Tip 1 : Tweak your Favorite music player

Enhance sounds

You can tweak your favorite  music player to get best of it , You can set equalizer to bass booster enhance the sound quality and set sound mode to high definition. I use iTunes so i'll be taking you through tweaking my favorite music player. Simply follow the steps below:

Step 1: Open up iTunes preferences

Step 2: Under iTunes preferences click on Playback tab

Step 3: drag the sound enhancer button to high (double click on image below to play)

Adjust equalizer settings

After you have enhanced your sound then its time to get a serious equalizer tweak for adjusting and applying equalizer effects just follow the simple steps below:

Step 1: click on window tab and then choose equalizer

Step 2: Choose your favorite equalizer setting in my case it's bass booster ( you may try bass booster its awesome)

Tip 2: Balance your stereo speakers/headphones 
Since left ear can hear music quite good than your right ear so balancing your stereo speakers to left might help a lot. Since im using OSX i'll be taking you through its steps ,you can perform similar task on sound settings under control panel on windows OS.

Step 1: Open up preferences

Step 2: Click on sound icon

Step 3: Now drag the button to left (click on image below to play)

It really worked for me , You give it a try if it doesn't works for you then use the default settings provided.

Tip 3: Always download high quality songs

If you want to enjoy good music with greater sound quality you can buy them , never download songs from website , if you want high quality songs you can get them on torrent( i don't recommend you doing this , its illegal) be sure to choose songs that are more than 200 kbps in bit rate.

Tip 4: Never download songs from particular website that gives you songs free of cost

Though this might not be applicable for all but it's the same on most of the website , the songs you get on those websites are mis labelled, without artwork , without artist name without album name and are of very low quality.

Tip 5: Use better headphones
Only using the better sounds might not work using better head phones gives you better boost to excellent hearing pleasure, I can recommend you to go through bose headphone they are cheap( not that cheap BTW) and produce better sound than any other headphones , Apple headphones works quite fine.

Reasons to choose Google chrome over other browsers

Its been since 4 years that google started  web browser Chrome and  it's already a big hit. In this post i'm going to list some strong  reasons, why you should go for  chrome.

1. It has got a good user interface, simple , yet good looking.I like its UI very much its sleek and simple.

2. Its way faster than any other browser, Its advanced caching abilities and faster javascript execution makes it fastest browser on the planet.

3. It supports for thousands of awesome addons like: ad blocker,Youtube video downloader and other awesome games on chrome web store.

4. Chrome has better memory handling than any other web browsers, you can open as many tabs you like, the crashing of one single tab won't affect another.

5. It has better security and has won several security awards , still we arguably can say it as  a most secured web browsers since all browsers have their own security policies.

6. You can sync your all bookmarks using your email-address , then they are stored in cloud so that you can access them from any devices.

7. Google chrome does not requires external flash it means it is pretty secured.(well you know how many times adobe exploits have been discovered basically on flash)

8. Google chrome has been a universal browser which is available on most of the platforms windows, mac,android and iOS.

Those are the only few reasons that you can choose to use chrome, however choosing a web browser depends upon your own needs , firefox fans user firefox for its versatility , addons compatibility and since it's a open source, many users modify for their own needs , like wise the new safari in mountain lion is way faster than chrome since safari is discontinued for windows you cant use safari in windows anymore.

Which browser do you think is the best?  , what are the reasons behind them? let me know in the comment section  below.

security measures after jailbreaking your iphone

After jail breaking you allow all the third parties to install and give them a freedom and main thing you forget is that your device is not up to apple anymore. If you really care about security i don't recommend you to jailbreak your device, however in long run jail breaking and finding exploits would lead IOS making more secure.
 To secure up your jailbroken device simply do through the processes/steps below

1. Change root passwords: I would highly recommend doing this , If you have installed open SSH on your devices then it is highly important that you change its default password. Else you have pretty big chance that you are getting hacked!! . The steps and details on changing root/SHH password can be found here>>

2. Repo : It is recommended that you dd sources only  from verified and legal repos , like i already said after jailbreak you leave your device to third party and let them gain freedom , to not happen this   do not add sources from unverified repos and do not install apps from those repos.

3. Third party apps: do not believe apps like apps that claim to update status from notification center and so on they may update status but keep track of you all the time stealing your confidential information.

4. Lockdown app: If you really care for privacy install this app from cydia store itself ,this app locks up apps ,messages and photos not letting any people go thorough your iphone.

How to completely remove traces from your computer?

You might have done things that you think that are private and confidential  on your computer and majority of people think that once it is done is done but it is completely not true. The tasks you carry out  are stored on a temporary memory or on a ram or somewhere on your hard disk. Your browsing history, Played movies, Open applications, deleted fotos are stored for a temporary use on some location. By knowing this you probably might want some hardcore privacy , In this tutorial ill be teaching you some privacy stuffs and get work done without leaving any traces on your computer. Just follow through the rest of the process below.

1. Clean up browsing history: Every website you visit are recorded by your web browser,  It is necessary that you clean   up browsing history to remain least anonymous . You can also use Private browsing feature available in safari , Private browsing does not records any history and cookies from visited websites also you can disable syncing on google chrome to prevent it from tracking you.

2. Clear recent items: To remain untracked you can clear recent items on windows to clear it press "windows +R" then type "recent" without quotes these items are the items that you are using recently, delete all those item of course to remove tracking and also to free up some memory on your computer.

3. Use third party apps : It is ideal that you use third party apps like Ccleaner its my personal best and most recommended that you use it and of course it is completely free , Also you can use softwares like tuneup utilities to clean files and remove up traces. These softwares can delete browsing history of all web browsers, Cookies, Temporary files even used by third party apps like Vlc, Skype and lot more.

4. Formatting:  You might be thinking that formatting a pendrive might permanently delete  the data stored on it then  you are on hugely misguided , actually you can use softwares like recuva to recover your data even from completely formatted pendrive. So when you format a pendrive format your pendrive make sure that you format pendrive not faster but n higher level of security , this feature is available on macosx (industry standard security) but you can use third party softwares on windows like ccleaner.

Note: Privacy apps and security helps you not to get tracked  however nothing is perfect, it depends on a person that how much he cares for his  privacy.

image source: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1150680

1. Decreased productivity:  you cannot  use E-mail means its not versatile at all, you can't use phone for any business purpose, for receiving messages on the go and you are not connected to your friends family and business in any way. No calender means no interactivity  , you can't  even know your life events , your friends birthday , No spreads sheets No excel , No presentation application , No photo editor means you're sure to live up a dumb ass life.

2. Bulky: You might not wish to hold a ugly phone in your hand well not at all in any way which directly and indirectly affects your personality. The design , attractiveness , personality and the class definitely matters.

3. ill managed life: You are deprived of current situation like stock , weather, events, documents  etc. Its a digital era - making a habit of writing digital notes, reading news on a digital device always keeps you informed it is always good because it  makes your life managed , it helps you keep track of activities , think of not having that feature in your phone. well now you might have probably thought the worst scenario of your life.

4. Memories not valued: Not having a good camera on a phone means your sweet memories are under valued , those who undervalue your good memories are the things you should ignore.

5. Non- revolutionary: we live in the digital era of information and technology, lacking a spirit of term IT in a mobile phone is itself a dumb ass object. No information , no communication between people , no daily news and information which hinder you from getting ahead , now one cant even think of getting this object.

6. Slower daily life activities : No acces to mail means to business on the go , Bulky keyboards itself feeing ugly , slowere typing , no documents , VGA camera which itself shows you ugly on the photo is probably not a good choice.

7. User interface: worst graphics quality, low resolution icons , not bad user interface !! now you can see where your life is,  well for me i can see myself on a pool of boredom.

8. Not meant for web: well its the must feature that a dumb ass phone lacks. old style browsers , non html5 supportive , non flash supportive , no good UI , No HCI , no access to daily news , no access to information on the web , non multimedia enhanced, non-communicative --well who wants a "NO" phone

By now you might have realized what really dumb ass phones are , i urge not to buy them because of  several reasons listed above however it's the money that counts , well you might have read my above reasons so whatever matters or counts leave it for now and go for a smartphone.

How to know the right time to wake up ?

You might know when to go for bed but might not know when to wake up.
Some people  feel that they get enough rest by sleeping for 6 hours whereas some might feel tired by sleeping long enough  for 10 hrs , it basically happens due to sleep cycle .

Its a cycle that happens  for 90 minutes ( 65 mins normal , 20 mins non- rapid eye movement and 5 mins rapid eye movement ). Sleep cycle impacts mentality of waking up. waking  at end or beginning of sleep cycle you feel like rested , cool  and morning full of energy while waking up at peak hour makes  you feel like unrested, tired and not completed sleep.

By now you might have understood  long sleep doesn't matters anymore rather the sleep cycle. so how to get perfect timing for waking up ??

I've got an super awesome idea for you. Before you goto  bed just go to this website>> or if you have an iphone you can download "sleep cycle"app  from the app store . After you have downloaded this app or have visited the website then  give your time when you are going to sleep  you'll get the suitable wake up times.
