The Galaxy Note 8 and iPhone X have the some common features – including their cell phone ratios, brilliant introductory prices, edge less displays and dual cameras. Nevertheless, the top smartphones ultimately serve different user needs, as our equipment comparison shows.

Galaxy Note 8 compared to iPhone X

When mobile phone fans get into the purgatory of vanities, then the new noble smartphones of Samsung and Apple are to blame. This time, however, both manufacturers are pouring oil into the fire with their more than hefty introductory prices of around 1,000 euros (Galaxy Note 8) and 1,150 euros (iPhone X). For this, one must expect exclusivity, because so much money is not really a smartphone. Both manufacturers move here in the price class of very good notebooks, which last many years and are not shifted more or less gently to the siding after two years. The latter is however admitted mainly an Android problem.

“Borderless” design in comparison: Galaxy Note 8 against iPhone X

In spite of all the enthusiasm for the great screens, they are not, of course, either borderless. On the top of the iPhone X, there is a notch that Apple would like to establish as a new trademark of the iPhones of the next decade. Apple even advises its developers in the design guidelines not to hide the notch. Fans should stop worrying accordingly and instead learn to love the score – as strange as it may seem.

The Galaxy Note 8 screen differs in two respects: There are narrow black bands on the upper and lower sides, but on the long sides, the edges are not as good as the bent edge display. This has advantages and disadvantages. The look is pretty cool, and the screen content is not cropped, in turn, the contrast decreases in the curves, if one pays attention.

The Samsung screen takes roughly 85 percent of the front, which is very good. With the iPhone X, however, this value should be higher again. The iPhone X is handier as it is two centimeters shorter and 20 grams lighter. Samsung has a stylus for the fans, according to the manufacturer. Who does not count to these, but it will be too small and nice, but not exactly essential. Both phones are Waterproof.

Top OLED screens now also available for iPhone X

The display quality of both models is first class. We suspect that the Galaxy Note 8 and the iPhone X do not give much in this regard since Samsung probably produces the OLED panels for both models. The Note-8-Screen convinces in our test with excellent color rendering and a top brightness of over 700 cd / m虏. According to Apple, the iPhone X is supposed to be over 600 cd / m虏 – both are so bright that you can easily recognize content in sunshine.

Samsung offers with the Galaxy Note 8 a huge image diagonal of 6.3 inches with 2.960 x 1.440 pixels. This corresponds to a crack-sharp 521 pixels per inch / inch (ppi). Apple’s screen is 5.8 inches in comparison smaller (as large as the Galaxy S8), but is of course still huge. Thanks to the resolution of 2,436 x 1,125 pixels, the iPhone X with a still excellent image clarity of 458 ppi. The differences will not be visible to the naked eye (without the help of VR glasses).

Similar dual cameras in Both Galaxy Note 8 and iPhone X

12 megapixels, dual camera with standard and 2x telesensor – both supported by an optical image stabilizer -, very fast autofocus. As far as the cams of the Galaxy Note 8 and iPhone X sound very similar. Samsung has barely outperformed on the paper with the maximum aperture of F1.7 for the standard sensor and F2.4 for the telesensor opposite the iPhone X, which offers F1.8 / F2.4.

In addition to the size of the pixels (which Apple does not yet name), the firmware plays an important role. Which mobile phone camera shoots the better pictures, cannot be assessed in advance. The Galaxy Note 8 has a very good picture quality with daylight and twilight light, and also the quality of the 2x-zoom pictures can convince us. The most beautiful photos in bad light shoot according to our measurements currently but the HTC U11. We are curious to see if Apple can take the lead here.

Video fans also get more from Apple: the iPhone X captures clips in either 4K with up to 60 fps or full HD with up to 240 fps. The latter for slow-motion videos in good quality. The Galaxy Note 8 reaches 4K30 or 1080p60. As is to be heard, Samsung wants to update 4K60 by the update.

Which is stronger? Galaxy Note 8 or iPhone X?

In the lead, Apple will be synonymous in terms of processor line. There are no official benchmarks from the Apple A11 processor with six cores; According to benchmarks, both single-core and multi-core performance in the synthetic Geekbench test could be almost twice as high as that of the eight-core Exynos 8895, which is found in Galaxy Note 8. This, of course, remains to be seen. Although the Galaxy Note 8 reacts very quickly and gave us in the test no reason for criticism, the iPhone X will probably be synonymous with everyday life a bit faster.

Apple also uses the power for a sophisticated facial recognition system that analyzes 30,000 facial features in seconds and sounds comfortable and safe. But also tests have yet to confirm. Samsung also offers facial and iris recognition, both of which work quite well but are simpler to knit and can not replace the universal comfort of a well-placed fingerprint scanner.

With the iPhone X, Apple wants to make other augmented reality presentable applications. This lets you, for example, display names of objects in real-time when you place the Handycam on it or place virtual objects in the “real” space. Whether Apple will make this breakthrough, the app selection and quality of the next few months will show.

We also expect that the battery life of both models in our test is roughly comparable (around ten hours), the iPhone X with the included supposedly not fast-charging power supply but significantly longer to be fully operational.

The Galaxy Note 8 and the iPhone X are therefore aimed at different users: the first to Android fans, who are looking for a stylish and modern giant-phone and absolutely want the stylus – no matter how much it costs. Galaxy Note 8 is comparatively cheaper than iPhone X. The iPhone X is the years’ most exciting toy for iPhone fans and also for well-heeled engineering enthusiasts an option who are willing to spend a few hundred euros.

Blog Traffic – This is a topic that might have been written about a hundred times by 100 different bloggers but still, you keep reading them again and again as and when new and attractive titles make you click on them. It is because; you expect something new that you might not have known about hitherto.

You are not alone, blogger; just about every serious blogger who wants his blog to be read by thousands of people irrespective of the quality of the content on his blog, doesn’t want to miss out reading about new ways to bring visitors to his blog.

As a blogger with 12 years of experience, let me tell you one thing frankly. There have been no new ways to increase  Blog Traffic since the last 6 years. In fact, I would say some of the very effective ways of blog marketing have died/abandoned due to the increased popularity of social media, especially Facebook.

For example, there were some very good loggers communities that were closed. One such community called, “My Blog Log” owned by the big fish Yahoo! was closed in spite of high usage by millions of bloggers.

Well, still bloggers with long-standing repute continue to stay afloat in the blogosphere because they still practice the old method of blogging that doesn’t require much marketing effort. Shall we peruse them?

Raising Blog Traffic Tips 1: The frequency of blog posting.

Let me ask you one thing. You are a person who is not well organized. You run your home shabbily. You keep going to shops to buy groceries and essential almost daily. Suppose there are two outlets nearby your home to fulfill your needs. One is a big shop and the other one is run by a petty peasant who is very punctual in the opening and closing of his shop and never declare holidays and the bigger shop is just the opposite. Which will be your favorite of the two shops?

Your answer is obvious-right?

Similarly, in order to keep your old and new readers coming to your blog, you must update your blog very regularly. You need not have to update it on a daily basis but maintain your schedule and stick to your commitment. If you have decided to blog three times a week on such and such days, don’t fail. Do it for the first 12 months and see the result. Your blog traffic increase for sure.

See the result when you deliberately break your schedule.

You will then be more regular than the SUN and your blog traffic will ease.

Raising Blog Traffic Tips 2: Participate in web communities:

New aspiring bloggers, as well as veterans, should know your name in the blogosphere. This is possible only by participating in web communities such as Quora or discussion forums such as Digital Point Forum.

Quora is a high-end question and answer platform where people ask their doubts on myriad subjects and experts answer them sincerely which will bring more blog traffic. When you start answering the question on niches of your expertise, new questioners will post questions and prod you to answer. As you keep answering sincerely, Quora will indicate how many questions you have answered on your niche and how many of them have been ‘upvoted’ against your profile name. Over a period of time, when you have gained the number of views, whatever you say on your expert topic will be taken seriously.

When your name appears on other web communities and blog comments, readers will read your input because they respect your knowledge on your chosen topic. And they will try to peep in to your blog there by your blog traffic will increase tremendously.

As of composing this blog post, there are about 20 busy “communities for bloggers” to participate; use them as a platform to promote your blog posts to bring more blog traffic.

Similar to web/blog communities, there are respected discussion forums on the Internet that every blogger, online entrepreneur, and webmaster should signup and contribute. Forums are in hundreds, some are general and many are on a specific subject such as blogging, money making, makeup and fashion, health, politics, and literature. Every one of those communities are the treasure troove for blog traffic to your site.

The main idea of participating in a forum is to introduce yourself first and read all the threads in the forum for a week or so and then start posting your questions and answer others’ questions very sincerely. Do not just answer something irrelevant or meaningless just to get your name in.

Slowly, you will gain new readers and they will become loyal to your inputs.  You can also be loyal to the others’ answers and start befriending them, This is the first goal for you ie. get known and know others.

Leave nice comments about others’ blogs and that action of yours would be reciprocated. This helps everyone.

When this happens, your blog URL which is your signature that appears at the foot of all your posts in the forum will get clicks which is the best way to bring blog traffic. Persist this method and in a year, your blog traffic would have skyrocketed.

Raising Blog Traffic Tips 3: Keywords inclusion:

First, understand how readers land on your blog. You cannot send a personal invitation to each and everyone-right?

• You let the search engine do this work for you.
• And how will you tell the search engine what is on your blog?
• It is done by way of inserting the right keywords in your blog content that gets picked up by the search engines as and when the same keywords are used by the users to key in the search box of Google or Yahoo!

Raising Blog Traffic Tips 4: Are you beginning to understand how the Internet works basically?

There are certain rules to the insertion of keywords such as:

• The number of times you place the keywords in the content
• The places where they are effective
• Usage of the synonyms of the keywords
• The style and color of the used keywords

This is a big topic for all internet marketers not only just focusing blog traffic and you will become a professional only by experience.

Raising Blog Traffic Tips 4: Using the Blog Traffic Analytic metrics.

All the above steps would fetch results provided you keep monitoring your blog traffic using the correct web tools as such as Google Analytics, the most trustworthy software. The learning curve is a bit steep at the beginning but once you are used to it, you will start tweaking your blog content, usage of keywords so as to bring more readers to your blog.

Blogging is no longer a mere online diary. It is a business for individuals and also a business tool for brands for which blog traffic is the soul. If you want to make your blog stand out against millions of blogs, you must keep bringing new readers and keep the existing loyal readers happy by providing content that will solve their problems.

Illustrious figures of the sports, artists, and celebrities of Hollywood are the victims of Instagram HACK.

It seems that computer attacks become very normal nowadays. A few weeks ago the objective of the hackers was HBO. Now they turn their eyes into the Instagram.

The Instagram, the social network under the shield of Facebook suffered a breach of security few days ago. It was solved but resulted in the infringement of millions of profiles.

According to reports , the group of hackers who attacked Instagram, known as ‘Doxagram’, took to steal information from millions of accounts. At first, it was thought that the affected profiles were only those that were verified with the blue insignia, but from ‘Doxagram’ confirmed to the portal The Daily Beast that they had in their power data of six million of them.

The hackers further detailed that they possess data of 50 of the Instagram  accounts with more followers in Instagram. Among them are celebrities and athletes, and even detailed that the account of the President of the United States was also a victim.

In the material collected there would be telephone numbers and email accounts, all of which was put up for sale on the Dark Web.

Instagram co-founder Mike Krieger noted that the bug was fixed quickly. However, he advised users to be alert to any suspicious activity.

We recommend people to modify their password as soon as possible. Also, enable 2-step authentication to prevent them from entering the profile from an unauthorized device.

An Instagram vulnerability allowed hackers to seize the profiles of millions of users, including Selena Gomez, phone numbers, and email accounts.

Although the hacking happened on Tuesday 29 August, the social network of images revealed today that there were six million affected accounts, out of a total of 700 million users who are currently registered. From the company said they have solved the vulnerability.

“After further analysis, we determined that this problem also affected some unverified accounts,” said Instagram co-founder and technical director Mike Krieger on the official blog.

“While we can not determine which specific accounts may have been affected, we believe it was a low percentage,” he said.

According to the source, the list of profiles of celebrities comprises of personages of the sport, artists, and celebrities. Emma Watson, Emilia Clarke, Zac Efron, Leonardo Di Caprio, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Floyd Mayweather, Zinedine Zidane, Neymar and Ronaldinho, among others, are among the 1,000 people affected by the hackers.

To make matters worse, hackers published the private data of the victims in the database of the site Doxagram – now it is not available – and they offered for the modest sum of 10 dollars.

In this regard, Instagram confirmed that it is “working with the police” to combat the sale of stolen information by the hackers. “We encourage people to be vigilant about the security of their account and be careful if they encounter any suspicious activity, such as calls, texts, and unacknowledged emails,” Krieger concluded.

China has announced it wants to launch a ‘flying train’, capable of reaching speeds of between 1,000 and 4,000 kilometers per hour.

It is called T-Flight and, in practice, would mean multiplying by ten the speed that currently reaches the fastest bullet train in the world, or quadruples the speed of commercial flights.

Behind this target is the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC).

The “flying train” would consist of a series of capsules that would use magnetic levitation to reach those supersonic speeds.

We expect it to be something truer and more concrete than the high-powered bus that has been spinning for weeks, this time the Chinese are going to Hyperloop with a kind of flying train that actually flies into a completely isolated tunnel.

They speak of a vehicle capable of moving on the surface at 4,000 kilometers per hour. The protagonists are much more serious in this new episode of Chinese technological histories since we are before the work of the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation, better known as CASIC. It is a state-owned company, which makes everything from trucks to rockets, so they are familiar with speed.

As according to the Mono-live.com which is sharing the hot technology news tells us that the prototype that Hyperloop and Elon Musk started to form has ranged the speed of 355 kilometers per hour, and is jutting to exceed 1,000 kilometers per hour. It is an amazing figure that is mechanically stand out by the content of the Chinese company.

The Chinese flying train would boast a speed ten times faster than the current fastest train – in China -, would also leave conventional passenger aircraft badly.

What is this flying train really?

For the so-called “flying train” bases its operation on an idea similar to Hyperloop, that is, pods that go inside a tube, in which the movement is produced by magnetic levitation.

Yes, all very conceptual, many promises and no dates, but also many patents on the table that give value to the matter: more than 200 documents handled CASIC people for the project.

Overcoming the speed of sound in such a device should not be transparent to the user, so the system designer – Mao Kai – ensures that the acceleration will be very well measured to achieve such high speeds.

China wants to have such a fast transport system for the country’s internal movement, but also plans to expand the network between the countries that form the new silk route, which they call ‘One Belt, One Road’.
