How to Supercharge Your Dropbox or Google Drive with Wappwolf

H4CKER — Sat, 05 May 2012 02:55:49 +0000

Wouldn’t it be awesome if you could just drop a PDF in a folder and it would automatically show up on your Kindle? Or if imported photos automatically scaled themselves down to a smaller size? Or if your PDF documents automatically signed themselves? These are just a couple of examples of what Wappwolf can do along with your Dropbox or Google Drive account. Here’s how to make the magic happen.

How Wappwolf Works
Wappwolf works by connecting to your Dropbox or Google Drive account and watching folders of your choice for types of files that you specify. When it sees anything that matches the criteria you laid out, it then performs an action of your choice. For example, if a folder called “New Photos” that contains all the new photos imported into your Dropbox/Google Drive has new JPEG files added to it, Wappwolf can notice this and then scale them down, add text, and do a bunch of other things automatically. It’ll then create a processed folder containing the new images, place it in your Dropbox/Google Drive, and contain all the processed JPEG images you want without any effort on your part. There are plenty of other things you can do with JPEGs and other types of files, which is what we’ll be looking at in this post. First we’ll get everything set up and create a sample action, then look at a few cool actions you might want to try out for yourself.

Please, Apple, Make the iPad Keyboard Work Like This

H4CKER — Sat, 05 May 2012 02:52:38 +0000

Editing text on the iPad can be a total pain. Say you want to insert a word in the middle of sentence. You have to tap just so or you’ll stick it in the wrong spot. A guy named Daniel Hooper thinks there needs to be a better way, showing off his idea for a superior alternative in the video above.

His improved keyboard would let you select text by holding the shift key as you swipe. You’d be able to drag to move the cursor, or drag with two fingers to move it faster. The methods he demonstrates could make for a faster, more user-friendly keyboard.

But he doesn’t want to keep the idea for himself, and he’s not selling any kind of product. He suggests that you should send Apple a bug report to tell it you’re unhappy with the keyboard, encouraging it to work on a fix. Who knows if Apple’s listening but Hooper has been told that Apple looks at it as a problem, so maybe we’ll see something different in the next big update to iOS.

Google Assistant, ¿Por fin competencia para Siri?

H4CKER — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 03:11:25 +0000

El año pasado, con la presentación del iPhone 4S, una de las principales novedades fue Siri. El asistente personal para el nuevo iPhone por reconocimiento de voz llegó para hacer del smartphone un teléfono más inteligente. Después de su anuncio, salieron a la luz muchos “clones” para Android –Iris, por ejemplo—, pero ninguna aplicación desarrollada con seriedad. Esto estaría por cambiar gracias a Google Assistant, la respuesta a Siri por parte de la compañía de Mountain View.

Según los reportes, Google Assistant no es solo una versión de Siri para Android, sino que va mucho más allá. Sí, el servicio de Google permitiría interacción por voz para obtener respuestas, resultados de búsqueda, entre otras cosas, pero no se trataría únicamente de una aplicación. Por el contrario, estaría en planes de liberar una API para que los desarrolladores implementen Google Assistant en aplicaciones o sitios, lo que nos hace pensar en todo lo que se podría hacer con algo así.

Jailbreak Untethered iOS 5.0/5.0.1

H4CKER — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 15:30:56 +0000

The Chronic Dev Team announced that Apple is closing five key exploits the creation of the untethered jailbreak of iOS 5 through a new system of automatic reporting of errors, the pot calling helps users to continue their work. If we speak of Joshua Hill will probably not say anything but the name is the developer behind the nick pOsixninja, one of the most active of the iPhone jailbreak scene. It was the latter that published some of the five key exploits jailbreak iOS 5 have been closed by Apple in the latest update, which has slowed the team’s work is part of.

Hackers seek help from users of the jailbreak
However, Hill and other members of the Chronic Dev Team have not given up and thought the same weapons used by Apple to achieve its goal with the help of other users of the jailbreak. The proposal is simple, instead of going solo playing the game of cat and mouse with Apple, have decided to use the same reporting system IOS device error and keep the information. This has prepared an application to the IOS device to connect to the computer and the touch of a button creates a copy of all these error reports are typically sent Apple and passed into the hands of the Chronic Dev Team, which also makes an adjustment Apple iTunes to not return to receive.

Currently the software is only available for Mac but the Windows version is being developed and will be available within hours.

IBM develops ‘instantaneous’ memory, 100x faster than flash

H4CKER — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 15:52:19 +0000

You’ve got to hand it to IBM’s engineers. They drag themselves into work after their company’s 100th birthday party, pop a few Alka-Seltzers and then promptly announce yet another seismic invention. This time it’s a new kind of phase change memory (PCM) that reads and writes 100 times faster than flash, stays reliable for millions of write-cycles (as opposed to just thousands with flash), and is cheap enough to be used in anything from enterprise-level servers all the way down to mobile phones. PCM is based on a special alloy that can be nudged into different physical states, or phases, by controlled bursts of electricity.
In the past, the technology suffered from the tendency of one of the states to relax and increase its electrical resistance over time, leading to read errors. Another limitation was that each alloy cell could only store a single bit of data. But IBM employees burn through problems like these on their cigarette breaks: not only is their latest variant more reliable, it can also store four data bits per cell, which means we can expect a data storage “paradigm shift” within the next five years. Combine this with Intel’s promised 50Gbps interconnect, which has a similar ETA, and data will start flowing faster than booze from an open bar on the boss’s tab.

HeyWire Debuts App To Allow Users To Send Texts And Tweets Via SMS From Facebook

H4CKER — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 14:10:50 +0000

HeyWire, a service developed by MediaFriends that offers a free SMS service is debuting its Facebook App that will allow Facebook users to send both texts and Tweets via SMS (from a real phone number) from within Facebook.

Via the new HeyWire Facebook App, Facebook users can text worldwide without any per messaging fees and Tweet via SMS from within Facebook. Here’s how it works. Similar to other free texting apps, HeyWire users are given a real phone number to send and receive unlimited texts with friends and family worldwide.

Users can send messages via the HeyWire Facebook App or the HeyWire apps for iOS and Android devices. Texting conversations actually follow users from the HeyWire Facebook App to their smartphone apps, which is useful. Of course, this comes with a price. HeyWire is charging users 20 Facebook Credits (around $2.00) per month, for a U.S. phone number with unlimited texting from within Facebook to any mobile phone in the USA, Canada and Mexico, and to most mobile phones in China, the Caribbean and Central and South America.

Honestly, if I’m on Facebook, I’m probably just going to message my friends as opposed to using a text message, so I’m dubious as to the large-scale value of the new app. And if I do use Facebook’s messaging system, I can continue those messages on an iPhone or Android phone via Facebook’s app or the mobile web.

HeyWire recently partnered with Twitter to launch a worldwide service, called HeyTweet, that allows users to send free tweets via mobile SMS.
