Mobile Could Be What Makes Private Social Networks Succeed Photos, location, professional networking, or all your real-life friends… Instagram, Foursquare, LinkedIn and Facebook lead social networking today because they’ve found existing the types of networks to connect users around. Now a new generation of startups has been showing up in recent months, trying to nail another type of networking that so far has yielded no big success: small, very personal networks. Like you how use texts with your closest friends. These companies are looking pretty healthy — almost too healthy, if you look at some of their valuations versus their user numbers — and it’s because of how they’re using mobile. Path is the market leader here, even if the overall market is small today. Having relaunched last fall as mobile-only network for close friends that provides a cool spinny menu feature for actions like photos and check-ins, the company has shown enough progress that it was able to raise $30 million a...

Google’s ‘Project Glass’ Augmented Reality Glasses Are Real And In Testing After weeks of speculation and rumors, Google has officially pulled back the curtain on what they have come to call Project Glass — a pair of augmented reality glasses that seek to provide users real-time information right in front of their eyes. “We think technology should work for you — to be there when you need it and get out of your way when you don’t,” wrote Babak Parviz, Steve Lee, and Sebastian Thrun, three Google employees who are part of the Google X skunkworks. “We’re sharing this information now because we want to start a conversation and learn from your valuable input.” Something tells me that they won’t be hurting for feedback. To call these things glasses may be a bit of a stretch — early rumors noted that glasses bore a striking resemblance to a pair of Oakley Thumps, but the demo images on Project Glass’s Google+ page (one of which can be seen above) don’t look a thing like them. Rather, the...

The 9 Flavors Of Windows 8 Show The Key Difference Between Microsoft And Apple For better or worse, it seems as if Windows 8 will be available in nine separate editions. That’s up three flavors from Windows 7. The unofficial news comes from a registry key found within the Windows 8 Consumer Preview. If this key is to be believed, Windows 8 will be available in the six editions of Windows 7 with the addition of Windows 8 Professional Plus, Enterprise Evaluation, and ARM edition. That makes nine Windows 8 versions in all — seven more editions than Apple’s OS X. The difference is important. It speaks to the approach these to companies have toward OS sales. Microsoft, the still massively dominant player in desktop computing, has a version for nearly every environment ranging from OEM netbooks to massive enterprise environments. The difference between the versions often involves additional (or missing) applications, networking support and security features. On the other hand, Apple put...

Microsoft knew that Windows Phone 7 have short life The Windows Phone was known to be a very fluid mobile system, with tight integration with social networks and also for rapid updates released by Microsoft and the manufacturers. Upgrading to Windows Phone 8, however, was still a mystery: no one knew if the current smartphones would receive the news. No one except Microsoft itself.  During the event for developers Windows Phone Summit, Microsoft finally revealed that the devices Windows Phone 7 not receive upgrade to Apollo because the new system resources were not exploited by current hardware. It would make sense to release a system with support for memory cards and dual-core processors are the smartphones sold today have only single-core processors and no internal storage expandability.  According to Greg Sullivan, senior product manager of Windows Phone, Microsoft knew from the beginning that devices with Windows Phone 7 would not receive major upgrade, but the...

Sitting is one of the worst positions for the body to maintain. After just 20 minutes hunched over in a chair, blood pools in the legs and immense pressure builds on the spine. Now, imagine the effects of sedentary workdays long term. For employees at startups and tech companies, our jobs are desk-bound (that is, until treadmill desks are affordable in bulk). So, it’s a good thing that expert’s tips to prevent serious injury are rather simple — take frequent breaks and stand as often as possible.  Prolonged sitting causes discomfort, numbness and spine misalignment. Holding the body upright also increases tension in major muscles and joints. All that means stationary time at work can lead to cardiovascular disease (because of less blood flow), tightened hip flexors, shortened hamstrings, pinched nerves and many physical injuries in the long run.
