There’s some big news today involving Twitter, and for once, it’s good!
Joaquim Vergès, developer of Twitter app Falcon Pro and other Android apps, has announced that he’s joining Twitter as part of the Android core UI group. Vergès explains that he’s gotten tired of all of the limitations that Twitter places on third-party developers, adding that he wants to “make a killer official app with full API and a modern UI.”
Guys, big news. It’s finally official. I’m joining the @Twitter Android core UI team!
— Joaquim Vergès (@joenrv) August 7, 2015
As for Falcon Pro, Vergès says that the app will stay with him. It sounds like he plans to continue working on it, too, explaining that “it’ll be a great place to try new experiments without the slowness of a big company.”
Vergès has done great work on Android, with Falcon Pro being one of the best Twitter apps available on the platform. However, Twitter’s harsh restrictions have had ill effects on Vergès and other developers, including limiting the number of user tokens that an app can have. What makes those restrictions worse is that Twitter’s official app is inferior to third-party offerings. With Vergès joining the Twitter team, though, it’ll definitely be interesting to see what happens with it in the future. And what’s more, Falcon Pro will stick around as a place for Vergès to experiment with, so it’s probably worth keeping it installed if you’ve already got it.

Cuando Nokia presentó su primer tablet, el Nokia N1, nos dejó un sabor agridulce: un dispositivo atractivo y de una compañía de renombre pero que inicialmente solo llegaría a China y Taiwán. Por suerte parece que Nokia está ampliando el mercado y ahora el Nokia N1 está disponible en Europa.
A través de la página web Nokiashop.co.uk se puede comprar un Nokia N1 para toda Europa, pagando unos gastos de 18 euros por el envío. ¿El precio de la tablet de Nokia? El N1 cuesta 314 euros.
Recordemos que la tablet de Nokia con Android cuenta con Android L bajo la capa personalizada Nokia Launcher. Con un grosor de 6,9 mm y unos acabados en aluminio, el Nokia N1 cuenta con una pantalla de 7,9 pulgadas que alcanza una resolución de 2048 x 1536 píxeles.
Su corazón de silicio está formado por un procesador Intel Atom de cuatro núcleos a una velocidad de reloj de hasta 2.3 GHz, además de contar con 2 GB de memoria RAM y 32 GB de almacenamiento interno.
El N1 cuenta con una cámara de 8 megapíxeles en la parte trasera del tablet, además de una batería de 5.400 mAh, más que suficiente para soportar todo el peso del hardware de este tablet Nokia con Android.
Veremos cómo funcionan las ventas en Europa aunque me parece que llega un poco tarde…

We have seen some impressive Xbox One bundles in the past, but this one takes the cake, at least for now. Best Buy has announced a back to school sale that that combines Microsoft’s 500 gb Xbox One (with either Halo: The Master Chief Collection or Assassin’s Creed: Unity+Black Flag) with a 40-inch Samsung TV, aimed at incoming college students. The TV costs $429.99 on its own, which, when assuming $30 (could be slightly higher, could be slightly lower) for the bundled game, puts the price of the actual Xbox One hardware at $40. This is of course the logic of the bundle, which assumes that you would have bought all the of individual components for full price separately, but still, if we assume that, that’s an Xbox One for $40. That’s not bad. That’s not bad at all. The deal will run Sunday Aug. 9 through Sunday Aug. 15, so look for it then.
