| OUYA: Android Game Console’s Secrets Raise Questions Posted: 21 Jul 2012 02:50 PM PDT  While the OUYA -- the Android-based, hackable video game console -- is still raking in funds on its multi-million dollar Kickstarter project, the secretive nature of the project is raising questions for game developers. "How can the OUYA convince developers who are sitting on the sidelines to jump in?" asks Gree Vice President of Studio Operations Anil Dharni. "I am very interested, but where are the users? Where are the gamers?" Until three months ago, Dharni was the Chief Operating Officer of Funzio, which released three well-received titles on iOS and one on Android. He and CEO Ken Chui sold Funzio to Gree for $210 million, giving Gree, a Japanese social network that has been ex… More About: android, gree, kickstarter, ouya

| EarTop Flow Makes Almost Any Audio Device Wireless [VIDEO] Posted: 21 Jul 2012 01:58 PM PDT  Finally, somebody figured out how to make any audio device wireless. Check out the EarTop Flow, a small Bluetooth device that plugs into the 3.5mm cable jack of just about any audio equipment. Pair it up, and suddenly, you're wireless. The company is showing the EarTop Flow on a pair of Beats headphones at the moment, but it will work on home theater systems, your car if it has an auxiliary input, or any audio device with a 3.5mm input -- in case you're wondering, that's pretty much the standard audio input on smartphones and other devices these days. Music and volume touch controls are built in, and there's a couple of noise-canceling mics on… More About: Headphones, bluetooth, earphones, eartop flow

| ‘Will you visit me in prison?’ Asks James Holmes on Adult Sex Profile Posted: 21 Jul 2012 01:20 PM PDT  While an online search for mass-murder suspect James Holmes across the usual social networks such as Facebook and Twitter has come up empty, TMZ is reporting Holmes's identity on a different kind of social network -- AdultFriendFinder. AdultFriendFinder -- an adults-only website dedicated to connecting people for sexual purposes -- has reportedly verified Holmes's profile, according to TMZ. While the profile contained personal information and some of Holmes's sexual preferences, it was the profile's headline, "Will you visit me in prison?" that stood out. The photo in the profile shows Holmes with dyed orange/reddish hair. After apprehended, Holmes also reportedly told the po… More About: James Holmes, aurora shooting, theater shooting, trending

| Aurora Police Confirm via Twitter: Controlled Detonation a Success Posted: 21 Jul 2012 12:56 PM PDT  The investigation surrounding the theater shooting continues today as authorities attempt to get inside the mind, or at least the apartment, of suspect James Holmes. The Aurora Police Department arrived at Holmes's one-bedroom apartment yesterday to find that it had been rigged with a number of "victim-initiated" booby-traps. Officials noted wires, trip wires, and what appeared to be jars full of liquid accelerant and ammunition. Techno music was blaring from the bedroom -- Holmes had apparently left it playing as he left for the theater. In a media update earlier today, Aurora Police stated they would be releasing any breaking news via their Twitter account. The Aurora poli… More About: Twitter, theater shooting, trending

| Alleged Killer Effortlessly Bought 6,000 Rounds of Ammo Online [VIDEO] Posted: 21 Jul 2012 11:47 AM PDT  It's easy to buy ammunition online, and theater shooting suspect James Holmes took advantage of that fact when he acquired 6,000 bullets with just a few clicks. It was easy enough for Holmes to acquire the weapons he allegedly used in the crime -- he bought them at Denver area gun shops. But it was the purchase of the ammunition that raised our eyebrows. Picking up a few thousand rounds online was a bit more involved than the process you'd use to buy Beanie Babies, though, with ammo sites asking for documentation before they'll fork over the bullets: Be at least 21 years of age More About: Ammunition, ecommerce, theater shooting, trending

| Internet Urges Batman to Visit Victims of ‘Dark Knight’ Shooting Posted: 21 Jul 2012 10:19 AM PDT  The mass killings that occurred Friday morning at the premiere of The Dark Knight Rises in Aurora, Colorado served as a tragic reminder that villains exist in the real world, not just in Gotham City. James Holmes, a 24-year-old student from the University of Colorado, allegedly showed up in head-to-toe protective gear and opened fire on a packed and unsuspecting theater full of people, killing 12 and injuring another 59. Social media users are calling for a hero. Since late yesterday, Facebook pages, videos and petitions have been popping up all over the web urging actor Christian Bale to pay a visit to recovering victims of the massacre -- dressed in his Batman suit.

| Google Puts Social Twist on Ramadan Traditions Posted: 21 Jul 2012 09:56 AM PDT  Google is making religion digital for the month of Ramadan with its launch of Islamic-geared YouTube channels and Google+ Hangouts. For the duration of holy month -- when practicing Muslims fast from dawn to sunset -- a YouTube channel will broadcast live daily prayers from Mecca. Another YouTube channel will be dedicated to special religious programming about Islam as well as Arabic soap operas. Google's official blog reports the channel will make more than 50 Ramadan shows available the same day they air on television. Studies have shown that the rate of viewing Arabic soap operas has historically risen during Ramadan. Google's launch of the new channel may help capitalize… More About: Google, YouTube, religion

| 5 Best Reasons to Recruit With Facebook Ads Posted: 21 Jul 2012 09:29 AM PDT  It's no coincidence that Ford and Coca-Cola have stepped up praise of Facebook ads in recent weeks. Despite initial skepticism resulting from both the novelty of the platform and the inaccurate comparisons to Google AdWords, big-ticket advertisers are beginning to realize Facebook ads' ability to drive sales. But Facebook ads aren't just good for sales. They also represent a tremendous opportunity in the field of recruitment because they can essentially target and attract candidates who are unreachable through traditional channels. If you want to know why your recruitment efforts need Facebook ads, here's why. 1.
