Last week Yes 4G released a revolutionary application for iOS devices that they promise will change the way we use our iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. Yes Life iOS App is their latest innovation which allows iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch users to make & receive calls, SMS, call from oversea at a low IDD rates, plus enjoy no roaming charges (3G data charges may apply) while abroad.
The reason I say it’s revolutionary is because previously we can only use Yes 4G service on PC via Yes Life PC version and on 4 specific Yes devices namely Yes Buzz, Yes Go, Yes Huddle and Yes Zoom. Now with the new Yes Life iOS app we can even enjoy the 4G network using our iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch!
Managing Director of YTL Group, Tan Sri Francis Yeoh, Addressing Us At The Beginning Of The Event
Yes 4G network is run on a SIM-less architecture that is utilizing unique IDs and does not require a SIM card. So, we just need to install Yes Life app on our iOS device and sign up a unique Yes ID then we are good to go. A 018 phone number will be given during the signup process as well.
CEO of YTL Communication, Wing K. Lee, Introducing Yes4G Latest Innovation Yes Life For iOS
By running Yes Life iOS app, we can have 2 phone numbers on the iPhone, one is the phone number on the SIM card and another will be Yes 4G’s 018 number. Besides, Yes Life iOS app transforms the iPad, iPad2 or iPod touch into a mobile phone, which we can make/receive calls and SMS on all these devices.

Yes Life App For iOS Devices & The Unofficial FAQ
The term web hosting is not something new to all web designers and website administrator as we will somehow need to deal with it either for the clients or for our own website. Initially we probably will choose a shared hosting to begin with and then eventually consider upgrading to Virtual Private Server or Dedicated Server when the website outgrows the resource allocation of the shared hosting package.
Shared hosting packages usually have lower resource limit in term of CPU and memory (RAM) allocation as compared to Virtual Private Server and Dedicated Server. Low resource limit is the main problem a website will face when it starts to get more visitors because the same server resources (CPU & RAM) are shared among many other websites on the same server as well. On top of that, limited freedom in server configuration on shared hosting account would be another reason for many website administrators to upgrade the hosting account. Therefore, a Virtual Private Server or Dedicated Server would be a better choice for a website with high traffic and also when we want to have total control of the server we are hosted on.
Basically, a Virtual Private Server is in fact a Dedicated Server divided into a few virtualized partitions that are functionally equivalent to a separate physical computer. Each partition is allocated a separate resource (CPU & RAM) limit so they can run on their own without interfering each other. On the other hand, a Dedicated Server is a server dedicated for a particular user or website that the user or website is allowed to fully utilize all server resources.
Picking the right web host for our website could be a tough decision because there are just too many web host companies on the Internet nowadays. The decision gets harder to make when we need to look into many aspects of the web hosting companies such as the price, hosting features, server specification, the level of technical support included, guarantees, and so on. A web hosting company’s experience and history in providing a specific hosting solution should be take into account too, be it in Shared Hosting, Virtual Private Server or Dedicated Servers industry. Besides, reading customer’s genuine reviews about a web hosting company would definitely be helpful in finalizing the decision that we are considering a web hosts.
I was looking for a comfortable bluetooth headset and this Motorola Oasis caught my eyes with its unique design. It was announced in September 2010 and launched in October 2010. I like the extended mic design which gives superior noise cancellation abilities. For the sound heard to be perfect, the Motorola Oasis comes with dual microphone noise cancellation and it is rated for 12mph of wind resistance as well. For listening purposes, echo cancellation technology is incorporated into Motorola Oasis so it will help when it comes to echo sounds.
Motorola Oasis utilizes a new technology called easy pair technology, which is an advanced voice prompts that helps to assist with pairing and it helps to convey the battery information.
Left: Extended mic with good noise cancellation; Right: Folded mode
One of the selling points of Motorola Oasis is that the extended mic can be turned backwards making storage in a pocket easier. Not only the mic is rotatable 180 degrees, the earpiece too! In other words, Motorola Oasis is compatible for both ears. The battery pack on the back may look bulky but it helps to create a comfortable and stable feel. Well, actually to my surprise the Motorola Oasis headset weighs only 12.9g.
Overall, I think Motorola Oasis is suitable for people who wants a bluetooth headset with comfortable feel, good noise cancellation feature and wouldn’t mind the bulky size.
I received this same question from quite a number of people asking what actually is Clear Black Display that we can find in Nokia E7.
I was at the premier preview of Nokia E7 in KL 2 weeks ago and the product manager explained that Clear Black Display is actually a method to reduce reflections on the screen and improve visual image quality, especially when we are at outdoors. It basically displays the black “blacker”, so to speak.
Well, no worries if you still can’t get the picture of how a Clear Black Display works, just watch the video below you’ll get the idea. :)
