A rumor is claiming that LG is working with Google to create another Nexus phone. The Korean manufacturer launched the current Nexus 4 approximately five months ago.

According to The Korea Times Google and LG are teaming up again for the Nexus program. For those of you less familiar with it, Nexus is a program under which different OEMs launch devices under this brand name. These are flagship devices that run stock Android and they represent the way Google wants an Android phone to look and feel. Nexus devices are also kept up to date via OTA updates directly from Google, and as such they are the preferred brand for techies and Android enthusiasts. 

The Nexus 4, previously launched by LG got received responses from reviews and the market. On the one hand it is a high quality device that goes for as low as $350, at least in the US. On the other hand the phone is not equipped with LTE and there have been numerous supply issues from both Google and LG.

The original article doesn’t go into any details of what a new Nexus phone might look like, and the earliest official indication we’re likely to get will be around Google I/O in a couple of weeks.

Sometimes the purchasing for an app is totally a mistake or the app can’t work as described. Can you get a refund from the App Store? Yes! Here’s how:

(Remember, this isn’t an official refund policy for the App Store because the iTunes Store Terms and Conditions specifically states: All sales and rentals of products are final.)

Step 1: Open up Your Account in iTunes

Locate the email receipt for your iTunes Store purchase.

Step 2: Check Your Purchase History

Once you’re logged in, click ‘See All>’ under Purchase History.

Step 3: Report a Problem

Scroll down until you see the big button that says ‘Report a Problem’. Click that big button.

Step 4: Select the App

Find the app you want a refund for and select ‘Report a Problem’.

Step 5: Explain

Choose the problem you’re having and write a detailed reason why you think you should get a refund for the app.

You can expect a response from Apple in the next 24-48 hours. If the support rep is satisfied with your reasoning, he’ll probably reverse the charges.

Both shareware and freeware are terms that are used to describe software that can be downloaded from the Internet. The basic difference between shareware and freeware stems from whether the person downloading the software must pay for it at some time. Freeware is just that, free software, while shareware means that payment will eventually be necessary.

When someone downloads freeware, they are often getting software without paying for it. With some freeware downloads, there is an optional charge. This charge may be in the form of a donation or to upgrade the freeware to the full version of the program. While this software is free, it is still subject to license terms and conditions to protect the intellectual rights of the software developers.

Eg: freeware VLC Media player

This program is a multimedia player that could play nearly all your media files including audio, video, DVD, VCD for free. People can free download and install the program on computer.

Shareware is software that is provided for a free trial before the user must pay for it. This allows users to try software before committing to the purchase price. Usually, the free trial is for a specific amount of time and there is no obligation to buy the software when that time is up. Shareware software products can also have some features limited, similar to freeware.

Eg: shareware Aissesoft DVD to iPad Converter

This program is used to convert all your DVD movies to Apple devices like iPad, iPhone, iPod, Apple TV for enjoyment. It allows people to use its trial version before purchasing. The limitation is that you can only convert 5 minutes of each video.

Many different limitations can be placed on shareware and freeware files. Some of the most common include watermarks on images, advertising throughout the program, screens reminding you to purchase the full program, time trials and limits on saving.

You buy a program, and certainly you should receive the license to activate it. But the bad thing occurs, it shows that the license is invalid. Go mad? Before losing your temper, you can check the problem first by yourself. There are three possibilities for not activating the program successfully:

1. Your user name contains punctuation, symbols or special characters.
For example, the character Ÿ, the symbol $, or the punctuation ’, will not be recognized by some programs. Some French, Greek, Italian, German, Dutch, Japanese, Chinese or Spanish characters will not be accepted by the program.
If your license code is invalid due this reason, you should contact the software vendor for a new code with the user name in English characters as you prefer.

2. Blank spaces are accidentally added.
For most software, the license information is case-sensitive. You should not enter any extra blank space to the license name or code. It is suggested you to copy and paste the registration name and code to the form directly.

3. The license does not match the program.
It happens that you mistakenly put other software’s registration name and code to the program you used. Some programs are different but may have similar names, for example video converter professional/ultimate, you should match the license with the very program you purchased.

Note: some upgrading of the program may cause the license invalid problem as well. To avoid it, read software introduction and details carefully before placing the order. Software listed on M2Mate website all support lifetime updating without paying extra cent. If you are looking for such software on multimedia field, you can go there to have a look.

best five movie players for PC

I believe that everybody at least has a media player on computer. Media player software is for playing media files on PC. Different media player may have differnt performance on playing movies on your computer. This is to introduce 5 best movie players for watching movie files or DVD movies on PC:

  • 1. PotPlayer
  • PotPlayer is an intuitive and a powerful Multimedia player published by Daum written by the same author as The KMPlayer. It’s feature packed and provides awesome video and audio quality. It is better for people who love making advanced settings. However, if you met some problems when using this program, you would feel trouble because PotPlayer doesn’t have English support.
  • 2.FreeSmith Video Player
  • FreeSmith Video Player is a new released media player which supports almost all popular audio & video formats, DVD and even Blu-ray. With light size but quite powerful features, it plays movies on your computer smoothly with all necessary codec packed. User-friendly and beautiful interface is highlighted. People who love easy operation and convenience can choose this media player.
  • 3.VLC Media Player
  • VLC Media player is known for the ability to work on multiple platforms, media converter and streaming capabilities, excellent playback quality and stability, plays Internet radio and TV, great choice for DVD playback, GPU and DSP decoding, support for extensions. It is an open-source media player software and used by many people. But the interface of the program is not as good as many other meida players such as FreeSmith Video Player and PotPlayer mentioned above.
  • 4.Media Player Classic
  • Very fast and lightest, no installation required, extremely easy to use, 64 bit versions available. Like its predecessor, it is an incredibly small program but has a vast feature set. If you don’t want to use windows media player, but still want to try windows product, you can take media player classic.
  • 5.GOM Player
  • Available only for Windows (98Se through Vista), it also will play most media files, including flv files with its own internal codecs. If, however, you come across a file it cannot play, it will direct you to the appropriate open-source codec to install. It is a bad choice for those people who like to use a totally clean media player. 

As I mentioned above, the five movie players have good performance on playing  movies or videos. Although each movie player has its disadvantage, you can simply choose to ignore it if only you don’t care much about that factor. So, at last, you may choose any one from the 5 best movie players to play your movies on PC and enjoy them.
