For all you anti-iPhoners out there, Samsung has finally released the first TV ad for the Galaxy S4. Looks like they’re targeting the translation feature in this one to start with. An interesting target market to go with off the bat since it seems like the phone could have much better features than just that. Plus we all know there’s no phones at the dinner table!
For those of you with the “I’ll get an iPhone when T-Mobile gets it” excuse, you’re good to go now! Better late than never, but T-Mobile has finally acquired the iPhone and will start carrying the device on April 12th. The best news is that the phone will run on T-Mobile’s lightning fast LTE network which just launched today in seven U.S. cities. Oh and another plus is that eligible T-Mobile customers will be able to get the phone for much less than any other provider, only $99.
Jack Dorsey. Co-Founder of Twitter sent the first Tweet ever.
It’s crazy to think that Twitter turns just 7 years old today, seems like it’s been around forever but they’re just getting started. To celebrate it’s 7th birthday, here’s a little video to show what’s happened since the start of the social network. Really shows how powerful Twitter can be for spreading messages around the globe.
This is a super interesting concept. A new iPhone app called “Hater” just launched at SXSW that is designed to showcase all the things you don’t like. “It’s basically like Instagram for everything you hate,” says Hater CEO Jake Banks when speaking about his app at SXSW. Good news for haters, just take a picture of something you hate, upload it through the app and share it with your fellow haters all around the world. Apparently it has been really well received so far, we’ll have to see how it progresses down the road. It’s available as a free iOS app if you’d like to check it out for yourself. Hate away.
Google glasses aren’t even available to the public yet, but some establishments are already banning them. Belltown’s 5 Point Bar is one of those establishments and is the first Seattle business to do so. The Owner, Dave Meinert posted “For the record, The 5 Point is the first Seattle business to ban in advance Google Glasses, And ass kickings will be encouraged for violators.” on their Facebook page. He did later admit that it was somewhat of a marketing stunt, but at the same time did not want the people in his bar filmed or photographed.
Looks like it’s about that time that we all get something new from Facebook. You know how it goes… Everyone will get a new Timeline, complain about it, and then a couple days later say how they actually like it mainly because there’s no way out. What you see above is the new Timeline design which should be activated later today. Click HERE for more info.

Looks like the rumor mills are at it again and the most recent one is that we can expect an iPhone 5s in August of this year. Another twist to this release is that there might be two versions coming out. An iPhone 5s and then a less expensive model to compete with China’s expanding market. Click HERE for more info.
This looks like one of the coolest things you can have outside of a smartphone with the Instagram app. We’ve heard of the Socialmatic camera before but this one actually prints out your photos to create real life instagrams. Kind of like the modern day polaroid camera.
Well just when we thought technology was at it’s coolest point, this thing comes out. It’s called the MYO and you can have your very own for $150. It’s pretty much using your hands to control anything that can sync up to a computer. Our description won’t do it justice but this video will…
