'My Favorite Apps' : Zoe's Secret Style

. @ZoesSecretStyle. @PicsArtMobile. @SurfCityApps #app. #blog. #pic.

From our partner blog, Zoe's Secret Style.

Hello lovelies! These are my favorite apps (all free of course - at least on iPhones). I have a lot more but figured they aren't as interesting.

1) Bloglovin - I swear I read blogs during every single spare second I have. The down side to that is that I always run out of blogs to read, and its very rare that I like the "popular" ones.. Please comment your Bloglovin URLs - I'm desperate!

2) Twitter - when I'm not on Bloglovin, this is where I am: tweeting, RTing and reading tweets (and finding more blogs to read).

3) Pinterest - I'm usually only here early in the morning before everyones tweeting and Twitter is dead. (I live in Israel which is GMT+2), so usually only on my school bus.

4) Depression by Surf City Apps - they have a lot of hypnosis apps that I love listening to. They're about 30 minutes each, and make me feel better instantly while I'm feeling depressed. I also have their Sleep Well app that helps me fall asleep.

5) 8Tracks - I love discovering new music. If you're new to 8tracks, basically how it works is that people create playlists and you listen to them. You can also 'like' playlists so the app knows what kind of playlists to recommend.

6) PicsArt - my favorite editing app! Offers lots of different services, filters, fonts etc.

I also love WhatsApp, but didn't know where to put it as its an essential for me and not for fun (well.. also).

Do you use any of these? What do you think of them and what are your favorite apps?

A Transformational Experience

. @hjbentham. #transhumanism. #transformer. #tech. #netbook.

I have been genuinely awed by a radical new design of netbook, which I bought to replace an earlier machine after the keyboard suffered under a coffee spill. When this coffee spill destroyed the keyboard with with which I had written 15 books and published work in over 40 different sources, I realized just how dependent I had been on technology. What to do? Surely, anything else I bought would eventually succumb to the same kind of silly accident? I don't believe that.

My solution? Imagine that you spill your coffee on your laptop computer. You do not waste a moment mourning your lost technology. Instead, you disconnect the compromised keyboard and throw it to the floor after which you continue with the touchscreen. ASUS has introduced the "Transformer Book", with which you can now do this. After I had ordered the Transformer Book, swayed by its promise of transformation, I regained control of the keyboard that had suffered under the coffee spill. However, that didn't change my mind about buying a Transformer Book.

All the essential hardware of the transformer book is contained in the screen. which detaches to become a 10-inch tablet. Such a design is inherently more durable and effective that what you'll find in conventional netbooks. Keyboards get worn down, and they create a horrible vulnerability to liquids. Touchscreens malfunction if they get liquids on them, but they don't suffer any permanent damage.

What I found was the ASUS Transformer Book T100. I tend to only go for the cheapest available computers, and this was no exception, but I was impressed by the incredible power of this tiny computer. Honestly, it is like having the power of a full desktop PC in your hands.

The new separation feature, in which the screen and keyboard can be separated to offer an incredibly powerful tablet, make this netbook very friendly. It is comfortable for entertainment and play, as well as being as efficient as possible for work. You can literally use this as two completely different devices.

If you have a very mobile lifestyle or you prefer not to be fixed in one place, this gives you the power of a full desktop PC wherever you go. The Transformer book is very fast, excellent for writers and bloggers, who will find themselves able to get everything done at the maximum speed and efficiency.

Making the most of your #laptop… case

An excellent laptop case is essential if you take good care of your hardware on the move. Netbooks have their own selection of cases too. The following are the best choices determined by ClubOfINFO, if you are in need of a case.

Cases can actually be used for more than just keeping dust off your laptop. According to one personal security expert, they even help privacy. Correctly sealed, they will neutralize the ability of hackers and government spies to listen in on your personal conversations via your machine when it isn’t in use.

Best laptop case

A laptop sleeve is just as effective as a laptop case (minus that you can’t keep your lead and other equipment in it), and many are carefully engineered impact foam to absorb shock if the machine is dropped. Our recommendation of this kind is the Case Logic sleeve for 15 inch screens.

If a full case is what you are searching for, you will need to be prepared to pay more, but it will have the added bonus of being able to store your lead, a tablet and more. In fact, many of these are indistinguishable from the briefcases that many people use to carry their workload. For this, we recommend the Case Logic 17 inch laptop and tablet case.

Of course, we recognize that these cases only work for you if you have one of the bigger laptops that are increasingly popular now. Many, like me, instead prefer to rely on netbooks because they are such small and convenient partners to have.

Best netbook case

A sleeve is the most convenient and reliable way of keeping hold of a netbook. Netbooks are so small that, once in a sleeve, they can be put away in almost any briefcase and not burden the user much. The Kensington reversible sleeve is very good quality and has been reduced recently to a very low price, which makes it by far the most logical choice.

One suggestion would be to combine this with a Samsonite briefcase or similar, which would allow for easily moving documents and a netbook. University students making their way to lectures are particularly fond of this kind of combination.

#PRODUCT: Best and cheapest flashlight torch on @Amazon?

Whether you are caught in a power cut or trekking in the night and exploring abandoned buildings (like we all know you do), there are three things that everyone looks for in a good flashlight and exponentially improving technology is here to help you.

1, lighter and smaller is best. 2, nobody wants the torch to empty the battery too quickly, or get dim as the battery is drained. 3, it should be durable.

Now that we know what we want, let us go through the best options found by CLUBOF.INFO at Amazon.

#3: UltraFire Cree

Equipped with 5 different modes and extremely bright, this torch will light up the whole place with blazing white LEDs, thus keeping night terrors away and helping you sleep at night. Its fantastic design can allow you to spot wildlife even 200 yards away in the dark, provided of course that you zoom the beam. In fact, this is bright enough that you should take care to keep it out of reach of kids, or they might be burning your retinas when you next look in their direction.

The UltraFire works effectively with just 3 AAA batteries. Its five modes include strobe light mode, and all reviews show that it is very easy to use. Reviewers say it is a good choice for camping and any other situations where a bright light might come in handy. Reasonably priced, this is one of the best options that can be recommended on Amazon.

Click for a closer view at Amazon, if you want to try this out.

#2: ProTac HL

With specifications showing that it has 600 lumens of blinding light and 253 meters of beam distance, the ProTac HL is the brightest in the ProTac series. It is advertised to offer the latest in power LED technology, and three different selectable programs that are entirely up to the user. Thanks to its unique technology, this is “one of the brightest tactical personal carry lights for its size”. It is recommended for “law enforcement, security, emergency medical services, sporting goods, hardware/tool, and consumer use.”

Satisfied? Click to view at Amazon.

#1: Mini Cree

Now this is a lot of light from such a tiny device. CLUBOF.INFO sees this as the best option for just about any average user, offering a compelling combination of all three features you most want in a flashlight torch. In fact, I might just add this to my own basket right now (it has been reduced from $35.48 to $3.18 recently.)

This option brings you super mini size and a bright, blinding effect. The Mini Cree has a durable design and is waterproof. Still capable of remarkable power despite its tiny size, its output can come to a maximum of 300 lumens. It has an adjustable focus range for different usage, stretching to adjust its focus. Just pull the head of the flashlight, and it extends to adjust the zoom. This torch will utilize its batteries to the maximum, wasting nothing. It is suitable for everything from hunting to just about any emergency situation.

Above all, the Mini Cree is cost-effective, light, tiny and extremely powerful.

Just click through to get this cute, tiny flashlight.
