Bell Canada launches revamped push-to-talk service, now with added 4G

Bell Canada launches revamped push-to-talk service, now with added 4G

People have been pushing to talk for a good number of years, but it's a service that has largely remained untouched by the passing of time. Bell, however, thinks it's due a little lick of "next-generation" paint. What's new? Well, the firm boasts that it's the firs PTT service in North America to make use of 4G, which on Bell, means a slice of that "up to" 21Mb goodness. The service launches on a slew of devices that includes the BlackBerry Curve 9360, the Samsung Galaxy SII and the rugged Sonim XP5520 with a range of plans available. Want to know more? Push (the press release button) to find out more.

SpaceX redefines 'fashionably late' as Dragon trip to the ISS is delayed again

Image

Just a week after NASA signed off on its launch, SpaceX has had to postpone the flight of the Dragon. It's yet another delay to NASA's efforts to supply the International Space Station using private spacecraft and reduce the US's dependence on Soyuz rockets. Taking to Twitter, founder Elon Musk said that the company needed to do more testing on the docking code for the capsule, while spokesperson Kirstin Brost Grantham told Space.com that the company needed more time to test and review the hardware. Pending NASA's approval, it'll begin its journey heavenward on the head of a Falcon 9 between May 3rd and May 7th. Given that the original mission was scheduled for November last year, they'll probably need to check the use-by dates on those space rations.

Literally the Sweetest Murals You've Ever Seen (Because They're Made of Sugar) [Beautiful]

Montreal-based artist Shelley Miller has found a new use for sugar, and it's got nothing to do with dessert. Using a technique quite similar to the way decorative icing is piped onto a cake, Miller replicated ancient mosaics, historical Portuguese tiles, and decorative street art—all in a water-soluble medium.

UK department store John Lewis launches broadband service, get in on the ground floorIf you live in the UK, and were thinking "If only I could get my broadband from the same place I get my crystal tumbler set" then maybe now you can.

The standard package will be £11 a month (not including line rental,) offering "up to" 16Mb speeds and a 20GB data cap. More eager users can pay an extra £7 to remove that download limit. Both bundles benefit from a free phone support, no activation fee and, of course, wireless router. Sound like your kind of deal? Head down to the source link, or past the haberdashery section to find out more.

Paint Park (for PS Vita)


FourSquare, Netflix, and Twitter represent just a few of the free, fun downloadable programs in the PlayStation Vita's ($299, 4 stars) PS Store?Sony's own Paint Park (free) is now a member of that mix. Paint Park transforms the PS Vita's 5-inch OLED display into a sketchpad that lets you create doodles from scratch, mark up images taken with either of the PS Vita's cameras, and compete in ad-hoc drawing competitions with other Paint Park users that's an entertaining Draw Something alternative. I have a few niggles?such as the marker color selection being limited and the ability for players to vote for themselves in drawing matches, which may result in a high number of ties?but overall, Paint Park is a solid PS Vita app.

Grabbing the Paper and Markers
You can choose to "Paint Alone" or "Paint With Friends" upon launching Paint Park. I selected the former, which caused a dialog box to open that prompted me to "Enter A Room." I did, and encountered an all-white screen that moved me to think that the app froze or crashed. A dog-ear in the lower-right corner of the screen indicated that the blank screen was indeed the "canvas." Paint Park could use a more obvious "Start Drawing!" prompt to welcome users.?

Tapping the downward pointing triangle in the upper-right hand corner of the screen opens a menu containing a numerous options. I could undo strokes, delete a canvas, open a photo album to import images from my PS Vita, select one of four brush sizes, and choose a brush color. There are a dozen colors in total, but the range isn't as wide as I'd like; there's no true purple, but there are two blue and green hues. Also, I would like the ability to assign a color to individual markers to create a Crayola box of sorts; when you change the marker color, the color is change across all the brush sizes.

PlayStation Picaso
A finger is all you need to begin creating artwork. A magnifying glass appears onscreen to help you apply detail, but I had some difficulty coloring within lines and making fine edits due to my large fingers. I made a few quick doodles, including a very rudimentary Batman with the Gotham City skyline in the background (see slideshow).

One of the cooler features is the ability to incorporate real-world photos. Tapping the camera option on the menu lets you snap photos using either the PS Vita's front or rear-facing camera. You can then apply the markers to it as you would with a blank canvas. Flicking the dog-ear brings up a fresh canvas and saves your previous work to your memory card. Note: You'll need Sony's clunky Content Management software to download your creations off the PS Vita.

Take On Me
"Paint With Friends" lets five Paint Park users enter head-to-head competitions (in ad-hoc local wireless play) to see who can create the best art. A player creates a room in which the content is held, and a subject (such as "PCMag.com"?see slideshow), or just let Paint Park choose a topic for the participants. All involved have a limited amount of time to draw the topic or photo. All drawings and photos are displayed on-screen after the timer expires, and everyone has the opportunity to vote for the best image.

Unfortunately, you can vote for yourself, so there may come times when the match ends in a tie should the individual parties think they're truly the best (or just want to troll their friends). Several of my three-person contests ended in ties.

An Artistic Endeavor
Paint Park isn't a "must-have" PS Vita app, but it's one that comes in handy when you want to kill time in a waiting room or during a commute. For some laughs, gather a few PS Vita owning friends together and compete?just don't take the outcomes too seriously.

Michael McDonald knocks out Miguel Torres at UFC 145 (PHOTO)

Michael McDonald gave the UFC its best (and only) candidate for the Knockout of the Night at UFC 145 with a first-round knockout of former WEC bantamweight champ Miguel Torres. McDonald got the KO with an uppercut at 3:18 in the first round.

After the bout, the 21-year-old planned a g-rated celebration.

"I get to eat some pizza, some ice cream, it's going to be a party tonight! But no alcohol," McDonald said.

'Revenge porn' site shut down by 'anti-bullying' site?

2 hrs.

Previously unrepentant purveyor of "revenge porn" Hunter Moore is pulling the plug on his repugnant website, Is Anyone Up, claiming he's burnt out on child porn and ruining lives. There's also the undisclosed sum for which he sold the site to "anti-bullying" website BullyVille, part of the conglomerate that runs its own exploitive revenge website, CheaterVille. One needn't read "The Gift of Fear" to smell something off in the latest twist in this tale of Internet ick.?

In the pitiless abyss that is the cyberspace, Is Anyone Up ranked among the most odious. Village Voice, in a recent profile of Moore, describes the site as " a virtual grudge slingshot of a website that gleefully publishes "revenge porn" photos ? cellphone nudes submitted by scorned exes, embittered friends, malicious hackers and other ne'er-do-well degenerates ? posted alongside each unsuspecting subject's full name, social-media profile, and city of residence."

Is Anyone Up, operating for 16 months on the razor's edge of legality, "has been a source of public humiliation for pop-punk bassists, a Maple Leafs forward, an Ultimate Frisbee champ, an American Idol finalist, and the founder of Dream Water," the Voice delineates. The site "posts nude schoolteachers, young mothers, American military members, little people, and, recently, a disabled woman in a wheelchair." It's estimated Is Anyone Up received 300,000 hits a day, generating up to $20,000 a month in ad revenue.?

If someone who was exploited on Is Anyone Up wound up committing suicide, "Do you know how much money I'd make?" Moore boasted. Now, just weeks after appearing as the Voice's cover story, where he also claimed he loved that pre-adolescent girls told him they wanted to be naked on his site one day, Moore claims he's broke and burnt out. On Thursday, Moore said on ABC's "Nightline" that his site received "too much attention," and he felt "horrible."?

"I'd get at least 50 or 60 (photos of) underage kids" submitted every day,?Moore told Gawker's Adrian Chen, adding that he did notify authorities. "It wasn't just 17-year-old girls. It was 12-year-olds and 9-year-olds. It definitely got old looking at that stuff every day."?

The Is Anyone Up domain now redirects to BullyVille, a site launched last week by James McGibney, the guy behind CheaterVille -- a website with an exploitation model not unlike Is Anyone Up. "Everyone was slamming [Moore] and saying what an a--hole he was, but no one was doing anything to try to fix it," McGibney told "Nightline."

"No doubt, [Moore] was the No. 1 Internet bully out there and we took him down ... not a hostile takeover but in a politically correct way."

Sure, you could buy Instagram a billion jillion times over with the cash required to shut down bullying websites, but you'd be really stupid or running a publicity stunt to launch your very trendy?"anti-bullying" website to claim you're significantly purging the Internet of its ills. Yet here's McGibney, taking umbrage with accusations of stuntdom as he claims he shelled out the undisclosed amount of cash for the domain to "save people's lives," alleging reports of people who had committed suicide after appearing on the site, while remaining shy on the specifics.?

McGibney's empathy for the exploited does not extend?to his other website, CheaterVille, where spurned lovers are invited to submit the alleged wrongdoings of their exes -- just not their naked pictures or videos ?- no fact checking required. The specifics become part of a handy database where users are invited to check up on the possible wrongdoings of those they're dating. Or whatever. ?(No word on the number of CheaterVille-related suicides.)?

"The Communications Decency Act of 1996 protects companies like Facebook and social media sites," McGibney said in a 2011 interview with Las Vegas Weekly, when asked about CheaterVille's legality. "Facebook is not responsible for what somebody posts as his status update. We are under the same guise."?

And like Is Anyone Up, CheaterVille makes its money off ad revenue, as McGibney said in the same interview:?

So, things are ad generated, and we have some top-rate advertisers. They care about hits, especially return users. Our site is getting users that visit three or four times a day. People are hooked. Our average user stays on for eight and a half minutes. That?s a tremendous period of time.

It's with this same exploitive irresponsibility that BullyVille seems to operate, despite advice from groups like the Centers for Disease Control which says that ongoing, exploitive stories about suicide cause those at risk to obsess about taking their own lives, especially if they're in the 15- to 24-year-old age range.

Regardless, the BullyVille home page is a cacophony of complicated tragedies, broken down into one-size-fits-all video sound bites babbled by C-list celebrities, such as Dr. Drew and the Guns N' Roses lead guitarist (not Slash), who don't have the good sense to know that correlation does not equal causation. ?Teen suicide is a hot topic right now however, and there are clicks to be had and ad revenue to be made.

What of Hunter Moore, the deposed czar of penultimate bullying site Are You Up? "I might do some writing on BullyVille.com to help people who have been bullied; I?ve been on both sides of the fence," he wrote in his farewell open letter. "I am putting this message up on BullyVille.com to stand up for underage bullying. I think it?s important that everyone realizes the damage that online bullying can cause."

Just like his new boss McGibney, it takes one to know one.

Helen A.S. Popkin goes blah blah blah about online privacy, then asks you to join her on?Twitter?and/or?Facebook. Also,?Google+.?Because that's how she rolls.

500px launches Android app, adds iPad update on the side

Confined to the imposing shadow of a certain filter-heavy Facebook purchase, 500px is another photo-sharing network making the eco-system leap to Android. 500px is built around collections of high-quality images that are automatically updated and streamed, with a full search option to seek out specific images. Alongside the ability to share photos on the likes of Twitter and Facebook, professionals can attempt to make their fortune by selling their images through the app and companion website. If you're just there for the sumptuous landscapes and close-ups, however, you can collate slideshows from photostreams and build up your own collection of favorite images. 500px has unleashed an update to its iPad version at the same time, cranking up the resolution to make the most of the new retina display and adding the ability to download full-size HD versions of your purchased photos. Anyone concerned with the little ones perusing some of the more risqué images can also breathe a sigh of relief -- 500px has added an improved NSFW filter. If you're overwhelmed with Instagram's new influx of enthusiastic patrons, you can try 500px's slightly different approach to photo sharing at the download links below.
