Now with just a few days before the big reveal, the good folks at AndroidPolice seem to have gotten their hands on the APK of the upcoming Facebook phone.

Posterous is dead, save your account!

About a year ago, you may recall hearing that Twitter had acquired Posterous Spaces. Twitter has been on a tear buying up platforms like Posterous and Tweetdeck for quite some time now, to get rid of competition, to quell the growth of features they deem “not official”, to add features they need to stay competitive (Vine, for example, and its bid for Instagram), and, it has … Continue reading Posterous is dead, save your account!

Instagram goes browser – the final velvet rope lifted

Back when Instagram first popped onto the scene, they invited everyone to take pictures of their everyday meanderings and share. All were welcomed as long as you had an iPhone. It was at once an internet status symbol and the ire of those who weren’t “cool enough” to party with digital photo filters. Instagram has since added an Android app (we’ve all but lost hope … Continue reading Instagram goes browser – the final velvet rope lifted

Instagram blocks Twitter; is this “a better Instagram for everyone?”

Facebook Groups Updated, Now Your private group isn’t so private

“Hey would you like to support my band, cause, or secret society? Join our Facebook Group!” And join you did – back in 2007. If you thought that once you left you’d never have to be reminded of that group you left years back, apparently that is not the case.

Roundup: IT Fun

I enjoy doing helpdesk stuff most of the time. Not all of the time, though.  Amazon unveils Glacier, super cheap data archive service. This isn’t your average cloud service, but rather a service focused on rarely-accessed data. It comes as cheap as a penny per Gigabyte per month. The idea is to bundle your files into one archive, then upload it for retrieval when needed. The archives are … Continue reading Roundup: IT Fun
