This change prompted me to explore the realm of mid-range phones, and I've discovered some noteworthy advantages that come with this choice.</p><p>Let me start with the Con and then the Pro of this.</p><p>Trade-off from Flagship phone</p><p><b>Slower processor</b></p><p>One noticeable trade-off with mid-range phones is the presence of a slightly slower processor. While this might cause occasional performance lags, it's not a deal-breaker for the average user. In fact, the reduced computational power seems to contribute to improved battery efficiency—an aspect I've come to appreciate.</p><p><b>Camera Performance and Resolution</b></p><p>Mid-range phones do exhibit a slight compromise in camera resolution and video recording capabilities. As someone passionate about phone photography, I did notice a difference in sharpness and video lag. However, these concessions are justifiable given the budget-conscious nature of mid-range devices.</p><div><div><b>Absence of Wireless Charging</b></div><div>One trade-off I encountered was the absence of wireless charging in mid-range models. While this meant my wireless charger became obsolete, it was a trade-off I could accept. The improved battery life of the mid-range device reduced the need for constant charging.</div></div><p>Now for the Pro</p><p><b>Better battery life</b></p><p>The enhanced battery life of mid-range phones surprised me. It made me question the decision to sacrifice a 5000mAh capacity for the sake of a lighter flagship device. The prolonged usage offered by a higher capacity battery proved to be a significant advantage.</p><p><b>Revival of External SD Storage</b></p><p>Never underestimate the need of having all my data stored on an external SD Card. Storing data on an external card made transfers across various platforms convenient and hassle-free. Just because the flagship model wants you to pay more for capacity, removing such freedom is a SIN. </p><p><b>Cost-Effectiveness</b></p><p>One of the most compelling aspects of mid-range phones is their affordability. The prospect of a replacement, should the device face an issue within the first two years, is far less daunting. Investing over $1k in a flagship phone only to encounter a problem can be financially burdensome. In contrast, obtaining a mid-range phone that offers 70% of the flagship's capabilities at 60% of the price is a practical and economical choice.</p><p>In summary, there's a limit to how much consumers are willing to pay for a mobile phone. Balancing durability and functionality, shelling out more than $1k for a device becomes an excessive demand. </p><p>Consumers have the option to wait for better value, and if it's not perceived or affordable, they'll exercise patience.</p><p>What your thoughts on this?

matters in printing quality<p>Here is some of my sharing on experience in regards to printing in general of what play a part in regard to printing quality. </p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> <img alt="What matters in Printing Quality" border="0" data-original-height="289" data-original-width="537" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-g3OQ9eZrB-8/YR3STDaCpoI/AAAAAAAAZXc/tNtICkhWkH8kpPlsO-kjavc3inConnWIgCLcBGAsYHQ/s0/whatmatters.jpg" /> </div>
<p>Generally speaking there are 2 elements in play and both goes hand in hand. The medium that receive the printing (Paper stock / Card) and the medium that transfer the needed information to the receiver (Ink / Dye)</p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">Transfer Medium (Ink or Dye)</span></b></p>
<p>Depend what time of printing method your machine is using you will have different medium. Normally when you purchase a printing machine, the same company would already recommend certain type of ink you should use with the machine. Most of the time the company that made the machine sell their ink supply as well. It is always good to use what the machine manufacturer recommend in order to get a certain expected result.</p><p>Basically there are 2 in the market which are <b>Dye-based ink</b> and <b>Pigmented ink</b>.</p>
<p><br /><b>Dye-Based </b>ink which is synthetic or natural dye is dissolved in water and solvent to give the colour need. <br />
This generally work well with paper medium as it is less reflective of light which give richer colours. <br />
The downside is such medium very much affected by environment overtime which you will see color fading due to UV exposure and other element of nature such as humidity.</p><p> <br /><b>Pigmented ink </b>which are resin based mixed with other solvents. The printing method is more intense as you are transferring this ink over the surface of the printed medium.<br />
Once transferred, it will stay there longer than Dye as the Pigmented ink is more stubborn that is water resistance and against UV light. At such this ink cost more than Dye-based.<br /></p><p>Regardless of the above ink / Dye, these are the factors measured on how such medium is measured as the following:</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><b>
Colorimetric</b> which is how the color is being by the ratio of what type of ink and other soluble to give you certain colors. </li><li><b>UV Resistance </b>which is how well the ink or dye react against UV light exposure as over a period of time the color content of the dye will break down.</li><li><b>
Water resistance </b>is how the ink or dye react when in contact with water which include humility or rain.</li><li><b>
Drying time </b>is when the ink or dye is transferred and exposed to the air, how long does it take the liquid to dry. If the period is longer, it will result in the ink moving to other places where it not suppose to go such as bleeding. If the ink is easily dry, it could mean if there there is air going into the cartridge, how fast will it dry up. </li></ul><p></p><p>Do note that the medium of ink or dye do have certain risk of being flammable or potentially irritant to human when handling in certain circumstances. <br />
<br /></p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">Receiver Medium (Paper / Card)</span></b></p><p>This medium play one of the major part has the quality of the print count by the absorbance rate and the retention of the transfer medium (ink / Dye). However in the real world there will not be specs of the rate of absorbance and retention because that very much also depend the compatibility with the transfer medium (ink / Dye). </p><p><b>Absorbance </b></p><p>This is how well this medium can absorb the transferred ink or dye to itself at the given time of printing. How well the ink / dye is allow to penetrate as the ink / dye touch the medium surface. Having good absorbance is preferred but not always the case as too much absorbance will allow ink to go where it not suppose to go and when ink go in as a dot to pixel it need to be in that dot dimension. If the dot is bigger as it suppose to be it will have the image having blur than sharp printing regardless of the printer DPI.</p><p><b>Retention</b></p><p>When the printing is done, it is just the beginning as after a certain period of time what happen to the ink or dye in the paper? Will it stay at the same location or if given in certain environment will the printed content be transfer to another medium it contact with for a certain period of time? Example like you rub your finger on the printed content like newspaper, will the ink move on to the surface? How much will it move over and how intense you need to rub it for that to happen? </p><p><b>Matt or Gloss </b><b>Surface </b></p><p>You maybe thinking why I have added this surface because this have very much in play on the presentation to your eyes. This is like when you wanted to print a photo, normally you will be given a choice to be printed on Matt or Gloss medium. This purely is on the medium and nothing to do with the printing machine. Even if both paper absorbance and retention are the same and printed with the same ink and DPI, you will see the printed photo differently. </p><p><b>Uneven Surface </b></p><p>When doing printing it is important the medium that is printing on need to be even surface. Any unevenness will result in printing quality inconsistency because the dye will be apply consistency on the surface and if there is bump or a dip, the printing could be off or the dye apply could be lesser or more intense at that instant. </p><p><b>Whiteness degree of the Canvas</b></p><p>If you talk about color printing, the whiteness of the canvas play equally an important part as how the the end result. Imagine you print on a white and whiter canvas, you would see the different tone of colors defer even you are using the same printer setting and dye level. </p><p>With the information above, I hope it give you more understanding on how each of these factor play a part of your printing. </p><p>Remember not all printing with the same setting give you the same result. The quality of the medium play a part if you want consistence printing.</p><p>If you find the above useful give a like. share or comment.

Many have been tired of this new normal and wanted life to just go back as before. </p><p>Vaccination seems to be the nearest answer or the only choice to get us back there. We also learned that as number of infection increases, the virus get an "upgrade" as that is natural law of organism.</p><p><b>Same Same but Different</b></p><p>Today there are a couple of <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/variants/variant.html" target="_blank">variants of the same Covid-19</a> and these variant came from the same region and location and thus was first given the country name. Not pointing in any particular region specifically, we can see the virus evolved in that region due to factor like genes pool and community environment of the host. As the number increased of the similar gene pool, the virus get that "upgrade" as they learned how to deal with that gene pool. </p><p>If we looked into the <a href="https://www.livescience.com/worst-epidemics-and-pandemics-in-history.html" target="_blank">history of pandemic</a>, we can see the genes of a community and location play a big part of history. </p><p>So that comes to a question what if the virus stay at a certain location for a long period of time, what will happen? </p><p>When some human survived and some passed on perhaps the herd immunity will happen as the virus reside in that location and get less effective. For that time is a factor and do we give it that long period of time to do so?</p><p><br /></p><p><b>When Host move, Virus follow</b></p><p>Never in history of time we see a virus evolved in such a short time to so many people. This happen because we have come to an age that in the span of 24 hours we can be at the opposite side of the world. </p><p>Yes air travel be it for business or Pleasure. So much so that many take this privilege's as an entitlement.</p><p>Was a the fabric of society built on purely trade or tourism? </p><p>Or is it because of globalization we can find cheaper source and have maximum profit? </p><p>Only during this pandemic period we can see what is essential to us </p><p><br /></p><p><b>Choice of Vaccination</b></p><p>The society have been divided with the choice of Vaccination. We witnessed two extreme from "Should I trust in vaccination?" to the other end of witch hunting those who are not vaccinated that shamed and labeled them as selfish individual. </p><p>Even when you decided to get on board on vaccination, you have to choose which vaccine you want to take and which is more effective one which further divided the society of their conviction. </p><p>Nonetheless vaccination is still a personal choice but do we care enough to respect on individual like their choice of religion? Or are we like "you can believe in any religion is fine but you must have a religion as a human being". </p><p>If what you just read give you some excitement to react to, that is very much on the topic of one believe in vaccination as well. </p><p>Finally the fact of being an vaccinated induvial do not mean you wont get sick (you still need to take medical leave and feel horrible) from the virus and you would still spread the virus as you are the host.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Mind our Steps</b></p><p>I guess the helpless part of this pandemic is not what we can stop the virus movement in the light of "open their economy". This would be a circle as every new travel is a new opportunity for getting the virus and spreading it. </p><p>Till then we have to look out for ourselves and watch our feet where we go.

<br />
While we are socially finding reason to be "Green", one must rethink how could we take steps to adopt a less plastic lifestyle.<br />
<br />
<img border="0" data-original-height="313" data-original-width="550" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-g6ir8ihyEbc/W44tOFgamFI/AAAAAAAAV9M/wd3_RCztHtIf8bGYFTqhRGnOXvJ2SRLGwCLcBGAs/s1600/plasticIssueN01.jpg" />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>No Straws</b></span><br />
Recently KFC no straw have cause inconvenience as the KFC customers went to the extend to get straw at a Kopitiam outlet. That in return trigger <a href="https://mothership.sg/2018/09/kopitiam-kfc-straw/">Kopitiam to put on notice for KFC customer not to go over to take the plastic straw</a>.<br />
<br />
I had my first hand experience of No straw movement by KFC just last weekend when I ordered a meal with a large drink. The big paper cup filled with Ice and beverages was really difficult to drink as the paper cup was soft without the plastic cover. One must balance the drink without squeezing to deform the cup. If that is a challenging to an adult, how about children diner? Things would be easier if they would provide a firmer cup that actually hold the volume of the drink.<br />
<br />
Also the cup cover of KFC was design for straws with the opening on the center. If it is not to use with straw but by slipping, why not change the cover to slipping one that would be at ease? <br />
<img border="0" data-original-height="243" data-original-width="550" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5qDZ3-VB3jM/W486ecMCtCI/AAAAAAAAV9Y/lZpuncJBHTAuIyPXGSxCAzXA_8W0fqWswCLcBGAs/s1600/plasticIssueN02.jpg" />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://q102sf.radio.com/blogs/starbucks-replacing-plastic-straws-wtih-new-strawless-lid">Starbucks have that!</a> Learn from them! Obviously this is not properly thought thru for a business.<br />
<br />
Fruit for thoughts tho, how would the plastic sipping cover more environment friendly compare to plastic straw?<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Plastic bag wastage</b></span><br />
Another long debate about Singaporean uses lot of Plastic bag and businesses want to charge plastic bag.<br />
<br />
First of all, there are many grade of plastic bag. IKEA have been doing charging for biodegradable plastic bag for years and they too charge customer for it. So what is the big deal?<br />
<br />
Most of <a href="https://www.nea.gov.sg/our-services/waste-management/overview">Singapore trashed are going to incineration </a>which mean burning and plastic bag type of plastic would be gone.<br />
<br />
Cut the chase short. Business can provide Paper bag (with lamination). Those are also recyclable and green too!<br />
<br />
Don't get me wrong, I am all for going green. But if business intention is to cut cost but want to show off being Green and point fingers to consumer to blame, then it is really bad for you as a business owner. End of the day, business owner have a choice. Customer only choose what you have to offer.<br />
<br />
Everyone need to think deeper than this.<br />
<br />

There are 4 of them in this series appealing to different type of G-Shock lovers.<br />
<img border="0" data-original-height="349" data-original-width="798" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BoEvVOeOXY4/W4d4X_cLg_I/AAAAAAAAV7c/j8z8X89oD2cRDRU_GqSNmxu4RtaJAZbAACLcBGAs/s1600/casio35GlacierGoldN00.jpg" width="550" /><br />
<br />
<br />
The more Shiny gold plated are with the DW-5035E-7 and DW-5735E-7. These 2 model are the classic digital interface of Casio in the digital days. The bezels and bands of both watches are having a straight clear look.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xvme9Te99Rg/W4d4XYM0VZI/AAAAAAAAV7Y/KuC1aLEHHUob1U1I5PBkP_rj3Y_GwUftwCLcBGAs/s1600/casio35GlacierGoldN01.jpg" />
<br />
<br />
GA-735E-7A GA-835E-7A would appeal to people who like to see the hands of the clock with analog look. However the color of the Gold would be more to rose gold theme with the bezel and band more translucent looking.<br />
<br />
On photo they look amazing. Have to see the actual watch which would be out in September 2019 in Japan.<br />
<br />
Can't wait to see the actual watch before deciding to get one or not.<br />
<br />

When I open my Photoshop, I released the icons become too small as currently Monitor were made in higher resolution.<br />
<br />
The root cause is that application while designed on Windows was in actual DPI. Since the screen was set to higher DPI, the icons and the windows of the application were scale to higher DPI as well.<br />
<br />
Thankfully Windows 10 have a quick solution to correct that.<br />
<br />
Here are the step.<br />
<br />
1. Right click on your desktop and select <b>Display Setting</b>.<br />
<img border="0" data-original-height="266" data-original-width="456" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BqMY2ueCPeo/Wsrb2u-hdkI/AAAAAAAAUzI/yOTKML6sMDUowHk33lm2zJdKX8lUAKP7ACLcBGAs/s1600/photoshopscaling01.jpg" /><br />
<br />
At the Display screen, select the screen that is having that issue (assuming you have more than 1 monitor). Go under <b>Scale and layout</b> as that is for your application resolution was set to 100%. You can set to 125% or 150% and you can instantly see the windows application change on bigger icons.<br />
<img border="0" data-original-height="532" data-original-width="550" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QxdqvbPhTi8/Wsrb2jJwf7I/AAAAAAAAUzA/Vwjxor2Sbn0HMvLLYc9FsWrEplJ2GVHYgCLcBGAs/s1600/photoshopscaling03.jpg" /><br />
<br />
If that is still not enough, you may click on custom to set your resolution for the App.<br />
<br />
Do note currently this scaling apply to all application. There is no custom application scaling (although that would be useful). However that should resolve your icon for windows in the application being too small.<br />
<br />
Below are real scale of the icon scaling. The right is a bigger scale that was how it was suppose to be before I upgrade my PC.<br />
<br />

<br />
If you find this useful, drop a comment, share this to your friends who need it.<br />
<br />
This solution also work for Windows Office application and such.<br />
<br />
Stay tune for more useful tips!<br />

Here are some guide of using Carousell on the Buyer or shopper point of view. We will focus more of the mobile Apps as well as some behavior to look out for. <br />
<img border="0" data-original-height="233" data-original-width="550" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Qn0UdDxjNKw/WscAtJFD8PI/AAAAAAAAUx0/p41g0vGB4fAapRUQfJZf8ek8iQ63UBwvwCLcBGAs/s1600/Carousell_00.jpg" width="550" /><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Browse around</span><br />
First you have to decide are you looking for a specific item or just look around. It is alright to browse around but word of advice is to do that in Wi-Fi mode. Of course such browsing may ended up buying some stuff. <br />
<br />
If you have something in mind, just type the item in the search box and narrow your search by selected related categories. <br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Like Not for the sake of Liking</span><br />
In Carousell, buyer have 3 option to interact for each item. There are <b>Heart</b>, <b>Chat</b> and <b>Make Offer</b> function. <br />
<br />
<b>Chat </b>is for you to ask questions related about the items and collection. If you want to try lowing the price, you can try here but put yourself in the seller shoe how would you feel if someone "low ball" you.<br />
<br />
<b>Make offer</b> is giving your offer price to seal the deal. Personally I would really encourage you offer the seller price in their listing and not to use this function to bargain. Should you really want to bargain, use the Chat function. It is rude to give unreasonable offer without any conversation before hand.<br />
<br />
I will focus on the<b> Heart </b>or in my case I call it<b> Like</b> indicated below photo..<br />
<img border="0" data-original-height="125" data-original-width="550" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-38grTk1-grs/WscFJMGpBjI/AAAAAAAAUyk/DOCrF3ofTj8mou3rZH23pI1aOe-h0I-DQCLcBGAs/s1600/Carousell_01.jpg" /><br />
<br />
<br />
This Like / Heart function is really for you to mark the listing so you can go back to it later.<br />
<br />
If some time later you want to check it out again, you can go to the Heart icon (see below picture)<br />
<img border="0" data-original-height="236" data-original-width="550" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SvDVl5xz7gc/WscAuB7PxoI/AAAAAAAAUyE/i5S9DP_joW07qSSvDQ_52Vo95p5U7tSxgCLcBGAs/s1600/Carousell_05.jpg" /><br />
<br />
Do not blindly Like items when you are browsing because it served no other purpose except marking your interest to follow the items.<br />
<br />
If you want to get back to your history conversation with the buyer or seller, click on the dialogue bumble icon (see below picture)<br />
<img border="0" data-original-height="236" data-original-width="550" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-I9OBFSTU6ZI/WscAt9093_I/AAAAAAAAUyA/o-QOSWaHmgExaIJdimeg0L8JRyxbuNZ3gCLcBGAs/s1600/Carousell_04.jpg" /><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Know who you are buying from</span><br />
If you seen some good that is too good to be true, you may want to know who is the buyer and his history.<br />
<br />
Select the buyer of the item and you would see his user feedback, how responsive is he in asking inquiry posted to him and also is this a confirm working account.<br />
<br />
<img border="0" data-original-height="327" data-original-width="550" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uWYYVqbzKQ0/WscAtZxWDDI/AAAAAAAAUx4/HzbJCWZP6o4djposx42v3Ht06yNGT_wSQCLcBGAs/s1600/Carousell_03.jpg" /><br />
<br />
You can further see the history of the user. You may want to focus his feedback as a seller so you know if what and how he sell his stuff are they alright.<br />
<br />
<img border="0" data-original-height="385" data-original-width="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-b_Y6AUi6m2Q/WscAtd-9fSI/AAAAAAAAUx8/nEZ05FbHDaIx-XCOwgeXG3LycA3CqD7VgCLcBGAs/s1600/Carousell_02.jpg" /><br />
<br />
If you seen some bad history, then it is up to you to think should you want to ahead with the transaction.<br />
<br />
Trust your Gut feeling. If you think something is still a miss, then do not proceed with the offer and dealing. There is never great offer that you will missed. Most of the time better offer will come our way.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Report if you need to as it is FREE</span><br />

<br />
So here are just simple advise and tips for new shopper using Carousell.<br />
<br />Do keep in mind that in Carousell, anyone can be a seller and they may not be running it as a business but just to clear some stuff out. So do not expect "Customer Service".<br />

Instead of a living pet like Dogs or Cats, there is an alternative for those who are green fingers (plant lover).<br />
<img border="0" data-original-height="267" data-original-width="550" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7VGOH0lh8PY/Wrx91FE1ZeI/AAAAAAAAUsc/5WRj6Gg2w9QiZ59fFnArNUjXeg01SXfswCLcBGAs/s1600/tdkbonsaiN00.jpg" />
<br />
<br />
TDK is working on the concept of a living plant with art and technology and named it as BonsAI.<br />
<br />
Here are what BonsAI functionality<br />
<br />
<b>Hold conversations</b><br />
You can consult BonsAI about your problems, it can give tips from the extensive knowledge derived from various times and places.
<br />
<br />
<b>Basking in the sun</b><br />
BonsAI during the day time will move itself to search of sunlight. When it reaches a sunlit area, it expresses the comfort of sunbathing by lighting up LEDs.<br />
<br />
<b>Asking for water</b><br />
When the soil is dry, BonsAI approaches water and will request people to water it.<br />
<br />
Here are various sensors on BonsAI
<br />
<ul>
<li>Soil sensor: A sensor that measures the aridity of dirt.</li>
<li>Camera: A miniature camera installed on the front as a small “eye” for movement control.</li>
<li>LED: An LED panel that expresses the feelings of the BonsAI.</li>
<li>Speaker: A miniature speaker for conversations between the BonsAI and people.</li>
<li>9–axis sensor: One of TDK’s central technologies, a 9–axis sensor, used to achieve stable walking control.</li>
<li>Film solar cell: A shapeable TDK film solar cell used as a power supply and illuminance sensor.</li>
<li>Wireless electricity supply: A wireless electricity supply device made by TDK which makes things free from cables for charging.</li>
<li>Base: Tiny condensers and inductors that are loaded on each piece inside the BonsAI, including the micro computer that controls driving and conversation. Because it contains condensed TDK–made electric components, these cute–looking bonsai weighs over 20kg.</li>
</ul>
And here is the video of BansAI in action.<br />
<iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/h8j835HM6cI" width="560"></iframe><br />
<br />
Such technology would more serving on human psychology to ease their stress or loneliness. Of course the data would be from internet source depending on what and how the BansAI search for quotes.
<br />
<br />
No news of the actual release as of now but certainly something useful in time to come. <br />
<br />
What do you think of this concept?<br />

<br />
<img border="0" data-original-height="298" data-original-width="550" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ec5sz363zhQ/Wl8X0QNoBuI/AAAAAAAAT8k/ZfXdQ9is0CkW0WAPNEu5zS_1YFBdALvIQCLcBGAs/s1600/youtub18.jpg" /><br />
<br />
An email would be sent to YouTube channel owners if they failed to meet the requirement so far. So what is the new requirement for monetization?<br />
<br />
The new threshold of<b> 4,000 hours of watchtime within the past 12 months </b>and having at least <b>1,000 subscribers</b> or more.<br />
<br />
The rules will kick in on February 20, 2018.<br />
<br />
If you still did not meet that will be terminated from the YouTube Partner Program losing all access to all monetization tools and features associated with the YouTube Partner Program.<br />
<br />
If somewhere down the line the new threshold is met, it will then to be reviewed to make sure it adheres to our policies and guidelines, and if so, monetization will be re-enabled.<br />
<br />
<b>The Ideal Math</b><br />
Taken to the account what was communicated, I did a calculation of the following in the ideal situation.<br />
<br />
4000 hours x 60 = 240000 mins<br />
240000 mins / 1000 subscribers = 240 mins for each subscribers for 12 months<br />
240 min / 60 = 4 Hours<br />
4 hours / 12 months = 0.33 hours viewing per month per subscriber<br />
0.33 hr x 60 min = 19.8 mins round up 20 mins per video<br />
<br />
Above the minimum but how do you get subscribers that is 1000?<br />
<br />
<div>
It is not confirm the qualification apply on the monthly basis or not. So if one month your view is lower, the total of 12 months may drop less than 4000 hours view. </div>
<br />
<b>Quality and Timeless Content</b><br />
It is a challenge to product quality content consistently as regular view as most YouTube content is more like news and sort. Over time the content may not be view as much.<br />
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>How much can YouTuber earn now </b></div>
<div>
The main question we need to ask is if we meet the requirement, how much will you earn per month for 4000 hours of viewing per month? Maybe it would just be a few dollars and it is really worth it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Do what you Like now</b></div>
<div>
Since the bar is set high now, the question current YouTuber will ask will they play the game, Call quit or do what you like.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you are doing for interest, then you may no longer need to be concern for copyrights content as previously monetization have some strict requirements. It is a open field to produce whatever you like but how to get the viewers, you have to do most of the work. Is that worth it then?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
How do you feel about the new YouTube monetization requirement? </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

I cannot believe it these are still on sales.<br />
<br />
It is FujiFilm disposable Camera!<br />
<br />
These was spotted at a departmental store at one corner. Apparently FujiColor edition disposable camera is a limited edition for their 30th Anniversary edition!<br />
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-evop09crpGo/Whu-Tdd7pGI/AAAAAAAATKQ/YEhbo5AbyuYalB3rpgMJJIsKRLBQNDj7ACLcBGAs/s1600/FujiJapCam03.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="650" data-original-width="463" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-evop09crpGo/Whu-Tdd7pGI/AAAAAAAATKQ/YEhbo5AbyuYalB3rpgMJJIsKRLBQNDj7ACLcBGAs/s1600/FujiJapCam03.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
It comes with FujiColor film loaded inside with flash and batteries. It comes with 27 film roll! I was so tempted to get one of it since it was 980 Yen.... Not too sure when this is send to develop will I still get to keep the shell. Thus I gave it a missed.<br />
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-W7YtWN3DfLc/Whu-TS36OgI/AAAAAAAATKI/8coPu7_clKoV15k4UYnelSh5VYc0UqJvQCLcBGAs/s1600/FujiJapCam01.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="383" data-original-width="550" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-W7YtWN3DfLc/Whu-TS36OgI/AAAAAAAATKI/8coPu7_clKoV15k4UYnelSh5VYc0UqJvQCLcBGAs/s1600/FujiJapCam01.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
On the shelves there are other FujiFilm disposable Camera selling at 680 Yen.<br />
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0tgtLv7JEJM/Whu-UMFvUaI/AAAAAAAATKU/FGuLP0qjzFIu53U6mHD7iO6O_Pamh3D2QCLcBGAs/s1600/FujiJapCam04.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="342" data-original-width="550" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0tgtLv7JEJM/Whu-UMFvUaI/AAAAAAAATKU/FGuLP0qjzFIu53U6mHD7iO6O_Pamh3D2QCLcBGAs/s1600/FujiJapCam04.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
And all the way by itself, I spotted a ILFORD Black & White Camera selling at 1,540 Yen. Apparently Black & White film are more costly...<br />
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-j7p-nYnwn_8/Whu-TSB78-I/AAAAAAAATKM/F7wUgXFXBc491bm51VQWZ356KCLX4DCCACLcBGAs/s1600/FujiJapCam02.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="413" data-original-width="550" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-j7p-nYnwn_8/Whu-TSB78-I/AAAAAAAATKM/F7wUgXFXBc491bm51VQWZ356KCLX4DCCACLcBGAs/s1600/FujiJapCam02.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Not too sure how long actual film going to be in the market but apparently there are photographer who prefer Film than digital.<br />
<br />
What do you think of Film and Digital?<br />
<br />

<br />
Finally after years of being in the internet business, Google is rolling out <a href="https://domains.google.com/">Google Domain.</a> (currently in BETA)<br />
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-opiHz36WEjA/Whu-4agQR3I/AAAAAAAATKc/n3Suz9dKWE8TAZsy0TGsBlwtqqH7Vp5rgCLcBGAs/s1600/googledomain.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="201" data-original-width="550" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-opiHz36WEjA/Whu-4agQR3I/AAAAAAAATKc/n3Suz9dKWE8TAZsy0TGsBlwtqqH7Vp5rgCLcBGAs/s1600/googledomain.jpg" /></a>
<br />
<br />
It offers privacy of who is for free and Google analytic to be in the service as well. Google do provide it's good security and you can have subdomain and up to 100 email for your domain name! You can read more of the feature at <a href="https://domains.google.com/about/features.html">the following link</a><br />
<br />
For a .com it is priced at USD$12.00. You may see <a href="https://support.google.com/domains/answer/6010092?hl=en">other pricing of domain at the following link</a>.<br />
<br />
The downside is currently it is only open to US resident address or anyone having a US credit card.<br />
<br />
There are currently no plan that this will be open up to other part of the world but I am hopeful if Google can do it soon.<br />
<br />

<br />
The device came in a white rectangle box with nothing much on it.<br />

<br />
The headphone comes in a well soft foam box with the headphone in it .<br />

<br />
Interesting you would notice the cable was not fixed fitted on the headphone. For the left it is in White while the other was Red.<br />
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-roM_KESMGt0/Whu_jWSQNlI/AAAAAAAATK8/0rKF7SjOprU3Pfq9y1xaCLqAwhxvfhwrwCLcBGAs/s1600/miheadphone06.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="512" data-original-width="550" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-roM_KESMGt0/Whu_jWSQNlI/AAAAAAAATK8/0rKF7SjOprU3Pfq9y1xaCLqAwhxvfhwrwCLcBGAs/s1600/miheadphone06.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
You may want to notice it comes with a volume control with a mic in it.<br />
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IscaSp6Cprk/Whu_jZzrRKI/AAAAAAAATLA/kBLoyteZr9sm-X_lHDTCL-plsAsFcu6BgCLcBGAs/s1600/miheadphone07.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="469" data-original-width="550" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IscaSp6Cprk/Whu_jZzrRKI/AAAAAAAATLA/kBLoyteZr9sm-X_lHDTCL-plsAsFcu6BgCLcBGAs/s1600/miheadphone07.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
The headphone allow folding for simple storage on the go...<br />

<br />
The top of the hanger are made of soft leather looking that give good cushion of the weight of this headphone.<br />
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IivLQiKqi9g/Whu_jrlnKRI/AAAAAAAATLE/n9fdeV5SIVgXWkvyFpIpQEP5ycd5i07yQCLcBGAs/s1600/miheadphone08.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="413" data-original-width="550" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IivLQiKqi9g/Whu_jrlnKRI/AAAAAAAATLE/n9fdeV5SIVgXWkvyFpIpQEP5ycd5i07yQCLcBGAs/s1600/miheadphone08.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
It offer good coverage adapter like the twin that used on airline while the bigger one is more on Audio Hifi .<br />
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kYG6uzrOqVA/Whu_hv7FtYI/AAAAAAAATKo/o8NL4rvRPOgUzLGCOlXpMdYeke69uOQCwCLcBGAs/s1600/miheadphone03.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="396" data-original-width="550" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kYG6uzrOqVA/Whu_hv7FtYI/AAAAAAAATKo/o8NL4rvRPOgUzLGCOlXpMdYeke69uOQCwCLcBGAs/s1600/miheadphone03.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
All you need to do is simply insert the cable in color coded. <br />
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yHfymx-iLx4/Whu_jzzE8JI/AAAAAAAATLI/d_8GbERizPUKlLUvQqBkPKnk-U2jsjgfwCLcBGAs/s1600/miheadphone09.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="235" data-original-width="546" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yHfymx-iLx4/Whu_jzzE8JI/AAAAAAAATLI/d_8GbERizPUKlLUvQqBkPKnk-U2jsjgfwCLcBGAs/s1600/miheadphone09.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
If you wondering how would you tell the left or right, the wording was applied on the headphone cushion. <br />
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GeP0UttKVCg/Whu_kM2CpvI/AAAAAAAATLM/motd_F29w_kYJWQGlzhn_UCu9FPeDJ3dgCLcBGAs/s1600/miheadphone10.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="393" data-original-width="550" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GeP0UttKVCg/Whu_kM2CpvI/AAAAAAAATLM/motd_F29w_kYJWQGlzhn_UCu9FPeDJ3dgCLcBGAs/s1600/miheadphone10.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
This is an open headphone which mean if you play loud enough, what you are hearing.<br />
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Y3VEyPzX7YI/Whu_lH50y7I/AAAAAAAATLc/3EfClvAGet4ypQMx__WCd8rhb2aLGAlDQCLcBGAs/s1600/miheadphone15.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="679" data-original-width="550" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Y3VEyPzX7YI/Whu_lH50y7I/AAAAAAAATLc/3EfClvAGet4ypQMx__WCd8rhb2aLGAlDQCLcBGAs/s1600/miheadphone15.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
There a number of option for the ear cushion. which you can turned the accessories.<br />
<br />
Here is how the naked speaker look like. <br />
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5ntDqfcyiyc/Whu_kfDlivI/AAAAAAAATLQ/-_CeJXOzJdM-NfgmnxpO6Qlh1SFf5pjAQCLcBGAs/s1600/miheadphone12.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="411" data-original-width="550" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5ntDqfcyiyc/Whu_kfDlivI/AAAAAAAATLQ/-_CeJXOzJdM-NfgmnxpO6Qlh1SFf5pjAQCLcBGAs/s1600/miheadphone12.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
With that you can replace it to a sponge cushion...<br />
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sX34uRvgsmw/Whu_ldzzLXI/AAAAAAAATLg/sIgxRDh2wDUUhXl-pPWYzDcjcEypz6PuQCLcBGAs/s1600/miheadphone16.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="346" data-original-width="550" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sX34uRvgsmw/Whu_ldzzLXI/AAAAAAAATLg/sIgxRDh2wDUUhXl-pPWYzDcjcEypz6PuQCLcBGAs/s1600/miheadphone16.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Fitting the headphone with sponge cushion is good but I prefer the original that come with it as I find it too hard and after long period of wearing it get heavier....<br />
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rSxSuxUoO4M/Whu_ltxB9GI/AAAAAAAATLk/btTIhxi8bOky9cuYRjcridIDJsRMv0yOACLcBGAs/s1600/miheadphone17.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="413" data-original-width="550" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rSxSuxUoO4M/Whu_ltxB9GI/AAAAAAAATLk/btTIhxi8bOky9cuYRjcridIDJsRMv0yOACLcBGAs/s1600/miheadphone17.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
It also come with the over ear option which cut out most of noises and seems comfortable initially....<br />
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1CYMHfqalqY/Whu_k3ds3MI/AAAAAAAATLU/lpD8-E9PMAscLPc6TOxrR_m2rGyL9TA1wCLcBGAs/s1600/miheadphone13.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="373" data-original-width="550" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1CYMHfqalqY/Whu_k3ds3MI/AAAAAAAATLU/lpD8-E9PMAscLPc6TOxrR_m2rGyL9TA1wCLcBGAs/s1600/miheadphone13.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
After an hour wearing this option, I find the temperature of the ears is increasing and I have let it air for awhile.<br />
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FH3ToLSpF3I/Whu_k_M0vgI/AAAAAAAATLY/nt0A0Wq0rKYcbQJhElRuhqjAKdnw72r8wCLcBGAs/s1600/miheadphone14.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="396" data-original-width="550" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FH3ToLSpF3I/Whu_k_M0vgI/AAAAAAAATLY/nt0A0Wq0rKYcbQJhElRuhqjAKdnw72r8wCLcBGAs/s1600/miheadphone14.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
For the price of SGD $119 this headphone I find it worth it as the sound quality is good.<br />

<br />
It was short lived when I read further that feature of Remote play only for Sony Android phone. However that don't seems to be the case for now.<br />
<br />
The latest Remote play APK can be download at the <a href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/ps4-remote-play-t2929147">following link</a> allow most of the Android 4.2 to 4.4 devices to have this feature of remote play. I have try it on my Non-rooted Android phone and it works!<br />
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oQvyOmckfuM/Whu_rFNKFrI/AAAAAAAATLs/tbROxnF_oNsDu-ClEVoJ5NR2OBfQgG05ACLcBGAs/s1600/ps4remotep02.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="348" data-original-width="550" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oQvyOmckfuM/Whu_rFNKFrI/AAAAAAAATLs/tbROxnF_oNsDu-ClEVoJ5NR2OBfQgG05ACLcBGAs/s1600/ps4remotep02.jpg" /></a>

<br />
The speed of the smoothness very much depend on your internet connectivity of your PS4 and your mobile phone. I original thought the connection was direct in a local network but I was wrong. What it does was the Android phone connect the PS4 thru the world wide web (internet).<br />
<br />
That mean you can be away from home and still connect your PS4. I have not try playing any game thru the app as I know my connectivity seems unstable on my end.<br />
<br />
It kind of missed my expectation like the connectivity should be more of the intranet so the speed is faster and anyone can play at home when someone want to watch the TV while you are playing.<br />

<br />
I am not certain how beneficial this App is if it did go thru the internet or other gateway that may reduce the speed.<br />
<br />
You may try it out and see if that fit your need.<br />

In fact some of the smart phone are having this feature for more than a year.<br />
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nM8mLCC8ml4/WhzN4siKOTI/AAAAAAAATeY/4FSpCMQTkEoluHbHbPjB0fVIkbkorUxCwCLcBGAs/s1600/nfcsd_zpsa8695c53.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nM8mLCC8ml4/WhzN4siKOTI/AAAAAAAATeY/4FSpCMQTkEoluHbHbPjB0fVIkbkorUxCwCLcBGAs/s1600/nfcsd_zpsa8695c53.jpg" data-original-width="550" data-original-height="359" /></a>
<br />
<br />
Toshiba is using this technology on their SD card and it indeed something useful as if you want to check out some stuff on your SD to see if it is there, you just need that on your NFC and place it near the SD card and you should able to see what is inside. To do that, you do need an App on your android device (sorry Apple fan for now).<br />
<br />
Do note that the SD over NFC is only for preview purposes and not data transfer as that would take more than NFC bandwidth.<br />
<br />
If you must know, NFC is more like bluetooth that limited in bandwidth. It is one good usage of NFC anyway as the SD card do not need power source by itself.<br />
<br />
You should able to see this in a few months to come.<br />

It's a good and a bad thing actually. Here's my Lollipop on my Nexus 5. <br />
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6TwvLQpNaY4/WhvAfgcJSFI/AAAAAAAATL0/1E3nh4GqMV0gPF6Jk0XKAcdwF2-eLjg8gCLcBGAs/s1600/nexus5LoliN01.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="550" data-original-width="309" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6TwvLQpNaY4/WhvAfgcJSFI/AAAAAAAATL0/1E3nh4GqMV0gPF6Jk0XKAcdwF2-eLjg8gCLcBGAs/s1600/nexus5LoliN01.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
The update was prompted over the air...I did set my choice to do so when connected to WiFi.<br />
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CqhxcJcv5sE/WhvAfi7c3AI/AAAAAAAATL8/N3pK42xU_eQGruUJILziu9aE4OirI700ACLcBGAs/s1600/nexus5LoliN02.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="550" data-original-width="310" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CqhxcJcv5sE/WhvAfi7c3AI/AAAAAAAATL8/N3pK42xU_eQGruUJILziu9aE4OirI700ACLcBGAs/s1600/nexus5LoliN02.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Here are some things I like and don't like and how I overcome some of the changes by personal preference...<br />
<br />
After the full upgrade was done, I check out the Easter egg of this version that usually found in the Phone Setting > Android version by tabbing continuously at that area. It will appear a Lollipop that you can use your finger to move around the screen like you are licking it and it will soon direct you to a mini-game which work like Flappy bird but this time is lollipop as pipe and the bird was a Android.<br />
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MqAd974sxGQ/WhvAfrh78zI/AAAAAAAATL4/3XSj-atcb04V3fj_z6P8qqnItnU--aqjgCLcBGAs/s1600/nexus5LoliN03.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="550" data-original-width="309" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MqAd974sxGQ/WhvAfrh78zI/AAAAAAAATL4/3XSj-atcb04V3fj_z6P8qqnItnU--aqjgCLcBGAs/s1600/nexus5LoliN03.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
I didn't play long as I am busy looking what is new.<br />
<br />
One thing I like was the keyboard now have bigger key area. I is easier for me to use my fat thumb to type the wordings.<br />
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3Sn9xVGI9YM/WhvAgiHg4FI/AAAAAAAATME/o40k2zF_o0wqPXdcZq2eyobvuiRfu_aewCLcBGAs/s1600/nexus5LoliN05.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="550" data-original-width="309" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3Sn9xVGI9YM/WhvAgiHg4FI/AAAAAAAATME/o40k2zF_o0wqPXdcZq2eyobvuiRfu_aewCLcBGAs/s1600/nexus5LoliN05.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Now here are a few things I don't really like. First the phone contact now do not offer you to create new contact account on the device itself. By default all contact are now sync with Google.<br />
<br />
The Gallery in Kitkat was removed in Lollipop. Instead they replace Google Photo for that. The first thing I did was select the Auto-Backup option to be OFF. If you did not do that, all of your photo you have taken send to the cloud server as backup which I am not certain. The recent report that some celebrities in nude due to their photo stored in cloud was no longer secure.<br />
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uEGwGa_Za5I/WhvAgXJSg5I/AAAAAAAATMA/EhEbaGE5qlUVPnWToqLwd3pIMjWcSMUmgCLcBGAs/s1600/nexus5LoliN04.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="550" data-original-width="309" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uEGwGa_Za5I/WhvAgXJSg5I/AAAAAAAATMA/EhEbaGE5qlUVPnWToqLwd3pIMjWcSMUmgCLcBGAs/s1600/nexus5LoliN04.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Now that being said, it is too much trouble to go many clicks to see the photo on your device as how it was with Gallery Apps was suppose to be. To resolve that, go to <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder&hl=en">Google play and download this Apps call Quickpic</a>. That will offer allow you on how the application is like. <br />
<br />
They have upgrade to the latest chrome and all the tab are separated. I personally prefer how it was and thank God there was a work around.first select the Setting... <br />
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dVw2PyLhvSA/WhvAggmmyZI/AAAAAAAATMI/aqp5uVjMZzgL8FonSRDS4EyHRA-L23uYACLcBGAs/s1600/nexus5LoliN06.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="550" data-original-width="309" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dVw2PyLhvSA/WhvAggmmyZI/AAAAAAAATMI/aqp5uVjMZzgL8FonSRDS4EyHRA-L23uYACLcBGAs/s1600/nexus5LoliN06.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Then select the Merge Tabs and Apps. <br />
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-e47Kh2_JO9g/WhvAhLNWs4I/AAAAAAAATMM/Lv3FlvrUxqEt7d0VtP0Uxjn8jM16RDpbACLcBGAs/s1600/nexus5LoliN07.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="550" data-original-width="309" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-e47Kh2_JO9g/WhvAhLNWs4I/AAAAAAAATMM/Lv3FlvrUxqEt7d0VtP0Uxjn8jM16RDpbACLcBGAs/s1600/nexus5LoliN07.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Finally I can get back the familiar tab display all in one app view .<br />
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5y1jFhKhvfE/WhvAhSKjQVI/AAAAAAAATMQ/91KICykcyfoyvM-IHGR4rbsJK4C41cOmACLcBGAs/s1600/nexus5LoliN08.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="550" data-original-width="309" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5y1jFhKhvfE/WhvAhSKjQVI/AAAAAAAATMQ/91KICykcyfoyvM-IHGR4rbsJK4C41cOmACLcBGAs/s1600/nexus5LoliN08.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
I noticed that the battery seems to be improved but I still having teething issue in term of user experience as I was rather used to KitKat. Will update more on my experience.<br />

<br />

Today the Apps I am sharing is Pixelot which does nothing but censoring part of photo you took on your Android phone.<br />

<br />
Now this Apps offer FREE but limited features but good enough for most user who want just somethings in their photo to be masked.<br />
<br />
First it offers direct camera where you use camera to take a photo and straight away you can select which section you want to apply the Mosaic or you can go into gallery of your devices to select a picture to apply the masking. <br />

<br />
Once you select a picture, you will see it in the layout <br />

<br />
There are different Mosaic to choose from but for FREE version, only the square and that is good enough for basic. <br />
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Kk3POqtwgR8/WhvBBX1LuLI/AAAAAAAATMk/wFTESdGJt4Mw82UVbweNMcGolHT3YRtdgCLcBGAs/s1600/pixlot04.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="550" data-original-width="309" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Kk3POqtwgR8/WhvBBX1LuLI/AAAAAAAATMk/wFTESdGJt4Mw82UVbweNMcGolHT3YRtdgCLcBGAs/s1600/pixlot04.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
Once you select the type, you can select how many pixel size of the Mosaic. If you need to censor more, you can select the bigger value. However in censorship, it is best to choose a good enough Mosaic size so you can retain more of the whole photo looks but do let people to make out some information.<br />

<br />
Once you are ready, you can use your finger to draw out the part you want to censor. As you move your finger along, you can see there is a line following your finger path. Once it is in complete loop, that area within the loop would be Mosaic.<br />

<br />
It would look like the following as I censored the barcode of the product. <br />

<br />
In cases you want to undo, you can only choose on Revert as it will reset to the original photo stage. If you like what you did, you can click on Save.<br />

It's good news right since the last Redmi Note was not even a 4G.<br />
<img border="0" data-original-height="443" data-original-width="500" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Z4NFmrj_C2s/WhvCFpEFroI/AAAAAAAATOw/oQi4GW5ui90FcPvkecR5VB3uJH0UAot2QCLcBGAs/s1600/redminote4G.jpg" />
<br />
<br />
If you thought it was so, allow me to point to you some of the specs between the Redmi Note and Redmi Note 4G<br />
<br />
<br />
Stating the obvious, 4G offer LTE which is faster surfing speed and the Wifi is offering Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac which is dual-band instead of the old RedNote Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n. Do note if you connecting to Wifi, the wireless router you are connection must offer the dual band if you want to maximized that feature. <br />
<br />
For SD storage the Redmi Note 4G allow the maximum of 64GB. For camera or video fans, there isn't any difference for screens and the camera specifications as they are no upgrade on that.<br />
<br />
<br />
As for battery, it remain the same capacity which is Li-Po 3200 mAh battery so they need not produce another battery maybe... <br />
<br />
Now here's the parts that you may REALLY want to know<br />
<br />
The old Redmi Note uses an Octa-core 1.4/1.7 GHz Cortex-A7 (8
processors) but the new Redmi Note 4G is running on Quad-core 1.6 GHz
Cortex-A7 (4 processors). In plain English, the new Redmi Note 4G is using a slower processor and if you play games or some processor demanding app, you may notice some difference.<br />
<br />
Another thing you may want to know is that the new Redmi Note 4G is no longer offering Dual sim which most Xiaomi user enjoyed. NO DUAL SIM!!<br />
<br />
<br />
If now you would rather go for the old Redmi Note thinking it should be selling at SGD$199, I have bad news for you. As of the website today, Redmi Note cannot be found. This may mean Xiaomi Singapore will no longer selling the old model.<br />
<br />
So if you were consider to get the old Redmi Note, now you may want to consider more to get the Redmi Note 4G as it's higher pricing with some of the upgrade.<br />
<br />
The new Redmi Note 4G will be selling at SGD$229. Good luck for tomorrow purchase if you want it.

In fact Power Banks was always a hot seller in their weekly sales that gone within 1 minutes in Singapore sales.<br />
<br />
Current Xiaomi offers 5,200mAh and 10,400mAh capacities and if you think it is still not enough due to a longer hour on the road, here comes the 16,000mAh!<br />
<img border="0" data-original-height="430" data-original-width="550" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-n7HcbzVul84/WhvB9BUvGUI/AAAAAAAATOs/HFTwQxfihLAAXZH3b-FhyIku9n1rT3OtgCLcBGAs/s1600/xiaomi16PB.jpg" />
<br />
<br />
On 11th November, Xiaomi at China end will be introducing the 16,000mAH at 99 CNY on 11 November 2014 but will sell at regular pricing at 129 CNY around SGD $28.00 after that.<br />
<br />
The 16,000mAh Power Bank take on a silm width but add on the length which make it better when place in pocket I suppose. This will offer more power hungry user to get it. <br />
