Not a secret that coun­ter­feit phones are badly con­structed. Agnail and attritions on – tank, inside – stic­king out wires and tracks from a soldering iron. Details are badly cus­tomized to each other, and it leads to a gap between two halves of “folding beds”, to the non­dense mount of the accumulator and other similar problems

On fakes it is impos­sible to find spare parts. For the clear reasons manufacturers have no own service cen­ters, and spare parts from original phones do not app­roach to fakes (more often fakes have not something in com­mon with the original, except for appearance). Therefore broken phone throw out more often or hand over on spare parts in a workshop.

Hap­pens that coun­ter­feit phones use already exis­ting IMEI. And it is already sad. At least, to the owner of a similar han­dset any incon­venien­ces are guaran­teed. IMEI is the unique phone num­ber used for its iden­tification in a network. Simul­taneously in a network can­not be two phones with iden­tical num­ber IMEI. In practice it means the following: the owner of coun­ter­feit phone can­not call, even to enter into a network until it won’t quit­ted by the owner of similar number.

Thus it is neces­sary to remem­ber that change of IMEI is an offence (same, as, for exam­ple, unapp­roved change of a car num­ber). It is bet­ter to buy trans­por­table more expen­sively easier and not to have problems with the law.

Almost for cer­tain fun­ctio­nally fake always is worse than the original. However, the imp­res­sion that on the con­trary is sometimes made. We will follow an exam­ple with ?1: declared Sony Erics­son camera matrix – 3.2 Mega Pixels. For SongLive – 5 M pixels. For the ignorant per­son it can become the cause for fake pur­chase. But besides the per­mis­sion, the camera has many other, not less impor­tant characteris­tics: time for preparation for shooting, quality of a color ren­dition, presence/absence of optical increase and other.
Therefore those manufacturers who in phone tech­nical characteris­tics specify only the matrix size dis­sem­ble are not without fail says that pictures which you receive will be excellence. Cer­tainly, it con­cerns not only cameras – a com­munication quality, con­venience of usage.

The main and almost unique plus of coun­ter­feit phone is a pos­sibility for small money to receive a copy of the pleasant device. Though – it is pos­sible to gain for much smaller sum of shop a model of an “abrupt” han­dset. And to snatch out from a bag each time when in sight there are acquain­tan­ces that envy you.

Speaking about minuses of fakes, it is neces­sary to tell about that harm which they put to the companies-manufacturers of phones. And if devices from SongLiv? sim­ply use another’s ideas the numerous untit­led manufacturers giving to the fakes of the name, con­for­mable with names of original phones (already men­tio­ned Veptu and Nokla) or same, cause a huge damage to image of manufacturers of original devices.

Modern high tech­nologies have com­pletely absor­bed the world and our minds. Can you just imagine our life without all those com­puters, phones and automated machines? We have become so obses­sed by our mobile phones that if we leave our house without it we get stress. Cell phone has become our inalienable part which requires its own acces­sories. Those who are looking for cell phone acces­sories, are invited to this cell phone acces­sories site. This site can offer a lot of acces­sories, including Apple iPhone 4 Acces­sories.

Magicians from Sony Erics­son were not in time to announce new com­municator Xperia X1 as on sale there was its twin-brother – budgetary Chinese device SongLive. The double in details copies shape of original phone unless quality of plas­tic is purely visually worse. But we will talk today not only about it…

Fun­ctio­nally the device is quite good, though is weaker than the original. However, the fake has one advan­tage. Price SongLive for its native land, in China, makes app­roximately 150$. Sony Erics­son ?1 in Europe costs nearby 1100$. That is ?1 from SongLive more than seven times cheaply, than ?1 from Sony Erics­son! It is not eliminated that many con­sumers at phone choice will be guided by a sim­ple prin­ciple: «If there is no big difference, what for to take it more expensively?».

At first sight, pur­chase SongLive looks jus­tified: we receive the stylish phone at first sight almost indis­tinguishable from the original and pos­ses­sing a set of fun­ctions almost iden­tical to original for rather small price. But it is only at first sight. Actually, fake pur­chase con­ceals in itself set of reefs, as clear – such, as absence of a guaran­tee, – and not evident. Let’s try unders­tand that to what.

It is obvious that the main buyers of fakes are young men who wish to have modern cool phone, but do not wish or have no pos­sibility to buy expen­sive original. Therefore the most part of fakes are copies of popular models of known brands of manufacturers (for exam­ple, series Walkman).

Fakes phones, such as Vertu (a copy have named Veptu) and Nokia 8800 use slightly smaller popularity. Tar­get audience of these fakes are people for whom appearance and «image», instead of fun­ctio­nality of phone is important.

Coun­ter­feit phones much cheaper than the official. Sometimes the difference reaches 1000 %. What do we receive for this money? Let’s look. First of all, it is neces­sary to mark that coun­ter­feit phones are ephemeral. A good metric is stable operation of the device throughout 5–6 mon­ths. Hap­pens also such that “the left” phone belief and the truth is the mas­ter for years, but, as a rule, the first problems start in 3–4 mon­ths after the main­tenance begins.

Besides, fakes do not have firm guaran­tee. One business when promising outgo from manufacturers in the name of large cor­poration, another – from semi under­ground firm, mis­laid in the Far East.

By itself, fakes often have problems with language. One of the main problems of the majority of coun­ter­feit of the Chinese phones is bad trans­lation. Often hap­pens so that to unders­tand sense writ­ten it is impos­sible basically. Sometimes come across and absolutely not trans­lated choices. Bad trans­lation is cor­rected, but there is no guaran­tee of that phone after this operation will work without errors.

Modern high tech­nologies have com­pletely absor­bed the world and our minds. Can you just think of our life without all those com­puters, phones and automated machines?

Two serious problems have been selected:

* resizing font But­tons by default are not visible now to the user. Only scanty per­cent of users to which likes to cus­tomize a browser to the taste, can search, where these useful but­tons have been hidden. The majority of users does not change the tool­bar and therefore they see on it but­tons which are less useful to them. As fun­ction is hidden, only few users know that their browser can change the text size.

* Now but­tons are not divided into that that increases the text, and that that reduces. If the user manages to find at last hidden fun­ction, it will receive only one but­ton which should be used for text resizing in both directions.

For the same sophis­ticated users who all the same have unders­tood with cus­tomizations and have retur­ned the absent but­ton on the tool­bar, procedure of change of the text in IE6 will occupy some stages:

1. To move the cur­sor to the but­ton. As but­tons on panel IE are great enough, this stage is ful­filled rather fast.

2. To press the button.

3. On the screen there will be a drop­ping out menu in which five variants of the sizes of the text are enumerated. It is neces­sary to view this list and to mark what size is now active.

4. To define, what new size is neces­sary? As a rule, it is the following size (less or more) near to the cur­rent size.

5. Still holding the but­ton of a mouse, it is neces­sary to move the cur­sor to that choice which cor­res­ponds to the selected size.

6. To release the but­ton of a mouse.

Com­pare this clumsy process to how the size of the text by means of those two but­tons “more lar­gely” and “more small” varies:

1. To press the neces­sary button.

Cer­tainly I have a little bit used cun­ning: all the same it is neces­sary for you to ful­fill the first stage – so it means to define, in what I will shift you wish to change a font size to solve, what but­ton to press. But never­theless, as all this procedure is called by that your irritation that it is incon­venient to you to read the text, you already know in advance that you need to increase the text (or to reduce).

For the average user is not present in behavior of fun­ction under the name “to change the text size” which move as parameter; on the con­trary, the average user has two fun­ctions: “more small” and “more lar­gely”. Without depen­dence from how you program this or that fun­ction, its behavior should mir­ror model of rep­resen­tations of the user, instead of the program­ming language.

The two-button app­roach releases the user from exces­sive cogitative operation over finding-out, how much he wishes to increase or reduce the page text. “Increase and all”. The user should not solve, on how many it is neces­sary to increase. If pres­sing the but­ton has not led it is neces­sary for result, the user sim­ply once again will press it.

As we see usability of a browser increases by usages, at usage of one-action but­tons, which step by step move the user in one direction. We will mark that the result of per­for­mance of operation should be dis­played quic­kly enough after each pres­sing the but­ton. For this reason, by the way, but­ton Back is app­reciated by users. For this reason it use more often, than fun­ction History.

Nowadays the web tech­nologies are very popular. The web network is not only a place to enter­tain but also a spot to make money. In spite of the reason, to be presen­ted in the Inter­net one needs a site. And it is the time when the ques­tion how to make a website arises. Those who are looking for details on how to build a website, should refer to the Inter­net itself. It is full of docs on how to make a website and related topics.

In any way, it wouldn’t be wise not to take advan­tage of this chance given to us by modern tech­nologies. Google and other search engines, social networks and forums, blogs — all of them could assist to find info on “make a new website” and similar topics.

Return to design IE4 for the Macin­tosh would be the excellent step for­ward facilitating a resizing font. But it is pos­sible to go and fur­ther away.

Instead of for­cing the user to change a font size indepen­dently on any site where the font is incon­venient for reading, it would be pos­sible to take advan­tage of advan­tages of the Inter­net and to watch preferen­ces of users on a font size: every time when the browser loads page from a new web site, it acces­ses for one to a special database in which the infor­mation on is stored what font size to you would approach:

* If on this site you have already been, the database on your per­sonal com­puter will save record about, whether you changed a font size during the previous visit or not. If at following visit the font size automatically will be reduced/is increased as last time.

* If you visit this site for the first time, your browser will access to the cen­tral database behind the infor­mation on how the previous visitors of this site changed a font. After that the browser will automatically average these preferen­ces and will change the first page in app­rop­riate way. If after that you make any changes, your local database will save these cus­tomizations and also will write them in the cen­tral database.

For increase in res­ponse time at these operations your browser will “extend” in advance automatically given about all those sites on which there are links to page which you look at present.

The cen­tral database will imagine something very sim­ple as search in it will be sim­ple: to count up quan­tity of users with the same preferen­ces in a font size. For the majority of sites will be only two variants: or the visitor leaves an initial font size, or changes it (increases or reduces). As all it turns out five variants, will parse the data easier than, for exam­ple preferen­ces in books or films.

Such fun­ction of an automatic resizing font on the basis of average sam­pling of the data about preferen­ces of the previous visitors — only the elemen­tary exam­ple of that browsers can give to us, able to work with a network. In the same way it would be pos­sible to res­tore automatically “the broken” links, to delete irritating adver­tising win­dows, to bring the con­tribution to imp­rovement of each site, facilitating a life to each following visitor on the basis of experience of the previous visitors.

It is neces­sary to cease to con­sider browsers as sim­ply free sup­plement inten­ded only for map­ping of web pages and pictures on them. It is neces­sary for us to create such sof­tware environment which helps us to travel on a network and to protect us from bad, ugly and poor web sites.

Nowadays the online tech­nologies have become very popular. The web network is not only a place to enter­tain but also a platform to earn money. Whatever the reason is, to be presen­ted in the Inter­net one needs a site. And this is when the ques­tion how to make a website arises. Those who are sear­ching for details on how to build a website, should refer to the Inter­net itself. There are lots of tutorials on how to make a website and related topics.

In any way, it wouldn’t be wise not to take advan­tage of this oppor­tunity given to us by modern tech­nologies. Google and other search engines, social networks and forums, blogs — all of them could help to find infor­mation on “make a new website” and similar topics.

Briefly: the Small text peace off users extremely decelerating per­for­mance of the task put before it. For a browser of Inter­net Explorer 4 it was fine design which allowed users to change the sizes of fonts on page. Let’s strug­gle for that this good design find has retur­ned to users in following generation of browsers.

Sometimes tech­nological progress becomes a two-edged sword. Sometimes it turns out that the best tech­nology appears the worst for its users. Web is not an excep­tion. For exam­ples frames, pos­sibility of changing of color of a scroll­bar, and pos­sibility of scrolling of the text can be.

Other such exam­ple of har­mful Web-technology I con­sider pos­sibility to set in lists of styles the size of the text to within pixel. Unfor­tunately set of desig­ners use this pos­sibility and by that in Web the num­ber of sites which it is incon­venient to read increases.

Han­dle of fonts

The present article I start cam­paign for that Microsoft in the browser has given the chance to users to reas­sign a font size set on any Web-page by the web designer.

When the browser for the first time loads page, it can quite dis­play its font of that size as it has been con­ceived by the desig­ner. But pos­sibility with ease should be given to users to increase the text size without depen­dence that speaks the list of styles. After all even­tually, it is my screen; it is my com­puter and my program, means they should do what I tell.

Cer­tainly some web browsers have a fun­ction allowing users to create the own list of styles. It cer­tainly is good. For sophis­ticated users. But 99 % of users sim­ply wish to increase the text size on page if it is difficult to read it. The browser iCab, released only for Macin­tosh, gives the chance to users. So let’s make Inter­net Explorer same frien­dly in relation to users.

And so, let’s clarify to begin with why so it is difficult to read the most part of web sites? There are two versions:

* the Majority of desig­ners are young men. For them fine sight. The small text it not in burden, unlike those who has step­ped over a threshold of 40 years. Desig­ners also as a rule work on expen­sive high-quality screen monitors which do not tire eyes.

* At creation of web sites desig­ners do not read the infor­mation on page. They sim­ply dart at its glance for a moment to be con­vin­ced that the text has lain down in page cor­rectly. Sometimes the most part of designs sur­ren­ders with the text instead of the real text which on page will be.

As too many sites select an incor­rect font size for the text, users as a rule should change it. The first ver­sions of Inter­net Explorer sup­por­ted this neces­sity. They on the tool­bar had two but­tons: one to increase a font size, and another — to reduce. So it also should be.

These days the Inter­net tech­nologies have become very popular. The Inter­net network is not only a place to enter­tain but also a space to earn money. In spite of the reason, to be presen­ted in the Inter­net one needs a site. And this is when the ques­tion how to make a website arises. Those who are sear­ching for info on how to build a website, are advised to refer to the Web itself. There are lots of docs on how to make a website and res­pective topics.

In any way, it wouldn’t be wise not to avail them­selves of this chance provided to us by digital tech­nologies. Google and other search engines, social networks and forums, blogs — all of them could assist to find info on “make a flash website” and similar topics.
