iOS 5 Coming On September 30th (EXCLUSIVE)

We have been informed by a reliable source that iOS 5 should be available on September 30th at 10 AM PST just the same time as previous update releases.
Back in June, iOS 5 was introduced during the WWDC 2011. iOS 5 comes with features as OTA updates, a perfect notifications system, Newsstand, Twitter integration, the Reminder Up, PC-Free feature, the iMessage, Speech-To-Text feature and even more features unveiled in the released betas of iOS 5.
9to5mac earlier this week reported that Apple’s next-generation iPhone will be available in stores starting on Friday, October 7th. The report also included that pre-orders of the iPhone 5 will be available from Friday, September 30th. So the date of iOS 5 release is most likely true as Apple traditionally releases a new update to the public couple of days before the release of new iPhone hardware.
Twitter quietly added a prompt to post a public reply to any user whose profile page you visit today; it’s a small but logical step to take and one that makes the interface all the more supportive of social interaction. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey replied to user @jSammy17 and said the feature was new today – that appears to be the company’s only public statement about it so far.
Activity streams, photo uploaders and media galleries, now changes to the posting interface – with all these changes made in one week you’d think there was a hot new social network that had just launched and that was challenging Twitter for its users. When will a Twitter Games Platform launch, I wonder?
The call to action to send a public @ reply to a user whose profile page you’re on is pretty straightforward. You could always send a private Direct Message to someone when you visited their page if they were following you. Now whether they are following you or not, you can initiate a conversation.
Above, finance blogger and post-industrial renaissance woman Sarah Gilbert is a great person to follow. Now you can send her, or anyone else, public replies whether she follows you back or not.
Flickr has announced that it has reached another milestone – the 6 billionth photograph was uploaded to the site on Monday by user eon60. The photo, which depicts a Montbretia flower, was taken with a Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 digital compact camera. “Over the last few years Flickr has seen consistent growth, with uploads increasing over 20% year-over-year,” Flickr said in a statement.
Anonymous Hackers Ask Users To Close Their PayPal Accounts

The popular hackers group Anonymous has issued the second statement regarding FBI arrests and PayPal’s decision to block donations to WikiLeaks. They ask users to ditch PayPal and close their account. In other words, BOYCOTT PayPal.
We encourage anyone using PayPal to immediately close their accounts and consider an alternative. […] PayPal’s willingness to fold to legislation should be proof enough that they don’t deserve the customers they get. They do not deserve your business, and they do not deserve your respect.
So, will you really respond to Anonymous group? Is there a real alternative for Paypal? Let us know!

?> Introducing inbox styles tabs for Gmail
Posted: July 8, 2011 in Gmail, Internet!, Mail, News, TechnologyTags: gmail, google
Gmail’s Priority Inbox feature changed the way I read mail. Instead of simply starring messages or going through the hassle of tagging and storing my email somewhere in a long list of folders, I was suddenly able to chose those communications that were most important, have them displayed at the top of my inbox list, and even have Gmail learn from my choices to automatically determine what future messages should be considered top priority. It was one of those updates that refreshes a product and provides practical–if not indispensable–new functionality.
Over time, I, like many of you probably did, found myself hanging onto those prioritized messages for far too long. I still wanted them at the top of my inbox, but new, lower priority messages were slipping past my radar–a First World problem of the highest order.
Google is addressing this conundrum with a new set of Gmail tabs that allow you to snap back and forth between inbox styles with a single click. They call it…Inbox Styles, and it allows you to alternate between Classic, Priority, Unread, Important, and Starred message sorting. Boom!
The downside is that, once you’ve selected a style and settled on it for a week, the tabs disappear. Though I will be switching many times a day, I find this last bit to be kind of a drag. Why not provide the option to have the tabs displayed for good? The style can be changed under Gmail’s settings menu, but the tabs are far more convenient.
The tabs will turn up in your Gmail account in the coming weeks. If you find the perfect style, just keep on working and the tabs will disappear. If you like constantly switching modes, the tabs should remain indefinitely.
