Submission + - Make money from Auto Blogs (makemoneyfromautoblogs)
rooseveltcal820 writes: Auto blogging is simply a method of blogging automatically. One can easily automate the content and linking for his blogs without writing the content himself, or posting articles from article sites manually. The major requirements for automated blogging are, firstly, the correct mindset, secondly, the correct method and finally, the correct tools.
At first an auto blogger has to learn managing demands. You can think yourself as a good auto blogger but shouldn’t think that you are producing high quality site which can attract a loyal fan-base using this method. The wise auto blogger knows that all he really needs from one of his "auto blogs" is a few hundred to a few thousand visitors a month, and just one or two ways of turning those visitors into a profitable revenue stream. If he can achieve this, his blog would be considered a success.
One can easily make blog automatically by using RSS feeds. For this purpose, at first, he really needs to do is figure out a concept for using these feeds, and then create his autoblogs. Besides using RSS feeds, articles are also a good way of adding content to his blogs. However, unless he is doing this automatically, the amount of time spent copying articles and pasting them into your blog may not be worth your time.
Another autoblogging tactic is using data feeds from affiliate networks, and posting them into blog posts with the affiliated ID included. Unlike using RSS feeds from blogs, people don't get annoyed when it is done.
When autoblogging is done, one blog is not enough. It is needed to create and manage a lot of blogs at the same time. Therefore, some sort of reseller or VPS (Virtual Private Server) that can handle many domains and individual accounts for each blog are needed. Next comes the blogging platform. One of the most important tools is "RSS feed aggregator" like RSS2Blog or other similar software. An aggregator is the key to almost all autoblogging techniques because most other applications like article posting and data feed posting need it. One other is also need, a language translator script installed on your autoblogs to expand the blog’s traffic exponentially. Lastly, it is also need a social bookmarking script that automatically submits the new blog posts to social bookmarking sites.
I would like to inform you a great news in case of making auto blogs more easily and perfectly. You can just use a great software this purpose. Just visit : Auto Blogging Software
It is a comprehensive package that enables people even like me, who have little technical knowledge, or inclination to create and successfully maintain auto blogs over a long period of time.
This software will takes care of almost every problem that you face while auto blogging. For e.g., it can grab the image associated with extracted articles and upload them to your own server before posting to your Blog so there is no reference made to the original website.

Submission + - Nokia Will Ditch Users For Microsoft? (muktware.com)
sfcrazy writes: Mr Elop told in an interview to Helsingin Sanomat that even if the N9 proves a massive hit, Nokia is going to turn its attention to other, more Windows Mobiley things.
So, should we conclude that Nokia's goal is no more to offer the best products or to protect its developers, or value the work developers have done over ages. Nokia's only goal is to take Microsoft Windows Phone to the market?

Submission + - The Nation publishes fake nuclear scare (nation.com.pk) 1
mldi writes: The Nation, a Pakistani newspaper, decided to publish a completely false nuclear scare story in what appears to be an attempt to discredit the U.S. government. In a story titled, "US orders news blackout over crippled Nebraska Nuclear Plant: report":
...the Obama regime has ordered a "total and complete" news blackout relating to any information regarding the near catastrophic meltdown of the Fort Calhoun Nuclear Power Plant located in Nebraska.
According to this report, the Fort Calhoun Nuclear Plant suffered a "catastrophic loss of cooling" to one of its idle spent fuel rod pools on 7 June after this plant was deluged with water caused by the historic flooding of the Missouri River which resulted in a fire causing the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) to issue a "no-fly ban" over the area.
They go on with other scare tactics such as claiming "an already documented 35% increase in the infant mortality rate for American mothers living in the western coastal regions of the US caused by radiation blowing onto them from Japan".
Who are they really trying to convince, and do you think any Americans would actually buy this?
Submission + - US House takes up major overhaul of patent system (yahoo.com)
Bookworm09 writes: WASHINGTON The House on Wednesday took up the most far-reaching overhaul of the patent system in 60 years, a bill that leaders in both parties said would make it easier for inventors to get their innovations to market and help put people back to work.
The legislation, supported by the Obama administration and a broad range of business groups and high tech companies, aims to ease the lengthy backlog in patent applications, clean up some of the procedures that can lead to costly litigation and put the United States under the same filing system as the rest of the industrialized world.

Submission + - Users angered over frequent Microsoft cloud outage (networkworld.com)
Julie188 writes: "On the cusp the launch of the next-generation Office 365 cloud, Microsoft's BPOS flaked out again. BPOS is Microsoft's hosted Exchange, SharePoint and instant messaging service. Office 365 is the successor to BPOS and is supposed to launch sometime in June. The outage is the fourth in two months, frustrated users say. To add a layer of insult, the application's Health Dashboard was also down, leaving IT administrators completely in the dark. Microsoft blamed a hardware failure for the outage (not sure what that says about the cloud's failover, cluster capabilities, but obviously Microsoft wouldn't be likely to blame the software for the problems). Interestingly, with the Health Dashboard down, Microsoft alerted and informed users of the progress of the outage via Twitter. This BPOS outage lasted for about two hours."

Submission + - Lyto Camera Lets You Shift Focus After Shooting (gizmag.com)
Zothecula writes: For those of us who grew up with film cameras, even the most basic digital cameras can still seem a little bit magical. The ability to instantly see how your shots turned out, then delete the ones you don't want and manipulate the ones you like, is something we would have killed for. Well, light field cameras could be to today's digital cameras, what digital was to film. Among other things, they allow users to selectively shift focus between various objects in a picture, after it's been taken. While the technology has so far been inaccessible to most of us, that is set to change, with the upcoming release of Lytro's consumer light field camera.
Submission + - Oracle Patent Case Against Google Weakening (itworld.com)
jfruhlinger writes: "If Oracle thought that they'd wave their vague Java patents around get licensing money from Google and other vendors in perpetuity, they may have another thing coming. The judge in the case seems skeptical of many of Oracle's claims, and indeed some of the patents at the heart of the suit are being re-examined — and rejected."
Submission + - Mobile Browsers Alternatives Compared (infoworld.com)
snydeq writes: "InfoWorld's Peter Wayner provides a look at 10-plus mobile browsing alternatives, from Firefox, to Opera, to SkyFire, to Mercury, and more — a rapidly evolving area fraught with confusion, especially for developers seeking to target the mobile Web. 'All of this turmoil is creating opportunities. On the iPhone, the formerly unknown browsers are quite nice. They run quite well and sometimes offer the ability to run Flash content directly because they have compiled Flash into the stack. There are a surprisingly large number of new names appearing, and some are beginning to be mentioned in the same breath as the big browsers that dominate the desktop,' Wayner writes. 'The turmoil is also changing the definition of what a browser might be. A number of small applications such as Instapaper, Flipboard, and Evernote never set out to be browsers, but people are using them to read Web pages.'"

You made a mistake. You bought an expensive Android tablet. You should have looked at devices half or a third of the cost, such as Nook Color. It is great for most things such as web browsing and gaming. For the things it's not, you tend to not mind for a device of that cost.
