iOS 5 release and jailbreak succession

By: Daniel Chubb | September 6, 2011


While we know that an iPhone 5 release is almost upon us, it can’t happen until Apple release iOS 5, or at least they need to both come at the same time as traditionally new hardware also includes new software. Seeing iPhone 5 pre-orders starting in Germany and production apparently starting means that an iOS 5 release is extremely close. full article - PR

Reality in FIFA 12 release and player doubts

To say that I’m a little excited about the release of FIFA 12 being less than a month away would be an understatement, and I’m sure I speak for many gamers when I say that. The game is due at the end of the month and the build-up to it has been a satisfying one, with many details about the game being reveled.

Many of you will also be aware that the game’s demo is due out on the 13th of September across all platforms, giving the public the first taste of what the game is like. full article - PR

9/11 Questions (Almost) Nobody’s Asking

(Bob Livingston)   Sunday will mark the 10-year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. And although the official version of what happened that day has more holes than a Revolutionary soldier’s sock in Valley Forge, it is now accepted as fact and without question.

The reason for this goes back to what I wrote last week in Prima Facie. There is no inquiry by the American people. What their “leaders” feed them is automatically believed to be true.

Conventional wisdom has it that 19 hijackers of Middle Eastern origin — primarily Saudi Arabians — outwitted the vast United States intelligence network and the worldwide intelligence network for months while preparing to carry out the largest attack ever on American soil. The attack was planned from Afghanistan by a bunch of cave-dwellers and financed by the son of a Saudi billionaire who had an ax to grind with America for occupying Muslim holy ground. - Federal Jack

Stand with us at Ground Zero NYC this Sunday, to show our numbers. It will not fall on a weekend again for another five years until 2016. That’s why it is so important to come out, stand, show how many people still have unanswered questions, and have heard too many lies. Stand with like minded people who want to know the truth. You cannot have change until people realize there is a problem. Let’s make a massive showing. This will be a peaceful showing of numbers. After ten years, there is no need to debate. It’s time to just tell people to do there own research. Our numbers could be the force to inspire people. Let’s do it, and let’s to it this year! See you there. wearechange.rog

Kinetik: An iPhone app that lets you find and share great iPhone apps

Tuesday September 6, 2011, Brad McCarty

While there are great resources around the Internet for finding apps, you don’t always have the time to go reading through reviews and such. We’ve all dug through the App Store for what seems like hours on end only to come up with…not much. So what if there was a better way to find apps for your iPhone? Kinetik wants to be just that.

Kinetik is an iPhone app that will help you to find iPhone apps. Seem like a bit of recursion? That’s sort of the point. If you could rely on your friends to give you suggestions, or maybe get a designer to show you the most beautiful apps, wouldn’t that be better than the more hit-or-miss methods that you’re probably using now? Or how about if you could share the apps that you love, and tell exactly why you love them? That’s how Kinetik works.

So how’s it work? - TNW

Social Commerce: How money is changing social media

Tuesday September 6, 2011, Lauren Fisher

The buzzword on everyone’s lips at the moment is social commerce. It’s the area within social media that shows the most promise as it represents a step towards change in the way people engage with social media.

We’ve now progressed from using social media as a place to converse and share content, and as we build up trustworthiness in social channels we are becoming more comfortable with the idea of transferring money and allowing social technologies to transform the shopping experience. Yet it’s also the area where there is the most uncertainty. Will social commerce end up on the mobile or online? How will we pay? How do brands make the most of this? Which social platform will emerge as the leader in social commerce? With this much uncertainty around, I wanted to look at the state of social commerce now, and examine where it’s going. full article - TNW

Cand ai caine agresiv, in locurile publice pune-i botnita si tine-l in lesa.

publicat @ 03 September 2011 in categoria > din viata...

Pit al nostru nu are nici 5% agresivitate cand iese din curte dar cand ies cu el in public am la mine lesa si il tin cu botnita, intotdeauna langa mine.
Asa ca mi se pare si mai important ca atunci cand ai un caine agresiv sa ai si mai multa grija. Caci daca nu-l tii in lesa si nu-i pui botnita va sari sa muste, si nu poti da vina pe caine oricat de mult ti-ar placea.
Asa s-a intamplat si azi… am iesit in parc cu fiica mea si cu Luana. L-am luat si pe Pit si ne-am trezit muscati amandoi, intai Pit si-apoi eu, de un doberman enorm lasat liber de stapanii lui.
Bine, in dulcele stil al unora… am fost ulterior si injurati, si eu si Luana, de stapanul cainelui. Ca aparem la teveu, deci meritam.
Si pentru ca eu cred cu putere ca daca vrem sa schimbam ceva trebuie sa ne implicam, am sunat la 112 si-apoi am fost sa depun plangere la sectie. Pe urma cu Pit la veterinar sa-l coasa si cu mine la bandajat si vaccinat.

Concluzia 1: daca stii ca ai caine agresiv respecta legea si respecta-i si pe ceilalti cu care imparti aerul prin parc sau prin alte locuri si… pune-i botnita.
Concluzia 2: daca apari la televizor meriti injuraturi.
