Instagram es uno de esos grandes fenómenos que cambiaron un axioma tradicional: lograron éxito cerrando su red social a una plataforma en lugar de ser lo más abiertos posibles. Aunque eso acaba de cambiar hace poco, ya que liberaron una versión de Instagram para Android, con lo que han aumentado sus usuarios de manera increíble a la vez que hicieron que todo el mundo de la tecnología se fijara en ellos. Los tiempos cambian. Y como ya lo había expresado alguna vez, ahora usamos nuestras preciosas cámaras de 5 Megapixeles para hacer fotografías que parezcan tomadas con una Polaroid de 1970, más allá de lo irónico que pueda ser esto, existen muy buenas alternativas para cualquiera que quiera hacer esto en Android y no esté contento con la app de Instagram o con el hecho de que la empresa haya sido comprada por Facebook.
Ahora, yo sigo probando Instagram en mi teléfono y no me tiene tan sorprendido. Su verdadero atractivo era el se runa plataforma tan cerrada. Hipster Pixlr-O-Matic PicPlz. 3.5 Inches - Dustin Curtis. I’ve been wondering why Apple chose to make the iPhone 4’s screen 3.5-inches when other comparable phones with Android and Windows Phone 7 have larger, more inviting screens. When you first see a phone with a 4-inch or larger screen, it seems like a much better experience. I thought it was a technical decision, and it could be, but since switching to an Android phone – a Samsung Galaxy S II, the “best Android phone you can buy, anywhere” – 15 days ago, I have realized another huge downside of larger screens: when holding the phone with one hand, I can’t reach the other side of the screen with my thumb. Touching the upper right corner of the screen on the Galaxy S II using one hand, with its 4.27-inch screen, while you’re walking down the street looking at Google Maps, is extremely difficult and frustrating.
This is an example of one of those design decisions that you don’t usually notice until you see someone doing it wrong. DARPA Wants Humanoid Robots That Can Drive Tractors, Open Doors and Save the Day. DARPA is poised to launch a new Grand Challenge for a humanoid robot, according to robotics insiders — and the result could be a souped-up metal soldier running alongside BigDog, driving an ATV, unlocking doors and clearing a path to safety for its human counterparts.
There's no official agency announcement yet, but robotics companies heard all about it at a recent industry day. An official broad agency announcement is reportedly due soon, but here's what we can expect, according to the robotics researchers at Hizook: A bipedal humanoid 'bot that can climb in and out of a tractor or open-frame utility vehicle, drive it, get out, walk to a locked door, open it and go inside; then walk through a rubble-strewn hallway, climb a latter, find a leaky pipe, seal it and fix a broken pump. Wow. The robot will be remotely operated, at least in part, but DARPA also plans to introduce some communications latency so the robot will have no choice but to act on its own. [Hizook] Girl Gets All Her Facebook Friends Tattooed On Her Arm. 12 Video Game Characters With Undiagnosed Mental Disorders. A Twitter Conversation With NASA Led To Angry Birds Space.
Angry Birds Space, Rovio Mobile’s first genuinely new game in a year, has some humble origins. The idea for Angry Birds Space actually originated in a challenge NASA made to Rovio nearly a year ago on Twitter. Asserting that smartphones today have more computing power than the machines that powered the lunar landing in 1969, NASA said it would help Rovio launch birds if pigs could fly in space. (Yes, really.) A year later, it’s really happening. The Finnish mobile gaming juggernaut attached a giant Angry Birds slingshot to the Seattle Space Needle yesterday and had an astronaut demo the game from the International Space Station two weeks ago. Inventiveness and spontaneity have made Rovio the company it is today. “It helps to be a bit crazy,” says the company’s chief marketing officer and Mighty Eagle Peter Vesterbacka. The crazy seems to be working. “We want to make Angry Birds a permanent part of pop culture,” Vesterbacka says.
“We don’t feel like we’re anywhere even close. Another Business Use For Instagram: Vitrue Integrates Photos With Brands’ Facebook Campaigns. Kevin Systrom, the CEO of Instagram, earlier this week spelled out a few ways that Instragram might, one day, make revenue through marketing and advertising around its photo-taking, filtering and sharing service, which now has 27 million registered users. But for now, another company is using some of the big buzz around the mobile startup for its own business gain: Vitrue has launched an Instagram “tab module” for brands to use on their Facebook pages, using Instagram’s API to automatically import a selection of pictures based around a specific tag and create albums.
The social media marketing company claims that this is an industry first. Perhaps more importantly, it is also a sign of how marketeers are trying to incorporate more visual elements into their Facebook campaigns to make them more engaging with users. And there are some other key features. “There is no revenue sharing with Instagram in this,” says John Nolt, Vitrue’s director of product management.

If it's a Blogger site, that just got harder.
Facebook just added a Captcha check — a dialog box that asks you to type in hard-to-read text presented as a graphic — for any post shared from Blogger. Captcha tests are designed to filter out spam, since the bots that try to post spam links generally can't read the words (and sometimes humans have trouble, too). The change does not appear to affect all Blogger sites. Of course, this isn't the first service for which Facebook has used a Captcha to prevent spam, If you try posting from a Tumblr site, chances are you'll get the same treatment.

If you’re one of the many subscribers of the Mexican podcast Nerdcore, you’re already familiar with his co-host Oscar Yasser, aka ‘Akira.’ But did you know that beyond the laid-back video game geek you may know, there’s also an entrepreneur with a clear vision of the future of publishing?
We’ve talked to Oscar to find out more about its latest startup, Atomix, which has just been selected to be accelerated in the US and whose ambition is to embody Oscar’s vision. Internet + publishing = Oscar Yasser Asking Oscar Yasser what he studied, the answer comes right away: “I’m a college dropout,” he laughs. Sure, he started studying Computer Science in Mexico, but he left university during the third semester to dedicate himself full-time to his video game website, Atomix.vg.
Looking back, Oscar says it was definitely worth it. When he sold that company in 2008, he decided to keep Atomix. Indeed, Oscar is passionate about digital publishing for tablets.
