Hello

Flash for iPhone/iPod, likely to be implemented

2008-07-26T23:47:00.002+03:00

While browsing Digg, I found this (Apple Patent Application #20080174570 hint at support for Flash and Windows Media content). If you are going to click that link, let me tell you, you will have what to read (I mean, a lot!).

Hope Flash comes soon to the iPod/iPhone because we really need this great thing.

1 trillion pages indexed by Google

2008-07-26T20:25:00.002+03:00

Google anounced on their blog that they now index 1 trillion pages over the internet. That's a big number (1,000,000,000,000)!

From the Goggle blog:

To keep up with this volume of information, our systems have come a long way since the first set of web data Google processed to answer queries. Back then, we did everything in batches: one workstation could compute the PageRank graph on 26 million pages in a couple of hours, and that set of pages would be used as Google's index for a fixed period of time.

iPhone 2.1 firmware currently being tested

2008-07-25T11:24:00.003+03:00

According to GearLive, Apple gave a beta versions of firmware 2.1 to iPhone developers. They say that you will have full-advantage of turn-by-turn GPS, telling you the speed and the direction you are going.

Sounds great! But let's not forget that iPhone is actually a phone and not a GPS but I know Apple will do something good! (At least, I hope so.)

Macbook Tablet? (aka Macbook Touch)

2008-07-24T17:29:00.002+03:00

While browsing Digg, I arrived on Wired.com to see a rumor: Apple to Launch MacBook Touch?

So what is this MacBook touch? Let me quote the mail macdailynews.com received:

Think MacBook screen, possibly a bit smaller, in glass with iPhone-like, but fuller-featured Multi-Touch. Gesture library. Full Mac OS X. This is why they bought P.A. Semi. Possibly with Immersion's haptic tech. Slot-loading SuperDrive. Accelerometer. GPS. Pretty expensive to produce initially, but sold at "low" price that will reduce margins. Apple wants to move these babies. And move they will. This is some sick shit. App Store-compatible, able to run Mac apps, too. By October at the latest.

If it's going to be real, it will be a great thing to have around

YouTorrent alternatives

2008-07-18T14:51:00.003+03:00

So you might probably know that YouTorrent changed their website template and went legal. Before YouTorrent made this (bad) move you were able to search the most known torrent trackers for torrent files. Now you can't!

So here is what I made to help you, a simple list in which I will tell you some YouTorrent alternatives:

1. Torrentz
2. NowTorrents
3. PizzaTorrent

Hope you like them!

YouTorrent more like Google search

2008-07-17T11:44:00.005+03:00

So I noticed some (little?) changes to the YouTorrent template. The homepage still looks the same but when you search for something, it looks much better!

So let's search for "Google". You can order the results by downloads, seed, peers and much more and also you have some related searches in the side bar

Cool!

2008-07-11T17:22:00.001+03:00

Found this while I surfed over Digg. I think it's very funny :)

If you search on Google for "special people" Google suggests you to try searching for "retards". Completely different things. Give it a try.
