			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are one of millions who is already in love with the new <a href= "http://www.apple.com/iphone/">iPhone 3GS</a> that was launched recently on the electronic market; then <img class="alignright" src="http://www.geekdaily.net/images/iphone3gs.jpg" alt="iPhone 3GS" />hold on to your hats.  iPhones have just begun to scratch the surface when it comes to integrating advanced technology and will be capable of much more in the very near future. From haptic tactile-feedback to fingerprint-controlled operations and business applications, and more!</p>
<p>Although there has not been very much information given to the general public about upcoming features, the very recent <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=iphone+patent+applications&#038;hl=en&#038;ned=us&#038;tab=nw">patent applications</a> from Apple have provided a strong hint of what the future will hold for your mobile phone. You better believe that these upcoming features are thrilling, and will change the way you look at and use mobile technology. In this post, we consider some future improvements, and what they can do for you.</p>
<p>The most appealing feature for future iPhones has to be the haptic tactile feedback that Apple is hoping to embrace. This is an attempt to simulate the physical keyboard / input panel and is expected to be an essential feature. This will allow the user to be able to sense the <img class="alignleft" src="http://www.geekdaily.net/images/haptic.jpg" alt="Haptic Technolofy" />input panel on the touchscreen while typing or entering information. This will purge the need to for you to look at the screen all the time while typing, and allow you to take care of other business or even use applications while your phone is in your pocket. The <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haptic_technology>haptic technology</a> makes use of a piezoelectric actuators grid. Piezoelectric materials have the incredible property to be able to generate electricity when pressure is applied across them. In this manner, the touch based input components will provide a tactile feedback in the form of vibrations upon the application via pressure from the fingers during typing or scrolling. Thus, you would actually be able to feel the essence of real buttons even if you are actually working with virtual ones. All in all, haptic technology will enable mobile phone users to realize virtual reality through the sense of touch, which otherwise could only be realized through vision. This sort of interaction through virtual keys is implausible and has never seen before, nor even mentioned.</p>
<p>You have probably already seen a fingerprint sensor for security purposes when it comes to your most expensive gadgets. However, Apple has out thought everyone by expanding the use of fingerprint technology far beyond the more orthodox security purposes. This implies that you could now control your gadgets with your fingerprints only. <img class="alignright" src="http://www.geekdaily.net/images/fingerprint.jpg" alt="Fingerprint Technolofy" />The technicalities involved behind the screen would be as follows. Input sensing mechanisms are used to input the fingerprint signature through sensors and then a command is processed to be associated with that unique fingerprint signature. Accordingly, a database is created to store those signatures and the corresponding command is then associated with those signatures. This database can be modified at a number of different times. Now, when a user fingerprint is detected it is first matched with the samples in the database. If it matches with any of the prototypes in the database then the command associated with that prototype is executed. </p>
<p>To illustrate further, consider you have stored your index fingerprint in the database and associated a command to play the media player. On similar lines your ring finger print is stored with the command to play the media player. Now, if a song is being played on your iPhone and you place your index finger on the detector, the song will pause. To resume play you would simply place your ring finger on the detector. Hence, future iPhones are really going to out think and outmaneuver the current expectations of the electronic market.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://www.geekdaily.net/images/rfid.jpg" alt="RFID with iPhone" />Another expected feature in upcoming iPhones is the <a href= http://www.tutorial-reports.com/wireless/rfid/introduction.php >Radio Frequency Identification (RIFD)</a> reader. There will also be tags which will be intended for providing several business applications to iPhone users (such as tracking library books etc.). Apple has been able to incorporate the RIFD circuitry into the touch sensor panel (it now also acts like a RIFD transponder) which has eradicated the requirement of extra space for the antenna. This has enabled Apple to integrate the iPhone with RIFD technology. </p>
<p>With such advancements, who knows what&#8217;s next! So, sit back, relax and get excited about the future iPhone. Maybe one day your iPhone will be able to do your laundry or wash your car. Hey, everyone can dream right?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No matter how long you&#8217;ve played your six string for, at some point, every guitar player has a choice to make. Either you can decide to play just for fun, or, you can decide to get really serious and decide to master and learn guitar.  If this is you, congratulations, you are about to embark on a fantastic, challenging and yet rewarding musical journey.</p>
<p>There are many different ways to master and learn guitar. I would like to share with you three simple steps that will allow you to focus your quest in pursuing the guitar more seriously.</p>
<p>1.  Find a guitar instructor<br />
2.  Increase your practice schedule<br />
3.  Practice in modules</p>
<p>1.  Find a guitar instructor:  It is of utmost importance that if you&#8217;re going to get serious in learning how to master and learn guitar; that you find an instructor that has played the guitar for more than 10 years. If your teacher has a musical education behind them, even better.  Having someone to tutor you on guitar will allow you to stay focused and learn proper technique more quickly than if you were to try learning on your own. The guitar instructor will also be able to challenge your playing abilities and give you homework that will allow you to improve your playing skills</p>
<p>2.  Increase your practice schedule:  If you are a casual player who practices occasionally, this will need to stop. I generally recommend to a beginner guitar player a bare minimum of two times a week for a half hour. In the case of a serious musician wanting to master and learn guitar, I recommend a minimum of 3 to 5 times a week for an hour. Increasing your practice schedule will allow you more time to practice all of the various techniques such as  scales, chords, and arpeggios that you will be learning on the guitar.</p>
<p>3.  Practice in modules:  Now that you&#8217;ve decided to increase your practice times; you will want to make sure that you stay focused during these times practice. It can be very easy to get distracted, or play what you have already learned in the past. The secret to staying focused is to practice in module units. Module units are mini 10 minute learning periods of time. For example, during a one hour practice session you&#8217;ll warm-up for 10 minutes, practice chords for 10 minutes, scales for another 10, arpeggios for another 10, a new song for 10 more minutes, and end off with some sight reading practice.  Remember, if you&#8217;re serious about learning how to master and learn guitar your modular practice times are not the time to play whatever you want to.  Save playtime on your instrument as a reward for your hours worth of practice.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There&#8217;s something very appealing about learning how to play guitar. If you&#8217;ve ever desired to play, you&#8217;re not the only one. Millions of others have considered learning before you and there&#8217;s sure to be millions more who will want to in the future. Maybe, it&#8217;s because the guitar is a crucial part of every song. It might be the fact that almost every band leader knows how to play it. Also, it&#8217;s fun to watch those rock stars on TV play their 3-minute songs. Boy, they sure make playing the guitar seem easy. But there&#8217;s surely one thing you&#8217;ll never see, the thousands of hours they&#8217;ve put into beginning guitar lessons.</p>
<p>If you ever consider learning how to play the guitar you better be prepared for some real hard work. This is not an instrument that you can just pick up and learn to play in less than a week. You&#8217;ll have to work hard and you&#8217;re bound to make lots of mistakes. There is no substitute for hard work. You just can&#8217;t wave a magic wand or have a computer chip planted into your brain that will enable you to play like a pro. So if you are the type of person that quits anytime something becomes difficult, you shouldn&#8217;t even attempt to teach yourself to play guitar. You&#8217;ll only be wasting your time and money.</p>
<p>Learning how to play guitar also takes time and patience. You&#8217;ll have to put a massive amount of weeks, months, or maybe even years of long days of practice. You&#8217;ll need to learn how to tune your guitar, playing various chords, and once you learn to play simple songs you can move onto more advanced techniques. Again, expect to make a massive number of mistakes. There will even be days when you become so agitated that you&#8217;ll feel like smashing your guitar against the wall. In times like these you&#8217;ll feel like quitting. Just think what would happen if your favorite star gave up on learning how to play the guitar? Would they even be a star today? Most likely not! Still, if you realize the amount of hard work required and are willing to venture this rough road, then learning how to play guitar may definitely for you.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re absolutely serious about playing guitar you may want to consider guitar lessons for beginners online. Most of these sites cover everything involved with learning how to play. Some sites may be free, but the better teaching sites charge for their service and material. Still, the amount you&#8217;ll pay for any of these sites will be far less than regular lessons from a personal trainer. Better yet, learning from an online course allows you to do so without leaving home.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did you always dream of being a rock or country musician, playing in a band for recreational activity, in church, or simply for your own accomplishment? We all had posters of our favorite bands on our wall when we were young.</p>
<p>How many songs did you play the air guitar to and dreamed of playing guitar in front of an audience of thousands of people?</p>
<p>To accomplish this, of course, you have to learn how to play the instrument but there was always an issue with why you couldn&#8217;t. Did you feel you did not have enough money, time, or the access to learn this skill? This skill is easy to learn with the web-based site Jamorama by Bennie Edwards.</p>
<p>This course is a six step process and as a bonus you get thirty (30) free days access to SONG POND which is a site where you can apply the skills you have learned in playing with some of the most famous bands such as Jimmie Hendrix, Coldplay, and other bands.</p>
<p>Do not pay a lot of money for guitar lessons to a private instructor. This would cost you $500 to $1,000.00 per year. You can go from beginner to pro at your own pace. This website is a step by step course and very user friendly. You will learn lifelong skills that will enable you to be that next great guitarist and will be amazed at how easy this website is.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Learning guitar is not that difficult - in my opinion, what you need the most is desire and interest in music. The rest usually takes care of itself. However, there are ways to speed up your learning curve 10&#8217;s of times. I&#8217;ll share with you what I think is the best method to learn guitar - just read on.</p>
<p>Learning electric guitar is slightly easier - it requires less pressure of your fingers to fret a note, as the strings are closer to the fingerboard. It also requires less powerful strumming and plucking. But generally speaking, there&#8217;s very little difference - usually if you can play an electric, you can also play an acoustic guitar.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s the best way to learn guitar?</p>
<p>There are basically tree ways - you can learn it all by yourself, you can go to a guitar coach, or you can get some king of program and follow it. In my opinion the last option is the best. I&#8217;ll tell you why. I learned all by myself. It took me lots of time. Back in the day there were not these awesome online programs, which you can get for 50$ and after a few days be able to play. Going to a guitar coach costs lots of money - and time. You&#8217;ll have to wait a long time before he ever teaches you how to play a simple song.</p>
<p>The learning curve involves a few processes - first you get used to right and left hand coordination and finger movement. Then you learn to move your fingers faster and develop the skin on your fretting hand, so that you can easily fret a note. All of this happens automatically as you practice more and more. It&#8217;s not as difficult as it sounds.</p>
<p>Learning the guitar does not require some sort of special talent - anyone can do it if they put in the time. It&#8217;s a skill like any other.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When people ask me whether it&#8217;s possible to teach yourself the guitar, my answer really depends on the mood I&#8217;m in. Being a self-taught guitarist, my honest answer is always yes, since I taught myself the guitar without any instructors guiding me. However, back in the day when I was learning, teaching yourself the guitar wasn&#8217;t as easy as it is today. I learned from books and from VHS instructional videos, and it took way too long, as the information available wasn&#8217;t as abundant as it is today in the world of the Internet.</p>
<p>Nowadays, if you decide you want to teach yourself the guitar (or anything else for that matter), what do you do? Google it! You&#8217;ll find an overwhelming amount of information, articles, videos and learn guitar products. In fact, you&#8217;ll find so much, it will become burdening, as you&#8217;ll end up jumping from one place to another without sticking with one program consistently. There is a lot of information and products out there, and to tell you the truth, some of them are pretty good. Of course, you&#8217;ll need to beware the scam offers, where the tag line reads &#8220;Teach Yourself the Guitar Overnight&#8221;. That is NOT possible, never was, never will be.</p>
<p>But if you do find the right website and stick with a learning program that you find motivating and fun, you&#8217;ll definitely be able to teach yourself the guitar. It takes work, but it&#8217;s more than worth it in the end.</p>
<p>Most guitar teachers will agree, that the best way to keep a student motivated, is to start playing real songs right from the beginning. Playing simple songs is possible from virtually day 1, and it gives a tremendous confidence boost to the student.</p>
<p>Following the below &#8220;path&#8221; will surely get you results, just know that practice is key:</p>
<ul>
Learn basic guitar techniques<br />
Practice by playing songs using those techniques<br />
Learn chords<br />
Practice chords by playing songs<br />
Learn more techniques<br />
Practice these techniques by playing more songs<br />
Play your guitar at least 30 minutes per day, or until your fingers hurt so much that you can&#8217;t hold the strings anymore, whichever comes first <img src='http://www.geekdaily.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </ul>
<p>Practicing any given technique in the context of a song, a song that is popular and will cause the student joy when playing, will motive the student to practice the technique. And as we know, practice something enough, and you&#8217;ll be able to do it soon, guaranteed. Know that the old saying, &#8220;Practice makes perfect&#8221; is especially true when learning the guitar, both acoustic and electric.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you learn how to play guitar you can very easily sing songs in the same time. That&#8217;s why many lead singers are also guitar players.</p>
<p>You can play your own songs or some classics but keep in mind that if you&#8217;re planning to become a professional you should practice a lot.</p>
<p>It might look very easy but in fact it&#8217;s not. Many beginners cannot play the guitar and sing a song in the same time. It&#8217;s quite difficult but in time you&#8217;ll manage to do it without any problems.</p>
<p>Playing guitar requires commitment, practice and dedication especially if you want to sing a song simultaneously. If you choose the right song you can do it. Simple songs are usually the best way to go.</p>
<p>In order to succeed you must listen the song very carefully at least two or three times. Once you&#8217;ve memorized it you can try to play it very slowly. At first it might be best if you sing and play stanza by stanza.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t worry; many people don&#8217;t get it right on the first try. You should learn from your mistakes.</p>
<p>If you think that you can learn how to play the guitar in 15 minutes then you&#8217;re wrong. Learning how to play guitar requires time, dedication and passion.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why any beginner must not expect to sound great all the time because that&#8217;s impossible. The mistakes are part of the learning process and it&#8217;s very important that you learn from them.</p>
<p>Every professional guitar player had his share of mistakes. You shouldn&#8217;t be discouraged and under any circumstances you shouldn&#8217;t quit.</p>
<p>If you want to learn to play the guitar by yourself then you should know that there are plenty journals, books and magazines available that will help you along the way.</p>
<p>They will show you all the procedures and if you follow everything correctly then you&#8217;ll become a great player.</p>
<p>The Internet is also an important resource of information because here you can find various online tutorials that will help you learn how to play the guitar.</p>
<p>If you force yourself to play the guitar you won&#8217;t be able to learn anything.</p>
<p>If you feel like your hands might need some rest then go take a rest. If you are stressed or nervous then try some other time, maybe the next day when you feel more calm and relaxed.</p>
<p>In time you&#8217;ll understand that learning how to play guitar is a continuous process. There will always be new techniques to practice and new tricks to use.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Being able to play the guitar is a great skill you can learn and one of the most enjoyable to learn as well. If you love music, the guitar is one instrument that you can easily learn, not just for playing your favorite songs, but also a great way to compose music. However, if you want to learn and master the guitar, playing by ear is also one of the great skills you can learn.</p>
<p>When you know how to play by ear, you can play songs easily even without having any tabs or any sort of guide. You may think people who can do it have that gifted ear for music but you can actually learn this skill and be able to enjoy more music, especially playing just any song you want. Playing with other musicians can also be easy if you know how to play by ear.</p>
<p>To learn and master the guitar by playing by ear, some musicians would actually find the piano another good instrument that can help you train your ear to listen and identify melodies before trying it out with your guitar, probably because you can play the notes on the piano much simpler than the guitar, and you can play it even without having any piano lessons.</p>
<p>It is important that if you want to learn to play by ear, you have at least known the basics of guitar playing. Of course, it would not be wise to still be familiarizing the basics and wanting to play by ear. It would be a lot easier to tackle them separately and start with the basics.</p>
<p>To be able to learn and master the guitar by playing it by ear, you have to learn to develop your listening skills as well. Obviously, this will be the first thing that you need to pay attention to. Practice listening to music by focusing your full attention to it. Like reading a book, you must be able to feel the sound and the melodies of a song and learn to listen to the instruments, the different parts of the song and everything about it.</p>
<p>You also have to learn to play a major scale pattern if you want to learn playing by ear fast. Although you can actually play by ear even without it, it would be a great help if you to be able to learn playing y ear quickly. It will also help if you start to practice with a familiar melody. Some experts on playing by ear would often recommend practicing with common songs that you could play in your head. This will help you play the notes as you play the song in your head. You may also sing along to help guide you through the melody of the song.</p>
<p>It is important too that in order to learn and master the guitar and play it by ear, you have to commit yourself to regular practice, every day. Your commitment and desire to learn is one important factor in mastering the guitar and playing your favorite songs by ear.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Would you like to power your home with free natural resources like solar and wind? Would you like to reduce electricity bills and would you want to go the green way reducing global warming? If your answer to all those questions is yes, then you are in for the right stuff.</p>
<p>It is indeed possible to generate electricity at home. Solar power is one such solution. The energy from the sun is abundant and best of all it is free. The only costs incurred are installation and manufacturing of solar panels. Unlike a few years ago, when solar panels used to costs thousands of dollars you can now build one in your backyard for just about $200. Further more it is relatively easy and fun to put together a solar power system at home.</p>
<p>So are you ready to get started? All you need is a good instruction manual accompanied with audio and video instructions and within no time you will power your home with solar energy. It is not as difficult as you may think it is. Yes, there are few hardware items that you will need to have before you can get started but these are easily available at your local hardware store. Once you have everything ready all you need is some free time and a little determination to get the project going.</p>
<p>The satisfaction you derive from generating electricity from solar power is simply an amazing feeling. Even if the unit is fairly small and does not generate as much electricity to power your entire home it will still help reduce electricity bills.</p>
<p>In the future it will always make sense to power your home with alternate sources of energy like solar power and wind. The question is when will you make the change?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the average homeowner paying upwards of $1200 a year on electricity wouldn&#8217;t it be nice if it were possible to cut that amount in half or maybe even more? Energy cost are only going up and up and wages don&#8217;t seem to be compensating for the increase, so what&#8217;s the solution?</p>
<p>Many people are starting to look for alternative energy sources like Solar, to see if they can save some money, and help the environment while they are at it. This is starting to catch on and it seems that every Tom, Dick and Mary is putting out solar power system tutorials to see if they can&#8217;t capitalize on it. What I would like to do in this article is try and give you a heads up on what to look for when searching to find a good solar power tutorial.</p>
<p>Legit Testimonials - Almost every tutorial that you look for online will give you glowing customer testimonials to prove that their product will work for you. One thing that you can look for to make sure the testimonial is legit is a website address after the testimonial that will take you to that customers web page where you can contact him/her for a more detailed testimonial.</p>
<p>Another thing that you can look for is e-mail testimonials or video testimonials which are much harder to fake. You may also want to type in the name of the tutorial that you are researching into Google followed by the word &#8220;forum&#8221; (without the quotes) to see what people in the forums are saying about that particular tutorial. It&#8217;s usually easier to tell if someone is being truthful here or if they are just trying to make a sale.</p>
<p>Step by Step - Some of the tutorials that you will find online are nothing more than a copy and paste from a legit solar power tutorial with a few words changed to make it their own. They will usually add a bunch of filler material which will tell you nothing about how to build your own solar panels and will leave you hanging on knowing what to do next.</p>
<p>Look for something that will take you by the hand step by step on exactly what you need to do to make your first Solar Power system. A tutorial that will provide video and 1 on 1 support is something that you should also consider as there is sure to be questions that you are going to need answered.</p>
