Recover deleted photos, audio, and video files from mass storage devices.
Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery 5
With every personal computing device — be it a digital camera, tablet, or a mobile phone — these days features a snapper to let you capture memories at any time. Digital photographs being data stored on any device's storage memory is prone to accidental deletion or data corruption. While there are several data recover tools, the ones that work well are usually quite expensive. If you are looking for something specifically to recover photos, utilities such as Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery can come to your rescue.
As compared to the previous iteration of the software, version 5 sports a better interface, but covers similar features with support for more camera formats and mass storage devices. A major turn-off on when using the product is that it continues to suffer from certain issues as observed in the older version — it could do with a few more options to tweak searches and a better way to track the recovery progress. A few menu options, and a little more clarity with instructions on the UI would have been useful. While the applictaion is free to download, you need to purchase the registration key for recovering your data. On the plus side though, the software seems light on system resources. Although adding audio and video recovery is a nice touch, it seems a bit too high-priced; just toss in a few hundreds more and you can get a better recovery tool such as R-STUDIO, or even the free-to-use PC Inspector tool.
Bored of playing the usual games on your Android smartphone?
This week, we’ll bring you a few ‘different’ games that might tread a distinct path in terms of playability and fun. Augmented Reality has been in existence since a couple of years now, but it hasn’t really hit the mainstream path, at least as far as games are concerned. A couple of AR apps have been extremely popular, but in the games genre, the content is pretty limited. Mind you, these games are best played in a controlled environment. Here’s our list:
1.Droid Shooting
One of the most addictive AR games for Android, Droid Shooting makes your boring background come to life with droids attacking you from every nook and corner. It utilises your camera, and makes it a viewfinder for your battlefield. Also, there’s a radar, so you know where those evil Droids are coming from. With a variety of guns to choose from, this one is pretty good fun, and if you incorporate pass-and-play, then you’ll make it even more fun! There’s a time limit as well before another wave of droids come to attack you, so you need to be quick on your reflexes to get them out of the way.
The best part is that the game works even on low-end devices with little to no lag. However, we would have loved it if the droids had integrated a little more with the environment. Imagine, one hiding behind a chair, and you sneak up on it and blast its head off. Some brilliant droid shooting droid action. Nevertheless, a well-made game, which goes easy on system resources as well. DOWNLOAD HERE:ANDROID
2.Parallel Kingdom
This one is one of the most popular games for Android and it has already been nominated for a couple of awards, including best MMO, best Augmented Reality Game, most creative use of iPhone hardware and best use of location services. Yes, it’s cross platform as well with over one million players in over 100 countries.
A few of the features include:
Entirely free-to-play, can purchase in-game currency or trade with other players
Fully customizable avatars
Weekly community events and updates
Over 20 leaderboards with weekly rewards
Trade Hubs allow open player-to-player trading
Buy, sell, or trade everything from raw materials to swag
Themed chat rooms
The game’s idea is to slay epic monsters in dark dungeons or battle the dragons lurking right in your own backyard. You can travel to far-off lands and conquer anything that stands in your way, while claiming territory, as you go. The plan of action is based on what you want to do with your territory. Usher in a new age of peace and prosperity, or forge a war machine capable of raiding the world’s greatest cities.
3.Skeeter Beater This one is included primarily because it’s remniscent of a very nostalgic game we used to play on our phones, when Symbian was a big deal. Unlike Parallel Kingdom, this is a more simplistic and casual game. The strategy involves you to carefully beat the Skeeters, till you reach the required number for the round. Then you take a more aggressive approach as misses no longer result in point loss. Focusing on slower Skeeters first sometimes resuls in a combo shot on a passing by fast Skeeter.
Each round becomes increasingly difficult with faster Skeeters, shorter time limits, and higher required scores. Bonus Mode is entered when enough points to pass a round has been obtained. Bonus Mode lasts for the remainder of the round, allowing for additional points without risking point deductions. Each round ends when the time is up or when all Skeeters for the round have been beaten. The game can be played in two modes - 2D and 3D. The 3D Mode allows you to utilize phone sensors to track Skeeters in a full 360 degree range of motion.The 2D Mode restricts Skeeters' movements in proximity to the screen. Phone movement has no effect on the game. We suggest you definitely give 3D a try.

4.Paintball
Last, but not the least, Paintball lets you get into the action with your friends. It lets you experience the heart-pumping action of a game of paintball on your Android phone in some awesome Augmented Reality. Choose from a variety of paintball guns, from your standard marker to industrial-grade paintball grenade launchers to cause maximum damage to your friends. Beware of damage from your friends - your screen flashes when you're hit. The only minor niggle we had with this game was that the screen would flash for a second, like a flash grenade, when we’d actually just shot somebody, and that has a minor hit on concentration.
Of course you can play by yourself, as well, but multiplayer action is just awesome. Basically, you choose the colour of your enemy (preferably based on their shirt colour) and choose teams. So A shoots red and B shoots blue and the numbers get added up to see who won and who lost, at the end of the level. A free-for-all Wi-Fi bloodbath. The score matters, so watch your back!

Everything you do with iPad, you do through its large, beautiful display. And when the display is better, the entire iPad experience is better. The Retina display on the new iPad features a 2048-by-1536 resolution, 44 percent greater color saturation, and an astounding 3.1 million pixels — in the same 9.7-inch space. That’s four times the number of pixels in iPad 2 and a million more than an HDTV. Those pixels are so close together, your eyes can’t discern individual ones at a normal viewing distance. When you can’t see the pixels, you see the whole picture. Or article. Or game. In ways you never could before.
Breakthrough technology. For a breakthrough display.
In order to create a display with four times the pixels, we had to design it in a completely new way. You see, every pixel in a display has multiple signals telling it when to light up. But when you have a lot of pixels and a lot of signals on the same plane, signals get crossed and image quality suffers. To make sure everything on the new iPad looks crystal clear, Apple engineers elevated the pixels onto a different plane — separating them from the signals. It’s technology that’s breakthrough. Just like the new iPad itself.
More power on display.
The Retina display on the new iPad wouldn’t be possible without the new and powerful A5X chip. It drives power to every one of the 3.1 million pixels in the display. And its quad-core graphics processing makes everything you do on iPad feel incredibly responsive. From the little things like swiping, scrolling, and pinching to the big things like editing photos in the new iPhoto, applying filters and transitions in iMovie, and, of course, playing games. Instant on. Touch and go.
You use your iPad all the time. A few minutes here, an hour or so there. And each time you press the Home button or open the Smart Cover, it’s ready to go. Instantly. That’s the work of flash storage. It’s fast and reliable, so you can get to your apps and do whatever you need to do, pronto. Battery life spared.
The new iPad features a Retina display with four times the pixels of iPad 2 and quad-core graphics. How much of an effect does that have on battery life? Almost none. You still get up to 10 hours of power to read, watch, play, write, and create whatever you want, all you want.1 Shoot 5-megapixel still images.
The 5-megapixel iSight camera features a backside illumination sensor that captures great-looking pictures whether by sunlight or candlelight. Autofocus, tap to focus, and tap to set exposure functions mean every photo you take instantly becomes a frameworthy gem. And with built-in face detection that automatically balances focus and exposure across up to 10 faces, there’s more room for more grins. So everyone look at iPad
Talking is the new typing.
Write an email. Send a text. Search the web. Or create a note. And do it all with only your voice. Instead of typing, tap the microphone icon on the keyboard. Then say what you want to say while your iPad listens. Tap Done and, just like that, your spoken words become written words. Dictation also works with third-party apps, so you can do things like update your Facebook status or share a thought on your Twitter feed. Over 200,000 apps to choose from.
The App Store is home to over 200,000 apps and counting — all made just for iPad. And many of them are free. You buy apps from the App Store using the same Apple ID you use to buy music from iTunes. Find an app you like, tap to buy it, and it starts downloading instantly. iPad lets you know when updates are available, so your apps are always current.
A cover with magnetic appeal.
What a smart pair. iPad and the iPad Smart Cover, that is.6 Smart magnetic technology built into each one really pulls them together. The iPad Smart Cover snaps perfectly into place to protect your iPad screen. Open the Smart Cover and your iPad wakes up. Close it and your iPad goes to sleep. Fold the Smart Cover and it becomes a stand. It’s all just so, well, smart.
