Facebook gives you free Wi-Fi at coffee shops

Yahoooo to all the Facebook'ers !!

F'Book will soon set up a new Wi-Fi hotspot service for local businesses with which, we will get free internet access if we check-in to Facebook. Shops would get a Facebook router that directs customers to its Facebook page.

"We are currently running a small test with a few local businesses of a Wi-Fi router that is designed to offer a quick and easy way to access free Wi-Fi after checking in on Facebook," the company confirmed to Inside Facebook. (The Economic Times)

While shops would provide the internet access, Facebook would provide a router. Page owners would be able to monitor how many new 'Likes' the page received from those who used the Wi-Fi service. 

Visitors who don't want to jump through the Facebook hoop could still access the regular network via a password.

Hotel Hyundai i30 Wagon (Concept)

Amazing concept again. Here's Hyundai Netherlands turning its i30 Wagon into four-wheeled, plush, five-star hotel room.

The i30′s has been revamped including a new name–”Hotel Hyundai,” complete with a double-H logo that matches the i30′s manual transmission H-pattern–and custom linens, bathrobes, slippers, and towels. Hyundai also installed two seatback LCD monitors and a micro-fridge between the seats to make sure guests were comfortable, quenched, and entertained. Hyundai parked the i30 on the patio of The College Hotel in Amsterdam, which allowed guests access to its other facilities and even use of its room service.

Well, I'll let their video to talk for itself. Sit back & enjoy.

AT&T Halloween TV Commercial

It truly expresses how Oblivious one can get with the AT&T. But well, only if the network could match up to the ad. And now with Sandy hitting hard on the networks, AT&T needs a strong plan in place.

Which ad do you think matches up to this idea??

Happy Halloween.

Keep the change, HTC

At the recent Microsoft Windows Phone 8 launch event, Microsoft’s Steve Ballmer took to the stage, and praised all the latest Windows 8 devices. But the real story started post the event when it was time for the brands to market their devices more aggressively. 

The gloves are off and the brands standing at the two corners of the market ring waiting to take blows at each other. Punches have begun flying albeit subtly. On its official Facebook page, HTC has posted an image of the HTC 8X with a caption stating, “Don't get weighed down. The HTC 8X is more than 20 pennies lighter than that "other" Windows Phone.”

The caption is befuddling, but a second glance at the image of 20 pennies reveals that the '‘other phone'’ referring to as a 'heavy' handset is the Nokia Lumia 920. The weight of 20 pennies is exactly 50 grams. The Nokia Lumia 920 weighing 185 grams is approximately 52 grams heavier than the HTC 8X.

Anyways, in a social war that was taking place over these phones, the best answer that I found was "Keep the Change, HTC. You will need it soon"

So good to see some Microsoft-Nokia fans still out there in the wild.
