Mark Zuckerberg Now Richer Than Google Co-Founders

Today and according to Cnet it looks like that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is now richer than Google Co-Founder Larry Page and Sergey Brin. And that's in my opinion not a new thing as Facebook is getting more popular and when Facebook has over 750 million active users and receiving more than 25% of all page views in the United States.
From CNET:
But perhaps the biggest movement, at least when looking with an eye for tech moguls, is Zuckerberg’s rise to No. 14 on the Forbes list with $17.5 billion. Last year the 27-year-old was at No. 35 on the list at $6.9 billion and the year before he didn’t even didn’t even qualify as a billionaire. Zuckerberg, this year, also elbowed out Google co-founders Larry Page, 38, and Sergey Brin, 38, who both ranked 15 on the list with net worths of $16.7 billion.
 And as the reports say that Mark Zuckerberg now have $17.5 billions in his pocket, great number right ? Congratulations Mark for this nice and cool step....

Apple Is Planning To Loan iPads To Retail Employees

Good news iff you are one of Apple employees then you may get some features and offers for you, as it was noted by Cnet that Apple is planning to loan iPads to it's retail employees, and as the report say that loaning will began in Apple’s San Francisco flagship store, and might extend to other cities.

So Apple employee will be able to check out any iPad for only one week, and the target from to make Apple employees become even more familiar with the device.

The future program, which one source described as a “pilot,” is designed to let employees borrow from a stock of loaner devices. Employees can then use the device freely for one week before having to return it to the store, allowing for others to use it.

Google Confirms That 2/3 of Their Mobile Searches are done via iOS Device

Yes that's right according to Suzanne Michel, former FTC official and a new Google employee, two third of all Google mobile searches are made from an iOS device, may it be an iPhone, iPod or iPad.


Suzanne confessed this during the testimony today before the Senate Judiciary Committee that all three major search engines had to submit a bid to Apple for becoming the default search engine in iOS devices.

Pretty embarrassing, as we all know Google is the one behind all the Android devices and loosing like this has ashamed the company.

Awesome Tip: Use Emoji In Your iOS 5 Folder Names


We’ve found this interesting feature  in iOS 5.. Apple has included build-in Emoji keyboard in the iOS 5 and you can use it in folder names. Instead of having your applications broken down into App1, App2, and App3 folders, you can set apart each folder with an icon. It’s kind of hard to explain, but the images below clearly tell the story.

All you have to do is to go to Settings > General > Keyboard > International Keyboard > Add New Keyboard > Emoji. Just like in the screenshot below:


We’ve been hearing a lot about Apple launching two new iPhones this year, a major device upgrade with 8MP and A5 processor which is known as the iPhone 5. The other device is either called iPhone 4S or iPhone 4-plus, it’s a cheaper iPhone 4 with the same design.
iPhone 5
Now we’re seeing a new confirmation: Apple Board of Directors member Al Gore confirmed earlier that the company is ready to launch “new iPhones” next month, yes, with “s” plural letter!
At the Discovery Invest Leadership Summit today, Gore said:”Not to mention the new iPhones coming out next month. That was a plug.”

Gore hasn’t added any further information about the release date or details about the new iPhones but we’ve got an AllThingsD report earlier today saying that Apple’s fall media event is scheduled for October 4th.
During its fall media event, Apple is expected to announce the iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iCloud, iOS 5, and may be a white iPod touch.
Wait, just got a thought! What did Gore mean by “new iPhones”? Does it mean a white & black iPhone 5? or iPhone 4S and iPhone5? Let us know what do you think in the comments section below!

KBShortcuts Adds Shortcuts And Increased Functionality To iOS’ Keyboard (Jailbreak)


I consider KBShortcuts is the best tweak ever available in Cydia. Found in Cydia store for $2.5, KBShortcuts adds new and increased functionality to iOS’ stock keyboard, via a number of new “shortcuts”. You can say that KBShortcuts is a merge between ActionMenu, TextExpander, and Swype (awesome, isn’t it?).
KBShortcuts
KBShortucts brings the following functions:
  • Translate
  • Define Word
  • Search and Replace
  • Overwrite Mode
  • Word Count
  • Text Navigation and Selection
  • and many more…
To use KBShortucts, you should just swipe from your keyboard’s ‘Space Bar’ to the shortcut key. For example, swiping from space to the “c” key performs the “copy” action, while swiping from space to “a” performs “select all”.
Moreover, it’s possible to insert “quick text” users have defined in the tweak’s settings into a document, using a preset swipe action.
We’ve made a small video walkthrough for this tweak, check it below:
KBShortcuts is available in Cydia store for $2.50. It won’t add any new icons on your Springboard and it can be surely configured from the Settings.app.
