Filmed in the beautiful “old city” of Montreal, Quebec while I was working this past week. A lot has happened this past week in technology news and the Moxie Mo doesn’t miss anything while being 1,500+ miles away from home.
First, YouTube has completely redesigned their website to allow mobile viewing of their videos on more mobile platforms. This is a huge win for YouTube and something the Moxie Mo believes will continue to revolutionize the cell phone. We tell you how you can start watching your favorite YouTube vids just by directing your browser to Youtube.com on your cell phone.
Second, Twitter is having some major trouble due to geopolitical hackers who have consistently been attacking Twitter’s platform with DDoS attacks. According to reports and Twitter’s own blog, the attacks were 10-fold by this past Friday and Twitter is using all of their power to keep the site up and running. Analysts aren’t sure which political hacker organization is responsible, but signs show it could be from the troubled Russia/Georgian area or even Iran.
Last but not least, Apple’s tablet rumors seem to be inching closer to the truth. The Moxie Mo is very excited about this new news – we give you the specs that have been reportedly identified with Apple’s new experiment, how much it will cost and what it will do… and the Moxie Mo can’t wait for it!
