				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every one wants to have the best broadband connection for their internet service at home, office or even large business. The development on the telecomunications and the virtual world has created new requirements for high speed and stable broadband connections. Here are some characteristics and facts an ISP should have to deliver the best broadband connection.</p>
<p>1. Great infrastructure from submarine links to terrestrial optic fiber wiring, optic fiber is ideal because of the high broadband capacities it deliveries, it has no limits.</p>
<p>2. Latencies should be no more than 30ms so you can experience a fast connection.</p>
<p>3. Packet loss has to be less than 0.03% so you can get the best results in videoconferencing and other applications that need high availability in uploading and downloading in real time.</p>
<p>4. Of course the best bandwidth you can possibily purchase anywhere from 10 to 60 Mbps which you can find with different internet service providers. This can allow you to get fast download speeds for applications such as video, photos, gaming, web surfing and music streaming. Plus if you have a lot of users at home the more bandwidth you purchase the better the speeds would be.</p>
<p>5. Customer support is also one important fact, sometimes because of external factors the internet fails, this external factors can be weather, car accidents or some other kind of problems. For this matters you service provider has to be agile and efficient in solving your problems. Customer support also can include features like online payment or a page with FAQ so you can solve you problems fast.</p>
<p>6. Price is definitely a fact but not the most important one if you are hoping to get an excellent internet service. You can get the perfect balance between price and quality all you have to do is make sure that your Internet provider complies with all of the features above.</p>
<p>In a world of telecom development we now must go for the best services that we can possibly find so that all the technology becomes accesible and compatible with us.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over almost 18 months now of rumors spreading that Facebook will release a phone which is going to be developed by HTC with a customized version of Android, although Facebook has been rejecting its interest in building their own phone they are actually holding an Android press event in which the invitation only says Come see our new home on Android.</p>
<p>Well getting to some interesting facts that Facebook&#8217;s CEO Mark Zuckerberg indicated a few months ago if this were to be a reality.</p>
<p>1. &#8220;Lets say we built a phone&#8221;, he said as a possibility so it may happen, it&#8217;s not certain so let&#8217;s not build our hopes up.</p>
<p>2. &#8220;We&#8217;re not but if we did , we could maybe get 10 to 20 million people to use it&#8230; it doesn&#8217;t move the needle for us.&#8221; Facebook doesn&#8217;t think that a phone will increase their revenue or market value because there is too much competition.</p>
<p>3. &#8221; The strategy we have is different from every other tech company [like Apple] that&#8217;s building their own hardware system &#8211; we&#8217;re going in an opposite direction.&#8221; This phone building is not the strategy of Facebook as he clearly states on this quote so this may give us a better idea of which is Facebook&#8217;s vision.</p>
<p>4. &#8220;build a system, which is as deeply as possible integrated into every major device people want to use&#8221;. This is probably what the Android press event, explaining in a more detailed way which improvements are they making on the system&#8217;s compatibility and features with every device.</p>
<p>What if Facebook phone was a reality, here are some facts that we think this gadget would have.</p>
<p>1. Great hardware as it will probably be developed by HTC.</p>
<p>2. Sleek design with a big screen and touchscreen to keep it updated with the latest trends in phone design.</p>
<p>3. Probably the best feature of this Facebook phone is that is going to have a unique Android system and we imagine that some special features in the way that the user interacts with Facebook.</p>
<p>Like the title of this post this could be a reality or a fiction the thing is that if Facebook launches this phone, they&#8217;re going to have a hard time taking over third place in the mobile industrie because its clearly stated that Samsung and Apple have the first places in developing mobile hardware.</p>
<p>Heres a snapshot  of the possible design of the Facebook phone.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://factspy.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Facebook-Phone.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4975" style="width: 324px; height: 247px;" alt="Facebook-Phone" src="http://factspy.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Facebook-Phone-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>iPhone established a new generation in smart phones and it came to redefine the concept of smartphone-human interaction with it´s thousands and thousands of applications on the app store and all of its amazing functions like camera, iPod mode, Safari web browser, calendar, e-mail, notes and much more. Here ae some interesting facts through iPhone history:</p>
<p><a href="http://factspy.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/iPhone-Evolution.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-4962 aligncenter" alt="iPhone-Evolution" src="http://factspy.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/iPhone-Evolution-300x108.png" width="490" height="193" /></a></p>
<p><em><strong>1.</strong> </em>Apple has sold around 250 million iPhones in the past 5 years since the beggining of the first iPhones launched by the brand, this is because the iPhone is more than a phone an accessorie, it could be a fashion accessorie, a business tool, a music player and even a simpler yet neccesary function calculator or flashlight.</p>
<p><em><strong>2.</strong></em> Nearly one third of US high school students have an Iphone, this is because of the iPhones great price and accesibility to almost any kind of socioeconomical niche. Apple&#8217;s aim was to lower production costs so they can offer a great smartphone at a low cost and they certainly acomplished their mission, because the same high school survey showed that nearly 30% of the students were planning on getting an iPhone.</p>
<p><strong><em>3.</em></strong> Apple&#8217;s research and development team took nearly 5 years to launch the iPhone and they were looking to form an alliance with Motorola because of the success of the Motorola Razr, as a result of this alliance came the Motorola Rokr but Steve Jobs knew before the launching of this phone that it was going to be a bad phone.</p>
<p><em><strong>4.</strong> </em>iPhone&#8217;s name was originally trademarked by Cisco but Mr. Jobs forced the Chief Deovelopment Officer at Cisco to back off and give up the name.</p>
<p><em><strong>5.</strong></em> In the actual design of the iPhone this was supposed to have a built in physical keyboard just like Nokia&#8217;s N97, this would result in a bigger and heavier phone; so great decision over at Apple to keep the sleek and clean design of the iPhone.</p>
<p><strong><em>6.</em> </strong>iPhone has provided many business opportunities to other people that make accessories, to give you an idea in the first three weeks of the launch of the iPhone 5 approximately $42 million were sold in accessories this is a great number and it shows that not only we can consume iPhone and its gadgets but also make a business with them.</p>
<p><strong><em>7.</em> </strong>Most of the people that are iPhone fans know about a technique called jailbreak, this works to unlock some additional features using the app name cydia, did you know that cydia its actually a fruit worm that damages the fruits like a plague, this is why this program was called this way because of the modifications that it makes to the system.</p>
<p>In the end we can&#8217;t live without iPhones they are a part of our daily basis and all of its original features and the above facts make it the most dependable smartphone choose by the people.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everyone has the iPhone &#8220;fever&#8221; but sometimes you&#8217;re not really sure in getting the latest iPhone due to money reasons or simply your used to your current phone. Here are 7 quick awesome iPhone 5 facts that will give you a complete perspective on this new gadget.</p>
<p><a href="http://factspy.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/iphone5black.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4956 aligncenter" alt="iphone5black" src="http://factspy.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/iphone5black-237x300.jpg" width="237" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>1. New &amp; faster A6 processor and a two times quicker CPU and two times faster graphics, the human-phone interaction with this phone is pretty fast when you open an app you have a few millisecond delay but even before you can blink the app is opened.</p>
<p>2. The new back and front camera feature has an 8 mega pixel sensor with a size of 3264X2448, it also has a five element lens and a f/2.4 aperture, this is a great fact because you can get high fidelity pictures and 1080 hd videos at the reach of your palm. Plus camera has a panoramic mode which takes pictures with up to 180° range.</p>
<p>3. Faster network connectivity makes the iPhone a next generation Internet Service Provider phone with faster navigation speeds where 4G is available, so if you want the best hotspot feature available the iPhone delivers high Internet speeds for all your other gadgets that only have WiFi feature.</p>
<p>4. New 4&#8243; display with 44% more saturation, this makes the screen have 5 rows of icons and with new iOs 6 system over 200 amazing functions. This display makes the iPhone a little bit bigger but with is whole new design it still fits in your hand and it weights a lot less than previous iPhone models.</p>
<p>5. With the new connector you have an all digital connector which is reversible and you can charge your device or connect it to your computer without being worried which is the correct way to plug it in. Its also 80% smaller which makes it more durable. If you are looking for durability in this type of items the new plug is the right one.</p>
<p>6. Lets get into navigation with the iPhone&#8217;s whole new turn by turn navigation which enables you to navigate in maps with a 3D excellent graphics to reach your destination, the whole new passbook app enables you to carry all your flight tickets or coupon cards in you phone to maximize your wallet space.</p>
<p>7. It&#8217;s whole new design is sleeker 20% lighter than the previous iPhone and 18% thinner so you feel that you are carrying a phone that is not bigger than what the new iPhone looks like, plus the design colors and exterior appearance add a classy yet modern touch to the phone.</p>
<p>This are the facts that we think are the most important when taking into consideration changing your previous iPhone. Price is in the reach of a normal budget person you don&#8217;t have to be wealthy to get your new iPhone.</p>
<p>As always with the launching of new apple gadgets we ask ourselves some interesting questions like:</p>
<p>Would this iPhone last for at least a year, or would I have to purchase another one in less than a year.</p>
<p>Is this iPhone really better than the previous ones. Well this is why we post this 7 facts so you can determine if you want to experience the new iPhone&#8217;s features.</p>
