If you’re a fan of getting your conspiracy theories and government leaks first, you’ve probably heard of WikiLeaks. The international organization publishes anonymous submissions and leaks of sensitive documents while keeping their sources’ anonymity. They’ve been around for a while already, but the website has now possibly made history, publishing…
Remember when we told you about that social media scavenger hunt you’d have to go on to get tickets to a social media fiesta with booze provided by @SmirnoffMiami, music by @RkmyKeny, and everything live-tweeted by your Twitter jockey, @ManuGabaldon? Well, we have an even easier way for you to win passes…..
OK, so we all know how annoying it can be to plug in to social media sometimes, and have to check all of the outlets, sift through spam bots, junk tweets, retweets, and boring statuses. But what if all of the most interesting information that comes from your social media…
We all know how frustrating finding a parking space in Miami can be — especially if you’re always running late in SoBe or the Design District. The only spots left are in $15+ lots, or garages five floors up. Not anymore, thanks to Android’s latest App, Open Spot…
Look at your computer. Now back to me. Now back at your screen. Now at this post. Sadly, you aren’t this Old Spice guy featured in the video below, but if you read this post, he might just crack you up. Isaiah Mustafa probably looks familiar. Known mostly as “the…
Rarely does a social media addiction pay off in a big way. We tweet our favorite celebs and hope for a reply, “like” products and cross our fingers for some freebies, and mention every move we make via Foursquare, hoping that special someone will “follow” us there. But we hardly…
We all know how difficult it is to text while driving. Speaking from experience, it’s virtually impossible — and in some parts of South Florida, even illegal. AT&T adds a little label to the front of new phones suggesting not to do it, and we’ve all heard of the friend…
The masses waited in day-long lines when the iPhone 4 was released just a few weeks ago, but now after reports that the new iPhone has terrible reception, there are a lot of very unhappy customers. Even Apple’s commented on it, but rather than do something about it, they wrote…
Are you obsessed with everything Mac/Apple related? If you found out about the iPhone 4 before Gizmodo did and every tech gadget in your house has a bitten apple logo on it, this one’s for you. IT product and service provider Loop USA is hosting the Apple Business Expo 2K10…
Yes, you read right: The National Federation of the Blind and Virginia Tech have just announced they’re working together to build a car that a visually impaired person can drive independently. And Florida has something to do with it. It was announced Friday that the vehicle in question is scheduled…
As evidenced by the video below, Wednesday night’s first Social Media Day was a big success in Miami. It was an epic celebration of everything social media, and the Miami festivities were the biggest in the Southeast — even bigger than L.A.’s. Miamians have once again proven their digital prowess,…
We know that the moment we say anything is free, the masses head out in droves (free garbage, anyone?), but today’s local Social Media Day, held at the Pelican Hotel, is so much more than just free champagne. Once you can see past the really basic fonts on the logo,…
Slammed for breaching the privacy of users, Facebook and its founder, Mark Zuckerberg, get a taste of their own medicine in Columbia Pictures’ latest foray into technology, The Social Network. If you know anything about technology and social media, you’ve at the very least heard of Facebook. The networking site…
Monday marked the first official day of summer. Time to pack your bags, load up the car, and go on those road trips. But do you really have to go sans your favorite tech? Stay.com doesn’t think so. The newly updated travel site is incorporating social media technology with only…
When Steve Jobs announced the launch of the new iPhone 4 just a few weeks ago, we all waited with bated breath for a new video chatting feature called FaceTime. And now, there’s more: An Apple rep has confirmed that video calls won’t use up any carrier minutes. “The voice…
By this point you’ve either seen the commercials on TV, heard about it on the radio, had someone knock on your door, or received a giant envelope in the mail — the U.S. Census is everywhere. But how can you be sure that your vote is getting counted and the…
We’re not going to tell you to get your dad an iPad or the new iPhone because really, anyone can tell you that. We’ve poked and prodded, and come up with what we think are the most useful and most innovative tech gadgets your dad will enjoy this Father’s Day,…
We text. We BBM. We instant-message. We Facebook-chat. Welcome to the antisocial social-media generation, where communicating with others is just a click away, and avoiding face-to-face confrontation is the wave of the future. When I was in school, I communicated with friends and classmates via note-passing. Now an archaic means…
For those of you who haven’t heard about the new iPhone 4 yet (hiding under a rock?), it’s pretty big. And Apple’s trying to up the ante by hiring big shot movie director Sam Mendes (of Revolutionary Road and American Beauty fame) to direct their new Ad…
We’ve all been there: A big game is on TV, and we’re stuck somewhere we don’t want to be, like work. This World Cup season will be especially difficult to catch, with a Round of 16, Quarter-finals, Semi-finals, and a final showdown, all starting on June 11 and wrapping up…
We can’t say we didn’t see this one coming from a mile away. AT&T’s just announced that its iPhone and iPad data plans — a one-option of unlimited data now set at $30 a month — is being replaced by more specific plans on Monday, June 7 in preparation of…
Nothing’s worse than planning a trip somewhere along the coast, only to arrive to hurricane evacuations. Our local weather forecasters do the best they can, but let’s face it: They dumb it all down for us. Not Hurricane HD. After the torrential downpours experienced on the first official day of…
