Facebook goes mobile with iPhone

Facebook is letting users of its flourishing social-networking community play together on the road by using Apple's popular iPhone and iPod Touch mobile devices. Facebook members can use the community-oriented applications through iPhones as they would if they were connecting through a home computer. They launched Connect last year as a way to break down the walls between the social networking service and other websites and services on the Internet.

Morin invited several iPhone developers to show off their new functionality. Representatives from Playfish, Tapulous, and SGN showed off how Facebook Connect for iPhone will work with games. For instance, you can share you scores in your Facebook feed, see which of your friends are online, and invite both iPhone- and non-iPhone-using Facebook friends to play with you.

“Agency Wars” appears to be the most exciting game that allows people pretend to be members of agencies such as the CIA or MI6 and work as mobile teams on missions while becoming “the most deadly spy around.” It is a spy game that uses geolocation to let you leave clues and set traps in specific real-world locations. Recruit friends to your spy agency, or play against them and “assassinate them.”

Other Facebook-oriented applications premiering at the App Store include Urbanspoon restaurant review-sharing service and Flixster film recommendation website, along with games "iBowl," "Live Poker," and "Tap Tap Revenge 2."


Google Image Search Update

Google announced a new update had been released into the wild for Android-based mobile phones and for iPhone/iPod Touch devices, offering a new image search feature for Google Image Search. Basically, the new feature allows users to see up to 20 images per page at once.

Google Image search can be a huge source of referrals for many sites, so it would make sense to me if Google decided to update the image index more frequently. Especially since images and video are so much more active these days on the web. It is alluring to see that the updates are now coming at a regular level. There is some contemplation that Google might be updating their image index at a more constant level. It may be a very good move especially when the web world is decked with news related with videos and images all over!

According to Google, the new Image Search is available for owners of said devices who live in the United States, the United Kingdom and Japan. Given the limited number of countries that the feature is available in, some users already expressed their discontent in this regard. Hopefully, Google will soon make it available for those who live in other areas as well.

Google is updating quicker then ever. Because every body is working so hard for their sites and they are promoting so well. You can also find some sites that usually seem it has no value but it’s on top of Google search. All these are happening for this promotion.

Skype Coming to BlackBerry Smartphones

Skype announced that the lite version of Skype, a 'thin' Skype client for mobile phones, will soon be available as a free download for BlackBerry smartphones. A beta version will be available in May for the BlackBerry Bold and BlackBerry Curve smartphones, with support for other BlackBerry smartphones coming later.

BlackBerry smartphone users who download Skype can save money on calls to landlines and mobiles abroad, and stay connected with friends and family over Skype. The application works wherever your mobile phone works, without needing a Wi-Fi connection. It uses local air time and a mobile Internet connection to sign in to Skype, update your contact list and presence and to send/receive calls or messages. As a result, you must have both a calling plan and a data plan to use the lite version of Skype.
You will be charged by your mobile operator for local air time and data usage based on the type of calling service and data plan you have purchased. Since the lite version of Skype uses a mobile data connection to sign in to Skype, update your contact list, update presence and send/receive messages, you will be charged by your mobile operator for data usage. You will not incur charges from Skype when you make Skype-to-Skype calls or send instant messages to friends on Skype; however national calling rates apply from your mobile operator due to the use of local air time. Skype will charge its regular very low Skype rates when you call landlines and mobiles using Skype or when you receive calls on your mobile handset from other Skype users or people calling your personal online number.

The beta of the lite version of Skype will be available as a free download to BlackBerry smartphone users beginning in May from http://mobiledownload.skype.com using their BlackBerry Browser.

Dell cuts 230 jobs in Dublin

The US computer giant is set to lay off up to 230 more workers in Ireland as a part of cost-cutting plans. Dell has already announced 1,900 job cuts at its plant in the Raheen area of Limerick as part of a plan to move production to Poland. The company employs around 1,300 people in Cherrywood in south Dublin and has around 1,000 manufacturing positions in Limerick.

A spokeswoman for Dell refused to confirm or deny media reports that some 10 percent of the remaining workforce were to go at its centres in Dublin and Limerick in the south-west of Ireland. Ireland, which entered recession in September, suffered a major economic blow in January when Dell announced the closure of its assembly operation in Limerick with the loss of 1,900 jobs to a plant in Poland.

Dell, which set up operations in Ireland in 1990 and employed 4,500 at its height, has been one of the jewels in the crown of the so-called Celtic Tiger economy. Cherrywood is home to Dell's sales operation for the Irish market and to the home and small/medium business sector of the UK market.

Waterford westwood seem to be in trouble and EMC announced that they will be cutting 7% of the global workforce. EMC has not indicated where the job cuts will happen but they employ 1,500 approx in Cork.
