App Helps You Limbo Under Your 3G Data Cap

Wired Top Stories

Mobile providers are clamping down on how much data smartphone and tablet owners use -- and charging a lot for a little data. But a new app called Onavo is here to help by compressing your data to stretch your data budget even further.

Why is it that carriers can't think of this, instead of constantly complaining how bad we, the end users are, with our data usage.

Britney Spears Surfs PlentyOfFish Dating Site in Her Latest Music Video [Video]: "

Some critics are calling Britney Spears' latest single Hold It Against Me 'genuine art.' Others, 'a total visual assault.' All I know is that the song is the pits, and that she's accepted a lot of product placement moolah from companies including Sony and the PlentyOfFish dating site. Yep, the very same site that Lady Gaga made famous in her Telephone vid, and the very same site that was hacked last month by some Argentinian. [Gawker.TV] More »

Route 66 Maps + Navigation brings AR to the road, keeps drivers' eyes on their phones (video)

It's been a good four years since we reported anything on Route 66, but with a new collaboration with TomTom on the horizon, these bearers of PNDs have once again sparked our interest. At the heart of the partnership is a new Android app, appropriately titled Route 66 Maps + Navigation, that brings augmented reality to GPS navigation -- specifically, a feature called Follow Me that allows real drivers to follow virtual cars turn for turn. Follow Me uses your smartphone or tablet's camera to display real-time video of the road ahead, and places a virtual 3D car directly in front of you on your route -- the car's rear lights indicate when to turn right or left. Maps + Navigation also includes simultaneous voice directions in 57 languages, up-to-date TomTom maps of 100 countries with 3D graphics, and multitouch gesture control.

Is OkCupid's Dating Data Safe With Match.com?

PC WORLD - Feb 12 - OkCupid's fans were not reassured by the immediate disappearance of an OkTrends blog entry from last April. OkCupid's CEO, Sam Yagan, says that he decided to remove the blog post on his own, deeming it to contain inaccurate assumptions about the other sites' data. He also maintains that OkCupid will continue to operate separately from Match.com and be free for most users. OkCupid is extremely data driven. The site's OkTrends blog employs sophisticated statistical analysis. Now all of that data is in the hands of Match.com's parent company, InterActive Corp (IAC). According to Match.com's privacy policy, the company reserves the right to share personally identifiable information with 'other IAC businesses'. However, Yagan insists that OkCupid's privacy policy--which limits the amount of data it shares with third parties--will continue to govern the data that the site collects. 'We are not planning to share any personally identifiable information with anyone,' he says. 'Just because we were acquired doesn't mean we're handing over any user data.' FULL ARTICLE @ PC WORLD
