Samsung Galaxy S 4 Teardown

Samsung Galaxy S4 teardwon was being posted last month based on a teardown done by a Chinese website:
http://outdatedpenanguncle.blogspot.com/2013/03/samsung-galaxy-s-4-teardown.html
This teardown is not as complete as by iFixIt. So here goes the Samsung Galaxy S4 Teardown by iFixIt:

Samsung Galaxy S4 has scored 8/10 by iFixIt because it has removable battery and easy to open. Even though there are reviews or comparison reviews between S4 and HTC One, and mostly praised the HTC One of the build quality, but I hate it when a product being designed such that it cannot be repair at all. So if you ask me which one to choose, I still pick S4 even though of the plastic body. Metal or plastic body, eventually most users will put on another protective plastic or silicon cover, so such a waste with un-repairable design of HTC One.

As usual, if you like to view it on iFixIt website, here is the link:

How Secure is Your Password?

What are the password that mostly people would use?
Here is a infographic to show you:
http://outdatedpenanguncle.blogspot.com/2012/10/infographic-password.html

Anyway, how do we check for the password that we use is safe enough?

I used this website:
http://howsecureismypassword.net/

In my opinion, as long as the password need 1 years plus to crack, it should be good enough. To be more safe, just make sure you always change the password every few months.

But since changing password every few months need a lot of effort especially everyone has more than 10 accounts like emails, banking, works, blogs, etc etc, I use keepass to keep all my password.

Keepass is available on Android, iOS, PC, Windows, Linux, and many more platform.

How to determine Quality of Android Apps

For those that would prefer not to be too risky with Android Apps, this post is for you.

Even though I subscribed to news from XDA, there are a lot more apps that being posted at many more forum. I would like to try them out, but would not like to mess up with my SGS2.

Usually I would like to try new apps on my SGS2, however I have a set of rules to determine should I try the apps or not.

1. If you are getting an apps from other forums, check on Google Play first if there is free version available. Google Play is the trusted source of apps or apk. There are trusted forums, but we cannot confirm all the posted apk are safe.

2. Second point for consideration is to look at "Average rating". Unless I am very interested with the apps, I will just skip anything that is less than 4.0 rating.

3. The third one to look at is "User Reviews". There are reasons why user would give a 1 star or 2 star.

4. The forth one that always make or break is how many percent of users gave 1 star out of total users that gave review. Example for this apps, there is about 19.9% users gave 1 star! This is one of the apps we should avoid!


I have listed out the steps for searching quality Android apps, hope that you can have a reference to find your favourite apps. :-)

HTC One Teardown

HTC always make good smartphones, however some blamed the marketing department for not doing the job. I am agree to certain extent. For example, HTC launched HTC One X, One X+, One VX, One S, One V way way before this "HTC One". When I saw the news of the launch, I am sure I have this pass through my mind for 0.0001 second, which is "WTF?".
Apple have iPhone, iPhone 2, iPhone 3, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, and iPhone 5.
Samsung have Samsung Galaxy S, Samsung Galaxy S2, Samsung Galaxy S3, Samsung Galaxy S4.
You see what I mean? The brand name of HTC One is like a step back which is a sad thing, because it supposedly do or die for HTC.

Anyway, enough for blah blah blah. iFixIt has given 1/10 for HTC One, that is the first time iFixIt gave 1/10 for smartphone, which mean you can never repair a HTC One.

Are you getting Google Keep?

Are you getting Google Keep? I know I did it first time I saw it on Google Play. Why I choose Google Keep when most EverNote users said they will not use Google Keep? Because I don't need to maintain another account. Everything from email, blog, cloud storage and now Keep, keeping my note!

Computerized Psychology

Creepy or what? Using computer and camera to capture the subject's facial expression and a 3D computer character to ask specific question, and SimSesei & MultiSence can tell you are you depress or not. Interesting......
