Share the post "The Revamped Twitter"

Twitter users have known for quite some time that Twitter plans to overhaul its user interface and add new features to it. Well … just yesterday I noticed a small note above the page and clicked on it right away to switch to the new UI. Can’t say I was disappointed because in my opinion it looks good!

The graphic images and color schemes are soothing to the eyes. Plus your followers and those whom you follow are shown in only 1 row now. Saves you the bandwidth to load other images right? Plus the option to finally UNFOLLOW the user can be done by clicking the same button when you FOLLOW.

Now, I am not sure if there is already an option for that. I am not a hardcore Twitter user so I never got to find out how to unfollow a user. I was stuck with him/her unless I used some unfollow web application catered to Twitter. Plus, if you view a user’s profile, it does not reload the entire page just to view it. It probably uses AJAX to load the profile on the right pane of the page so only that layer gets reloaded.

So far so good. I am liking the new revamp except for a minor little thing: the list that you assign the Twitter user does not appear like it used to. You would have to click on the button that shows the in order to know which list you assigned the user to.

I have seen POS systems with bloated price tags that do not even fully satisfy a POS true purpose. There are even features that are not useful. This is one of the reasons why some POS systems are expensive. What I look for in a POS system is its simplicity yet affordable and meets all of my business needs. You may think the best way to have your very own POS system is to hire somebody to make if for you according to your specifications. While that may be a good idea, the price can be costly.

Share the post "Talking Newspapers Startle Readers in India"

From tech savvy India, another first: talking newspapers. The Times of India and The Hindu, two of the largest circulated papers in the world, released a special advertisement in their daily papers Tuesday, launching Volkswagen’s new sedan, the Vento.

While this new technology is actually good, it left unsuspecting people startled and suspicious when they opened the paper to the back page and a light-sensitive, voice activated chip began reading out why you buy their new automobile. The talking advertisement was pasted on the final page of the paper’s special 10-page section. The talking newspaper became the talk of India.

Unsuspecting readers bolted upright when the advertisement voice activation began. In many parts of the country there were unintended consequences from startled readers. The police in Delhi received numerous calls, particularly from elderly Indians, who were frightened and suspicious of the talking newspaper.

In Mumbai, the bomb squad was called out when passersby became suspicious of noises coming from discarded newspapers in trash bins. Some readers thought they were hearing the voice of a ghost. Lolz. Now, I cannot blame them. Even I may have the same reaction as them for someone who has never heard of a talking newspaper before. Heck, I am countries who have never heard about a talking newspaper would surely be startled the same way the people in India did.
