“This is Without Doubt the Sexiest Video Ever!” [Facebook Spam]

15 May, 2010 by
News, Social Media
Breaking news about Facebook and yet again it is all for wrong reasons. A new spam is making rounds which is spreading like wildfire. It goes like this - ", this is without doubt the sexiest video ever! :P :P :P"

Facebook-spam-sexiest-video

It entices the users with Candid Camera Prank and what more, it's a HQ (high quality) version video! The accompanying image should make most men click it without a second thought. Clicking on the video actually redirects you to some oooas_wqqa Facebook app. This should be enough of an indicator of a spam app, but if you still go ahead and install the app, it will automatically posts a wall message to your friends. In case you have fallen prey to the scam and installed the app, Go to Account on top right tab bar, Click that and select Application Setting under that and remove access to the app named "winamp". This is not the first time Facebook has been hit with spam apps. Remember the Pay to Use Facebook pages and ‘Who is Checking my Facebook Profile’ spam apps? Alas! Facebook hasn't learnt anything from them. They...

android-2.2-froyo The next version of Google's Android mobile OS is just around the corner and it has been code-named Froyo. Except for the name there hasn't been much information officially on what this new OS version has to offer, but still we do know quite a bit about Android 2.2 from various sources. So here are some of the coolest features of the upcoming Android 2.2 release.

Android 2.2 Froyo

1. Android 2.2 will be a lot faster This is the most exciting part of the new release. According to some benchmarking reports, Android 2.2 will be 450% faster than Android 2.1 on a Nexus One!

You can then broadcast your 3G signal to ANY device you like. The new update will also support tethering! 3. Integrated Flash Android 2.2 Froyo will come with integrated Flash support.

Compute Data Right From the Address Bar

13 May, 2010 by
Tiny Tip
Wolfram Alpha is arguably the best computation engine available on the web right now. It is an ambitious, long-term project to make all systematic knowledge immediately computable by anyone. Here is a simple tip to use Wolfram Alpha compute whatever you want right from the address bar. Just add a bookmark keyword in your Mozilla Firefox to open up Wolfram Alpha and give typed string as input automatically and compute it. Check the screenshot below of the bookmark from the bookmark library of Mozilla Firefox.

wolfram-alpha-bookmark

Have http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=%s as the input URL. Now, after saving the bookmark, whenever you type "w space " in the blank address bar and hit Enter, it opens up the results page having the input as automatically. Example given below

wolfram-alpha-example

Alternatively, you can use the official downloads which include Windows desktop gadget, chrome extension, IE & Firefox toolbars amongst others. Of-course you can use Google to compute simple mathematical data, but Wolfram Alpha is a master when it comes to complex computations! This bookmark tip can be used to access any of your...

Less than 2 months since Apple sued HTC over patent infringements, the Taiwanese smart-phone maker has filed a counter complaint against Apple for infringing upon 5 of their patents related to mobile phones and devices.

In a press release, Jason Mackenzie, vice president for North America at HTC, said:
As the innovator of the original Windows Mobile PocketPC Phone Edition in 2002 and the first Android smartphone in 2008, HTC believes the industry should be driven by healthy competition and innovation that offer consumers the best, most accessible mobile experiences possible.
He added:
We are taking this action against Apple to protect our intellectual property, our industry partners, and most importantly our customers that use HTC phones.
At present we do not have any additional details about the patents infringed by Apple. A spokeswoman for HTC said the company would release more details about its complaint shortly. In March 2010, Apple had filed a suite with the trade commission and also with the United States District...
