The Gmail provides excellent tools for anti-spam and anti-viruses. The username and password authentication is great, but you can make this more secure using two factor authentication or 2 step verification.

Here's how to activate the 2-Step Verification using your Gmail or Google Apps email.

• Login to your email at Gmail.com
• In the upper right-corner of your browser, click on your email address, then click Account Settings.
• Under Security, click on "Using 2-Step verification" to generate the codes.
• For this example, I will use my iPhone, (also available for Android and BlackBerry). So in Mobile Application, click on iPhone. The next page will provide information on how to download the Google Authenticator for iPhone, done that and I am ready to go.
• Using my iPhone Google Authenticator, click the (+) sign to add, click the Scan Barcode, and scan the code in your Gmail account.
• In the iPhone Google Authenticator, you will see a 6-digits number to be use to verify your account. You have 60 seconds to key-in these numbers to your Gmail for verification. If successful, the email system will force you to re-login using your username, password, and now with the 6-digits number (2-step verification).

This complete your 2-step verification. Every time you log-in to your gmail account, you will enter your username, password, and 6-digits pin. The 6-digits number changes every 60 seconds.

I'm so excited today hoping to received my iPhone 4S. That excitement shoot down when I find out that Best Buy doesn't have my preordered iPhone 4S 64GB Black model on time.

Instead, I decided to upgrade my iPad to the latest released of iOS 5.0.

My current iOS version is 4.3.1, so I have to upgrade first to 4.3.5, then run the Update.

Upgrading iOS from 4.3.1 to 4.3.5 took a while, more than one hour from running the backup of my entire iPad contents e.g. pictures, video, and apps.

The iOS 5.0 requires iTunes 10.5, so I have to download and install it. It takes 10-15 minutes to updates. And another 30-45 minutes downloading files, depending on your internet speed.

I restarted my MacBook Pro as required by the program, then enjoy iOS 5.0 on my iPad.

Next, my iPhone 3GS upgrading for iOS 5.0.

Update:
My iPhone 3GS is now upgraded to iOS 5.0. One nice feature of iOS 5.0, I can run "Software Update" directly from my iPhone. This feature remove the dependency to my MacBook Pro for next software update.

And, I can use the "iTunes Wi-Fi Sync" to automatically sync with iTunes on my computer when my iPhone is plugged in to power and connected to WiFi. I see there is room for improvement, hopefully with their next release of software update. I can simply sync to my iTunes through Wi-Fi or directly through 4G network. Let's wait and see, only time will tell.

If you're running a blog using a content management system Wordpress, it is recommended to use the plug-in WP Super Cache.

According to the description:
"This plugin generates static html files from your dynamic WordPress blog. After a html file is generated your webserver will serve that file instead of processing the comparatively heavier and more expensive WordPress PHP scripts." (2011, Wordpress.org)

With this plug-in, it will reduce the loading time of your website by 20-50% faster.

Knowing the advantages, now let's find out the disadvantages. Well I'm running a e-commerce websites, for example www.breeder.co, www.talked.com, www.headcam.com, etc. My e-commerce websites were designed to randomly display the products in the main page, so we can showcase all products that we have in store. The website load faster but since it was converted to static html, the random display of products become static too. So I decided not to use the WP Super Cache plug-in in our e-commerce websites.

I hope this help.

Apple comes short with their announcement today. I'm expecting a new iPhone product called iPhone 5, instead they announce iPhone 4S. It is like giving you a half bake product, same physical design, though comes with powerful processor dual-core A5, 8 megapixel camera, 1080p video recording at 30fps. Engadget.com provides a comparison between iPhone 4S VS iPhone4, and TechCrunch.com post here. Check it out.

As consumer, I still prefer to have an iPhone 4S than anything else. Maybe it's time for me to check the Galaxy II smart phone again. What do you think?
