Next iPhone images leaked, bigger display!

Now folks over at M.I.C Gadget got their hands on first leaked images of an iPhone which is completely different from the current model. As you can see in the image above, the screen size is slightly bigger than the current model and the display is edge-to-edge. I think this is the real iPhone 4S/iPhone 5 and the one we saw running on T-Mobile was just another prototype test version of White iPhone 4. It’s possible that this device will come with a dual-core A5 processor, 8 MP camera, and the latest unreleased version of iOS.

Check out another image of the leaked device in comparison with iPhone 4:

What's new in Facebook Groups

Facebook, today announced updates to its GROUP feature that are targeted to make th platform a better place to share content within small networks.

Since private photo sharing platform Path and a host of group messaging companies have highlighted the importance of sharing within small groups, it seems Facebook is taking selective sharing more seriously as well.

In October, one month before Path launched, Facebook unveiled a new Groups feature that creates shared spaces where members can participate in communal group chats, email lists, document sharing and photo tagging.

Now the platform is improving this feature, as well as launching a “Send” button that creates a more specific sharing alternative to the all-friends “Like” button.

You can expect to see these updates on Group pages starting Monday.
Admin Control: The Group admin now has an option to maintain new member approval power.
Questions: You can now use Facebook’s new poll-like Questions feature within groups.
Photo Albums: Members of Groups can already share photos with each other easily. Now they can share entire albums the same way.
Group Search: Like Gmail, you can now search through the posts in a Facebook Group to easily find content. This feature will roll out slowly throughout the next week.

What do you think of this new update? Is there any other fature which you would like to see? Let us know in the comments!

Connect two computers or laptops wirelessly

Here’s an exciting trick to connect two computers or laptops wirelessly using Wipeer.

Software: Wipeer

Wipeer Thumbnail

Need to quickly connect up to your friends laptop wirelessly while you’re at school so you can download his entire MP3 and movie collection? Unless you’re on the same network and in the same workgroup or domain, it’s practically impossible to share data between two computers without some technical knowledge.
However, if you have a laptop or computer that has a wireless card and so does your buddy, you can use them to make a wireless connection between the two laptops. Once they are connected wirelessly (also called a peer-to-peer ad-hoc wireless network), you can easily share data between the computers.
You can create an ad-hoc network in Windows itself, however, it’s a real pain in the butt and still not very easy to share data even after the two computers are connected. That’s where you can download a freeware application that will help you setup a wireless peer-to-peer network between two computers with any need for a router, access point or the Internet!
WiPeer not only supports directly file sharing between computers, but also playing multi-player games, chatting, and collaboration between programs.

Here are a couple of the major features of this nifty little application:

Ad-Hoc social networks – WiPeer is also like an IM application, whereby you can create your own profiles and send chat requests from the program itself. You can also see who else is online if they are running WiPeer in proxmity.

Interactive Multiplayer Games – This program is cool! It comes with games built into it like chess, Chinese checkers, Reversi, and Connect 4!

File Sharing & File Searching – You can share files or complete folders with others using WiPeer. You can also search files that are shared out by other WiPeer users, but does not show private files.

Create Ad-Hoc networks – This is obviously the best feature of WiPeer! You can create a connection between two computers without any reliance on routers, access points, or any other third party infrastructure. They can be formed anywhere, like on trains, buses, airplanes, etc.

It’s a good idea to keep the program on your USB stick also just in case you run into a friend that you would like to share data with, but they don’t have WiPeer installed on their computer. It’s a tiny program (only 4MB) and doesn’t take up very many resources at all!

Overall, a great program that should have been created a long time ago! Works wonderfully and saves a TON of hassle!

Enjoy!
