The news of Osama Bin Laden’s death was tweeted the most number of times in the history of the social networking site and it also generated the biggest sustained tweet rates ever. There are updated statistics updated by Twitter on its platform and it say that about 4,000 tweets were sent per second during beginning and end of President Obama’s speech. Now it is said that the real number of tweets were about 25% more. Just before speech of Obama, there is about 5,106 tweets generated per second and it was the highest number of tweets at night. When he finished the speech, there were about 5,008 tweets sent per second. Twitter says that from 10:45 to 2.20 am ET, there was an average of 3,000 tweets every second. This equates to astronomical 27,900,000 tweets in a little over two and half hours. Between 10:45 and 12:30 ET, there were 3,440 tweets every second and during the peak time, Twitter had an average of about 12,384,000 tweets every hour.

This shows that the death of Osama Bin Laden was a momentous occasion. This event has taken over 3,283 tweets every second when Japan won against Denmark in the World Cup and also tweets of 4,064 every second during the final moments of Super Bowl this year. But the record of most number of tweets in the same second is still at 6,939 when Japanese people wished New Year to each other. Here is the graph released by Twitter.

Latest set of rumors lurking around on the Internet say that Apple is rolling out new iMacs and it will be having the latest Core i5 or i7 processors inside. It is also said that the new computers will sport the new Thunderbolt processor. These new set of iMac might be out by May 3, Tuesday and Apple will be announcing them shortly before bringing them in the market for sale. Apple has been a bit late with the update for iMac. First PCs having the new processors were out in January 2011, and Apple shipped their MacBooks which had the Sandy Bridge architecture shortly. Apple hasn’t upgraded their iMac line up; it has been running on older hardware since June last year. Apple might be late to bring out iMacs having the new processor but in a way, it is lucky too. Intel said in January that there was a flaw in the architecture of these new processors and shipments  [...]

Skullcandy Roc Nation Aviator Headphones looks really stylish and it is made for the younger audience. It has a very sophisticated look and the sound design too is pretty detailed. However, this set is a bit light on bass and might not satisfy people how are looking for a thumping sound. I would still recommend buying this pair looking at the unique thematic design and exceptional clarity in music. For testing the Skullcandy Roc Nation Aviator Headphones, I used it over a week and didn’t have any complaints about the shape and fit of this set. Ear protectors are made of plush leather and they make a loose seal to let in ambient noise and still keep the music between the ears through adequate sound isolation. These headphones are quite light courtesy of the stainless steel accents and you get a lot of room inside the big pyramidal shaped earcups for accommodating different ear sizes. A lot of headphones from

This is a piece of good new for the Android users who don’t like paying for any goodies. Distimo, a mobile analytics group from Netherlands says that now there are more free apps available for Android, the Google mobile OS as compared to the iPhone. It is 13,4342 vs 121,845. There are some things that you have to consider here. When the free iPad apps are included too, the number of free iOS apps increases to 132,239. Also, there are rigorous processes of vetting of Apple and this might have played a role in its slippage. The report does not highlight things like repetition, legality or even the to total number of that are dedicated to making the noises of fart. The number of premium Apple apps is more – it is 333,124 vs 206,143. The rapid growth of Android and the relative stagnation of iOS could let Google take up the top spot in a time of five months. Android apps could take over the number of iPad and iPhone apps combined. Apple iPhone 5  [...]

Minebea Cool Leaf Keyboard is a touch screen keyboard and you will like it if you love typing on touchscreen. The keyboard is a big touchscreen but it doesn’t bring any kind of versatility like format (which I saw on Razer laptop keyboard). For example, you cannot substitute the number pad with video window or make your own keyboard layout for different tasks or even display Photoshop tool palettes. I am hoping that Minebea explores some kind of versatility through this keyboard which already has multitouch capabilities. If you are touch typist, you will be disappointed because the keys don’t give you any feel while typing. However, if you like to keep your gadgets clean, this keyboard is a must buy for you because it is very easy to clean up. The surface is very shiny and the manufacturer has included a cleaning cloth which means that it must attract a lot of fingerprints easily. This keyboard will be released on May 13th in Japan and the USB  [...]

For testing, I played ‘Avatar’ Blu-ray version on the Dell UltraSharp U3011. The blacks were deep and the color too was accurate. Content looked great on a 30 inch screen. The faces were natural looking and there weren’t any egregious color tint problems. For game tests, I played StarCraft II or SCII; it is my new tool for judging the color quality and the vibrancy in games. I played it at full resolution of 2,560x1,600 and with such high quality, it is difficult for any game to look bad. The pictures were indeed stunning on the monitor. Take a look at the quality of this monitor and you will never look at a 24 incher again. The vibrancy and colors on the Dell UltraSharp U3011 are the best ever. Everything looked really detailed and it popped up from the display. There are plenty of options for color calibration and display presets and you can tweak the output in a lot of ways. The refresh rate of this monitor is seven milliseconds  [...]

Nintendo’s successor to the Wii is going to come in to the market in 2012. Official channels have refused to give any other details about the new gaming console. But there have been rumors going around on the Web about everything right from the price of the console to the hardware inside. A lot of people say that there is a need for better hardware inside the console. The current console is too weak and doesn’t have HD functionality. There is not even one gigabyte of flash space inside. HDTVs are more popular now as compared to what they were in 2006 and it has become a pre-requisite of every gamer now. Nintendo has always been putting codename on their console products. Gamecube was called ‘Project Dolphin’ till it came out in the market and Nintendo Wii was dubbed as ‘Project Revolution’. Rumors say that the name of the new console is ‘Project Cafe’. Of course, this is not the original name. The final name is likely to be ‘Stream’ but the manufacturer hasn’t made  [...]

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T99 is a good looking camera having an excellent feature set. But the small land slippery body might come in the way of comfortable shooting and while testing, I found that the touch screen interface was a bit laggy. That said, Sony has packed in a lot of features here in an ultracompact chassis and I would recommend you to buy this camera only if you want a touch screen. If you can do without touch screen interface, there are better options available. Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T99 photos look soft and they lack in fine detail when you view it at full size except for the ones that are taken in macro. A camera having 14 megapixel resolution should have good room for cutting down the images. If you like cropping a lot of subjects and then want to print 13x19 photos, I would recommend you to look elsewhere. There are other cameras in the sub $250 category. The overall photo quality on the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T99 was brought  [...]

Long time ago, recording videos was something that was limited only to expensive and big camcorders but now you can capture video content on smartphones, iPod Touch or any digital camera. But there is a big difference in quality between the professional level equipment and these handy devices and there is a price difference too. Sony Bloggie Touch MHS-TS20 is pocket camcorder having eight gigabytes of storage space and the price of this gadget is $199.99. It is a good middle ground device, the video quality is good, they are easy to carry around and the price too is not really high. This category of camcorders is expanding constantly but Bloggie is unique amongst them due to the great video quality at different resolutions. It also has a photo shooter and a touch screen display. The options inside will certainly satisfy most of the users. I will recommend this gadget if you are looking for an inexpensive mini camcorder. Perhaps,  [...]
