Netflix Launches Android App

Netflix has released their Android app on Thursday, the application is now available in Android market, everyone can go and grab the application right away! But hang on, unfortunately there is a bad news for some users, the first version of Netflix is not supported for all devices, only the devices that currently have the requisite playback support will be able to use Netflix. Users who are in the list of helplessness does not have to disheart as the company said that they will add the support for the rest of device over the time and will be available through an update!


Netflix was already available on iOS and Windows Mobile so why did it took so long to come on this platform? “Because the platform has evolved so rapidly, there are some significant challenges associated with developing a streaming video application for this ecosystem,” product team member Roma De said. “One of these challenges is the lack of standard streaming playback features that the Netflix application can use to gain penetration across all available Android phones. In the absence of standardization, we have to test each individual handset and launch only on those that can support playback.”
As far as the support is concerned Netflix for Android currently supports HTC Incredible, Nexus One, and EVO 4G with Android 2.2 and Nexus S and Nexus One with Android 2.3 respectively.

Reincarnation of Dell Adamo! Is The MacBook Killer Back?

When the Dell Adamo was revealed in 2009, it was a worthy and serious competitor to Apple’s MacBook. It competed very well with the groundbreaking MacBook Air and was eye-catchingly thin, packed Intel Core 2 Duo processors and solid state drives even before it became wider used. The new design was to follow in 2011 and in the meantime Apple’s redesigned MacBook Air as Apple’s best seller.

Why did Dell remove the Adamo?

Many were seriously disconcerted when it was announced by Dell that they have removed the Adamo and speculation was that it is being discontinued. According to Dell they merely removed it from online sales in order to build up sufficient supply and pointing customers to retail partners instead. Other speculation was that the Adamo is too expensive as it started at close to $2000 and that it is completely unlikely for Dell to continue it again.

The Dell Adamo surfaced yet again

The great Adamo with the sexy and sleek design and the most attractive looks of all came back in 2010, but with a smaller price tag. Dell actually dropped the price with a massive $500 and it was more affordable for everyone. Customers were in for a big surprise when the price dropped even more and was available for $799. A lot of speculation was done around the Adamo, whether it will stay on the market this time around.

Dell Adamo discontinued for good this time?

Now approaching the middle of 2011, reports indicate that the Dell Adamo is officially discontinued and the only reason why it was sold at such low prices was to clear the remaining inventory of the product. The same reports also indicate that Dell will be releasing a new laptop which will also carry the same badge, but information on specifications and pricing is not yet available.

Will Dell try to take on the MacBook again?

With the Dell Adamo pulled from production and Dell putting together their design team to produce a new laptop it is a good question whether they will try to compete with the Apple MacBook Air again. When Dell brought out the Adamo they promised performance, design and style and they delivered, but the price tag was off target. Their new design promises a 15-6 inch display as well as sporting ultra-thin design with serious performance. It is assumed that it will be called the Adamo 2.0. As the Adamo was, before they scrapped it, the only real rival for the Apple MacBook Air.

Dell did learn a lesson from Adamo

Adamo has taught Dell an expensive lesson that price does matter a lot, no matter how great the product is. The new laptop which will be released in a couple of weeks is rumoured to enter the market at below $1000 and consumers seem satisfied with that. Dell has an advantage to make use of latest second generation processors from Intel Core i5 and i7 as well as choice in screen size. In a few weeks the second round will begin between Apple and Dell with their newly released laptops.

Facebook Is Not Closing on March 15th 2011

WeeklyWorldNews has earlier reported that facebook will end it’s journey on 15th of March. The news they have adopted is from a fake account of Mark Zuckerberg that stated that Facebook will shut down on 15th of March 2011.

“Facebook has gotten out of control,” said Zuckerberg in a press conference outside his Palo Alto office, “and the stress of managing this company has ruined my life. I need to put an end to all the madness.”

The whole Internet has become mad after this rumor came into market. Even though it is one of the most hottest topic on Google Trends and Twitter right now. No official confirmation has been revealed from the facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, hence, it is nothing than a rumor and an absolutely fake news.
P.S: Facebook is one the most revolutionary website on the entire Internet. If there was even an indication of facebook closure then it would be on big resources specially television’s!

How To Make Free Phone Calls

Hi guys. My network was down these days, so it's been a while since my last post. Apologies to all of my readers.
I am here with a new tutorial for you. I know that each and everybody wants to call for free. With most VoIP services, you can make unlimited free phone calls anywhere but only under one condition. The condition is that you can only talk for a certain time, like 10 seconds or so, or you need to be calling someone on the same service.
In this tutorial i am going to show you how to make free world wide phone calls and talk as long as you like.


Lets start:

First of all download FriendCaller from here.

After it is fully installed, open friend caller from desktop. Then register. I recommend you to use temporary email for the registration, like yopmail.com


Then go to your email and confirm your account and you will be credited $ 0.10 for free calls. So you can only call for 10 seconds for free but this what I made this tut so you can call free.

Now login with your account.


Then click on the phone icon.


Now comes the great part. Download a software called Cheat Engine from here.

Run the software and click on "Open Process".


Then click on window list.


Select friend caller, and open it.


Now dial number in friend caller. [First test your own number] and click call.


It will start ringing...


Now in Cheat Engine, enable speed hack. Edit speed to 0.00


Now enjoy your call. The timer will freeze. You can talk as much as you want. When you finish call, you will be only charged 0.02 but after your balance is finished, make new account and enjoy.

AT&T Restricting Personal Hotspot MyWi Use on iPhones

AT&T is reportedly restricting the Personal Hotspot feature which you enable by using MyWI cydia tweak to allow other iOS devices to connect with your WiFi, on your iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad.

 AT&T users said, AT&T first contact with an SMS saying, “AT&T Free Msg: Did you know tethering your Smartphone to a computer requires a tethering plan? Please call 888-860-6789 for details or visit att.com/dataplans.”

The SMS was then followed up with an email that warned he would be switched to the tethering plan if he continue to tether.

Dear [Customer],

We’ve noticed your service plan may need updating.

Many AT&T customers use their smartphones as a broadband connection for other devices, like laptops, netbooks or other smartphones– a practice commonly known as tethering. Tethering can be an efficient way for our customers to enjoy the benefits of AT&T’s mobile broadband network and use more than one device to stay in touch with important people and information. To take advantage of this feature, we require that in addition to a data plan, you also have a tethering plan.

Our records show that you use this capability, but are not subscribed to our tethering plan.

If you would like to continue tethering, please log into
your account online at Cell Phones and Cell Phone Plans – Wireless from AT&T, or call us
at 1-888-860-6789 Monday – Friday, 7 a.m. – 9 p.m. CST
or Saturday, 8 a.m. – 7 p.m. CST, by March 27, 2011
to sign up for DataPro 4GB for Smartphone Tethering.
Here are details on the plan:

DataPro 4GB for Smartphone Tethering
• $45 per month
(this gives you 4GB in total, combining both your smartphone data plan for $25 and the tethering feature, $20)
• $10 per each additional GB thereafter, added automatically as needed
• Mobile Hotspot capabilities are included for compatible Smartphones

If we don’t hear from you, we’ll plan to automatically enroll you into DataPro 4GB afterMarch 27, 2011. The new plan – whether you sign up on your own or we automatically enroll you – will replace your current smartphone data plan, including if you are on an unlimited data plan.

If you discontinue tethering, no changes to your current plan will be required.

It’s easy to track your usage throughout the month so there are no bill surprises. For example, we send you free text messages when you reach 65, 90, and 100 percent of your plan’s threshold. If you would like to monitor your account more closely, go towww.att.com/dataplans to learn about other ways to track your data usage.

As a reminder, our smartphone data plans also include unlimited usage of Wi-Fi at no additional charge. AT&T smartphone customers can use Wi-Fi at home or on-the-go at any one of our more than 23,000 U.S. hotspots already included in your data plan.

Thank you for bringing your account up to date. We appreciate the opportunity to continue to serve your mobile broadband needs.

Sincerely,

AT&T
