Telstra Melbourne Bundle Plans Offer Communications Access to Everyone


A teen-ager in Melbourne is showing how technology can help improve the lives of the disabled. Bree Synot, a 16-year-old with osteogenesis imperfect (or brittle bones) used to shuttle between two wheelchair-friendly respite homes to get the caring she needs. Thanks to the support of the non-profit Summer Foundation, however, Bree has found a new home that uses internet technology to facilitate some basic functions and abilities that many disabled would otherwise have difficulty performing on their own. As reported in The Age, “Thanks to her iPad app connected to her home's locks, airconditioning and blinds, she could let visitors in without moving from her bed, the couch or her chair. On one occasion she was able to let a support worker into her apartment from her hospital bed.”

Nagging Issues on your S6? A Melbourne Samsung Repair Shop Can Help


Samsung's new Galaxy S6 flagship smartphone is its direct answer to Apple's iPhone 6, and so far, it has lived up to the billing. However, there have been numerous reports from owners of the S6 and its Edge variation, claiming that the device has yet to address some issues. These issues have reportedly plagued earlier versions of the model (i.e. poor battery life and wi-fi concerns), though several problems are more specific to the S6 itself. Here are a few of the most common, along with simple fixes.

Melbourne Mobile Phone Repair and Other Tips to Extend Battery Life


The industry-standard smartphone battery holds a charge of 1,440 mAh (approximately 5.45 watt-hours). While this is a generous amount of energy, though, it’s rarely enough to make a phone go through even just one whole day without recharging. This has led the burgeoning portable charger market to fill the gap between end-of-day charges. The flip side of this development, however, is that incessant charging can and will shorten a battery’s lifespan, as uncovered by several studies. In particular, frequently going from no charge to full charge has drastic effects on the longevity of a battery, as these power packs are designed with a limited number of charge cycles (that is, the number of times that they can go from 0% to 100% charge). In fact, in some devices, fully discharging and then charging can even activate failsafes that would permanently disable the battery.

Melbourne Iphone Screen Repair: Cracked Screen, Screen Saver Burn-In


A screen saver, which serves as a desktop enhancement like a wallpaper, is a great way to personalize your computer. It can also be an animated image activated on a computer display when no user activity has been perceived for a while. Its purpose is to prevent burn-in—the burning of image into the phosphor inside the cathode ray tube (CRT) after hours of the same image being rescanned. With the efficiency of today’s technology, however, CRT burn-in is quite unlikely in our modern computers. Windows and Mac come in with built-in screen savers, or at least lets you set up one from a choice of many. Whenever you leave your computer unattended for a couple of minutes, the screensaver is activated on the screen or computer display. On your iphone, it would be helpful to have a screen saver enabled, though, many prefer simply a black screen to save on battery life.
