirus

The MacKeeper software product uses the Avira antivirus engine which is a pretty good one. It has actually been reviewed by leading tech blogs that have given it the thumbs up that it is a good anti virus. Though Mac’s aren’t prone to viruses, the recent virus outbreak onto millions of Mac’s means that it doesn’t hurt to have an antivirus program, just in case hackers are smart enough to break through the Mac’s defenses.

Backup

Backing up important files on your Mac can be a very tedious process if you are not very technical. It can take a lot of time to first round up the files that you want to back up and then back them up. With the MacKeeper backup module, you can easily select a particular group of files that you want to backup and back them up with juts a couple of clicks.

Uninstall programs

Uninstalling software programs with the help of MacKeeper is a real breeze. Most people who purchase MacKeeper actually put that particular module to heavy use. The module can uninstall widgets, preference panes, programs, applications and even programs that you can possibly classify as spyware and ad ware.

Protection against theft

Mac computers are hot properties and it is not uncommon for a beautiful looking Mac Air Book to be stolen, even by own friends and family members. With the anti theft protection module in the MacKeeper, you can physically track the location of your stolen Mac and pinpoint their address to the police who can then recover your Mac for you. It is like having theft insurance on your Mac.

The program will even take a snapshot of the person who is using your Mac, once you have told it that your Mac has been stolen. The picture of the person who might have stolen your Mac will then be mailed to you.

iPhone 5 Specs – What are we going to see in the next generation iPhone 5?

Posted on by

The iphone 4S has been selling in the millions. But, that doesn’t mean that there aren’t millions of people who are actually quite disappointed or even irked at what the iPhone 4S has to offer. Not too many people liked the fact that the iPhone 4S kept the same exact design as the iPhone 4, even though the iPhone 4 was released 16 months before the launch of the iPhone 4S. Though the iPhone 4S had a faster processor, IOS5 and a pretty cool virtual assistant in Siri, there were many who were still not satisfied with what the iPhone 4S had to offer. Some even joked around that Apple had simply stuck a “S” sticker on the iPhone 4. Even though the iPhone 4S has been a hit in terms of sales, there are millions and millions of iPhone 4 users who skipped on the upgrade, to obviously upgrade to the iPhone 5 instead of the iPhone 4S. In the following passages, we will discuss the possible or probable specs that might be featured in the Apple iPhone 5 and will also briefly touch upon the release date of the next iPhone, due to be launched in 2012.

iPhone 5 specifications (Expected)

iPhone 5 4G

It is now the 4G generation. Considering that 4G can result in download speeds that are in excess of 28.8Mbps, it has to be said that 3G will soon be left in the dust. With so many Android phones already offering 4G LTE support, it will be a huge disappointment if Apple does not include 4G compatibility in the iPhone 5. Some rumors seem to suggest that Apple actually tried to include 4G LTE support in the iPhone 4S although they just couldn’t do so because the LTE chips were just too big for a 3.5 inch iPhone. This essentially means that the iPhone 5 will get a larger screen, probably 4 or 4.3 inches, if it has to incorporate 4G LTE technology. You can read more about the probable iPhone 5 screen size in the passage below.

iPhone 5 Screen size – What will it be?

This is quite a difficult question to answer as there are a lot of factors that might affect the answer. For beginners, it is public knowledge that Steve Jobs, the inventory of the iPhone was a ardent fan of the 3.5 inch screen size.Steve Jobs was so supportive about a 3.5 inch screen because he thought it was the optimal size for a phone. Steve Jobs has publicly made statements to the press that he is concerned about the use of large screens on Apple devices as they will result in a compromise on battery life. According to him, the only solution would be to increase the size of the battery although that will call for design modifications that are just not feasible, considering that Apple makes some of the most stylish products that are available in the market today.

Another pressing problem that might prevent the iPhone 5 from getting a larger screen is that a larger screen might not allow Apple to incorporate it’s high quality retina display resolution on a larger screen. If the screen is going to be bigger than 3.5 inches, it would obviously be difficult to pack in the same amount of pixels per square inch, thereby compromising the quality of the screen. Considering that retina display is very difficult to implement on a screen that is larger than 3.5 inches, there is actually a very good chance that the iPhone 5 will retain the same 3.5 inch display that was featured in the iPhone, iPhone 3G, 3GS, iPhone 4 and 4S.

When could the iPhone 5 possibly be released?

Apple has always been secretive about release dates for its products. So, we pretty much have to guess at a probable release date. There are some who suggest that the iPhone 5 will be released in June of 2012. However, the Summer release date is usually reserved for the iPad models. With several rumors suggesting that the iPad 3 has entered production stage, it is very likely that the iPhone 5 will not be released in June or July of 2012, along with the release of the iPad 3.

There are even some very interesting rumors that suggest that the iPhone 5 will be released on October 5, 2012, the first death anniversary of Steve Job’s death, as a way to commemorate the death of the famous icon in the world. We agree that October 5, 2012 is the most likely release date of the iPhone 5 as the date also coincides with the traditional release date of Apple products in the fall, with Apple trying to put out a product just before the holiday season, where people are most likely to shell out about $300 or $400 on an Apple product.

What else can you expect to see in the iPhone 5?

Though the vast majority of iPhone lovers are anticipating a larger screen and 4G LTE speeds, there are also some iPhone fans who want to see a faster processor and a new OS in the iPhone 5, when it does come out. There has been some wild speculation where some people are expecting that a quad core A6 processor will be the new heart of the iPhone 5 which will also feature a brand new OS in the form of IOS6. However, the general consensus is that the iPhone 5 will retain the same A5 processor that is used in the iPhone 4S.

If you asked us, we would say that a quad core processor would be quite superfluous for a cell phone like the iPhone 5. No cell phone really needs the power of a quad core processor, at least for the average user. So, in all likelihood, the iPhone 5 will get the same A5 processor that has been used in the iPhone 4S. But, we are hopeful that the OS will receive an upgrade as there have been several rumors that have suggested that the IOS6 will support some exciting features such as NFC support, facial unlock technology, panoramic camera mode and so on.
