How do I : Iphone Home Button

Techniques to help restore functionality to your Home button. Here are some that worked for me.

Button Recalibration

1. Open any standard bundled app like YouTube
2. Press the power button and keep holding down till the "slide to turn off" red slider appears
3. Now leave the power button and press only the home button and keep holding it down for a few seconds till the slider disappears and the app running in the background closes.

The Charger Fix
This is a new one that I recently discovered. It involves using the charger cable and applying a slight pressure upwards then pressing the home button.

Or mayb it is time for a replacement of the home button

Freelance Work: Skillpages

Based on social networking, Skillpages is a little less structured than the other two alternatives. It involves listing your skills and hoping someone notices you (although you can browse and bid for jobs). It also allows your friends to recommend you list of skills in a manner similar to how Facebook allows you to like statuses. Naturally, this works best if you have a large network of friends who are also using the service. There are fewer safeguards in place for ensuring that freelancers and employers don’t screw each other over, so this might require a little more caution to use.

The best part quality that Skillpages has is its integration with Facebook and Google+. Which makes it easier to pop in and look for jobs while simply browsing the web. It also has iOS and Android apps for getting freelance work where ever you are.

Freelance Work: oDesk

The largest freelance community online has the benefit of also being the most popular. Most of the jobs listed originate from the western side of the world. However, oDesk listings tend to lean towards technology based work that can be accomplished by anyone with an internet connection.

Behind oDesk is an automated time tracking system, so that freelancers can be paid by the number of hours they actually work. This also means that freelancers won’t have to worry about tracking their time and can actually get work done. The system also automatically hands out payment weekly, so the only thing standing between you and your extra cash is, well, you.

Freelance Work: Freelancer (Malaysia Presence)

As the only international freelance website with a presence in Malaysia, Freelancer.com might be the best place to start looking for those side jobs. A benefit of using this service is that potential clients have to put the payment into the hands of Freelancer when they post a job. This means that you are guaranteed to get paid. Payment is also doled out according to preset milestones, so employers can be certain that their requirements are also met.

Freelancer.com is currently partnering with MDeC for the Micro Sourcing to Generate Additional Income for the Low Income Household project in Malaysia. So it has at least some measure of official recognition.

Owlet: World's (First?) Baby Vitals Monitor

Meet Owlet, one of our hardware battlefield companies.

Owlet is an ankle-worn health tracking device for your baby, with an accompanying app that gives you a readout on your little bundle of joy’s health at any time. Owlet tracks heart rate, oxygen levels, skin temperature and even provides rollover alerts during sleep.

It all works with a system called Pulse oximetry, which has been used in hospitals and in pediatrics for years. By using red and infrared lights, the “smart sock” as they call it, can measure heart rate and oxygen levels without being invasive.

The smart sock then transmits the information its recording to a smartphone app via Bluetooth 4.0. If you don’t have a smartphone, you can plug in the smart sock via USB to see metrics on your computer, or connect the smart sock to your home Wifi network to see readouts on any connected device. more
