OS X El Capitan Feature Summary

Apple has confirmed that the new version of OS X will build on the strengths of Yosemite with "real refinements". What that really means is that with this release Apple is focusing on performance and introducing only a handful of new features. That’s not to say that there are no new features for Mac users to enjoy. The following tweaks are included:

1. To the interface, 
2. New full-screen views, 
3. Changes to the way you arrange all the windows on your desktop, 
4. A smarter Spotlight that can recognize natural language
5. Several changes to the Mail, Safari, Notes and Photos apps.

Perhaps the favourite new feature might just be the new way to find your cursor – just shake your mouse, or wiggle your finger on the trackpad, as we all do, but doing so will now make the cursor grow in size momentarily.

The performance improvements will mean that your Mac should feel faster, for example, opening your first email message will be two times faster, according to Apple, and PDFs will open four times faster. That’s a very quick summary of what to expect from OS X El Capitan. In this article we will look more closely at all of the new features and also how you can get hold of the beta of El Capitan now.

Secret Codes For iPhone

Like any other gadget the iPhone has its own 'secret' codes. These short codes will either uncover hidden menus or act as direct commands. They provide additional information about your device and and may tweak current settings. If you are savvy with gadgets and have developed no need to call the center for help every now and then here are some codes that will really help.

1. Your Mobile Device Number | Code:*123#

This code will display your the device currently working mobile number
*101# If you are in Zambia this code will notify you mobile number registration status in compliance with regulatory body ZICTA

2. IMEI Number | Code: *#06#
International Mobile Equipment Identity number is a 15-digit code that uniquely identifies your iPhone within GSM, UTMS and all other mobile phone networks. It’s always printed on your iPhone’s original delivery box and is required in the unfortunate case that your iOS device is lost or stolen. IMEI is required when filing a complaint to the police or any other related issue to the network provider. This identification number can be also found in Settings -> General -> About.

3. Field Test | Code: *3001#12345#* + ‘Call’

By accessing the hidden iPhone field test mode you’re able to find out live updated information about your cell phone network. You can uncover the numerical value of your cell phone signal and read data about surrounding cell towers. If you tap on the numerical valued carrier signal, available in the top left corner of your screen, you can switch between graphic and numerical display. Numerical values are always negative. Figures around ‘-50′ are for optimal reception while those towards ‘-120′ are considered very poor.

4. Call Waiting | Status: *#43#| Enable: *43# | Disable: #43#

This short code interrogates your device if Call Waiting is enabled or not. This setting allows you to be able to receive other calls while you’re already engaged in a conversation. The second and other callers will be cued in the waiting line. You’re notified with a sound alert when another call is waiting for you and have the option to decide if you wish to maintain the actual conversation, decline the new one or keep one of them on hold until you finish the other. Within iOS, call waiting is available in Settings -> Phone -> Call Waiting.


5. Call Forwarding | Status – All: *#21# – Unreachable: *#62# – When Busy: *#67# | Disable All Forwarding: ##002# + ‘Call’

Whenever you’re busy or on holiday you can redirect your calls to another colleague or family member. Use the nearby mentioned secret code and interrogate your iPhone about its current call forwarding settings. Besides voice data, you can also check out forwarding for data and faxes. Redirecting voice calls can be also set up from the iOS Settings -> Phone -> Call Forwarding. Use the other codes to check call forwarding status, when phone is out of reach or when busy.



6.Incoming Call Presentation | Status: *#30# + ‘Call’
Shows if your iPhone will display the number of incoming calls.
