So Twitter for Mac has been updated via the Mac App Store? New features according to the official Twitter blog are:
- See multiple timelines at once. You can open more than one Twitter for Mac window at any time, giving you a chance to view your home timeline, @mentions, lists, multiple accounts, and more – all at once. Just go to the Window menu and then scroll down to “Open in New Window”.
- Take actions more quickly and easily. We made design changes that make the app easier to use and look even cleaner.
- We added a bar along the top that lets you easily click back to previous pages.
- There is now a separate “New Tweet” button in the bottom left corner of the app.
- We improved the design of Direct Messages, making it easier to view a conversation.
- User profiles now make it easier to learn about and interact with a user.
- Tweet faster. Twitter for Mac now has username and hashtag auto-complete.
Awesome. And I can tell you personally that after updating it’s a much more refined and faster app overall. Go get it!
Hey, you. Yeah, you. Samsung just started rolling out the Android 2.3.3 Gingerberad update to Italian Galaxy Tabs. That means that the update can be made via the Samsung Kies desktop software as firmware/baseband version P1000XXJQ1/P1000XXJPZ. You know, maybe you could manually download it off of a forum, and get Gingerbread. That would be stealthy and dangerous, but cool. Just don’t come after us if anything goes wrong.
Ready for this? The Acer Chromebook will cost $349 with options like 3G (available for slightly more; unknown price) and will be available for pre-order on the same day as the Samsung Series 5 Chromebook — June 15th from Amazon and Best Buy.

It launches on June 15th (in 7 different countries, online) for $429 (WiFi version) and $499 to add a Gobi2000 modem for worldwide 3G usage. The specs include a 12.1-inch, 1280 x 800, 300 nit screen, weigh 3.26 pounds, dual-band 802.11 WiFi, optional global 3G, two USB 2.0 ports, 8.5 hours of battery life, and an HD webcam with a clickable trackpad (new design, not the Cr-48′s).
From Google’s I/O came some uncertainty: When will WiFi Motorola Xooms get the Android 3.1 Honeycomb update? Well, Motorola answered that question this very morning: “Within the next several weeks”.
Android Ice Cream Sandwich is here. The focus of this new version of the Android operating system is that it will be unified OS on all devices, deemed by Google as “one OS that works everywhere” — tablets, phones, and everything else (essentially no more “fragmentation”). A new framework and UI will be present, which automatically resizes and scales itself to the screen size device in question, and the entire gig launches in Q4 of 2011. The new age of Android at its high-point is near. Via:
