How to burn iso image to a USB thumb drive on a Mac using UNetbootin
How to burn iso image to a USB thumb drive on a Mac
in one of my Previous Posts here, I explained how to burn iso image on a USB drive using Terminal. but it didn't work for everyone, and There is no specific way to get everything done.
There are some softwares but they work with certain iso files and don't with others.
In this Video I used UNetbootin which works with most isos, it's a free software that you can download here, it's available for Windows, Linux and Mac.
N.B. You have to be logged in as Admin otherwise won't work!!
How to burn:
1. Make sure your USB drive is formatted (FAT32 if you want it bootable on Windows)
2. Open up the software and go to tick DiskImage button down
3. select the ISO image that you wanna burn
4. The USB drive location is selected by default
5. Click ok and wait till it's done
That's it, it's that easy

iOS 6.1.2 on the iPad 2 - is it slow?
iOS 6.1.2 on the iPad 2 - is it slow?
A couple of years ago, the iPhone 3G received its final iOS which was 4.2.1 and everyone was shocked of how slow and laggy it was, since then everyone asks himself twice before moving to a new iOS, is it worth to upgrade? will it slow down my device? should I say on my trusted & tested iOS?
The iPad 2 got the iOS 6 along with the iPhone 3GS and for everyone's surprise, it's really smooth, it's really fast and it's definitely not slow. The iPad 2 has a 512MB memory after all and running too many apps will slow it down you might presume but with the iOS 6, that's really not an issue, but if you open up too many apps then starting the apps might take sometime but the performance is really fast.
In the video up, I launched a lot of apps that are installed on my iPad 2 and you can see that the performance is really great, it's not slow or anything, in fact, I find it faster than the iOS 6.
What you get with iOS 6?
A bit better battery life & some new features like Do Not Disturb and some privacy settings.
Not to forget more apps support.
What do you lose?
YouTube app & Google Maps - but google has their own app in the AppStore for YouTube so that's not an issue & google maps for iPad is not available yet.
What to watch out for?
You cannot downgrade from 6.1.2 to 5.1.1 - so be careful, do you really want iOS 6?
if you are a jailbreaker then hurry up before Apple upgrades to iOS 6.1.3, there are rumors that it might not be jailbroken for a while.
bottom line: Fast and Smooth performance, I don't miss iOS 5

Philips ActionFit SHQ1017 Sports In-Ear Sweat Proof earphones - Unboxing and Review
Philips ActionFit SHQ1017 Sports In-Ear Sweat Proof earphones - Unboxing and Review
The Philips ActionFit SHQ1017 Sports In-Ear Sweat Proof earphones are one of the worst that I've ever tried in my life. I do know How earphones should sound (I have Sennheisers, AKGs, Bowers & Wilkins, Audio Technica).
It comes in the Box with a small Pouch, S, M, L ear caps & an extension cable.
The Build Quality is ok, it's not that good but it's not that Bad, it does feel kind of cheap though.
The sound Quality makes you dislike the Music that you like, I mean compared even to Apple earphones, it sounds really bad, Apple earphones were really good. I would rate it 3/5
The bass is terrible, the earphones sound like they are dying on you. I would rate it 1/5
The Treble is bad, I didn't even notice that it was there. I would rate it 1/5
They are not comfortable at all, the Plastic ear caps are painful & they are not that soft gum material and after a while you will have ear strain. I would rate it 1/5.
bottom line: I really dislike it & in my opinion get a 10-15$ Panasonic off eBay better. Apple earphones are even better.
whether to get them or not? uhm, That's up to you, I wouldn't.

Apple Nike+ iPod Sensor & Marware Sportsuit Sensor+ case - Unboxing & Demo
If you workout and you have iPhone, iPod touch or any other iPod model, then it will be nice to track your steps & to check how many calories were burned.
That's what I did, I went and got myself Apple Nike+ iPod Sensor with a Marware Sportsuit Sensor+ case.
The Apple Nike+ iPod Sensor is compatible with Nike+ sneakers, I don't have one, and It will be ridiculous to buy Nike+ sneakers for my Sensor. That's Why I got myself a Marware sportsuit sensor+ case, which allowed me to attach the Nike+ iPod Sensor to my New Balance sneakers, and it allows you to attach the Nike+ iPod Sensor to any sneakers.
It's very easy to connect the sensor to your iPhone or iPod touch (there is a built in app) but if you have other model of iPod then you're gonna have get the Apple Nike+ iPod Sport Kit which includes the little attachment for your iPod. but you don't need it if you have iPhone or iPod touch because it comes built in so for iPhone or iPod touch, you only need the Apple Nike+ iPod sensor.
To connect it to iPhone or iPod touch go to settings then scroll down to Nike + iPod and enable the app, then scroll down & press on sensor and it will detect your sensor.
Other iPods, when you connect the little attachment, you will have a new app for the Nike+ where you can connect your sensor.
bottom line: great little gadgets for doing sports, get it if you do sports :)

HUAWEI E3131 3G USB Modem 21.6 Mbps - Unboxing & Demo
HUAWEI E3131 3G USB Modem 21.6 Mbps - Unboxing & Demo
The Huawei E3131 is a great little 3G USB stick that offers 21.6 Mbps on HSPA+ and 5.76 on HSUPA.
It works with modem Operating System like Windows & Mac.
In the box, it comes with Quick start guides & some IMEI numbers of the modem.
It's very small, neat & the build quality is sturdy.
The USB stick accepts up to 32GB of memory (microSD card only) which is a great feature to use it as a memory stick too.
& it takes 3G Normal Size SIM card.
It does have a SMS feature, you can send & receive from & to your USB modem.
It is very easy & simple to use it, just plug & play, and your computer will do the rest. Of course you will need to setup Internet settings in the modem itself, but nothing to worry about, it does not require a rocket science & a small child can do it.
When you plug the modem to your Computer, it's gonna detect it and do everything for you, in case it didn't, go to the modem in My Computer or in Finder & click the detected USB & the software should be there. Run it & that's it.
Now go to your Internet Browser & it's gonna bring up the Menu of the USB modem.
- go to settings
- go to profile management
- create a new profile
- Add your profile name & your Internet settings from your provider ( APN & Password)
- save it & connect
Of course you need a SIM card installed with a Service plan.
The Internet Speed depends on your Service plan & not on the Modem, if your plan allows faster than 21.6 Mbps then you will be stuck with 21.6 Mbps, because the Modem does not offer faster, & if your Plan does not allow a speed up to 21.6 Mbps & lets say that it's 1 Mbps then your speed will be 1 Mbps.
bottom line: It's necessary sometimes to have a USB modem while travelling, the microSD slot is a great feature. get it if you need it.
