In the short life of ReinventingClassifieds.com, a lot of outstanding ideas have been floated for helping newspapers resurrect their classifieds businesses. As the year 2008 has closed out (and is there anybody out there in media land who isn’t happy to have seen it pass?), we thought we’d save you the time of combing through old blog items and summarize what we believe to be some of the best suggestions that newspaper publishers and classifieds managers should implement in 2009. (In no particu

Iphone GPS - Would It Be Included in IPhone Features List? By Stanley Adam in Iphone GPS The iPhone users must be regret since at present there is no iPhone GPS capability and nor is it going to become a reality in the near time. The possible reason is that the list of preferred iPhone features doesn’t include GPS. Meanwhile, most iPhone owners would positively welcome having iPhone GPS. The worse thing is that even there will not be any way to connect a Bluetooth GPS receiver to your iPh

One week ago, I Love Katamari came out on the iPhone complete with a whole host of control and framerate issues. Well, today they released a patch fixing all of the main complaints people had. (Sorry, guy who wrote the review in all caps, but the game isn’t any less “fruity.”)The new patch adds a tilt sensor to the game screen, making it much easier to control. In addition, somehow the framerate issues and screen lag were, according to all reports from players, completely fixed. The game will

Apple Ordered to End Exclusivity With France’s Orange http://news.worldofapple.com – On Wednesday the French Competition Council ruled [PDF] that Apple and French telecoms company Orange must immediately cease its exclusive relationship. The order comes as a result of a complaint filed by France’s third largest mobile operator Bouygues Telecom on September 18 of this year. The complaint argued that the deal between Apple and Orange violated local freedom of competition and pricing laws. The ru

2008 started on a promising note however it quickly descended into a chaotic nightmare that can easily be characterized as the harshest, stupidest, good-for-no-one, waste of a year in the short history of search. 2008 sucked on virtually every level imaginable. The past twelve months have produced a few triumphant highlights but they are grossly over-shadowed by a slew of extraordinarily unfortunate events. Entering the last two weeks of the year, conditions in the search marketing industry are

i.TV is an iPhone App that might be described as an entertainment information hub. It includes television listings, movie theater listings, “my media,” and search ability. The Good Television: The best part of the program, basically all the TV listings once you identify where you are and how you get your TV. Combined with the search feature, it’s basically TV Guide in your pocket. Theaters: See a listing of theaters near you based on your location, and movies and show times at said locatio

Everyone loves Katamari; if you don’t, you probably just haven’t played it yet. Yesterday marked the release of the game’s third foray onto mobile devices, “I Love Katamari,” developed specifically the iPhone and iPod touch. Available for $7.99, the game is yet another straight-to-business iteration of the popular cult franchise. But so far, many of the gamers who have purchased the game have found a product bearing the Katamari name and gameplay, but also broken controls, serious framerate

With just a few weeks until CES 2009, we’ve been seeing hints of what tech will be showing its head at the biggest consumer electronics event of the year.  Unsurprisingly, netbooks are taking top billing, with MSI confirming three of them.  In fact the budget ultraportables are selling so well, they bested the ever-popular iPhone 3G in Summer sales.  Acer are sitting pretty in the top spot, with their latest model - a 3G-integrated Aspire One - launching this weekend.  Meanwhile, Netgear’s E

Fallible Apple - Three Apple Gadgets That Didn’t Take By Samantha Gilmartin on Dec 12, 2008 in Macintosh | comments(0) In 1976, two American misfits with a passion for technology got together and started a company which would go on to become one of the world leaders in personal computers. Those men were Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs and their company? Apple Computers. Fast forward to 2008 and Apple Computers is now just Apple and products like the Macbook and iPhone have inspired evangelical

A while ago I had written about TaskPaper 2.0 release. I based my opinions on half an hour of working around and dismissed it as something that lacks power and depth. That caused a little revolt in the comments about how great and powerful TaskPaper really is. I also got an email from Jesse Grosjean, the developer of TaskPaper, politely telling me to take a hike and to actually give a serious look at TaskPaper before writing such preposterous statements. So I took it upon myself to use TaskPape
