Eco-Made – An Eco-Friendly iPhone Amplifier
There have been a few of these speaker-horn iPhone amplifiers released lately, but this is the first one we’ve seen that is totally eco-friendly. The Eco-Amp is delivered in flat-pack form and made from recycled paper, it’s designed to be a stand-in amp for when you’re on holiday or otherwise away from your B&W Zeppelin speakers.
Read MoreSafeNinja – Unlimited Cloud Drive
Let’s face it, you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to cloud based storage solutions these days, what with Google Drive, Dropbox and all the rest of the online drives offering free space. But I don’t know many of them that offer unlimited space. For free. SafeNinja say, ” … unlike other file hosting services out there, you do not have to worry about storage space, we do not charge for extra space used, nor have any hidden fees or limits. All our users enjoy a true unlimited file hosting space.” Not sure how sustain a business model based on free, but the service is live and accepting sign-ups now.
Google+ Adds Events Feature
Google’s development of Plus continues onwards with one of Facebook’s mainstays brought into the fold. Google+ Events functions, it must be said, nearly identically to Facebook’s in terms of set-up and sharing. However during the event itself, you can engage Party mode on your smartphone and utilise the instant group photo sharing facility.
Read MoreGoogle Bring Lego to Chrome
It’s not often that Australia and New Zealand get Google’s (or let’s face it anyone’s) service launched before the rest of the world. However this latest Chrome (only) browser service was developed here in Australia and has been launched here today. It’s a superb mashup of Google Maps and Lego, in which you can reserve a block of land and build whatever (T&Cs permitting) you want on it. So either bust out that inner child of yours and get building or, you know, let your kids build.
Read MoreFacebook Just Changed Your Primary Email Address Without Asking You
In an effort to pimp the email address they provide to all users (and you know, target more advertising to you off the back of it), Facebook have just made a mandatory change to all accounts. If you check out your profile details now, you’ll find your Facebook email address listed in the Contact Info box. If, like me, you’d rather not have that account as your primary source of contact, just edit the box to change it back.
Gmail for iOS Updated – No Longer Logs You Out on Quit
It’s a small thing, but a bloody irritating one. The Gmail app for iOS never really gained much traction because it was an average app competing with quality software like Sparrow. Now some of its annoyances have been fixed, perhaps as a prelude to a larger update. There’s now persistent log-in, notification center support (lock-screen notifications etc) and send-as alternate sender support.
Read MoreFacebook Messenger 1.8 – Zucks Finally Getting it Right?
Facebook is such a part of the patina of life in this day and age that it’s hard to imagine how we kept in touch with each other before it came along, any more than we can remember what search was like before Google. The Facebook apps (both iOS and Android) have, until now, been fairly mediocre affairs, but the latest version of the Facebook Messenger app shows that they’re finally starting to get at least some things right. New in version 1.8 is faster loading, better push notifications, quick conversation switching and swipe to delete messages.
Read MoreFacebook Announce the Most Social Landmarks Around the World
I don’t normally put stories like this on Geekosity, because every tech site on the Internet will probably cover it, but it’s an interesting subject. The backroom boys at Facebook have gone digging through the planet sized mound of data they’ve collected on us all and announced a few findings. In this case they’ve revealed the most social landmarks around the world, by which they mean those tourist destinations that get more check-ins than any others.
Read MorePlume – Aggregate Twitter Links and Shares Into a Single Timeline – iOS
As we all know, the signal to noise ratio on Twitter is very, very high. Finding the interesting stuff when you’re being bombarded with hate tweets from pre-pubescent Justin Bieber fans (or maybe that’s just me) is a tricky business. Plume is the perfect solution to all that crap because its job is to track the links shared by the people you follow and to drop them into a single, easily readable timeline. Amongst this awesome app’s cooler features is a “Feather” mode that enables you to create lists of Twitter users without having to follow them. It’s in the App Store now, for $2.99.
Read MorePaprika – Recipe Manager for iPad
Recently updated to version 1.6, Paprika is a popular recipe manger for Mac and iOS that enables you to file your favourite recipes and follow them in the kitchen when you want to cook. This latest iPad version has retina graphics, a redesigned interface, star ratings and cooking enhancements such as the ability to cross ingredients off the list as you use them.

About Geekosity
Here at Geekosity we're dedicated to bringing you news you haven't read anywhere else. There's a hundred tech blogs out there, but have you ever noticed how they all cover the same stories, over and over again? We're happy to let them tell you about the latest iPad rumours for the 10th time you've heard it that day, or the news on Microsoft's profits for the 15th time that day. We look for equally interesting stories that have passed by the cloned tech news sites - stories about software, gadgets, science news - anything we think might interest like-minded geeks. The site is edited by Andy Hutchinson, a veteran tech journo with over 20 years experience in hardware, software, gadgets and free lunches with PR people. Thanks for dropping by.
