Did Deutsche Telekom Reveal the iPhone 6’s Release Date?



Will the iPhone 6 be out in September? One German wireless company certainly thinks so. The iPhone 6 has yet to be announced, but a German wireless company, Deutsche Telekom, is telling its call center support staff to tell customers that the device will be on September 19 of this year. 


The advice is meant to be used to entice customers into staying with the company reports AppleInsider, who got the tip from a German language Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) News site. Other media outlets are reporting that the date may be a potential leak on the part of the German wireless company. 

Whether Deutsche Telekom is telling its employees this based on actual information from Apple or if its an educated guess based on the release dates of past iPhone models is unclear. The reason why the company has been telling its staff to inform its customers of this date was to encourage customers to keep the company as their wireless provider and renew their contracts with the company. 

It was a tactic also employed by wireless carriers in the United States, especially during the period when AT&T (NYSE:T) was the exclusive wireless carrier for the iPhone. Today it can also be used with Verizon (NYSE:VZ), Sprint (NYSE:S), and T-Mobile, Deutsche Telekom’s American subsidiary, as wireless carriers. In the pre-iPhone days, similar tactics were used for the trendy cell phone of the moment. (MOTOROLA’S (NYSE:MSI) RZVR, anyone?)
  
However, this news could be good news for anyone in the market for an iPhone 6 this fall. Germany is among the European countries where the iPhone is released on the same day as its premiere in the United States and Canada. This date would fit into Apple’s recent pattern of releasing its phones around that week in mid-September. Phone releases going back to the iPhone 4S fit this pattern. 

Apple is staying mum about the iPhone 6. In typical style, no comments are made on future products until the company makes the official announcement. New iPhones are usually announced in early September, mere weeks before they are released to the public, allowing the buzz to build up in the silence leading up the pre-order period, which usually starts the same day as the announcement. 

It’s about time for a new iPhone to be released. The iPhone 5 came out in fall 2012. The following fall, the iPhone 5S and 5C, came out. Since then the iPhone 5 has been taken off the market. While the iPhone 5S and 5C had their success, interest in both is waning, especially in light of the Samsung Galaxy’s S5 recent release and swirling rumors of an upcoming iPhone 6 release date. However, we won’t know if Deutsche Telekom is right or not until the official word comes from Apple.

How to Convert DVDs for Uploading to YouTube, Vimeo, Break, Metacafe, Dailymotion…

Do you have any DVDs from wedding or funny videos to upload to Online video websites? As you know, Sharing videos online has already become a trendy entertainment among many people. It bring us a lot of fun, from where, we can learn the latest news, watch movies or funny video clips, the most important, it allows us to upload some videos we like to the website for sharing with our friends. Youtube and Vimeo are the most popular websites. Let’s take YouTube as an example. 
  

However, all of the video sharing sites doesn’t support DVD video format. If you have some nice DVD movies and want to share online with others, you have to convert DVD to other format like FLV, MP4, WebM, or other format compatible with the site. 
  
To do so, a DVD ripping software is essential. Here the Pavtube Bytecopy is recommended to you. This DVD ripping tool can rip any encrypted DVDs and convert DVD to FLV, MP4, WMV, WebM, MOV, AVI or other popular formats. For some video size and length limited sites, the built-in editor also allows you to extract DVD clips easily and conveniently. Learn more about this software ... 
  
YouTube supports video formats

YouTube supports a wide rang of video formats including MP4, FLV, WEBM, WMV, AVI, MOV, etc. but VOB is excluded. Also it only accepts videos that are shorter than 10 minutes and smaller than 1G. So if you want to upload video to YouTube with best video quality and minimal size, you should do something about your video before uploading. I did some researches and have figured out how to balance the video size and quality for uploading videos to YouTube. For your reference: 
  
Video container: MP4
Video codec: H.264 (The H.264 provides a better video quality in a smaller file size comparing the MPEG-4 codec)
Audio codec: MP3 or AAC (stereo channel)
Video resolution: 640x480 SD quality video with 4:3 or 1290x720 HD quality video with 16:9 widescreen
Frame rate: 24 frames or better 
  
Now download the right version of the program and follow the guide below.

    Step2. Choose output format. 

    Since you want to upload DVD to Vimeo, you can go to “Format” drop-down menu to pick up Vimeo accepted format, here I recommend you “Flash Video > FLV H.264 (*.flv)“. Finally start the conversion and then go get a cup of coffee (conversion takes time). 
     
     
    In fact, you can also choose “Commen Video > H.264 Video (*.mp4)“.  
     

     
    Tips: How to use the "Split" function?

    First, Check the file that you want to split, then choose the option "Split selected task".

    When the Video Split window pops up, tick off "Enable > Split file size (MB)", and either enter the desired maximum size of each file chunk or choose an appropriate size from the available drop down option. 

     
    Click "Ok" and back to the main interface. With the conversion processed, the video file will be cut automatically. Finally, you wil get multiple video files. 

    Step3. Press “Convert”button to begin the conversion. You can upload the new version video to YouTube after it finishes.

    Reviews:  
    If a picture is indeed worth a thousand words, this review would be just a selfie of yours truly looking sad and confused as the credits for "Words and Pictures" played in the background. Alas, I work in a medium driven by words, so to equal that picture, I’ve got 950 words to go.
    Equating words and images is the major plot point of "Words and Pictures." Two high school Honors program teachers oversee a student debate on which is more important, images or the written word. In the process, the teachers fall in love. It sounds like a romantic comedy with a little heft to it, until you discover that one teacher is so repellent that you root against the relationship. Adding insult to injury, the debate itself is given little screen time to develop.
    "Words and Pictures" has a helmer I greatly admire, suitably cast actors I enjoy and a plot that sounds intriguing. Rom-coms are the hardest genre to employ without failure, but director Fred Schepisi made two successful ones: "I.Q.," which I liked, and "Roxanne," which I adore. Clive Owen had a roguish charm in "Duplicity" and Juliette Binoche provided what little convincing romance there was to be had in "The English Patient." As a writer whose drawing skill makes Dr. Seuss look like Frank Miller, I was all set to root for words to win the big debate... 


    For Using DVD Discs - What Should You Pay Attention?

    Precious memories could be treasured on your mind for the rest of your life. Digital memories, which are filmed by your digital camera or camcorder on those sweet and fantastic holidays, should be saved on DVD for the sake of long time collection, so that you could enjoy these funny, touching, comical videos with your family members and even let your offspring be part of these precious moments.

     Everything in use will suffer more or less losses. A DVD disc is not an exception. If you want to better maintain your DVD discs, you need to keep the minimal loss when using them. To prolong their service life, you should follow the seven aspects below: (BTW, anyone who wish to digitize their physical DVD disks onto computer HDD can turn to thisDVDAID software.) 

    1. You are only allowed to pick up the disc by sticking your finger through the hole or by grabbing the outer edge of DVD disc. Do not touch the disc’s surface.
    2. Keep DVD discs in disc storage case when they are not in use. You should be cautious and avoid any scratches when putting them in storage case. Also do not bend DVD discs when taking them out.
    3. Make sure that you properly put the disc in DVD tray. Any diagonal will make it get stuck when closing the slot, which will damage not only the disc but also DVD player.
    4. Keep DVD discs far from radiators and heating units. Avoid direct sunshine. (Note: magnetic field has no effect on DVD discs. It is wrong when people say so.)
    5. The appropriate temperature for storing DVD discs is between -20°C and 50°C. The relative humidity is 5% - 90%.
    6. Do not stack DVD discs horizontally when arranging them because it will warp the underlying ones. They ought to be placed vertically. Desiccant should be placed in DVD storage case to avoid excessive damp.
    7. Try to remove the thin plastic paper that wraps up the DVD discs. Once it melts, the melted material will do large damage to your DVD discs. 

    Part two: How to pur DVD discs to your all devices? 

    Step one: Download Pavtube DVDAID, install and launch it. Then load the already inserted DVD to the program. 


    Step two: Click “Edit”to trim the part of the video that contains the audio you want to grab and the clipped will become source file automatically.
