Dell Releases Adamo, Text To Quit Smoking...
TopTenREPORTS Your Tech News Resource
A look at perhaps the thinnest laptop ever. how you and your neighbors are making YouTube quite successful,and text messaging that will help you quit smoking. Dell unveiled their Adamo XPS at a special event Wednesday. I have to admit this laptop may have reinvented the term "ultrathin laptop." By looking at the laptop, well I hope you can see it first of all. Ok so you can see it but it makes the MacBook Air look like it needs to go on a diet. But before we start to geek out-Dell didn't give any information on the laptop. The basically just showed it off and moved on. So we speculate from previous rumors about the Adamo that it will probably be less than a centimeter thick! And the images of it seem to fit that bill. My guess is that the computer will have a nice expensive price tag because getting all those parts to fit in such a small space means special engineering. Barns and Noble may have plans to enter the eBook market. They are making their own eBook reader and according to the Wall Street Journal the device could go on sale as early as next month. Sources familiar with the matter say the reader will have a six inch touch screen and have the ability to download books wirelessly. Other sources say that the reader might utilize Google's Android Operating system. Barns and Noble have not confirmed or denied the report. TheyÃve only said they have made no announcement regarding an electronic reader. An international study conducted recently came to an interesting conclusion. Text messaging might help you quit smoking. That's right, according to the study text messaged advice and encouragement almost double the chances that smokers will be able to kick the habit. Basically if you are trying to quit and feel tempted you just text the word "crave" to a special number to get automated advice. The test was so successful that the program they used "Text 2 Quit" is now being funded by the government of New Zealand as a public service for those trying to quit. The test was conducted in New Zealand, Norway and Great Britain. YouTube is a big, popular video sharing site-we all know that. But it may surprise you to know just how popular YouTube believes they really are. The company says it videos get over 1 billion views a day on the site. Holy Cow. Of course this number is global just not United States numbers. In August comScore said YouTube is the first company to have over 10 billion views in one month. Now with one billion views a day, YouTube says they get roughly 30 billion views a month. That's a lot of dumb or quality videos being watched every day. Twitter might actually take a step towards a monetization model. The micro blogging site is reported to be in advanced talks with Google and Microsoft about licensing its data feed to the companies search engines. Twitter has become a highly valued piece of net real-estate. With its 54 million users and real-time content sharing, being able to search the hundreds of millions of tweets each day is worth quite a bit. Twitter has stated that any deal they reach would be non exclusive so they can remain independent in the growing battle between Google and Microsoft.
