LOL.
In case you’re wondering, Solo, Betawi, and Madura are three Indonesian ethnicities/cultures. Handuk = towel. Handukan = In a towel. Gotta explain for the non Indos.
The License That Rules the Web Just Got a Major Update

This is how Nokia and Telkomsel promote the 41MP Lumia 1020, by showcasing photos taken with the 1020 in collages limited to the tiny confines of Instagram instead of using something like 500px or Flickr that displays pictures as large as your screen can handle.
They probably are doing something on Facebook which would be a better way for a photography showcase if done correctly but with this collage approach, you can do the same with any cheap mobile phone camera. They won’t be able to see the details and appreciate the quality anyway.
Way to undermine the results of what is supposedly the greatest mobile phone camera ever made. Good job guys. – View on Path.
According to a new study, Twitter is now more popular than Facebook with teenagers, though (fortunately for Facebook) Instagram is catching up. Tumblr is steady at 4 percent, but that’s better than Google+, fortunately.
On Telegram, that new messaging app
Seeing people signing up to Telegram. Heh. When you think the text messaging world is already inundated and oversupplied, another one pops up.
This one comes from the founders of Vkontakte, the Russian Facebook clone. Launched in August, it brands itself as perpetually free, no ads, decentralized, heavily encrypted, multi-device, multi-platform. You can do group chats with up to 100 participants and set your messages to self destruct after a set period of time. They’re still building features into it like voice and video calls.
You sign up using your phone number and because of this, I won’t be using it. I don’t use messaging services that give away my phone number to people, even my friends don’t have my phone number.
The founders don’t seem to care about making revenue from the service so there’s a chance that it could threaten WhatsApp if it does hit the low end devices like those running S40. If it doesn’t, WhatsApp has little to worry about.
When it comes to switching, It’s not so much about being able to pull people away from existing products, it’s whether the existing ones are no longer able to serve people’s needs or more appropriately, perceived needs because people are resistant to change.
Most people, despite the Snowden revelations, aren’t too concerned about their daily conversations being unsecured but for those who are, this is an alternative worth checking out.
Urged on by Flickr to just upload all the photos because it gives you 1TB of space. Ever thought that because it’s Flickr I don’t want to autoupload every single pic I take? It’s supposed to be a showcase isn’t it, or do they want to change that mind set?
Every shot you take, of those cakes you bake, do not hesitate, terabyte of space, Flickr all your pics. – View on Path.
