Fish Fact: Who has the biggest?


The only 'reel deal sportfishing team'

 My friends from the “reel deal sportfishing team”, Elie & Joe are hunting every week the biggest, largest fish of the UAE in the Arab sea right in front of Dubai. The surrounding areas down in Fujairah show also nice fishing yards. Kingfish, Mahi Mahi, Queen Fish, Tuna, Barracuda or some of our black tails shark get on the hook and you can image all sizes. 



Catch of the day, Kingfish for the BBQ



What I know of the past are those stories of the fishers who talk on their regulars' table about the size of the catch of the day and telling myths. Fish Fact should at least stop the hyperbole. The app for iOS measures the length of fish on the basis of a photo.

Even when fishing matters from time to time on the size and some fisher tend to swagger in their narratives like a fairy tale it stays as a fish story. Well modern world does not stop even here; the iOS app Fish Fact does thus put an end. Under the motto "show a picture or it never happened" exposes the application the truth. 

The idea for Fish Fact is from the makers of Bissclipi.tv - a fishing video magazine. The app makes ruler and measuring tape unnecessary and should be able to provide further information about the fish length. 

For the measurement, the angler must be photographed with his catch. Then, the user specifies the display measurement points. Fish Fact calculates the length of the fish. 

Of course you can send images directly to friends and colleagues bragging anglers. The measurement results can also distribute via Facebook, Twitter or email. Angler where size does not matter, Fish Fact can simply use as simple photo app. 

Fish Fact is now available in Apple's App Store for a price of $ 1.99. The application requires at least iOS 7 and is compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. 

This should be the next fishing trip nothing in the way. In this sense, good catch.

What's cooking at Apple, will iPad get a split-screen mode ?

maybe with iOS 8 - Drag & Drop - similar to Microsoft Surface and Samsung Tablets

For the upcoming iOS 8 release, ​​software manufacturer Apple apparently wants to implement a key feature of the competition. According to a report from 9to5Mac, it is at least on the iPad in future the possibility to directly represent two apps side by side.

Split-Screen

Such functions have been around for a long time in desktop operating systems. But in the mobile space this is mainly known from Samsung's smartphones and tablets as well as the Microsoft Surface. The split-screen view has the advantage to simultaneously read an article and have a second window for taking notes. Apple so obviously hopes to meet the business area in which such functions are very popular.

Apple iPad split-screen
The implementation is intended to allow drag and drop between two apps. In addition, Apple is working according to the report on inter-process interface that will allow users to interact with two programs each other.

Whether it turns out the report as applicable, will probably turn out in a few weeks: On 2 June, the World Wide Developers Conference from Apple is launched ans the presentation of iOS 8 is expected.

Apple and the US Law Enforcement

What is Apple able to copy from your locked iPhone/iPad device


New legal guidelines released by Apple for use by US law enforcement make clear just how much data the company can retrieve from your locked apple device when asked kindly by police. Using its secret internal tools, Apple can access and copy texts, contacts, photos, videos, call history, and audio recordings made on the device. All of this requires a valid search warrant, and there are some pieces of data that even Apple won’t be able to extract.

My locked iPhone does not safe all my data.
These guidelines are intended to serve as a quick reference of what types of information law enforcement can expect to get out of a suspect’s smartphone. Apple says it can only extract the data from its own built-in apps like Messaging, Photos, and Phone. If the user was using third-party apps, Apple can’t rip that data free from a locked iOS device. Likewise, its own apps are inaccessible in the event the device owner has encrypted content using the passcode. Email and calendar entries aren’t accessible through this method at all.

Police might still be able to get emails sent and received on the device, but not from the device itself. That data would require access to the suspect’s iCloud, and thus, a subpoena for Apple to hand it over. Depending on how a person uses Find My iPhone, these messages might also contain some location information, but Apple doesn’t keep GPS data on devices.

Apple makes clear in the document that it will only extract data at its Cupertino headquarters. Law enforcement must have the device delivered there and provide removable storage to save the recovered files. This is probably a safety measure to keep the tools from ending up in the wrong hands. There are plenty of nefarious individuals who would love to crack open a locked iPhone.
