PLEASE GO TO WWW.TEKUNOLOJI.COM
Ladies and gentleman of the Internet. After a much planning and doing (this was the hard part), I’ve finally moved this tech blog over to dedicated hosting, independent of WordPress.com. As part of an identity re-brand, the new website is now known as TEKUNOLOJI. You can visit the website at http://www.tekunloji.com or hit the big screenshot below.
With a real domain and a new name, I think the blog will finally be getting the attention it deserves. Please update your bookmarks to point to the new URL.
Again, thanks to everyone who has kept up with the blog over the last eight months. It means a lot to me when there are readers visiting this website. It means I’m doing something right.
Lastly, it would be a tremendous favor if you could Twitter the new website, tell a friend on Facebook, and just spread the word about TEKUNOLOJI.COM. Every person counts. Thanks for all your support again, and see you at the new website!

Another day, another rumor. This time it’s about Zynga and Facebook. You may know Zynga, developers of the highly addictive and “social” games FarmVille and Mafia Wars. With an over 82.7 million active users cultivating their virtual farms, it’s no wonder Zynga may be pushing to test their player’s devotion meters.
How hooked on FarmVille are you that you would leave Facebook to play it? That’s the other thing. I’m not so sure it would be as fun or sustain the momentum. I know I wouldn’t play Restaurant City if it was on another website way back then.
So what do you think? If Zynga does decide to split from Facebook and host its games on its own servers, would you jump with them? One thing that can be guaranteed is that if Zynga leaves, Mark Zuckerberg will be pissed. Don’t worry though, Playfish would be more than happy to satisfy your social network gaming needs.

MobileMe May Become Free
People hate subscribing to stuff. We have phone bills, cable, newspapers, magazines, internet, and lots of other crap. Apple’s MobileMe may not have to be another. Although I personally don’t use push service, I know many an iPhone user who was suckered into buying the service. Most of them don’t even know how to sync their calendars, mail, and other stuff to it. Word on the block is that Apple may soon be offering the service for free.
Sounds solid doesn’t it? Or, maybe they will give it away with a catch. Like upgrade or buy a their soon to be new iPhone and get the service for free. It might even be a promotional thing. We’ll keep you updated as more unfolds.

Project Natal Slated for October
Last time we checked, Microsoft’s solution to the Wii’s motion controls, Project Natal was slated for the holiday season. GamesIndustry.biz reports that Microsoft Saudi marketing manager Syed Bilal Tariq said that Project Natal will launch “somewhere in October” worldwide. Granted, it’s not a solid release date, it’s still something to wet the fanboys who can’t wait for some Minority Report style gesture-based controls.
Launching in October could potentially undercut Sony’s Move controller device. Typically, November kicks off the shopping season, but with Sony readying new peripherals, it will be a dirty war this fall. Better start saving your dollars if you want one.
Finally, to round out the Xbox 360 news, video game analyst Michael Pacter from Wedbush Morgan Securities has repeatedly put his bets on an Xbox 360 slim. This would bode well for the Xbox 360, as a smaller console has done wonder for Sony’s once floundering PS3.

Micro-blogging on Twitter
I know that articles have not been as frequent as I would like. That is because finals are ramping up, and graduation is around the corner. However, I do want to say that my Twitter @raykm00 is updated frequently. Thanks to TwitterBar, impulsive tweets are always a click away.
I’ve been pondering micro-blogging for a long time, and while I don’t think it’s a main avenue for blogging YET, I do think it is addictive and fun sometimes. So I encourage readers to add me if you haven’t, and I’ll try my best to entertain you. Oh, and it’s mostly tech tweets, but hey, that’s what you come here for anyway!
