Movies on Facebook!

Warner Bros. movie studio will begin to offer movies on Facebook.The "Dark Knight" will be available on the social networking site tomorrow for rental or purchase for a limited time.So now, you can just rent your movies from Facebook and pay for it using your Facebook credits , very interesting.

Spotify Still MIA

Spotify is a giant music library in which the user can listen to their favorite music and download it from around 10 million options. They have reported that they are now up to one million subscribers as well as over ten million active users. However, despite this large number of clients, their problem with availability is still their most prominent issue, since their services are still unavailable in the US! Currently Spotify is only available within selected European countries, but hopefully soon enough we Americans will have our chance to experience it.

Movies on Facebook

Warner Brothers has decided to make movies available on Facebook for sale or rent. Apparently they are trying to attract new business and customers via the social media juggernaut. There will be the option to pay for these services through a credit card or Facebook Credits. The rental only costs three dollars, and will be available through your Facebook account for two days. of course, being Facebook, users will have the opportunity to comment on the movies being watched by friends, as well as the classic LIKE! Honestly, I can't see myself paying money through Facebook to watch a movie on my account, but i think this idea just might be the next big thing!

iPhone App to create ringtones for free

For all the iPhone users in the class, I found this great application for ringtones. Personally I hate having to buy ringtones, and especially hate not being able to get them for certain songs off of iTunes. This application called Ringtone Designer by Blackout Labs is free and allows you to choose any song from your library and create a 30 second ringtone from any part of the song. It will play back the song for you and you also have the option of having it fade in and out. The only issue I have with this application is that you have to connect it to your computer in order to download the clip to your phone as a ringtone. I'm not sure if this is an application you can buy on other smart phones but it's worth checking out.

Tips for users:
Listen to the song first and mark down the time in the song you wish to start the ringtone first. It makes the process a lot easier than having to do it on the application.

Google flips Android kill switch!


Recently 21 rogue apps started installing security holes in Android phones; Google had to wipe the apps from the Android Market and called the authorities to reboot. However, 50,000 copies were already downloaded, Google basically had to rehack into people's phones to install and ensure that important information could not be copied. Google used the Android's remote kill switch to delete the apps from the air. They are not just removing offending packages, but also installing new code. The "Android Market Security Tool March 2011" will be remotely added to affected handsets to undo the exploit and keep it from sending your data out, as well as make you wonder just how much remote control Google has over our phones.
