Mashable Poll Does Not add Up

September 3rd, 2010 Tech News No comments

On the Mashable website reading the poll results for Mashable’s poll on New digg Verses old digg.

A few things just don’t add up,

Mashable Poll

Stare closely When you see it. Keep looking there is more.

They say that old Digg won, but it shows old Digg got only 4 votes but is 78% of the poll.
IMHO, They don’t like Digg’s ability to steal traffic, or the traffic Digg stole a while back..

Why do I say this?
because if you tilt your head to the right.

The poll looks like they are flipping an FU bird.

Zane Savage on Apple TV

September 2nd, 2010 TruXter No comments

Makes Sense to me.

Zanesavage | September 01, 2010

This device is a DOWNGRADE for anyone who currently owns an Apple TV. I like the price, I just don’t like the hardware.

Very Well put.
I like my media I want my media.
Least they can do is sell some of the New apple tvs come with multiple usb ports, That way you can watch home videos without needing yet another device hooked up to your television.
It looks cool. The concept is good. but the full end delivery is not up to my likings either.
Maybe they should call it the mini or the “budget apple tv” Wait, net flicks on apple???
but they don’t let anyone on their stuff right? Apple is screwy and it trips me out what mac people think is acceptable.

New digg Is Launched

September 1st, 2010 TruXter No comments

Well Kevin and the gang finally opened the new digg for the public.
We no longer have to go the long way to get there and we don’t have two separate versions of digg. It’s all in one now.
So if you didn’t get an invite a week ago, No worries. You can now see what we all were buzzing about.

Submit it to Google buzz. lol

Myspace to Sync With Facebook

August 30th, 2010 TruXter No comments

A Little to late. But hey now facebook is dropping  all embedded outside aps. So this could be perfect for Myspace or now could be the time that everyone is tried of the flood of Social networks.

Exciting new things at MySpace

We know you’re eager for change, and we’ve been listening. It’s time to dust off those cobwebs and get back in the saddle, because today we’re introducing you to some new features and products that you’re going to love.

Don’t waste time visiting so many sites – our new sync function allows you to update all your friends from just one place.

Learn more

It’s cleaner, easier to use, has better design tools, and if we can be perfectly honest – is ridiculously good looking.

Learn more



Stay tuned for even more exciting updates to come.
You’re not going to want to miss what’s next!
See you there,
The MySpace team

Sync Myspace with Facebook and Twitter


Just needs friend feed and the ability to put your own personal feed in there so that you can post a bulletin to all of your friends.
Good luck Myspace. Maybe you guys can sell Myspace back to Tom for $500 and let him get it back off the ground again.

Paypal Android Bump App

August 30th, 2010 Tech News No comments

Just by being at the correct menu and fulfilling the proper credentials, you can now bump your android phone to another android phone and make a payment of a specified amount.
Android application that allows paypal payment via a bump? lol now the pick pockets just have to bump into your phone? If you are a moron walking around looking for some who is ready to receive while you have a specified drop amount in hand.
What will this do for smuggling or laundering. Probably not much. Except when you see the Knux bump, It could in fact be an exchange of money. An accidental hand bump in a a crowded bus, airport, mall or what ever. You can then pretend to be someone that witnessed a spy transaction. Or you could be someone that really did witness one and just not wake up in the morning.
Well you can get your android bump ap and see who all out there is willing to test it out with you.
Go to Paypal’s site when you get the free time or look in the android market for it.

Gmail Phone

August 25th, 2010 Tech News No comments

Well I logged in today to my gmail account while on my Xubuntu partition and saw something new (to me).

It seems that Google has released  and internet based phone that we all can use locally for free.

There is a page that describes the rates. but there was also a pop up ( I did not screenshot) that says calls within the country I am in are free, but calls outside of the country have extremely low rates.

Here is a list of the rates for the google phone and the page the rates are listed on.

Now you can make phone calls from Gmail at extremely low rates — so you can share your two cents with France
(or Argentina, or Iceland, or Guam…) for $0.02. Check out some sample per-minute rates below or see the complete list.

Google Leading internet telephony provider
United States free 2.1 ¢/min + connection fee
Canada free 2.1 ¢/min + connection fee
India 6 ¢/min 9.2 ¢/min + connection fee
UK landline 2 ¢/min 2.1 ¢/min + connection fee
UK mobile 18 ¢/min 25.3 ¢/min + connection fee
Mexico landline 10 ¢/min 9.9 ¢/min + connection fee
Mexico mobile 19 ¢/min 33.6 ¢/min + connection fee
France landline 2 ¢/min 2.1 ¢/min + connection fee
France mobile 15 ¢/min 20.3 ¢/min + connection fee

Wooo hoo… It’s like the G1.1 for all of us lol… I wonder if they will slip in some ads in there.

Google Phone picture

The reason I mentioned Xubuntu is that I had just installed the latest version and then tested the  Ethernet driver adapter support by heading straight to gmail and I got the notice. Since I was on Linux, and all of the android phones are owned by Google, and well since Android is based on Linux , My assumption was that Google gave all of the Linux users a cool little secret treat.

But then I booted to my winseven partition and :-(

There it is, the google phone for gmail.

I remember when msn and yahoo did this years ago. As soon as they stopped, Skype took it over.

**updated**

My question is, if you have the official Gmail ap on your droid. Does this mean you can now make calls and bypass your phone billing service since you are paying for unlimited internet ?

Apple Makes 99 Cent Shows Store

August 24th, 2010 Tech News No comments

Cnet reports that Itunes has a new store for tv shows. 99 cent shows on itunes.

Everyone already knows what will be on that section of their site. The office,Family guy, Southpark and a few other internet trends. Lots of Chick flick tv shows. Resolution will be above par. 48 hours is the window of time we have to watch the videos and then bam it’s gone.

Well cool, that actually brings media to the public the way we have kinda always wanted. Really we wanted the owners of tv stations to stream for free. Well we could handle adverts and stuff. We kind of expect it. So the rental of a tv show we could probably watch on time, is kind of lame. Does give us the chance to watch the movies we would have missed because a late day at work or what ever catastrophe we would encounter that would prevent the enjoyment of our favorite show. DVR.

It’s a good idea for some.

For me it’s not what I am looking for. I refuse to put quicktime,itunes or any other media from apple on my computer. They just don’t have enough  bugs worked out to keep me interested.

Apple to Brick Jailbroke Iphones

August 22nd, 2010 Tech News No comments

From Mashable, It seems that Apple is claiming their intentions for your use of their product. (Apple is bricking the hacked iphones. Again.)

On one end I understand why they don’t want you to modify or enhance their product. Their whole operating system is that way.

On the other end I understand why people get upset that they paid for something and should be able to use it how they want to.

That’s just apple. They create it, they tell you how to use it. Many accept that as a logical request. Others find that to be zombie like. I find it crippling by not allowing more people to create and innovate to evolve more in the directions that other people than Mac employees may think is next or most wanted.

But again they put a copyright on their product with a specific end user license agreement. When you buy their product you are at some time  given the EULA that you have to agree to before you can actually use the product. Most people do not read them. They just click ok and hurry into their new goodies.

So Enjoy your Iphone for what it is. :-)

Gmail Scam Ads

August 20th, 2010 TruXter No comments

And Google swears they monitor the ads they serve.

Picture of scam email in google

These people in the ads served by Google say they are there to back up your password.

How fricken Gullible are we these days ? is this simple of a scam working now?

Google … wake up
Scan your ads.
