Has iOS 5 1 Fixed iPhone’s Poor Battery Life Issue
Ever since Apple launched iPhone 4S, users have complained about poor battery life and despite Apples claim iPhone 4S battery life was worse than iPhone 4.
Apple released iOS 5.0.1, which included bugs fixes that affected battery life, but iPhone 4S users complained that it didnt fix the issue in their case and in some cases users (not just iPhone 4S users) complained that they started observing the issue only after upgrading to iOS 5.0.1.
Apple acknowledged that it may have not fixed all the bugs affecting battery life and will do so in a future iOS software update.
So as promised (though after quite a long time), Apple released iOS 5.1 yesterday, which according to the iOS 5.1 release notesalso addresses bugs that affects battery life.
We would love to find out if iOS 5.1 has fixed the poor battery life issue on your iPhone 4S so please drop us a line in the comments (assuming that you have updated your iPhone to iOS 5.1 as you dont care about jailbreaking).
Terry, we hope you get the answer to your question.

Asus and Leap Motion Bring Minority Report Style Gestures to Life
Creating a powerful new input device for computers is hard, but not as hard as convincing people to ditch the mouse for something entirely new. Like, say, waving your hands in the air. You can either hand them out on street corner (bad idea), or bundle them with a computer maker. Leap Motion is doing the latter.
Imagine a Microsoft Kinect on steroids and you have a good idea of how Leap Motion works. The motion controller tracks in-air movement to 1/100th of a millimeter. But instead of watching you dance, the Leap creates 8 cubic feet of 3-D space that is recreated on the computer and can be interacted with via hands, pens or random objects you find lying around your home.
Eager to get people using its cool new product, Leap Motion announced Thursday that its 3-D motion controller will be bundled with Asus computers. The controller will ship with Asus all-in-ones and laptops that will have the Leap Motion app store pre-installed. The bundles and sold-alone Leap Motion controllers are expected to be available soon.
One of the more intriguing aspects of the Leap Motion on a Windows 8 machine is that the Live Tiles can be manipulated without having to touch a computer’s display. CEO and co-founder Michael Buckwald told Wired, “In terms of the basic Windows 8 control experience, Leap can provide a better experience than a touchscreen.”
The Leap Motion will ship Windows 8 and OS X ready. Support for ARM devices including smartphones and tablets will be available in the future.
