From now onwards you don’t have to update your status message but you have to tweet your status message in Twitter. Twitter has done a minor change to its interface by changing the wording of update button to tweet which is basically used to update your status message. It is the most obvious change which doesn’t require any explanation. Its too obvious we tweet, we don’t update.

Don't Update Just Tweet

I have never seen Steve Jobs without a turtle neck in recent times. But he was seen in a tuxedo (you heard it right) in recently concluded Oscar Event. This change of outfit from turtleneck to tux is just for the love for insanely great iPad. It was the day of unveiling iPad’s first ever commercial at the the Oscars (Watch the ad below). iPad ad was featured twice at the Oscars. This is the perfect place to generate pre-launch hype around iPad which is hitting the stores on 3rd April. Jobs just knows how to market his products.

This comes from Israel. A military raid on suspected militants in West Bank had to be rolled off after one of the Israeli soldiers updated his Facebook status with a stupid message which went some thing like this

“On Wednesday we clean up Qatanah, and on Thursday, god willing, we come home.”

Reports in Israeli newpapaer Haaretz also suggests that the soldier also leaked the name of the combat unit, the place of the operation and the time of operation. This was discovered by the military when his Facebook friends reported about this to the military authorities. (more…)

The heading of the post looks as if I am going to talk about pornography, which is quite awkward for a tech blog. But we are here to introduce you to a gadget that will expose and embarrass you if you are too much into pornography. I know that most of you teens out there hide your porn collection of photos and videos in some hideous location in your computer, so that nobody can find them. But your life can be disrupted by a new device called “Porn Detection Stick” from Paraben. This device is a USB stick, which can be plugged into any computer, and it can detect illicit images from your hard drive. You can’t also see some porn photos and delete them as it can also scan deleted photos (Don’t know how its working, may be through some data recovery software). Guys have some sigh of relief: It can’t detect pornographic videos present in your computer (only photos), so you can go about watching them.

Steve ~ I Want You To Stop Stealing From Us

By now every one under the sun knows that Apple has sued HTC and apparently it has got less to do with HTC and a lot to do with Google & Android. After all HTC is the manufacturer of Nexus One and uses Android in a lot of its phone.

Although Steve Jobs is right when he says in the press release

“We can sit by and watch competitors steal our patented inventions, or we can do something about it. We’ve decided to do something about it. We think competition is healthy, but competitors should create their own original technology, not steal ours.”

Some guys from a Denver design company Aten Design group are going to kill Internet Explorer 6 today i.e. 1st March and they are also inviting people for a funeral ceremony on 4th March 2010 in the memory of IE6. Ya its true. They have designed a separate website named ie6funeral.com especially for this occasion. You can actually reply to them that whether you want to attend the funeral. There is also the option to buy T-shirts in order to support this event. The funeral service has already received an overwhelming response that is why the organizers of this event have moved this event to new location in order to accommodate more people.

iTunes has just now reached another hall mark. Some time back iTunes recorded its 10 billionth song download. Apple has gift voucher of $10000 for the person who has downloaded this lucky song.

Today is especial day. Quite ironically one God created history today by scoring 200 runs in ODI and becoming 1st man on the planet to achieve this mark & on the other hand, right on the opposite side of the planet another God celebrates his Birthday today and turns 55. Well I for that matter worship both these Gods equally. By now you must have guessed it, I am talking about the God of cricket Sachin TENdulkar and another Godly figure in Silicon Valley Steve Jobs. Even more remarkable is the fact that iTunes might hit 10 billion download mark today! (more…)

Twitter is known for going out of its way to help people fight a social/political cause which Twitter believes in. Most remarkable was the role of Twitter in last years Iran elections. Though Twitter did face the heat for helping the people of Iran when it was hacked late last year by the so called ‘Iranian Cyber Army’. Now comes yet another humanitarian gesture from Twitter, this time for the people of Haiti. Twitter has arranged free SMS tweets for the people of Haiti who are using Digicel network for their mobile phones. Twitter co-founder Biz Stone writes in Twitter Blog (more…)
