Introducing Google’s Nexus One videos… have fun! :)

According to some sources of mine, I’m posting the leaked specifications of what will probably be the netbook that will be launched by Google with its Operative Sistem (Google Chrome OS). First Nexus One information was leaked, now this?… Google what’s happening to your “Top secret” attitude?
Here are the specifications:

* 10.1 inch multi-touch screen with HD quality.
* Tegra chipset from Nvidia.
* Runs on Google Chrome OS.
* ARM CPU (better than intel Atom and has a low battery power consumption).
* 2 GB RAM.
* WiFi.
* Bluetooth.
* 3G.
* Ethernet port.
* USB ports.
* webcam.
* 3.5 mm audio jack.
* multi-card reader.

Google Phone a.k.a. Nexus One, one of the most talked Mobil devices of the last half of the  android-b 2009 will makes it debut sooner than you think… it’ll be the first week of the new year.
How it’s leaked this information? that’s because an internal T-Mobile update on his website says: “Google, with support from T-Mobile, is scheduled to launch a new Android device in early January.”

This confirms earlier reports that suggested the device would launch on or around January 5, which makes sense given CES is also taking place that week. The update also confirms that the phone will be sold directly by GoogleGoogle via the web, with T-Mobile offering “billing, coverage, features and rate plans.”

Other key details, like Google’s retail pricing and potential discounts that might come with a T-Mobile contract remain to-be-determined. What appear to full specs of the device, however, were leaked on the web last week.

Adam Ostrow (Mashable’s journalist)

Btw… Panama’s Technology websites or Blogs that have Technology spaces in which you post daily news about MS, Google, Etc… get updated please! =D

Update: Google has announced a Press Conference on January 5th.  Is this the Nexus’ One launch day?

Update2: Prices (According to Mashable)

Price: $530 unsubsidized and unlocked (ouch!), $180 subsidized on the T-Mobile network with a 2 year contract.

- Rate Plan: $79.99 per month on T-Mobile, which includes unlimited texting/MMS and web data, along with 500 minutes. This seems to be the only plan available, even if you’re already on another plan with T-Mobile

- Purchasing: You can buy up to five Nexus One phones per Google account.

- Cancellation: If you cancel within 120 days, you have to pay the subsidy difference ($350) or return the phone to Google.

LockerzMany people around the globe always look at the internet for things like “Free gifts”, “Free stuff”, “How to hack” and many others things, well I’m going to talk to you about one effective way that I know in which you can get free cool stuff (like iPods, xbox, playstations 3, earphones, etc) in a non-pay way.

It’s, for saying in some way, the best way of "working” online, and the best part… it works.

The website’s name: Lockerz
What do you have to do? get invited (I’ve invitations if you want one, only send me a mail here) after that It’s pretty simple.

Rules:
NEW: now you can watch videos and get 2ptz per video (there're over 100 or more)
1) If you log in the website –> 2ptz (only one time in a day)
2) If you answer the dailies –> 2ptz (only one time in a day)
3) If you suggest it to your friends –> 2ptz per friend on the site.
4) If you get 20 friends on the website you get Z-List membership, that means that you’re a VIP member and you gain 4ptz instead of 2ptz when you answer the dailies.

There are redeems day (in which you can redeem the gift you want), and the best prices I’ve seen in the site are in accessible ptz prices.
For example:
iPod Touch = 650 ptz
Nintendo Wii = 250 ptz
Xbox 360 Elite = 675 ptz
Playstation 3 = 625 ptz

The deal here is that you’ve to put your ZIP code or your postal code, the country and the direction in which you want lockerz to send your gift. The best part? Every gift that is sent to latin america reachs to panama first and then it’s distributed to the other countries.

It’s the best website yet I’ve ever seen that offers free stuff only for asking a question like today’s dailies: Sun or Snow? and the best part?
There’re no wrong answer.

Hello fellows! I hope you had an awesome holidays, I did xD.. but now I’m back to the blog and I’m trying to release every week (I will try) the FAIL of the week, what’s this? an annoying thing that everyone see or use or do, and it’s quite of lame or can be badly criticized.

The fail of the week,  the FAKES HOW-TO GROUPS AND SITES , ¿Quién visitó tu perfil? (este sí funciona)people… wake up! I’ve talking for a while about things that are quite annoying in facebook, but THIS is the most lame thing I’ve ever seen on a social platform.

Why it’s a fail?
About a 60-70% of the people who use facebook, add this “hacking tools” to activate secret functions, but the thing here is… if facebook is the #1 platform for private stalking, and it’s a well developed social site… do you think that simple instructions like “Invite everyone and wait 24 hours” will hack facebook? if you think so… I’ve bad news for you.

What’s wrong with the logistic of the fake social engineering  to add more people?
I’ll say that’s the simple instructions for hacking, I mean if you want to make it more believable, put more steps or things that people maybe can verify. I’ve seen 2 sites on facebook that have good methods of pishing.

What’s wrong wrong wrong damn WRONG?!
People
believe everything on the site, I mean the instructions or the steps are the same in every damn group but they add them.

Do you want to stalk somebody? It’s quite simple, just look for the person and click on his/her name, if you don’t know in the last privacy implements all the profiles were open, so exists a 70% of probability that the person you’re looking for has his or her facebook open, of course if he or her didn’t makes what I did, put it very very private.

In conclusion, people wake up! this sites go against facebook privacy rules, so if they’re on facebook they can’t go against, so that it’s a lie.

Hey everybody! As you can see this isn’t a new or something like that… it’s only a message explaining that I’m not going to cover any news ‘till Saturday 26. The important thing here’s is that I wish you a Merry Christmas, God bless you and your family & friends and makes this one of the best Christmas you've ever had.

Remember also to thanks for everything you’ve, and that the best thing in Christmas is give and not receive.

Hope you’ve an excellent day tomorrow!
Best Wishes. Arles Pinzón

Updated: RIM (Research in Motion) and also company of the blackberrys has made some declarations telling that the interruption of the services was produced this Tuesday affecting the blackberry’s users in almost 75% of America (In my opinion)

The cool stuff in the Blackberrys such as Messenger, BBM, Internet and many other were affected others like making calls or sms weren’t. But what was the main cause? An update that apparently was released to all the smartphones yesterday (version 5.0.0.55 and 5.0.0.56).

FTR: There has been already 3 cases like that in USA but the most significant ‘till now was the one from yesterday because it affected the mayor part of America including Latin America and also South America.

I’ll keep updating this article as long as I receive information. Stay tuned.

Update: The service here in Panama is little by little getting back to normal, but still there’s some issues.

This is a totally fresh new over the internet, the first pictures of what Firefox 4.0 would be have leaked around. I’ll only explain what you can see in this pictures:

1) There’s no more: File, Edit, Blablabla… there’s now a more “Start” button like it’s on Microsoft Windows Vista & Windows Se7en & Office. 
2) Redesigned search bar and Icons. (Included the Glass or the Aero)
3) Generals graphic user interface aspects improved.
4) Also and obvious the performance has been improved but I’m also referring here about the graphic and the visual appearance of the program.

This are the proposes that Firefox team receive for the “Firefox Button”

And this is the Bookmark section added to the Firefox under the search bar

As the end of this decade is coming and soon we’ll begin a new one it’s obvious many people are evaluating what’s the most <fill the blank> of the decade, so that… many people over the internet have reach to the conclusion of what is the #1 top media innovation network of the decade.

In my personal opinion there are three over there that are the most important: Facebook, Twitter, Youtube. Only with a simple analysis we know those 3 are the most prominent of the internet, I mean even though there are countries that are in process of been a develop country have over 80% of their population on Facebook or Twitter or Youtube, but the real question is… Who’s the winner?

And the winner is… Youtube.
Why? I look for more professional thoughts about, check this out:

Youtube didn’t even exist for more than half the decade, but a perfect storm of increasing bandwidth, advances in Flash, and the rise of social networks (where YouTube content could be embedded) made 2005 the perfect time for the site to make its debut. The growth was meteoric, and within 18 months, the website became one of the most trafficked on the web and the company was sold to Google for $1.6 billion.

What are the basics improve Youtube is expecting for this new decade:
- Citizen Journalism
- Embeddable Content
- Break the paradigms of “Only the ones on TV can be Journalist”

And in the next 10 years Youtube will try to make this possible:
- TV with internet connection will have have Youtube or at least Youtube will be prepared for that Challenge of a TV with internet connection.
- Youtube will try to reach to smartphones.
- Youtube will try to go out with Live video over the social platform taking Live by the new era of citizen journalism.

Summary of a Mashable’s article.

Many people around the world know about the Twitter platform, the question that I’ve heard on the streets and in the College is the following, does twitter receive money for what they do?  The answer: Yes, but… the real question is… how many?

Due to the fact that Twitter is a social platform based on tweets or status updates that in my personal opinion 80% – 90% are public, Twitter has turn a big and important point of reference if you want to search for opinions, preferences, or as many of us do… news. 

What does twitter figure out? Twitter realize that as they’re one of the important search engine for opinions, thoughts, news, etc… the best deal to make will be with Google and Microsoft. That’s why one or two weeks ago they incorporate real time search (Google) and  twitter-based search (Microsoft) so that twitter makes a small profit this year off of $25 million in revenue. What does the deal make? ok it’s simple it incorporates your status updates in the time-line search on Google or you can search for something more specific in Bing.
(In my opinion, Google’s won this time the challenge, it’s better than the Twitter-bing website)

For new year, we want things to start over, or things to re-start or a fresh new star for something, well… why not a re-start over the facebook layout?

- huge search bar to make search a core part of Facebook

- numerous design tweaks

Have a nice day!

And what if you don’t want something that someone post? you look for the option “don’t like”1258671755 but it’s not near from the “like” option does it? What can you do? ok let’s install the don’t like option.
What you’ve to do? First you’ve to have Firefox installed, after that you’ve to go to this dierction: http://bit.ly/4Gvdup and install the plug-in, and then you’ve to restart the firefox. That’s it!. Easy huh?

Windows Phone, iPhone (from Mac) two of the best smart phones that the humanity has seen yet, until now. Google Phone, is here. Google phone is the #1 trending topic in social media and communication stuff, it has Droid as operating System (of course) and as I’d post before it’s a linux based OS.

Many speculation were made about Google Phone, and now (searching a little) we’ve got some pictures, here they are:

nexusonesmall       googlenexusone 

nexusone2   nexusone3large

It seems very promising, don’t you think?

Aren’t you tired of all this thing about changing everything in your computer only because you want a better or more styled computer OS? The solution in the case you don’t have the enough money to change your PC or to buy new stuff for it like RAM or a expensive video card is either using Windows 7 or using XP with some “tips” for customization.
That’s why here I bring to you some useful tips I found over the internet and I want to share with you people.

1) Haven’t you aero?
In case you don’t Have aero, and you’re using Windows XP for example, you can use Windows Aero on your PC in an easiest way than buying an expensive graphic card. How? it’s call BS ( it’s not what you’re thinking xD) it’s Border Skin.
it’s a simple program that change the bored blue/gray/green XP borders and change them into a Windows Vista or Se7en aero look.
Very useful huh?


2) Many windows, icons, random folders? Use a dock.
It’s an incredible tool for organizing what you’re doing, your icons, maybe what you’re watching and also to group folders you use to visit; I recommend Nexus Dock.

3) Don’t use lame wallpapers, use HD (High Definition) Wallpapers.
Here you can find good stuff, I totally recommend this website and I use to visit it daily for updating my Desktop Style.

I’ll try to update you in more visual aspects. This post is only a general review.

for (c=0;c<10;c++)
{
WTF IS WRONG WITH HUMANITY?
}
Only for making it clear, I’ll talk a little about something that was really annoying for me and I saw it today at movie theater.
Publicity, what about it? OK I’ll explain: Publicity is the “art” of making you or convince you to take a decision, to buy something, to do something persuading your senses by visual effects, graphics or audio.
Now, having explained before… how it’s possible that a University like “Universidad Santa María la Antigua” (U.S.M.A.) pull out a commercial talking about that the System Engineering career that they have is based on the argument that “You’re a System Engineer if you use Ctrl + Alt + Supr” ?? That’s all you’ve to offer the new generations? that’s all you’re going to teach to the interested and wealthy kids that might go to that college? if that so… I’m very glad, why? because UTP students (us) will not going to have  any competition in an near or far future, like the song “We’re gonna rock this town”
It’s obvious that here we don’t have those elemental topics in our career, I mean… I’m pretty sure I bring a “cholito” and I put him/her in front of the PC and he’ll now how to turn it on and how to run the programs, I mean it’s not that hard you know?. The really hard thing is how to create a program, how to logically create an algorithm that resolves a problem, and much more (the things that I mentioned before are only first year of college stuff, but I think in USMA it’s like graduation project //I’m talking exclusively of my career on the USMA not other good careers that I know are there)
I just want to say, people… WAKE UP.

Style, Good Performance, Linux-based operating system, and of course in alliance with Google; those are the basics characteristics of what Droids phones are, in summary just amazing phones.
It’s not something new, the Droid phones have been on the USA market  almost for 2 month already but  here in Panama City they are not.

What’s new with these devices? they are the future, and they’ve been cataloged by huge gadget-rating companies as the best gadgets of these 2009. They’ve every single function iPhone has and also the ones from Google like Google Voice ( for making calls and all of that, that was kind of banned from iTunes Store), Google earth, Google maps, GMail, and soon Google Wave.

As I said before, they have open source operative system on them (they’re not like a single phone or iPhone or Blackberrys) that’s a linux based operating system. The performance just amazing, the social comunication tools incorporated in the phone to stay connected with facebook platform and twitter are just what a social media comunicator or a regular user wants.

Here’s a video.

Twitter yeah.. a little stalker, Facebook umm.. really really stalker, but now Messenger to include Twitter & Facebook in the new Wave 4?

Here’s the deal, we’re currently on Wave 3 (for those who don’t know much about techy things about Messenger), and the principal characteristics that takes the attention of thousands of users could say bye bye in this new Wave denominated 4.

Today’s morning were released some pictures of what could be the next generation of Messenger that integrates online social media ( connected with Facebook and twittemessenger10r ) and also a non-attractive looking for a instant messaging software.

Here’s what is eliminated from the 2009 edition:
- Windows Scenes (the skins)
- The Hotmail Icon

Here’s what is on the new version that the 2009 hasn’t:
- “History”  icon in the Chat Window.
- Sidebar of social media platforms.

 

messenger2 
As my personal opinion and also like an ex-betatester of Windows Live products I should say that wasn’t what I was expecting, I wanted more aero-kind style something really se7enish, or at least more cool stuff to play with, but none of it was seen on the pictures.
I’m really hoping that as it’s a beta version it is going to improve when it comes out to RC and it’s going to be better when it comes out on early 2010.

The hot new album from 30 seconds to Mars is out today for all of you. I’m not a really fan of this kind of music but I’d to admit that they have good songs, I personally like one that’s called “From Yesterday” and it’s quite a good piece of work.

Sin más que decir, esto es lo que les tengo que ofrecer. Calle 13 se encuentra lanzando sus críticas sobre la organización del evento que se realizó el día de ayer en Panamá.

Evento en el cual también cantaría Ruben Blades. El concierto ,a mi parecer y según lo que se ha escuchado mundanamente o en el diario cotidiano, era de Ruben Blades y desde el día de hoy hace poco tiempo, el Cantante del Grupo Calle 13 ha posteado en su twitter alguna de las criticas que a su parecer deberían corregirse.

Si quieren accesar al twitter de calle13 es: www.twitter.com/Calle13Oficial

When we search over the web, we’re looking information updated and also relevant information, that means information that maybe everybody is talking about or we want to check if the information we’re searching for is what we want to find watching the group of people that talk of it, for example if we’re looking for Graphic Design products or software we’re not going to search in a webpage that is a farmer’s blog or we’re not going to fundament an opinion of graphic design based of what we heard of it by a medicine student, the point here is that for search matters the people that talk about something and the time you spend finding it.

Now Google presents the new killing-bing feature “Real Time Search”, with this new tool running on our Google search page, it makes your life better when you’re trying to get to an information or you want really fresh information on the web.

Here’s a video for that
