Apple rumored to launch iPhone in many sizes and colors

Apple has reached to huge amount of users with its products and quality. As we have see from couple of years, Apple has announced different models of iPhone, iPod, iPads and MAC with lof of features such as Retina display, Processing speed and designs. Earlier, some users thought Apple do not launch hand-held devices in different sizes or colors(except 1 or 2 colors) but Apple proved them wrong by releasing iPhone and iPad in new size such as iPhone5, iPad mini. Some users thought they do not get chance to select device color as Apple has their devices only in 1 or 2 colors, so Apple came out with iPod touch in different colors recently in 2012 and now it might be the turn of iPhone as Apple might launch iPhone in different colors and sizes.

New model of iPhone which is rumored to be released by the end of 2nd quarter is reported to be called "iPhone5s". It is said to have about 8 colors and different sizes so as to reach lot many users and compete in the market. 

As reports, when Apple marketing chief Phil Schiller was asked whether Apple would launch iPhone in different sizes, many colors and also at cheaper price, he stated "Apple will never sacrifice quality in order to gain greater unit share in the market". 

Well, what do you think? iPhone will be available in different size and colors?

Paragon HFS+ for Windows - Read, Write and Execute Permission (Full Access)

I got totally pissed off when I installed Windows on MAC using dual boot method(Boot Camp Utility) since I had no chance of writing files or executing any applications from Mac partition(HFS+). Initially, I thought Mac partition has read, write and execute permissions, but when I tried to copy a file, it popped with an error stating "You do not have sufficient privileges/Permissions and blah blah blah…".  So I thought, its time to use third party application which supports RWX permission.

First software which I came across is Mac Drive. As Mac Drive has stated, it should have provided me with full access to Mac partition, but it turned out to be false as it provided only read and write but no executable permission. Then I thought, Ok let me give last try to get handy tool which can actually solve my problem and started to look for a software. That was the time I found Paragon HFS+.

Features:-

Full access to HFS+/HFSX partitions.

Full compatibility with Boot Camp drivers

Files and folder with “.” as the first symbol of file name are shown as hidden

USB 3.0 ready

(Solved) Integrate C++ code with Objective C in XCode

 

XCode is a IDE which works only on MAC systems. XCode provides support to program in Objective-C language, C, C++, OpenGL and etc.. Objective-C codes are saved in .m format, C files in .c and C++ files in .cpp format. But when you try to integrate C++ code with Objective-C code, then XCode shows an error. This is because Objective-C code performs late binding but C++ code performs Compile time binding. So there will be mismatch with the compiler. 

Techspace provides you a solution with which you will be able to integrate C++ files with Objective-C code. When you try to include "iostream" file in C++, XCode shows an error saying "iostream" file cannot be found. The solution for this is to save ".c" or ".cpp" file in ".mm"  format. 

".mm" specifies that instead of compiling with Objective-C compiler, compile the file with default c++ compiler. Now if you come across error saying any of the import or include files not found, then change the Objective-C file which is currently saved in ".m" format to ".mm". Now clean the project and re-build and run. This should work without any errors. 

Please post your comments below if you still get errors and find difficulty in finding solution for the problem. Stay tuned for lot many solutions.
