BlackBerry’s Next Flagship: A10

By VJ
Rumors have been floating around about the next flagship BlackBerry 10 model, successor to Z10, called A10. It is rumored that the new smartphone, along with certain other models may arrive by the end of the year.

The first indication of the A10 model that is rumored to be codenamed ‘Aristo’, came in an interview with Thorsten Heins, the CEO of BlackBerry with CNET. Last year, a UK fan site of BlackBerry published this image of what seems to be BlackBerry A10 specifications, leaked.

BlackBerry A10 Aristo leaked specs

From the image, you can see the A10 device probably has a larger 4.6 inch display, the same quad-core Snapdragon processor as in Z10, 2 GB of RAM, etc. The specs are not quite different from Z10’s.

Recent rumors however talk about a larger 5 inch BlackBerry A10 that involves the next version of BB10 OS, possibly version 10.2. Also, some say the RAM will be higher at 4 GB or so.

We don’t yet have any clear indication of what the specs will be of this model. Also, in CrackBerry forums, earlier, there was a rumor of a hands-on on A10. The person has mentioned the device sort of looked like Samsung Galaxy S4 with the same kind of back as Z10.

While Sprint did not sign up to launch Z10, they seem to be excited about the upcoming A10. There are reports that Sprint has already agreed to sell A10 by the end of the year.

Whether or not the device will come with a big screen to rival all those Android phones needs to be seen. Z10 is not selling hot enough to make an impact in the smartphone world dominated by Android and Apple iPhone. While people prefer Android devices for their hardware specs, involving huge screens and powerful processors, they want iPhone for the huge number of apps and gadgets that make it highly productive. BlackBerry Z10 doesn’t have big hardware specs; neither does it have a considerable array of apps. If they manage to come up with a better device, we may be able to see some changes.

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...
