Thats because Rockmet uses Chromium. They simply added a couple of "plug-ins" to allow facebook, twitter integration. Best part, they managed to get $40 million in investment. Go figure. http://techcrunch.com/2011/12/19/rockmelt-vs-chrome/. As far as data collection, a small start-up, entering a cut-throat browser market, with facebook and twitter logins isn't going to collect anything?

Comment It may be a bit outdated, but does what i need. (Score 1) 451

I don't think it has the latest and greatess web 2.0 fancy features. But it does what I need it to do. I have been using www.yuniti.com for a while and thought there aren't alot of people on there. I have gotten my family and close friends on there, which has allowed me to share photos and stories with them quite easily. There are some things that are lacking ofcouse, but like i said gets the job done. I think other sites have this (I haven't used anything else in a long time). but it lets me break up my connections into groups. So, i can share certain info with certain people and not with others. Might be worth checking out.

I have to agree with the post. I have been using free version of TeamViewer with my mom, dad, sister and niece. It works like a charm every time. And, with their Quick Support link, it makes it super easy for people who are not very computer savvy to get started -- http://www.teamviewer.com/download/TeamViewerQS.exe. The other great thing I like about it is that I never have to install it, I run the installer and choose the "run" option, and it leaves no footprint. Overall, great app!

Submission + - Nissan gives silent electric cars 'Blade Runner' a (latimes.com) 1

mateuscb writes: "A campaign backed by automakers and some lawmakers to make electric or hybrid cars noisier in a bid to increase safety for pedestrians and cyclists has taken a strange, âoeBlade Runnerâ-type twist. Nissan sound engineers have announced that the Leaf electric car set for release next year will emit a âoebeautiful and futuristicâ noise similar to the sound of flying cars — or âoespinnersâ — that buzz around 2019 Los Angeles in Ridley Scottâ(TM)s dystopian thriller based on a Philip K. Dick science fiction novel."

What a conicidence, just today i read a blog talking about a really cool new way we could do CAPTCHAS. The idea seems golden! I can't understand why something like this hasn't been tried. If google or this game creator were to try this, it would take a long time for computers to even come close to breaking this. Check out the blog http://www.yuniti.com/BetterCaptcha

Submission + - Social networks at crossroads (snl.com)

mateuscb writes: "A few years ago, social networking Web sites were just some newfangled technology that college students loved. But over time, they have metamorphosed into an unavoidable Internet phenomenon that is changing the way people of all ages keep in touch with friends, find long-lost acquaintances, explore new hobbies and even look for employment."
