We won’t question you or why you would want to do this; maybe you’re stalking your ex, or perhaps you just want that certain celebrity to respond to your millionth tweet that they’ve again ignored. Well, there’s a way to go around the DM’ing someone only if they’re following you thing, and that’s by using a little known service called Twitgram. — More after the break!
I’m an avid promoter of Gamefly, having taken a subscription in 2007 and never looking back since. I try convert as many Blockbuster customers as possible toward it, and now it looks like there’s a whole new reason to be part of the club. Gamefly is ready to launch its own digital distribution application for desktops where you can download PC titles, as well as manage your games que, and read the latest news. — More after the break!
While other email clients like Apple’s email or even Outlook have had preview panes for what seems like forever, it’s taken Gmail up until this very week to throw in the feature. But man, are we glad they did. Checking the mail has never been easier than just giving it a quick glance instead of having to go back and forth between emails and the inbox. — Learn how to enable it after the break!
As you probably know, there are many browsers available like Safari, Internet Explorer, Opera and Chrome. They all have something in common — they are designed for the everyman, the non-tech savvy consumer — they are simple, fast and lightweight with big buttons and simple layouts, but we are geeks and we need control. Mozilla Firefox was built for us with the power we need with all sorts of buttons and boxes strewn all over the screen and Addons galore. Firefox was big, bad, ugly and we loved it — but it looks like that’s about to change.
Twitter has told developers that new tools have been given to their API that allows users to flag content in tweets as sensitive, or NSFW. The option seems to be a two-way street, allowing the poster of the original image or those who view the image to flag it. I usually don’t see a whole lot of NSFW images on Twitter, but then again I may be using it wrong. — Details after the break!
I have had so much trouble trying to keep a schedule for myself on my Google Clandar and iCal and I have never found out why. I figured I was just lazy, or maybe I didn’t need a calendar at all, but after months of having no calendar I couldn’t keep myself on track, and I was late (or missed out) on everything! It was such a horrible feeling, but I had no clue how to make it all work — then it hit me…
Someone at Skype got a case of trigger-finger this week and decided to upload the video presentation of their new iPad client to Youtube. A short while later, it was gone, but Skype should know already that if something cool appears online, it’s already been uploaded a dozen more times — and here it is, Skype for iPad… and it looks “not too bad”.
