admin

It’s not easy to get creative or original when designing a Facebook page. This is why developers have created so many apps that allow users to customize their Facebook profile or fan pages. While there are so many services on the market for making Facebook page tabs, there is one new service that stands out from the rest: Static HTML.

Static HTML is a practical Facebook app that allows users to easily add tabs to their Facebook pages. The new app allows all Facebook users — including non-programmers — to create a new tab on any Facebook page.

Registering for the app is a simple three-step process. Once signed in to your Facebook account, go to the Static HTML page. Then you can register by selecting the app you wish to add. Once you’ve selecting Static HTML, you’re free to begin editing your new Facebook page. It’s that easy!

So what is the big deal about using a world SIM card when you are traveling abroad?

For one, it is the reduced costs that you can benefit from apart from knowing that you will be seamlessly connected regardless of which country you are in. The number of countries that support certain international phones is about 230 plus in number so you can just imagine how easy it will be for you to have decent connection.

So your next question might be where you can find information pertinent to these phones and a global SIM card that is just right for you.

One place where you can find information regarding these services is over the Internet.  There are certain sites that have been designed to showcase these products to interested buyers. Not only will you be able to find international prepaid cell phones but SIM cards as well apart from the costs involved in purchasing and using them regularly.

No matter what choice you make, you will find that these services can be customized to your travel needs, thus, ensuring you that you will end up saving a lot more money than you expected. In doing so, you can then rest easy as your family members and colleagues can both get in touch with you if they need to for any particular reason, and you can get in touch with them knowing that you would not be racking up a large bill once you get back home.

A Comparison of The MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 Compression Formats

Multimedia applications of today commonly use the MPEG format, which are also known as audio/video compression formats differing in quality and size with each new version of MPEG format that is released these days.

There are two of these formats that are normally used, and are normally referred to as the MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 versions, and so here is a comparison of both types of formats.

#1: Quality

Since the MPEG-2 is normally used for DVD and digital television technology, its use is compromised when it comes to multimedia network applications. This is why the MPEG-4 format has been designed for this very purpose, especially for the internet.

#2: File Size

This one is simple. Between the compression formats, the MPEG-4 format takes up very less memory in terms of the size of a file. This is because the MPEG-4 format has been designed for the internet which needs to be smaller in size so that it can be transferred over the internet. MPEG-2 does not need to work within the same limitations and is thus larger in size.

#3: Bit rate

While the bit rate for MPEG-2 files is about 4 to 9 MB/s, there is a big difference between these values and those of the MPEG-4 format which is merely a few Kilobytes per second. And yet again the reason for this is because the MPEG format has been designed for network applications that will not be able to support the bit rates of the MPEG-2 format.
