Are any of you into boxing? If you are this might be the ultimate punching bag for you. The thing that is most unusual about the punching bag that you are about to see in the video below is that it changes color. This particular punching bag changes its color as you punch. It’s sort of like the bag is feeling the pain while you kick the sh*t out of it. Its funny yet quite amazing. Check it out,

Wow! A used camera that was up for auction was bought by a UK delivery man for $31. The weired thing is the camera contained information about al-Qaeda cells, names, images of suspected terrorists and weapons, fingerprint information, and log-in details for the Secret Service’s computer network, containing a “Top Secret” marking. The camera supposedly belongs to UK’s M16 organization. They are currently trying to find the agent who made this mistake. I am sure they have got some surprise stored for him. Ouch!

It’s a well known fact that Apple is pretty good at designing their computers and gadgets. iPhone, iPod, the Mac Airbook are all sleek and beautiful. However, they seem to have done a pretty bad job when it comes to making their YouTube channel look appealing. I personally find it pretty ugly and although I am not a big Apple fan I am sure Apple could have done better than this. Click on the image below to visit Apple’s YouTube Channel,

Update #1 : They seem to have realized how ugly their page on YouTube looks. At this moment all the images on the background is replaced by a plain black background. Much better.

update #2 : although the youtube page says  “official channel” its not yet confirmed by Apple as far as we know. So at this point this might be a spoof. Who knows….we will keep you updated.

update # 3 : More changes on the “official” Apple YouTube Channel, again. please look at the images below,

My personal opinion this is not a fake as most people are claiming it to be. But again that’s just my personal thought. Will keep you updated.

There probably isn’t a single person who doesn’t own cell phone anymore. I have seen kids as young as 6 years carrying cell phones these days which I don’t really understand the reason for. But with the rise of cell phone users people are starting to do more and more things with them besides talking, texting, taking pictures and playing games. How about making your cellphone act as a remote control to control your gadgets and appliances? The video you are about to watch shows how one person does exactly the same, controls his gadgets and appliances with his cell phone,

MixxWhile the banning of Digg users has been well publicized recently and capped by the banning of the #3 digger of all time, it was during Zaibatsu’s interview that a hint was dropped.  The bannings may be permanent, Digg may have moved on, but the insinuation that Mixx may be getting a redesign is more important than anything else mentioned.

Mixx is a good site.  It is on the cusp of being a great social media site.  They need to take advantage of the positives they have going for them and nurture the user base until they can sustain and truly grow. Read the rest of this entry

If any of you are into coding and developing software for mobile devices this might be a joyous news for you guys. Google recently released the Version 1.0 of Android Software developer kit. This kit allows programmers to create software even before the Android phones are available on October 22. Please click on the link below to download the kit,

Script? All I have to say about that is WHO CARES! Is Digg doing great in traffic and usage? YES! The site could be a little easier to use if you ask me and if script enables people to use it faster….. so be it! It only works in Digg’s favor and you would think they would understand that. It will be very interesting to see what happens in the next few months. Digg might just become a ghost town and Yahoo Buzz could be the next guru.

Digg has been on news all over the web with everything that is currently going on. The most prominent issue at the moment is the massive banning of users for using scripts or creating one for that matter. I am usually hesitant on talking about these things but what the heck. Past couple weeks I have been really active on digg. Wait a minute, the word “active” would be an understatement, let’s make that addicted. Yes, I seem to have been addicted to digg. I love the fact that a mere couple clicks from my side and a story that I feel strongly can be presented to the masses via Digg. Digg certainly has taken quite a bit of my time.

Digg today is seen as a formidable opponent by many other social media sites. And for the amount of users and traffic it can generate to a story that is very much justifiable. However, Digg’s internal system needs to crack down on their glory a little. Although violation of TOS is grounds for banning anyone they wish, sometimes it seems like they take it a little too far. For example, banning of a very high profile digg user Zaibatsu was in no way a fair deal. This one banning alone was a three way loss. Digg lost one of their earliest and most committed user, digg community lost one of the best submitters and Reggie lost the opportunity to keep on digging. A total fail deal.

Digg TOS states clearly that the use of scripts or anything else that might allow users to manipulate the system is a violation. Fair enough. But where on this overly implied TOS does it say that users who create one violate the system as well? If I had the necessary skills I wouldn’t mind creating one either. After all its for the better good of the community. I personally do not use any scripts and most of the times I digg my friends submissions by opening it up on FF tabs. But my mutual friends that I have added are mostly great submitters. They know their sh**. I digg, save and read later. The day time for me is digging time and night time is when I relax catching up on the stories I have dugg throughout the day. And do not forget the undigg button which I don’t hesitate to use if I find something to be somewhat off guard to what interests me.

The main point here in this article is why is Digg getting so “bitchy” about everything. Who matters the most? Family that lives within and supports or outsiders that come every other day and voice their opinions as to how they should change things? I would think active digger community should matter more as they are the one that keep it going. However, Digg administration seems to think the other way.

I have so much to say but I better hold this post right here. Remember what I said in the beginning, I am addicted to digg. And if I say anything anymore I might as well jeopardize my chances of being able to use their service. Its the fear that subsides in you for everything that you do on digg these days that has made it impossible to enjoy the site.

Ok so the event is held and the first Android phone has been officially unveiled. I was watching live feed from T-Mobile’s site and they talked about a lot of things which I really don’t want to go in detail here at the moment. We will wait for the steam to cool off a little and then we will write what we think of it and how it might change the future of mobile devices and what not.

Their was one thing at the event that I found to be the weirdest. Check out the images below cause I don’t have any thoughts regarding this,

Any thoughts?
