You may think social media use for business is just another platform to advertise. It isn't. At least not in the way we traditionally think of advertising. There was a time a business owner only had a choice between radio, TV, or print advertising. Those days are gone and companies now have the ability to truly connect with their customers in four easy steps.

Through social media, consumers have an avenue to voice complaints as well as to share praise. They become engaged with you. Your FaceBook "Fan" page is the means to emotionally connect business to consumer; positioning you as the trusted expert in whatever your industry or field is. With over 150 million visitors using FaceBook per month there is no other medium with which you can do this so rapidly and effectively.

It's not about friends, the new "F"-word is "Fan”. A business whose "Fan" page makes offer after offer instead of interacting and engaging will find they have little to no consumer interaction and will experience a hard time gaining "Likes".

The iPhone 5 has subtle differences in the look and feel that first of all will change your user experience. The screen is larger, enabling you to watch videos in the size they are supposed to be watched. The phone is thinner and lighter. There is a new connector which has been much complained about due to the fact that you won't be able to use any of your existing iPhone accessories with it, and you may have seen the adverts about the new shape of the headphones. One important improvement in iPhone 5 is its processor. Its much more faster than its predecessors such as the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 4S. iPhone 4 had an A4 which was a single core 800 MHz processor and iPhone 4S had an A5 which was a dual core 800 MHz processor. The iPhone 5 has A6 which is a dual core 1.3 GHz processor. So, you will see considerable speed improvement in iPhone 5.

If you chose the iPhone over other smartphones, you have probably made the right choice. The latest patent wars, fought between the Android based Samsung smartphones and Apple, have clearly come down in favour of iPhone, and it seems that Samsung has copied many of its features. One more reason behind choosing iPhone over other smartphones is its quality app store. The iPhone has become the hub of mobile online casino gaming.

A few months down the line after buying a gadget how many of you have felt that you need to buy a new one. How many of you have felt that you should have waited for another 6 months for that upgraded version. Be it desktop, laptop, iPod, iPad or for that matter any other smart device, they seem to get outdated very fast. Apple comes up with a new version of iPhone every year and so does most other tech companies. The question is what do we do with the old one? If you are one of those guys who want to stay at par with the latest technology trends, selling your old gadget makes perfect sense. Not only you make some extra cash which you can put towards buying a new gadget but also avoid clogging up landfills.

gdb stands for GNU debugger. gdb is a part of GNU toolchain which has other tools like gmake, gcc etc. gdb helps tack down the source of bugs by tracing program execution. Debugging basically means you load your program under a debugger, set breakpoints, run your program, examine data at breakpoints and step through the program while its executing to track down bugs. The program being debugged can be written in Ada, C, C++, Objective-C, Pascal (and many other languages). Those programs might be executing on the same machine as GDB (native) or on another machine (remote). GDB can run on most popular UNIX and Microsoft Windows variants (windbg). gdb supports C and C++ debugging. gdb supports many processors. gdb is not an IDE for browsing code. There is a GUI version of gdb called KDbg. All Unix and Linux distros come loaded with GNU toolchain of which gdb is a part. This article is about the basic gdb execution control commands, inspecting data, debugging threads and processes etc. If you have any question/doubts please post them in the comments section.

They had to face similar disappointment after the release of iPad 3 as well. We will take a look at what we got and what was expected but is missing in iPad3.

This infographic was created by Online MBA. They have done a wonderful job in dissecting all of the major social networks on the basis of education level, gender, age and household income of their users. This infographic gives us a bird's eye view of the current state of the social networks and the kind of people using them. Women are on top when it comes to using Facebook (57 %), Twitter (59 %) or Pinterest (82 %) while men dominate Google+ at 71 %. College students dominate most social networks like Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest. Facebook is the largest social networks with 845 million users ahead of LinkedIn with 150 million users and Twitter with 127 million users.  Facebook has the highest average time on site per visit at 23:20 minutes. If all of the 845 million Facebook users visit Facebook at least once a day then they would spend a total of 326733333 hours per day on Facebook. The average daily visit of Facebook on mobile is 200 million. That is pretty good considering 5.2 billion cell phone users in the world and not all of them have smart phones. There are around 2 million companies on LinkedIn and 75 % of its users, use LinkedIn for business purposes only. Check out the infographic below and find more such fascinating facts about the social networks. If you are aware of certain facts which are not there in the infographic, feel free to mention them in the comments.
