From iPad to iTampon.

That is how the Apple iPad's story is panning out an Twitter. The Tweeps of Twitter have somehow gotten amused with the name iPad. I guess when Apple first thought of the name they did not have any female marketing executives. Because the first thing that comes to mind when you hear iPad will make one half of the population cringe. Anyways that was a reaction that should have been expected but was it overlooked?. Did the name iPad for this device fit so well that the other aspect of the name which kind of relates to that part of the drug store where most of us males just walk by.  So anyway the Tweeps on Twitter have gone all the way with calling the next device iTampon. The updated version of the iPad will probably come with wings.  #iTampon is now trending on Twitter and will keep you updated if the idea's get more creative. What are your thoughts on the name Apple choose to name their internet device?.  Check out Steve Jobs unveiling the iPad video. An original post by Socio...

Nebraska man pleads guilty to 2008 DDoS attack on the Church Of Scientology.

A Nebraska man has admitted that he participated in an attack in the Church of Scientology's website.  In a plea agreement signed Friday, Brian Thomas Mettenbrink, 20, said he downloaded custom software from a message board controlled by the anti-Scientology group known as Anonymous with the intent of inflicting damage to the COS, or Church of Scientology. "Defendant used that software to, without authorization, access the COS websites at such a high rate that it impaired the integrity and availability of the COS websites and the computer system where they were hosted," the agreement stated. He is scheduled to formally enter his guilty plea in court next week, according to a release issued by the US Attorney's office in Los Angeles. Anonymous launched the campaign against the COS after the organization demanded websites pull a video of Tom Cruise that was shot at an church awards event.

After State of the Union Obama to answer questions on YouTube

"After the President's speech begins this Wednesday (1/27) at 9pm EST, anyone will be able to submit a follow-up question and vote on others at YouTube.com/CitizenTube . Then next week, the President will answer questions in a special online event, live from the White House," Phillips wrote . Earlier this week, the White House introduced the White House iPhone App , which delivers much of the content available on whitehouse.gov in a mobile interface. With the app, iPhone users will be able stream the State of the Union address live. Evidently, President Obama will not be answering those questions live: the days following the speech, users will be able to submit additional questions and vote on their favorites.

Bill Gates has taken to it he joins Twitter, starts a Facebook page and launches a website to share his thoughts. Now he gets jiggy with it. "He gyrated in a VIP booth until 2 AM," a "spy" told the Post's Page Six--a gossip item, so take it with a grain of salt. "Everybody was snapping photos of him until his security rushed him out the back door after he tipped a waitress $500." Society blog Guest of a Guest has photos!

Google's voice App arrives for the iPhone.

Google has realeased an App for the iPhone. Yes, Google voice has now come to the iPhone. google.com/voice/m . The new Web service works on iPhones running the 3.0 operating system . It also works on on Palm's WebOS for user with the Palm Pre. The new mobile-specific Web site for Google Voice is app-like in key ways. It's fast and it can use local storage, so it doesn't have to load in your entire Google Voice inbox every time you launch it. There's a dialer and a directory (tied in to your Google account) for looking people up. And, finally, you don't have to deal with Google Voice's dial-around service (where, to make a connection, the Google Voice service dials both the person you are calling as well as your phone). Through some telco trickery, Google Voice dials out from your phone, and displays your Voice account's phone number as the caller ID the phone of the person you're calling.

Which heavy rigs and buses are also mounted with on-board computers the department will issue guidelines for this also. Multitasking while driving greatly increases the risk of accidents. "This is a giant step forward for safety on our roads , but we must do more," Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) said of LaHood's action. "We need the administration to support our ban, which does the same thing for cars and mass transit that they are now doing for trucks and buses." Truckers and bus drivers who violate the rule, which is effective immediately, face civil or criminal fines of up to $2,750. Many truckers regularly use those computers while driving, even though some companies discourage them from doing so. Research shows that such multitasking greatly increases the risk of a crash.

Chinese Government acuses the US of starting a Hacker Birgade in China.

A newspaper of the Chinese communist party published an article accusing the US of mounting a "Hacker Brigade in China". And says that are using YouTube and Twitter to apparently wage online warfare. They also said they do not need lessons from the united states. With Google threatening to pull out of China and the US government backing them up and asking China not to censor results on the web. This seem to be fast developing into a war of words. More of all this will come to light once President Obama gives his state of the union address and how and if he does address the issue of internet in China. An original post by Sociolatte

If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will enter his house and dine with him, and he with me."

Facebook's Building a new $180 Million Custom Data Center.

Facebook announced via  Jonathan Heiliger  that Facebook is building a new custom built data center, at the cost price of $180 million. "When Facebook first began with a small group of people using it and no photos or videos to display, the entire service could run on a single server. However, as the site expanded to different colleges around the U.S., we needed to add more servers and data center capacity to keep up with the increasing number of people who were joining every day. Initially, as most Internet startups do, we leased data center space alongside other companies in the same building. As our user base continued to grow and we developed Facebook into a much richer service, we reached the point where it was more efficient to lease entire buildings on our own. We are now ready to build our own." Jonathan also spoke about energy efficient technologies that would be used " Energy-Efficient Technologies Along with making sure Facebook operates quickly for you, we wa...
