So you see more of what you want and less of what you don’t. Explore away!
How Does it Work?
StumbleUpon takes user ratings – plus many other factors – into account when assessing web site quality. When you stumble, you will only see pages that friends and like-minded users have recommended. Rating sites that you like helps us learn more about your preferences and show you even more sites you’ll like. This helps you discover great content on the web that you never would have expected to find.
With the iPhone app, you can stumble through sites on the go, anytime. Browse in either “Info” view, where you’ll get a preview version of a page, or “Full” view, where you can view full versions of web sites with every tap of the Stumble button. You can change this setting at any time by visiting “Settings” on your iPhone home screen and selecting “StumbleUpon”.

The Facebook app on iPhone has just been updated with a brand new feature called Places. Facebook Place is an equivalent to location check-in services such as Foursquare. This service will provide a way of marking both immediate presence but also adds a more social component. Visitors can post status updates that stay after they leave and tag friends who are in the area, even if they don’t have a device that can check in. This feature is also on touch.facebook.com. Here is the App Store link.
What’s New In Version 3.2
- Places. Use Places to see where your friends are and share where you are.
- You can set the privacy of individual status updates.
AppleInsider has more on this: Rather than competing directly with rival websites offering location services, Facebook is partnering with them, including several key startups, such as Gowalla, Foursquare, and Yelp. Badges and check-ins will carry over to and from these sites and Facebook.
Facebook, which has faced strong criticism in the past over user privacy issues, is taking a cautious approach with its launch of Places. According to Jules Polonetsky, co-chair of the Future of Privacy Forum, Places “seems to logically reflect what users expect.” Users will be prompted by the app to share their location, which will be available to friends by default.

Looks like China will get WiFi enabled iPhone 4 this time and that too as early as early next month. AppleInsider covered this news just a while back. “Apple will launch iPhone 4 in China in the first part of September with carrier partner China Unicom, just weeks after beginning sales of a WiFi-enabled iPhone 3GS in that market,” reports AppleInsider. MarketWatch said a China Unicom source acknowledged that iPhone 4 will ship in the world’s largest market shortly, followed by the Chinese release of iPad.
China had earlier banned the sale of WiFi products in an effort to promote its own alternative WAPI wireless networking standard, but later relented.
But when will iPhone 4 come to India? There has just been few speculations up till now but not confirmation. We heard last during the WWDC 2010 keynote from Steve Jobs that the availablity of iPhone 4 around the world to be completed in 4 phases. Phase II ends on July 30th & Phase III sometime in August. In September during the final phase iPhone 4 will be available in 88 countries. And this final phase included India.
Sometime during July 2010, Economic Times reported that Airtel might roll out the new 3G services around October so the launch of iPhone 4 around that time might be good way for them to promote new data plans and services.
“We are working with Apple. Hopefully, we will launch it in the September-October timeframe,” Bharti Airtel CEO Sanjay Kapoor told reporters on the sidelines of a CII industry conference.
In India iPhone 3GS 16 GB model is currently available for Rs 35,500 ($750) and 32GB model for Rs 41,500 ($877) and it is interesting to note that the phone is still sold locked to the network provider and cannot be used with other networks.

This is one of the easiest method to turn your iPod touch into an iPhone. I found this on M.I.C Gadget. This addon is called tPhone. Give it a try:
It does the same great thing as the Apple Peel 520, allows you to make calls and send texts on your iPod touch. It’s still a case, but not in silicon rubber, it’s built in hard plastic. It has got better design and finishing, but users still need to jailbreak the iPod touch device first before using it.

Found this interesting article on CultOfMac. Check it out – Steve Jobs is famous for driving without his tags. Many theories have been floated as to why that is and how he’s getting away from it, but Gizmodo’s got a better one: since a car doesn’t need to have plates for the first ninety days of ownership, and since Jobs’ drives pristine-looking cars he’s just playing the odds that cops won’t pull him over.
Public records only reinforce the fact the Jobs has absolutely no problems rolling plateless. A comprehensive search of traffic records in Santa Clara (where he lives) and other adjacent counties show the CEO has successfully avoided plate-related fines for the past four years. At least. Santa Cruz, San Mateo, and San Francisco county courts-all show no evidence that Jobs has ever been cited for not displaying a license plate. Zilch…
Since most of Jobs’ daily driving is done to the Apple campus twenty-two miles away round trip, Jobs’ is counting on the unlikelihood of being pulled over for driving tagless on a car that looks pristine. Most trips further afield are done by helicopter, and as for Apple’s new product announcements. Canny, Mr. Jobs! But does a license plate really gall your sense of aesthetics so much that it needs to come at the expense of legal road accountability?
