If you are tired of paying for overpriced postcards or just do not have the time to rummage for the picture perfect postcard found on the many tourist shacks, why not just create your own. Come to think of it If you own an iPhone and have an app that allows you to create professional postcards in a snap then it would it be nicer just to create one than buy one.

You see, there is an app available these days on iTunes that allows iPhone users to create professional looking postcards. The Postman app is the solution that could finally free you from the hassle of finding a worthy postcard to send to your love ones and friends.

The app is so easy to use that even a first time user will not find it difficult at all, as you just tap the app to turn it on. If you have taken several photos already and want to send a postcard to your friend then simply open the library, browse to select the most beautiful picture and add a greeting or message, even both if you like. Once done, pick your postcard theme, tap share on the app and send to as many friends as you want.

Just a little note, the Postman app is not free as you can take advantage of this amazing tool for $2.99 but it is nothing, as you can create tons of postcards so it is still cheaper and eco-friendly.

Apple Updates Mac mini

 

Apple’s latest update to their Mac mini offers a number of improvements; these include better CPU’s, better graphics, and improved operating system.  To put it simply Apple claims that the new Mac mini will ship with twice as much processor speed, twice the graphics speed, and the fastest, most versatile I/O in any desktop.

Specifically the Mac mini features the latest dual-core Intel Core i5 processors with a selection of either 2.3GHz or 2.5GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 or for the serious speedaholics amongst us the 2.7GHz Intel Core i7. These processors offer excellent performance and power making the Mac mini as powerful as computers many times its size. Along with a faster processor Turbo Boost 2.0 increases the clock speed of the processor to 3.4GHz more than adequate for most applications.  Hyper-threading or simultaneous multithreading of the CPUs ensures multiple tasks at once can be carried out without any loss in performance.

For the gamers amongst us it is vital that we have powerful processors, however just as important is the speed of the graphics. Well the 2.5GHz Mac mini ships with an AMD Radeon HD graphics processor with 256MB of GDDR5 memory. What does this mean? Well it means that you will experience super fast responsive gaming.  Intel’s HD graphics processor within the 2.3GHz Mac mini makes it an excellent choice for managing and editing photos and HD videos.

Thunderbolt technology in the Mac mini provides fast and stable data transfer from its two 10-Gbps channels.  The advantage with this is that it is claimed to be 12 times faster than FireWire 800 and 20 times faster than the conventional USB 2.0. For extreme circumstances, up to 6 Thunderbolt peripherals can be joined together to form a continuous connected chain.

Other essential features include the latest 802.11n wireless technology to make sure you are connected to a WiFi network, built-in SDXC card, HDMI port and HDMI to DVI adapter, 500GB hard drive or an optional 750GB hard drive, and either 2GB or 4GB of fast 1333MHz DDR3 memory.

Paypal App Let You Send Money Via iPhone  Paypal iphone App

 

PayPal is a popular way to send and receive money online, a secure site that allows you to create an account and manage it for free. It is the most convenient way to purchase online, much better than using your credit card.  By the way, PayPal is owned by eBay, a well-known online store for buying brand-new and second-hand stuff.

PayPal app allows account holders to send money, repay their friends, do business, transfer funds to their bank account anytime and anywhere they go. In fact, do whatever you usually do when you use PayPal as long as you have an iPhone or iPad and since the app is downloadable for free then everything is a lot easier.

The PayPal app works the same way as you would use PayPal on the internet, with a slight difference of course. You see, the features are a bit different since iPhone apps use a mobile platform, so there is a slight difference but it is still as useful.

In other words, you get to send money, receive, and transfer funds to your bank account as you normally do using a computer. You also get to check the balance of your funds, view past transactions, withdraw funds, and snap a photo of the check you want to add to your account using your iPhone without paying a fee. In addition, create, manage and track your fundraising campaign easily.

PayPal app is a must to download if you own an iPhone and when you do business online using a regular PayPal account. Take note, there is no reason to open your laptop anytime you are travelling just to check if your client has paid you or if you want to make a payment online as you can just simply tap the app on your mobile phone and do your business right there and then.
