Change is the only thing constant. That proverbial phrase is true in all its senses. Recently, there has been a change made by Apple in the latest version of iOS 8. This upgrade has proved to be a hindrance which can’t be overcome by the so-called 'rogue' applications.

What are the “Rogue Apps”? 

The rogue applications are nothing indecent, But applications which has been installed by tweaking with the operating system. The "date trick" allows the installation of unapproved applications, which can be done by manually altering the date to one in past and then download the particular application with the Safari's mobile browser. This procedure permitted various retro gamers to install games without worrying about the copyrights and enjoy playing their favorite games even in their iPhone.

How to Stop Android Devices from Lagging?


Android Devices
As we all know, now-a-days most of the people use Smartphone’s or Android devices for their daily use. Most people spend time playing games on handsets, develop new apps or very useful for developers and for many more purposes. For this reason, all people hate if their smart phone lags or get slower as it interrupts them from their routine work. People have become more impatience now-a-days, so they can’t tolerate a slight delay in their work and the same is going on with the android devices.

There are many reasons causing the Smartphone’s to lag from their original speed. To cope up with this, the user must first know about the cause of lagging and then be able to fix it for the better functioning of their handset as it used to be before.

With time every the smart phones slows down, so it’s important your devices by following these simple and easy steps and boost your device speed.

Updating the Firmware: 

Your Smartphone’s firmware plays crucial role in fixing up some lags, and other issues without your awareness. So having a regular update of your firmware may help you fix the lagging of your handset ensure its user with better performance.

Put apps into Hibernation: 

Your handset may have tons of apps out of which you might use hardly few. Others may be used occasionally by you. These apps not in use consume more of battery and causes lagging of your device.

So you can put these apps into hibernation and whenever you need them just tap on the app and they will wake up and perform as normal. You can perform this task by using Greenify app.

Once you install this app, click on the + button and tap the apps that you wish to put to sleep and then select Accept button.

Resetting your device: 

Resetting your device is a temporary solution. It helps you to erase everything and brings your phone to the original condition same as you received in the box. But after some days when you start using it, the same lagging problem arises.

Assure that you backup all your important contacts and other important data before heading towards resetting of your device.

Low internal memory: 

Having low internal memory may be the reason behind lagging of your device. So you can use some external storage device like SD card to store media files like songs, videos and other files. This will free your internal storage and prevents your device from lagging.

Some low-end phones come with low internal memories, so they might not observe much difference with this solution.

Rooting: 

Even rooting up your phone can help boost the speed of your Smartphone. This might be a risky one as unsuccessful rooting may brick your phone and if rooted successfully, it might void your handsets warranty. Voiding of warranty might not be the point of concern as you may enroot your phone and restore the warranty again.

After rooting you can over clock your phone’s processor which will boost up the speed of your device but will consume more battery than before.

Conclusion: 

Before performing any of the above steps, it is advisable that you backup your mobile data so that you do not lose any of them during the process.

The Rochester Cloak

Rochester Cloak
Great headway has been done at the University of Rochester in New York by scientist who have created a cheap` invisibility cloak’, in an attempt to hide objects from view. Researchers at the University of Rochester probably were inspired by the invisibility cloak making several attempts with some simple as well as some involving new technologies and with the combination of optical lenses, any object which passes behind a particular line of sight would seem to disappear from view.

This latest creation which has been developed at the University of Rochester has not only overcome the limitations of earlier devices but has also used inexpensive and readily available products in a novel configuration.

This creation which has been dubbed `The Rochester Cloak’, has utilized simplified four lens system which bends light around an object that may be placed in the centre of the chain and one is able to view the normal area in the background, though not the item in the foreground. It can be scaled up with the use of any size lens according to its inventors and the team who have been responsible for the setup have utilised standard off the shelf hardware.

First Device – 3 Dimensional 

According to John Howell, professor of physics at the University of Rochester, several approaches to clocking have been made while the basic idea behind it all was to take light and pass it around something with the idea of it not being there, which is often done with the use of high tech or exotic material.

Howell together with Joseph Choi, a graduate student,by forgoing specialized components, created a combination of four standard lenses which tends to keep the object hidden while the viewer moves up to some degrees away from optimal position of the view.

Choi states that this has been the first device with a three dimensional continuously multi directional cloaking that works in transmitting rays in visible spectrum.Howell states that several designs on cloaking tend to work well when viewed straight on though, if the viewpoint is moved a little, it tends to become visible.

Choi adds further that the previous cloaking devices could also cause the background to shift greatly making the presence of the cloaking device obvious.

Mathematical Formalism for Cloaking

Rochester Cloak 1
The researches in order to cloak the object as well as leave the background undisturbed tend to determine the type of lens together with the essential power and the precise distance to separate the four lenses.

In order to test their devices, the cloaked object is placed in front of a grid background and as they look through the lenses changing their viewing angle, done by moving from side to side, the grid shifts accordingly as though the cloaking device is not present.

There is no discontinuity in the grid lines behind the cloaked object when compared to the background and the matched grid sizes. Howell and Choi have provided a mathematical formalism for cloaking in a newspaper which was submitted to the journal Optics Express as well as available on arXiv.org, which can work for angles to 15 degrees and above.

A technique known as ABCD matrices is used to explain how light bends when passed through lenses, mirror or any other optical element. For More technology news visit Mono-live often.
