Twitter's surprise new revenue plan Print E-mail

No to advertising, yes to business add-ons

Vowing not to charge users access fees and to avoid placing ads on Twitter may not seem the best way for a web start-up to make money, however the men behind Twitter plan to do just that.

- Twitter track: How Twitterers helped inspire a song



The latest of the social-networking phenomena, Twitter last year turned down a $500million buy-out offer from competitor and social-network behemoth Facebook. Now, looking to turn its ever-increasing user base into ever-growing mounds of cash, the leaders over in Twitter land have been putting their heads together.

iPhone Skype Over 3G - Guide Print E-mail
Submitted by actz   
Friday, 15 May 2009

AT&T's impotent network—and good ol' fashioned greed make it do douchey things sometimes, like lock down SlingPlayer and Skype for the iPhone. But you can unlock their true 3G powers.

 

Step 1: Free Your Phone
There are lots of reasons to jailbreak your phone. Skype and SlingPlayer over 3G is just one of them. Luckily, we've got a comprehensive guide to easily jailbreak your iPhone 3G (or iPod touch). Follow it.

 

Step 2: Trick Your Phone
Welcome back! If you're just interested in using Skype, SlingPlayer and Fring's VoIP over 3G we're already at the end—search for Tricker Three3G in Cydia, install it, and you're good to go. SlingPlayer, Skype and Fring will think they're running on Wi-Fi, no matter what connection you're on. Right now, Tricker Three3G only fools those three apps. There's a more involved process if you want to fool other apps too.

 

Step 2b: The Long Way
In Cydia, the app you want to search for and install is VoIPover3G, which tricks any app into thinking a 3G connection is actually Wi-Fi. You also need to grab OpenSSH or DiskAid and the latest version of MobileSubstrate. From there, you have to tap into phone and install some custom text files for every app that you want VoIPover3G to trick. But you do have the power to trick any app with it, unlike Tricker ThreeG. If you're completely new to the game, I'd start with this guide to getting Skype to work over 3G and then just substitute the final steps for the relevant Sling parts from this guide. They're laid out pretty well, so fairly easy to follow. [iHackintosh, iPhone Download Blog]

AMD lays claim to 1Ghz GPU Print E-mail

AMD says it has reached a new top speed for graphics processing.

The company said that its latest ATI graphics cards are able to reach processor speeds of up to 1ghz, a new top mark for a factory-produced air-cooled graphics card. The new Radeon HD 4890 card is said to be able to reach up to 1.6 teraflops computing speeds through the single GPU. The company plans to market the card to the high-end gaming market initially.

In addition to better graphics performance, the company also suggests that the new cards can be used to help process other tasks though protocol such as OpenCL. The use of graphics processors for general computing, also known as 'GPGPU' has picked up steam in recent years.
 
Swedish government tries to collect fine from The Pirate Bay Print E-mail
Submitted by actz   
Friday, 15 May 2009

Pirate Bay defendant Peter Sunde Kolmissoppi is having a rough week. As if the looming threat of a year in jail and a large fine weren't enough to give anyone a permanent case of "the Mondays," Kolmisoppi had his bag stolen at a conference. Luckily, he got it back. "Money was still there, my PC was still there," he tweeted. "Things missing: Underwear and a tshirt. Pervert thief? Fun!"

Good thing the money came back, too, since Kolmisoppi and his merry band now find themselves the recipients of debt collection letters from the wonderfully named Kronofogdemyndigheten. This government agency operates like a national cash collector, grabbing not just money owed the government, but also helping private citizens and businesses collect money owed to them.

Windows 7 build 7127 leaked Print E-mail

Friday, 15 May 2009
Redmond is still running low on Joe the plumbers as another Windows 7 leak surfaces today.

This time around it's the second RTM branch build to leak, 7127. Approximately a month after 7106 leaked. The build string is 7127.0.090507-1820 meaning it was compiled just over a week ago so it's still fresh off the blocks. Microsoft is progressing steadily with the RTM branch and company insiders have indicated the software giant is well on target to finalise the RTM build over the summer. Our guess? Late June or early July.

Microsoft is expected to announce general availability of Windows 7 for before the Christmas period, cashing in on holiday PC purchasers.

Nine Inch Nails Still Love Their Fans Print E-mail
Submitted by actz   
Thursday, 08 January 2009

Nine Inch Nails are probably one of the most important music groups in the world, currently, simply because they’re paving a new way of treating their fans and understanding how the internet works and how it can be used to your advantage.

 

After giving away (or selling at really cheap prices) several of their latest albums, they’ve continued to surprise fans with freebies. In a blog post on the official band web site, band leader Trent Reznor says that someone “somehow managed to film a substantial amount (over 400 GB!) of raw, unedited HD footage from three separate complete shows of our Lights in the Sky tour“, and provides a link to the footage.

Why did Facebook's fail to buy Twitter? Print E-mail
Submitted by actz   
Tuesday, 25 November 2008

Twitter resisted Facebook's overtures, in part because it questioned the valuation attached to Zuckerberg's social-networking site, which was based on the $240 million Microsoft paid for a 1.6 per cent stake in the company last year, when the stock market was riding high and the credit crunch was but a twinkle in Gordon Brown's eye.

But, perhaps more significantly, Twitter's founders also felt they had some unfinished business to attend to with the site; that its full potential as a communication platform – and a money-making enterprise – was yet to be realised.

Twitter has enjoyed an explosive rate of growth in the last year, with the registered number of users now topping six million, a 600 per cent increase in just 12 months.
