Review: Disk Drill Data Recovery

Have you ever accidentally formatted an external hard drive that held your precious pictures from amazing vacation with your family. Well, if you haven’t I know I have! When this happens the first thing that goes through your head is “How will I get my pictures back?”  Well here is one solution, Disk Drill by Clever Flies. This is a unique media recovery application because it gives the option to actually protect your device. sydney sweeney flag Another nice feature is the option to make a “Deep Scan” of your device, which is a much more complete scan of your device. When I ran this scan on my 8 gb. flash drive, it was able to find picture, music, and documents that had to have been on there quite a few months ago. The other option is to run a quick scan, which will most likely find anything that was last deleted on the device. “Deep Scans” will take much longer than a quick scan, but if the data you are trying to recover is very important to you, then I would suggest using a “Deep scan.”  When I was testing Disk Drill, it worked perfectly every time.

Quick Tip: Want to find out which applications are downloading?

Most of the time when I go and get all my updates from the App Store, I just click download all, but once I do this, they all disappear from the App Store update section.  So if you want to find out which of your applications are downloading check out this tip.  The best way to find out which ones haven’t started downloading, but are waiting to download, just type in the spotlight search “Waiting”(without the quotes).  You should end up seeing something similar to this:

If you want to find which application specifically is downloading, just type in “Loading”(Again, without the quotes).  You should see a screen like this(If you want to find out why this occurs keep reading after the break):

This occurs, because when an application begins to download from the App Store it changes the name briefly to show you which are downloading or waiting, and in case the App Developer has decided on a name change, it wants to be able to change the name in a way that doesn’t seem sporadic, so you will be able to find your app after is upgrades.

iOS 4.1 Breakdown

If you have not heard yet, a new update is coming to an iPhone or iPod touch near you!  You can expect this update next week, but I am expecting it early( as early as tuesday of next week).  But I digress now let’s get down to business and tear this update apart and see what’s new and see my favorites of this update.

HDR Photography

Be a photographer myself I was already familiar with HDR photos, or High Dynamic Range photos.  This is a cool feature that helps to “pop” those small features out in your photos.  It works by taking three pictures at the same time, but here is where it getting interesting.  It over exposes one, under exposes one, and the last is taken at normal exposure.  These are all then combined together, and then bam, you have an HDR photo.  I think this is definitely gonna be a cool feature I am going to be using a lot.

Game Center

Have you ever been playing a game on your iPhone and thought, I really want to play my friend right now.  Well no longer will you have to think that anymore.  You will be able to challenge your friends in any game that develops allow support for game center in.  But not only is game center only going to allow you to challenge friends, but you will be able to post high scores and compete with friends in scores as well.  One game already known to support game center will be Angry Birds.

Bug Fixes

There are also going to be some bug fixes to clean everything up.  One big one is going to be the proximity sensor fix.  It has been sorta annoying when I accidentally put my phone on speaker phone when my proximity sensor decides it doesn’t want to work.  There will also be some other minor bug fixes to fix up any other known problems at this time.

Wrap-Up

I am excited for this update, especially game center.  I guess Nick and I will finally be able to find out who is the real champion at Angry Birds now!
