There are applications and applications. Already thinking of books of such billets whose motto Announces: 1001 applications that you can not download. Put hand on fire that one already exists. There are silly, terribly stupid; useful other desirable and plausible, funny; in general, I guess, instant communication and entertainment. I practice the guasap, I apalabro in dead hours, look at the sky with Google templates, buy tickets of the Alsa, mato pigs with birds, each loco with your topic...; and who is free from sin which cast the first stone. Why I downloaded what I download? Do privileged minds of marketing [Philo and wealth of Nations] set the equation of emotions: Pepsi or coke? Mmmmm I don't know, I don't know, expected the aplis global market to reach the 19 billion euros in 2015: I love the subtle, weightless and Gentile, worlds like soap bubbles. Ahem.

More than Linux is not so difficult after all, given the large amount of computers that are sold with Windows 8 already installed and thanks to the millionaires of Microsoft contracts with brands. By the side of Linux, the little impact (which comes from the hand of the little investment that is made to the OS to make it known) and the reduced amount of machines that are sold with a Linux already installed and for the worse, with a distro that isn't the best of all (Ubuntu).

Continuing with the campaign of the NASA against popular about the end of the world beliefs, now revealed a very particular video. Many times we saw in movies and TV series videos that begin with the phrase "If you are seeing this, means that I am dead" or similar? NASA prepared one as well, but in reverse. This begins with the phrase: "If you are watching this video, it only means one thing: the world did not end yesterday". Yesterday? Yes, yesterday.

Its creators want to users to define the way in which used it without anyone tell you how to do it, it can carry a digital diary of everything that happens in your life, write reminders, draw for the simple pleasure of doing so, record your dreams and memories and much more... the limits each user puts them!

Already several weeks ago that was launched Windows 8, one of the products of the year at least at level media and a new version of the Microsoft operating system with which I am personally quite satisfied. It seems I'm not the only one, and the numbers of users who have become licensed are already enough, though its success is not yet so clear. Meanwhile, those who use it, learn new aspects of the system, as the same customization.
Productivity tools there are many, and IFTTT is one of our favourites. Its acronym mean If This, Then That, and it works from creating simple rules to make life easier for us and "make internet work for us", as it is their slogan. Automation tools can be very useful because we could not believe the amount of time that we lose in monotonous tasks. On several occasions we have mentioned them some of our favorite recipes, and today we'll expand our recipe book with some interesting additions.
Some reports who plan what will again have this 2013 in regards to social networks indicate that one of the main objectives of the brands in this year that comes will be boost their sales through social networks. This is a matter that still not could be resolved, given that channels such as Facebook and Twitter are used more for marketing but not been able to bring this to the level of "real life". However, for ir planning about what we can do, let's talk a bit about the best practices to boost sales through social networks.
A few months ago we present our guide to creating content on social networks. We are going to insist - I think that we repeat in all the posts, but it is to memorize it - that content is key when it comes to having a successful web project. Either a web or a venture in social networking, our positioning or engagement with users success will depend on the content. Therefore, today we will highlight why it is so important to the content, and are the methods that work best.
One of the aspects which we must put the focus is, without any doubt, the Security of our personal data and, in this sense, our smartphones and tablets hoard large amount of personal information that we must safeguard properly. Yesterday we dedicate a few minutes to talk about Safe Notes for Android, an application that allowed us to encrypt the contents of our notes and, thus, preserve the annotations that we took in our mobile terminal from strangers. Following this same path, another recommended option that we can find in Google Play is CryptRoll that, in addition to protecting our notes, you can help us make our communications secure.
This summer, Dick Costolo, Twitter CEO, commented that the company was working on a tool that would allow users to download all your activity (in the same way that we can download the activity of some Google through Google Takeout services) without resorting to third-party services that have limitations on the number of old tweets that you can download. Costolo said that the tool could be ready by the end of this year and, apparently, Twitter is fulfilling what was promised because this tool is starting to be available to some users.
Introduced to our world in the Decade of the 90s, USB is today connecting peripherals par excellence. Through her we carry our mobile devices, transfer information, and share content offline with our friends, something for which we need an external hard drive or a stick USB. This makes that, along with Internet downloads, USB is a potential virus and other malware entries on our computers.
For many professionals, the meetings are something that is part of our day to day but when we need to move us to a customer location (either in our city or another) lose time displacement in addition to incurring transportation costs, or even housing. In the current economic context, there are many companies that are turning to virtual meetings for gain in productivity (avoiding wasting time travelling) and save some money.
With the purchase of Sparrow by Google it seemed that we stayed without a good email application on iOS. If it is true that Apple's official application is not bad but it is always good having alternatives. Sparrow was one of them but today we have a new player and it also has very good paint. He is called Mailbox and these are its main features.
The American New York city taxi and Limousine Commission voted today in favour of modernising the service using mobile applications such as Uber, Hailo and GetTaxi available for iOS and Android. In this way, users may request a taxi simply from your smartphone. I am afraid that the typical gesture of raising your hand to stop a taxi go down in history.
The Toshiba Satellite L955D-108 is one of those laptops that, although there are not outstanding in any category, are very robust options to the user medium, because they combine performance more than acceptable with a fairly low price, in this case 599 euros.

The Facebook application for Android has been heavily criticized for its malfunction, which is slow, feels very little fluid and nothing comparable with the iOS version. However, the social network directed by Mark Zuckerberg was aware of this, and so then an arduous development, today without notice have launched a completely revamped its application update for Android, which is now native.
The current Executive Chairman of Google, and former Executive Director (CEO), has made some more than interesting statements in his recent interview with the average Bloomberg about the battle that carry its own platform against the Apple in the mobile devices market.

For some weeks that it had been rumored that Twitter was preparing its own Instagram, i.e. adding to the service the ability to apply filters to the photos shared by users in the tweets. It seems that the rumor has ceased to be because Twitter has just insert the filters for photos on customers for iOS and Android.
When we talk about Security of a system or an application one rarely arises that what we're really talking about is risk and the minimization of these, i.e., how much safer we consider one lesser system is the risk of that is infringed and, therefore, greater is the confidence we have in that system or application.
In view of the large number of demands en masse against the P2P and BitTorrent by the so-called copyright trolls, Verizon has taken a step to the front in defense of the users. Before tactics, mostly practical extortion, the provider is asking a court in Texas to grant you the possibility to expose which companies operate behind each request of rights holders.
In my opinion, one of the great actors of the year 2012 that we are about to finish is, without a doubt, Instagram since that, in addition to having been bought by Facebook has marked other services that have opted to include filters to their applications to take and share photos. Facebook launched Facebook Camera (competing with itself), on Monday Twitter launched its filters and, today, has been Yahoo! which wanted to increase the capabilities of Flickr, one of its services star, adding filters to your iOS client.
Yes, in a somewhat unexpected move, this new Yahoo! captained by Marissa Mayer has decided to extend the features of Flickr (in my opinion one of the great values of the company in terms of product concerns) and, following the new strategy of focusing on mobility, the company has decided to present themselves as an alternative to Instagram and offer users the possibility to apply filters to your images before you share them via Flickr.
For now, this change is only available in customer iOS which, as we can not, download from the App Store and that, Furthermore, we will appreciate a substantial change in the design of the interface of the application (much more carefully as it happened yesterday with the launch of the new Yahoo! Mail). Flickr is one of the key services of Yahoo! in terms of active users, and taking into account this fact, was a shame application to carry a year without updating IOS (despite the activity of other services and their constant updates and improvements).
Mobile First is the new strategy of Mayer at Yahoo!, and the truth, this new version of Flickr for iOS complies perfectly with this premise. Are available in the application filters that will offer users a wide range of options to give you a touch of vintage to your photos before sharing them via Twitter (an advantage over to Flickr if possible since integration is maintained), Facebook, or even, to 16 via e-mail that along with the possibility of interacting with groups (which until now were only available in the web version) expect to be able to give a new impetus to the service.
Seeing these changes, the mail service and Flickr, so followed it seems clear that we are witnessing the birth of a new Yahoo! and a relaunch of its service portfolio, now will be to see if they take the effect expected among users.
Some years ago, Yahoo! Mail was one of the most popular free email services between users, a reign that was overshadowed by the arrival of Gmail that ended up relegating to the background while for many of these initial users, continues to be your main personal email address. More than two years have passed since the Yahoo! rediseñase its e-mail service with the idea of making it more attractive to users, and at this time, the habits of the users have evolved in search of simplicity and rapidity that failed to materialize in the last reset. With the "spirit of improvement" Marissa Mayer want to internalize in Yahoo, the new CEO of the company has been commissioned to announce corporate blog The new Yahoo! Mail, a redesign service that bets for simplicity in its interface and operation speed.
According to the Wall Street Journal newspaper account this morning, Apple would be currently working with Sharp and Foxconn on the design of a new TV. Although many have been speculation in the past about the output of a TV from the Cupertino, since the journal they claim to have reliable sources.

Either personally or professionally, it is not surprising that we get to manage profiles on multiple social networks (LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook...) e, even within the same social network maintain more than one user (personal, our company, any brand name...). Aiming to optimise efforts and be more productive in the management of the information we have talked about somewhere that another occasion of centralizing management in tools such as Buffer, HootSuite or TweetDeck (although its scope is somewhat smaller) for, thus, be much more effective in our work taking advantage of the programming of publications or the possibility of measuring our impact thanks to the statistical data that can provide us with some of these tools.
Personally, I find Buffer as one of the most interesting tools we can find because, although offers a choice of payment, the free service is quite functional and allows us multiple options when managing multiple profiles, use URL shorteners or something as fundamental as having an idea of the impact of our actions.
