			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hardware is always updating and there&#8217;s one bit of hardware I really like. A while ago the USB standard enhanced to become 3.0 and that&#8217;s changed things for a lot of portable devices. Now I love portable file storage and being able to move around my own computer files very easily. This is why I&#8217;m a big fan of the <a href="http://redirectingat.com?id=21261X792902&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fusb30flashdrive.net%2F&sref=rss">USB 3.0 flash drive</a> devices and I own so many of them. I&#8217;ve used a few older versions for a long time and now I&#8217;ve upgraded.</p>
<p>I use a USB flash drive in my work to backup my important files. I use these for my personal life to store my audio and videos on when I&#8217;m moving them between my personal laptop and my own TV. I can&#8217;t consider anyone I know that doesn&#8217;t know what any USB flash drive is.</p>
<p>The problem with all the older models was because they were too slow. Old USB 2.0 flash drives were fine to use for small files and became very popular for that. But for larger files the original transfer speeds have been too slow which is why folks started using external hard drives instead. But a USB 3.0 flash drive is a lot more portable than an external hard drive now they can be just as good for read/write speeds.</p>
<p>As well as becoming quicker they can now store a lot more files. Not too long ago all flash drives were small and very slow. Now they can be as fast and save as many files as some external hard disk drives. They&#8217;re small enough keep these things in your pocket on your key ring.</p>
<p>Some USB flash drives are even so small that you cannot notice them plugged into your computer. I know my brother use&#8217;s the USB 3.0 flash drive to bring his homework and games directly into college and his tutor doesn&#8217;t notice it plugged in.</p>
<p>See my <a href="http://redirectingat.com?id=21261X792902&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fusb30flashdrive.net%2F&sref=rss">USB 3.0 flash drive</a> reviews for deals on <a href="http://redirectingat.com?id=21261X792902&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fusb30flashdrive.net%2Fusb-3-0-flash-drive%2F&sref=rss">USB 3.0 flash drives</a> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The have a computer repair such as <a title="austin computer repair" href="http://redirectingat.com?id=21261X792902&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fecomputerrepairshop.com%2Far%2Faustin-computer-repair.php&sref=rss">austin computer repair</a> that must get done straight away. You are ready to consider it anywhere. Question is, where should you go? Does it really make any difference where you take it? Chance to find the that it does. Here are several things you may have not necessarily considered before.</p>
<p>What kind of turnaround time internet site? Some computer repair shops like <a title="houston computer repair" href="http://redirectingat.com?id=21261X792902&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fecomputerrepairshop.com%2Far%2Fhouston-computer-repair.php&sref=rss">houston computer repair</a> will need two to three weeks to come back your computer to you. Do you want to be without your computer for that long? Or even, shop around. There are computer repair shops that can get your computer back in as little as a few hours. Many of these faster companies may charge more but the velocity is worth it if you are implementing a big project that should get done right away.</p>
<p>What can they charge for their hourly fee? Some businesses charge really high service fees and take a really long time to get the computer back to you. You want to take your repair with a computer repair shop that will be fast and will do the repair correct the first time such as <a title="computer repair denver" href="http://redirectingat.com?id=21261X792902&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fecomputerrepairshop.com%2Far%2Fcomputer-repair-denver.php&sref=rss">computer repair denver</a>. Look for a computer repair shop that posts his or her prices. Most shops have a set value list for certain tasks. Look for a business that can give you a strong quote before they start their work. It&#8217;s also wise to make sure they will make contact with you for acceptance if there is any explanation to increase their repair costs before they start the particular repair.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Is their staff A+ accredited? The A+ certification won&#8217;t guarantee that the computer specialist knows what he could be doing but it is generally a good indicator they have invested the time into their craft to do it well. You should also find out if everybody on staff is A+ licensed or only certain staff. Ask to have the certified staff perform the work.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Trust your intestine. If after talking with someone at the shop face-to-face you don&#8217;t get a good feeling about them, vanish. In any given city there are many people who carry out computer repairs. Don&#8217;t be scared of shopping around.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://gigaom2.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/3256859352_cf35412c5f_z1.png?w=300&#038;h=200" alt="" title="3256859352_cf35412c5f_z" width="300" height="200"  class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-340244" /></p>
<p>The Pulitzer board, which administers the journalism awards named after newspaper publisher Joseph Pulitzer, has changed the terms of submission to require digital entries only, and has also changed the description of the &#8220;breaking news&#8221; category to stress that real-time reporting will be the main criteria for that award. That has led some &#8212; including the Nieman Journalism Lab at Harvard &#8212; to speculate that we could see a Pulitzer Prize for live-tweeting of the news. Whether that ever comes to pass or not, there is a case to be made that Twitter is the best tool for breaking news that the world of journalism has seen in a long time.</p>
<p>Although the Pulitzer board didn&#8217;t say why it made the changes to the criteria for the breaking-news award, it may have done so in part because the award went without a winner in 2011  &#8212; although there were three finalists nominated by the judges, including the <em>Chicago Tribune</em> and the <em>Miami Herald</em>, none were chosen.</p>
<h2>Reporting that captures news &#8220;as quickly as possible&#8221;</h2>
<p>The old version of the criteria said that the award would be given &#8220;with special emphasis on the speed and accuracy of the initial coverage, using any available journalistic tool, including text reporting, videos, databases, multimedia or interactive presentations or any combination of those formats, in print or online or both.&#8221; The new version of the criteria is substantially shorter, and doesn&#8217;t mention anything about the format that it is supposed to appear in or what kinds of tools the reporting should use. It simply refers to:</p>
<blockquote><p>[R]eporting of breaking news that, as quickly as possible, captures events accurately as they occur, and, as times passes, illuminates, provides context and expands upon the initial coverage.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>In a news release about the changes, the Pulitzer board also said that it was moving away from looking at print submissions for the category because &#8220;it would be disappointing if an event occurred at 8 a.m. and the first item in an entry was drawn from the next day’s newspaper.&#8221; Although recent winners have included online elements, most have focused on news packages that appeared in print.</p>
<p><img src="http://gigaom2.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/2149309015_0de38248c9_z-21.png?w=210&#038;h=140" alt="" title="2149309015_0de38248c9_z (2)" width="210" height="140"  class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-400501" /></p>
<p>If reporting that occurs &#8220;as quickly as possible&#8221; is the main criteria, then I think Twitter definitely fits the bill &#8212; or is at least a leading contender. Videos uploaded to YouTube or streamed from a news event like the &#8220;Occupy Wall Street&#8221; protests (as my colleague Janko described in his recent post on videographers becoming citizen journalists) are also clearly real-time, but nothing matches the speed that is possible with 140 character text messages and links on Twitter, and videos and photos often spread this way as well.</p>
<h2>An obvious candidate: NPR&#8217;s Andy Carvin</h2>
<p>As for who has demonstrated the kind of reporting prowess on Twitter that might justify a Pulitzer, many of those who have followed the events of the &#8220;Arab Spring&#8221; through his Twitter stream would probably nominate National Public Radio editor Andy Carvin, who has turned the network into a kind of real-time newswire. Although many criticize Twitter for broadcasting un-verified information, Carvin has shown that a rigorous approach to fact-checking and a knowledge of the players involved can make it a reporting tool as good as &#8212; if not better than &#8212; any other we have known.</p>
<p>There are other good examples as well, including <em>New York Times</em> reporter Brian Stelter&#8217;s use of Twitter (and his Tumblr blog) to cover the tornado in Missouri earlier this year, which also gave readers a look behind the scenes at his reaction to the events he was witnessing &#8212; another thing Twitter excels at. And other reporters have also made use of the network while on the ground in Tahrir Square in Egypt and elsewhere in the Arab World, as well as during the earthquake and subsequent tsunami in Japan earlier this year.</p>
<p>One of the things that might make Carvin and some of these other examples ineligible for a breaking-news Pulitzer is that the criteria specifically mentions &#8220;local reporting,&#8221; which means posting to Twitter about events in Egypt might not fit the bill &#8212; although some of the reporting that news organizations have done using Storify and other tools during the Occupy protests in Los Angeles and New York might qualify.</p>
<p>If nothing else, the Pulitzer board seems to have upped the ante for newspapers and other traditional media outlets who want to compete for the breaking-news award: if you are planning to just publish something the next day &#8212; or even post traditional stories to your website &#8212; and you&#8217;re not thinking about video or Twitter or Storify or some combination of those tools to cover the event, you can kiss your Pulitzer goodbye.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ten years is a long time. Sometimes it is so long that one forgets a lot more than one remembers &#8212; like the fact that it I have been blogging for a decade. I would have totally forgotten about the amount of time that has passed, had it not been for (what else) a blog post from Fred Wilson, one of the more engaging and rigorous bloggers on the web. It just so happens he is a venture capitalist, but he would be a great blogger without the VC tag as well.</p>
<p>His post made me ask myself: how long has it been since I have been blogging? Not an easy answer. I have had a website for a long time &#8212; mostly as a repository for articles I wrote for Forbes.com, Red Herring and a bunch of other publications. It had my resume as well. In the heyday of the dot.com bubble, I started writing an email newsletter (dubbed <em>dotcomwala</em>) and saved the archives on my website. There wasn&#8217;t much to do on the site. I ended up using Blogger, but mostly as a way to manage the site more easily &#8212; well, easier compared to Homesite &amp; Dreamweaver, two tools I used for managing my website.</p>
<p>Along the way I became a reader first of Dave Winer and then Doc Searls. Their engaging and pithy, rapidly-updated style of linking and writing was so seductive that I started mucking about with Dave&#8217;s blogging platform(s.) I was trying out Dave&#8217;s Userland software long before it all made any sense to me. In September 2001, Dave blogged about the tragedy that changed our world. It was pretty clear that Winer had laid out what was going to be the future of media &#8212; and it still is.</p>
<p>Today we differentiate between blogging on blogging platforms and sharing on social platforms, but that is just semantics. The essence of blogging is not defined by a platform but by what I learned from Dave and his blogging platform &#8212; that media now is raw, collaborative and instantaneous.</p>
<p><strong>And this is how it began</strong></p>
<p>Over the holiday break in 2001, having just moved back to New York from San Francisco, I spent an inordinate amount of time on the Internet looking for new things and new ideas. The dot.com bust and the end of telecom bubble had made me think about writing a book. And I, eventually did. However, during those hours spent on the Internet, I ended up encountering MoveableType. An email later, Ben Trott (one half of the SixApart founding team with his wife Mena Trott) helped me set up a Moveabletype blog and suddenly we were off to the races. (<strong>Related</strong>: How Ev, Dave, The Trotts and Matt Mullenweg changed my life.)</p>
<p>Initial posts were still some of my articles from the Red Herring, but eventually I summoned up the strength to emulate my blogging heroes. I wrote and wrote and I guess I am still writing. In the process I became less interested in the rote work of a magazine &#8212; I was addicted to the blog and the daily interactions. I wrote every day and every day traffic went up. More importantly, more people joined the community of readers. My blog became a collaborative whiteboard /sounding board for my book, Broadbandits, which I had just begun writing.</p>
<p>Being addictive in nature, I was quickly hooked. The idea that all these smart people were sharing all their insights with me was the greatest feedback loop of all time. With every blog post, I engaged and learned. Ten years later, that learning continues. Not a day goes by that doesn&#8217;t see one of our readers leave a comment that makes me re-evaluate how I look at the technology or a topic I just wrote about.</p>
<p>I shared my opinions, I linked to stories I liked and more importantly, I used the blog to write/break news. My editors &#8212; Jason Pontin, Blaise Zerega and Josh Quittner &#8212; didn&#8217;t mind because I worked for monthly magazines and all of them knew that I was a &#8220;news&#8221; guy pretending to be working for a magazine. When I was working for Forbes.com during the early days of the dot-com bubble, I learned a vital lesson &#8211; you had to write every day to be any good and to have a complete handle on the beat. There was no way around the plain-old beat the pavement reporting.</p>
<p>Somewhere along the way the allure of blogging became such that I had to go tell my boss, Josh, that it was time for me to go and embrace my destiny. I loved Business 2.0 more than I loved anything, but  I overstayed by almost 18 months before I could pull the trigger. Ironically it was a late night drunken conversation with Matt Mullenweg, Mathew Ingram &amp; Paul Kedrosky in Toronto (where I was a speaker at the debut Mesh conference) that did the trick.</p>
<p>In 2004, Anil Dash, also an early blogger (and inspiration) had introduced me to Toni Schneider (now CEO of Automattic) who had then sold a company to Yahoo. I wanted to talk to him because I had seen that we were going to enter a &#8220;lean startup&#8221; phase where the model was to build a product and exit by selling out to larger companies who needed some quick tuck-in products to complete their line-up. That one conversation led me to the other Tony (Conrad) and the story, The New Road to Riches.</p>

</div>
<p>So when it came time to leave, I went and chatted with Toni and Tony who led me to the newly formed True Ventures. A small seed round later, we were off to the races, trying to turn what essentially began life as brochure for my writings into a startup and eventually into a business.</p>
<p>As Josh would quip, I ate my own dog food. Life changed, forever, with that one act. And I am better for it. I have gone from being a lone writer to being part of a team. I am still learning the social skills that go along with being a founder. But that is a story for another day.</p>
<p><strong>3 Posts a Day Keeps The Writer&#8217;s Block Away</strong></p>
<p><img title="omtotalposts" src="http://gigaom2.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/omtotalposts.jpg?w=496&#038;h=251" alt="" width="496" height="251" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-445409" /></p>
<p>Given that there isn&#8217;t quite an exact birthday (though December 13 is when I opened moveable type-powered GigaOm.com to the Internet) I thought this long break is a good time for me to sit and take stock. Here is the report card for past 10 years (not including the posts from my personal blog <img src='http://www.dv-depot.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<ul>
<li>11,165 posts</li>
<li>About 3 posts a day, every day for roughly 10 years.</li>
<li>About 2.06 million words.</li>
<li>About 215 words per post.</li>
</ul>
<p>Analyzing the data further helped me get these additional insights. For instance:</p>
<p><img title="ompostwords" src="http://gigaom2.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/ompostwords.jpg?w=494&#038;h=254" alt="" width="494" height="254" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-445408" /></p>
<ul>
<li>In 2002, my first real and full year of blogging I wrote 187 posts and 35,105 words. By 2005, the total number of posts was up to 2,685 posts and 429,595 words. In 2010, the total number of posts had gone done to 283 and the total number of words slumped to 109,794. Average words went from 199 per post to 160 to 388 words/post.</li>
<li>2011 has been much slower &#8211; 136 posts at 465 words per post and a total of 63,223 words,  year to date.) I think majority of my writing for 2011 has been focused on big picture stuff including my occasional newsletter, Om Says.</li>
<li>My top three most productive months are November, December and August &#8212; I guess I like writing during the holidays as it gives me more time to think and write.</li>
<li>November 2004 was the most productive month of my blogging life &#8211; 339 posts followed by December 2004 when I wrote 283 blog posts.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Who&#8217;s afraid of Twitter? Not Bloggers</strong></p>
<p>The second half of my blogging decade was marked by the rise of Twitter and other social medium. However, Twitter was (and still remains) the most active social sharing platform for me. I wondered if I my Twitter habit was costing me some blog posts. So I looked at my Twitter stats.</p>
<ul>
<li>22,596 tweets over 1958 days or roughly 11.4 tweets a day.</li>
<li>Assuming each tweet was about 10 words a day, that was still about 110+ words every day in tweets, though in reality actual words being spent on &#8220;tweets&#8221; were far fewer since many of my tweets are simple transmissions about my photos or blog posts.</li>
<li>According to Tweetstats, I average roughly 510 tweets per month, with a preference for tweeting at 7 am (PST), especially on Wednesday, my heaviest tweet day.</li>
</ul>
<p>So from the looks of it, Twitter has only acted as an accelerator for my blogging role, allowing me the luxury of writing less but reaching far more people. If the first five years were of extreme frenzy, then the second half is reflective of changes that happened not only in my work life but also in my personal life.</p>
<ul>
<li>As the data shows, my starting the company and taking on the founder duties acted as a speed bump and slowed down my blogging pace.</li>
<li>Starting in 2008, I started to cut back on my daily work load and focus on my health. So far so good. Since 2010, thanks to GigaOM team, things have become more manageable for me.</li>
</ul>
<p><img title="omaveragepostwordcount" src="http://gigaom2.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/omaveragepostwordcount.jpg?w=604&#038;h=263" alt="" width="604" height="263" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-445407" /></p>
<p><strong>What does the future hold? </strong></p>
<p>It is a good question. I have actually been thinking a lot about that lately and wondering how to reinvent the art form that I embraced over a decade ago. I don&#8217;t really have an answer, except that it is somewhere in the past and in the reasons why I fell in love with blogging.</p>
<p>It is pretty evident to me that chasing faux-stories that are cloaked as scoops or exclusives are of little or no interest to me. Sure, there will be a story or two like Microsoft buying Skype that will help make the old reporter in me ready to work around the clock, but in reality what does interest me is the &#8220;big picture&#8221; stuff. And if I can do it with more rigor and regularity, I would be happier (and better) for it.</p>
<p>One of the most pleasant (and surprising) developments of 2011 was me starting to write, <em>Om Says: What To Read This Weekend</em>. I started it mostly because I felt that we are continuously being bombarded with short, near term news and in the process failing to think about the big picture. I thought to myself hat our business has to be about more than just a feature upgrade or funding, or some new app.</p>
<p>At the same time, thanks to two awesome apps &#8212; Instapaper and Evernote &#8212; I was saving articles I would find and read during the week, often as triggers for further ruminations. I decided to share the best of seven from what I had read during the week, and the response has been pretty phenomenal. Why? Mostly because curation and sharing of content has become as important as writing. By sharing videos, photos, links, or quotes we are all essentially editors and the sharing itself is an act of editorializing. It was as Dave (Winer) showed during the dark days of September 2001.</p>
<p>Ironically, it was a lesson that I forgot. In late 2006 I started writing a link blog, The Daily Om, but stopped doing it mostly because a yoga-oriented journal objected to it and I didn&#8217;t feel like working on it. Lately, I have started culling interesting videos, quotes and news snippets on my personal blog. I have found it invigorating and will continue to experiment with new ideas.</p>
<p><strong>Here are my 10 lessons learned:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Blogging is communal</strong>: In 2008, I wrote that &#8220;blogging is not just an act of publishing but also a communal activity. It is more than leaving comments; it is about creating connections.&#8221; That is the single biggest lesson learned of these past 10 years. Every connection has lead to a new idea, new thought and a new opportunity.</li>
<li><strong>Being authentic</strong> in your thoughts and voice is the only way to survive the test of time.</li>
<li><strong>Being wrong</strong> is as important as being right. What’s more important &#8212; when wrong, admit that you are wrong and listen to those who are/were right.</li>
<li>Be regular. And show up to blog every day. After all you are as fresh as your last blog post.</li>
<li>Treat others as you expect yourself to be treated.</li>
<li>(In 2006 I wrote this and it is worth repeating) Doc Searls once told me, and it has been one of the guiding principles for me: blog if you have something to say and respect your reader’s time. If you respect their time, they are going to give you some time of their day.</li>
<li> A long time ago, Slate’s Farhaad Manjoo asked mefor some tips on blogging and here is what I told him &#8211; Wait at least 15 minutes before publishing something you’ve written—this will give you enough distance to edit yourself dispassionately.</li>
<li>Write everything as if your mom is reading your work, a good way to maintain civility and keep your work comprehensible.</li>
<li>Blogging is not about opinion but it is about viewing the world in a certain way and sharing it with others how you look at things.</li>
</ol>
<p>The tenth lesson comes from Kevin Kelleher when he was writing for us back in 2010. In his post, How the Internet changed writing he noted:</p>
<blockquote><p>Many bloggers tailor headlines and posts so that they’ll surface at the top of search results, making them at once easier to find and less enjoyable to read. And this decade, a lot of other bloggers mistook a strong writing voice for caustic irreverence. But most eventually learned that writing with snark is like cooking with salt — a little goes a long way.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>If anything, avoiding that trap Kevin mentioned is the biggest lesson of them all.</p>

<p>There&#8217;s a ton of data-dependent apps these days, and with services like iCloud and Spotify gaining steam, your precious bytes of data can get bogged down with all the additional traffic. Help is on the way for Verizon customers, however, as the company plans to release an API that will allow users to speed up their connection at will from within apps. This network optimization API will be joined by a microtransaction API (developed in conjunction with Vodafone) to make sure Big Red gets paid for every bit of bandwidth nitro you ask for. Work on the APIs is ongoing at VZW&#8217;s Innovation Center in San Francisco, but neither API will be ready for prime time until next year. That&#8217;s a long time to wait, but the idea of improving our data connection at the press of a button has us positively giddy. What about you?

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When the Western Digital My Passport Essential SE debuted on the market, it only added to the choices available for securing information and data. This company, Western Digital, had their humble beginnings way back in the early 70s which translates to having worked out the bugs with what they make. Let&#8217;s take a closer look at the WD My Passport to see if it&#8217;s a product you should consider. Irrespective of whether you happen to be buying a <a href="http://redirectingat.com?id=21261X792902&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Ftinmetalceilingtiles.theincomeblog.com%2F&sref=rss">tinmetalceilingtiles.theincomeblog.com/</a> product or some other solution, ensure that you are going for good quality.</p>
<p> If you look at the specifications for the latest hard drive made by Western Digital, you&#8217;ll see that it says 1 TB. There was a time when gigabyte impressed people, and now we are up to the single terabyte number. Most people will take a long time to fill up that much space on a hard drive. As you know, multimedia can be a total hog when it comes to storing, and of course you can put a lot onto a 1 TB drive. Considering that not everybody is completely up to the latest with hardware, this device will be great for them.</p>
<p> At this point in time it is very common knowledge that you simply must make periodic backups of your HD. A product like the Western Digital My Passport Essential SE gives you the ability to store any type of file in a very small space, which assures you of having a backup copy if anything goes wrong with your computer. You truly never know when a hard drive could just totally wipe out your information or what could cause it. It really never matters what you have on your drive, in terms of not of importance, just the fact that it happens is a total hassle. This is the kind of solution that is quick and will not put you out of much money. So so as to make the proper pick when shopping for, you need to think about <a href="http://redirectingat.com?id=21261X792902&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.successpart2.com%2Flite-weight-foam-ceiling-tiles-for-sale-online%2F&sref=rss">Styrofoam Ceiling Tiles</a>.</p>
<p> Evidently the device USB has troubles staying connected to the USB ports on some peoples&#8217; computers. Safety precautions are needed to ensure that the USB connection is not interrupted at all. The basic operation of the unit is fine, it is just that this particular issue is frustrating for people. So it is clear that this may not be the most rugged of set-ups which is a drawback. You can ask about this by simply calling Western Digital just to get their opinions on the matter.</p>
<p> We do not have enough space to discuss all there is to know about the Western Digital My Passport Essential SE. Lots of people prefer to forget about hardware and choose a web-based service for doing back-ups &#8211; it is your call. All needs to be taken into account here, and that includes your machine and personal use habits. There you go! Keep the over brought up <a href="http://redirectingat.com?id=21261X792902&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Ftinmetalceilingtiles.theincomeblog.com%2Fbuy-lite-weight-foam-ceiling-tiles%2F&sref=rss">Polystyrene Ceiling Tiles</a> tips in brain to acquire the ideal final results.</p>

If you follow all leads and have a knack for detail, eventually you may find yourself communicating with a friend from years before.</p>
<p><strong>What you need to do</strong></p>
<p>Place an ad on your news centre’s website. State that you are searching for your long lost friend and also give the persons name.

<p><strong>Use the net to search</strong></p>
<p>Search from the internet. There are many search engines (e.g., Google) where you can search a person&#8217;s first and last name and find out employers, phone numbers or addresses.

Through a “friend find” or a “people find”, you could manage to get hold of your friend using his full name. If you&#8217;re still turning up no results, try browsing through friends from your high school.

<p>Well, it&#8217;s been a long time coming, but you fine folks living in the good ol&#8217; U-S-of-A are finally getting blessed with Galaxy S IIs to call your own. Conspicuously missing from the party is Verizon, but Sprint, T-Mobile and AT&amp;T are all getting in on the Super AMOLED Plus action under the guise of the Epic 4G Touch on Sprint and just plain old Galaxy S II on AT&amp;T. As we had heard earlier the Epic 4G Touch is sporting a slightly larger 4.52-inch screen as will the T-Mobile variant (which has yet to score a name or a release date), while AT&amp;T is sticking with the 4.3-inch panel found on the international model. Sprint customers will be first to get their shot at owning one on September 16th for 0, with the other carriers to follow at a later date. Otherwise there are very few surprises here, with a 1.2GHz Exynos pushing Gingerbread and TouchWiz to each gorgeous screen. All are packing 16GB of internal storage and being pitched as 4G handsets &#8212; with WiMax on board the Sprint model and HSPA+ for T-Mo and AT&amp;T. Ma Bell&#8217;s is specifically championing it&#8217;s variant as the &#8220;thinnest 4G smartphone,&#8221; which might have something to do with the smaller 1650 mAh battery inside (the Epic 4G Touch is sporting an 1800 mAh pack).</p>
