About a decade ago, manufacturers started to sell what's now widely known as an HDTV. But now HD is old news, so the industry has decided to push another new technology; Ultra HD, also known as 4K HD.

Second, you can keep your product-to-be private until it's ready to be released to the world wide web. This way you can present a finished (or at least beta) product to your users from day one. Zend Server is a PHP server for Mac that allows you to develop locally with minimum hassle.

Facebook Usage Is Changing - So Which Online Social Activities Are Growing?

Facebook isn't cool anymore. It's the website where your older relatives hang out. It's the place where people post political screeds, religious diatribes, and personal drama you don't want to read. It's seen as a service that doesn't care about privacy, one that constantly wants more and more of your data to sell and profit from. So what are the kids using these days?

Oggl: Hipstamatic's Social Network for Mobile Photographers

Back in May, Hipstamatic launched its own social networking app, Oggl. The free app brings Hipstamatic's filters into a social network environment a la Instagram, but with an admittedly unique feel to it. Available in the Apple App Store and the Windows Phone Store, Oggl not only gives its users a way to see what other Hipstamatic aficionados are up to, it also gives them a new way to use Hipstamatic itself.
