From time to time, huge and famous social networking site like Facebook needs to develop into something new to keep their billions of users and to attract more. Being on top is not that easy to maintain, most especially when your competitors are just inches behind. The much talked about Facebook Timeline that has been introduced last September during the F8 conference is finally made available to all users. Facebook App Developers were the first one to make use of the interface and feedback were also taken from them. As usual it didn’t get all the positive ones just like any other new things being introduced to the world. For those who are shocked and…

If you’re playing bingo online like most of today’s current bingo players, you probably started many years ago, playing with mum or dad or even your beloved grandparents, long before home computers were even an idea. However, today’s players know that the game has evolved in a big way in recent years, thanks to the invention of the internet and the ensuing (and still growing) explosion of online bingo players across the globe. This fun-filled article will take a quick look at how the timeless game of bingo has evolved as it continues to change from a game that was once played exclusively in bingo halls to one that is now globally accepted as an…

While everyone’s still reading about how awesome this latest Android 4.0 is, and still wondering which gadget manufacturer could place it first, China is already selling that much anticipated gadget like breads. This Novo 7 runs in Android 4.0 a.k.a Ice Cream Sandwich and powered by 1GHz single core MIPS-based XBurst CPU with Vivante GC860 GPU core at $99. “Low cost, high performance tablets are a big win for mobile consumers and a strong illustration of how Android’s openness drives innovation and competition for the benefit of consumers around the world,” says Andy Rubin, senior vice president of mobile at Google. It comes in 7-inch capacitive multitouch screen and connectivity options include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and…

This is claimed to be first and the biggest Android dedicated store in the world by the Australian telecommunications and media company, Telstra. It occupies the 154sqm space of the company’s Bourke Street Melbourne outlet fully designed according to the Android’s apple-green-theme ambiance. It is basically the ‘Disneyland’ of Android gadgets with on-site ‘experts’ who were trained by Google to attend to all of the customers’ questions and queries about the software and the hardware. It is a huge place wherein you would be able to experience Google-related apps like Google Earth or perhaps playing your Angry Birds in a humongous screen. It will not only display the latest Android phones or tablets but would…

He once told his board of directors that if the day comes when he could no longer fulfill his duties as CEO; they would be the first to know. Well that day came and true to his promise, he told them… in a resignation letter with immediate effect. With that, Apple’s internal succession plan kicked into gear placing Tim Cook as the new CEO. Jobs, meanwhile, is now Chairman of the Board. For such as sudden move, it seems to me that his health condition is the primary reason. All this time, even during the years when he was out of the company, Steve is Apple and Apple is Steve. Here is a man who,…

Segway, move away; suddenly you look so obese. Awesome does not even begin to describe this ride. I mean, look at it. Oh, I realize you’re just looking and not reading. I can’t blame you. I was like that for a time. I just sat here stunned for I don’t know how long… spell-bound and rather half-expecting it to transform into an alien vixen robot. Alas, it didn’t; but I can dream. This hybrid bike is framed in carbon fiber-reinforced polymer, has an iPod dock, is chainless, and a gift from above. Wait, I got carried away on that last point. Chainless? So how does it run, you ask? Duh – hybrid, batteries – duh….

Paperless – oh that word. It’s been years since that concept and objective have been flaunted around. We do manage to achieve a certain level of “paperless-ness.” More than half of the people I know do not have printers in their home setup. And companies are having varying level of success (or failure) to rid themselves of paper. But what do you know… we still have paper, and for good reason. I still prefer my pen and pad for capturing ideas and random thoughts while on the go, or even when I’m still. Kindle is nice but I like physical books for many of my reading (but not carrying) pursuits. And so, now we have,…

Here’s something to complement those cool LED lights and reduce your electricity bills even further – a LED dimmer. But not just another dimmer, Lutron Electronics dimmers are made to work efficiently with CFLs and LED lights. Traditional dimmers usually fail to provide smooth and full-range dimming. They either have fixed setpoints (off, mid, full) or are unable to provide enough energy at low slider settings. Lutron’s C-L line of new dimmers use a technology they call HED that has improved circuitry to provide smooth dimming. Heck, it would even work with any dimmable light you have – LED, CFL, incandescent and halogen. And its thoughtful aesthetics will blend with your interiors. Each installed dimmer…

Almost six years ago, due to rising electricity cost and consumption, our household went on a mission to replace all our aging and power-hungry appliances. Almost nothing was spared – television, refrigerator, air conditioner, microwave, flat iron, lights, etc. The result? Nice-looking new gears and almost half-price savings on the electric bill on the same month. Mission accomplished. Of all those replaced, the fluorescent and incandescent lights were my pet peeves. Especially incandescent. We were replacing them yearly if not more frequent. After that, I liked the soft glow of our CFLs with a bit more brightness but at a much lower wattage. Now, I want the new Philips AmbientLED bulbs. These LED bulbs conserve…

Just when I thought that tablets have become ubiquitous, something comes along to prove I am wrong. It seems there is a segment in our society that is considered an untapped market for this gadget — babies. That’s right, folks, they’re making tablets for babies now. While there is no shortage of electronic devices that are made for babies, I wonder what area a tablet would satisfy. It turns out, nothing new. Generally, it’s still all about stimulating babies’ minds and senses. That’s not to say that something is wrong with that; the intention is good. You get a tablet that’s limited to that focus and nothing else. The Vinci Touchpad is one such device….
