10 Android apps that could get you fired
Takeaway: Sure, you can download all the apps you want on your personal devices. However, if you download the following Android apps on your business phone or tablet, you could get in a lot of hot water at work.
Mobile apps are huge right now, and their popularity is only going to increase over the next few years. There literally is an app for everything, but that doesn’t mean that you should download every app that you run across on the Android Market – or other app marketplace, if you don’t have an Android device. This is particularly true if you were issued a smartphone or tablet through work. Hopefully, your organization has a usage policy in place, which will give you some guidelines to follow. If not, use common sense, folks.
We’ve put together a list of some Android apps to watch out for or completely avoid altogether. There are many more examples out there, but we thought this sampling would give you a good idea of ones you should stay away from. This is not a post about moral or ethical beliefs, and we are not promoting or condoning the usage of any of the apps on our list. In fact, you can download all the apps you want on your personal phone. Our message here is simple: downloading some apps on your business phone could get you in hot water at work.
Illegal activity
1. Weed Farmer
In the Android Market, the Weed Farmer is described as “much more than a virtual plant growing app.” It’s an online game, and you can even chat with other farmers to share harvest tips. Work might not be the best place for online gaming, and if your employer does random drug screening, this app might be the perfect catalyst. Let’s hope your gaming life doesn’t blur into your reality, or your career could go up in smoke.
It might be a good idea to stay away from other apps that highlight illegal drugs, like Nose Candy.
2. KG Dogfighting
As NFL quarterback Michael Vick found out, dog fighting is illegal and punishable by law. While the KG Dogfighting description reassures consumers that this app is just a game, a petition is currently circulating to ban it from the Android Market, arguing that it promotes animal cruelty. One thing is for sure — you might as well have ripped open your own jugular if your manager happens to be an animal rights activist.
3. Serial Killer Quote of the Day
According to the Serial Killer Quote of the Day, with this app, you can “Get in the mind of some of the world’s most gruesome killers.” Sure, the Showtime series Dexter has a certain appeal from a vigilante perspective, but spending too much time on various serial killer quotes may make you the next target for termination. This is especially true if you’re an IT pro for the United States Postal Service.

Alot of my friends been asking about this Cpu and here it is! personally I love it and recommend it highly!
Ray Explains: Why Intel’s Core i7 Processor Is a Beautiful Monster
Brilliantly fast
With faster, intelligent, multi-core technology that applies processing power where it’s needed most, Intel® Core™ i7 processors deliver an incredible breakthrough in PC performance. They are the best desktop processor family on the planet¹.
You’ll multitask applications faster and unleash incredible digital media creation. And you’ll experience maximum performance for everything you do, thanks to the combination of Intel® Turbo Boost technology² and Intel® Hyper-Threading technology (Intel® HT technology)³, which maximizes performance to match your workload. http://ark.intel.com/ProductCollection.aspx?familyId=28037
Last week, you probably noticed new computers from Dell, Gateway and othersusing a brand new, bizarre-sounding chip from Intel: the Core i7. You might have even seensome benchmarks and features showing that this is a real beast of processor. Well, we’re pretty excited about the Core i7, so here’s a quick guide to why it’s so awesome:
Hokay, so the way Intel develops chips is on what it calls the “tick-tock cycle”. The “tick” is the improvement of its current microarchitecture, mainly shrinking it down to make it more energy efficient, along with other tweaks. As you now can guess, the “tock” indicates the launch of a totally new microarchitecture.
Penryn, for instance, was the tick to the Core 2′s tock, shrinking it down from a 65-nanometer process to 45nm. Core i7 is a tock, using a completely new microarchitecturecodenamed Nehalem. Core i7 Nehalem is actually a dramatic step forward, remedying several lingering Intel architecture deficiencies that AMD actually had them beat on years ago. So, here are four things that specifically make the new chip awesome:
Bye Bye Front-Side Bus
The ancient front-side bus setup has long been a drag on Intel’s chips, and they’re finally ditching it. The FSB essentially carried data between the CPU and memory controller hub (which is also out the window, more on that in a sec), but that didn’t work so well when you started talking buckets of cores. In its place is a new tech called QuickPath Interconnectthat’ll make the old bottlenecks history and running tons of cores even better. QPI uses direct point-to-point connections that have a bandwidth of about 25GB/s, way faster than what FSB could offer. The downside is that it requires a new QPI-friendly motherboard. This concept is kind of cribbed from AMD, whose HyperTransport has been doing something similar for a longass time.
Integrated Memory Controller and Triple-Channel Memory
You might notice a pattern that a lot of Nehalem’s performance boosts have to do with better access to memory and fatter bandwidth. Yet another tech that AMD held over Intel’s head for years is an integrated memory controller, which Core i7 finally uses. Basically this just means that the memory controller is on the same die as the CPU, cutting down memory latency. Before, with Intel chips, communication had to take place across the front-side bus, making stuff slooooow. The last memory bonus is that Core i7 supports triple-channel memory. Right now, you’re probably on a computer using dual-channel memory (in English, I mean that it uses RAM sticks in sets of two). Core i7 will make three sticks of RAM the new standard—so keep an eye out for plenty of 6GB and 12GB systems running around.
The Return of Hyper-Threading
Intel abandoned Hyper-Threading after the Pentium 4, but it’s back in Core i7 (and Atom, but really, psh). Basically, it’s a parallel-processing tech that runs multiple threads simultaneously. In English, it divvies up tasks so they can be crunched by a processor simultaneously, instead of one after the other. It short, it makes video encoding and other parallel-friendly processes run faster. We’re interested to see what kind of gains this will produce in tandem with programs coded to take advantage of threading, not to mention the next great operating systems, Snow Leopard and Windows 7, which will supposedly make better use of multiple cores and parallel processing than current OSes.
Built-In Power Management and Overclocking
Core i7 is pretty much a beast already, but whereas Intel used to say that overclocking was bad for your processor, now with the Core i7, it’s built right in. The Core i7 is really aggressive with power management, more so than Core 2, so it’ll sip juice when it’s not busy, and then crank the power when it needs it. In the BIOS now, you can set it to overclock the CPU in certain situations, and customize that by thermal ratings so it won’t overheat.
So yeah, Core i7 gets our engines running, and we’re not even chip nerds. (Honest!) Sadly though, right now there are just a few Core i7 chips available, There’s not much of a downside for portables—save for the need for new motherboards and the DDR3 RAM already used by premium laptops—but you see it in a Dell XPS notebook or MacBook Pro, you’re going to see it in a lot of desktop gaming and graphics-intensive systems and Laptops well worth the wait. UPDATE!!!!!!!!! Now in Dell XPS notebook and I love It!!!!!

The Google Android Tablet: Coming Soon?
By Ray Vega 12/30/, 2010 3:38 pm
Watch out, iPad: Google may be getting into the tablet game. In a move reminiscent of its recent step into mobile phone design, Google is reportedly working on its own custom Android-powered tablet.
Most of the specifics are still unknown — what features a Google tablet would include, for example, or who would manufacture it — but if there’s one thing we can count on, it’s with whom a Google-made tablet would compete.
Google Android Tablet: What We Know
The Google Android tablet news comes by way of a story published in The New York Times on Sunday.The story, a piece about upcoming competition to Apple’s iPad, states that Google is currently “exploring the idea” of creating its own tablet computing device. The gadget is described as “an e-reader that would function like a computer.”
The info, according to The Times, comes straight from the big dog’s mouth: Google CEO Eric Schmidt is said to have divulged the Google tablet scoop while chatting with friends at a recent party in L.A. Other insiders supposedly confirmed the concept.
“People with direct knowledge of the project — who did not want to be named because they said they were unauthorized to speak publicly about the device — said the company had been experimenting in ‘stealth mode’ with a few publishers to explore delivery of books, magazines and other content on a tablet,” The Times reports.
Envisioning a Google Android Tablet
Knowing the principles of the Android operating system, one can make a few educated guesses about what a Google Android tablet could be and how it might compare to Apple’s iPad. First and foremost, it’d likely be a far more open device in terms of customization: While Apple tends to maintain a tight grip on its user experience, Android-based devices typically allow users to configure the interface to their likings and replace stock components as they choose.
The same principle applies to applications: Compared to Apple’s highly controlled approach to app development and approval, Google’s Android Market for apps allows anyone to submit and publish programs without scrutiny. Android-powered devices — with the exception of those that run on AT&T — also let users download apps from unofficial third-party sources. One would imagine these qualities would be among the basic tenets of a Google-made Android tablet.
Along those same lines, a Google Android tablet would likely provide support for Flash — something Apple has long forbidden on its mobile computing devices. The existence of an open app marketplace could also mean immediate support for tethering, as we’ve seen happen via third-party utilities on Android phones. And, of course, any Android tablet would presumably provide feature-rich apps for Google services such as Gmail and Google Voice, something Apple also does not permit.
As for the device’s form, Google has previously published conceptual images of how a Google-centric tablet might look. Those concepts, however, revolved around the idea of a Chrome OS-based tablet, so they may or may not apply to an Android-based design.
Google Android Tablet: A Reality Check
It’s fun to imagine what a Google Android tablet could do, but don’t let some of the headlines out there fool you: From what we know so far, there’s no reason to believe a Google-made Android tablet is an “imminent” or even a certain thing.
Read back over what the info provided by The New York Times actually states: Google is “exploring the idea” of building a tablet device. It is “experimenting” with possibilities. Despite some bloggers’ tendencies to fill in the blanks with big words, there’s no indication that this is a done deal, let alone something that’s likely to occur at any moment.
We do know, however, that a slew of new tablets is on the way for 2010, and many of them are expected to be powered by Android. So whether or not Google ends up building its own tablet, numerous new options will soon be headed our way. The iPad may have been the first serious contender, but it won’t be the only one for long.
