Everything Channukah - חנוכה Updated

Posted by Unknown Kamis, 06 Desember 2012 0 komentar



Channkuah Stuff (Updated for 5774)

In the spirit of this Yom Tov, we've decided to review a few apps (even if some are of dubious value) to help you decide what's worth installing.  Most of these apps were tested on Android 2.3.4 and  ICS (Android 4.04) and Jelly Bean (4.1.2)  phone/tablet platforms. Check back once Channukah starts as some apps will get updates and newer apps may hit the Play store.

Menorah - Chanukah - חנוכה (v. 1.03) by RustyBrick


Type: Application
Cost: Free

Overview: Shows which candle to light tonight, how to light them and which blessings to say

+Regardless of what the user reviews say, this app does show the candles being lit correctly.
+Appropriately omits the third blessing (She'hecheyanu) after the first night.
+Automatically tells you which night it is (with midnight as the threshold, which should avoid most confusion).
+Blessings and songs sung beautifully to help teach the uninitiated.
+Gives one the choice of blessings in Hebrew (no vowels), English or transliterated into English.  +ICS friendly

-Audio plays blessings in the Sefardi Nusach, but they are written (transliterated) as Ashkenaz, which is inconsistent. 

Verdict: Very good Channukah app.

Hanukkah Live Wallpaper Free (v. 1.1.1) by CCW

Type: Live Wallpaper
Cost: Free

Overview: A busy wallpaper that has a winter theme with an unlit menorah outside.
+ICS/Jelly Bean friendly

-Seems to take up an inordinate amount of RAM while running.
-Requires paid version to "light the candles after sunset".
-Requires paid version to modify settings.

___________________________

Droidel (v. 2.0.1) by Triuna Software

Type: Application (Game)
Cost: Free

Overview: A very well-designed dreidel app that allows two people to play a real game of dreidel.
+Has the "feel" of spinning a real dreidel.
+Tells you what night of channukah it is (or how many remaining nights until channukah).
+Actually keeps track of the "Gelt" won or lost between two players; who's turn it is; and the amount in  the pot.
+Number of players can be changed from 2-4.
+Music, amounts, currency, and custom player names all changeable in settings.
+Can set dreidel for Israel or diaspora (one letter is different).
+After mid-night the menorah on the intro screen switches to say "X DAY of channukah" instead of night.  At the next evening it will display the next "night" of channukah to avoid confusion.
+Works well on ICS
+Author responsive to suggestions.

Verdict: So far, the the best reviewed channukah game app.

Dreidel - סביבון (v. 1.0) by Androcalc

Type: Application (Game)
Cost: Free (Ad supported)

Overview: A so-so dreidel game with some add-ons designed for Hebrew speaking Israelis. 

+Easy to spin colorful dreidel
+Option for Hebrew only or Hebrew with English labels for the four positions.
+Has blessings, songs, and recipes
+Jelly Bean friendly

-Designed only for use in Israel -- Dreidel is set up with Israeli letters.
-Entire app is in Hebrew except as noted above.  
-Does not really keep score -- instead it totals how many times one landed on each letter.  
-Doesn't "feel" like a real dreidel

___________________________


Dreidel (v. 2.0.1) by Octagon Software LLC

Type: Application (Game)
Cost: $.99

Overview: An older game that is not compatible with newer phones

-Does not play well with newer versions of Android


Verdict: Don't waste your money

___________________________


Hanukkah Dreidel FREE  (v. 2.0) by Aviv Heilweil

Type: Application (Game)
Cost: Free (Ad supported)

Overview: A simple app that allows one to quickly flip in either directly to land on a different letter. 

+Works smoothly on both old and new devices.
+ICS friendly

-Requires Adobe AIR to work. Adobe AIR is Adobe's replacement for FLASH on Android.  If you have it already, fine.  But to install this platform just for a dreidel game is a bit much.
-Doesn't "feel" like a real dreidel

___________________________

Hanukkah candle drop game (v. 1.3) by TomatoTimes

Type: Application (Game)
Cost: Free (Ad supported)

Overview: A touch game whereby one must put the candles into the menorah in the correct order.



-Does not work properly on ICS (Android 4.04)
-Rather silly game.

Verdict: The backwards dreidel on their logo picture says it all.
___________________________

BayNCSY Chanukah App (v. 1.4) by BayNCSY

Type: Application 
Cost: Free 

Overview: A simple app that tells you which blessings to say on each night of channukah..

+ICS friendly

-While explained in English, it is Hebrew only (no vowels)
-No built-in intelligence to know which night of channukah it is.  The user must select this manually.

Verdict: Of dubious usefulness.  The only difference between the first night and all of the others is the lack of she'hecheyanu, and the "Menorah - Chanukah - חנוכה" app (reviewed above) not only does that already, but has the intelligence to know which night of channukah it is.

Hanukkah Wallpaper (v. 2.0) by Crazyprofile

Type: Static Wallpaper
Cost: Free 

Overview: A selection of static (not live) wallpaper images of menorahs and other channukah related themes


-Pictures look good when choosing, but after selected, background image does not scale properly to screen resolution of phones.  Tried this on two difference phone devices running two difference versions of Android and both were too "zoomed in" to see the image intended.  
-Retested v. 2.0 11/17/13 - Tested and have the same problem.  App simply shows a number of pictures.  If you "save" a picture, it shows up in your gallery downloads.  Then when selecting it as a wallpaper, you have to choose only a portion of the picture.  These pics were not optimized for wallpaper use.  


Verdict: Unnecessary to make this an app.  There could just be images available for download. However the algorithm is set to create wallpaper, it's not working correctly, at least on both phone devices tested.  (Not yet tested on a tablet.)

Hanukkah Holiday Live Wallpap (v. 3.0) by dbkoren

Type: Live Wallpaper
Cost: Free


Overview: A live wallpaper that shows the current night of channukah by lighting the appropriate number of candles
+ICS friendly
+Pretty image

-Shows the candles backwards.
-Changes the candles at a set time (5 PM) regardless of locale.
-Could not download on Jelly Bean device
Verdict: Now a free app, still 
___________________________

Menorah live wallpaper (v. 1.2) by Uprising Studios LLC

Type: Live Wallpaper
Cost: $0.99


Overview: A live wallpaper that allows one to touch an select which candles to light.
+ICS friendly
+Pretty image
+Allows a few choices of background including black

-No built-in intelligence to figure out which night is chanukah.
-Flames are shifted slightly from the candle.

Verdict: Pretty wallpaper if you get past the flame being slightly off.
___________________________


NCSY iLight (v. 1.4) by NCSY

Type: Application
Cost: Free


Overview: An App that acts as a source for all things channukah.

+ICS friendly
+Links to instructual and entertaining videos, how-tos, blessings, etc. for each night of channukah.
+Great historical background to the holiday
+Includes not only Hebrew (no vowels), but English and English transliteration.  Even videos demonstrating the lighting with voice-overs of brochos (blessings).

-Less of a true app and more of a source linking to various websites and YouTube videos
-No built-in intelligence for which night of channukah it is.  
-A bit redundant re-iterating all of the instructions for each night of channukah when nights 2-8 don't have true procedural differences.  


Verdict: Very good app for learning about channukah 
___________________________





Hanukkah Live Wallpaper (v. 1.0) by Carla Animations Studio

Type: Wallpaper (Live)
Cost: Free


Overview: A live wallpaper with prety picture of burning candles and sparking tops at the base of the menorah.  

+ICS friendly


-Does not work on older (2.x ) and newer (4.1+/Jelly Bean) version of Android.  Could only get it to work on our ICS device.  
-Has screen size issues.  Cannot see whole menorah at once.  


Verdict: Not worth installing until improvements are made

Now, some mobile phone take pictures even better than the professional cameras, such as samsung galaxy. Samsung Galaxy Camera, the second camera in the world powered by Android. For those unfamiliar with the Galaxy Camera, Samsung has essentially taken the Android interface off a smartphone and applied it to a conventional digital camera -- the trade-off for making phone calls in this device is high-resolution photos and videos with quality editing tools and special effects, as well as easy sharing options directly from the camera itself.

The Samsung Galaxy Camera runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean right out of the box, and with a Google search bar with enhanced voice search built-in, users can access the full Google Play market and download Android apps that can take advantage of the device's camera beyond the bounds of what today's smartphones can accomplish.With a 4.8-inch HD Super Clear Touch Display, a 16-megapixel CMOS sensor and a 21x zoom lens, the Samsung Galaxy Camera is built for consumers that want to shoot and share high-quality photos with impressive effects. Users can capture slow motion video as it's happening at an eye-popping 120 frames per second, and can use specialized effects built for action (movement), light and water effects.

The Samsung Galaxy Camera takes advantage of 3G and Wi-Fi networks for seamless Internet connectivity and automatic back-up to the cloud, which opens up plenty of space on the camera itself and doubly ensures that you never lose a photo. However, if you have not backup before, and unluckily you deleted the precious photos by mistake, what can you do to retrieve deleted pictures on samsung galaxy?

Well, take it easy. Whenever a "delete" is completed, merely the spot how the file occupies is marked as empty and might use again by new data, still the deleted file might be there till new data overwrites it.

ACT NOW: DON'T LET COPYRIGHT HOLDERS STEAL OUR PROPERTY RIGHTS!

Posted by Unknown Rabu, 24 Oktober 2012 0 komentar



[I'm sure DemandProgress.org won't complain about me cutting and pasting their content - I don't think they'll file a copyright claim on this! Please pay attention as Hollywood, The RIAA, Publishing companies, and manufacturers push to strip us of our right to sell what is ours.]


Next week, the U.S. Supreme Court will decide whether you have the right to sell your stuff on eBay. Do you really own the smartphone or computer you’re using to read this? If you sold your books, would you be breaking the law? A federal court in New York says you would be, even if you legally paid for and bought them.
It's unbelievable, but trademark and copyright holders are trying to use a legal loophole to take away your right to sell things that you own. The mainstream media is starting to catch on, with the Wall Street Journal just running an article headlined, "YOUR RIGHT TO RESELL YOUR OWN STUFF IS IN PERIL". Please add your name at right to fight back.
Public interest advocates are taking the case all the way to the Supreme Court, and Demand Progress is joining up with a coalition of groups -- including many of those that came together to kill SOPA -- to support the rights of ordinary Internet users and everyday consumers.
Once again, big entertainment company lobbyists are fighting us in the courts to ensure their profits are given higher priority than consumer rights. But this time the MPAA and RIAA have the Obama administration on their side --they've all filed legal briefs asking the Supreme Court to restrict our right to resell the things we own..
We only have a few weeks to make our voices heard before the Supreme Court makes a lasting ruling. We are working to defend a long-standing principle known as the "First-Sale Doctrine." This common-sense rule gives us the right to sell most property we own, but big businesses have been trying to chip away at out our rights in the courts. If the Supreme Court supports the lower court’s decision, we won't really “own” anything if any part of it was made in a different country. And practically anything you own -- from your iPod to your house -- could have been made abroad, in whole or in part.
If we lose this fight, practically anybody who wants to resell products they bought -- from Macbooks and iPhones to our clothing and textbooks -- will have to ask copyright holders for permission first. And they'll have the right to deny it!
It's bad for so many reasons: It'll undermine Craigslist and Ebay, hurt the environment, increase incentives for manufacturers to move jobs off-shore, and effectively ban the traditional American yard sale. For more info, please check out Marvin Ammori's article about the lawsuit.
