drag2share: Stamp A Review On Everything You Like And Hate With This Google-Backed App

Critics

Stamped, an app backed by Google Ventures and Bain Capital, launched today so you can share everything you love and hate with friends.

It was founded by ex-Googlers Bart and Robby Stein along with Kevin Palms.

“Review sites are cluttered with recommendations from people you don’t know and don’t care about. We’re focused on quality – only the people you trust recommending only what they truly like best,” says CEO Robby Stein. “Stamped is a simple, fast way to filter out the noise.”

Users can easily scroll through friends' reviews and then take action. Stamped is integrated with OpenTable, Amazon, iTunes and Fangango so users can immediately go do what their friends recommend.

Making Yelp more social seems to be a common app theme right now. Before the Stamped news passed our desk, we were writing about another app that is launching today, Fondu. Fondu lets users write 175 character reviews of bars and restaurants and share them with friends.

drag2share: DisplayLink adds DVI to its USB display adapter repertoire, in Japan

USB to DVI
Tired of all those USB to HDMI adapters? Got yourself a monitor sporting only an old-school DVI port? Well, don't worry, DisplayLink has your back... as long as you live in Japan. The cumbersomely named I-O DATA USB-RGB3/D USB 3.0 to DVI display adapter just hit shelves in the Land of the Rising Sun for the equivalent of $137. By hooking up to a computer's USB 3.0 port the adapter is able to push video at resolutions up to 2048 x 1152 over a standard DVI cable. It's a great way to salvage that aging, but still high-quality display if you've got a newer notebook that's gone the HDMI-only route. Hopefully some adapters powered by DisplayLink's tech will start making their way stateside soon. If not, there's always imports. Check out the complete PR after the break.

drag2share: Motorola XT615 Android phone arriving in Taiwan: slim, but not RAZR-thin

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/22/motorola-xt615-android-phone-arriving-in-taiwan-slim-but-not-r/

Side-stepping the moody design tones of its RAZR brethren, Motorola has announced a new Android-powered smartphone for Taiwan. Measuring in at 9.8mm thin, this Gingerbread-powered slab sports the outfit's MotoBlur-derived Moto Switch UI, with an eight megapixel camera on the back and a VGA shooter on the front. The XT615 packs quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900), WCDMA (900/2100) and HSPA (7.2Mbps) radios, while processing power comes from a slightly underwhelming 800MHz Qualcomm MSM7227A-0, possibly explaining the NTD$10,900 ($360) price tag. The pearly-toned phone hasn't revealed any plans to leave the island nation of Taiwan just yet, but that doesn't mean you can't familiarize yourself with the full specifications in the PR below.

drag2share: Ghost Incognito Automates Your Private Browsing [Chrome Extensions]

Source: http://lifehacker.com/5861440/ghost-incognito-automates-your-private-browsing-in-chrome

Ghost Incognito Automates Your Private BrowsingChrome: Even though every browser has a private mode, it's not always easy to remember to enable it before visiting private sites. Ghost Incognito makes it so you don't have to by automatically opening sites of your choosing in incognito mode.

For most of your browsing experience, the icon sits unobtrusively on your tool bar. When you visit a site you don't want to keep a cache of for whatever reason, you click the icon and it opens in incognito mode. After using it once, it's stored, so every future visit does the same thing. It's a handy feature to have for sites like your bank, but with holiday shopping in full swing, it might work well to cover your tracks if you're ordering from a single retailer.
