So Why is the Samsung Galaxy S3 is most Poplular now ? The only answer is itsGreatness and Outstanding Features.
So now take a look at Samsung Galaxy S3 Features in Detail.

Features

Watch out this Officially Released Video of Samsung Galaxy S3, Designed for Human and Inspired by Nature. You will get a brief Idea about the Phone after viewing this Video. After this Read the Full Samsung Galaxy S3 Phone Review and Specification in Detail.

Software, Intelligence, Sharing, Greatness and Enhancements.

The Galaxy S3 uses Google's Android Mobile Operating System ( Android Version 4 ). Its TouchWiz User Interface, like most Interfaces, consists of Elements such asSliders, Switches, and Buttons.

S Voice

S Voice is a Intelligent Personal Assistant and Knowledge Navigator which works as an Application for Samsung's Android Smart Phones ( Similar to Apple's Siri ). It responds to You, i.e. You can Tell the Phone to Wake Up, Answer an Incoming Call, or even take a Photo. 
The Application uses a Natural Language User Interface to Answer Questions, make Recommendations, and Perform Actions by delegating requests to a set of Web Services.

Smart Stay

One of the other big-hitting features Samsung is talking about is the ability to Track your Eyeballs to make sure the Display Stays Lit when you're looking at it. In theory this should mean that you can keep the Screen Timeout to a minimum of Fifteen Seconds and then Never have to Worry about it Turning Off. A little Eye Icon ( Eyecon) Appears in the Notification Bar when it's Tracking your Peepers. It waits till you're Asleep, the Screen maintains a bright Display as long as you're looking at it. 
In practice it works around 75% of the Time, even in Bright Light it can sometimes still Turn Off the Display, despite the icon Showing up. In fact, the Icon can Pop Up even when you're Wearing Sunglasses - so it's hard to trust it.

Smart Alert

Smart alert takes the Motion Sensor in the Phone and Sends you a Vibration Notification if you have any Notifications that you haven’t Cleared yet. What is most likely happening here, if the phone picks and chooses what notifications to tell you about via Smart Alert, there is likely a White-List of sorts that allows you to set notification type for Smart Alert.It knows when you've been away from your phone: a vibrating nudge lets you know that you have missed calls or messages.

Social Tag

The most Interesting Intelligent Functions of the Galaxy S3 is the Social TaggingFeature. According to Samsung, the Galaxy S3 is capable of Identifying and Properly Tagging the people in your Photos as long as you have them added asContacts ( with an attached picture ). If this Face Recognition Software works as Samsung claims it does, it is one of the most Interesting Smartphone Capabilitiesever.
The Social Share ability takes matters one step further, by allowing you to instantly Share the Pictures with the contacts the S3 has recognized in the photo.It keeps track of your loved ones, a glance at your friend's photos will show you their current SNS status.

Direct Call

Direct Call allows you to make a Call simply by Lifting the Phone to your Ear while writing a Message to Someone, or while Specific Contact Details are brought up to the Display. Just lift, and Speak. It's a nice Feature to have but we can think of many Scenarios where this could Go Wrong. It knows when you want to talk.

S Beam

Sharing your Content with Friends nearby should be Easy, Quick, and even Fun. S Beam lets you Bond Instantly so you can Transfer Documents, Contacts, Pictures, Music, Videos, you Name it. Just put the Backs of your Phones Together, Connect, Share and Enjoy.
The biggest issue that S Beam will face initially would be with the compatibility. As Samsung rolls out more devices that are S Beam compliant, the service will become useful to anyone with multiple Samsung Devices. The Features being Implemented here will be unique to Samsung, and will further encourage users to stick with Samsung with all Devices moving forward.

AllShare Play

There’s another way to Share content on various Devices. It’s called AllShare Play, and it lets you share with everyone, Access Documents and Multimedia even when you're away from your Computer. It lets us work together through the magic of DLNA and Wi-Fi Direct, giving us Remote access to Documents and Multimedia files when we Work on a different Screen somewhere else.

Buddy Photo Share

It Shares with Everyone instantly. As the Phone recognizes your Friends' Faces, it can Share Photos with them instantly. It works using Facial Recognition Technologyto identify each of your Subjects, then shoots the Picture to them Automatically via Email or Text Message.

Face Zoom

This Facial Recognition Feature Highlights Individuals Standing ( or Seated ) together in a Group, letting you simply Double Tap on a Face to Fill the Frame. It doesn't appear to be much different from the Traditional Double Tap Zoom Option, but this method Enables a Bit more Precision.

Face Slideshow

You might find Facial Slideshow Entertaining, especially when it comes to making outIndividuals in a Huge Group Shot. The Feature essentially creates a Slideshow from One Image, Cycling through Portraits of each Person in the Frame.

AllShare Cast ( Will be available soon )

It lets you play together, Beam your Photos, Videos and even the Game you're Playing onto the Big Screen while your Phone Doubles as a Controller.

Design

Inspire by Nature, the Minimal Organic Design of the Samsung GALAXY S3 is reflected in its Smooth and Gentle Curves, while its Human Centric Nature Provides an Ergonomic and Comfortable Experience with Enhanced Usability.
Samsung Galaxy S3 has Brushed Polycarbonate Body with " Marble White " and "Pebble Blue " Colours. It's Dimensions are 136.6 x 70.6 x 8.6 mm, despite still having to Pack in a 4.8-Inch Super AMOLED HD Screen. The plastic feeling of the Samsung Galaxy S3 won't appeal to all. It feels very Lightweight ( 133g ). 

It has got a Really Solid Gorilla Glass 2 Front, a Well Packaged Interior and a moreRobust Battery Cover.Compared to rest of the Galaxy Line, the S3 has more in common with the Original Galaxy S than the S2, with Curved Edges the Theme in the Design Language.

The Home Button has also been Elongated, although the same Menu and Back Buttons remain from the Prequel.The Button Design around the Phone has been well thought, as for a Phone this big it's very difficult to make all the Keys Accessible, so putting the Lock Button on the Right Hand Side rather than the Top makes a Large degree of Sense.

The Volume Up and Down Button is Parallel to the Lock key on the Left Hand Sideof the Phone, and also within easy reach when Holding the Galaxy S3 in the Hand.

The MicroUSB Slot is placed at the Bottom of the Phone. The Battery Cover is also made of the same Polycarbonate Material as the rest of the Body. Yes, you read that Right, the Battery cover is Removable.

Pop Up Play

It lets you do Two things at Once i.e. Watch HD Videos as you Email or Text. Pop Up Play Lets you Play a Video anywhere on your Galaxy S3's 4.8 Inch Super AMOLED Display, on Top of Another App, that means you can watch a Video while checking your Email, and then Switch Back to Playing the Video in Full Screen Mode.
It's Picture-in-Picture, except instead of your TV it's on your Galaxy S3. We've seen some attempts at Multi Window Multitasking before from Samsung, with the " Mini Apps" on its TouchWiz Tablets, but this feature seems like it could be a big step Upward in Usefulness.

4.8" HD Super AMOLED Display

Seeing for real, 4.8 Inches of High Definition Display, True and Perfect Color with Ultrafast Response Time. Samsung Galaxy S3 HD Video Playback is Outrageously Sharp and is Incredibly Energy Efficient and Amazingly thin.

The Worlds Fastest Car? Which is the REAL one? (Automotive, road, user, driver, speed, power, Auckland)

What is the Worlds Fastest car? Determining which is the fastest car in the world will depend on how you define fast.

We will talk about the fastest accelerating car in the world, the fastest cars top speed, the car that had the fastest time at Nürburgring, the worlds fastest street car, legal street car that is. In other words the Bugatti Veyron, the SSC Ultimate Aero TT, the Pagani Zonda R and the Maxximus G-Force Find out more about the worlds fastest cars and how they got the reputation for being the fastest.

The Bugatti Veyron

The fastest accelerating car in the world is the Bugatti Veyron.
The Bugatti Veyron, manufactured by Bugatti Automobiles was a pet project of Ferdinand Piech. Peich was a former CEO of VW. Built to be the fastest production car in the world, the Veyron has an 8.0 L W16 engine. This powerhouse produces 1020 HP, 992 ft-lbf. torque. In 2.6 seconds this car can reach 60 mph. In 9.9 seconds the Bugatti Veyron can hit 100 mph and return to 0.

The Veyron weights as much as some trucks, weighting in at four thousand five hundred pounds. How many of the fastest accelerating car in the world were sold? 200 of the Veyron were sold with a price tag of 1.1 million dollars each during it’s production period.
One famous owner we all are familiar with is Simon Cowell of American Idol fame. Even if you don’t always agree with Simons Idol choices, you have to love his choice of cars.
The SSC Ultimate Aero TT
The record for the fastest cars top speed in the world is the SSC Ultimate Aero TT. So if it is speed you are looking for this would be considered the worlds fastest car. The Ultimate Aero TT was built by Shelby Super cars. It wasn’t designed by Carrol Shelby as we would expect. It was designed by Jerod Shelby who was a medical equipment designer. In 2001 Jerod began to design cars and came up with a Super car of his very own.
Under the hood of the Ultimate Aero TT twin turbo 7.01 V 8 engines produce 1183 HP along with 1112 ft-lbf torque. This car, unlike the Veyron, weights a slight 2750 pounds. To put this in understandable terms, the Ultimate Aero TT weights the same as a Ford Focus. Makes you wonder where all that power comes from, doesn’t it?
The Ultimate Aero TT actually reached 256 MPH and taking the title of the worlds taking the title of the worlds fastest production vehicle from the Veyron. It is believed that the TT could reach over 270 mph but was never put on a track that was long enough to test that theory. There were not many of these super cars built, only 25 TT’s and with a cost of 645,000.00 I can understand why there wasn’t a demand for more.
The Pagani Zonda R
The fastest production car with the fastest time at Nürburgring was the Pagani Zonda R. Some automotive manufacturers use Nürburgring time as a standard to rate their production cars lap times. One of the most difficult tracks in the history of motor sports it is a great track to test a vehicles suspension tuning.
The Pagani Zonda R is the production car that owns the track record at Nürburgring. The Pagini’s time is 6:47 with an AMG V 12 that creates 739 HP with 523 ft-pounds torque. Another light weight, the Pangini R weights in at 2358 pounds, not much less than the Ultimate Aero TT.
The Pagini R design makes use of a F 1 vehicles technology with it’s use of Telemetry recordings. These recordings allow car drivers and crew to study the driving techniques used on the track. IF you didn’t order your R right away, chances are you didn’t get one. Only 15 will be made and each will be over the one million dollar mark.
The Maxximus G-Force
The Worlds fastest street car, correction, I mean the fastest legal street car is the Maxximus G-Force. Sounds fast, doesn’t it? How did a Ultima GTR become the worlds fastest street car? Well, a little reengineering that allows it to hold a Chevy twin turbo seven liter block.
This twin turbo seven can produce 1500 ft lbf torque along with 1600 HP. And it does it with a three speed automatic transmission. In 2.0 seconds flat it can go from 0 mph to 60. Give it 4.5 seconds and it is going 100. The Maxximus G-Force may be the worlds fastest street car, but it will never be mass produced.
These Supercars Are The Worlds Fastest Cars
The Supercars are often describe as a ultrahigh end exotic vehicle that is superior to most other cars made. The cars we have shown you in our article are definately more expensive, faster or more powerful than most cars in the world today. We find these Supercars so appealing. They are sexy and they are hot. It’s fun to see them and to read about them.
The Bugatti Veyron, the SSC Ultimate Aero TT, the Pagani Zonda R and the The Maxximus G-Force all have something in common. A couple things actually. They are very expensive, they are very sleek and each of them qualifies as the worlds fastest car in one category or another. 

Handy tips for Apple iPhone 4 Users: How to make your iPhone battery last longer

Recently, when standing in a field at Glastonbury, the idea came to us – was it really possible to make your iPhone battery last for several days? Well yes it is, as long as you completely strip down the power-sucking features and follow a few simple tips. Keep an eye on how long your iPhone typically lasts by going to Settings > General > Usage.

And, although this is not completely a power-saving tip, before you leave it's always best to make sure you have the latest software installed: Apple is always working on little fixes to improve your iPhone's power savings.

1. Keep it cool
Seriously. Don't put your phone in the sun. Don't leave it in a hot pocket. Battery life is lowered by heat and you should store your iPhone in temperatures less than 35 degrees centigrade – below 95F. As close to room temperature as possible is best for use.

2. Don't use power-sucking apps you don't need to 
Minimise your app use, especially if it's a game, stuff that sucks data (hello, Facebook) or uses GPS. Not only does some of the fun stuff suck power, it can also stop the auto-lock coming on.

3. Turn off 3G
So there we were, in our field, with little data coverage (thanks O2). So what did we do? Turn off data, that's what. If you haven't got it, there's no point in wasting juice looking for it. Settings > General > Network and slide Enable 3G to Off.

4. No to EQ
Who'd have thunk, but equalising your iPod playback can drain your battery pack. Settings > iPod > EQ is where to turn it off.

5. Don't fetch
Set the common apps to only fetch data when you want them to. Set Mail, Contacts and Calendars to only fetch data Manually. BE WARNED - if you have MobileMe, it's dangerous to set the auto-check to Manual, since the much-vaunted Find My iPhone won't work.

6. Don't make long calls
Or don't make any calls. Sounds like the stupid filler tip, but if you do make calls (and you probably do, as that's almost certainly what you're conserving battery for), just keep 'em short.

7. Lock it up
iPhone not in use? Make sure you lock the screen and set the auto-lock to a minute in case you leave it unlocked.

8. Don't use the GPS
Minimise use of it (such as in Maps or turn-by-turn sat-nav) and disable it: Settings > General > Location Services. If you're lost, ignore this advice.

9. Turn it off when you don't need it
Sleeping? With all your mates anyway? Then turn your phone off. Bit pointless if it's for 10 minutes, but if it's hours, it will add up.

10. Disable Wi-Fi
Nowhere near a wireless network? Go to Settings and slide Wi-Fi- to off. However, if you are going to be doing a fair amount of data browsing and you are near a wireless network, it will be better for your battery to use this than the thirsty cellular signal.

11. Turn off Bluetooth
Likewise, make sure Bluetooth is off. And keep it there unless you use accessories: Settings > General > Bluetooth and slide Bluetooth to Off.

12. Push off
Not many apps use push notifications, but in the future this will have more of an effect on your iPhone's battery life as more start to. Settings > Notifications and slide Notifications to Off – only visible if you have relevant apps installed. Apple says this won't stop the apps receiving data when the app is actually open though, so be careful, unless you've disabled data in other ways. Equally you need to turn off push mail (MobileMe, Microsoft Exchange). Go to Settings Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data and slide Push to Off.

13. Turn it downRefrain from employing the speaker for music playback and turn down the volume - louder playback can make a difference, even with the headphones. Set the phone to silent on the side.

14. Dim your screen
Turn off auto-brightness and whack the brightness down as low as possible. Especially effective for many of us, as it's the supreme brightness that's one of the things that makes the iPhone screen look terrific, so it's usually very bright as a default.

15. Go airplane
If you've got very little coverage, you can't make calls anyway. If you're going to be in a coverage lowspot for a little while, turn on Airplane Mode. It makes a serious difference, since your handset won't be continuously searching for a network signal. This is one of the biggest drains of battery life on any handset.
