Facebook - Facing Boo's

Something is rotten in the state of Facebook – posting a new status, writing on someone’s wall or using Facebook’s payment system have been out of order since earlier today. And what are people to do about it other than complain on Twitter?

Users are reporting that they are unable to Like, comment or post new content to Facebook, sending people in to a panic as the world’s most popular social network has become, for the most part, unusable. It has spawned a #FacebookDown hashtag on Twitter, which appears to become the primary way that users are communicating about the problem, which is amusing in many ways as another social network has had to step in to fill the void.

Facebook’s developers page confirms that the payment system is down since 4:50AM PDT. And it’s not the first time this month either, the same thing happened on October 5 and again on October 12.
The API health monitors are reporting a spike in error count starting the same time the payment system went down and the site’s response time has gone up as well.

No word from Mark Zuckerberg in crew as of yet about when we can expect Facebook to return

Beats Music Streaming Service coming to Windows Phone

TheSpacelab.tv reports that Beats’s new streaming music service, Beats Music, will soon be launching on the web, iOS, Android and Windows Phone, with tablet apps to follow.

The service is based on MOG, which Beats purchased for $14 million last year, and which will convert to Beats Music.  It will concentrate on professional curation of music playlists for various situations such as exercise, relaxation or parties.

“We’re talking about real depth of personalization and knowing who I am, who you are, what we’re listening to, what we like, what we’ve listened to before and then offering up music that is highly relevant to our taste profile,” said Luke Wood, president and COO of the service.

The apps should become available by the end of the year or early next year.

Is i-Phone To Raise The Screen Size?

Analyst Report-

iPhone 6 will raise screen size close to 5 inches

Apple's iPhone 6 will jump in screen size to almost 5 inches from the current 4 inches. At least, that's the claim from Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Brian White.

After meeting recently with an Apple supplier, White expressed confidence that a new big-screen iPhone will emerge next year, as reported by Boy Genius Report.


"Our meeting with a tech supply chain vendor highlighted a bigger iPhone is in the works, and our contact expects a launch in the 2Q:14/3Q:14 time frame," White said in an investors note released on Thursday.


"Nearly a year ago, our research in Asia uncovered early stage work on a larger iPhone, and we indicated in our Apple initiation report dated 9/4/13 that 'a larger screen size on the iPhone is possible in 2014 that could approach 5 inches.' Given today's meeting, we are confident that a larger iPhone (approximately five inches) will become a reality in 2014."


White's prediction follows a similar claim from Jefferies analyst Peter Misek that the iPhone 6 will sport a 4.8-inch screen. Misek's forecast followed a meeting between him and Apple suppliers in Asia. DisplaySearch analyst David Hsieh also is eyeing a larger screen for next year's iPhone, specifically one that's 4.7 inches.

Delta Airlines chooses Windows powered Surface 2 tablets for Pilots

In the battleground for Enterprise, Windows and WP further solidifies their fight with Delta Airlines. Previously arming flight attendants with WP8 powered Nokia Lumia 820s, now their pilots are to get Surface 2 tablets for Pilots

Delta believes they’ll save 13M in fuel and other costs by not bringing 38lbs flight bag containing manuals and maps.

The reason for choosing MS? The surface 2 is apparently easier to give pilots separate sections for company and personal use. Furthermore, Delta’s training software also runs on Windows. Delta has already done tests with iPads but has gone with Surface 2.
