Top 5 phones to look forward to in 2013


2013 is almost upon us. And while this year has seen a bumper crop of stunning smartphones, next year promises to serve up even better, faster, more technologically advanced handsets.
Every major player is lining up an upgrade to their best blowers in 2013, so here’s our pick of the five that you should really be getting excited about.

1 Samsung Galaxy S4

Possibly the most anticipated handset of 2013, the Samsung Galaxy S4 looks set to be revealed at January’s Consumer Electronics Show.
A new official teaser trailer, called ‘Get Ready’, suggests the device will debut between January 8th-11th, the dates of CES.
Samsung is wasting little time in getting the successor to the S3 out of the door, less than a year after its release, capitalising on its new position as smartphone top dog.
A flexible screen, five-inch display, snappier processor and Android Jelly Bean are all expected to form part of the package.

2 iPhone 5S/iPhone 6

Apple’s next phone is already the subject of leaks and rumours, its casing apparently snapped by a French fan site.
Like the iPhone 4S before it, it’s set to be an iterative upgrade. But seeing as the iPhone 5 felt like little more than a minor bump, Apple will need to either serve up something spectacular or placate fans by making this the first of two releases in 2012.
The latter is more likely, with the iPhone 5S arriving earlier in the year with a full-on upgrade following later. Apple must now dance to the Android tune of regular, tech-tastic upgrades.

3 HTC M7

The Samsung Galaxy Note 2’s success has seemingly enticed key rival HTC into unleashing its own, dare we say it, ‘phablet’.
It has already released the HTC Butterfly in Japan and the US, but a different five-inch effort, the HTC M7, has really got smartphone-watchers buzzing.
This hulking device will apparently pack a full HD display, 4G, quad-core Qualcomm tech and a unibody aluminium design, much like the old-school HTC Legend, an early Android winner.
HTC needs a big 2013 and the M7 looks a good bet to help kickstart its ailing fortunes.

4 Nokia Lumia 940

Nokia will doubtless be looking to make an even bigger push with its Windows Phones in 2013.
The Lumia 940 is for now only a concept, but one with a stunning carbon fibre frame and beefed up screen.
Espoo has done such a great job with its native apps and in trying to push the Windows Phone platform, but it really needs a design-led device that doesn’t come in a range of plasticky colours to give it that extra edge.
Hopefully the Lumia 940 is it.

5 BlackBerry 10 touchscreen

BlackBerry 10 has already been widely trailed, with the next-gen OS set to be officially unveiled at the end of January. A touchscreen phone, touting new multimedia access, improved apps and better typing is expected to follow in the spring.
BlackBerry has really been in the doldrums for the past few years, but this is a cool new handset that’s well worth getting excited about.
Expect it to be sleek and work-focused and give RIM new impetus in the smartphone wars.

Top Ten Antivirus Ratings

Most of these antivirus software have been tested extensively for their performance. The old versions have received ratings based on the performance to quickly detect viruses from infected systems and stop new viruses from infecting the computers. There is a very strong criteria that will be used to provide points to various antivirus software 2012. Another interesting factor that we are considering is the antivirus coupons, we will give scores to antivirus software companies that offer discount coupons from time to time. Although this is not a major factor, but many users value coupons because it is a good way to save money on security software. Although this factor will not inflate the original ratings, we are including it only to help people save money. These are the factors that will contribute to the scoring:

Speed: When it comes to computing, speed is an important aspect that we can't neglect. It has been reported that some antivirus software are much slower in comparison to other antivirus software. Which means, some antivirus programs slow down a computer. Computer users (specially gamers) like using antivirus software that does not degrade the performance of a computer system. They enjoy using the fastest antivirus software.
Stealth: Many viruses and spyware are designed to deactivate antivirus programs so that they are not detected. Antivirus software should quickly detect such a threat and stop the virus from harming the system files. Those antivirus software will receive higher score that can not only defend against known viruses but also protect a computer system from new and unknown virus and spyware.
Detection: A good antivirus program will quickly detect infection and will take the necessary steps to quarantine the infected files in order to stop the virus from spreading to other system files. Only if security software has the capabilities of detecting infection, it can stop a virus/spyware. So this is a major aspect of security software. Many poorly designed security software cannot detect all forms of threat. However, only those antivirus software will be included in our top ten antivirus 2012 list that are capable of detecting all sorts of threats.
Technical Support: We will also provide scores depending upon the type of technical support and customer service provided by the antivirus software manufacturer. Only those programs will receive higher ratings that are bundled with quality support. We will also count on the type of support available: phone, chat, email, etc. When your computer system is infected with virus, spyware or other forms of malware, you need quick assistance. That's when you need to contact someone who is technically equipped to assist you. Based on the quality of technical support, scores will be provided to various security software and hence will win a rank in our top ten antivirus 2012 list.
Price: Antivirus software should not be too costly, it should be reasonably priced. We will be comparing the price of antivirus software and will be providing scores based upon how cheap is the antivirus software. The cheapest and the best antivirus 2012 will receive higher rankings. People love saving money, so the cheapest antivirus software will receive higher scores.

These are some of the major factors we will be using to rate the best antivirus software of 2012. We will also include other factors like real-time scanning, frequency of updates, blocking phishing attempts, link scanning, IM protection, parental lock and lots more factors. However, we will majorly focus on the 5 key-points mentioned above. Based on these factors, we will provide our lab test reports that will show you which antivirus software is best for your computer in the year 2012. Most antivirus manufacturers will release their 2012 antivirus software sometime in May or June this year. If you have any questions or suggestions about this report of top ten antivirus 2012

5 Tips to Keep Your Mac Safe From Hackers


Hackers have been plaguing computers since the start of the Internet. Security walls may not always protect against hacker attacks, so it is important to continually build the defense of your Mac. Here is a list of 5 great tips for fighting off hackers, and maintaining control of your Mac.

Tip 1: Update Your Mac When Necessary

Many people who do not understand the importance of software updates will ignore them. This can be dangerous, as simple software updates can greatly reduce the risk of attack. Apple works hard to continually fix problems that arise in their software. Try enabling an auto-update feature to avoid any problems, or manually install the individual updates if you prefer to know exactly what is being updated.

Tip 2: Install An Antivirus Program

Most hackers will have trouble running harmful codes on your Mac if an antivirus program is installed. An antivirus program should be run alongside a firewall to best defend against attack. An antivirus program is the only way to isolate infected files, and prevent them from giving hackers access to your data. There are plenty of software options when it comes to virus defense. Choose one that is easy to use and effective.

Tip 3: Use A Firewall

Firewalls are there for a reason. Firewalls act as personal security guards. They fend off intruders from the Internet, and prevent them from accessing your computer. This will ensure that only you, or people you give permission to access your computer, will have the ability to.

Tip 4: Disable Automatic Logins

Automatic logins are useful when you want quick access to your Mac, but unfortunately they reduce the security as well. Try to disable automatic logins, and take the time to manually login every time you use your Mac. This will ensure that only people who know your passwords can access your data.

Tip 5: Use Safe Download Sites

Sharing files is a wonderful option provided by the Internet, but not everyone can be trusted. There are plenty of harmful files floating around the web that can give hackers easy access to your personal information. Luckily, there are websites dedicated to safe file sharing like 4shared.com. They provide services in scanning files before allowing them onto their site. Try to find which sites work towards guaranteeing safe downloading, and avoid other insecure options.
