Starting out from a weird “phablet” device, Samsung's Note series of smart products have grown to become a complete line-up, which today includes a 5.5” phablet, a 10.1” tablet, and now a smaller, 8” tablet. The Galaxy Note 8.0 keeps the characteristic feature of the series, namely the S Pen stylus, which seems to be getting more and more capable with each new iteration. As with the Note 10.1, the Note 8.0 will probably have some tough time because its direct competitor is the Apple iPad mini. Apple's smaller tablet is already enjoying some notable demand, which comes to show that there's money to be made in this device category. Another popular device, which is also dangerously close to the Note 8.0 is the Nexus 7. Being so aggressively priced, Google's 7” tablet sure is a force to be reckoned with. With such mighty competitors, it's very interesting to see what the Galaxy Note 8.0 is going to offer. Has Samsung loaded its product with enough features? Will the S Pen play its part and provide the Note 8.0 with some much needed differentiation? Read on to find out! Design Surprise is the last thing you can feel upon opening the box of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0. The tablet has Samsung's traditional design language, which gives it a kind of a retro look with those rounded corners. This kind of design actually works quite well for the Note 8.0, which doesn't look bad at all. As always, this Samsung device uses smooth, glossy plastic for its exterior, which we appreciate. It makes the Note 8.0 easy and comfortable to hold. The Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 is easy and comfortable to hold The Home button, as well as the ones around the sides of the Galaxy Note 8.0 function very well. Only the power button could have been a bit better, but it's not too bad the way it is. All in all, we like what Samsung has done with the design of the Note 8.0. The device isn't anything groundbreaking, especially when compared to something like the iPad mini, but it's OK and is quite comfortable to use. Thanks to its light weight of 11.92 oz (338 g), it's also easy to hold with just one hand – something very important for an 8” tablet. The sides of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 Display The Galaxy Note 8.0 doesn't surprise with some kind of innovative display technology. It simply has a quality LCD TFT screen with a resolution of 800 x 1280 pixels. This makes for a pixel density of 189 ppi, which is certainly not too high, and that's easy to notice when using the tablet. In terms of clarity, the Note 8.0 positions itself below the Nexus 7 but above the iPad mini, which has an even lower pixel density. Anyways, Samsung's newest tablet has just enough resolution to make everything readable without annoying you, but yeah, it won't blow you away with super-sharp visuals. Viewing angles are pretty decent, and so is outdoor visibility, as the display is able to get quite bright. At the same time, we're glad to report that it can also get very dark, which is very valuable when using the device in the dark. S Pen The signature feature of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 is, of course, the S Pen stylus that can be used for stuff like note-taking and drawing. The stylus itself fits into its silo very tightly, so there's absolutely no chance of it falling by accident. The S Pen is big enough to be comfortable to hold, although it probably would have been even better if it was a tad bigger. Still, it's OK the way it is right now. The signature feature of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 is, of course, the S Pen stylus As you probably know, Samsung has worked with Wacom, the company that makes professional grade tablets for designers, in order to integrate some of its technology in the Note 8.0. As a result, the stylus is pressure-sensitive, and we're more than happy to say that writing with it is actually quite convenient. Sure, most people will probably find it harder to write with the S Pen than with a real pen, but the difference seems to be surprisingly small.

Anyone who has already gone through Samsung Galaxy Note 3 review knows that the smartphone ranks among the best ones money can buy. It is an embodiment of high-end technology, and even though it doesn’t come cheap, it offers quite a lot of bang for its buck, not to mention that the hardware tucked under its hood makes it quite future-proof. And yes, as you might guess, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is indeed better than its year-old predecessor, namely the Samsung Galaxy Note II. But what exactly makes it better and what has its maker improved upon in order to impress us this time around? And most importantly, is the Note II still worth holding on to now that its third iteration is out? Read on to find out. Design We can only commend Samsung for treating its phablet to a solid hardware upgrade without that having a negative effect on the device's proportions. The width and height of the Galaxy Note 3 come really close to those of the year-old Note II (151.2 x 79.2 x 8.3 mm for the former vs 151 x 80.5 x 9.4 mm for the latter), with the new model being only slightly taller, yet a hair narrower and noticeably thinner. Moreover, at 168 grams, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is 14 grams lighter than the Note II, and is a tad easier to handle as a result. Of course, one can simply forget about using the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 single-handedly as it is still as challenging to wield as its predecessor. But at the end of the day, that's a common trait for all phablets, so we can't complain, especially when we're compensated with that huge, gorgeous touchscreen. While the Samsung Galaxy Note II and Note 3 fit in larger pockets, they are quite bulky and some users will find them uncomfortable to carry around. With its body made of glossy plastic, the Samsung Galaxy Note II looks and feels rather ordinary, especially now that we've grown tired of seeing the same design being rehashed over and over again. The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 can't be described as a luxury device either, but it feels better to the touch with its leather-like back plate. Unlike its glossy counterpart, the Note 3 resists fingerprints well and has a lot more grip thanks to its textured surface. Both the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and the Samsung Galaxy Note II come with removable back covers, underneath which reside the slots for their SIM and microSD cards. Their batteries are also found there and are user-replaceable. Physical buttons on both smartphones are arranged in an identical manner, with a physical “Home” key below the screen, accompanied by capacitive “Menu” and “Back” buttons. The power and volume buttons are placed on the right and left sides of these devices. We can gladly say that all buttons are easy to reach and operate. It is also nice that the capacitive keys on the Note 3 can be operated with the S Pen's tip. Speaking of which... Fullscreen ‹ PREV 1 of 11 NEXT › ‹ Prev Next 1.

S Pen The S Pen is a pressure-sensitive digital stylus included with both the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and the Galaxy Note II. It is one of the perks you get with any Note device, allowing you to draw on a virtual canvas or to take down hand-written notes, as well as to navigate through the interface and take advantage of the implemented S Pen features. While a recent teardown revealed that the Note 3 comes with a newer model Wacom digitizer (that is the component turning analog S Pen input into digital signals the phone can interpret), we find the S Pen on the Note II pretty much as precise and responsive as the one on its successor. Display Samsung has outfitted the Galaxy Note 3 with its best Super AMOLED screen to date. The panel, measuring 5.7 inches in diagonal, has a resolution of 1080 by 1920 pixels, as is now the norm for all high-end smartphones. Thanks to this high pixel count (386 ppi), graphics and text are represented clearly, in high detail. Colors are adjusted to appear slightly oversaturated by default – something typical for AMOLED tech – but an option in the display settings allows one to have them set at a much more natural level. The slightly smaller, 5.5-inch Super AMOLED screen on the Samsung Galaxy Note II sure looked great when we first saw it in person. But with a resolution of 720 by 1280 pixels (resulting in a density of just 265 ppi), it is unable to deliver the same level of smoothness and detail achieved by the Note 3's display. Color representation is, again, a bit exaggerated and somewhat less accurate, but it can be adjusted to a more natural setting via the options menu. One more thing that sets these two smartphones' screens apart is their brightness output. The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is relatively easy to use outdoors since its display shines quite brightly, while the Note II looks much dimmer when exposed to the sun's rays. Viewing angles are also better on the Note 3 as there's little color degradation when it is looked at from the side. The display on the Note II, on the other hand, turns blue even at moderate angles – not a deal breaker, but a flaw nonetheless.

1 You get slightly panicky when your phone is out of your line of sight. 2. …And ridiculously panicked when you accidentally leave it AT HOME. It’s like you’re missing a limb. 3. You sleep with your phone on your nightstand, or worse, IN your bed next to you. 4. Your friends tried to make you do this game, but you freaked out and grabbed your phone even though you had to buy a round of drinks. I mean, LOOK! That one’s lighting up! That could be a message for me! 5. You justify being on your phone all the time because you “might miss a work email.” 6. A cracked screen would never stand in YOUR way. 7. You prune and manage your apps like it’s the White House lawn. 8. You maintain three to five text threads/Snapchat chains going throughout most days. 9. At least once a week you freak out that you can’t find your phone, and then realize it’s in your hand. 10. Turning your phone off during a flight gives you horrendous PHOBIA. 11. …but also makes you excited, because you know when you turn it on, you’ll have tons of notifications to go through. 12. You insist that you can do two things at once — text AND walk, text AND listen! — but we all know that you cannot. 13. Seriously! Everyone can see you failing at this. 14. Sometimes you see an Instagram go up right away, but you wait 30 minutes to like it because you don’t want to seem lame. 15. You talk to it even when you know it would be easier to type your question into Google. 16. The only time you turn your phone off is on an airplane. Other than that, it just goes on silent. 17. You try not to do this at concerts, but you do it anyway. 19. You feel kind of dejected when you sneak a peek at your phone after a long dinner or meeting and you have no new notifications. 20. The idea of having to leave your phone in the store for repairs makes you ill. 21. You don’t mind getting to the bar before the friend you’re meeting, because you’re justified in losing yourself in your phone until they get there. 22. You constantly catch yourself trying to open apps you’re already in.

He is a commitment phobe An immature man does not realize that he has to grow up and upgrade his life. He doesn’t want to commit to anyone. He will not dedicate his energy on something when he prefers to do something else like adore and make love to his new car perhaps. He will not spend quality time with you. This man will never give you a definite answer because he does not want to commit to anything or anyone. #He always points the finger Nothing is ever his fault. Instead, it is everyone else’s fault. Even when caught in the act of having a clandestine affair…it is not his fault that the lady he is having an affair with finds him irresistible. He will never accept blame and when he finds himself cornered he will be generous enough to share the blame with you. #He has never been in a meaningful relationship He has never had a steady relationship and it is always the girls’ he has dated fault. His dating stories are full of one night stands and relationships that lasted two or three weeks and guess what honey, your relationship with him will not last either. Dating an immature guy is like a full time hard labor, peanuts paying job. It is taxing, frustrating and exhausting # “I love you” are words that will never come out of his mouth This dude will admit to loving his car, watch, video games and apartment-that he can barely afford by the way- but he will never talk about his feelings for you. He will torture you emotionally especially if your maturity levels are far apart and if you want different things out of life. He will heap emotional baggage after emotional baggage on you and will leave you to repair the damage without ever feeling a thing for you. #He is very materialistic He is all about everything flashy and expensive. He has his heart set on German cars when he cannot afford them without a massive help from the bank. He will borrow loans to buy things that will just make him liable… smart tv, smart refrigerator, flashy tire rims just because his friend got a better one than his. The sad part is that he will not spend on you, even on special days like your birthday. While at it he will not save anything because he can barely afford his lifestyle. That’s when you know you are dealing with someone stuck in the world of a young boy. He never has money because he Is always busy entertaining what doesn’t really matter and he probably owes everyone he knows some money. #He is very inconsiderate The immature man is a very selfish man. What he wants is always more important than what you want. It is always and I mean ALWAYS about him. He will rarely pay you a compliment even when everyone else does. He is selfish with his compliments. Other people and their needs don’t bother him and you will find that because of his selfishness and not caring about other people’s feelings, he is very rude. #The surface is all there is to him This guy is one word “SHALLOW”. He has no depth to him which is surely bound to bore you (as his girlfriend) stiff. He has absolutely nothing exciting to share about his life. He has no inner secrets, no stories and no true emotions. He will go along with everyone else’s ideas and thoughts. He is so shallow and shallowness does not look good on anyone. #He has no real life plans This guy has no clue what he wants to do for a living. He is comfortable with being employed (he was lucky to get his current job) and has no clue how to progress in life or what direction to take. He has not invested in education and feels nothing for the same. Just being alive is enough for him. The rest will take care of itself or some foolish, blind, desperate woman will. He is that ” YOLO is my motto” man even with the dumb decisions he makes in life. #The ball will always be in your court Simple things like deciding what to cook for dinner he cannot do. That entails so much thinking for him so he lets you decide instead. He will always throw the ball back in your court. Just in case you need him to help you with a plan of action, forget it…you are better off asking a complete stranger in the streets to help you make a decision. He avoids having to make any decisions.If anything ever goes wrong or you need his help, he will never step up. All in all, an immature man is a man trapped in a moment and he can’t get out of it!

In recent times, Samsung has been quite the aggressive company in its quest to bring the beloved iPhone to its knees, which is evident by the insane amount of commercial spots showing off how its Galaxy S4 is already the next big thing. For most of the year, it has proven to be a force of immeasurable power, as it has reigned supreme in the Android landscape – while also giving Apple’s pride and joy some much-needed competition. Now that the iPhone 5s is finally here, it’s not looking to mess around with the competition, seeing that it intends on bringing back the spotlight to Apple’s warm glow. Heading into that crucial holiday season, these two titans are hell bent on fighting against one another to claim victory. Design This is an interesting comparison, since the iPhone 5s retains its predecessor’s design to the teeth – so there’s nothing particularly new about it. Regardless of that, the iPhone 5s continues to be the more premium looking smartphone between the two, which is aided by its brushed aluminum casing. Compared to the Galaxy S4’s glossy plastic casing, the iPhone 5s also exudes the more sturdy build quality with its construction. And finally, when it comes to the in-the-hand feel, the smaller figure of the iPhone 5s enables it to feel more natural in the hand – whereas the Galaxy S4 is just one wide smartphone to hold. All the signs might point to the iPhone 5s as being the better looking device between the two, but the Galaxy S4 still has a pleasant design of its own too, though, personal preference becomes the deciding factor in which of the two is the more favorable one. Although they share many common ports and buttons, each handset packs along its own unique set of goodies. Below the display of the iPhone 5s, its home button incorporates a nifty biometric fingerprint sensor dubbed Touch ID, which enables us to unlock the phone and confirm app purchases. With the Galaxy S4, it packs along a very useful IR blaster that turns the phone into a universal remote – a great thing to have when you can’t find the clicker. Lastly, the Galaxy S4 has an LED notification light and removable back cover that enables us to access its internal battery and microSD card slot.

Heel Raises Heel raises are excellent for developing a rounder butt. You can use ankle weights or resistance bands to maintain tension for better muscle growth in the glutes and hamstrings. 1. Begin on your hands and knees in a tabletop position. Drive the heel of one foot straight up towards the ceiling, maintaining a 90-degree angle at the knee. At the top of the movement, take a second to flex the glute muscles as you exhale. 2. Inhale as you slowly bring the knee back down, crossing it over the opposite knee. Tip: For a more intense workout, do 1 to 2 minutes on one leg, then continue with another 1 to 2 minutes on the same leg, but this time extending your leg straight out. Once this 2 to 4 minute set is complete, switch legs. Jump Squats Jump squats are great for gaining strength and burning fat. 1. To start, slowly lower yourself into a squat making sure your knees don't pass your toes. This is called the safe-squat position. 2. Next, spring up into a straight jump and land in the same safe-squat position. Repeat this movement continuously for 30 seconds. Single Leg Bridges Leg bridges are great for your booty and build sexy VS model legs. 1. Lie on your back with one foot flat on the ground and one leg straight up in the air. 2. Exhale as you place your weight into the heel of the foot on the ground and drive your glutes up aiming to make your body straight from shoulder to knee. At the top of the movement, flex your glutes and inhale as you slowly return to start position. Repeat this for 20 repetitions per leg, pulsing at the top for 10 seconds at the end of each set.

Setting up your own WordPress website can seem like a daunting task if you’ve never done anything like this before. Fortunately, one of the best things about using WordPress is that it’s so user-friendly and intuitive, just about anyone can do it! While the technical part of setting up a WordPress website isn’t really complicated, knowing what to put on your website and how to make it work for you can be a little bit more difficult. Here’s ten easy steps to getting started on WordPress. Simply follow these and you’ll be up and running in no time at all. Step 1: Define your site Before you do anything involving WordPress, you need to pick your niche. Trying to develop a WordPress website about something that’s been done 10,000 times isn’t going to prove terribly beneficial. If your WordPress site isn’t for an existing business, make sure you pick a topic that truly interests you, so that it won’t feel like a chore to work on and update your site now or months down the road. Step 2: Choose a domain name Your domain name should relate directly to the niche you chose in step 1, and it should be a name that’s so easy for users to remember that they never forget it. Doing some keyword research can also be helpful. Stuck on a particular name but .com is taken? Try .net or .co. Step 3: Hire a web host Your next step is to find a reliable web host to handle your site. What about a shared vs. dedicated server? In most cases, shared web hosting will be just fine and it very popular with WordPress users. Step 4: Install WordPress At the risk of stating the obvious, once you have found your web host and domain name, it’s time to install WordPress and get up and running. installing WordPress is incredibly easy and takes just minutes with our Softaculous script installer. Step 5: Choose a WordPress theme Next, you need to decide on a design theme for your WordPress site. There are thousands upon thousands of themes available, ranging from absolutely free to upwards of hundreds of dollars. When selecting your theme, try to ensure that it makes sense for both the topic of your site as well as the layout and content you plan to publish. Step 6: Configure your plugins A WordPress Plugin is a program written in the PHP scripting language, that adds a specific set of features or services to a WordPress website. WordPress plugins provide a great deal of customization and flexibility to your WordPress site, as well as valuable features and tools for your visitors. You may not start out with a ton of plugins, but the longer you use WordPress, the more you’ll find ones that benefit your site. Some of our favorites include JetPack and Yoast SEO. Step 7: Complete your administrative pages Important pages include your contact page, about page, privacy, and disclaimer page. Get these out of the way before you focus on adding content to your site - after all, it’s easier to add them now than later, when you’re done publishing all of the other, more exciting stuff! These pages also serve to protect both you and your site visitors. Step 8: Publish your content. Rinse. Repeat. After you get the important administrative pages published, it’s time to start adding interesting content. Whatever your niche, you want to make sure you include plenty of quality content for your readers. Make your pages visually rich and further, make it a priority to keep adding new content on a regular basis. If blogging, add at least one image to each and every post. Not only does this give your readers something to pin on Pinterest, it also makes your content more appealing. Whether you decide to add content daily, weekly, or monthly, creating a content calendar will help keep you on the right track. Step 9: Don't forget marketing Marketing your new site is a two-fold endeavor. First, there’s SEO (search engine optimization): make sure your pages have relevant keywords in the title, description, and body text. Second, take the time to promote your site in any way possible. Free options include the use of social media sites, forums, and emailing out a regular newsletter. You may also consider guest posting and commenting on blogs, forums, and communities to build up your social connections and link popularity. Step 10: Back up your site Your content is your most valuable asset, so make sure you back up your site! For your blog, that means backing up your content in case of a crash so you won’t have to start all over again. If you don’t back up posts, plugins, and affiliate links, it might take you a while before getting back on your feet. If you don’t have time to regularly back up your site, your web host should offer an alternative.
