A few days ago I talked about the services that Google would give low in the coming months, and as we know them is Google Reader, which is widely used, so we're not sure why the CEO Larry Page has taken the decision to remove it. In any case, it seems that many users of Reader is already beginning to use Feedly, which these days has quickly gained more than half a million new users.

In 48 hours, over 500,000 people using Google Reader joined Feedly community and the company gave them a warm welcome.

Apart from this, the Twitter account of Feedly has been very active, since many users questions about features, software updates, applications and more, and even the free app Feedly to come to the top of the app store Apple. Feedly is not the only alternative to the Google service, but is becoming the most used and promising right now.

Have you had the opportunity to try Feedly or you have not moved from Reader?

On Monday, T-Mobile has begun sending out invitations to the media to attend a special and unique event to be held next week. While the details about it are very few, seems to have something to do with the merger with MetroPCS.

The invitation said nothing on the subject of the event, but everyone has ruled that it is a new smartphone that would be presented in conjunction with a manufacturer, as the motto of the invitation said: "We remain a services company wireless. Just do not continue to act like one. "

The merger between T-Mobile and MetroPCS was announced last October and it would give rise to a new operator with over 40 million subscribers in total. Since networks of both companies use a wireless frequency similar union could help greatly improve the service working together.

The event takes place in New York on March 26.

What do you think will be the announcement that T-Mobile will next Tuesday?

Great campaign begins anti-Glass

Here we talk about many things in the world of technology: phones, computers and laptops, tablets, developments, inventions, robotics and more. Being a person anti-technology is something rarely seen in the world today, but even those who like a lot of it, sometimes they can also learn to reject it. This is what happened in the case of Google Glass. We discussed a few days ago a little about the first steps of the anti-Glass, and today we have a little report.

Last week launched a website called "Stop The Cyborgs" whose creator or associates are not known. The issue is that the idea of it is to deal with the glasses Glass and possible loss of privacy that they might bring. The idea behind the site is to "respond to the project and other technology trends Glass" to "prevent a future where there is no privacy and corporate control is total."

The truth is that the site is fairly solid arguments in favor, especially as regards the Glass, since in a few seconds a person can take a photo without us noticing and hang it on the Internet.

What do you think about this? Do the Glass represent a real threat to our privacy?

http://i.imgur.com/asYE80w.jpg

Monitors laptops or monitors phones , as they prefer to call them, are, as the name suggests, portable monitors from one place to another and usually fit seamlessly into a backpack or similar. Of course, your weight and size are quite low compared to standard LCD monitors today, and in some cases have decent specs as discussed below.
The portable LCD monitor you see above is called Century Plus One LCD-8000U2 and measures 8 inches. This provides us with a small SVGA resolution of 800 x 600 pixels, has a contrast ratio of 500:1 and brightness reaches 250 nits, making it as bright as many modern monitors we can find in the market.
To connect with a PC interface has a USB 2.0 and has a small bracket in the back, so it is not necessary to place it against a wall or other object to hold it.
The Century Plus One LCD-8000U2 is not for sale yet, but will be released on March 28 and will cost just under $ 150.

Netflix will offer 4K content in one or two years

http://i.imgur.com/ceihVHb.jpg

How about up your download speed? Currently Netflix offers high quality content that forces you to have a decent connection if you want to enjoy a continuous video streaming without interruption. Well, within a couple of years you'll need a better connection if you want to see your favorite series in 4K resolution. Obviously to enjoy such quality you must have (along with a high download speed) a 4K TV, which currently are the most expensive on the market. I hope that when the new service is launched in a year or two perhaps, the price of televisions has dropped a bit 4K.
Currently the best quality services are the Super Netflix HD and 3D, requiring approximately 5Mbps connection to download either. If you want to enjoy the full 4K streaming once it is available, then you need a 35Mbps, as estimated.
Clearly this new service is not intended for all and only those who have a great TV and a good connection can use it.
