latechna Blog

This is a possible video demo of liveplace.com. Thanks Techcrunch.com. Check out the video below.

Besides the odd name, mygazines.com is pretty cool. The concept is that someone scans and uploads their magazine to the site and people view it, simple. However it seems odd that people can upload these newly released magazines, like from this month, without getting in any legal problems. This almost seems impossible, that’s why I emailed the company to ask them how this is legal, I will post the response as soon as I get it. But forgetting the legal stuff this site is easy use. It is a little slow, but once you get your magazine its not that bad. There of course in this web 2.0 world, is a social part to the site. You can share articles and bring in your contacts. You do get what you get for free, some magazines are low quality, however most are not that bad. Over all its a great site, but it will be seen how long this site can last.

Just leave a comment below, thanks.

We may also redesign this blog soon tell us if you think we should.

Well you may be sick of hearing about the iPhone like me, or you may not. As you may or may not know the new iPhone 3G came out Friday, and the reviews are falling off the tree hitting every blog on the way down. Personally I do not see why there needs to be so much coverage, but then again almost every Apple product is like this, the hype and all. I do not dislike all Apple products, but the talk about one product before and after it comes out is overload.

I have not got the chances to test the new 3G iPhone, however I saw a test for the speed of the 3G (below) on Cnet. It was a little over 20 second different in the test of loading a website. 20 Seconds is nice however, the other features that are missing from the 3G like a camera that can record video, landscape keyboard, and changeable batteries make the iPhone a no buy for me, yet.

Please leave a comment on what you thought I said, maybe you could change my mind.

Today we review Synthasite.com. Watch the video below for our review.

Today I tested out slydial.com. Slydial allows you to make a direct call to someone’s voicemail. Right now slydial is still in private beta however you can get access to secret site from slydial.com. Anyways, I wanted to test it out so I used a landline phone to call a cell phone and leave a voice. I called the Slydial’s number and was disappointed. I had a voice come up that said I needed caller ID on this phone so that the person who was calling would know who I am. Although that was disappointing I do understand why that feature is enabled. However, once you get past that obstacle Slydial will direct you to a person’s voice mail immediately. Overall it into the good product and worked well because simple.

Today we are launch the beta of latechna.com’s new site. This site is unrelated to technology, but has to do with history. So if you are interested in history, you will want to check out History-IN from latechna.com.

“History-IN is a video site and podcast dedicated to covering historical events in the US and world history. We are hoping that when we launch that we will have a weekly video podcast about an event which  occurred in the past. We will be up very soon. Go to latechna.com/blog to keep posted about our launch.”
