Review: HP Pavilion DM1 Laptop
HP recently launched the HP Pavilion DM1, that despite the company consider it a notebook, it clearly has the features and functionality of a netbook, but with updated features. The end result is a laptop that surprises with its great performance, the ability to upgrade hardware and the features that make the model a "small laptop" and not a mini-laptop.
The netbook market is in full decline, making room for the tablets, they gain more and more users. After all, is a proposal that offers an easier time of transport, and offers a simpler than using a machine full of buttons and knobs. However, netbooks are still resisting, because a large portion of productivity that users need the physical keyboard provides.
Below, our impressions of the product.
Screen
The HP Pavilion DM1 screen is 11.6 inches with a resolution of 1336 x 768 pixels. The screen has good brightness level, and an ability to reproduce images with backlit display level satisfactory. Play videos in high definition for this screen is not a problem since the Pavilion DM1 has a competent video card. The dimensions of the screen allow comfortable interaction with all elements of the operating system, thereby increasing user productivity.
Another interesting detail of your screen is that it can move to a position of 180 degrees, becoming parallel to the body of the netbook. This feature can be useful for those who want to use the product in alternative situations, such as on-board computer for the car, or public terminal data entry.
Design and physical details
The laptop has modern lines with a design that should appeal to younger users. His casting in gray with a black exterior finish with details printed form a visually interesting combination. Why not have a connector for network cables, the model is thinner than the old netbooks, which makes it convenient to carry in a backpack or purse.
Your keyboard is also noteworthy. By relying on a larger screen, the keyboard size increases. According to HP, the Pavilion's keyboard DM1 has 95% of the total size of a conventional notebook computer keyboard, and in practice, we have a very comfortable keyboard.
The company took full advantage of the area of space, leaving little left over at the sides, and full-size keys comfortable enough for a quiet typing. No time wasted to fit your layout, since all the keys are the same as a conventional keyboard. Some keys have small LEDs, indicating that they are active, making visual identification of these functions.
Its touchpad area is wide and includes features to zoom in and zoom out in the form of tweezers, making Web surfing more convenient. However, during testing, the touchpad proved very sensitive, which can disrupt a little when typing, especially if you run into any part of the hand on the touchpad.
Another interesting highlight is the HP Pavilion DM1 do not have any type of screw holding the bottom cover of the laptop. He has a sort of removable plastic top, like a lid of a cell, which protects the internal components of the device. This allows a hardware upgrade more practical and simple. This plastic cover has an emission of heat much more tolerable than other netbooks with the same characteristics, making their use more bearable in the lap.
Features and performance
The HP Pavilion DM1 proved excellent during practical tests. Even in its most basic (DM1-3250br, with 2 GB RAM, 320 GB HD and Windows 7 Starter), its performance is much better than the competitors with the same characteristics. This is explained by its E-350 AMD, which despite having speed of 1.66 GHz, is a dual-core processor, working in partnership with a graphics card AMD Mobility Radeon HD 6310, can offer the user a final performance similar to some notebooks with more powerful processors.
About your battery life, a more positive point for the HP laptop. In tests, the model easily reached the five hours of use away from the outlet, with several active resources (one day of normal usage with WiFi and Bluetooth turned on, browsing the internet constantly, production and viewing of text and some video), and depending on screen brightness settings and features active or disconnected, this may be even greater autonomy.
The energy management program HP is competent, and produces the battery saving without reducing the performance of the laptop.
Both the Starter version with Windows 7 as the version with Windows 7 Home Basic operating system performance was very good, with good response from opening web pages and running applications. What disturbs some are the traditional programs and resources that are triggered during system startup, but that can be customized by the user, to improve startup performance.
Cost / benefit
For those who need mobility, but a performance close to conventional notebooks, the HP Pavilion DM1 is an excellent choice. For the price offered (between R $ 998.00 and R $ 1,298.00, depending on the configuration chosen), it offers a performance of a traditional notebook, but in a product with reduced dimensions.
In addition, for those users who require an even greater performance, the model allows an upgrade of RAM for up to 8 GB, allowing the use of a version of Windows 7 64-bit. This makes the cost / benefit of excellent model, and one of the best proposals for those who do not want to abandon the productivity of a QWERTY keyboard.
Update: Fixing the information passed in review, the HP netbook has a small entrance to the cable network, located next to the VGA input. The entrance is not visible as the other models, being "hidden" and integrated into the design. This shows one more point efficiency model, and HP's commitment to make the most of your design, since this RJ-45 port is integrated into the thickest point of the netbook (on the opposite side, we have the power connector) .

Review: Nokia X2-01
One of the trend of the phone market now is the supply of phones with QWERTY keyboard in low-cost devices. The goal is to win over users who are still discovering the world of smartphones, or those who have financial resources to acquire a good smartphone. These phones are gaining a big slice of market with a simple proposal, but higher than that of simple cells that make and receive calls. Nokia E-01 X2 is one of these phones.
QWERTY keyboard, this is the cheapest model of the Finnish manufacturer, and offers smart features for users who want to stay connected without many complications. Below, we examine some of its features and to find out if the device can be a good option for those just starting out in this world.
Design
The model adopts the design bar, one piece, reminiscent of the models of Nokia E-Series (E71, E63, E72, etc.). It comes in two color options principal, and in both cases (black / graphite and white / gray) he showed a very elegant phone, with a slight curvature that makes it more comfortable to meet and receive calls. With a few visual details, it can even pass for a smartphone more expensive at first glance.
The phone is also well served in the access buttons. The user can access items such as calendar, text messaging, email, FM radio, music player and contacts via hotkeys, which can be customized by the user. This makes the device very practical, especially for new users.
QWERTY keyboard
This is the highlight of the Nokia X2-01: it follows the tradition of the Nokia offering excellent physical keyboards (for many, the best), and in this model is no different. The keys have a perfect size, with a curved relief on each key so that the act of typing is fast and accurate. Users with larger thumbs will get that model type with ease, and even less experienced users will not have problems to develop a good typing on the device. For the purpose that has the X2-01 (speed in time to update social networks), the keyboard is just perfect.
Camera
The camera of Nokia X2-01 is VGA resolution (640 x 480 pixels), that is, a very low resolution. But here there is a coherent explanation for this choice: we must remember that this model only has EDGE connectivity, ie no 3G or WiFi Assuming the owners of this mobile please send photos to your favorite social networks, the most practical for that sending photos happen is that these photos are at the lowest resolution possible, making the process feasible with this data traffic. Thus, the most demanding can not expect much of this camera. It was made for those who just want to have a commitment to send pictures, and nothing more.
The camera can also record videos up to 320x240 maximum capacity of the machine's memory card. With these videos is even possible to upload them to YouTube, but the end result may not please, either by their low resolution, or by their low rate of frames per second (15 FPS).
Connectivity
Being a low-cost proposal, the Nokia X2-01 only has EDGE connectivity for internet browsing. Therefore, users of this model need to have a certain amount of patience to surf the web and update social networks. We note that worked well with Nokia Symbian S40 optimizes it for the maximum data rate for their social applications (Twitter, Facebook and Orkut), which makes the use of these resources a little less time consuming. On the other hand, the push-mail service is still time consuming and problematic. In addition, the model comes with Bluetooth, which is a good advantage for a device in its price range.
Operating System
X2-01 Nokia uses the Symbian S40, the most basic version of Symbian, which in recent months received several modifications and improvements. Although a limited system, it has a clean and simple interface, now with a speed more acceptable than in earlier versions. Who has never used a smartphone will not have difficulty using the phone, thanks to the simple menus and icons identifying the major functions.
Cost-benefit
Nokia X2-01 is a good unit for those who really do not want to spend a lot on the phone with a physical QWERTY keyboard. Its features are essential for those who want minimal connectivity to social networks and basic navigation on the Internet. It is the cheapest option in the Nokia of its features. However, with a slightly larger investment you can purchase the Nokia C3, which is the most successful model among phones with features of smartphones (since it has Wi-Fi, which is a differential that must be considered when buying ).

Google now reads Google's photo gallery
The application for Googles Android won the update to version 1.6 a feature that makes the app much more useful and easy to use: take a picture, save it and when you want, open the app to crawl the content of the photo by Google. Before, this was only possible to tracking taking photos within the app.
Google lets you see objects in photos and information from almost any existing thing. For this, it sends this file to Google's servers and it provides the user with other similar photographs of the same traits sent, returning relevant information, for example, a site or board on which you are looking for information.
The same can apply to local restaurants, museums, cities, or even landscapes. Now, in this version 1.6, the app is also integrated with the cameras on Android smartphones - that is, no need to access the application to take the picture and get information. It will work automatically: when the user take a picture, the application will access Google's servers and will scan as soon offering the results.
If there is any detection of elements like images, you will be notified instantly by the application. However, please note that this is a service that the user chooses whether to keep on or not. To activate, simply enter the menu and select Google Googles "search from the camera."
Version 1.6 is now available and can be downloaded here. It works on devices with Android 2.1 or later.

Future Intel chips will allow the battery one day in ultrabooks
The battery life of computers is something that all companies involved in manufacturing of PCs trying to improve, either in software or hardware. Intel is certainly doing his part, at least with regard to the new darlings of the portable computer industry, the ultrabooks. The chip maker announced today that it is developing a new energy management system, called Haswell, which will improve the efficiency of batteries up to 20 times.
The chips that come with this system, according to Intel CEO Paul Otellini, combined with the latest advances in Microsoft's Windows 8 will allow ultrabooks reach up to 1 day and 10 days battery standby connected. What this means is that the computer does not turn off completely, still connected to the network and receive updates, but using very little energy. Otellini also ensures that energy savings will not compromise a computer's performance.
This new standard is not exactly for the current ultrabooks, but for those about to be launched in the distant year of 2013. The current ultrabooks to reach acceptable levels of battery life between 7 and 9 hours depending on the manufacturer. But 24 hours of battery standby time and 10 days sounds like a feature that is worth the wait. Especially if it comes accompanied by a drop in prices since the current ultrabooks come in range of a thousand dollars out there.

Visual presence in the Metro brand new Xbox 360 Dashboard
Here comes a new look for the Xbox 360 dashboard. According to Terry Farrell, Senior Product Manager of Xbox Live Entertainment, the new interface was developed according to feedback from users of the platform. Microsoft realized that there was several problems with the old interface, such as blog Joystiq says "nonsense."
One reason also was to create a unique layout for both those who have Kinect (which sold more than 10 million devices) both to those who still had control.
New interface panel Xbox Live
The new layout is a union of the two forms of access. Using the control you can choose different destinations at the top, such as Games, Video, Music and Apps. You can also access any promotional area. The voice recognition is available in Kinect to access a specific category of the island.
The function for the moment only available in countries in which Microsoft is launching its search engine voice: Canada, USA and England.
It will also be implemented a widely used search engine called Google Bing. With this implementation, where you are (on the Xbox, of course), you can access a variety of content. One example was made by Farrell himself, speaking: "Xbox, Bing Batman." And so was shown a list containing a series of results and displaying these results were games, movies or a show.
When talking about "Xbox, games show," the results were showing only redefined Batman games.

Meet the super-tablet made especially for testing Windows 8
Microsoft made a good deed to provide for the attendees what the company calls PC Developer Preview at Conference. I'm talking about a tablet with external keyboard with superpowers that will make you drool. Specifications, taking into account the size of the animal, are exquisite.
Manufactured by Samsung, the PC Developer Preview has the first online resource for developers wanting to create apps with visual Metro, the future new standard that Windows wants to adopt.
Developer Preview PC made by Samsung
Follow the specifications:
Intel Core i5 (clock not shown).
DDR3 RAM: 4 GB.
Storage: 64 GB SSD.
Display with a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels.
UEFI BIOS (Quick Start).
HDMI, MicroSD, USB, and stylus.
Connection: Free 3G offered by AT & T for 12 months.
Weights and measures: 909g.
Steven Sinofsky, director responsible for Microsoft's Windows division, had his moment of Oprah Winfrey to announce that all participants gain a Build these. Details: 5 000 participants are registered. Too bad I was not there in California to win one of those too and write a review for the very complete TB - if you're a player and won these, please!
The Developer Preview PC runs (of course) Windows Developer Preview 8. According to Sinofsky, the device was created both to test the new system and to develop applications for it. If it gives some cucumber, it seems pretty easy to recover Windows 8 for some time that things were working.
For the rest of us just left the option to enter the site Dev Center in Windows 8 and download the Developer Preview, which will be released for free today at dawn. But without technical support, installation is at your own risk.

At that time it was said that robozão offer its services to two university hospitals as a way of testing. Approved with honors in student life, now Watson won his first post in the labor market.
In his new role, Watson will be responsible for reviewing medical histories, keep up to date on scientific research and to help WellPoint doctors to identify what's wrong with their patients. IBM says Watson 200 is capable of analyzing millions of pages of data and to answer any questions precosão in less than three seconds.
"Imagine having all the information about the patient's history, such as symptoms, findings, and similar cases and then use the analytical capabilities of Watson, with state of the art knowledge of clinical and medical literature to help provide guidance in the diagnosis and treatment of a patient, "said Sam Nussbaum, Register to the site.
Watson uses a system called DeepQA to manage your information and research among its database of information. In addition, he is able to understand human language to improve the quality of results.
Still in implementation phase, Watson will begin offering its services to physicians in the WellPoint earlier this year.

The version with WiFi and 3G will sell for about U.S. $ 668.00 while the PS version with WiFi Vita will be around U.S. $ 556.00. Nothing as yet on when the device will be available outside the country.
Blue Screen of Death in Windows 8 was less gloomy
We Windows users who already know the past of the platform, we are accustomed to the familiar BSOD or blue screen of death in good Portuguese. It appears when we least expect it and usually much descriptive before forcing the inevitable reboot. But Windows 8, which had its pre-released for download yesterday, at Microsoft decided that it would be a little less boring. And it seems he could.
The new blue screen was more friendly, and now has a smiley (which seems to stare at the unfortunate owner of the computer, trying to offer some comfort to ease the pain of probable data loss or corrupted files. The rest of the wording in free translation are "Your PC has encountered a problem that could not control and now need to reboot. You can search online for the error" followed by the error string. Below is an accountant who takes a few seconds before the reboot.
Obviously this is just the preview release of Windows 8 and there is no guarantee that we will see it in the future, when the system is released. But we hope that more friendly version of this BSOD is maintained.

Facebook launches subscriptions for updates button
Facebook has enabled a feature that seems more along the lines of something that has existed since the launch of Twitter. The signature button allows a member to receive updates from social networking from a person without being her friend. This would be tantamount to follow someone on Twitter, since it eliminates the user's approval for the updates to be sent.
What Facebook did basically was make life easier for stalkers who do not need to seek more information about the people who are targets of his obsession: updates simply sign a limb and expect the information arrives. Fortunately, those responsible for privacy within the social network has learned their lesson and did not activate the new functionality for everyone. You have to go on this page to let subscribers more than anything.
After the signing of a profile is activated, the user can still choose your level of stalking preferred amount of updates, ranging from receiving all updates from a person or only the most important as a new job or a change in status relationship, for example. Only posts marked as public will be sent to subscribers.
This button disappears after signing two members become friends on the network and subscriptions and subscribers of a Facebook member to activate this functionality is available for anyone to see, along with other items in the sidebar. I hope there is a way to disable it and if not, Facebook should create.
Another interesting detail: this feature seems to only be available for over 18 years.

Google knows where are the cheapest airline tickets
After a long period of gap between the company's purchase ITA Software and launching something new, this week Google introduced Google Flights. As the service name suggests, the search firm is to centralize information about airline flights and tickets on a particular page of your powerful research system.
For now only working in the United States, Google Flights allows the user to verify dates and flight times, depending on the origin city and destination city. As with any type of service, Google lets you filter the information to show only certain travel between two airports, for example, travel or just happening on a certain day of the week.
In announcing the purchase of ITA Software in July 2010 already knew that Google would face complaints from other companies that do the same thing. A group of software companies focused on including aviation litigation initiated and launched a campaign to shed light on the supposed advantage of Googlepólio. In the end, the U.S. court ruled that the deal could be realized, since the search giant to license technology to other companies ITA.
Flights operating on Google
From what I see, Google is a kind of Flights Decolar.com captained by a huge company that has established itself on the Internet. The great advantage that Google does this release is to link the search of type 'flight from Chico to New York' to the results available on Flights - one way to bring more convenience to Internet users.
How could it be, Google takes a portion of the price paid by passengers to buy travel tickets after making a Google search on Flights. Fair enough (and is a standard procedure in such sites).

Know Lubuntu Software Center, the soft option of Ubuntu Center Programs
Lubuntu users (and other distros Ubuntu variants) had a problem when downloading and installing programs: the lack of a lead program manager, forcing them to use synaptic. But that is about to change, as some developers began to develop the Lubuntu Software Center, a lightweight version of the Central Program.
Though still a very early stage of development, the Lubuntu Software Center fills a gap in Lubuntu: the lack of a simple and friendly interface to install programs.
Synaptic is a great application for more advanced users, but not friendly. And for a distro that aims to be as light as possible, the standard Software Center Ubuntu is too heavy and would need to load several files of GNOME. Simply unthinkable.
Lubuntu The Software Center has no effect cute graphic, and even some options are missing (such as the classification system of programs, reviews and other resources), but the general idea is that it is just that: a simple and lightweight program. If you use Lubuntu 11.04 or 11.10, you can install the program with the following commands (in terminal)
sudo apt-add-repository ppa: lubuntu-desktop/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install Lubuntu-software-center
After that, just run the program in terminal (or ALT + F2 command) by typing "Lubuntu-software-center" (without the quotes). As always, remember that the program is still an early stage of development and should not be installed in production environments.

Just joy in the headquarters of Intel
The giant Intel announced on Wednesday that its second generation Core chip family sold no less than 75 million units since its arrival in stores earlier this year, becoming just the processor with the best initial sales of the history of company.
The announcement was made by Molly Eden, vice president and general manager of the PC Client Group (a division of Intel dedicated to producing components for personal computers) during the conference Intel Developer Forum (IDF), which is happening in San Francisco. And yes, Molly is the name of a man.
Ultrabook of Intel-powered Toshiba
According to Eden, now a million computers are sold every day, with developing countries' leading sales growth. "
In stores since January of this year, the new Core family processors (i3, i5, and i7) are built on Sandy Bridge microarchitecture with 32nm transistors, allowing better performance indices with moderate consumption of electricity. In May, they gave rise to ultrabooks, family of chips that allows production of a large notebook "thin, light and beautiful" that offer a good performance at low cost.
During his presentation, Eden said he hopes that ultrabooks further expand global sales of the company, both in rich countries as in developing countries.

Apple deletes a game that shows the dirty side of smartphones
Without a lot of explaining, Apple withdrew from its App Store game Phone Story, a collection of mini games that show the dark side of the production of smartphones.
Phone Story served just right in the hood Apple
The game was developed by an Italian company called Molleindustria, known from other carnivals because of games like Oligarchy, in which the player embodies a tycoon with a mission to exhaust the resources of the planet. She also produced Pedopriest Operation on the Catholic Church and his sex scandals.
Phone Story In the player must meet four series of missions, including a stage where you should use a stretcher to prevent employees from committing suicide by throwing the stories that worked - a clear reference to the suicides that have happened in the production plant installed at Foxconn Chinese city of Shengzen and responsible for assembling the iPhone and iPad, among other gadgets.
"In Phone Story players are complicit in the slave extraction of minerals in Congo, outsourced labor in China, the dumping of electronic waste in Pakistan and consumerism in the West," say its creators, ensuring that all profit generated by the application is designed for organizations that combat corporate abuse.

Internet Explorer adheres to the rapid development cycle
Overshadowed the party on Monday due to the presentation of the official presentation of the Windows Developer Preview 8, Internet Explorer Platform Preview 10 - which as the name implies is a testbed for the next generation of Microsoft's browser hated - came earlier this week.
Besides the old commitment to be more compatible with web standards, now the program also comes with a responsibility to give life to the apps of the newest generation of the operating system of their parent company.
According to Microsoft, under the hood the new Internet Explorer should be compatible with a variety of patterns, gradients, shadows and 3D transformations with CSS3, HTML5 cache for applications, among other technical enhancements.
In addition, its interface was redesigned to be all used in devices with touch screen.

It was also confirmed that after its release Microsoft will get in on the Chrome and Firefox, imposing a policy of rapid development for new versions of your program that will be updated at intervals of 12 weeks.
But the big news of the program will be the responsibility of giving life to the web application interface present in Metro's new operating system. All of these new apps initial screen of Windows 8 will actually web applications running on the slightly IE10 directly on the screen of the system. According to MS, this news will allow developers to have greater flexibility to create their own applications.
Those interested in testing the new version of Internet Explorer, bad news: for now it only comes loaded with Windows 8, but versions compatible with Windows 7 should appear soon.

Almost a direct Windows Movie Maker on YouTube
Not always that video you made in haste with your camera phone out with the best picture: blurred, unsatisfactory lighting and lack of color are examples of common mistakes that can paint in home production. Fortunately YouTube has a public commitment to help improve these videos. On Thursday the company just announced a new tool for corrections in uploaded videos.
"Edit Video"
The new tool works well for movies yet to be uploaded to YouTube as to the contents available on the site long ago. To drive it, just click the button labeled "Edit video" that will appear in the pages of videos - unless you're using the experimental interface Cosmic Panda, which still does not give access to the resource.
When you open the screen video editing will find various settings for your videos. Right away we have a stabilizer for shaky recordings - Google Research, a research center of the company, even published a paper (PDF) describing how the system works, which saves a lot of processing servers YouTube.
Editing video on YouTube | Click for larger view
Still have to modify the image by rotating it left or right, to set the orientation (right at the times they recorded with the phone the wrong way). If the video does not begin and end in the appropriate moments, the ability to cut gives a chance to correct this by defining a timeline that is displayed to Internet users on YouTube. Not to mention the picture adjustments: fill light, contrast, saturation and temperature of the image.
At least in my experience changing the video settings a bit slow to appear on the screen. In professional applications such changes are simultaneous, then you kind of already have to know what to do. Or click the "I'm Feeling Lucky", which automatically corrects it all according to parameters determined electronically.
The second tab of the video editing tool is the coolest. There are the effects to add in the video. These are basic things, but they are a joy that student media in his first contact with advanced editing software. It has black and white, sepia, pixelated, similar image of the cartoon, and pink neon, whose name explains much of the disaster that is coming with the next click, among others.
To complete the audio tab to insert a new soundtrack in the video. I may be wrong, but I think I've seen this feature available when the video contains audio from third parties that can not be played on the Google video site. Instead of simply taking the air the video, the user can choose a song to put over the entire audio.
Before and after
I got an old video, made during the test Windows 7 Phone without any editing. Watch below.
(YouTube Video)
And edit it, correcting the video settings, adding effects and even putting a new music track over the audio of me talking about the system. See there.
(YouTube Video)
You enjoyed the result? Give your opinion in the comments of this text. For my part, I think that Google is launching a Windows Movie Maker directly to YouTube. The editing tool fulfills many of the features of the most basic video editor that exists in the market (and with the ease of not having to install anything on the machine).
The YouTube video that explains modified with up to 1,000 views can be exchanged for the old version of the modified version immediately. For those with more than a thousand views there is need to save the video as if it were a new upload, the date of transmission is marked as the day of issue.
And best of all: the original version of the video is saved on Google servers. If for some reason you regret having used neon pink, just go on your list of videos and restore.

Google takes another victory in the Brazilian courts
The Superior Court of Justice (STJ) decided on Wednesday (14/09) that Google Brazil does not have an obligation to make prior control over messages posted on Orkut. A user asked the justice to compensation for moral damages after being the target of insults posted on social networking pages.
The decision of the Third Class of the court is an enormous victory for the world's largest search engine (today, a very complete company in various segments of the large network). It was decided that Google needs to keep track of the IP users and to comply with the removal of content that is considered offensive. But not previously, as called for that viewer.
This dispute is ancient. In the first instance, the judge ruled that Google should delete a photo album and messages perceived as offensive, and to pay compensation of U.S. $ 8,300 for the internet. Google has tried to appeal the decision before the Court of Justice of Minas Gerais (TJMG), a higher court, but lost again because the magistrate found that the company assumed the risk of misuse of the service by offering Orkut to anyone with Internet access .
In the most recent decision, the company says in his defense that can not be held responsible for the messages - after all, the company had no share in the creation of the profile that published the comments taken as offensive by the complainant.
The author of the message
Minister for Nancy, to control in advance the contents of a message would be tantamount to breaking the secrecy of communications. This behavior is forbidden by the famous Article 5 of the Constitution, which deals with the individual and collective freedoms. There is written in the law that "is free expression of intellectual, artistic, scientific and communication, without any censorship or license."
Besides the case for Google to make perfect sense, it must be remembered that the decision opens a precedent for future cases that eventually companies will suffer because of the Internet activity of certain users.

No games on the iPhone, Nintendo president guarantees
I bet he frustrated the desires of some iPhone owners. Anyway, is this: The Honorable Satoru Iwata, Nintendo president, said in an interview there in Japan that games for the Apple smartphone - or any smartphone to be precise - will not be released in a future so near.
"This is absolutely out of the question," Mr. Iwata said in an interview. So tell those present at the interview, the president of the Big N has proved resolute and determined that the decision not to open. It is said that there is no chance of Nintendo releasing games for mobile phones at least as Iwata continue leading the company.
In a way, the news is hardly astounding. Nintendo has a history of launching their own games only for devices made by it. Whether the Nintendo 3DS sold several million units while the iPhone and iPod Touch are counted in the hundreds of millions, the company is intent on not to venture into the cell.
On another occasion the same Iwata had told shareholders that it will not open the games for Nintendo's other platforms. Let's see how long it will last with that decision.

Microsoft Snubs Adobe Flash on Windows 8 tablets
During the Build Conference Microsoft demonstrated several new features of Windows 8, its next operating system that should serve for both desktops and notebooks as well as for tablets. Only in tablets Microsoft decided to follow in the footsteps of Apple and completely ignore the existence of Flash. The company said the 10 Internet Explorer installed on these devices will not have the required plugin to display such content.
Internet Explorer 10: without Flash.
The reason, according to lead developer of Internet Explorer Dean Hachamovitch, do not use Flash "ensures a longer battery life and improves the security and privacy to consumers." And not just Adobe that Microsoft plans to ignore: no plugin can be installed in the browser with Windows on tablets 8. Instead, the company plans to implement support for web standards like HTML5 and CSS.
Adobe, on being informed of this fact, said it "believes that Flash will remain extremely popular on Windows computers." Among the few mobile platforms where Flash is still present, we have the tablet with Playbook Android and BlackBerry, RIM. Apple itself has stopped selling MacBook Air with Flash pre-installed and said it helped to increase battery life by up to 2 hours.

The two characters that break the Google search
A programmer named Rob Coenen eventually discovered yesterday that there is even a character string capable of breaking Google, but does not contain lyrics. This is the sequence $ {.
Apparently if you search for these two characters in any version of Google, whether mobile or desktop, the search results page not only will not display any link (does anyone ever typed these two characters together on the web?) But will be distorted in some browsers. I tested both Firefox and Chrome as in this screen appeared in both.
The technical explanation of why this bug happens has not been discovered, but there are discussions going on on that page and this one and I will not even pretend to understand. It involves luck and a whole JavaScript code that is open all at once, can give the impression that you're in the Matrix.
I will take the Google Developer Day is happening and ask for our correspondent Thássius Veloso Google search for any developer to answer this important question.

New Google Chrome: API Audio, Native Client and fewer bugs in Mac OS
Google two days back released a version of its Chrome browser that brings two novelties, the API for web audio and Native Client. They follow the same tradition that the web giant has maintained in recent times, that seems to Chrome less online support and more features related to Web standards Both were already being tested in the distribution channel beta, but now finally migrated to the stable channel.
The new audio API allows web pages have expanded their audio features. This API can, according to Google, "dynamically position and mix multiple audio channels in a three-dimensional space" and also has a "powerful modular routing system" and a "convolution engine." These last two seem to be quite important given the complicated names in English, so I hope you make good use of them.
The second novelty is called Native Client that allows developers to run applications written in C and C + + directly from Chrome, safely because of its sandbox. For now only the applications available in Chrome Web Store is allowed to run, but Google has pledged to remove this restriction soon.
Besides the two new Google also released a new stable version of Chrome for Mac OS X specific settings which won best to work at the Lion. This version was far better adapted to the scroll bars, brings home to support a full-screen mode and (probably most importantly) had several bugs that left the unstable Chrome tidy.

Game of the week: Heli Attack 2
game's goal: is to destroy as many helicopters as possible. Your player starts with a simple machine gun, but as you gain new weapons are being destroyed enemies. And the difficulty increases with time.
In addition to the various weapons that can drop from a parachute (literally), you can still use the Super Jump power and neo-Slow Motion. If you know and use the Shotgun, is capable of shooting down a helicopter with a few shots. Or you can simply appeal to the Rail Gun and show them who's boss.
The controls are easy, although I think the default setting clumsy: Arrows to move, CTRL to use the super jump, Shift to turn on the slow-motion and END to swap weapons. I fretted and changed the setting to WASD, Q and E for Super Jump to swap weapons. Shift stayed the same. The problem is that S turns off the sound and I'm too lazy to change it.
When I was younger, I had my mind free and quick reflexes to train. Would destroy thousands of helicopters in this game, but I'm too rusty (I managed to take down after some 52 attempts). How can you destroy?

Orkut and Google+ will continue to exist simultaneously
Google Developer Day 2011 began with a lecture by James Whittaker, who responds as director of engineering at the Internet company.
What was the ninja code you've written?
In his presentation, James swabbed on topics as varied as Android and Google Chrome. However, the most interesting revelations - and less technical - just came in the segment of the keynote on social tools. "Google + is not only a social network, the service was done to make the entire web social," she says.
Plans for Google +, according to James, are very high. The chief engineer Google says the idea is to put the +1 button across the internet, no matter which site is that the user is accessing. "Why send an email, not a completely social experience," asks James in a play of rhetoric. During the presentation, a colleague showed the implementation of the button on the website Rotten Tomatoes, the film analysis - Google pushed the button +1, wrote a brief comment on the page for the film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 and then decided to share the page with only circle "Wizards and Witches" (the audience laughed out loud, of course).
Like this story is Orkut? "Orkut and Google + are two different products with different missions. We will continue investing in both, "replied the engineer has at his news conference after the keynote. The two social networks have APIs for integration with third-party applications (the Google + were announced yesterday), so that innovation is the responsibility of each developer to exploit this potential.
James Plus remember that Google is not yet fully open. Meanwhile, Orkut is still open and doing very successful in Brazil (although the record Ibope that Facebook has surpassed the social network in August). "Orkut has a clear penchant for communities," added Felix Ximenes, responsible for corporate communications of Google Brazil.
Asked about a possible migration of users of Orkut to Google + James said that this is possible and the opposite too. Using the two social networks is also a possibility, he says. And he concludes by saying he is confident in the ability to innovate Orkut team. "Some of the Orkut owns his own destiny," he says.
Highlights: Android, Chrome and more
Here are the highlights of the speech and subsequent press conference by James Whittaker, director of engineering at Google.
James Whittaker, director of engineering at Google
Activations Android. Were 60,000 per day in February 2010. In December of that year had risen to 300,000 per day. The most recent data indicate Google's 550,000 daily activations in July 2011.
Android Market. More than 250 thousand apps available for download. As for apps for tablets, there are no plans to create a section specifically for the tablet software within the Market.
Modern browsers. In Brazil, considered modern browsers are used by 63.78% of Internet users. In the world and this figure rises slightly to 66.17% - indicating that two out of three browsers are able to run web apps more complex and complete.
Updates Chrome. "We try to update the Chrome in the same way we update our web-based services: a transparent and smooth, without the user noticing."
End of the Wave. "It was a decision of Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Some products are adopted en masse by users, others do not. We need to go in the direction that users point. "
Google App Engine. The platform for hosting applications apps have 200,000 registered members and no fewer than 150,000 developers are registered there. The site generates 1.5 billion page views per month, being among the 10 most visited sites among the properties in the Google network.
Ice Cream Sandwich. "I love that name! I'm always hungry when I use my smartphone. "Other than that, James said simply did not know when the next version of Android will be released.

Rumor: iPad 3 is being produced in Brazil
Rumors raised by the DigiTimes site - specializing in business from Asian companies technology - realize that the Foxconn factory in Brazil will debut in style, delivering the future iPad Tupiniquins three stores until next December, even before even their arrival in stores.
According to the site, the plant installed in Jundiaà is "ready" to begin production of the yet-announced third-generation apple tablet. "It is expected that Apple will start selling the new generation at the beginning of the iPad, 2012, but as the Foxconn plant in the country will start operating soon, it is highly likely that it will begin producing the iPad has three," says site.
Earlier this week Aloizio Mercadante, the Minister of Science and Technology, said that Foxconn already produced the first Brazilian unit of the unit and its first units were to land in stores in time for Christmas.
Despite misinformation regarding the production of the device, we know that the deadlines are relatively advanced in relation to the initial planning. At the announcement of local production iPad expectations were that the first units of the device came in early 2012.

Motorola will update Android in Atrix and Milestone 2
Motorola will release the Android update to version 2.3 Gingerbread on smartphones Milestone 2 and Atrix. The two devices, considered the top line by the company have more than enough specs to get the update.
Motorola Atrix
Now you can be sad: the company did not report the dates on which the Atrix and Milestone 2 will have their system upgraded to a newer version.
"It's important to remember that we were the first manufacturer to perform an update in Brazil, and two of them in a Milestone for Defy," the company wrote in a statement, they affirmed that the update is one of the "most desired by the customer" .
This is the same argument in court that Motorola did not upgrade to Motorola's Android Dext of a consumer. The consumer alleges that the same device, called with another brand name in the United States, received a newer version of the Google platform, while the Brazilian ships were waiting to see the update came here.
Motorola has a specific page that centralizes all announcements related to software versions of Android.

In hands with ZTE Skate running Android 2.3
ZTE launched last week in Brazil during the 2011 Futurecom another of their devices with Android, Skate, announced there had been a while. He arrives in stores today live in São Paulo and in shops operating in the rest of the country in the coming weeks. And the price he pays will be sold not appear too much to expect the other carriers: are $ 849 (prepaid) for an Android nothing modest.
The ZTE Skate comes with a 4.3 inch screen with a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels, 800 MHz processor, 512 MB RAM, 5 megapixel camera with LED flash and auto focus, and the trio of connectivity that accompanies most Androids: Bluetooth, WiFi and GPS. It runs Android 2.3.4 and ZTE has no plans to upgrade it to the next version of Android, do not buy that hope.
Still, the Skate Android seems to be a good and cheap, which could be popular in Brazil. Although it may seem kind of big in the hand, he has a good grip, is light and it seemed pretty fast. I never run anything intensive application in the five minutes that I played with him, but did not notice any lag or performance loss. And for what it delivers in specifications, certainly worth the price.
In Brazil, Vivo has the exclusive sales Skate for three months. And it is being sold tied to an 12-month contract in the plan by 100 Live Smartphone R $ 329.00.
PS.: The photos were taken with an iPhone 3G because the smart here forgot to charge the camera battery.

Microsoft demonstrates Windows Developer Preview 8
Now just recently in California conference, in which Microsoft executives have a lot of news regarding the company's products for developers eager to source new. The ball is the time Windows 8, the next version of the operating system that probably will not be called "Windows 8."
In summary, the MS releases the first version of today Win8 for developers.
Windows Developer Preview 8 is available today through the night of the Dev Center site, which is part of MSDN, the Microsoft Developer Network. The company promises that developers will have very easily to create visual applications with Metro (the same as Windows 7 Phone) using combinations of HTML5 and JavaScript, C and C + + and C # and XAML.
Of course they are mainly touting the use of JavaScript and HTML 5 - would be a quick and convenient way, using the same language now widely available on the Internet to build truly functional applications.
More: Meet the super-tablet made especially for testing Windows 8
The demonstration of Windows 8 shows some good news. Start the system takes a few seconds (less than 8 seconds, so they say) devices with UEFI boot. Without relying on the hibernation feature, according to information provided by Microsoft executives.
A monitor activities showed that even when applying the system goes into hibernation, there is a sharp drop in the use of processing, but Windows still uses 8 a certain amount of resources to give applications a chance to save their sessions when the system is reactivated. And then we have a Windows that yes, back to normal activities from Hibernation takes up open applications quickly.
The login screen has been modified. Instead of typing complex passwords, users have the option of placing a 4-digit PIN to unlock the computer running Windows 8. In addition to traditional passwords with alphanumeric characters, the development team of Windows also adds that the login Developer Preview for images - similar to designs that are quite common on devices running Android.
Visual Metro
The big bet for Microsoft Windows are 8 monitors with touchscreen technology. Instead of using mouse and keyboard to control the machine, the Windows interface is being shaped for users to mess your fingers on the screen. Just as in tablets and smartphones today.
Kind of setting guidelines for future applications, Microsoft says it expects full-screen apps and simple controls for Windows 8. Applications that take advantage of the visual format Metro, similar to that found in Windows Phone 7.
Windows 8: viewing files stored on your computer
As in the Android
One of the features not previously specified the Metro are the sides of the monitor. She is sensitive to touch - when the user is on the right or left of the screen, discovers a series of buttons that usually are hidden in Windows 8.
By tapping the corner from the left, the user has the option to choose to open another application on your computer. In the corner on the right are the options for running application: search, share, Start menu, devices, and settings. Much like the radio button present in Android or Windows Phone.
For those addicted to productivity, good news: when using two monitors connected in the same PC, the user can run the Metro in one eye and conventional desktop Windows, just like we see in Windows 7, the second monitor (or vice versa).
Only examples
Interestingly, all applications submitted will not be sold in Build. They serve only as an example to show the potential of the operating system, according to Steven Sinofsky, the head of Microsoft's Windows division. Unlike Apple, which usually includes apps on their systems, Microsoft apparently (emphasis on apparently) will allow developers to take advantage of those resources to create competitive apps for Windows 8.
Windows 8 will work on both x86 and x64. In addition, Microsoft ensures that the system runs fine on ARM, although it demands more specific information for each device that is using the system.

Twitter announces official tool for analyzing tweets
The analysis tools can specify how visitors current traffic brought to the Twitter pages, but most do not do that very accurate or detailed. Today Twitter has finally announced its official tool for analysis of visits, Web Analytics called Twitter, which should give further information to website owners who use Twitter as a source of traffic.
The tool will show not only how many people clicked on links posted by a certain profile on Twitter, but also will quantify and measure the effectiveness reTweets Tweet Button, among other things. In the image shown as an example, we used statistics from the American blog TechCrunch and accordingly, will be offered three options for displaying data: the present day, over 7 days or over a month.
This tool was already in development for some time and came from BackType buy the company, which specializes in analysis of links on Twitter, which happened in July. According to its creator, Christopher Golda, Twitter Web Analytics will be released to a small fraction of users now but will be available for more sites over the next few weeks. Next to him is also released an API for other services pull information provided by the tool.

Lenovo IdeaPad A1, a 7-inch tablet with Android
Lenovo announced on Thursday (1) the IdeaPad A1, a 7.7-inch tablet that runs Android. If you are looking for a cheap alternative to the iPad, the new Lenovo tablet can be a great option. Outside, the most basic version of the gadget will cost only $ 199 (around $ 320), occupying the position of the tablet with the most cost-effective market.
In its simplest model, the Lenovo's tablet will have Wi-Fi and 8GB of internal storage. If space is insufficient, adding another $ 50 to the account you can make a nice upgrade. The 16 GB version goes for $ 249 (just over $ 400). A 32 GB version will also be available for $ 299 (£ 480).
On the issue of hardware, the IdeaPad A1 provides the basics: Cortex A8, a single-core 1 GHz ARM, two cameras (the back of 3 MP and a front for video conferences, with 0.3 MP) and GPS. The screen, as already noted, is 7.7 inches and has a resolution of 1280 x 600.
The main weakness of the tablet is the operating system. Although the IdeaPad A1 turn one of the most popular systems for tablets and smartphones, it does not use the latest version of Android. Lenovo opted for Android 2.3, Honeycomb probably not upgrade to the system version of Google dedicated to tablets.
If you were interested, the bad news is that Lenovo IdeaPad not released when the A1 will be launched in the country. When you get (get) to store shelves, the tablet will be available in black, white, blue and pink. Let's wait and hope!

Review: Nokia C5-03
In this competitive mobile market, small may be the key features needed to appeal the choice of a particular product. And when we think of devices that represent an inherent quality of your brand, we can remember, no problem, Nokia.
After years as a market leader and with a series of award-winning products, is it a good enough name for the model chosen for this review, the C5-03, is effective when it was proposed? We can say that. He responded well to everything that is proposed to do, and with an interesting configuration of applications already included - all running very well.
Operating System
The device is equipped with Symbian OS S60 5th Edition, which, for many, can be a problem. Nokia's own recently "killed" your system in the U.S., indicating that it would begin work with Windows Phone, Microsoft. This should be a trend that will extend throughout the world and may complicate things for users of Symbian, including the owners of the C5-03.
However, considering only the actual phone, Symbian works very well. It is a bit trickier to move to Android, for example, but is very stable and has a significant volume in its App Store. However, the most interesting, of course, are paid. Panning and you may find many free solutions, including customizing your phone.
We can not compare with the Ovi Store or the Android App Store. Is much lower and this picture should not change. However, one negative point to be made. Sometimes it overwhelms the system (even with a good processor, the ARM 600 MHZ) and the phone automatically restarts in the middle of his task. It may be a small inconvenience if you are doing important work.
Design
The look of the C5-03 is lightweight, compact and efficient. In the very first time ever we look at the screen and the front buttons (to connect and make calls) are well placed and marked. On the right side we have the dedicated volume buttons and locking device.
At the top we find the USB port and a dedicated headset. This point is interesting: following the trend of the new devices, we can connect earbud (input P2), which is great to escape the documents that accompany the equipment, usually expensive.
Speaking of headphones, the C5-03 plays the songs very well. Your player is functional and has a great quality, and balance (which can be customized) makes the listening experience even more intense.
We just lack of a dedicated button for activating the camera. This feature would facilitate the implementation of the photo app, and would increase the experience in this regard.
Screen
The screen has 3.2 C5-03-inch, 640 x 360 resolution and a throughput of up to 16 million colors. It is a good setup. It's all very clear and well defined. The touchscreen responds well, even being resistive. In fact, this is a reality in most Nokia devices. We can customize the home screen so that we find most interesting, choosing the applications that will be the immediate access (just below) as well as contacts for quick connection.
With just one touch on top of the screen, we can change the profile to silent, for example, or trigger the alarm and manage the connections used at the time. The accuracy of the motion sensor is high and its accuracy is remarkable. However, sometimes it works too much and drive a small device the screen changes to a horizontal position.
The sensitivity of the rings is above average. We feel that when we have to send a message and change the position of the keyboard to the horizontal, to write quickly.
Camera and GPS
As stated before, the lack of a specific button commits the execution of the camera. To capture an image, we have to touch the screen, or anything that is not functional (especially when trying to take your picture). In contrast, the resolution is 5 megapixels and has a 3x digital zoom.
Another point worth highlighting are the scene modes, we can tailor the way we see fit. In low light, night mode is indicated, to compensate for lack of a flash LED model.
The image editor is less functional than usual. It has many features, but not so intuitive. The video mode performs recording of good quality, up to 640x352 and 15fps. In this way, we can also select a variety of settings such as scene mode (similar to camera), color tones, etc.. It's a good thing for when we do not have a camcorder, as even the capture of ambient sound is satisfactory.
One of the strong points of the C5-03 is the GPS. It has an integrated GPS receiver and comes with Nokia Maps 3.6 pre-installed. Sure, he often takes a while to recognize his position, but if your machine using the GSP assisted (using the antennas of the operator to enter the position and is charged) the solution is much faster. The visualization of all routes and path characteristics are well defined and clear on the screen, which facilitates its manipulation.
Anyway, even taking a little longer than a conventional device, this GPS system is a good resource and a major difference in the time of purchase.
Internet and Wi-Fi
The icing on the cake model C5-03 system is the Wi-Fi - WLAN 802.11b / g. The connection is stable and hardly ever falls. This is a good point. The transmission of data does not lack a good connection and can surf the Internet safely.
The device comes with a series of applications related to social networks: Facebook, Orkut, You tube (in fact, runs great videos) and MySpace. It's worth installing Foursquare, because with all forms of connection is very simple to carry out a check-in. The device allows us to configure up to 10 email accounts that are available on the Home screen, facilitating their identification and handling.
After years as a market leader and with a series of award-winning products, is it a good enough name for the model chosen for this review, the C5-03, is effective when it was proposed? We can say that. He responded well to everything that is proposed to do, and with an interesting configuration of applications already included - all running very well.
Operating System
The device is equipped with Symbian OS S60 5th Edition, which, for many, can be a problem. Nokia's own recently "killed" your system in the U.S., indicating that it would begin work with Windows Phone, Microsoft. This should be a trend that will extend throughout the world and may complicate things for users of Symbian, including the owners of the C5-03.
However, considering only the actual phone, Symbian works very well. It is a bit trickier to move to Android, for example, but is very stable and has a significant volume in its App Store. However, the most interesting, of course, are paid. Panning and you may find many free solutions, including customizing your phone.
We can not compare with the Ovi Store or the Android App Store. Is much lower and this picture should not change. However, one negative point to be made. Sometimes it overwhelms the system (even with a good processor, the ARM 600 MHZ) and the phone automatically restarts in the middle of his task. It may be a small inconvenience if you are doing important work.
Design
The look of the C5-03 is lightweight, compact and efficient. In the very first time ever we look at the screen and the front buttons (to connect and make calls) are well placed and marked. On the right side we have the dedicated volume buttons and locking device.
At the top we find the USB port and a dedicated headset. This point is interesting: following the trend of the new devices, we can connect earbud (input P2), which is great to escape the documents that accompany the equipment, usually expensive.
Speaking of headphones, the C5-03 plays the songs very well. Your player is functional and has a great quality, and balance (which can be customized) makes the listening experience even more intense.
We just lack of a dedicated button for activating the camera. This feature would facilitate the implementation of the photo app, and would increase the experience in this regard.
Screen
The screen has 3.2 C5-03-inch, 640 x 360 resolution and a throughput of up to 16 million colors. It is a good setup. It's all very clear and well defined. The touchscreen responds well, even being resistive. In fact, this is a reality in most Nokia devices. We can customize the home screen so that we find most interesting, choosing the applications that will be the immediate access (just below) as well as contacts for quick connection.
With just one touch on top of the screen, we can change the profile to silent, for example, or trigger the alarm and manage the connections used at the time. The accuracy of the motion sensor is high and its accuracy is remarkable. However, sometimes it works too much and drive a small device the screen changes to a horizontal position.
The sensitivity of the rings is above average. We feel that when we have to send a message and change the position of the keyboard to the horizontal, to write quickly.
Camera and GPS
As stated before, the lack of a specific button commits the execution of the camera. To capture an image, we have to touch the screen, or anything that is not functional (especially when trying to take your picture). In contrast, the resolution is 5 megapixels and has a 3x digital zoom.
Another point worth highlighting are the scene modes, we can tailor the way we see fit. In low light, night mode is indicated, to compensate for lack of a flash LED model.
The image editor is less functional than usual. It has many features, but not so intuitive. The video mode performs recording of good quality, up to 640x352 and 15fps. In this way, we can also select a variety of settings such as scene mode (similar to camera), color tones, etc.. It's a good thing for when we do not have a camcorder, as even the capture of ambient sound is satisfactory.
One of the strong points of the C5-03 is the GPS. It has an integrated GPS receiver and comes with Nokia Maps 3.6 pre-installed. Sure, he often takes a while to recognize his position, but if your machine using the GSP assisted (using the antennas of the operator to enter the position and is charged) the solution is much faster. The visualization of all routes and path characteristics are well defined and clear on the screen, which facilitates its manipulation.
Anyway, even taking a little longer than a conventional device, this GPS system is a good resource and a major difference in the time of purchase.
Internet and Wi-Fi
The icing on the cake model C5-03 system is the Wi-Fi - WLAN 802.11b / g. The connection is stable and hardly ever falls. This is a good point. The transmission of data does not lack a good connection and can surf the Internet safely.
The device comes with a series of applications related to social networks: Facebook, Orkut, You tube (in fact, runs great videos) and MySpace. It's worth installing Foursquare, because with all forms of connection is very simple to carry out a check-in. The device allows us to configure up to 10 email accounts that are available on the Home screen, facilitating their identification and handling.
Eight Ways to first appear in the Facebook News Feed
Did you know your Facebook wall does not show all the posts that publish all your friends all the time? Yeah. If you click here on Home, see your mural will show messages with dates sparse. It may even be that the most "recent" already has more than 10 hours.
Huh ... So that means none of my friends or the pages I have published nothing short this time? None. What happens is that by default Facebook only shows you what "he thinks the coolest." Hi? In fact, not what he thinks cooler, but what he thinks is more likely that you enjoy or comment. The site claims that the number of publications is such that if you saw all that all the millions of users post, would lose some of the best posts because it just was not looking at the time.
But wait ... Because Facebook knows what I like? A-ha! To work on the relevance to users of the site, Facebook uses an algorithm within a system that calls itself EdgeRank. This system classifies all posts published based on three criteria: popularity, relevance and time.
To be ranked higher in EdgeRank and consequently appear in the first wall of people, your post has to be the best in three categories: having clicks, tanned and comments in the post today, clicks, tanned and comments in past posts, and to be recent. That is: the older and your post is ignored, unless it appears on the wall of people.
And why must I be the first users of the mural? Well, if you are a person who does not use Facebook for purposes of career advancement or personal, do not. But if you want people to see their posts to sell, communicate or even launch a brand, then you need and then worry about EdgeRank Facebook.
So, here we will give tips shared by eight and the PostPlanner AllFacebook, to help you win once the Facebook wall posts and leave their first ever.
1 - Ask questions. Users like to respond, comment and opinion. Just remember to be relevant, know who you are talking about first. The application questions, Facebook itself is easy to use and yields many interesting opinions. Use your creativity and ask general questions, ask the opinion of his fans and how they think.
2 - Post incomplete sentences. Pretend it's a quick quip. Bet on simple answers, in a word. Ex: Today, all I wanted was to ___. Expect nasty comments. But overall, you'll see a lot of quality participation.
3 - Post pictures. The bad (or good) say that languages are best classified photos on Facebook than links, because they keep the traffic within the site and prevent leakage. Compare the number of impressions you receive your posts. What are the most viewed? Photos? Videos? External Links? Experiment with loose photos. If you have a business, post pictures of the team. Make known your employees.
4 - Talk about current news. Get the latest possible. You can and should be controversial, just do not be aggressive. Ask your friends or fans think about what's going on.
5 - Ask tanned. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Again, be consistent and relevant. Thus, nobody will care to vote and support their cause. Ask directly to their fans to make it clear whether they "agree" or disagree with your post using the button Curtis. You may be impressed with the result.
6 - Reach different audiences. Talk about different dates, talk to different groups. Use greetings, good day, I wish a good holiday. These are people with whom you are talking about. As such, they like to be treated kindly.
7 - Talk about Facebook. Users love to talk about the news site, especially if new bugs. Always be aware of the platform. News involving other pages, other users or images can be enjoyed immediately. If you see some new buttons that have not yet been reviewed, be the first to talk about it. Many will want to know what it is.
8 - Post by hand. It may sound crazy and certainly will work. But the reward is immediate. As you might expect, the Facebook traffic prefer to work with their own links, so as Hootsuite external applications and the like tend to get fewer impressions.
Take the quiz and then tell us. The print number of your posts has increased? And the tanned and comments? There are more fans on your page?

HP touchpad again to be produced in limited edition
After observing several shops being flooded by a wave of consumers interested in taking the tablet discontinued Touchpad home for $ 99 - plus see some of the remaining units for sale on sites like Ebay for up to 300% premium - HP needed to do something.
The company released a statement on Tuesday afternoon advising interested parties that will produce a final edition of slates to serve those who have not found the device available in stores. According to industry sources, the company still had enough parts to build another 100 thousand units of the touchpad.
HP Touchpad: not so dead as it should
"Finally got some good news to tell about the availability of the touchpad. Although we announced the end of WebOS hardware manufacturing, we decided to produce one last batch of devices to meet unmet demand. We do not know exactly when or how these devices will arrive, nor can we guarantee that there will be sufficient for all devices. But we still spend a few weeks until they can be bought, "said Mark Budgell, director of marketing for HP, in a post on a company blog.
The first rumors about a possible return of the touchpad were being fed, those who would say, by Budgell in his own Twitter account, in which he claimed to be "negotiating" a possible return of the device.
It is unclear what the value of the latter devices, which by now should actually close the line within HP WebOS. But it is likely to continue to be sold for $ 99.00.

Designer shows the preview of Mozilla Firefox for tablets
When it released a new version of Firefox to Android a few weeks ago, Mozilla has also improved the interface of your program to work better in tablets. But that does not seem to be enough for the company, aiming to create a specific application for such devices, with the clear objective of taking advantage of the full screen area. The company's designer, Ian Barlow, offered his personal blog yesterday in a preview of what we expect from it.
According to Ian, Firefox for tablets is an evolution of its mobile version. Users of the browser on the phone will notice a small change in the location of the tabs, which began to turn left, something that Ian says he will "facilitate access to them and allow more search results are displayed." Already familiar with the Firefox on the desktop will notice that the back and forward buttons mimic this version.
The address bar, and rely on the button to reload and bookmarks, it also allows access to the history pages and synchronized with Firefox on the desktop and so took the name AwesomeBar nothing presumptuous. Like his brother to the big screen, Firefox for tablets also have the custom search option, which lets you search directly on Google, Twitter, Amazon and Wikipedia directly from bar.
Although it is more a lot easier to publish the application on Android Market (and the screenshots and pictures, this is what Mozilla is aiming to do), I expect Firefox to be really into tablets and tablets not only for Honeycomb. Just depends on the Mozilla modify the code to run on other devices and, in the case of the iPad, Apple does not try to prevent the application appear on your AppStore. Fingers crossed.

Samsung unveils new notebook series 7 Chronos
Just before the opening of IFA 2011, Samsung is already advertising the new models to its line of mobile computers. The latest to join this line is the Series 7 Chronos, which has settings comparable to the MacBook Pro from Apple. With an aluminum exterior finish, the Chronos 7 Series comes in two models, 15.6 and 14 inches, but both with 23.6 mm thick.
Technical specifications vary, but the base model includes a 15.6-inch Intel Core i5-2430M, 6GB of RAM, integrated graphics and 750 GB HD. The model above can include this inside an Intel Core i7-2675QM, video card AMD Radeon HD6750M with 1 GB of dedicated memory, 8 GB of RAM but retains the same storage capacity and screen resolution, 1600 x 900 pixels.
Both also feature a variety of connectivity options Bluetooth, USB and HDMI, and optical drive capable of recording and playback of DVDs, 1.3 megapixel camera and a card reader SD memory card. The VGA output is included in the notebook must be equipped with an adapter to work with monitors. The battery, according to Samsung, can run nine hours, but as we have seen in trials of the notebook manufacturer here in TB, this estimation is not always very realistic.
The price of the Series 7 Chronos ranges from U.S. $ 999.00 U.S. $ 1,299.00, depending on configuration. He must begin to be sold in Europe and the United States from October 2 and has no date for arrival in Brazil.

Sony Ericsson Xperia online updates with the Arc S
Kazuo Hirai, president of products and services division of Sony, exhibited for the first time on stage the event a new generation of Xperia Arc, Arc Xperia S, proving that "S" is a strong contender to win the award for most used letter names in current smartphones.
Among other things, the Xperia Arc S has a 1.4 GHz processor, comes with a screen called "Reality Display" with 4.2 inches, the same as the original Xperia Arc, an Exmor R that is capable of turning 2D images into 3D, camera 8.1-megapixel camera and runs Android 2.3. The design is basically the same, but this time the smartphone will be sold in white.
The company declined to reveal the price yet, but promised that the Xperia Arc 2 will be available in several countries starting in October. Here in Brazil the Xperia Arc arrived a few months ago, but costs $ 1800 in the course. We can only hope that the next generation of it lands in the country with a more affordable price.

OpenDNS and Google together to make the Internet faster
The two sites have joined forces for a faster internet. OpenDNS and Google announced Tuesday that a new partnership with regard to how to resolve DNS requests. The "Speed Up" which can be translated as "Speed," also includes some of the greatest services CDN (content delivery network) in the world.
Too bad it only works in the United States, at least for now. When a user accessing the Internet with Google DNS resolution or OpenDNS enter certain sites, your access will be much faster because the servers are closer to the physical location of Internet users.
It works as follows: to go to YouTube, the Internet could well usual load the page from a Google server in Brazil or Ireland. The greater the distance between the location of the user and the server, more data has to go through, and the internet is slower (latency increases).
With the initiative "Speed Up", users of Google and the OpenDNS DNS now have a part of your IP transmitted along with the request. Thing of milliseconds. If your DNS provider detects that the user is in Dallas, will direct access to a CDN (a local structure of data storage that replicates a real server) Google or its partners also located in Dallas. If the subject is in New York, just using a server NY. And so access is faster.
In addition to OpenDNS and Google, the following companies are part of the project: EdgeCast, Verisign, CDNetworks, and BitGravity Cloudflare.
So far the initiative only works in the United States. The good news is that any DNS provider can adopt the protocol created by OpenDNS and Google - just want to. Some Brazilian service type for that?

Gmail Offline: To access the email when you have no connection
You'll never be able to claim that there is no way to access your mail when you are without internet connection. Google today introduced the new iteration Offline Gmail, which now emerges as a free app for Chrome that, once installed, it synchronizes messages and lets you write and save the emails that are sent only when the connection back. It's about time!
Offline Gmail works much like the Gmail interface for tablets. The development team used the webmail acquired extensive knowledge building software using the HTML5 iPad and tablets running Android to create this application. It was really good.
According to the web giant, the great advantage of using web app is that you can access your information at any time. Based on the HTML5, the application has access to a larger space to store your content. And so it is easy to keep track of conversations to that moment when the stewardess tells off the electronics - when you can turn on the notebook, the 3G signal or Wi-Fi likely has been lost, but their messages are still there thanks to the Offline cache provided by Google.
Once that was done over the tablets to Gmail, Gmail Offline jarring enough of the the new interface that Google recently released for your email service. The sources used are larger, and basically we have are two columns. A present for the talks, and another to display the messages themselves. I do not think it takes nothing more than that in an environment that has no internet connection (Gmail chat, for example, is unnecessary in this scenario, the same goes for the top bar, full-featured inaccessible Google ).
"The world today does not slow and is always a good feeling to be productive from anywhere, from any device, at any time," Google says. The company also says that Gmail Offline is a way to push the limits and boundaries of modern browsers. How true.
I'm using Gmail Offline connection even with a 10 Mega. Above all, what I like is the simplicity in the application by presenting the features of email services. The focus is exclusively on the messages, without excessive resources. When I need something more complex, just open another tab in Chrome and access the normal page of Gmail.
Gmail Offline is in Beta stage. Works with both Gmail itself and webmail based on Google Apps, Google offers a series of flavors and prices. The first time you open the web app will have to give permission for Gmail Offline save information on your computer (recommended only if the PC is exclusively yours).
One thing that does not work in web app: drag and drop images to include in the email body. Do not even try. Too bad.
The application promises to use Google Docs and Calendar very soon.
Should remember that the Google mail has had an offline mode that depended on the Gears technology. This technology was discontinued because it was owned by Google, and the company chose to develop something with open standards.

Blogger also has a new design
Now is the time for Blogger to get a new design with a unified visual company that pursues both since it announced its complete makeover (or nearly so).
Blogger was already undergoing a redesign. The new toolbar that look just touches up, following the precepts presented by the company in other services also depend on text formatting. Google Docs also keeps a similar interface, so it's no surprise that the bar passes through the same treatment Blogger.
The team says that the service is not just an aesthetic change to Blogger. Besides we can see, the source code was also modified so that the act of writing posts or manage them is faster for the user. Google also says that Blogger scratch again until you reach the end result that is in the air.
If you can not access the new Blogger interface to access the address from blogger.com, the recommendation is to go in the sandbox: draft.blogger.com. At least with me it only worked after going through the gates from the bottom of Blogger, the specific site to test new features. Blogger reports that access to the new look will be released gradually.
In addition to the new toolbar, Blogger Draft you can see all the new administration area of blogs (also known dome Dashboard), which the company promises a while but not made an appearance to all internet users who are still opting for hours on Blogger to speak freely in this great network.
If I liked? Yes The most important thing is that Google is adopting a unified look for all its products and services on the network. This means that over the months, we'll all get used to look for the same buttons and same features in all sites maintained by the company. Something tells me this will make life easier for many people (mine included).
Unlike Google Docs toolbar was released yesterday, a few buttons on the toolbar Blogger still colorful. Weird - especially when Google suggests is adopting the same color palette for all services they maintain.
This time it seems Google is hitting the hand with Blogger. WordPress continues advancing as blog publishing service, but its main competitor is gaining interesting features (and a better interface).

Financial Times removes its app from iOS App Store
After much negotiating, the Financial Times announced Wednesday that it quit the company from the apple App store. In fact, nearly so: the FT is giving up its presence in the App Store, app store so venerated by fans of Steve Jobs.
To our knowledge, the FT is the first vehicle weight to abort its strategy to iOS. The reason for this decision is obvious to some, but give it explicit here: the policy of sharing of gains that the company Steve Jobs, currently led by Tim Cook, has since it was created. The application is responsible for 70% of any amount negotiated in the App Store, while Apple gets the other 30%. For the FT the situation became impossible.
Journal of highly appreciated business, the Financial Times has a legion of users in various devices. His audience, composed especially for executives, entrepreneurs and people who "choose" the things of this world, pays a higher price for premium information considered. Split Apple part of this money is usually not an option for vehicles of any kind.
And what about the Financial Times in IOS? The application has been removed from the App Store. This does not mean he is automatically disabled on all iDevices who have downloaded. But the recommendation of the Financial Times is that users start to access the mobile version of FT, complete with all the resources that the application for iOS offered.
The development team of the Financial Times has also embarked on new wave of HTML5 use to make web apps. The mobile site allows you to save the journal news for offline reading, which in itself reproduces normally expect from an actual application, installed on the smartphone.
The Financial Times is not the first company to wonder with the guidelines due to Apple's App Store. In February, Apple has banned the apps would take users to external sites in order to sell extra features (not to split the money with the company). Google Books was in July, removed from the App Store for a short period of time before they remove any link to its online store (and out of iOS) publications. Amazon has the same problem with the app for the Kindle.
However, it is fair to say that, according to the FT, the decision was made after talks "friendly" with Apple. I know, I know ...

The loss of the device, the source of CNET, have happened in July of that year.
Apple employees came to make the prototype tracking lost, which led police to the house of a citizen of 20 years and that was confirmed in 22 Cava on the night that he would have been lost.

Apple wants its prototype 3G MacBook returned back
Just over two weeks a supposed prototype of MacBook equipped with an antenna and a 3G SIM card slot showed up at an auction on eBay.
And, hey, it was apparently true (confirming the company's recent tradition of apple losing prototypes of their products out there) since the CNET says that Apple contacted the owner of the machine asking your computer back.
According to the website, the errant computer is currently held by a guy named Carl Frega, a resident of the state of North Carolina, who says he bought the broken from an advertisement on Craigslist.
After a brief service the computer back to life again and Frega sold through the classifieds site. Weeks later the machine showed up at a Genius Bar featuring a series of problems and their repair was refused because the computer "used a variety of third-party components," including the motherboard, optical drive and screen.
To avoid what would be a small battle with the new owner, who thought the computer was false, Frege took the computer back and then announced it on eBay.
The 3G MacBook can come to receive bids in the amount of $ 70,000 before having your auction stopped by Apple because of "copyright infringement". And this week Frega says he was contacted by Apple, you're asking the computer back - apparently not entitled to a penny.

Windows 8 will mount ISO images natively
Daemon Tools can retire. In a prior demonstration of new features in Windows 8, an engineer found something that is part of the dreams of centuries makes Windows users: native support for ISO-type images. My people, never again will have to install a separate application to run that image as if it was properly inserted a DVD drive in the machine.
Windows Explorer with the new ribbon interface similar to Office have the option to trigger an ISO or VHD file directly from the application. These files will be displayed in Explorer as a disk image file (Disc Image File, in the English version).
The operation is simpler world:-click the file and it is mounted like a conventional DVD. The "hard" is also displayed in Windows Explorer, this time like a traditional media and physical, although it is running from the previously saved image.
In previous versions of Windows would be to burn the DVD with the contents of the saved image. No more!
VHD files are quite common to store operating system images. Since the ISO files you've no doubt seen on piracy sites, containing the image of games and applications whose use has not been duly purchased by the user.

Apple is preparing diagnostic system for iPhone
Apple announced a new service internally to make life easier for technical assistance for iPhone. Instead of running for a position authorized when the smartphone gives problem, consumers may eventually be in the comfort of their own home and access a site that makes any diagnosis of what is happening with the appliance.
When entering a specific Internet address of the iPhones Safari present in the cell would be redirected to an online diagnostic service. This system was supposed to be able to do various checks on the smartphone to define what are the causes of device malfunction apple.
Of course, Apple does not confirm anything related to the subject
The following checks could (theoretically, mind you) be made with the new system:
UDID of the device.
IOS version installed.
Battery information, like last time it was recharged and time it takes to arrive at 100%.
Lower percentage of the battery when the phone was off.
The unit has been shut down properly.
If the idea is true and right, Apple could easily save a few caraminguás that currently passes for the Genius, who make their employees assistance in stores, and for providing technical support for the company.
With this information in hand, the company would contact the consumer (if it authorizes such contact) to give instructions before actually refer you to some assistance.
The TNW even raises the possibility of Apple using the system to detect whether the iPhone JailBreak passed. Feel free - we're talking about Apple.
