Here’s an interesting web app that Yahoo’s workin’ on that will bring not only instant messenger service but all type of social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook, etc…etc… Looks pretty good, not that I’d use it.

Yahoo demonstrated its upcoming oneConnect service at MWC 2008 held in Barcelona, Spain. It will be the first mobile product with an open architecture that aggregates communications tools such as email, instant messaging (IM), text messaging (SMS), and social networks.

Yahoo! oneConnect includes following features like Socially-connected address book, Integrated mobile messaging, Status, Pulse, Favorite and many more.
This service is expected to become available in Q2, 2008.

Moreover we’re exclusively using a new drumming application by Marc Terry (MooCowMusic) as Alpha testers. And made an own iPhone ad remake, accompanied by iBand music, and much to our delight it gets really close to the original

Looks like this kid is gonna get more than just one Xbox.

You know, sometimes people don’t realize the power of the people on the internet.

Above video is where a kid gets an “X” box for Christmas with winter clothes inside it.

I guess Engadget posted this and Microsoft might be sending him a brand new real XBOX with probably more goodies than he can handle.

Great job guys.

We’ve been flooded with email from well-meaning geeks and even Microsoft; just about everyone wants to help us hook up Jonathan. We totally appreciate the sentiment, but we’ve got this covered. We think we’ve gotten in touch with his family (who let us know he never got an Xbox, and the whole thing really was a prank on the poor kid); once we know for sure we have the right people we’ll post again.

On another plus note, I got $5 from Big Pappa and $10 from Mike to get more Soju over at SiteHoppin.com. (Thanks guys, I will be able to afford brew for couple more days!)

Android Mobile Platform SDK available for download and win $10 million by developing the best app!

Posted in Consumer, Cool, Gadgets, Google, Linux, Web, cell phones by max on the March 1st, 2008 at 11:56 am

Check out the new Android SDK, a developer’s kit so you can build apps for the new Android Platform. (Note: Android is simply an open-source operating system that can run on cellphones, it’s not the cellphone itself.)

Maybe we will try making a SiteHoppin application for the Android soon so you can hop on the new Android phones. (It already works on iPhones)

Google is also giving out $10 million to the best Android app developer. Cool stuff, we might have to start developing for that challenge.

Sergey looks like he just got up, did he take a shower yet?

On the bright side, I think Sergey and Google is doing a great job promoting open-source platforms and linux.  (Android is basically Linux hacked to run on mobile phones with lots of Google stuff embedded.)

This will be exciting as Google will really try to take over the world with cellphone software and make my GoogleMaps work better too.

Get your Android SDK here.

Playstation that tracks your face!

Posted in Consumer, Cool, Gadgets, Games, Video by max on the February 29th, 2008 at 3:21 am

This is kinda cool… except who still uses Playstation? They should have really put this on a PS2 or PS3 at least.

As you can see in the video it works great, and would be brilliant for duck-and-cover maneuvering in first-person shooters. However, as you might guess, support for games has yet to be announced

Diebold Accidentally Leaks 2008 Election Results Early

Posted in Consumer, Politics, Stupid by max on the February 28th, 2008 at 10:12 am

Lol… Diebold has a bug in their system… go figure… they need to get another company to make a voting machine, or better yet, move that voting to a web application.They should really re-do the voting this year, this is bs.  (this is a joke btw, don’t take it serously. haha)

Diebold, the company run by unscrupulous republicans that manufactures crappy, easily-hacked voting machines, has done a bang-up job of pretty much destroying many people’s confidence in the legitimacy of the democratic process. No one is better at calling out such depressing aspects of our country with biting humor like The Onion, who here tell us about how all the fun of the election this year was ruined because Diebold accidentally leaked the results ahead of time.

Preview of Google’s GPhone with the Android Linux OS

Posted in Consumer, Cool, Google, Linux, cell phones by max on the February 28th, 2008 at 10:03 am

Check out a preview of the new GPhone, basically a Samsung phone with Google’s Linux Android operating system.I think it’s got great browser which I dig the most. There’s also street view from GoogleMaps but I guess that can be useful.

Perhaps most impressive is the Street View mode of Google Maps, pulled down to the 3G prototype reference phone running at a relatively mild 300MHz. That reference design, which may or may not reflect hardware that will run Android in the future, had another interesting feature: a trackball, currently seen on Danger Hiptops and Blackberries.

Life on the rocks

Posted in Art, Consumer, Cool, Funny, Gadgets, Household by david on the February 27th, 2008 at 8:00 pm

Well it could be if these were really rocks that weigh in at 100 pounds or so, but clearly these are just soft furnishings that look like rocks.

rocks

The kids clearly love these as will any pets such as the dog, and on an eco friendly matter these are made from 100% virgin wool and naturally they are filled with hypoallergenic polysilicone filler, which just has to be good, doesn’t it?

Sizes may vary as do the colours.
