Ok back with the news for you today from site around the world. There’s only a little in regards to mobility but it’s tech news. As far as me, I’m tired and I just don’t like it, my schedule changed and I get up about two hours earlier than I used to and I just can’t get accustomed to it. I’m tired all of the time now, anyone have any hints to stay awake? Read the news….

Happy Saturday. My kids were up at 7:30am, and I have to ask why? It’s Saturday we should be sleeping in. And for some reason I woke up at 6:15am wide awake, I was looking around like why am I up?! I hate when I just wake up for no reason like that and then can’t get back to sleep, I think I had just fallen back asleep when my kids got up. Blah… need more coffee.. Anyway, here’s the news from sites around the world for you. It’s a mixture of everything tech related really, so there’s something for everyone in here…

Quote:

Earlier, I written a "must-read" article on how to transfer and play .AVI movies on your iPhone. For this, you need the VLC media player app installed on your iOS device, which I thought was readily available, But to my surprise, I was approached by one of our readers saying … "Thanks, it’s a great article, but unfortunately I can’t download the VLC media player from the Apps Store in my country!"

Well, fear not! …  In our next steps, I will show you how you can download the VLC.ipa app file, and install it on to your iPhone (or any iOS device) without Jailbreaking or any dodgey tricks.

Read the rest of the article here … http://www.funkykit.com/how-to/8790-how-to-install-an-ipa-app-file-on-your-iphone.html

PC Review has a comprehensive article on how to get the most out of Siri on the iPhone 4S. It includes usage examples for all compatible apps as well as some tips you may not have known:
"There are a huge range of tasks that Siri can help with, and although it is still in beta (as of January 2012) Siri could change how we use our mobile devices forever.
Whilst we are all used to speaking to other people on the phone, having a conversation with your phone can be an alien concept. The attitude that a lot of people have is “why use Siri when you can simply type in the information / query etc yourself?”. Hopefully this guide will inspire and encourage a change in the way you use your iPhone 4S."

Quote: I have a bittersweet feeling as I type out this review. On one hand, I’m writing about a truly spectacular phone. On the other hand, I’m going to have to surrender it to my boss and go back to my humdrum Blackberry. I love how whenever I pop out of the office for a few seconds I return to find that my phone has gone on some kind of walkabout, being cradled in the grubby hands of one of my coworkers as they coo over this delicate little object in their hands. Make no mistake, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus certainly is a conversation starter in its own right, but the problem with it is that every person you meet will want to get their paws on it, even if for a few fleeting minutes.

We as internet denziens need to ensure it fails. Big business needs to learn that they can’t control everything, and the Internet in all its glorious capabilities and profitabilities are due to the people, and to the people it should stay.

I’m not a political minded person and a lot of this has got nothing to do with politics really I think, it’s just plain common sense and it seems our government lacks common sense overall. (but then we know that already don’t we? they’ve proven it time and time again)

If we weren’t to link to other sites then what would we post about? We’d go back to being a site about not much really. I’m sure a lot of you come to us for news about new accessories and apps coming out. I wouldn’t linked to the sites because it would be too much work to check everything. It doesn’t even have to be the site that links, some spammer could leave a comment linking to pirated software and it could get missed and that would be reason to be blocked. There’s just too much involved for a simple link, we would spend all of our time researching the links.

A prime example is XDA, (XDA is dark today) we get a lot of news from them and let’s face it some of the stuff they do isn’t exactly legal, or ok, it falls into more of a gray area. They help us get the most out of our devices by hacking, cooking and circumventing things. Some companies take offense to that and can claim it’s piracy or theft of intellectual property by reverse engineering. One simple complaint and the site is blocked and that means we are too because we linked to them. They don’t even have to necessarily prove it, they just have to file a complaint and the site is blocked. Sure we have laws about letting us free our phones but that doesn’t mean much if a company decides to file a false complaint, the site gets blocked without proof and then those that link to it get blocked as well. They could have linked to a site five years ago that in turn linked to something that it wasn’t supposed to, they get blocked then we do as well because we linked to them. See the pattern there, we’re only ‘guilty’ or linking to a site but we get punished for it and it doesn’t matter if we knew or they knew about it. As domain or site owners they expect us to police ourselves and the millions of other sites that we may link to by way of other links.

Facilitation: Another example would be the software that we link to. I like to post free stuff, I think we all like free stuff right? Well those giveaways that I posted a few weeks ago that were for blu-ray ripping software, that could be called Facilitation under the language of the bills and we’d be guilty because we were essentially teaching someone how to rip a blu-ray disc.  No we’re not showing them how but we are linking to something that will allow people to do it and learn how to do it. So we’d be guilty and we’d be done for.

You get the idea I hope, it’s just not a good thing at all, and it needs to be stopped.

I could go on and on but I just felt I needed to post something about all of this. If you want to keep the internet the way it is then do something about it. Write congress and tell them no.

“The Lumia 710 represents Nokia’s first Windows Phone 7.5 smartphone in the U.S., despite the fact that the higher-end Lumia 800 model has been available in other parts of the world for some time already. It shares a number of features with its higher-priced brother (mostly under the skin), but its low-cost roots can be quite evident in crucial areas like the phone’s display and build quality.
Thanks to a fast processor and Windows Phone’s attractive and snappy interface, the Lumia 710 is no slouch when you use it, and the phone benefits from solid call quality, decent battery life, and a usable camera. Read on to see whether the Lumia 710 can make a splash in the crowded U.S. smartphone market, or if it just another forgettable, entry-level device.”
