But what about numbers based on gender. Are there more men or women on social networks across the world.

This infographic shows the gender balances across several of the popular social networking or social bookmarking websites.

On the balance, it seems about 99 million more female visitors are there than male across all social networking sites.

The infographic also shows that the social networks where more female participation takes place tend to be more mobile phone based.

That price seemed a tad to high and lately most online retail websites are showing the prices as Rs. 38,900/-

Specs

Usually I do not expect a lot to be different between the two phones. In recent times apps and features seem to be the big difference in the smartphone category.

• Galaxy S3 does come with only 16 GB but supports expansion upto 128 GB. iPhone’s memory cannot be expanded.iPhone 4S has a storage space of 64 GB at the maximum.
• The screen on the Galaxy S3 has 4.8 inch display. It has a resolution of 1280 X 780. iPhone has a 3.5 screen with resolution of 960 X 640.
• The iPhone 4S has a A5 processor while Galaxy S3 has Exynos 4 Quad processor which is nearly twice as fast.

Android vs iOS

• Galaxy S3 has Android 4.0 (ICS) running on it. ICS has been considered the best of Android to date. Samsung took a really long time pushing an upgrade to its previous models like Galaxy S2 and Galaxy Note.
• Apple’s iPhone 4S runs on iOS 5.1. Usually most users can upgrade to a new OS version within a day after it is made available by Apple.

This difference is mainly because Android is highly customized by Samsung for it’s phones and hence it takes them time to initiate a updated version.

Availability

Samsung unveiled Galaxy S3 on 4th May while its already available in India inside a month. Apple is usually a lot slower introducing their products in India.

Galaxy S3 will be available at most mobile phone retailers and also will be available on a majority of online retail shops.

iPhone 4S is usually not available officially on any online retail website in India.

Price

The price of a phone in India can literally make or break it. This is where Samsung has a big advantage over Apple. Apple’s iPhone 4S is priced from Rs. 42,000 onwards. The price of Galaxy S3 as I mentioned earlier is Rs. 38,900.

Final words on the iPhone 4S vs Galaxy S3 debate

All said and done it looks like the Galaxy S3 is a much better phone. It also is a lot more powerful but it remains to be seen if that better processor ends up being a battery hog.

But it should be noted that Galaxy S3 is not really a competitor to iPhone 4S. It will eventually compete with iPhone 5. With Apple expected to launch iPhone 5 later in the year, it could be worthwhile to do a comparative analysis then.

Mozilla has launched Webmaker, which actually allows users to get regular tutorials and projects that will teach coding and designing for the web.

Why should one sign up with Mozilla Webmaker?

Mozilla first will users with some free tools to learn how to create webpages. Most of them should be compatible with Firefox browser.

Many practical projects at starter level will be made available. This actually makes a lot of sense for people teaching themselves HTML, CSS and more.

Mozilla wants everyone to be a coder!

It seems that Mozilla’s mission with webmaker is to make everyone into a programming geek. I think that is not possible but it will help people who want to learn something to atleast a decent level, so when they look at say a HTML code, they are not completely overwhelmed.

Just visit plus.google.com/places if you when you are on Google plus. You will see locally relevant places categorised under Restaurants, Hotels, bars and places of entertainment.

I could leave a detailed review of the places I found on Google+ Local. The review actually ends up being published under your Google+ profile name. Anonymous reviews are not allowed so that spamming does not happen.

Google+ Local is a replacement for Google Places

Google+ Local will replace Google Places and that means a lot of SEO experts will be interested. It will also make it necessary for businesses to have official Google+ pages.

I guess Google will have to get this really right for mobile phones as more people tend to look for local information on their smartphones rather than a desktop browser.

Here is the video demo of Google+ Local

I have often seen a lot of my friends use Facebook check-in, when they visit a restaurant or some popular place. This is a nice way to share with your friends where you are. But it does not seem to allow me to search for what my friends think of local places of businesses. So maybe Facebook is losing a trick here.

Lately, I have not checked my Orkut profile for months on end while I check my other social profiles atleast once daily.

Today, Orkut rolled out a new feature that allows users to link their Google+ profiles with their Orkut profiles.

Login to your Orkut account and ideally you should see the option to link it with your Google+ account as seen in the screenshot above.

Now Allow your Google+ public posts to be published on Orkut.

You will notice that your old Orkut profile image has been replaced with the one from Google+.

Is it the end of Orkut?

Considering Orkut still has millions of active users and Google+ is still relatively modestly successful, I did not really think Orkut would be closed down by Google. But options like this one and also other previous features like importing photos from Orkut to Google+ actually allow users to sort of co-opt Orkut into their Google+ profile. Orkut might not close down anytime soon but it seems like the beginning of the end for it.

According to Pocket-lint, Facebook is rumored to be in talks of buying Opera. This would mean Facebook would have it’s very own browser.

Opera is used by 200 million people. But that is not something that would interest Facebook which is inching closer to 1 billion users.

Opera is the most popular browser on mobile platforms.

What does Facebook gain?

Facebook would overnight gain a very successful mobile browser. Facebook has not be very successful with mobile phones. It is the reason it shelled out $1 billion for buying Instagram, which is a mobile only photo app.

Facebook also has a problem of not figuring out how to make money from mobile phone apps. Below is a graph from StatCounter, that shows Opera is the market leader for mobile phone browsers.

Overnight Facebook might end up with a popular browser on mobile and tablet platforms. This will be important in the years to come when more and more people end up consuming content on tablets or mobile phones rather than the desktop browser.

Opera Users might not be happy!

I came across this discussion on Opera’s Forum, where users are not too happy about the prospect of their browser being bought by Facebook. Some threaten to quit using Opera and move to Firefox while others are wondering if Facebook acquisition would mean the end of privacy for users.

Some also worry if the browser will be more prone to attacks once it becomes popular as a Facebook browser and not just a browser with a small user-base.

On another note, I wonder where it will leave RockMelt which resembles a Chrome browser with Facebook extensions.

He won at the Google Code-in 2o11, at the young age of 15, which gave him the oppurtunity to visit Google’s Mountain View Headquarters in California, USA.

He won at Google Code-in again this year and will leave for another trip to Google’s campus in a few days. Before he did that, I thought of catching up on him about his journey so far and what his plans are in the future.

Q: Tell us a bit about yourself?

I am Gautam, a 16 year old, XIth grader, geek, obsessed with coding and photography. Anything related to technology interests me, whether it be creating a small bot or open source projects like WordPress or artificial intelligence.

Q: How did you start getting interesting in programming?

I started programming way back in seventh grade by writing some bots in Visual Basic (Orkut bots, if someone remembers them ) after reading some tutorials online and then trying out new things mainly related to hacking. Eventually I got into PHP and have been programming in it since then.

Q: How did your participation in Google Code-In come about?

Google Code-in has been one of the most impactful experiences of my life, letting me know my potential and connecting to some of the greatest people in the field. I am now in contact with so many which wouldn’t have been possible without the platform that I got.

I have worked for about five open source organisations during the competition and completed about 75 tasks ranging from programming to documentation to translations, winning hundreds of points and securing a position in the top ten both times. I also got to know about some technologies which were completely new to me and using them in real time.

Q: How was it visiting Google Headquarters in Mountain View? Is it as good as some of the videos suggest online?

Google Headquarters is more wonderful than the videos online. You see the Googleplex, but you don’t get the feel. It is only when you’re in the complex that you feel it for real.

We toured the whole complex, including the great big Android statue, Charlie’s Cafe and the list goes on. We also met many wonderful people including Chris DiBona, Alan Eustace, Josh Bloch, Jeremy Allison. Overall, it was just awesome.

Q: What attracted you to developing for WordPress?

I have been introduced to WordPress three times, never got introduced to Joomla or Drupal. I created my first blog on wordpress.com when I was about 10 by copy pasting content from other blogs – didn’t know that that was illegal – deleted it soon after getting bored. After a couple of years, got introduced to it again from a friend on Orkut running a self-hosted blog and it was then I got to know that WordPress was an open-source software.

But I still was only into Visual Basic back then. The third time, I got involved with a blog on Orkut called OrkutPlus which ran on WordPress too, for which I contributed by creating scripts and blogging.

I didn’t start developing directly for WordPress, rather with bbPress – I was setting up forums for OrkutPlus and decided to port a WordPress plugin SexyBookmarks as bbPress plugin Social It and then moved on to WordPress with time.

Q. You are not just a techie, you also contribute time for a NGO. Tell us a bit about that part of your life?

Yes, that’s right. I’m one of the co-founders of an organization named Discover I, where we tap the hidden talent of the underprivileged children, for example dancing, singing, computers and other co-curricular activities. We associate them with teachers or students who are good in that field so that their creativity could come out too!

I particularly got excited about this as I always wanted to do something for the society and when some of my friends came up with this idea to open up a NGO, I quickly agreed and became a part.

Q. What are your plans for the future?

As an XIth standard student, I currently have plans to prepare for engineering institutions in India and give SAT for the universities in the United States, following which I see myself as a founder of a tech startup in India being covered on Devils’ Workshop.

Thanks for your time and here is wishing you all the very best from everyone at Devils’ Workshop. We are incredibly proud of your achievements at such a young age and may you keep doing awesome things in the future.

Any.do's Chrome extension

The app pretty much resembles the Android version, with which you can organize your tasks into folders, set the priority for individual tasks, or even set reminders for email notifications. You can also add notes for the tasks, and the drag-and-drop functionality is handy to rearrange the tasks.

I really like the typography – font type and the font color used, and the transitions are pretty smooth. I’m amazed, it doesn’t have voice recognition (which exists in the native Android app) which is actually built into Chrome.

Get invites to try out the app

The extension is still in beta, and the team is gradually sending invites. All you got to do is, mail them at feedback(at)any.do, and they’ll be adding you to a Google group where you can get the link to download the extension.

Apart from the Chrome extension, they’re also planning to release a web version, and also an iPhone app, for which you can get notified by signing up at Any.do.

Well Yahoo Axis is not exactly a browser but a set of browser extensions which work with Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari on the desktops. It is also available as a standalone app for iPhone or iPads.

Features of Yahoo Axis

• The extension basically provides the ability to search for stuff online, saving a webpage as read later and bookmarking.
• The layout is rather neat and search seems to be more visually attractive than the usual search engines which show a bunch of links.
• Yahoo Axis will probably a lot more useful as phone and tablet apps. At the moment it is only available on iOS platform.

Yahoo might be a company in decline, but it still is visited by millions everyday. So this app might be quite a interesting development for users. The idea might be novel but I do think it is a case of too little, too late for Yahoo as a internet giant.

Here is the video demo of Yahoo Axis
