When it makes sense not to upgrade to iPhone 5

Not everyone upgrades to the latest model of a mobile device as soon as it’s released. In the case of Apple’s iPhone, users can currently choose between the iPhone 5 and earlier models like the 4S and the 4. Apple even lets you compare the specs of the various models. But sometimes you need someone’s actual experiences to make a decision. Readers in the Ars OpenForum have recently been talking about when it might make sense to get an iPhone 4S instead of an iPhone 5.
Two threads have discussed this topic before. The first thread “Would anyone choose an iPhone 4S over an iPhone 5,” talked about it, and so did the members in the thread “iPhone 4S v 5 opinion divided.” Susan Harris kicks off the latter: “Mad as it sounds, I may get a 4S instead of a 5, on upgrading. Advice from you guys always appreciated.”
In both threads you’ll find the experiences of users who have owned several generations of iPhones, as well as newbies who have chosen a particular model. We took a look at some of the major features users are talking about.

Size and feel

The iPhone 5 is definitely a longer and thinner phone, but for a user like Ge0Ph, that may not necessarily be best : “I upgraded from the 4 to a 5. While the 5 has outstanding hardware, I prefer the feel of the 4 much better. At times I wish I would have upgraded to the 4S instead but I convince myself I made the right choice because my hardware will be relevant longer.”
Iljitsch (an Ars contributing writer) adds, “The lightness of the 5 is a big plus and depending on your use, the bigger screen can be very helpful. I find that many Web pages that were on the edge of readability on the 4 in landscape are just fine on the 5 in landscape mode.”
Otto Pilot thinks ergonomics is a very important factor to consider if you’re choosing the 4S: “This right here is the one big problem I have with Apple's continuing obsession with thin and light. I have the 4S now and really didn't see any truly compelling reason to upgrade (ended up just getting an unlocked 4S for my wife so we can ride out our AT&T contracts) but I really am fine with the thickness of the 4S. I would prefer to forego shaving off a few more millimeters in favor of keeping (or lengthening) the battery life, especially with the move to LTE. As it is now, with push email, iCloud, iTunes match, GPS and Siri, I am hard-pressed to make it through a day on the 4S without needing to plug in.”

Performance

Sleepcountry thinks the iPhone 5 is a winner based on call quality: “The call quality is scary good on iPhone 5. Thanks to the noise canceling, I've been in crowded restaurants and easily had conversations without raising my voice or cranking the volume at all. It feels like a cone of silence descends around the ear you're holding the phone up to [it]. It's downright eerie at times... the call quality is so much obviously better than my iPhone 4”
Cateye provides a side-by-side comparison of the 4S and the 5 based on performance: “My wife has a 4S and, used side-by-side with my 5, I'm hard-pressed to tell any performance differences between the two. They both respond immediately with zero lag in the apps we commonly use (the 5 is, however, dramatically more responsive than my 4 was). Call sound quality is excellent on both, we have no complaints. Where the 5 leads is in cellular data speed: AT&T lit up its LTE network where we are a few weeks after I upgraded, so I was able to make a direct comparison in the places (like the gym) where I tend to use cellular data often. It's really quite astonishing how LTE makes surfing or using streaming services like Google Music (I don't have iTunes Match so I can't compare) more pleasant compared to '4G' or plain old 3G. I still think LTE is sort of a goofy feature (who truly needs data speeds that fast on a phone?), but it's a nice luxury to have.”

The battery-life comparison

LTE is going to drain the battery a little faster, but Iljitsch reports: “I still make it to the end of the second day on a charge most of the time with my iPhone 5, like with the iPhone 4, but with somewhat less of a safety margin. I've had it happen once or twice that I was in the red at the end of a particularly iPhone-intense day once or twice, but it's rare.”
On the other hand, Sleepcountry is not pleased with the performance of the iPhone 5’s battery life: “I've always been curious about how all these reviewers eked out these crazy high numbers on battery life. Like did they actually use their iPhones 5?”
Japtor also has experienced good battery life, like Iljitsch: “Battery life has been pretty awesome for me actually, about the only times I've run it down is playing Need for Speed at night while streaming Bluetooth audio before bed. I've done all-nighters at work and still end up with like 30-40 percent battery left in the morning, used it all day at Disneyland while streaming (apparently inappropriate) Simpsons clips in line for my nephew (if anything I was more worried about data usage), pretty much never have had to think about it other than unfounded paranoia in my case.”

About those nicks and scratches

Cateye notes that performance wise, both the 4S and the 5 are similar, but the 5 brings along some new problems, “Within a couple weeks of owning it, my 5 already had a bunch of silver dings/scratches along the anodized black aluminum edge and on the back panel, so into a case it went and where it will have to stay if I want to keep it looking nice. Secondly, battery life is noticeably worse. I think I was spoiled by the 4, however, since as a smartphone, it really does have pretty legendary battery life. The 5 is no worse or no better than any modern LTE smartphone.“
When it comes to durability, the iPhone 4S also wins that battle, based on Cateye’s opinions about the materials: “The band around the edge of the iPhone 4/4S is made of steel. The band around the edge of the iPhone 5, along with the metal portion of the back, is made of aluminum. Aluminum is lighter, but it's also softer, and malforms from impact more easily. In addition, the aluminum surfaces of the black 5 are anodized with a slate-black color. But that's just a micro-thin layer of color over bare, silver aluminum. The moment it gets scraped off (after spending some time in your pocket with your car keys, for example) it sticks out like a sore thumb since it's these little silver nicks on a field of matte black.”

How good is the LTE?

And then there is data speed. The iPhone 5 moves up to the LTE standard and melk, who ran some quick tests on his own iPhone, was able to get 32Mbps on download and 10Mbps upload speeds. He adds “Larger screen, lighter/slimmer body, lightning connector is just better in every way. No question really, in my mind.”

So what should you do?

The choice you make with your phone upgrade will depend on what matters to you. If price comes first, then the choice is clear. But taking time to think about the highest-priority features you need in your phone, and comparing them to what other users are saying about them can be a great help.
Arasirsul actually upgraded to an iPhone 5 but wishes for a return to the 4S: “While the 5's better in every way—lighter, bigger screen, faster wireless performance, etc, no piece of it (with the exception of playing videos on the bigger screen that better matches the videos' aspect ratio) really screams, ‘Hey! I'm BETTER!’ It's a good device. It's certainly a better device. But I'm not sure it was worth the extra money, particularly when I couple the original outlay with the cost of having to replace all the 30-pin devices I'd been using (the big problem being the ANT+ dongle for fitness hardware that I feared wouldn't attach through an adapter very well at all, and my bike rig where it wouldn't physically fit). Sure, I'm going to have to replace all that 30-pin stuff eventually either way, but I probably could have put it off two years. “

Made in the USA: gadgets built in our own backyard

Consumers looking to buy American merchandise have fewer options these days when it comes to electronic devices and equipment Cheap labor overseas incentivized many companies, especially in technology, to close U.S. assembly plants. Still, among the reliable and affordable products made in the U.S., the following stand out.

Maglite
 

Maglite flashlights are used by law enforcement agencies across the U.S. because of their powerful functionality and durable construction. Maglite has been praised for years when it comes to flashlight technology, and the company's official website collects stories from individuals who claim their flashlights have been life-savers. The company took a firm stance against outsourcing, and while it would be fairly easy to find cheaper manufacturing abroad, all Maglite tools are made in factories located in the U.S

"Mag Instrument is the only flashlight company with significant market share that still manufacturers its entire line of flashlights in the United States," according to the company website. "Unlike its competitors, Mag Instrument has chosen not to outsource the manufacturing of its flashlights to foreign countries in order to take advantage of cheap labor and less stringent environmental standards, which may also result in inferior quality."

Oreck vacuum cleaners

Vacuum cleaner manufacturing used to be an American staple, but its become more and more difficult to find vacuums made in U.S. Oreck is one of the last holdouts that still manufactures in America. David Oreck founded the company in 1963 and quickly made a name for himself by designing some of the highest quality cleaning products on the market.

A half century after its inception, Oreck's manufacturing facilities are still located in the U.S., primarily in Cookeville, Tenn.

 When it comes to computers, all of the big brands base their assembly plants overseas. Of course you can assemble your own PC yourself. But if you prefer to outsource your computer assembly, the Americans at Union Built PC can help.

The company offers several desktop and notebook models to choose from, equipped with the latest Intel chips, NVIDIA graphics cards, and other options. It also offers its own Android tablet, complete with a 9.7-inch HD screen, dual cameras, and a speedy dual-core processor. It may not be an iPad or Google Nexus tablet, but for a relatively affordable $329 price tag, it's great if you're looking for the "Made in USA" stamp.

Triad speakers

 
American company Triad relies on U.S. employees to manufacture its speaker systems.

Triad offers various configurations of its home theater products to fit just about any setup, and with options for in-wall and satellite speakers, as well as ultra-compact "Mini" units, you'd be hard pressed to find a size or style of speaker that the company doesn't offer. All Triad speaker products are built-to-order in Portland, Ore.

Big Chill

If you're looking for some new kitchen appliances, Big Chill may be for you. The company offers retro-style ovens, refrigerators, microwave ovens, dishwashers, and other kitchen gear with a unique 1950s flair. The classic designs are attractive, and the company's products are American-assembled in Reading, Penn.

Big names reconsider U.S. manufacturing

Other, bigger brands have pledged to hire American workers too.

In 2012, Google decided to assemble its Nexus Q home-streaming media player in the U.S. Though the product had several setbacks and was ultimately cancelled, it signaled Google's willingness to hire American manufactures.

Apple also pledged to return some of its building operations to the U.S. CEO Tim Cook recently promised to invest more than $100 million to move one of the company's Mac production lines to the US.

This shift in approach from Google and Apple is a fraction of the total manufacturing footprint of both companies, but hiring American workers for the job is a sign that the broader technology industry may be poised for a Made in the USA makeover.

The Privacy Guide to Facebook's New Graph Search

Associated Press -
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg speaks at Facebook headquarters in Menlo Park, Calif., Tuesday, Jan. 15, 2013. Zuckerberg introduced “graph search" Tuesday, a new service that lets users search their social connections for information about their friends’ interests, and for photos and places. (AP Photo/Jeff Chiu)

 Like all things Facebook, the social network's new Graph Search will certainly generate privacy worries — the main function of the "third pillar" of Facebook is pretty much creeping, after all. Indeed, while CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in announcing the social-search tool Tuesday that the new product was built as "privacy aware," the social network is also touting Graph Search's ability to find things you like and meet new people, based entirely on data you've been sharing before this thing existed. Zuckerberg even suggested Facebook could turn into a kind of dating service as people met friends with similar interests — not exactly comforting if a too-clever Graph Searcher stumbles upon your old spring-break photo because you forget to check the right boxes all over again. From a new set of opt-out options to just how much of your preferences are now searchable — and sellable — here's everything you need to know about protecting yourself from the many advances of Graph Search.

RELATED: Your Smartphone Is Spying on You

There Is No Way to Opt Out
 
About a month ago Facebook made a little tweak to its privacy policy, where it no longer allowed users to opt out of the search function, which was pretty weak and didn't seem like a big deal. Today that move makes a lot more sense. The only way to avoid your information from showing up in Graph Search will involve changing the privacy settings on everything you share, comment on, and like — like, ever. "For every post you shared, there's an option so you can share this publicly, or with friends, or only me. For each item you basically have the control over what audience that's shared with," Tom Stocky, one of the lead Graph Search senior engineers, told Nightline's David Wright and Joanna Stern. Facebook has made managing that kind of stuff easier, with the Activity Log, and the new Graph Search privacy page offers familiar privacy options. But still, going back and changing it all will take some effort.
 
RELATED: Facebook Now Lets You Remember All The Friends You've Been Denied

Private Information Stays Private
 
Although Facebook has access to all the data you've shared, regardless of who we have shared that with, Graph Search does not exploit that function. Things shared with "just friends" will stay that way, as this Facebook video explains:

RELATED: Facebook Wants Its Ads to Follow You Everywhere

So, if you share something with just friends, it will only show up in friends' Graph Search results. Of course, when you first created these settings, you probably had no idea that Facebook would use it for a social-search function. So now might be a good time to go back and change which media you share with which kind of people, while Graph Search is still in beta. The video above explains how to go do that, via the Activity Log and the About section, while you still have time.

RELATED: People Sure Like This Creepy Site That Makes Your Facebook Status Public

Photos Are Less Private 
With the addition of Graph Search, Facebook users don't have as much control over who sees which photos. If someone else uploads an inappropriate photo of you — or an awkward bikini shot, or something you wouldn't want your mom seeing — then you can hide it from your Timeline. But that doesn't remove it from the uploader's Timeline, so that photo will still show up in a Graph Search for you. Which leaves you with two solutions: You can untag the photo so it won't show up in regular search results associated with your name (though savvy/creepy searchers will no doubt learn how to start Graph-Searching for inappropriate photos as well), or you can get drastic and ask your friend to take down the photo altogether (which Facebook has a button for, so there's no awkward messaging required).

Everything Is More Accessible
  

When we first shared our lives on Facebook, this kind of search tool based on preferences and similarities and human emotion just didn't exist. And so our concept of sharing was different, because we didn't know how our preferences would end up indexed. After the Graph Search announcement, however, personal details are much more accessible. You can find all the people you know in one easy search — something that took a lot more guess-and-check work before — and that change might make people uncomfortable. And comfort has a lot to do with the evolving boundaries of modern privacy: There are plenty of places where the law recognizes discomfort — it is a harm in its own right," Ryan Calo, an affiliate scholar for the Center for Internet and Society and and assistant law professor at the University of Washington, explained to The Atlantic Wire before the announcement.

Facebook Will Probably Sell Your Searches to Advertisers 

 

 Zuckerberg did not elaborate on how Facebook will make money off Graph Search, emphasizing the "user experience," a line we've heard before. But, trust us: the ads are coming. Facebook already has sponsored posts that come up in the existing search results, as you can see to the right. But as Facebook's search power turns into more of a recommendation engine, Facebook could sell results. For example, if you Graph-Searched for Indian restaurants liked by people from India — an example suggested by Facebook at its announcement — you might see an ad for an Indian restaurant in the News Feed that same day. 

If any of that sounds contentious, complain about it on Facebook. Zuckerberg described the massive undertaking as still in beta for a reason — the social network wants to listen to user feedback before a full roll-out... or so it says. As usual, the only way to ensure total privacy is to opt out of Facebook altogether.

EBay tops holiday quarter forecasts on mobile boom

• 

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - EBay Inc reported holiday quarter results that beat Wall Street expectations as the e-commerce company benefited from a boom in mobile shoppers, but it gave a 2013 forecast in line with analyst estimates, restraining share price gains. The stock rose 1 percent to $53.43 in after-hours trading following the announcement.

Expectations were high ahead of the results because sales data from outside sources suggested strong sales growth from eBay's online marketplace and a solid increase in transactions processed by the company's PayPal payments business.

EBay's online marketplace, one of the largest in the world, has lagged behind the growth of e-commerce and Amazon.com Inc for several years. But under Chief Executive John Donahoe, eBay has invested to improve the buying experience by upgrading search capabilities and prodding sellers to provide more services such as free shipping and easier returns.

The explosive growth of mobile shopping and popular mobile shopping applications have also attracted millions of new consumers to eBay's marketplace and PayPal in the past year.

"These are great numbers," said Bill Smead of Smead Capital Management, which owns eBay shares. "The marketplace business used to be a noose around their neck, but now it's a key destination for people wanting to buy new goods as well as existing goods."

Amazon shares edged up less than 1 percent to $269.50 in after-hours trading, close to a record. The world's largest Internet retailer is due to report fourth-quarter results on January 29.

On Wednesday, eBay said fourth-quarter revenue jumped 18 percent to $3.99 billion. Profit came in at $927 million, or 70 cents a share, in the period. That compares with profit of $789 million, or 60 cents a share, in the same quarter last year.

EBay was expected to earn 69 cents a share on revenue of $3.98 billion, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.

EBay forecast 2013 revenue of $16 billion to $16.5 billion and profit of $2.70 to $2.75 a share. Wall Street was calling for revenue of $16.3 billion and profit of $2.74 a share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
"We feel great about 2012 and are carrying that momentum into 2013," said eBay Chief Financial Officer Bob Swan, during a conference call with analysts.

Still, he said PayPal profit margins will be flat in 2013, compared to 2012, while eBay marketplace margins will be in line with previous forecasts, as the company invests for future growth opportunities.

TAPPING MOBILE CONSUMERS

EBay's results were partly driven by rapid growth in mobile shoppers, many of whom bought on eBay.com and with PayPal for the first time.

For 2012 as a whole, more than 4.3 million new users came to eBay through mobile devices, CEO Donahoe said.

The company's online marketplace handled $13 billion in mobile transactions during the year, more than double the volume in 2011. PayPal processed almost $14 billion in mobile payments, more than triple the previous year.

EBay expects both businesses to handle more than $20 billion in mobile transactions each in 2013, the CEO said.

Mobile consumers shop more frequently than personal computer users because they have their smartphones and tablets with them a lot more of the time, Donahoe explained.

INTERNATIONAL DRIVE

EBay's mobile business is also a good way to expand into new countries, the CEO added, citing new mobile applications designed for Brazil and Russia.

In so-called BRIC countries - Brazil, Russia, India and China - as well as emerging markets, many consumers will access the web for the first time using a mobile device, Donahoe said.

"In the BRIC and emerging markets, our new user growth is very significant," the CEO added. "Our 2013 and '14 plans really are stepping on the gas of leveraging our global platforms in those BRIC and emerging markets for new users... We think it's a huge opportunity."

EBay is the largest e-commerce player in Russia and most of the buying and selling happens on the company's English-language sites. The company is planning a new Russian-language website this year, Donahoe said.

Cross-border commerce is about 20 percent of eBay's business now, even though the company has not done much to facilitate such activity, the CEO added.

EBay is trying to increase cross-border commerce by making it easier for sellers to ship products internationally, Donahoe said.

3D-printed 30-round AR magazine brings us ever closer to a fully 3D-printed gun

Share This article

If you’re a fan of a science fiction or perhaps a post-apocalyptic future where roving gangs overthrow traditional government because it’s so easy to get weapons, you might be following the progress of the first fully 3D printed gun. An entire, working gun hasn’t been printed just yet, but now that a 30-round AR magazine has been successfully 3D printed, manufacturers are making significant progress.

The first 3D-printed gun was created by AR15.com forum member Have Blue. It was a pistol, and consisted of a 3D-printed receiver, with a fully metal upper area, such as the barrel. The receiver is actually what legally constitutes a firearm, so in the eyes of the law, that’s a “real” gun. After Have Blue’s gun made the rounds, another company, Defense Distributed (Def Dist), began 3D-printing gun parts. The team has already 3D-printed the receiver of an AR-15 assault rifle, and subsequently tested it to failure. As we previously noted, the rifle only survived for six shots, but that’s pretty impressive for a 3D-printed gun made of plastic.

Interestingly (and somewhat frighteningly), DefDist’s goal is to create what it calls a Wiki Weapon — a fully downloadable and printable gun — stating that people have the right to bear arms.
Now, DefDist has created a 3D-printed 30-round AR magazine. The magazine was printed out on an Ob jet Connex26 using transparent Vero Clear printing material in order to show the magazine’s round count and feeding action. Def Dist noted that the final printed product wasn’t perfect, as “practically every component” had to be shaved at least once. The test wasn’t a completely smooth success, but the team managed one trial that shot about five rounds before failure — not so bad for a first run.

The biggest problem seemed to be feeding the gun, so to make that go over more smoothly, the team added graphite to the inside of the magazine’s body, modified the mag catch slot, and sanded the unit once again. The final result was a 3D-printed magazine that survived for 50 rounds, and remained intact afterward. Def Dist says that though the magazine was beginning to warp from the heat, it could easily last beyond 100 rounds.
  

Reports suggest prices for traditional magazines are up five times from their standard price, so perhaps a cheap, somewhat disposable 3D-printed alternative could provide some kind of solution, or at least satiate the need of gun owners.
There have been some bumps in the road on the way to the first fully 3D-printed gun. Printers were making strides, but one of the most prominent companies, Maker Bot, pulled the blueprints for all 3D-printed gun parts from its site in the wake of the Sandy Hook school shooting. Not quite a death knell for the 3D printing of guns, as Def Dist has just shown, but losing such a prominent company and its available plans will slow down progress a little bit, as well as add a stigma that could scare off some printing enthusiasts.
So far, people have 3D-printed the receiver, and now the magazine. We still haven’t heard any word about a 3D-printed gun stock (we’ve reached out to Def Dist regarding this), though we imagine it wouldn’t be too difficult to print one of those once recoil pressure is accounted for. The biggest challenge would most likely be the barrel, as that’s the piece that bullets actually hit, but the rate Def Dist is progressing, we might see a 3D-printed gun barrel sooner than we think.

'Jurassic Park 4' is coming to a theater near you on June 13, 2014

inShare

Universal has announced that Jurassic Park 4 will come to theaters on June 13, 2014. Further details on the upcoming film are scarce, but according to Variety, the script is being written by Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver. The film, which will be shot and released in 3D, does not yet have a director, but Steven Spielberg — director of the first two Jurassic Park films — is currently slated as a producer. Having just postponed Robopocalypse, Spielberg could potentially direct Jurassic Park 4, but as he still plans to begin shooting his delayed project in six to eight months, it's not very likely. This announcement follows the news that the original Jurassic Park will be rerealeased in theaters for a single week in April in IMAX 3D, which should tide you over until the release of the fourth film.

Sophos Mobile Endpoint Security Built for BYOD

End User Protection is the combination of Sop hos' endpoint-protection and mobile-device-management (MDM) offerings. 

Security remains a top concern for IT departments grappling with the rise of bring your own device (BYOD) initiatives, but a flood of consumer devices in the workplace threatens user privacy and corporate networks, leading data-loss-prevention specialist Sophos to release EndUser Protection. The platform provides consolidated protection for every device on a network by securing per user rather than per device, meaning the organization receives protection for all a user's devices, ranging from Windows and Mac computers to mobile devices like Apple iPhones and iPads, and Google Android devices, wherever they go. "Smartphones and tablets are an everyday part of today's workplace, so businesses are adapting their policies and practices to ensure these devices don't disrupt productivity or compromise security; security enables users to do their work," Charles Kolodgy, research vice president of security products at IDC, said in a statement. "Sophos' model of combining their endpoint and mobile-device-management offerings to secure users rather than devices can eliminate many of the costs and complexities normally associated with securing BYOD." According to a Cisco IBSG Horizons Study released in May 2012, the average number of connected devices per knowledge worker was 2.8, and that number is projected to rise to 3.3 by 2014. A staggering 95 percent of respondents said their organizations permit employee-owned devices in some way in the workplace.

EndUser Protection, the combination of Sophos' endpoint-protection and mobile-device-management (MDM) offerings, is designed to simplify and improve the security and management of every device employees are using to access corporate data. The platform allows IT to enforce secure passcodes, control app installation, and prevent data loss with remote lock and wipe. Sophos also provides over-the-air updates and an end-user self-service portal.

Other features include support for virtual machines with no extra licensing costs, integrated Web security into the antivirus agent to block Web-based threats and keep users safe from malicious sites, built-in URL filtering and network storage protection for NetApp, EMC and Sun filers.

"Every day, I use three or four different devices for business purposes, and the consumerization trend points to more people using even more devices," Sophos Chief Marketing Officer Matt Fairbanks said in a statement. "Our value proposition to customers and partners is complete security without complexity. And as BYOD moves more to the forefront of complete security, Sophos EndUser Protection allows more IT professionals to embrace BYOD rather than try to reverse it."
