Toto is a tiny, git-powered blogging engine for static websites.
Toto is mostly run through git and can be installed as a Ruby gem.
It’s a very minimalistic blogging engine which has a single default theme, Dorothy.
Comments are handled by Disqus, plus toto has a single configuration file for the whole blog.
Altogether, this is a fairly nice blogging system, but it requires a Rack-compliant webserver (thin, mongrel, unicorn, etc.) to run.
It would not be fair to say that Apple does not have competition in the mobile industry. While manufacturers such as BlackBerry, Nokia, Sony Ericsson etc are struggling to retain their customers, some manufacturers have made the wise choice and are now manufacturing Android devices. Samsung is the prime example, their Samsung Galaxy S 2 smartphone was crowned smartphone of the year in 2011, and it runs Android. LG too makes Android devices and now they have something better in store. LG’s first Intel Medfield powered Android device is going to be announced at Consumer Electronics Show 2012.
Android platform running on processors from Intel can turn out to be a very good partnership. Intel is already known as one of the world’s best processor manufacturers. With the Intel Medfield chip, Intel hopes to break in to the mobile device market because as of now all of its revenue is generated by processors made for conventional computing devices.
On the other hand, Android has gained reasonable popularity in the recent months. Google is activating more than 700,000 Android devices globally on a daily basis and this number continues to grow every day. Sources tell that this number will grow to over 1 million activations each day by the end of first quarter of 2012.
Consumer Electronics Show or CES 2012 is the largest annual electronics show and many manufacturers make their new product announcements there. CES 2012 starts January 9 in Las Vegas. Intel has confirmed that its CEO Paul Otellini will be announcing Intel’s smartphone using their own platform at CES 2012. This smartphone will have the chip by Intel, Android operating system and will be manufactured by Korean manufacturer, LG.
The Intel Midfield SoC or system on chip is an amazing processor for Android devices. It’s based on a 32nm architecture. This atom processor can be used for smartphones and tablets. It has also been reported that an Intel Midfield processor running Ice Cream Sandwich will be capable of streaming content over WiFi, play full HD or Blu-ray video and take over one dozen images in 8 megapixels on burst mode. Simply amazing.
CES 2012 will bring lots of announcements regarding new products. Looks like LG has something good up its sleeves finally. If the design is right, this new smartphone will surely be a massive hit.

Earlier this year in October Apple announced their latest iPhone 4S smartphone. While the iPhone 4S comes with no cosmetic changes, it does come with Siri, Apple’s digital personal assistant. Siri is revolutionary and everyone who does not have an iPhone 4S wants to get it on their respective devices. An app titled Official Siri for Android is now available in the Android Market. It’s a big, big scam.
Siri has surely proved to be a major selling point for the iPhone 4S. As previously mentioned, inspite of the fact that there are no design changes in iPhone 4S, it has still managed to snag the title of the best selling iPhone to date. Much of its success is credited to Siri, which has literally revolutionized how commercial artificial intelligence works.
The developers of this app call themselves Official App. This particular app itself is called Siri for Android. At this time of writing, there were over a couple of thousand downloads of this app however most people who are downloading it are under the impression that this app can somehow bring Siri functionality on their Android devices.
Now Android devices come loaded with Google’s own Voice Actions functionality. When one does download this alleged official Siri for Android app, all they get is a Siri icon on the launcher. Tap on this icon and instead of Siri, Voice Actions is launched. That’s all what this app is capable of doing.
First and foremost, there can never be an “official Siri for Android” because Siri is Apple’s patented technology. It would be a very stupid move on Apple’s part to port its defining technology to its main rival platform, and something of this sort will never happen. Second, there’s a reason why such scams disguised as apps are able to make their way on Android devices. Google in its bid to become different from Apple, does little moderation over the apps that are submitted for inclusion in the Android Market. On the other hand, Apple has a strict set of rules that app developers must follow if they want their app to be included on the App Store.
We therefore advise you not to download this “official Siri for Android” app as it may be running potentially harmful code on your device and pulling your personal information.
PCSS is a server-side CSS preprocessor that enhances the functionality of CSS and makes it easier to write slim and effective code.
PCSS runs on PHP (server-side), and enhances the functionality of CSS by adding variables, pre-defined constants, and browser detection to CSS.
PCSS also offers short forms of numerous CSS properties, and minifies the written code in the end.
Overall, this library is potentially useful for most CSS designers, and the browser detection is really an ass-guard as it allows you to skip a lot of browser-specific code.
It’s the holiday season and people are flocking to all sorts of retail outlets for buying presents. Best Buy, a massive retailer with stores operating not only in the USA but Europe, Mexico, Canada and China as well is now offering the 32GB iPhone 4 on a buy one get one free basis just for this weekend.
Regardless of the fact that Best Buy does not operate in most major countries around the world, somehow it’s name resonates through every market whether it may be of consumer electronics or automotives. Best Buy is now a huge multinational corporation with operations running in the above mentioned countries. Best Buy Mobile, Audio Visions, Five Star, The Carphone Warehouse and Geek Squad are some of the local brands that are owned and operated by Best Buy.
The iPhone 4 is a phenomenal smartphone. Over a year and a half has passed since it was released back in 2010. The iPhone 4 was a complete upgrade over its predecessor, the iPhone 3GS. It came with an all new design, faster processor, more RAM and a better camera. iPhone 4 instantly became a hit so much so that it is still in demand inspite of the fact that Apple has already released the new iPhone 4S. Best Buy is now offering the 32GB iPhone 4 on AT&T and Verizon Wireless in a buy one get one free offer. This offer is only valid for this weekend.
To get a free 32GB iPhone 4, you must buy one from Best Buy. The iPhone 4 which you have to buy will cost you $199, the other one will come free of cost. Do keep in mind that these are not unlocked iPhone 4 units, rather you’ll be taking up a 2 year contract with either AT&T or Verizon Wireless, as per your own choice. Best Buy has made this deal exclusive to in store shopping only, meaning that you an not avail this offer online via the Best Buy website. If you’re looking to gift someone in your family a new iPhone, perhaps this is the best deal out there to kill two birds with one stone, per se.
