Spout: Twitter, Facebook and news style

Spout: Twitter, Facebook and news style...



Spout is a new way to manage the flow of messages, tweets and comments you receive on Twitter, through Facebook and Google Reader in a different way. Spout displays different types of information in a way cool, giving a central role to the text, and the tail is a client. You can not send messages, but is simply a reader that converts iPad in a window (with design) is open to the network.


The app, Universal, is available on the App Store to 0.79 €. I've already scaricata.sto moving.

The items end up on your device, turning, rolling and sliding on the screen, the center will stop for a moment, like a leaf on a pond before a new message to take the place of the former. Touching the surface of a browser built in the APA will send you straight to the source of the news, leaving quietly observe the hypnotic Spout.

The three app favorite Tom Merritt

The three app favorite Tom Merritt...



Tom Merritt's Tech News Today was blocked by TUAW to tell what are your three favorite apps for the iPhone. Merritt, who has a lot to do with technology, was caught at the last CES, and has filed three applications rather famous.


The first is Twitter. The official social network app, Tweetie, borrowed to represent an excellent demonstration of an excellent app for iPhone and iPod touch. Merritt claims to use on a daily basis, despite early had not attracted.

TripIt allows you to organize your trip via mail, allows the traveler to keep organized Merritt for their travels.

In the last Fruit Ninja, the hilarious game where the player through the Rapids on the screen shot must slice fruit are launched into the air, represents a great pastime for Merritt, simple and lightweight, for use in dead moments.

Twizzler, a tweak to remove the annoying trend bar from Twitter [Cydia]

Twizzler, a tweak to remove the annoying trend bar from Twitter [Cydia]...

Yesterday, the official Twitter client developers for iPhone have released a major update to this application that, among the new features introduced (and removed, see support for Twitlonger), presents a new bar dedicated to trending topics. This innovation, which goes to appear at the top of the timeline, it was pretty much criticized by all users. However, thanks to a new tweak Twizzler, present in Cydia, you can remove this annoying bar official Twitter application installed on your iPhone.

The tweak, developed from Chpwn, will simply remove the presence of the bar of trending topics, thus restoring the normal use of Twitter for iPhone. Will not install any new icon on the Home of the iPhone and you won't have to adjust any settings. If you want to restore the bar in question, simply disable the extension of Mobile Substrate "Twizzler" via SBSettings or similar, or uninstall tweak from Cydia.

Twizzler can be downloaded for free via the BigBoss repo.

Jailbreak Untethered iOS 4.3: The exploit will be released next week?

According to allegations made by Stefan Esser, developer tools Antid0te (@ i0n1c on Twitter), a new hacker completely anonymous and unknown, at least for the scene of the jailbreak, is about to release a new exploit for unlocking the untethered IOS 4.3.

In the message posted on Twitter by i0n1c reads:

I heard that SecureTips release an exploit for untethered iOS 4.3 after next weekend. Follow for more news.

Apparently, if this option were to be confirmed, could be released a new jailbreak for untethered iOS 4.3 before it is published this version of firmware from Apple, or shortly after the release of same. Perhaps you're wondering how this is possible: the answer is rather curious.

That, according to Stefan Esser, SecureTips would be an anonymous hacker who works for Apple. Therefore it is easy to assume that the person in question has already been able to thoroughly study the new firmware 4.3 which will be released later this month we remember, so having a way to work on new vulnerabilities that allow even the jailbreak this version of IOS.

At the moment there is no further information about it, but as always we will keep you updated.

Preview of App Store applications on Twitter

If you do not like this guy, better get another. That's what Apple should think, is that the company after you see how Facebook makes things difficult again and again, seem ready to turn Twitter into your favorite social tool.

First it was the simplest steps, user accounts related to the contents of iTunes, the App Store or even news. Then came the personalized links to shorten addresses advertising iTunes and now comes the preview of applications.

And thanks to the last function built into the new design of Twitter, where users can view a preview and screenshots iOS application without leaving the page of Twitter.

Just click on the tweet, you can access the drop-down allows us to view images of certain services, YouTube videos and now the App Store applications without having to go to iTunes.

Twitter for Android updated to version 2.0.0

The official Twitter client for Android at this very hour receives a significant upgrade, moving then to version 2.0. Here are all new in this version:

* Improved navigation and layout of the page
* Research phonebook contacts that are on twitter
* Global search
* Autocomplete
* Improved image loading

Letter from AmeriKat: Happy Thanksgiving!

Although the AmeriKat was miles away from her computer last week as she was instead kicking up the leaves in Clifton Village (picture, left) while venturing around her old Bristol alma mater, she is back this week in time to spread the Thanksgiving cheer. Thanksgiving is this Thursday, and for those who have followed the AmeriKat will know that it is her most favorite of holidays; copious amounts of roast birds (meow!), mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie together with very little activity except changing the TV channels between football games - what is not to love?! The joy of Thanksgiving, because it is a non-denominational holiday, is that all Americans can and will celebrate it. Besides the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving is the most participatory and democratic of holidays.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Lone senator stalls the controversial Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act

A reminder of the importance of democracy in the US came late last Friday when a single senator, Senator Ron Wyden (D-Oregon, picture, right) stalled the Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act (COICA) at a committee hearing. The Bill, which would have given the federal government power to shut down or block websites that participate in copyright infringement, had been unanimously approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday. Wyden's objection may have the effect of postponing the Bill until the next Congress convenes. Wyden stated that:

"Deploying this statute to combat online copyright infringement seems almost like using a bunker-busting cluster bomb, when what you need is a precision-guided missile."

The Bill provides for the creation of a blacklist of websites that the US Government can seize if based in the US or require an ISP to block if they are located abroad. The Bill, which amends Chapter 113 of Title 18 of the US Code (which deals with stolen property) has the effect of targeting websites which are "dedicated to" and are "primarily designed" for copyright infringing activities or have no other "demonstrable commercially significant purpose or use" - which is one of those lofty definitions which makes the AmeriKat grimace. The actions are brought by a state's Attorney General who will apply to the court for an injunctive order to be served on the website domain registrant directly (if located in the jurisdiction) or on an ISP (if located outside the jurisdiction) with the effect of removing or blocking the website from the Domain Name System. There is no provision in the Bill requiring a hearing, trial or defence from the party served with one of these orders. The Bill also provides powers to stop credit card companies from authorizing transactions that occur on these websites. All court orders will be alerted to the Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator, Victoria Espinel (picture, top left), who will post the domain names on a publicly available website with relevant information on the order.

Mr IP Senator himself, Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont) who co-sponsored the Bill said:

"Few things are more important to the future of the American economy and job creation than protecting our intellectual property. That is why legislation is supported by both labor and industry, and Democrats and republications are standing together."

However, critics have blasted the legislation as being overly severe and too broadly worded which would have the effect in practice of censoring websites that the government just doesn't like. The Electronic Frontiers Foundation, who have posted a list of websites that that they believe will be the first targeted if COICA is passed, stated that

"Blacklisting entire sites out of the domain name system is a reckless scheme that will undermine global Internet infrastructure and censor legitimate online speech."

It has been suggested that Senator Wyden will now attempt to put as many procedural roadblocks in the way of the Bill until the new Congress takes session in 2011, at which point the Bill will have to be resubmitted. At the end of September the man credited with technology central to the Internet, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, called the recent spate of bills threatening to block and cut off access to the Internet as a "blight".

The AmeriKat will be watching to see how Senator Wyden's roadblocking progresses.

Supreme Court hears gray goods arguments in Omega v Costco

The US Supreme Court heard arguments last week in the case of Omega v Costco (see previous AmeriKat reports here for detailed analysis of the case and arguments), a case appealed from the Ninth Circuit (California) which has the power to impact the future of the multibillion dollar "gray goods market". The "gray goods market" is where companies sell their products at a cheaper price to distributors based in countries other than where the product is ultimately retailed. Retailers, like Costco, will then buy the products from these overseas distributors and import them into the US to sell at a discount - a third off in the case of Costco's sale of the Omega Seamaster line.

The argument centers on whether Omega can use a copyrighted logo on one of their lines of watches as a mechanism for stopping Costco from selling them at a discount in their US stores. Costco is arguing that the Supreme Court extend their 1998 ruling of Quality King Distributors v L'Anza Research International (1998) which held that copyright owners do not have a right to control the market of their goods that have been imported and re-sold in the US. However, the Quality King ruling was about domestically made goods sold overseas and then imported back into the US. Here the goods are manufactured overseas, sold to overseas distributors and then imported into the US. The question to the Supreme Court is whether the 1998 ruling should be extended to these cases and also to determine the exact scope of the first-sale doctrine.

Although reported that the Justices did not give a clear indication of which way the ruling would go, they did seem concerned that there appears to be a statutory interpretation and a 9th circuit ruling that gives incentive to companies to manufacture goods overseas. Justice Ginsburg (picture, left) stated

"What earthly sense would it make to prefer goods that are manufactured abroad over those manufactured in the United States?"

The Supreme Court's decision will have a substantial impact on what goods retailers, especially those on-line retailers such as eBay or Amazon, can sell and import into the U.S. eBay, Intel, Amazon and Target have all voiced support for Costco. Omega, on the other hand, has support of the Obama administration, the ABA, and of course the music and film industries. The Supreme Court decision is expected in July 2011.

Between a Rock and a Hard place - Hard Rock trade marks hit the courts

Hard Rock Hotel Holdings LLC, which runs the Las Vegas Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, was sued in the Second Circuit for the Southern District of New York (Manhattan) in September by Hard Rock Cafe International Inc, the Florida-based owner of the Hard Rock trade marks. The trade mark owner alleged, amongst other things, that the reality show authorized by the Las Vegas company, "Rehab: Party at the Hard Rock Hotel", was tarnishing the Hard Rock brand. The lawsuit sought cancellation of the Las Vegas hotel's licence to use the marks. The casino has now fired back in a court filing two weeks ago which has claimed that it has done nothing wrong and is only a victim of "systematic legal and business harassment" by the Florida owner. The casino is also counterclaiming for breach of contract and tortious interference with business relations. The casino's filing also says that:

"The Cafe complains about a range of alleged trademark abuses that in many cases it has long known about, tolerated or even approved. Most notably, the Cafe claims to be shocked and disturbed by the popular reality television show 'Rehab: Party at the Hard Rock Hotel,' filmed at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Las Vegas – despite the fact that this show and the lively behavior it portrays have already been on the air for two years; depicts an event similar to the 'Detox' party held at one of the Cafe's properties (Biloxi, Miss); and has brought enormous positive publicity to the Hard Rock brand."

This is why I love HOOTSUITE!

Posted by Duncan in iphone, reviews

hootsuite iphone app

Hootsuite.com is to Twitter what Gmail is to email. It’s like a swiss army knife for twitter. So if you haven’t tried it yet I highly recommend it. It’s my favorite twitter client and it’s web based. You get all the benefits of the cloud and none of the BS that comes from traditional desktop software. IE software updates syncing between multiple computers etc etc…

The new Hootstuite iPhone App (iTunes link) includes all of that functionality. The app is snappy, easy to use, and slick. It allows you to go between you mentions, DMs, etc with the swipe of the finger. Just like paging through your apps. It also has infinite scrolling ala Google Reader. I’ve been using the product for a few weeks as Ryan Holmes aka @invoker gave it to me to check out. You can get the app starting December 10th, 2009.

Pros:

* Multiple Twitter Accounts
* It’s fast
* It’s clean
* The UI is very well done
* It does stats

Cons:

* Initial setup wasn’t as simple as it could have been.

Conclusion:
IMHO the Hootsuite iPhone app is the best twitter client for the iPhone.

Twittering and Facebooking At The Altar

This one is a very funny wedding . heheh!

he says
"This was just done to be funny - we really don't Facebook THAT often :).

I have a lot of family scattered around the country and we all use Facebook a lot to keep in touch. So when Tracy and I were engaged, most of my family found out via Facebook because we updated our statuses.

I surprised not only my guests, but also Tracy by pulling out my phone and posting on Facebook and Twitter from the altar during out wedding.

I had her phone ready in my pocket, so when she asked for it I could hand it to her. No one knew about this except the minister, and myself."

Here is the twitter post:
