The iPhone 5s have landed in our offices. Before we go off for more
extensive examinations, here are a few preliminary reactions after
getting our hands on the thing.
The screen
Because the iPhone 5
is the same width as previous models, it feels familiar in some ways.
But then, when you reach up for that topmost corner to hit a Back button
or to pull down Notification Center, there’s a strange sense of wearing
shoes that are just slightly too big. By the same token, going back to
an iPhone 4S after holding a 5 is bizarre; the screen suddenly feels
squat.
Making the screen taller, but not wider, is actually kind of brilliant.
What do we do with our phones? Read emails, webpages, Twitter streams,
and so on. Now there’s more room for all of that, without stretching
things to wacky proportions.
Apps that have already been optimized for the larger display—such as
Apple’s own apps—certainly feel roomier for it. It’s exactly what you’d
expect, and it’s nice. Apps that have not yet been updated feel funny:
There are black bars at the top and the bottom. Even on one of the white
models, though, it’s easy to forget the bars are there: they blend in
with the dark screen.
What’s strange, though, is what happens to the iPhone’s status bar in
these apps. In most apps, the status bar is immediately above the app
itself, and then there was black space above it. But in one app we
tested, the status bar was at the very top of the screen, then there was
some black space, and then the contents of the app were displayed.
Turns out this is what happens when some parts of an app have
been updated for the iPhone 5, but not others. If an app hasn’t been
updated at all, the status bar sticks to the app and the black bars
extend above. The worst case scenario is that developers will just
stretch their apps up-and-down; there’s plenty of space to really retool
their interfaces, if they wanted to do so.
If you painstakingly organized your home screens, it’s time to
redecorate. Now that you can fit a fifth row of apps on your iPhone 5,
you’ll need to make new decisions about which apps go where. Or, we
suppose, you could leave everything exactly the same and have a gaping
empty row across the bottom of each screen.
The body
While the iPhone 5 is noticeably taller, the change is actually less
dramatic than you might expect. If you regularly clad your iPhone in a
battery case, for example, the caseless iPhone 5 may well be shorter than what you’re accustomed to.
An iPhone 4S in a battery case on the bottom, an unclad iPhone 5 on top.
The height difference is also a personal thing: If you’re accustomed to
sliding up a finger to trigger the Sleep/Wake button, that may now take
more effort than it did before; you may have to slide the phone down in
your hand to access that button, whereas before it was always within
reach. The Notification Center can be a real stretch.
As we’ve all heard, the iPhone 5 is as surprisingly light (3.95 ounces). There may be no such thing as toolight,
but some may find that it feels like a toy: it’s surprising, when you
turn the iPhone 5 on, to realize that a device this light is actually a
real phone, and not just a plastic replica that you give your kids to
play with. For years, there’s been a notable difference between the
weight of iPhones to their comparable iPod touches; the difference
between the iPhone 4S and the iPhone 5 feels that dramatic.
The case
As opposed to the iPhone 4 and 4S, which had a kind of “ice-cream
sandwich” construction, with two slabs of glass around a steel frame,
the iPhone 5 has edges that are ever so slightly beveled inward—chamfers,
if you want to use the technical term. It gives the phone a slightly
different feel in the hand, one that doesn’t press quite as sharply into
the palm as the previous phones.
In the past, iPhone color choices have been pretty limited: The iPhone
3G either had a black back or a white back, but that was it. The iPhone 4
came in black and (eventually) white, front and back, but the shiny
metal band around the device was the same regardless of color choice.

With the iPhone 5, the two phones really are different. The white model
most closely resembles the iPhone 4/4S, with a white front and back and
the silver metal band. But the black model is completely different. It’s
like the Spinal Tap model iPhone 5: How much blacker could it be? None
more black. The front and back have black glass, yes, but the metal band
and metal strip on the back are both “slate”—a metallic matte black.
The switches are black. Even the box is black, with “iPhone 5” printed
in shiny black lettering. If the white-and-silver iPhone 5 is Gandalf’s
iPhone, the black-and-slate model is Darth Vader’s.
And it’s gorgeous. Not everyone will want to embrace the Dark Side, but
the black metal on the black glass really ties the design of the phone
together in a way that the iPhone 4 didn’t.
That connector
The first thing some of us did when our new iPhones arrived was try to
plug it into our Macs using an existing dock connector cable. It only
took a second for us to realize, “Hey, dummy, that won’t work!” and dig
out the Lightning adapter in the box instead. We’re not the only ones who will do that, we bet.
Lightning connector
You might also pause to see if you have the Lightning plug oriented the
right way, just as we did with the old connector. Which, of course, you
don’t need to do: it works either way. (Some of us plugged and unplugged
the connector a couple of times, just for the novelty of it.) We never
paid much attention to where we put our iPhone cables: We always had a
couple stashed here and there around the house. You’ll likely have just
one Lightning cable for the time being; watch it closely.
The shocking thing about the Lightning cable is just how small it is. We
know: Apple said that it was a lot smaller. But it’s actually kind of
hard to pick up; it’s not much wider than the cable to which it’s
connected. To insert it in the iPhone, you need to hold the connector
squarely between your thumb and index finger. So even though there’s no
fiddling around with the connector’s orientation, you’ll have to retrain
your muscle memory.
Other observations
The speakers seem noticeably better—or at least, louder—than they were
on the 4S and 4. Part of that may be the changes in phone’s volume and
shape, which could provide more open air in the case. They’re still no
match for a good pair of headphones, but you can probably get away with
watching a YouTube video without everybody around you saying, “What?
What did he say?”
The Home button is distinctly stiffer than in iPhones past. It has a
sturdier feel and seems to require a firmer touch than Home buttons of
yore.
The improved front-facing camera—now in HD quality—is quite welcome, particularly for FaceTime calls.
Overall, while it feels like a very significant and substantial upgrade,
it also still feels like the same old iPhone. For many of us, that’s a
good thing.

When it comes to creating a
quality motherboard very few manufacturers can match ASUS in regards to
build quality, bios stability and overclocking capabilities. Today we
are looking at their latest Asus P8Z68-V Pro Gen 3 Motherboard, based
around the Z68 platform with full support for Quad SLI and Quad
Crossfire graphics.
This motherboard features UASP mode, which stands for USB Attached
SCSI Protocol. Asus say “With USB 3.0 Boost technology, a USB device’s
transmission speed is significantly increased up to 170%, adding to an
already impressive fast USB 3.0 transfer speed. ASUS software
automatically accelerates data speeds for compatible USB 3.0 peripherals
without the need for any user interaction.”
The board also has Dual Intelligent Processors with DIGI+ VRM
support. As with many of the higher end ASUS motherboards it has 12
phase power for the processor and 4 phase power for iGPU. Today we plan
on testing the board in an overclocked state, after all many people
buying this board will be doing the very same thing.
How does the P8Z68-V Pro Gen 3 Motherboard handle in an automated
overclocked state? If you aren’t a bios expert is there an ‘easy one
switch’ setting to improve performance significantly?
Overview:
Dual Intelligent Processors 2 with DIGI+ VRM Digital Power Design
UEFI BIOS (EZ Mode) – Flexible & Easy BIOS Interface
LucidLogix Virtu (Universal Switchable Graphics) – Auto Switching between Integrated Graphics and NVIDIA/AMD Cards

The problem:
Have you noticed that the longer you have your computer, the slower it runs and the more it crashes? Often this is because whenever you install or uninstall software, adjust hardware or change settings, the Windows registry is updated. Over time the registry starts losing shape, accumulating obsolete, corrupt and harmful files. Left unchecked, your system can become increasingly unstable, run more slowly and crash more frequently.
The solution:
RegistryBooster is the easy answer to Windows registry problems. This award winning software will deep scan your registry to identify problems and errors that can cause instability and slowdown. RegistryBooster will then repair or remove harmful registry entries to optimize your PC for better performance. You can also defragment your registry for extra speed and efficiency.
