March Link Roundup – Magnetic Tattoos, iPad 3 & Other Technology News

March 21, 2012 – 12:28 pm

March of 2012 has proven to be an interesting month in technology. Here are a few of the things that we found interesting enough to share with you:

Nokia Magnetic Tattoo:

So, we’ve gotta ask: Is your mobile phone addiction strong enough that you’d get a Nokia tattoos that takes technology connectivity to a whole new level? http://www.thestar.com/business/article/1149661–nokia-s-magnetic-tattoo-why-your-arm-may-be-ringing-someday-soon?bn=1

Apple iPad 3 Hits the Shelves

The Apple iPad was released.  More at http://www.apple.com/ipad/. It boasts an amazing camera, retina display, and faster performance than ever. They sold over 3 million of them in the first four days, according to CNN. Maybe that’s why Apple share values hit new records this month!

Fight Text Spam

Do you get text spam? It’s annoying! And if your phone plan doesn’t include unlimited texting, it’s even more annoying.  Here’s an article about a way of fighting text spam: http://www.cnn.com/2012/03/19/tech/mobile/text-spam-gahran/index.html.

Twitter Bought Posterous

If you love Twitter but don’t love being limited to 140 characters, you might like Posterous, a  microblogging platform that could improve the whole tweeting experience.  Twitter just purchased Posterous. Get more info about the deal at http://www.forbes.com/sites/ericsavitz/2012/03/12/twitter-buys-posterous/.

Bye Bye Encyclopedia Britannica

This tidbit is a testament to the fact that anything — even something as fundamental as a book — can become obsolete and replaced by technology.  Encyclopedia Britannica is going to be digital only – http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-17362698. Our kids of today have no idea how much effort used to go into looking something up!

3D Printers – Oh The Possibilities

When I first saw the 3D printer and saw that you could “print” a knob replacement for your oven or a 3D model of something that came to you as an idea, I started thinking about Star Trek and food replicators and how we never ever thought that could be remotely possible. Think again. This article shows what 3D printers could do for medicine: http://www.technologyreview.com/biomedicine/39687/.

The above wasn’t all that happened in the month of 03/2012 (and at the time we posted, the month wasn’t even over yet!) but the above things certainly piqued our interest! What technology news got you to take notice in March of 2012?

An October 2011 Update from GetSync’d – iOS5, iPhone 4S, Steve Jobs, GeoTagging Safety, and BlackBerry Blues

October 26, 2011 – 7:00 am

How’s October been for you? Did you buy an iPhone 4S? Did you have “words” about the RIM people due to BlackBerry outages? Have you upgraded your iPhone or iPad for iOS 5? It sure was a monumental month in terms of technology with the loss of Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs will be forever remembered.

Here are a few of the areas that caught our attention that we thought you might be interested in looking at:

What’s New and Different with the iPhone 4S?

Many expected an iPhone 5 but the iPhone 4S was introduced in early October instead. A more robust camera, iOS 5, iCloud, and the dual core A5 chip are all selling points.  Apple boasts over 200 new features. Get more info at http://www.apple.com/ca/iphone/. Cell phones sure have evolved. Has your use of them evolved?

How concerned with mobile phone security are you?

Do you allow geotagging on your photos? Here’s an interesting security article to provide you with some important information about your privacy with photos taken on your smartphone along with info about how to change these settings:

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/12/technology/personaltech/12basics.html

Kerio Connect – Works Great with iOS 5

Having the latest operating system on your device means you’ve got access to all the latest and greatest tools. Apple continually strives to keep iPhone users happy with an evolving list of tools that they can access from their smartphone. If you’re an iPhone or iPad user and you’re thinking about working with Kerio Connect, you’ll be happy to know that Kerio Connect  7.3.0 (coming soon!) will support iOS 5. If you’re interested in learning about some of the differences, check out: www.kerio.com/blog/kerio-connect-and-ios-5-means-calendar-management-encrypted-emails-and-synchronized-tasks.

BlackBerry Blues

Some BlackBerry users migrated to the iPhone 4S on the release date due to frustration with Research in Motion.  Some are diehard BlackBerry (often dubbed “CrackBerry”) users and aren’t ready to jump ship. October BlackBerry outages were widespread enough to get major attention in the news and to result in RIM offering freebie apps to customers to make up for the outages for the balance of 2011. Learn more at http://appworld.blackberry.com/apps/desktop/en/index.html.

GetSync’d Update:

Here at GetSync’d things are going great. We’re getting close to our Facebook like milestone of 1,000 likes. When we get there, a lucky follower will get a $500 gift card from Amazon. Get more info at our Getsync’d Facebook contest. We’re also offering free 30-day trial versions of GetSync’d Kerio Connect. Register here for your copy: http://www.getsyncd.com/blog/getsyncd-now-offers-free-hosted-kerio-connect-7-2/.

Thanks to all our great customers for your ongoing support.

Hope to see you on Twitter and Facebook and we’d love it if you’d give us a +1 on this page as well. Thanks!
