Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.

Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day.

Don’t wish it were easier. Wish you were better. Don’t wish for less problems wish for more skills. Don’t wish for less challenge wish for more wisdom.

If you really want to do something, you’ll find a way. If you don’t, you’ll find an excuse.

Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.

Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you.. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else’s hands, but not you.

We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret or disappointment.

Don’t join an easy crowd, you won’t grow. Go where the expectations and the demands to perform are high.

You cannot change your destination overnight. You can change your direction.

Learn how to be happy with what you have while you pursue all that you want.

You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself. That is something you have charge of.

Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.

Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.

The walls we build around us to keep sadness out also keeps out the joy.

If you don’t design your own life plan, chances are you’ll fall into someone else’s plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.

The challenge of leadership is to be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not a bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant; have humor, but without folly

Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.

Take advantage of every opportunity to practice your communication skills so that when important occasions arise, you will have the gift, the style, the sharpness, the clarity, and the emotions to affect other people.

If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will have to settle for the ordinary.

Success is neither magical nor mysterious. Success is the natural consequence of consistently applying the basic fundamentals.

Failure is not a single, cataclysmic event. You don’t fail overnight. Instead, failure is a few errors in judgments, repeated every day.

It is the set of the sails, not the direction of the wind that determines which way we will go.

Work hard at your job and you can make a living. Work hard on yourself and you can make a fortune.

The difference between where you are today and where you’ll be five years from now will be found in the quality of books you’ve read.

The greatest gift you can give somebody is your own personal development. I used to say, “If you will take care of me, I will take care of you. “Now I say,  I will take care of me for you, if you will take care of you for me.

The ultimate reason for setting goals is to entice you to become the person it takes to achieve them

You don’t get paid for the hour. You get paid for the value you bring to the hour.

Apple, FBI testify before Congress: Here's what you need to know. Auckland Apple iPhone iPad iPod Repair unlock by Dr Mobiles Limited

UPDATED: Three key witnesses across both sides of the encryption battle between tech companies and the government testify to lawmakers. Here's what you need to know.

Three key players in a battle over encryption between tech companies and the government are testifying to members of the House Judiciary Committee.

Representatives from Apple, the Justice Dept., and the FBI, along with a leading academic, were called to the hearing in the wake of a legal case that erupted last month, in which a California magistrate judge compelled Apple to help the FBI unlock the iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino terrorists.

Apple refused to comply with the order, which it argued would set a "dangerous precedent," and later filed a motion to dismiss the case.

The witnesses conflicted on various points in their opening statements published Monday, but all agreed on varying degrees that the case should be decided by Congress and not the courts. FBI director James Comey, who testified before the committee but did not release an opening statement, said that the courts "cannot resolve... [the] collision between public safety and privacy."


Here are the key takeaways that you need to know:

FBI 'CAN'T CRACK IPHONE' WITHOUT A COURT ORDER
Comey told Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA, 49th) that the FBI went "to all areas of government to see if anyone can unlock the iPhone," but was unsuccessful.

In other lines of questioning, the FBI director confirmed that the NSA, which has a history of breaking into networks and devices, was unsuccessful.

Without help from Apple, federal agents aren't ever getting into the terrorist's iPhone.

"We can get into that phone with our computing power, if [Apple] takes off the auto-erase and the delay between guesses function," he said.

One Republican lawmaker criticized the FBI for arguing that the government needs "more tools and more compulsion," but that even members of Congress "can't even see what you're already doing."

Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT, 3rd) said the FBI would "routinely refuse to explain" how it uses technologies, such as stingray cell-site impersonators and zero-day exploits, leaving open the suggestion that the agency may misuse its power relating to the iPhone case.

OTHER NATION STATES COULD HAVE 'INTERNATIONAL IMPLICATIONS'
The FBI director argued that there would be some "international implications" in regards to the Apple case, but was pushed further by one prominent Californian lawmaker.

"It may be that the alternative is a world where nothing is private," said Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA, 19th), referencing Comey's comments.

Lofgren, a staunch privacy advocate and friend in the House of many tech companies for her district's proximity to Silicon Valley, echoed similar sentiments by her congressional colleague Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, who argued the Apple case could easily "snowball" around the world.

"Why in the world would our government want to give repressive regimes in Russia and China a blueprint for forcing American companies to create a backdoor?" said Wyden in comments in mid-February.

Beijing has previously pushed for legislation demanding access to encrypted systems, citing its own national security concerns. A move in that direction would be devastating for Apple, which generates accounts for almost half of its global revenue, but also other Silicon Valley companies that rely on China for large portions of its revenue.

Apple's general counsel Bruce Sewell said no other country had demanded backdoor access to its products or its customers' data. "The only place we're having this debate is in our own country," he said.

"YOU'RE NOT GOING TO LIKE WHAT COMES OUT OF CONGRESS"
Lawmakers are expected to file a brief in favor of Apple's case with the California court that ruled in the FBI's favor, Reuters reported on Monday.

The move sends the strongest signal yet that members of Congress may end up legislating to decide on the fate of Apple -- and similar cases -- rather than the courts. Sewell threw his weight behind that proposed effort, urging lawmakers to move on the matter, but that drew ire from one lawmaker.

Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI, 5th), who originally helped to pen the Patriot Act in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks, asked if Apple had a particular bill to consider. Sewell argued that it was the FBI that brought the matter to the courts, but admitted there wasn't a bill that Apple supported.

"I can tell you you're not going to like what comes out of Congress," said Sensenbrenner. It was a subtle hint that the Justice Dept. can take a law and interpret it for its own gains, which in part led to the Wisconsin lawmaker introducing the Freedom Act last year, a counter-effort to his original bill.

Rep. John Conyers (D-MI, 13th), the ranking member of the committee, added that lawmakers should discuss possible legislative outcomes 'even if the dialogue does not yield the results desired by some in the law enforcement community."

FBI "MADE A MISTAKE" IN INITIAL ATTEMPT TO UNLOCK IPHONE
Comey told the committee that he and others would still be testifying even if the FBI was able to get access to the device's backup stored in the cloud.

That's a reversal from a statement made by the FBI, which previously said that the password reset incident wasn't its mistake.

The terrorist's iCloud account was reset shortly after the FBI took custody of the iPhone, meaning the phone and the device couldn't talk to each other, according to Apple executives speaking to sister-site CNET. San Bernardino County's official Twitter account later announced that the county was "working cooperatively with the FBI when it reset the iCloud password at the FBI's request," pinning the blame on the federal agency.

OTHER SNIPPETS FROM THE HEARING:
Issa asked if the FBI asked Apple for access to its source code. Comey said it was not aware if it had. "We wouldn't be litigating if we could," said Comey.
Comey confirmed that the FBI has seen "most of the metadata" relating to the San Bernardino shooter's communications.
Conyers made a note of the timing of the court case. He said he, "would be deeply disappointed if it turns out that the government is found to be exploiting a national tragedy to pursue a change in the law."
Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY, 10th) argued that even if Congress were to pass a law to allow device access, bad actors could still use their own encryption.
Rep. Judy Chu (D-CA, 27th) put the onus of responsibility on the FBI in the iPhone unlock case. She said that safe manufacturers "are not required to keep keys to safes or locks," therefore Apple should not be compelled to. "It's clear technology is outpacing the FBI's capabilities," she added.

New iPhone 5 pictures leaked, full phone this time - confirm longer screen (Apple, iOS, jailbreak, unlock, Auckland, North Shore, 095515344)

 
New pictures of what is purportedly the iPhone 5 have been leaked, with some displaying the new device next to the iPhone 4S in order to show off its proportions.
Website Kitguru.net claims that it managed to take photos of a "test sample" of the new iPhone, and what leads us to believe its story more than we would usually is that the original "world exclusive" posting has now been removed.

If true, the pictures provide further proof that Apple's next handset will adopt a widescreen display, rather than the 4:3 version is has plumped for in all previous iterations. This will mean that the phone itself will be longer.
However, what is interesting in the comparative shots is that it seems the Cupertino company has no intention of trying to ape the extended form factor of rival phones, such as the Samsung Galaxy S III.

One of the pictures also confirms the smaller connector at the bottom of the device, if indeed it is genuine. And the sides of the phone do use the similar darker steel that we saw in the engineering samples leaked earlier this week.
Apple is still to set a date on when it will launch the iPhone 5, but considering we didn't see the iPhone 4S until October last year, it would be reasonable to suggest that we'll have to wait a few months until we find out more.

What do you think of these new pics? Real or no? Let us know in the comments below...

Verizon Blackout Confirms iPhone 5 Will Launch On September 21st, 2012. (Auckland, iPhone Repair, Dr, Mobiles, Limited, North Shore)

 

The iPhone 5 is coming. Maybe it won’t be called the iPhone 5, but it’s coming, and it’s almost a sure bet that it will launch on Friday, September 21st.
A new report claims that Verizon has issued an all-staff vacation blackout from September 21st till September 30th so that all Verizon retail staff will be working to cover the launch.
TechCrunch received a tip from an employee at Verizon who informed them of the blackout on September 21st, which was the already rumored launch date of the new iPhone. The announcement for the next iPhone is expected to happen on September 12th.
Verizon wireless is one of the major carriers for the iPhone, so it makes sense that Apple would tell them in advance when iPhone 5 will launch so they can ensure that all of their retail staff will be on hand to

2011 Android Phone Review: HTC Sensation ("Google Android Repair", www.drmobiles.co.nz)

HTC burst right onto the dual-core scene with a phone that's set to be an Android sensation. They've gone all out with the design of that one - from screen, through camera to the powerful chipset. No cutting corners, no compromise on features.

HTC Sensation official photos

HTC has a flair for big names but Sensation sure is something else. The name simply sticks. We're talking a monster 4.3" S-LCD screen with qHD resolution (540 x 960). If the bump in resolution doesn’t mean much to you, picture this – the Sansation’s 4.3-inch screen has the same pixel density as a much smaller 3.7" screen with regular WVGA resolution.

The 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon chipset with the new Adreno 220 graphics bodes no good for rivals. But hey, that's the news we've been waiting for. A battle is brewing and dual-core domination is the prize.

Before we let the excitement of benchmarks cloud our minds, let's get the laundry list out of the way. Here's what the HTC Sensation has to offer and what didn’t work all that well.

Key features

• Quad-band GSM and dual-band 3G support
• 14.4 Mbps HSDPA and 5.76 Mbps HSUPA
• 4.3" 16M-color capacitive LCD touchscreen of qHD resolution (540 x 960 pixels); Gorilla glass
• Android OS v2.3 Gingerbread with HTC Sense 3.0
• 1.2 GHz dual Scorpion CPUs, Adreno 220 GPU, Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8260 chipset
• 768 MB RAM and 1 GB storage for apps
• 8 MP autofocus camera with LED flash; face detection and geotagging
• 1080p and 720p video recording @ 30fps
• Wi-Fi b/g/n and DLNA
• GPS with A-GPS
• Stereo FM radio with RDS
• microSD slot up to 32GB (8GB card included)
• Accelerometer, proximity sensor and an auto-brightness sensor
• Front facing camera with video calls
• Standard 3.5 mm audio jack
• microUSB port (charging) and stereo Bluetooth v3.0
• MHL TV-out (requires MHL-to-HDMI adapter)
• Smart dialing, voice dialing
• DivX/XviD video support
• HTC Locations app
• HTCSense.com integration
• HTC Portable Hotspot
• Ultra-fast boot times (if you don’t remove battery)
• Office document editor

Main disadvantages

• Serious "death grip" issue with Wi-Fi radio
• Less than impressed with the screen's outdoor performance
• Performance not quite as convincing as other dual-cores
• No dedicated camera key
• microSD is under the battery cover
• No unibody construction as advertised

You'll notice that "unibody" is not on the feature list - the back cover is certainly interesting but this is by no means a unibody. Let's not let that sully the great impression though - the Sensation is one of the most powerful droids around and it's on the shortlist if you're looking for the ultimate in smartphones.

The 8MP camera with 1080p video recording begs for a camera shootout. And the high-res S-LCD unit calls for another display test. So that's a lot of testing we have ahead of us.

The HTC Sensation at ours

But before we get busy, we need to give credit where it's due. HTC have been perfecting their interface designs for years and the latest Sense UI 3.0 is laced with equal amounts of useful features and eye candy.

Retail package: nothing out of the usual

The HTC Sensation comes in a ordinary looking box and there's nothing surprising about its contents. A compact charger connects to the provided microUSB cable to fill the battery. There's also a nice single-piece headset with music controls.

The HTC Sensation retail package
The only real perk in the package is the 8GB microSD card, which comes inserted in the phone.
There's no MHL dongle in the package - you'll have to buy one yourself if you want to enjoy streaming HD video. Other MHL-enabled devices don't come with MHL dongles either, so this didn’t surprise us much.

HTC Sensation 360-degree spin

The HTC Sensation measures 126.1 x 65.4 x 11.3 mm and weighs 148 g. It's very close to the dimensions of other phones with 4.3" screens, though thicker and heavier than some.

Design and construction

It's hard to deny that HTC make some attractive looking handsets and the Sensation is good enough proof. It just isn't a prime example. We can understand their need to freshen up the design and set the new flagship aside. But the end result is questionable - and not what we'd call unibody.
It's curves on the back, curves on the front, curves all around - from the metal plate on the back that extends to wrap around the edges of the phone - to the screen, yep the screen.
The Sensation comes with a 4.3” Gorilla glass protected S-LCD screen. It seems concave because the edges of the screen curve upwards but most of the surface of the display is perfectly flat.
We've seen some very good S-LCD units from HTC and while the one on the Sensation is okay, it has its issues. Viewing angles are less than perfect - contrast is quickly lost when you tilt the phone and colors get slightly off.
Also, blacks are not as deep as AMOLED screens go but brightness and color rendering are good.

The S-LCD screen is not the best from HTC • Side by side with the competition
Sunlight legibility is acceptable - though obviously failed by the reflective screen coating.
And here come the results of our now traditional display brightness and contrast test. Deep blacks are not the Sensation's strength and while the brightness levels are OK, the contrast ratios aren’t terribly impressive.

Display test	50% brightness			100% brightness
	Black, cd/m2	White, cd/m2	Contrast ratio	Black, cd/m2	White, cd/m2	Contrast ratio
LG Optimus Black P970	0.27	332	1228	0.65	749	1161
LG Optimus 2X	0.23	228	982	0.35	347	1001
Sony Ericsson XPERIA Arc	0.03	34	1078	0.33	394	1207
Samsung I9000 Galaxy S	0	263	∞	0	395	∞
Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II	0	231	∞	0	362	∞
HTC Incredible S	0.18	162	908	0.31	275	880
Apple iPhone 4	0.14	189	1341	0.39	483	1242
HTC Sensation	0.21	173	809	0.61	438	720
Motorola Atrix 4G	0.48	314	652	0.60	598	991

You can learn more about the test here.
Above the screen, we have the proximity and ambient light sensors to the left of the earpiece and the VGA video call camera on the right. Under the earpiece grill hides a small status LED (on the right).

There’s a video-call camera right next to the earpiece this time
Underneath the screen, we find four capacitive keys. The haptic enabled controls are well spaced and very responsive. The keys (Home, Menu, back and search) have extra functionality upon a long-press (task switcher, virtual keyboard, voice search).

There are four capacitive touch keys below the display • Note the curve of the display
The left side of the Sensation is occupied by the microUSB port and the volume rocker. The volume rocker is quite thin but comfortable enough to use. The microUSB port is left uncovered and it also serves as a charger port.
It's a MHL port and not strictly speaking a microUSB port - though it looks and works like one. Plug in a MHL dongle however and the MHL port transforms into HDMI out.
On the right, there's nothing - you weren’t hoping for a shutter key, were you?

The volume rocker and the microUSB port on the left side • The completely bare right side
At the top we find the 3.5mm audio jack (left uncovered) and the Power/Lock key, which is easy enough to press when you want but secure against accidental taps.
As usual, at the bottom of the phone, you will see the mouthpiece. There's also a small latch that lets you pop the phone out of its back cover. That's right, the phone comes out of the back cover, not the other way around.

3.5mm audio jack and a power/screen lock key on top • The microphone pinhole on bottom
The back of the Sensation features the 8MP camera and the dual-LED flash right next to it. The area around the camera protrudes slightly and the camera lens is set quite deep, giving it very good protection against scratches and fingerprints.
The protruding frame around the lens also helps to keep the loudspeaker from getting muffled when you place the phone on a level surface. It's not entirely successful but the sound is still pretty clear.

The camera lens is flanked by the LED flash and the loudspeaker grill
The back plate consists of three parts – a metal piece in the middle and two parts of soft rubbery plastic either side. Each has different finish - looks like patched together and might not be to everyone's taste.
Unfortunately, the back cover houses the antennas for the HTC Sensation - remove the cover and the phone loses all Wi-Fi signal. It's unusually susceptible too to the so-called "death grip" as our tests confirmed.
Actually, you don’t even need a grip to attenuate the antennas - place the phone flat on the palm of your hand and the phone loses a few notches of Wi-Fi signal. In fact, touching the area around the camera and loudspeaker can reduce the Wi-Fi signal to zero.
The cell network antenna also has death grip issues - they're not as bad but your hands around the bottom of the device will cause the signal to weaken. It's nothing to worry about if the signal is strong enough, but in areas of typically poor reception it can make the difference between having and dropping the call.
Beneath the back cover is the microSD card slot (easily how-swappable once you open the phone) and the SIM card compartment, which is blocked by the battery.
The battery is a 1520mAh Li-Ion unit with a little over 14 days of standby (in 2G, over 16 days in 3G) and over 8 hours of talk time (in 2G, nearly 7 hours in 3G).

Once the back cover comes off, we can access the microSD and SIM card slots and the battery
The HTC Sensation is a solidly built phone - we didn’t get a unibody, but there's a good amount of metal on the phone. We also liked the Gorilla glass that curves at the edges.
The Sensation is a bit thick and heavy compared to other phones with similarly sized screens, but we do like phones that have some heft to them.
HTC fans will love the Sensation, though others might find it a bit hard to tell apart from its HTC siblings.

The HTC Sensation felt nice in our hands
