Standard Notes starts on all platforms

The free note software Standard Notes is now also available for Android devices. The open source solution synchronizes notes via your own server or Dropbox.
Note software with sync function is now like sand on the sea: heavyweights like Evernote, Wunderlist, Google Keep and Co. are represented on almost all platforms and wrestle for the favor of the users. A less well-known alternative for security-conscious users is Standard Notes, which is now also available for Android devices.
In contrast to the competition, the open-source solution deserves particular attention with security and data protection. For example, the synchronization of the written notes in Standard Notes is optionally end-to-end encrypted. In addition, the software can also be operated on its own server, whereby critical information does not leave the own network. The solution is also suitable for small businesses looking for a simple and locally hosted note service. Alternatively, the server of the manufacturer team is also available for synchronization. However, a user account is required for Standard Notes. Finally, the synchronization can also be done via a Dropbox account. Another security goodie: If desired, the mobile app prevents the creation of screenshots.
Standard Notes is limited to essentials
As a minimalistic solution, Standard Notes can not and will not keep up with the functionality of the competition. The application is essentially limited to the creation of text notes, which can be tagged with different tags. Nice security gimmick: If desired, the mobile app prevents the making of screenshots.
Extensions also include file attachments, a markdown editor, a blogging extension for Standard Journal, and a still-experimental Realtime Collaborative Editor. For a paid subscription, the software can also be extended by a note history, a more comprehensive markdown editor, or a code editor for programmers. How much one of these features is worth, everyone can decide for themselves. Pricing is based on the pay-as-you-feel principle.
The software is platform-spanning for Windows, Mac OS, Linux, Android, iOS and a web app for use.

BrandedLogoDesigns Complaints: Samsung Galaxy S8 revealed by Evan Blass

BrandedLogoDesigns Complaints

There is the thing: The Leak expert Evan Blass, who could reveal in the past so many smartphone secrets, has now tweaked a supposedly official picture of the superphone Samsung Galaxy S8.
"I believe this is what you have been waiting for" - with these words, professional-Leaker Evan Blass has dropped a tweet, which supposedly shows an official picture of the new Samsung Galaxy S8. If the photo was authentic, the Korean would at least optically a great litter succeeded.
And the chance that it really is a real photo is great - because many rumors that have been circulating to the device for a long time would be confirmed.
For example, there is no physical home button; In return, the 5.8-inch display extends almost the entire front. According to the picture, the screen is very slightly bent around both sides of the case.Previously, Dong-jin Koh, head of Samsung's mobile division, had already pointed out in an interview that the S8 might have only one version with an edge display, but with different display diagonals. The Edge screen would thus become the essential recognition mark of the Galaxy-S series. The variant with a flat display would be history.

BrandedLogoDesigns Complaints: Blackberry KEYone comes with a classic keyboard

TCL wants the Blackberry brand to get more attention in the mobile phone industry - and has now shown the new model "KEYone" on the MWC.

Blackberry itself is well-known out of the hardware business - development and production of the telephones since then completely in the hand of the Chinese company TCL, which has shown at the Mobile World Congress now a new Blackberry device with classic keyboard of the public.

The model "KEYone" runs - as well as the last Blackberrys before it - no longer with the Blackberry OS, but with Google's operating system Android. This is where the latest version 7.1 is used. Thanks to additional software, "KEYone is still the most secure Android phone on the market," said TCL CEO Nicolas Zibell at the presentation in Barcelona.

Blackberry itself continues to control security applications among the devices, said the responsible manager of the Canadian smartphone pioneer, Alex Thurber. The device provides continuous security monitoring and protection for the operating system and apps. The new features include, for example, that every key can be used to start an app directly, for example "F" for Facebook.
In addition, the keyboard is sensitive to touch, as is the case with other recent Blackberry models, and can be used, for example, to wipe it with a wipe.

Other features include a 4.5-inch screen with a resolution of 1,620x1,080 pixels, a fingerprint sensor in the keyboard's keyboard blank, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor with Adreno 506 GPU, and QuickCharge 3.0. A 3.505mAh battery, a 12-megapixel main camera and an 8-megapixel front camera complete the equipment list.

Blackberry KEYone comes in April

Blackberry had strongly influenced the early days of the smartphone business, but with the advance of the touchscreen telephones fell far back. Company CEO John Chen directed Blackberry to software and services for enterprises and gave up the development of their own smartphones, after it had not managed to get the area out of the red figures.

The "KEYone" should now bring a comeback also with the devices, emphasized Zibell. However, TCL and Blackberry are taking the risk to bring a model with rather average technical data compared to other Android phones at a premium price of 599 euros.

April was announced as the start date.

BrandedLogoDesigns Complaints: The return of the legendary Nokia 3310

The manufacturer HMD Global has presented a new feature phone in the look of the legendary 3310 under the Nokia brand, but also new smartphones are shown on the MWC.
The legendary simple mobile phone Nokia 3310 comes back. The Finnish provider HMD Global, which is now developing and producing devices under the Nokia brand, announced the rebirth of the model on the MWC on Sunday in Barcelona. The new Nokia 3310 even gets a similar design to the classic from the year 2000 - and next to the game "Snake" also the typical ringtone.
The phones come in addition to the usual gray also in the playful colors red, yellow and blue. The smartphone is no longer accustomed to charging battery power: the new 3310 is supposed to withstand 22 hours of calls - and a month in standby. The selling price will be around 49 dollars on average. HMD Global rides here clear the nostalgia wave, in order to bring the battered Nokia brand to the users again.
Therefore, the actually more important announcement of the launch of three smartphone models with the Android operating system. The entry-level model Nokia 3 with aluminum frame, two 8-MP cameras and 5-inch display costs 139 euros. The Nokia 5 is priced at 189 euros and features a 5.2 inch IPS HD display and a Snapdragon 430 processor, the Nokia 6 finally charges with 229 euros and has 3GB of RAM, 32GB of onboard memory as well as a 5, 5-inch display and an 8- or 16-megapixel camera on board. All Nokia smartphones are preinstalled with "Googles Assistant".
The Nokia brand can use some protection from old fans when they restart. Nokia, the world's first mobile phone market leader, had lost more ground to Apple's iPhone and phones with the Google Android operating system with the start of the modern smartphone era. The takeover of mobile phone business by Microsoft also did not help: Nokia slipped into insignificance and the brand disappeared from the market. Meanwhile, the name rights returned to the Finnish company, which passed them on to the company HMD founded by former Nokian companies.
A further announcement prior to the beginning of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona was that the brand of the Nokia-bought manufacturer of networked devices Withings is dropped. The scales, blood pressure meters, thermometers and watches will also be sold under the Nokia name in the future, announced Withings founder Cedric Hutchings. He now leads the corresponding Nokia division.

Brandedlogodesigns Complaints:Employees see digitization positive

Digitization will make jobs superfluous, is a gloomy forecast. According to a study, the employees do not look black but are optimistic.
The employees of companies in Europe are very optimistic about the near future. Most (91 per cent) know that their current activity will change very quickly due to digitalization, political turmoil and economic uncertainty. But 95 percent are also convinced that their companies will benefit from the change. These are the results of the study World of Change, for which the market research company Coleman Parkes Research surveyed some 2,000 employees. The client was Ricoh Europe.
The management will be the main driver of change in the company. The majority of 66 percent of employees believe that the management is prepared to deal successfully with future changes. Only 8 percent have no confidence in their management; The remaining 26 percent are unsure.
Technology is not a job killer
According to the workers, the technology is the central factor for the successes of the new year. Increasing automation will give workers more time to add value. The employees obviously do not expect a massive reduction in workplaces by digitization.
Instead, employees expect their companies to deal with resources more creatively and consciously in the future. They also expect a faster adaptation of new technologies. For example, 61 percent want the use of technology for better customer communication, higher productivity through new collaboration tools and the simplification of business processes.
Companies must be attractive
Qualified employees are required for the new workplace. Respondents see the greatest challenge in recruiting talent. In times of change, companies must ensure that they remain attractive employers. For jobseekers, three main priorities are: safe jobs, a sound financial base and the ability to work for a larger company.
According to the survey, the employees are the decisive lever of change. "Managing directors need to ask where the introduction of innovative technology in the enterprise is most beneficial. To enable their companies to focus on their long-term goals and remain competitive, the best approach is often the workers, Says David Mills, CEO of Ricoh Europe.

BrandedLogoDesigns Complaints: 2017 is intended to start Windows 10 correctly

The year has just begun and Microsoft has already introduced numerous innovations around Windows 10. But there were some things that have not been officially announced so far. In addition to the communicated new features, however, there are still some new features which have so far only been announced very little or not at all.
Windows 10 ARM
Already this year, the first Snapdragon devices will be released, which can run both Universal Windows Apps as well as conventional x86-32-bit applications. This means: some time this year a complete Windows 10 on ultramobilen devices could be seen. In the past, Microsoft had already brought ARM devices with Windows RT to the market, but it was a big draw. The users had to cope there on a sparsely equipped Windows Store.
Since Intel has failed with its atomic chips on the mobile market, gaps in the Redmonder gap in the portfolio. To this end, Microsoft is also currently working on the shell, which manages all elements such as the Start menu, Explorer and Buttons as an interface to the user. So far this has been structured differently for all platforms. With a modular shell that can now be adapted for all platforms such as HoloLens, Windows Mobile and Xbox One, Windows could turn itself into a desktop operating system at the push of a button. The devices should also benefit from better battery performance and set to Windows 32 emulation.
Project Neon
Microsoft also wants to redefine the design language of Windows 10. This project runs internally under the project name "Project Neon". First rumors of the new user interface of Windows 10 already made the round last year.
The design infusion is planned for fall in the course of the Redstone 3 update. Meanwhile via mspoweruser first screenshots auftaucht. However, the revision will probably be less than previously thought. So far, it seems as if Project Neon has more transparency and more fluid information. A bit, you also have the impression that Microsoft wants back to the Aero-Feeling of Windows 7. The neon design is very likely adapted for different platforms like HoloLens or Windows 10 Mobile.

BrandedLogoDesigns Complaints:E-mail usage continues to grow in Germany

The e-mail has become an integral part of today's communication: more than 620 billion e-mails sent the Germans alone in 2016. This is about 80 billion more than in the previous year.

Despite the competition from messenger services such as WhatsApp, as many e-mails have been sent in the past year in Germany. Individuals, businesses and other users have sent around 625.8 billion emails in 2016. In the previous year it was just under 80 billion less. This can be seen from a calculation of the e-mail providers WEB.DE and GMX. In their analysis, providers are based on the overall market numbers of other studies. Spam messages were not taken into account.

Social networks and online shops ensure growth

Social networks and online shops in particular flooded the electronic mailboxes of users and customers. They are the main reason for the further increase in the use of e-mail. Services such as Facebook, Amazon, or Linkedin regularly send their customers notifications, invoices, and reminders via e-mail.

Since the emergence of corresponding services, according to Web.de and GMX the number of e-mails sent continuously increases. For the coming year the providers forecast a further increase by 17 percent to 732.2 billion e-mails. Web.de and GMX count as Yahoo, Google or T-Online to the stags among the e-mail providers. These providers offer mostly free e-mail addresses - this is financed by, among other things, advertising.
