Apple recently launched its new iPod range-Fourth-generation iPod shuffle, Fourth-generation iPod touch and Sixth-generation iPod nano. here are some first impressions:-

Fourth-generation iPod shuffle

If you ask us, the second-generation shuffle-the tiny rectangle with circular buttons on its face and a built-in clip-was the pinnacle of iPod shuffle design. The third-generation model, which dropped buttons and forced you control it from a set of headphones, was a step back. Apparently lots of Apple’s customers felt that way, too, because Apple has done a rare pivot and gone back in time for the design of the fourth-generation shuffle. It’s got the snazzy voiceover features and playlist support of the third-generation model, but it’s got that familiar set of buttons on the face.

Though the new shuffle will feel familiar for anyone who’s used one of the older models, there are differences-but they’re minor. It’s a little bit smaller than the second-generation model, and there’s a new VoiceOver button that triggers the shuffle’s voice-navigated interface. Bottom line: it feels like the old shuffle, but a tad smaller, and with buttons, glorious buttons.

Sixth-generation iPod nano

During its many lives, the iPod nano’s design has been all over the place. It was super tall, then it was fat, then it was thin with a bigger screen. Late in the game Apple threw in a video camera, just for kicks. This new nano is unlike any that have come before. In fact, the best way to describe it is like a larger iPod shuffle, but with a touchscreen. It even comes with an integrated clip, so you can stick it just about anywhere.

While it’s unclear what operating system is actually driving the new nano, that’s a geeky question that loses sight of the most important point: The new nano’s touchscreen interface will be instantly recognizable to anyone who has ever used an iOS device. The device’s home screen is no longer a set of menu options, but a set of icons with labels underneath them that you tap on, just like iPhone apps. You swipe your finger from right to left to page through a series of screens.

I was able to pick a nano up and start using it immediately, with very little learning curve. You can tap and hold your finger to go back to the home screen, or just keep swiping back through menus until you reach the top. Scrolling through lists and tapping on options is a natural, iPhone-like experience. When a song is playing, the screen displays cover art, and you can tap to reveal play/pause controls. There are dedicated volume buttons on the side.

Unlike the iPhone and iPod touch, the iPod nano doesn’t have an accelerometer to determine orientation. That’s a good thing-you can clip the device in any orientation you want, and then use two fingers to “spin” the iPod’s interface so that it’s displaying face-up for you.

No, this iPod nano isn’t like an iPhone, with downloadable apps and the like. And it’s utterly lost the ability to record or even display video-”nano does video” no more. You can display photos on the tiny 1.5-inch touchscreen, and they look nice, but they are most definitely small.

One last detail: Unlike the iPod shuffle, which requires a special cable that plugs into its headphone jack in order to to sync with a Mac, this tiny nano still has a full-sized iPhone dock connector port.

Fourth-generation iPod touch

The new iPod touch is, internally, very close to being an iPhone 4. It’s got the same Retina display, and it’s got forward and backward facing cameras (though the rear camera shoots at 960 by 720 resolution, much less than the iPhone 4′s) and support for FaceTime video chat. But it’s got some clear physical differences, too, most notably its thinness. The last generation of iPod touch was already thin, but it’s even thinner now, and quite light. The screen looks great.

There’s a new FaceTime app, which you use to initiate FaceTime calls. (To answer the question, how does a device that’s not a phone receive FaceTime calls: It does it via e-mail address. You enter e-mail addresses in the FaceTime settings, and then people can call you and you can call them via the FaceTime app or the Contacts app.) And yes, there’s a microphone on this iPod touch so you don’t have to put on headphones to use FaceTime: It’s located on the bottom edge of the device.

Beyond that, I’m not sure what we can say about the iPod touch. It’s the thin, small iPod touch we’ve come to expect, but loaded with many (though not all) of the iPhone 4′s features. If you were drooling over the Retina display but didn’t want to buy an iPhone 4, now you don’t have to.

9. HTTP Panties !

If you’ve ever run across a “403 Forbidden” error on a web site, it means you’ve either stumbled onto the wrong page, or you’ve been snooping where you shouldn’t be! One nice thing about the Hypertext Transfer Protocol that runs the web (HTTP for short) is that it includes helpful status codes such as “404 Not Found” when a resource can’t be found and “403 Forbidden” when the web site you’re knocking at does not want you to come in. One rarely seen status code is the elusive “200 OK” which basically means that everything went fine, and you’re seeing the page you’re supposed to be seeing! [buy this from here]

Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen sues Apple, Google, Facebook, AOL, eBay, Netflix, Yahoo!, Staples, OfficeMax, Office Depot, and YouTube over patents, charging them with infringing patents filed more than a decade ago.

Microsoft‘s co-founder Paul Allen has filed suit against nine companies over patent violations. Through his current firm, Interval Licensing LLC, Allen is suing Apple, Google, AOL, Facebook, ebay, Netflix, Office Depot, OfficeMax, Staples, Yahoo, and YouTube (which is a subsidiary of Google). The claims involve four separate patents, most of which cover integral parts of how the companies named do business. For example, one patent allows site suggestions for consumers based on things they’re currently viewing, while another allows related articles to be delivered while reading news. All in all, it sounds like Allen’s patents — if they’re indeed found to cover these technologies — are seriously vast. The suit, which was filed today, does not name any specific amount of damages he is seeking. Allen, who is one of the richest people in the world with an estimated worth of over $13 billion, recently pledged to donate over half of his wealth to philanthropic causes after Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates called on the world’s billionaires to do so.

Recently I interviewed Fred Hassen,CEO/Owner/Founder of Sit Means Sit, the largest U.S.-based dog training company, has become the #1 YouTube star of the dog training world. I asked few questions to him related to his success and personal life.

Since YouTube launched, we’ve all frequented the site to be entertained by amateur videographers. Many of these videos soon developed into viral phenomenons, and whether produced by amateurs or professionals, we still come away with a smile on our faces. And Made some uploaders “RICHIE RICH”.

Hassen’s channel “Reality Dog Training TV” features dog training tips, tricks, funny dog videos and more in his daily YouTube clips he shoots himself with his iPhone. Hassen recently became an official partner of YouTube and receives 30 to as many as 150 thousand views per day, had over one million views last month making him one of the most prominent pet and animal-related video producers on YouTube.

This Youtube video is the one with the most views that is funny.

Google recently started rolling out a new Gmail contacts interface that includes

1. New sorting features,
2. Keyboard shortcuts,
3. Improved labels,
4. and more.

There are also a few new changes to the overall look of Gmail that makes it easier to quickly access your contacts and tasks list.

Let’s have a look at the new features:

New Inbox

At the top of the Gmail inbox is a new “Mail” link that takes you to your inbox when you click on it. Strangely, the Mail link does not include a count of your current unread e-mail. For that, you’ll still have to refer to the Inbox link below.

Getting Serious with Contacts

The biggest change Gmail has implemented is a completely overhauled look to the contacts manager (click on the image above to see how it’s laid out now). Your contacts are now organized horizontally across the screen similar to how your e-mail looks in Gmail. At a glance, you can see a contact’s name, e-mail address, phone number, address, and the names of any groups you’ve assigned to your contact.

Anatomy of a Contact Page

The left contacts panel has also been overhauled.At the top is a button to add a new contact, and below that are links to your contact groups as well as the option to create new groups.

There’s also a link to a list of the people you contact most often, and another link for any contacts that are not assigned to any of your groups.

Contacts now works more like the rest of Gmail

So if you know how to use Gmail, now you should automatically feel comfortable in Contacts too. And you’ll see a bunch of the features you’ve requested, including:

• Keyboard shortcuts (go to Contacts and hit “?” for the full list)
• Sort by last name (look under “More actions”)
• Custom labels for phone numbers and other fields
• The ability to undo changes you’ve just made
• Automatic saving
• Structured name fields, so you can adjust titles, suffixes, and other name components
• A bigger, more prominent notes field

The revamped Gmail is currently rolling out and you should see the new interface soon if you haven’t received it already. However, Google Apps users won’t be seeing the Gmail refresh just yet. Google says it is “actively working on making domain-specific features work well in the new interface.” But the company promises Google Apps users will get the new features soon.

This time I have a new and a must read series for all Techies out there-Techtionary . In this series I’ll cover all the words with their meanings and some cool, whacky facts. So you can improve you vocabulary .

Today’s word is “e-tranny”

Means:A male who poses as a female on the internet, most of the time to get attention or to play a joke.

Full Description: A person that signs onto a bulletin board as a member of the opposite sex to trick other members into falling in love. Often this entails using false photos and massive attention whoring. Since this person is protraying themselves as the opposite sex, they must be refered to as the sex they are protraying.

Uses: I can’t believe “she” fooled me into masturbating to the picture “she” sent me. What a fucking e-tranny!

Krysta_101 is a hardcore e-tranny, she loves the cock.

So friend take precautions before adding any hot chick.

How to know a profile is fake?

1. If you are not a good looking guy and got added by a hot chick!
2. If you got added by a celebrity!
3. If you see nothing but Adds Feeds (… is now friends with …) in the “feeds” section!
4. If the “wall” is full of msgs like: “thanks for the add”!
5. If it has one profile picture only!
6. If it has many pictures but none is tagging any other profiles!
7. If it’s not tagged by others!
8. If it’s public, no privacy settings for anything!
9. If birthday is 01/01 (no offense real ones LOL but because it’s the fastest choice)!
10. If it has many friends from all over the world (no specific region)!
11. If it joins and attends all groups and events sent by all!
12. If the “Interested In” section is all checked: (Women and Men)
13. If the “Looking For” section is all checked (friendship, dating, a relationship, networking, and whatever I can get)!
