Install Safari on Ubuntu

Ubuntu users lack the number of options available as compared to the PC or Mac users. Main browsers they can use are Firefox, Chromium, Google Chrome & Opera. In this post I will be writing a tutorial on how you can install Safari on Ubuntu. So, without any further ado we will start.

• Install Wine

Wine is a known Windows emulator for Linux. It is used to run Windows programs on Linux. We will be installing Wine first in order to install Safari on Linux. To install wine you need to open up the Ubuntu Software center and search for Wine. Or, you can simply go to this website and follow the instructions.The install will take a while. Or, you can install it via the Terminal using the following apt syntax.

sudo apt-get install wine

After installing Wine you need to install core fonts and the flash (windows version) using winetricks. To do this input the following in the terminal.

winetricks corefonts flash

• Install 7zip

Installing 7zip is our next step as this will be needed to run Play on Linux. Ignoring this will give you an error related to 7zip.

sudo apt-get install p7zip-full

• Install Play On Linux

Play on Linux will help us create an environment to run Safari easily. To install Play on Linux you need to download it from this website. Choose the Ubuntu version as we are doing this for Ubuntu.

After installing Play on Linux, open it. A new window will open up which will look like the screenshot below.

Now click Install. Click Internet and then click Safari. Click Install.

Now the package will download some required packages and start installing Safari on Ubuntu. Keep following the wizard and you will have Safari installed on Ubuntu.

So, we have successfully installed Safari on Ubuntu.

Sara- The Best Alternative to 'Siri'

Since the release of the iPhone 4S and its awesome intelligent voice assistant Siri, every older iPhone device owner has been trying to get Siri on his iPhone. As you know, developers have successfully managed to port Siri to older devices. However,it couldn’t be made public.

A while after, Spire was released promising Siri port to older devices, iPhone 4, 3GS.iPod touch 4G,3G but it required a Siri proxy and iPhone 4S authentication keys which is not an easy task for many users. A Vietnamese team has developed a new Siri more advanced alternative named “Sara”. In addition to the normal Siri capabilities like setting reminders making calls, Sara allows users to train it to accept commands. Sara is described as having an “open” brain allowing developers to create plug-ins for special commands. If Sara proves success,it won`t be long before we see a lot of plugins released. Another cool feature about Sara is that it works in a number of countries other than the US and it is available in 37 languages in only a month’s development.That is something that Siri lacks. We are not sure if Sara can indeed beat the almighty Siri,but we will have to wait and see in a couple of month how it would turn out. To get Sara, just add this repository to Cydia http://isoftjsc.com and download the version supporting your device.

Send Files From Your iPhone To Any Device Via Bluetooth Using AirBlue For iOS 5

We have been noticing many Cydia Tweaks since the iOS 5.0.1 Jailbreak is available. Some are free and some paid, but all of them are of course very useful. But today we have a very useful Cydia Tweak called AirBlue Sharing which allows iPhone, iPod and iPad users running iOS 4.0 and above to send and receive files from any devices, even Android. Yes this Cydia tweak actually does that. AirBlue Sharing for iPhone, iPod and iPad eliminates one of the main disadvantages which they have till now. Users now can share and receive files from any non iOS devices including Symbian, Windows Phone, and Blackberry, Android or any other device.

AirBlue Sharing allows you to share/receive any Video, Picture, Music, Contacts, Notes or any other file on your iDevice. The transfer takes place at a very high speed which is up to 1.7MB/s. Since files can be transferred using Bluetooth and WiFi to any device, you can also include your Windows, Linux or Mac PC in the list. AirBlue Sharing has this capability which can automatically detect the best way to transfer the files. One of the main features of AirBlue Sharing which I would like to mention is, it allows you to send/receive multiple files at the same time. Which means you does not need to be in a queue.

No, you have to pay the amount which is $4.99 and I think that’s worth paying because it works perfectly fine and is the best solution available for Bluetooth/WiFi sharing. To buy you can simply go to the BigBoss repository and make a purchase.

Convert your iPad 2 into MacBook with iPad Trooper

Hi Folks, iPad 2 has seen many protective Cases over its short period of existence, however I have to agree I have not seen anything that’s as beautiful as The Trooper Case by Clamcase.

Apple Unveils iPad2

After the huge success of the Apple iPad , Apple Inc. (always a pioneer in technology ) has launched the next generation of iPad being called as iPad2 with loads of new features and innovations. It is confirmed that it is going to be much better. The first thing you will notice that it is 15% lighter and features two cameras , one on the front for a bigger better face time experience than Apple iPhone4 and a rear view camera for HD video recording. Here we discuss some of its features
1.iPad 2 is lighter and thinner
Apple called it an all-new design. And it is. The main physical thing is that the new iPad is thinner - 33 per cent thinner, clocking it at 8.8mm. Incredibly, that's thinner than the iPhone 4 which clocks in at 9.3mm. It's also 15 per cent lighter, which is welcome.
2. The iPad 2 has FaceTime
The new iPad has the expected front-facing VGA camera (as well as one on the back). What's the point of the one on the back? Like the iPhone 4's rear snapper, it takes 720p video (though has no flash unlike other tablets). And that's enough for us.
3. The iPad 2 battery life stays the same
The iPad 2's battery life is apparently not limited by the new design - it has the same 10 hour battery life as before, with a month of standby time Still, that's quite impressive when you think about the reduced size of the unit.
