iPhone 5S - The A7 chipset

The iPhone 5S makes use of a radically re-engineered new chip set, called A7.

Based on 64-bit architecture for the first time, the new iPhone 5S is said to be up to 56 times faster than the original iPhone. iOS 7 is now a 64-bit OS, but it's backward compatible with all the currently available 32-bit apps.

The A7 also supports OpenGL ES 3.0, which opens the door to even higher-quality graphics, allowing for real-time computation of effects such as depth of field, blur, full screen vignettes and lens flares.

The processor is accompanied by the M7, a motion co-processor, which measures motion data continuously from the accelerometer, gyroscope, and compass, enabling a new generation of sports apps.

iPhone 5S 8MP camera

The new camera has a wider f/2.2 aperture (as opposed to f/2.4) and a larger image sensor. There is also a new double LED flash on the iPhone 5S, which Apple has dubbed True Tone, called this way because it allows to achieve more accurate colors tone.

The camera also comes with new image stabilization, albeit digital one.

The camera will also captures 720p videos at 120fps, allowing it to create slow-mo videos.

Google Should Update its Search Algorithm Annually

Hi my dear Search Marketing friends, in this post I've nothing to say, but have to request Google to stop rolling out Panda and Penguine search algorithm updates whenever they feel like, and I need you to raise voice with me if you also feel it irritating to see breaking news every week. We all know that Google is trying hard to present quality sites to the users. We (Search Marketing Professionals) are also working hard, day and night to optimize our websites, with quality content and trustworthy authorship. We just want to request you +matt  to keep it a little organized. You can decide on rolling out Search algorithm updates in December every year, or may be in January of each year. This will help us in defining a better online strategy to execute. If not on annual basis, then please don't do sudden changes and kindly give us a time period of at least 6 months between each algorithm update.

There should be algorithm change spike only once every year, so that we can follow the guidelines and contribute with valuable information and solutions. I hope, you (Google) will not mind, if we together bring quality content for the users. +MattCutts
