iStudiez Pro features several helpful scheduling features.
After downloading the free app, users can view maps of all the continents at different points throughout history. The app features up-to-date maps showing current boundaries. But where it provides the most value is in its historical maps, which display boundaries and important places from periods throughout history. It’s a great way to help students increase their effectiveness in geography and history class.
There was also a lot of news regarding the PSP. Along with the PSP Go, October 1 will also bring the launch of PSP Minis, a new series of bite-size games. These titles will be more affordable, in addition to smaller in size (all games will be 100MB or less). PSP Minis will debut with 15 titles, totaling 50 by the end of 2009.
First, the PlayStation Network will get an overhaul beginning September 1. New features and a more logical navigation are among the updates. A “What’s New”
Personalizing the feed is the Time.com reader’s best feature. Scroll through the list to approve or nix categories you’d like promoted in the Top Stories home screen. Swampland, pass. Nerd World, check.
Time.com news content has never been farther away on a BlackBerry phone than a good RSS reader like Viigo. On Monday, Time launched its own reader, for the brand’s content alone. Time.com for BlackBerry is a free, ad-supported application that mimics Time.com’s Web experien
All applications, games, and widgets certified in the Windows Marketplace for Mobile before December 31 will be eligible to win one of four categories: most downloaded freeware, most moneymaking app (calculated by the number of downloads times price), the most useful product, and the most playful. Microsoft will determine the last two subjective awards by a panel decision.
At long last, Microsoft is publicly getting its Windows Mobile application storefront under way. On Monday, Mic
It will be more than a little pulsating to see where the courts might bang their gavels on this issue. But perhaps the saddest part of this strange episode is the reason why Port and Cohen allegedly fell out. According to the Daily News, Cohen said some not-so-nice things about Port to her ex-boyfriend. Oh, ladies. Is it really worth getting all this publicity, all this darned fame, over something that might have started as a little tittle-tattle?
You may be moved a little by Port’s
It’s not realistic (or socially correct) for the government to police every piece of content, game or mobile phone application. Self-regulation and parental supervision are far better alternatives to measures that threaten the First Amendment.
U.S. regulators may consider a single ratings system that would warn parents of programming on television, video games, and wireless telephones that could be inappropriate for children, according to a Bloomberg News report in
Android has the strong Fbook app from developer NextMobile Web (covered here), but with all due respect, it’s akin to serving margarine instead of butter; margarine salts and fattens just fine, but we all know it’s not the same thing.
Facebook for Android is expected to launch with fewer features than its iPhone counterpart, TechCrunch reports. If their tip is correct, users may have to make do without the message in-box. However, Facebook for Android will center on the familia
The 91 percent accuracy is high, and while Lena researchers continue to fine-tune their software to push that rate even higher, I remain somewhat skeptical that voice alone can determine whether a child is autistic. It is often suggested that Einstein didn’t speak until he was at least 3, if not 4 or 5; I have to wonder how a 16-hour recording of Einstein at 24 months would be interpreted by Lena software.
“Roughly speaking, autistic children vocalize differently from other children
While it would only take about $20 billion to blanket the country with broadband service with speeds between 768Kbps to 3Mbps service, the FCC has questioned whether those speeds will be enough. Instead, it is recommending more aggressive network build-outs that would increase the speed of these networks to about 100Mbps or faster. This will likely push the price tag of the entire network expansion to more than $350 billion. And if all consumers are given a choice of broadband provider, these
Another study looked at drivers who ride in convertibles with the top down on a regular basis. Researchers say that long or repeated exposure to noise above 85 decibels can result in permanent hearing loss; in the convertibles they studied going 50, 60, and 70 miles per hour, drivers were consistently exposed to sounds between 88 and 90 decibels–due to noise associated with road surfaces, traffic congestion, wind, etc.
If you’re a married white male driving a convertible, you&
