Get great discounts on iOS, Android, OS X, Steam and other games thanks to the ‘Because We May’ campaign

We just talked about some great discounts on EA games on the App Store. But why should iOS users have all the fun? Now thanks to the ‘Because We May’ campaign, you can get great discounts on Android, OS X and Steam as well.

The purpose of this campaign is simple. Developers should be allowed to price their apps as they please. If they want to drop their prices because they want to promote their titles, they should be free to do so. Through this campaign, some of the developers have come together and offered to price their games at a discounted rates for the duration of May 24 to June 1. It also helps highlight the application stores that give the freedom to the developers to price their games whatever they want to.

You can go to their website and choose from some very popular titles, such as World of Goo, Osmos, EDGE, Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP, Riptide GP, SHADOWGUN, Fieldrunners, Super Meat Boy, Braid, etc., all at heavily discounted rates.

If you are a developer and want to take part in the campaign, you can just register on their site and then your game will be listed there.

If you are a user, well, what are you waiting for? Click the source link and start downloading.

Yahoo axis browser

Talking abt the axis browser on the desktop as said in the site it just acts as a visual search engine and with book mark options. The pages apper in tiles by giving a projection of images in them of how the site would look. This was a smart move by yahoo i would say as this plug in can be plugged into any bwoser on the desktops and notebooks. So that's catchy but there are some problems i would like to mention about.

1. When on another serach engine this doesnt load (when i open my chrome, google is my home page and from there it doesnt work)

2. For a deep search its a little time consuming to keep passing on to tiles as we are not able to get the time or date of post like we get on bing or google. Thus tough to know whick one is the latest posted

3. Personally am not so moved over by this axis plugin rather they could have made this a  seperate browser that could have been from seeing what yahoo axis could offer over this plug-in.

4. No talks about the availability for android is really bad as that's one of the most used operating system world wide

5. This plug-in appears to the left bottom of the page and when tapped grows full length and when we start typing raises up to show the visual search. But the problem is as i mentioned abt the not working part where google was open and so i opened another site and till that site got completely loaded this axis plugin didnt surface. I haven't tried on a blank page.

But there are advantages too

1. There is a top trending button right below the search bar that might help the users to get most of the times what they need whick is a good feature on the topic we search

2. Even with the axis we can login to keep our package safe, i must say thats really good for a plug in, sometimes when we find some other browser better than what we use and we like this axis we can import all we had on the other browser's plugin just by a sign-in like importing bookmarks and all we got in it like how we do with google chrome signing-into chrome using gmail to save and sync all bookmarks and imortant stuff with the mail id is real cool

3. Its predective loading feature so like from 18v of the chrom really does a good job giving quicker and better choice to search up on

Verdict: for me i would have preffered a browser over just a plug in. Its good but no so impressive on a browser. Its fun for while but i find google better over the search engines. For a change axis is really awesome.

so.cl a new social networking by microscoft

SOCL is a new social networking site started my microscoft just sometime back. And as expected the sign up page by itself follows the smooth and delighting metro UI and that's fun to watch. I couldn't get into it as its not open to public still but get this what microscoft. and even the site takes it from its name social as so.cl or socl we call. So.cl is an experiment in open search. That means your searches on So.cl are viewable by other So.cl users and will also be available to third parties.

Elsewhere, the site describes itself as

“an experimental research project, developed by Microsoft’s FUSE Labs, focused on exploring the possibilities of social search for the purpose of learning.”

Use cases Redmond has dreamed up include:

• So.cl combines social networking and search, to help people find and share interesting web pages in the way students do when they work together.
• So.cl helps you create rich posts, by assembling montages of visual web content.
• To encourage interaction and collaboration, So.cl provides rich media sharing, and real time sharing of videos via "video parties."

Another part of the screed FAQ on the site says:

We expect students to continue using products such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and other existing social networks, as well as Bing, Google and other search tools. We hope to encourage students to reimagine how our everyday communication and learning tools can be improved, by researching, learning and sharing in their everyday lives.

And the better part is that we are allowed to sign in with a facebook account or a windows live account.

now like how google+ goes with android i would say that so.cl will be may be integrated with the next iteration of the windows phone or with upcoming updates is my intuition. 

The signup process also informs would-be users that:

So.cl does not automatically post your searches, comments, or likes to your Facebook stream unless you choose this option. Also, we don’t contact your Facebook friends unless you invite them.  

Bing seems to be the beating heart of so.cl, whose main feature seems to be socialising searches made with Redmond’s indexatron. As the FAQ explains:

“By default, searches in So.cl are shared publicly. As students work together, they often search for the same items, and discover new shared interests by sharing links. We see this trend today on many social networks, such as Twitter, where shared links spread virally and amplify popular content. So.cl experiments with this concept by automatically sharing links as you search. The So.cl search experience is powered by Bing, and we use the public Bing API’s to display search result data.”

this so.cl is a complete merto UI and really amazing. i couldn't get more from the video on the site. but its sure gonna be exciting and better than google+. if anyone has an account activated already do share what you feel about it. there is an option to follow the twitter page of the lab that's developing it for instant updates.
