| Clif Bar Launches First Geo-Location Twitter Campaign Posted: 30 Jul 2012 04:13 AM PDT    
Once the company has verified you are indeed outdoors, it will send you instructions to claim a free trail mix bar. You'll also be entered to win a Garmin GPS watch and other prizes. Twitter does allow advertisers to target users in 210 U.S. regions, but doesn't allow them to target users in specific locations -- for example, in parks or at the mall. Clif Bar's strategy, though labor intensive -- they'll have to verify the location of the tweet… More About: Marketing, Twitter, clif bar

| Is This The 10-Inch BlackBerry PlayBook? Posted: 30 Jul 2012 01:55 AM PDT  Photos of what could be the 10-inch version of BlackBerry's PlayBook tablet have surfaced on Vietnamese forum Tinhte. If real, the tablet looks very much the same as its smaller, 7-inch brother, with a simple, black design, relatively wide bezel and a BlackBerry logo on the bottom. The device sports a SIM card slot and a sign that says "BlackBerry4G PlayBook," which imply cellular connectivity of the fastest order. Other than that, no specifications have been revealed. Check out many more photos of the device over at Tinhte, including a comparison with the 7-inch PlayBook and several photos of the device's insides. More About: blackberry, playbook

| Check Out Microsoft’s Brilliant Keyboard for Windows 8 Tablets [VIDEO] Posted: 30 Jul 2012 12:21 AM PDT  With Windows 8, Microsoft wants customers to think of tablets as much more than just "consumption" devices, but also machines that you can use to do actual work. It's an open question whether consumers will share that view, but with great accessories like the Wedge Mobile Keyboard, Microsoft is giving it every chance. The most interesting product in a grab-bag of mobile accessories Microsoft unveiled this morning, the Wedge Mobile Keyboard looks like a pretty unimpressive gray slab when you first lay eyes on it, but the good stuff starts when you remove the rubberized cover. Taking it off turns the Bluetooth keyboard on -- a pretty smart way to cons… More About: Windows 8, accessories, bluetooth, keyboards, microsoft, tablets, trending

| Marissa Mayer Brings Free Food to Yahoo, Eyes Acquisitions [REPORT] Posted: 29 Jul 2012 08:27 PM PDT 
According to AllThingsD's Kara Swisher, Mayer has instituted a few changes already at Yahoo's Sunnyvale, CA, headquarters. Among them: establishing a weekly all-hands meeting on Friday afternoons, and making all the food in its URLs Cafe, which previously priced egg white muffin sandwiches at $3.65 and teriyaki chicken paninis at $5.31, free. Of course, it's easy to say that all of this has been borrowed directly from Google, but these kinds of offerings have become standard at many Silicon Valley offices -- the fact that Yahoo has, until now, lacked them has likely been a… More About: Yahoo, marissa mayer

| Kickstarter Project Is a ‘Smartwatch’ for Your Smartphone Posted: 29 Jul 2012 06:56 PM PDT  A team of watch designers are hoping that their dream product is the technological bridge between your phone and your wristwatch. The founding members of MetaWatch have developed Strata, a "smartwatch" to pair with your smartphone, and they've taken to Kickstarter to raise funds for the project.

Users have spent an average of 46 minutes playing The Hunt (or 9 minutes per week), and 81% of them are weekly visitors. The success of the game, along with the show's ratings, has "definitely played a role" in Teen Wolf getting renewed for a third season, MTV tells Mashable.

| Everything You Need to Know About Foursquare’s New Merchant Tools Posted: 29 Jul 2012 03:28 PM PDT  Last week, Foursquare announced a slew of new merchant tools that give business owners more power than ever before to communicate with their customers through the location-based platform. Before, business owners could claim their venues, set up a special and let the platform take it from there -- it was more of a passive marketing tool. The new additions make Foursquare's local updates far more dynamic, and they leverage location-based marketing in a more targeted way than Facebook and Twitter. The revamp has several parts: Updates -- Share photos, specials and news to nearby customers, a la tweets or Facebook status updates More About: Small Business, foursquare, geolocation, open forum, social media marketing

Though Foursquare was hindered from doing some things because of its partnership with American Express (the Olympics, as Morgan Freeman tells us, are proudly sponsored by Visa), the service will definitely have a presence on the ground. "We have seen some more drastic growth in the UK, but it's hard to say what it is attributed to," says Omid Ashtari, Foursquare's director of business development for European markets. "We have had a great AmEx launch, some strategic partnerships and the redesign in the last few weeks, so there are many factors."

| Record-Setting Electric Plane Flight Almost Didn’t Make It [VIDEO] Posted: 29 Jul 2012 12:22 PM PDT  Chip Yates already holds the record for piloting the fastest electric motorcycle, so why not try his hand at electric flight? The founder and CEO of Flight of the Century, which produces electric aircraft, has set the record for fastest manned flight in an electric plane at 202.6 mph. But Yates almost didn't make it after a scary in-flight hiccup. Yates isn't an experienced pilot, but he did design the record-breaking, all-electric Burt Rutan Long-EZ plane. Yates and his team at Flight of the Century have developed what they're calling "infinite range" technology to enable continuous flight by using a series of in-flight charging aircraft.

| Spoilers: Angry Olympics Fans Tweet Their Protests, NBC Responds Posted: 29 Jul 2012 11:52 AM PDT  NBC, already in hot water with fans over its coverage of the London Olympics opening ceremonies, just can't seem to catch a break. The broadcaster, which has chosen to tape-delay certain events, is catching heat from viewers upset after NBC broadcasters spoiled the outcome of the Michael Phelps - Ryan Lochte 400-meter individual medley showdown. Instead of carrying the matchup live, NBC aired a taped interview with Phelps. After Lochte won the event by nearly 4 seconds with Phelps finishing a disappointing fourth, NBC Nightly News led with the surprising racing result before the event had aired on television.

| Mountain Lion Vs. Windows 8: Which One Is Better? Posted: 29 Jul 2012 08:34 AM PDT  Apple released the latest major upgrade to its desktop operating system, OS X Mountain Lion, earlier this week. Also this week Microsoft announced the release date of Windows 8, the massive overhaul to Microsoft's platform that finally makes Windows friendly to tablets, coming October 26. After a period where both OSes were remarkably similar, they're now more different than they've been in a long time. Of course, Windows 8 won't be final for a few months, but the Release Preview has been available since the end of May, and the feature set is very close to finished. With Mountain Lion serving as the anchor on the Mac side, it bears a new look at how the two OSes hold up against ea… More About: Mountain Lion, SkyDrive, Windows 8, apple, features, icloud, microsoft, os x, trending
