Facebook without the Facebook app

Posted onAuthorTruXterLeave a comment

operaSo you have seen the warnings on the news and the internet about how intrusive Facebook can be with their new apps.
I get upset knowing that they can do this and people will install the applications anyway. What I am most bothered by is the fact that you need so many applications to use just one website. What I used to do with just one app, now requires three Facebook apps. No. I refuse and will not do this.
There is an alternative to using the Facebook app if you want to use Facebook on your mobile device.and a good alternative to Facebook app at that.

I use opera browser for Facebook. android version | Iphone Version
Also if you registered your phone number to Facebook, then go into setting (here)and you can get a text message feature added to your account so that you can send messages to Facebook via text message. once that is activated, send a text to Facebook saying “on”.
facebooknotifications
This way you get notifications when you get another text message.
when that becomes too much, send a message to Facebook saying “off” and it will turn notifications back off.

As you see in this image you can add shortcuts to the Opera browser that look just like the apps. just hit the pluss button next to the navigation bar to add the page to your favorites/bookmarks and your icon will be placed on the front page of your Opera install.

Opera works better than your default browser and ten fold better than chrome or Firefox.

GTA Vice City On Android and Iphone

Posted onAuthorTruXter

In celebration of ten years since the release of Grand Theft Auto Vice City, Rockstar games is releasing multiple items for sale in relation to vice city. One of course being the Vice City Game app for Iphone,Ipod,Ipad android devices such as android..
Vice City is the one game that everyone loved to play back in it’s release. In fact, at one time, the gang from MTAVC.COM Modded GTA VC to be a multiplayer video game, when it originally was not. The question I have to ask is, if you take the installer multiplayer modded files, and dragged them into your mobile device, can you get on the multiplayer servers and play MTAVCMobile??

Good question, is ” Will Rockstar games make another funny game like this one? Vice City was the more Humorous of the three games in that set (GTAIII GTAVC and GTASA).
Let’s hope that by the sells numbers from this cell phone app, Rockstar games sees what element in this one, makes it so great

Well none the less. Here’s a quote on Rockstar’s website

To celebrate the 10th anniversary, there will be a series of commemorative assets released, including never-before-seen artwork and a brand new anniversary trailer highlighting some of the most iconic scenes and music from the game. In addition, a limited run of collectable promotional items will be made available for purchase through the Rockstar Warehouse, with select items also available via online giveaways.

In conjunction with the anniversary, we’re pleased to announce that we’ll be releasing an Anniversary Edition of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City for select iOS and Android devices later this fall. This upcoming version will bring the full experience to mobile devices, featuring native high-resolution graphics and several enhancements unique to the iOS and Android platforms. Stay tuned for more details in the weeks ahead including a list of compatible iOS and Android devices.

Also, since Rockstar Games never did a San Andreas Stories, can we go ahead and assume there will me no GTA San Andreas for mobile?

Mobile Device Internet

Posted onAuthorTruXter

We find ourselves laying in bed late at night on our mobile devices, our cell phones our whatever pads, squinting at our tiny screens telling ourselves this is okay.
I have to say. This is not okay. Do you have any idea what we are doing to our eyes? Have you noticed that more and more people are having migraines lately?
I notice. I notice that my eyesight is getting worse and worse. If I don’t use my cell phone to surf the web for a short while, my eyes feel better.
Meanwhile the websites look junkier and simpler like it’s 1996 all over again. Text with a white background. Built simple so the mobile versions of good websites, load faster on your cell phone or android pad or iphone or ipad. Yet we are paying ungodly amounts for this “fast mobile internet”.

What do we do with this convenient service and device? We check our email, and we check our facebook status. That’s it.
What’s on your facebook page? a bunch of motivational picture that everyone is sharing and saying “Oh, that’s so me”.

There just doesn’t seem to be enough value in this.

Why not optimize for Mobile

Posted onAuthorTech Review Man

Why not optimize for Mobile
because mobile devices need to evolve and become more compatible with today’s standards. Why would we roll back our current knowledge and technology to be more compatible with the hardware that is half hearted and incomplete but being sold as new technology just because it is touch screen?
Touch screen is many years old and a fail attempt back in the day. Nothing new is going on with touch screen to make it any better than it was 12 years ago. If we have to make our websites have a special section just for certain mobile devices, then the manufacturers of said mobile devices need to get with the times.
The longer we cater to the needs of the hardware manufacturers, the longer we will be stuck in this rut of no evolution.
Time and time again I have to warn you, that software should always exceed the hardware, and hardware manufacturers need to get off their rump and advance or stay on the porch and call their junk beta and prototype and quit pawning it off as current technology and finished product.
There is no reason that I should create a website m.truxtertech.com .
If you are on a mobile browser and can not see this website then your mobile browser sucks and need to get one that works. Try Opera moni browser.
