Information On Smartphones Flies that you might not know of!

End of 2012, mobile applications may exceed the news sites on the Internet.

More than an epiphenomenon, it’s a real groundswell. Last Thursday, the mobile users have accessed more than ever their smartphones to stay abreast of current events. The French have taken on their mobile evolution of the assault by the raid on the apartment of the killer of Toulouse. The major applications have all seen their audience skyrocket. The Figaroa, for example, recorded a threefold increase in the number of visitors to its mobile applications (iPhone, iPad, Android and Windows Phone). For Le Monde, the number of hits on mobile surpassed those of the website. In exceptional cases, this could become the rule by the end of the year.

Beyond a dramatic news, the consultation of information on the go tends to be rooted in the mores. Almost 37% of smartphone users in five major European countries (including France) have already accessed news sites via an application or Web browser, according to the latest study released by ComScore. An increase of 74% in one year! In France, sales rose 59% year over year, the prize going to Spain, with a growth of 160%. Owners of smartphones become true “addicted” to information on mobile. More than a third of them consults news sites at least once a month, an increase of 74%, and already 10% of them do almost daily, an increase of 82% . In other words, people who visit the sites more information on mobile are also those who have more appeal.

Changing consumption patterns
“The increased adoption of smartphones in Europe contributed to the consumption of news and information on the fly,” says Blandine Silverman, director of ComScore Mobile. Last year, more than 14 million smartphones were sold in France. In addition, the size of phone screens has increased significantly, which makes reading easier. Moreover, with the exception of Apple, handset makers have contributed – especially through financial support – the development of applications related to information.

Important for magazine publishers attending a changing consumption patterns, the challenge is no less crucial for brands of mobile phones. Anxious to respond to the expectations of local consumers, they are trying to encourage publishers to develop applications in their world. This was accompanied by an improvement in the quality of products tailored for mobile, with more alerts. These short messages are a means of access to information very popular with mobile users.

The development of the tablet market should also benefit the viewing of the information in “nomadic”. Even if, contrary to smartphones, which are generally available outside the home, the shelves are at home.

The Six Most Dangerous Places for Swimming and Bathing Do not take your chance!

Swimming is a great way to relax on vacation during the hot summer days. But be careful when you want to do that. Here are the ten deadliest tourist destinations where bathing is not recommended, as chosen by AOL Travel News website.

Queensland, Australia  

In Queensland waters you can find the whole army of dangerous and poisonous marine animals. Octopus, poisonous shells, cubic jellyfish, scorpion fish ... are just some of them. Of all these, the most dangerous one is the jellyfish - about 100-200 people die each year from jellyfish burns. World’s most dangerous jellyfish live in these waters. Some of them can reach a length up to a few feet and many beaches in the summer are closed because of them. Do not swim if you see warning that jellyfish are close and try to have special clothes which can prevent the jellyfish burns. Or simply - do not go swimming.

Plaza Bolinas, California  

Bolinas beach is a paradise for surfers, but also it is a part of the infamous "Red Triangle". This place is one of the main feeding grounds of great white sharks. These well-known marine predators can be seen from the beach and when they hunt seals at sea. The chance of being attacked by a shark is very small, but they can dramatically increase if you decide to swim at the beach Bolinas. Prevention is not to swim at dusk, dawn or at night. Never swim alone and do not enter thewater if you have bleeding wound.

Amazon basin  

Apart from piranhas, caimans and electric eels, one of the main reasons why you should not swim in the Amazon is called "toothpick pish". This small freshwater catfish has a nasty habit of being drawn into the male sex organ, or any body cavity. Prevention is not to swim with an bleeding wound and to carry extra underwear below your swim suit.

Gulf of Mexico, USA  

Apart from the catastrophic oil spills, Gulf of Mexico is also home to some very unpleasant creatures. One of the deadliest snakes on the continent lives in these waters. Let it bite you - and youll be dead in less than two hours. Prevention is not to swim beneath the branches of trees. Your move may force the snake to fall on you.

Victoria Falls, Zambia  

The most dangerous place is not the 328 feet waterfall itself. "Devils Swimming Pool" is the perfect place for suicide swimmers because this natural pool lies on the edge of the waterfall, and a little piece of rock divides the swimmers from falling down the waterfall and certain death.

Kao Sok National Park, Thailand  

Before you decide to go camping in this national park, ask someone for advice! The area is full of dangerous animals, much more than naive tourists can imagine. The enormous size millipedes, sharks, dangerous leeches, giant mosquitoes and poisonous caterpillars are living at this place. Leech bite is largely unavoidable, and for the prevention it is advised that you smoke a cigarette? Although smoking is extremely dangerous and harmful, in this national park that it can serve as a shield from the leeches who hate it. If a leech gets you, wet the tobacco and rub the leech with it and it should back down. Whatever you do, avoid removing it by force because you will irritate it and it will release its poison.
