Twitter has had an astounding growth in the past year accelerating their growth by nearly 1100% (credit to The Next Web). They are now posting up more than 600 tweets a second and over 50 million tweets a day.
While this seems so amazing right now, I still can’t believe that at the writing of this post, Twitter is down for me. So now I can not proclaim the authority of my tweet out of the 50 million others that are going to be sent today.
Twitter Blasts Past 50 Million Tweets Per Day.
Apple’s iPhone and upcoming iPad are both fantastic devices for exploring the far corners of the internet. But they are just as good at communicating to people. Whether it be through the Facebook app, or through skype. But based on some suggestive pictures of the brand new SDK, it looks like Apple is going to take this communication to a whole new level.
It has long been a dream of iPhone users to have a front facing camera for video conferencing. Well according to these pictures, that might be coming true. Well at least that’s what it looks like to me. Anyone else think “AcceptVideo” could stand for something other than literally video calls?
Video Chat Coming to iPad and iPhone? [PICS].
Apple has gotten all high and mighty on us again. While they have been notoriously known for their strange and sometimes crooked app store approval, Apple has recently gone on a rampage removing apps on the app store. The victim: Porn apps. But this isn’t just naked people. The target is anything that could relate to porn in any way. That includes innuendo and how much skin can be showing in a bathing suit picture.
I can fully understand the porn problem. I honestly think that if anyone really wants to look up naked people on their phone, they’ll live with Android. But this could affect a lot of, what normal people would call a day at the beach, “safe” apps by just yanking the app store right out from under them
The New App Store Rules: No Swimsuits, No Skin, And No Innuendo.
Google has now been authorized to sell you energy just like any other distributer. This means they have extended their hand into one more thing that you use on a daily basis, but this time, will power your computer instead of the information you discover.
In all seriousness, however, Google will most likely not power your house. This is all just to better manage their off-the-charts energy usage that juices their servers. But, if they did, Google would most likely succeed in distributing power.
Energy now conquered by Google.
So Foxconn is in a sticky situation with a big rap sheet building up against them. If you don’t remember the assault of the photographer, then you should know that Foxconn has already had some problems with the press and violence, however unintentional it might be.
But the latest move by the Foxconn workers consequently ended in the burning of a factory. Based in Mexico, this factory’s workers grabbed their torches and pitchforks and went into a riot, most likely due to overtime hours and lack of pay.
Whatever it is, Foxconn needs to get their act together before their brand goes up in flames.
