Twitter Adds Subtle New Feature

Posted: August 12, 2011 in Internet!, News

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.

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

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.

Have you been invited to Google+? Well, I’ve already been invited and I think it’s awesome but Facebook gonna do something about this. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has today announced that Facebook is about to launch something awesome next week, Reuter reports.

Chief Executive and founder Mark Zuckerberg told reporters in a visit to Facebook’s Seattle office on Wednesday that the company planned to “launch something awesome” next week.

He said the project had been developed at the 40-person Seattle office, Facebook’s only major engineering center outside of its Palo Alto, California headquarters.

Reuters suggests that it may be the much-much-waited Facebook app for iPad. It could be also the photo-sharing app, something like Instagram or PicPlz. Reuters asked Facebook to comment but they prefered to keep this things private. May be a dislike button?

To try it now, simply go to Gmail Settings, click on the Themes tab and select “Preview” or “Preview (Dense)” as your theme to try this yourself then tell us what do you think?

Apple VS Microsoft.. The History Of Computing (Infographic) June 26, 2011

As Richard Nixon destroyed happiness with his war on drugs, the 1970’s saw the world’s first personal computers, inspiring five geeks to start a pair of companies which would go on to shape the future of computing as we know it.

In January of 1975 Bill Gates and Paul Allen called up Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems claiming to have a working BASIC interpreter for the MITS Altair 8800 microcomputer. While that claim was entirely fictitious, it took Gates and Allen just two months to create the product they claimed to already have.

With the interpreter working flawlessly, MITS agreed to distribute the software under the name Altair BASIC. Microsoft was officially established just one month later, on April 4th, 1975. After launching their first Disk Operating System (DOS) in 1980 Microsoft quickly began to grow into one of the biggest names in personal computing.

Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne founded their company, Apple, on April 1st 1976, just short of one year after the inception of Microsoft. Unlike Microsoft, who chose to focus on operating systems for other people’s hardware, Apple began their business by selling bare-bones hand-built computer kits, named the Apple I.

After Wayne sold his shares of the company to the Steve’s for just $800, Apple incorporated on January 3rd, 1977. With the backing of Multi-millionaire Mike Markkula, Apple Computers Inc. had the funding it needed to develop the most advanced personal computer to date, the Apple II (launched on April 16th 1977).

With color graphics and an open architecture, the Apple II set the course for personal computing, beginning the battle for dominance of what soon proved to be one of the biggest un-tapped markets in history.

99% of Computer users either use Apple’s Mac OS X or Microsoft’s Windows but let’s see which is older and which is better. The below infographic by Manolution shows you the history of Computing in the last 30 years and shows a great time-fighting between Apple and Microsoft. Have fun.
