The Forbidden Apple: From China With Love!

Ok, this is some bizarre (but true) news coming straight out of China. A teenage girl did the unthinkable by offering her ‘priceless’ virginity on Weibo (Chinese version of Twitter), posting a photo of herself along with some personal information for anyone that is willing to give her an iPhone 4 in return.

Some responders told the teen the iPhone wasn't worth her virginity, while others told her to wait for the iPhone 5, which could be out as early as September and may pack an 8-megapixel camera.

Text Messaging Service May Die Out Soon!

With the emergence of other instant messaging services now available on smartphones and tablets, the Short Messaging Service (SMS) may well be on its way to fading off the scene. 

Research In Motion's BlackBerry Messenger smartphone app, often cited as the leading communication method, is one example of the SMS-killing service. So also, other messaging apps like Whatsapp, Kik, and Apple's upcoming iMessage for iOS, are growing almost daily.

The New Nokia 110 And 112 Dual-SIM Phones!

Nokia is definitely a force to reckon with in the smartphones world of today, but they definitely are not losing sight of their low end customers with the launch of their new Nokia 110 and Nokia 112 dual-SIM phones.

They may not be the ideal hardwares for viewing HD movies, but are likely adequate to pass for viewing the shots taken with the VGA camera. Talking about a stripped-down phone with prices to match; the 110 landing at around 35€ and the 112 just three euros more.

Safely Remove USB Drives By Just Unplugging Them!

Over time we have become so conditioned to go through a few clicks before being assured we are disconnecting our USB devices safely.

FBI Wants An Ear On Social Networking Sites!

The Federal Bureau of Intelligence (FBI) is pushing for a law that will make them wiretap into social networking sites as well as other peer-to-peer services.

Windows 8: This Is What It Looks Like!

Love it or hate it, Microsoft has taken a huge leap with this OS. Gone are the days of boring interfaces with annoying rigidity. Better days are here for sure.

Although there's been some little complaints here and there, but don't worry y'all will get used to this one in no time. In my opinion, I think it's a laudable change.
