editorial: aol just done out flipped flip board
8/06/2011
In an attemp to get back in the mobile electronics game, aol decided to enter (the already crowded) game of daily news. Note, the daily nebraskan has been a part of this game for years. If you have ever used the flip board app for iPad then you know how sweet it is. For those who don't know, flip board basically takes daily news and puts it into a more eye friendly format. Aol does the same thing with what it calls editions but it makes it even more user based. After downloading the app, the first thing it has you do is connect to facebook, twitter, and naturally aim. Once connected to all of these it has you select the content that you would like to see in your magazine and it even has you pick the colors that you want the color of your daily magazines to be. After going through the initial process, a magazine is delivered to your iPad daily with exactly the content you want on it. Best part, it's free!Source: A TDN Original

IPad only newspaper for only $.99...a week
8/03/2011
I am a nerd. My dream day starts with waking up in the morning to a cup of hot coffee, whipping out the iPad and reading the newspaper. Well among all his faults, Rupert Murdoch has done something right, and that is creating an iPad only newspaper for $.99 a week of $39 a year. Don't think for one second that you will be ripped off of good content because of it's low price. The newspaper is delivered every day and stuffed with good informaton. Source: A TDN Original
back on the trail of d.b. cooper
8/01/2011
The news of D.B. Cooper is long gone. Right? Wrong! The FBI are back and hot on the trail of D.B. Cooper. Here is a quick summary of what Dan Cooper did 40 years ago. D.B. extorted $200,000, then hijacked an airplane (he ordered a whiskey and while the flight attendant was serving him a drink he handed her a napkin that said "I HAVE A BOMB IN MY BRIEFCASE. I WILL USE IT IF NECESSARY. I WANT YOU TO SIT NEXT TO ME. YOU ARE BEING HIJACKED") just to make a daring jump with a parachute and has never been seen since.
The recent tip provided to the FBI came from a law enforcement member who directed investigators to a person who might have helpful information on the suspect, FBI spokeswoman Ayn Sandalo Dietrich told The Seattle Times on Sunday. She called the new information the "most promising lead we have right now," but cautioned that investigators were not on the verge of breaking the case.

IPHONE 5 COVERAGE: this weeks iphone 5 rumors round-up
7/30/2011
And this weeks big story was the supposed leaked case of the upcoming iPhone 5. Above is a picture of the case thus showing the potential for a bigger screen and slimmer design which have essentially been the rumors since the beginning. The case shows space for an edge to edge screen hence the slim rubber edge around the case. From what I can see, it looks like the case might have mildly rounded edges in the back, propelling the rumors of a slightly curved back.
A poll that was taken this week shows that over 30% of current iPhone owners have already considered the iPhone 5 and they don't even know what it looks likes yet. Stay tuned to TDN for the latest.
IPHONE 5 COVERAGE: the idea of a iphone 4S dead thanks to a statement from verizon
7/23/2011
The Original Spectulated iPhone 4S
Here is the quote that makes the idea of an iPhone 4S dead. "We are probably what I would view as maybe a quarter behind what we had talked about in January, primarily because we expected an iPhone 5 refresh sometime this summer. We don’t know when the next one is going to come out. You will have to ask Apple that, but we expect that probably sometime in the fall, and I think you will see a significant jump there when we get to that point." That quote comes from CEO Lowell McAdam. Thanks to that quote, you can now assume that the next iPhone to come out will be a make-over versus the speculation of a refresh.

7/19/2011
Naturally the Google+ app has been available for android devices since the beginning, but those with iPhones have had to stick to the Google+ mobile site. The time has now come for a Google+ iPhone app. I have played with both the iPhone and the Android variations of the app and they run primarily the same except for some minor visual queues. At least google is finally showing some iPhone love.Click HERE to download the app

love listening to free music? well spotify loves giving it to us.
7/15/2011
Finally. As our European friends have been telling us for years, Spotify ($Free) is what the long-rumored iTunes subscription service was supposed to be. Boasting a catalog of 15 million songs, it lets you search for and listen to specific songs, artists, and entire albums (for up to 10 hours a month), after which you'll need to pony up $5 for the Premium service and unlimited computer-based listening or $10 for the Unlimited service, which gives you app access from your iPhone or Android device, the ability to download music for listening online, enhanced sound quality, and much more. Sorry iTunes Match, but you're no match for this.Source: Uncrate
out with google, in with blekko
7/15/2011
the video will explain everything, no need to write an article about it
blekko: how to slash the web from blekko on Vimeo.
as a side note, i find it funny that when he sorts things by a conservative point of view, fox news is one of the websites that he uses as an example. fair and balanced? doubt it.

skype and facebook fire up a spicy relationship
7/06/2011
It ain't the first time Mark Zuckerberg has taken the stage to announce... something, but today's shindig is resulting in "something" that's a bit more exciting for the average user. As rumored, the world's most notable VoIP service is set to become exceedingly integrated with the world's most notable social network. Skype has just thrown up a teaser page for v5.3 for Windows (and v5.5 Beta), noting that Skype and Facebook will aim to provide "the best of both worlds."
Zuck is primarily announcing three main things today: group chat, a new way to chat ("an easier way to find someone who is online") and Skype-enabled video chat. Oh, and the tiny, tiny fact that there's now 750 million Facebook members. What's notable is just how easy it is to fire up a group chat (or send transcripts to group members who miss out) and get a video call going using your existing Skype contact list. A single click is all it takes, and we're told that it'll be rolled out to everyone "over the next few weeks" in 70 different languages. The new chat design will be scalable based on your browser size, and the company made a point to mention that it'll be listening closely to user input in order to iterate as it moves forward.
Tony Bates stepped up to the plate, and noted that over 300 million videocall minutes a month are going through Skype, and at peak times, over half of its traffic is video. He also noted that the technology behind it was "tough" to construct, but somehow it managed to hammer this whole thing out in around six months via joint development. There's also talk about future "paid products" in due time, and it's strikingly clear that this partnership isn't going to fade anytime soon. If you're looking to take a dive yourself, hit up the source links below for the Windows applications, and wear that F5 button out over at Facebook's homepage if you're more of the "in-browser" type.
Oh, and if you're curious about mobile -- video chat isn't active on that front yet, and Mark's not spilling any details on "when." To quote him on a question of time tables: "We'll see."
