Facebook Updates in 2011

Facebook Updates in 2011

currently hosts more than 800 million active users.  Will they break 1 billion in 2012?  Who knows, but with claiming over 7 million apps and websites that integrate the site, it’s not an absurd goal to shoot for in the coming year.  There have been several updates this year including better privacy settings and a revamped newsfeed.  Personally I think it’s a little too in your face, even if it is meant to be helpful.  The constant pressure to update web-based everything is a good thing.  That is how innovations are made, by ignoring the old adage ‘if it’s not broke, don’t fix it,’ and striving to improve what already exists for the sake of being the best.  It is this kind of attitude that keeps great companies afloat.

Facebook has just launched an update to the app that will make is faster and easier to get photos and messages.  They’ve also revamped how easy it is to upload photos onto the website in general. These are not major overhauls happening here. It’s more of a fine tuning of existing that makes the site run better and better based on user feedback.  Privacy and will always be an issue when it comes to online personal content, but hopefully the powers that be at Facebook will continue to keep working on the best ways to protect your information.  Check out their tutorial on the new privacy setting to get a handle on them and keep an eye out for the changes to hit in the next year.  I think we’ll all be surprised to see what kind of upgrades will come out of social media technology in 2012, as it seems everyone is getting online.

Top Reason Why You Should Not Buy Galaxy Tab or Any Android Tablet Right Now

Top Reasons Why Not to buy Galaxy TabIf you are planning to rush in to your nearest electronic store to buy Samsung Galaxy Tab or ,  then Don’t Complain if you are left with an obsolete Tablet when the 3.0 codenamed “Honeycomb” gets rolled out in the coming year.

According to Andy Rubin, The Creator of Android Operating System -“Honeycomb is the next version of the Android platform, designed from the ground up for devices with larger screen sizes, particularly . We’ve spent a lot of time refining the user experience in Honeycomb, and we’ve developed a brand new, truly virtual and holographic user interface”.

In short, According to Rubin, Honeycomb is the Android version specially targeted towards Tablets, and According to Bobby Cha, Managing Director of Korean consumer Electronics Firm Enspert - ’s new Android Honeycomb tablet OS will require a dual-core to run properly. This means the current crop of on the market, like the Galaxy Tab, won’t be able to upgrade their software to when it’s available. as they don’t have ARM Cortex A9 Processors.

Google introduced Honeycomb running on a prototype Motorola device last month, but they’ve kept the hardware requirements under wraps. Cha also confirmed that the Motorola tablet would be the first to market with Honeycomb.

If this is true, Google will have two parallel software paths for tablets, at least for a while. With their Cortex-A8 processors and 1,024×600 screens, the popular Samsung Galaxy Tab line of Android tablets run the “Froyo” version of Android, 2.2, and can be updated to Gingerbread, 2.3, but not to Honeycomb.

So, if you’re buying a Galaxy Tab today, you’re buying a that will be obsolete in the next few months. So Techie WhizKid recommends you to wait until Samsung launches the Galaxy Tab 2 Tablet.
