One little pet peeve of mine about smart phone is the glare on the glass screen. All of the iPhones and Nexus-series phone I own have matte/anti-glare screen protector installed. With the iPhones, I recommend getting Power Support brand. When I got a Nexus 4, I looked into several different brands of screen protectors. I decided to try one out, GreatShield Matte Screen Protector.
It comes in a 3-pack for under $10 at Amazon.com.
It took me about 5 minutes to apply the screen protector with no noticeable dust bubbles, and it took me only one try. I have been applying screen protectors on numerous iPhones, iPad and other smart phones for the past 5 years. I can’t do it with my eyes closed though.
The current revision of GreatShield Matte Screen Protector has the necessary cutout for the front-facing camera and the proximity sensor. During the course of my research, different brands of screen protector for Nexus 4 do not have the said cutout.
One thing that you should know that GreatShield Matte Screen Protector size. While it fully covers the screen area, it is smaller than the glass-face of Nexus 4. It leaves 2 mm on the sides and bottom and 1 mm on the top. The gaps prevent the film from bubbling due to friction from certain Nexus 4 cases. The case I have on this Nexus 4 certainly does not fall in that category.
A few days in, I am pretty satisfied with GreatShield Matte Screen Protector. In case anyone wants to know, it is a Rearth Ringke SLIM Case one the Nexus 4. I’ll post more details about it on a different post.

About Ad Tracking
Ad Tracking
iOS 6 introduces the advertising Identifier, a non-permanent, non-personal, device identifier, that apps will give you more control over advertisers’ ability to use tracking methods. you can reset a device’s Advertising Identifier at any time. And if you choose to limit ad tracking, apps are not permitted to use the Advertising Identifier to serve you targeted ads. In the future all apps will be required to use the Advertising Identifier. However, until then you may still receive targeted ads.
It has been one week since Amazon Kindle Fire arrived and there are a lot of things to say about it.
Let’s start with the good things.
Here comes the bad things:
There a re still a lot to say about Kindle Fire. Amazon can easily fix a lot of the issues through software updates.
I picked up a Griffin Technology Stylus for iPad because it was on sale at a local electronic store. I wonder if stylus like this would work great with iPad. It all depends on the Apps, sometimes the stylus works great and sometimes it doesn’t.
It does work with most capacitive touch screen.
I get to play with an HP TouchPad over the weekend. It is fairly thick compared to any iPad. WebOS UI offers a different experience than iOS and Android.
One thing that really bugged me is the fact the TouchPad has a 2 second delay for the screen to rotate half a π (90º). I hope this would get fixedin the upcoming updates.
I had the pleasure installing Corsair H60 High-Performance Hydro CPU-Cooler on one of the Core i7 machine a few days ago. The performance is pretty impressive, the temperature of the Intel Core i7 950 is at between 24 to 41 degree Celsius. Definitely recommend this CPU Cooling system if you’re willing to shell out roughly $90.
