An App That Records Things That Transpired Five Minutes Ago

By VJ
Heard iPhone app

If you have been in a situation in which you desperately wish you could go back in time and hear something again, then you are in luck. Here is an app called Heard that can record anything that your iPhone’s mic picked up, up to 5 minutes back. The slogan of this app itself is quite explicit: “Turn your iPhone into a time machine!”

Heard starts working as soon as you open it, by capturing everything through the mic. It stores the sounds into a tiny buffer that can store up to five minutes of audio. It simply refreshes to include fresh audio from the surroundings. Whenever you want to store something you heard, you simply push the big button to save.

All those snippets of conversation you saved will be available in the library from which you can share it on Facebook or by email.

The app can listen from the background and can set the buffer size to 12 seconds, 30 seconds, one minute, or five minutes.

This is quite a useful app for most people. If you simply want to prove that you heard someone right in a conversation or a debate is one of its pretty awesome uses. How many times has it happened to you that someone simply made a stupid remark and two minutes later that person simply denied making it? You could turn time in your favor with this app.

Sharing and tagging

Thanks to the Heard app, such embarrassments will no longer happen. Also, you can simply tag any audio file that you record and share it with your friends via social media. Thanks to TechCrunch for pointing out this highly useful app. The only disadvantage is that the app is currently available only for the Apple iPhone; whether or not it will be made available for Android in the near future is unknown.

What Is the Role of a Firewall, and How Does It Secure a Network From Unsafe Traffic?

By VJ
To understand firewalls, basic understanding of how networks function is requisite. Deep down, how do the packets of information that you send reach the intended receivers? How do the messages intended for you reach you safely? And how does it all function like clockwork? Let’s understand the basics of firewalls and see how a firewall secures the traffic in and out of a network. Consider this scenario for getting an understanding of how firewalls work. Say, you open up your browser to book a flight ticket for your upcoming vacation, and your computer is conveniently insecure without a firewall. Let’s say you come across an intriguing email that gives an offer you can’t refuse. You open the email and click a link, and bam! An unwanted piece of spyware is installed on your system. The spyware then proceeds to sit on your system tray, hidden from your eyes, tracking the keystrokes you make, reading the top-secret files you have, and looking for potentially rewarding information, such...

Digital Marketing Done Properly in the New Age

By VJ
I suppose it’s coincidence that this post appears almost exactly one year after Blue Bugle went sort of inactive. Today, the blog doesn’t enjoy as many readers as it once used to. This unfortunate thing is due to my hectic schedule in my new day job as senior content writer for an organization called MSys. This job gives me more opportunities to explore the separate aspects of the digital marketing domain. In the past, all we used to do was promoting our blog posts through social media at random thereby trying to gather as many visitors as possible. You never studied the prospects, the market, or the social channels you promote your stuff to.  Most of the SEO companies out there prided themselves in creating spammy blog comments to create links to client websites. Needless to say, most of these plans never worked or had less positive impact. Now, if you follow the same spammy activities, you are sure to get a ban at best. I had to come up with a new marketing plan for MSys th...
