HTML5 Drops the Time Element | Webmonkey | Wired.com - 0 views

  •  
    HTML 5 drops the proposed element which means that there will be no semantically meaningful way to specify publication dates in HTML5. "Hickson claims that the element wasn't being used for two of its primary use cases, namely easier CSS styling and to indicate publication dates for web documents."

Video Application: The New-Age Cover Letter | Pinhopes - 0 views

  •  
    A cover letter gives you a chance to make a case for yourself, and cover everything you cannot express in your resume. It affords you an opportunity to come across as real people and explain your suitability for the desired position, to potential employers. Companies often look for thoughtfully written cover letters, as a method of screening applicants who lack the necessary skills or interest for the said position. Cover letter can thus form into a marketing vehicle for any prospective job seeker.

Twitter to Add Photo Filters to Compete With Instagram - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  •  
    This article mentions the fact that Twitter now plans to update its mobile applications to introduce filters for photos allowing people to share altered images without having to use another source such as Instagram. Since most phones come with high-resolution cameras and many of the Twitter users use their phones this will be an easy way for people to edit and upload their photos. Especially with people or famous celebrities that use Instagram then share them on Twitter where more people follow them it will be easier and faster to just use Twitter for it all. This new idea has been hastened when Facebook bought Instagram. Twitter was thinking of buying a different photo service or application but when weighing out the cost they decided to just build their own filters. Twitter is also exploring the ability to upload and edit videos without using a third-party application like YouTube. This article has a lot to do with economics and the battle between two companies trying to get people to use their site and apps and not the other. In this case Twitter is really trying to become the most popular and important social networking site where people will be able to do anything on and it will be instant. They are changing what they once were to try to morph into Facebook because of the increasing popularity of Instagram and the fact that Facebook bought it.  I think personally that Twitter is making a good decision about the filter but i don't think twitter should add their own video player because it would change twitter and its purpose of being instant statements and pictures. YouTube is good at what they do and twitter should stay out of it. However with the whole idea of adding filters to Twitter you get the benefits of Instagram with the benefits of Twitter which might just keep them on top of Instagram.

    Following Facebook's purchase of Instagram for almost $1 Billion in April 2012, it seems appropriate that Twitter would integrate something similar into their users' experience. 'Inside sources' say that Twitter is working on a photo-filter system that will be integrated directly in the site and mobile apps that hopes to bypass third-party services (such as Instagram.) While Instagram is a social network that focuses on social images with limited text, Twitter is renowned for its 140 character text-based updates with occasional images. An advantage of Twitter's supposed photo filtering system would be that there would most likely be a website equivalent to the mobile app, a problem that has plagued Instagram users who want a PC experience. As of now, there have been no official confirmations by Twitter, but the idea of a Twitter-exclusive photo sharing system seems interesting; although the market is currently saturated by Instagram, which can export images to other social networks, including Twitter. Legally, Facebook and Instagram may be able to take action against Twitter, depending on how similar their filtering system will be. This relates to eLifestyle and ICS20 because as social network users, we are always searching for ways to monetize our networks to one cohesive experience; another photo-sharing application seems arbitrary when there is already a capable system (Instagram.)

OS X Mountain Lion to be download-only, USB stick going the way of the dodo -- Engadget - 0 views

  •  
    It is really not the time to be doing this. Especially since some people in different parts of the country are still on Dial-Up because that's all they can get. Also, isn't it usually a good idea to have a recovery DVD just in case your OS stops booting?

You will never lose your dog again - 0 views

  •  
    This is a new device that just attaches to dog collars. It will track the pet down no matter where it goes. it just attaches to the collar, so that you will never lose your dog. you just have to charge the battery before going on a walk because the battery only lasts a week, but if you do not charge it regulary then that number will obviously decrease. this device comes with an app so that you can use your phone too.this device will help new pet owners find their pets in case something goes wrong. Maybe I should get one for my brother, he doesn't take directions like "stay here," or "follow me," very well.

    BlackBerry users in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, India, and other parts of the world have been stuck without BlackBerry Messenger and internet access for over two days now.

A Case Of The Drops: Is Third-Party Smartphone Insurance Necessary? - 0 views

  •  
    Many people have a smartphone, and we all know how dangerous carrying one can be. It's kind of like carrying glass - it can break at any time. Original equipment warranties DO NOT usually cover phone repairs if it is broken, or has water damage. So, some look to third-party device warranty companies. SquareTrade is a company like such, and it gives insurance for what Apple and other OEMs don't cover. Thought it might feel like a scam to you, it's probably worth the money, to protect your phone. phone companies are great for giving you phones, just not for fixing them. So, what other option do we have?

Japan's Ministry of Defense develops spherical drone - 0 views

  •  
    This drone is quite impressive because not only can this drone fly it is able to adapt to many obstacles that it may encounter such as being hit by something, in which case the drone would still be able to absorb the impact and continue flying. The drone also has the ability to move vertically and horizontally at speeds up to 60 mph. I find this drone incredible, and something that may lead to the future of our armed forces.
