Apple to unveil iPhone 5 on September 12, sends out invites

 Apple distributed invitations to an event in San Francisco on September 12, setting the stage for what is widely expected to be the release of the iPhone 5.

The typically cryptic invitation said "It's almost here", sported a number 12 - corresponding to the date of the event - and cast a large shadow of the number 5, a clue that the fifth version of the popular smartphone could be in the pipeline.

Apple's iPhone launches are among the most-watched events on the tech industry calendar. The latest version of the company's main product - generating more than half its revenue - may sport a larger, higher-end screen, sources have said.

The new screen could measure 4 inches from corner to corner, one source has said, an increase from the 3.5-inch display that has been held constant since the smartphone began selling in 2007 and revolutionised the mobile industry.

Some analysts say the larger screen may be a response to rival Samsung Electronics, whose larger, Google Android phones have helped it become the world's biggest smartphone maker.

Speculation had also arisen in past months that the company might offer details about a smaller version of its iPad, but the emailed invitation offered no hint of that on Tuesday.

The event will take place at San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, the preferred venue for the unveiling of past products such as the iPad.

Facebook is reportedly set to expand its organ donor initiative to Asia

Facebook’s organ donor initiative looks set to come to its first market in Asia tomorrow, that’s according to Korean news agency Yonhap which reports that the feature will go live for users of the social network in South Korea tomorrow.

The report states that the state-run Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will team up with the social network to give the feature a visible push when it is brought to the country.

As it is a company with truly international reach, Facebook is unlikely to expand the service piecemeal and bring it to Korea alone so we suspect that the country will be one of a number — perhaps from Asia and beyond — that gets the feature for the first time tomorrow. At this stage, however, no details of any such plan have been communicated by the Menlo Park-based company.

Launched in May, the ‘life saving’ initiative, as Facebook called it, has been a huge hit and it has helped swell the ranks of organ donors worldwide. Donor registration numbers jumped by 800 percent in California the day after it launched, while the UK’s NHS saw its own figure more than triple overnight.

The move was widely-praised for the positive change that it is making and, with Facebook rapidly approach 1 billion users, it further demonstrates that the social network is a platform of great influence with the potential to bring about social change worldwide.

A statement from founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg and COO Sheryl Sandberg at the launch of the feature read:

Facebook’s mission is simple: to make the world more open and connected. But the Facebook community has also shown us that simply through sharing and connecting, the world gets smaller and better. Even one individual can have an outsized impact on the challenges facing another, and on the world. At Facebook, we call that the power of friends.

Organ donation is currently available to Facebook users in Australia, Brazil, Columbia, Denmark, Ireland, Netherlands, New Zealand, South Africa, Sweden, UK and the U.S.

To get it, those on the list must ensure that they have a Timeline profile and follow the instructions from the dedicated Facebook Q&A page:

• Click Life Event at the top of your timeline
• Select Health & Wellness
• Select Organ Donor
• Select your audience and click Save

Find Your Most Popular Facebook Posts With This Cool App [REVIEW]

How Popular Was that Video that You've Posted on Facebook ? Or How About Those Pictures and Albums From Your Most Recent Vaction? Well if You Want to Find Out Them Then Here is a Cool App Named Good Sort ...

A new app called Good Sort will find your most popular posts on Facebook according to likes, comments or shares. First, you have to let the app access your Facebook Wall. Good Sort lets you stay on top of the most commented and liked posts that include you, so potentially embarrassing pictures you’re tagged in never get buried in your feed without you noticing them.

Perhaps the purpose of this app is to help you better manage your page, gain more Facebook friends or simply boost your Facebook confidence. But just how much will users want to pay for this app?

The Good Sorts app [iTunes link] is available for $.99 on iTunes, but requires a quarterley subscription of $2.99 if you want to sort posts of friends, groups and pages (so long as you have admin access). Seems a lot to shell out, but so far in the comments on the iTunes app store, users are fans of this app.

Twitter blocks sites, apps 'that don't make money'

Twitter is planning to block access for third party developers which run on the microblogging platform but do not make any money for it.

This means that parody sites and apps that run on the social networking site will soon disappear.

Now, Twitter will only issue a 'sign in' button to websites and apps that are paying to use its data.

According to News.com.au, unauthorised and unauthenticated posts won't any longer be allowed on the site.

The developer of parody site, Klouchebag, Tom Scott told News Ltd that commercialising how people connect to Twitter may make good business sense, but blocking of the developers and apps that helped to boost its popularity was a betrayal.

"Coming from a company that used to thrive on openness, and whose initial push to success was by the techies who built interesting, small projects, it just seems rude", the report quoted Scott, as saying.

Klouchebag is a popular website that parodies 'Klout', a site that claims to be able to measure your online influence.

Dan Nolan, a Sydney app developer who co-designed a Twitter app called Retweets, which let you measure how many times your tweets had been retweeted around the world, said Twitter had cut out anyone that created original work that could not be monetised in favour of selling user data to the highest bidder.

"It's all about data mining the firehose Twitter has provided to partners for profit. Twitter has decided to control the way people connect to it and in doing so, is creating a path to shut down apps they don't like," he said.
