5 razones para convertirse en un líder digital innovador
For our readers who are using mobile devices or screen readers, here’s the text of the ad:
No matter what you’re into, you can get more out of CompuServe.
You can range widely over a wide list of services that will help you, entertain you, teach you, and challenge ou. Or delve deeply into your favorite topics, learning (or even teaching) more, meeting experts, and making friends with people who share your interests.
CompuServe lets you do everything from keeping in couch with our comunication services, to getting advice from online hardware and software experts. It’s the one computer information service you won’t outgrow.
But you will have a good time trying.
For a low one-time membership fee and $8.95 a month, you can use our most popular services as often as you like: news, sports, weather, shopping, reference materials, our electronic mail service of up to 60 messages a month, and more. Plus there’s a whole universe of other, extended options available at nominal additional charges. Your first month on CompuServe will be free, and we’ll give you a $25 usage credit to explore our extended services.
To buy a CompuServe Membership Kit, see your computer dealer.
We really don’t have much to add to this advertisement, but do have to question the part about CompuServe being an online service you won’t outgrow. Then we did some idle checking, and learned that CompuServe still exists. No, really. They were purchased by powerhouse competitor AOL in 1998, news that I probably missed because I was too busy a GeoCities Community Leader at the time. We can’t figure out where to join CompuServe, but its site is still there, looking like it stepped out of 1998 straight onto the screen of my MacBook. Some of its members really never did outgrow the service since 1994, after all.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that a potential class-action claim was filed against Home Depot yesterday in a U.S. District Court in the Northern District of Georgia.
The plaintiffs allege that Atlanta-based Home Depot failed to protect customers’ credit card data, and that the retailer did not alert customers to the possible breach.
All that’s known at this point is that multiple banks traced fraudulent transactions on customers’ cards and found that these cardholders all shopped at Home Depot.
Following that revelation on Tuesday, Home Depot said it was investigating “unusual activity” and that it was working with authorities. It has not, however, confirmed the breach.
Data reviewed by KrebsOnSecurity.com, which broke the original story (along with numerous other recent hacks), showed a near 100% overlap between the ZIP codes of a batch of stolen credit cards that went on sale on the black market earlier this week and the ZIP codes of Home Depot stores in the U.S.
Only a small number of the approximately 2,200 Home Depot stores in America did not have their ZIP codes turn up in that list. However, the batch of stolen card numbers likely only represents a fraction of the total amount of pilfered data, so it’s possible that all stores were involved in the breach.
The other question that remains unresolved is exactly when this possible hack might have started. Some have reported that it could go back as far as April or May of this year.
If that’s true, this apparent hack has the potential of being significantly larger than the one that hit Target stores for a few weeks during the 2013 holiday shopping season.
Gett’s offering the fare “Any time of day, any route, any Manhattan neighborhood,” with no limit on how many rides you can take, the company announced on its blog.
What’s the catch? There isn’t one, per se, but there are a few things riders will have to keep in mind. For one thing, tips aren’t included, so good customers should be prepared to still tip their drivers the appropriate amount for the ride.
And a major bummer for those in the outer boroughs is that all the rides must take place completely in Manhattan, so no zipping home to Brooklyn or the Bronx on the cheap.
Extra stops are also not included and any ride over 60 minutes will cost more as well, so you can’t just drive around town all day picking up your pals. I know, sad.
One might imagine that if everyone starts cashing in on the deal, wait times could be extended, rendering the offer useless if you need to get somewhere quick. Or perhaps Gett will hire more drivers to cover any uptick in business. We shall see.
Your Netflix mobile app might already be serving up short clips under the heading of “Have five minutes?”
According to GigaOm, a Netflix design manager revealed today that the company is looking at the possibility of having loads of short clips aimed at giving mobile users something that is brief enough to keep their attention and not drain their monthly data bucket.
But before you freak out that Netflix will suddenly be overrun with user-generated video blogs or ice-bucket challenge clips, the idea is apparently more in line with what you find on many network TV websites — short clips of movies and TV shows culled from an Netflix’s existing library.
You may even be a test subject for this cut-down content and don’t even know it. The company has quietly been offering shorter selections on some mobile users’ home screens under the category heading of “Have five minutes?”
The company says it has received “very positive results” so far and could make the short segment category permanent as part of an upcoming mobile relaunch.
Free no more.
“I didn’t want to do an update until the wallet was perfect,” Narcise told Consumerist in an interview on Friday. “I’m a perfectionist.” Plus, producing and selling a product that doesn’t work as promised to backers and other customers leads to refunds and returns, something that startups can’t really afford. The company has apparently spent all of the Kickstarter funds, and then some, on the first production run of wallets.
Linkwallet, as the product and the company are now called, experienced problems with the wallet’s battery life early in production. As the product was originally described, the wallet would connect to your phone using Bluetooth, and the battery would last about two years. Linkwallet CEO Alix Narcisse told Consumerist that the delay has been due to the battery issue and finding the right company to produce the wallets. However, he says, they’re definitely going to ship by the end of 2014 and be available for holiday giving.
We can understand the barriers that exist in bringing new hardware from an idea to production to consumers. Narcisse himself is a veteran of a failed attempt to develop and bring a super-thin Android tablet, the OGT Eros, to market.
Most people have dealt with or know someone who has dealt with contractors building, repairing, or renovating a house. Imagine the time and cost overruns that typically happen in that case. Then imagine that you’re having the contractor make, say, ten thousand houses for you, and you and the contractor are in drastically different time zones and don’t speak the same language. Having hardware made in China can be something like that.
Kickstarter has reminded us for two years now that the site is not a store. It’s a process to back projects that you want to support and bring them to life, and not a mall. Receiving stuff is a perk, not the point. For example, I recently backed a campaign to send a French bulldog to meet children across the country with craniofacial issues. I sent the campaign $15, and I got…a sticker. That’s not a commercial transaction; that’s the modern equivalent of an NPR tote bag.
So, is Linkwallet on the up and up? We can’t say for sure. No one will know for sure until customers have working wallets in their hands. We’ll keep track of the situation, and the backers will certainly let us know when that happens.

Earlier this week, a photo emerged across the wide plains of the Internet, purportedly of a billboard in Chicago that contained the crude reference to a man’s genitalia.
But it was a Photoshopped job, a company spokesperson said, according to RedEye Chicago. The real billboard actually reads, “cover your home in a click.”
Well, that does make a lot more sense.
The spokesman says that all the billboards in question were taken down on July 24 anyway, because they could’ve been read in error from a distance. He says that the d**k pic was “clearly photoshopped.”
RedEye says the Instagram user who posted the original photo admitted that it was something he’d made as a joke — he didn’t even notice the thing had gone viral.
“My initial reaction was to be upset for not receiving credit, but then I realized that it was most likely not a malicious or plagiaristic act,” he explained.
And for those media outlets who thought it was real, well that’s ridiculous, he says, as he was surprised they reported on it.
“After you Photoshop something and have it end up [in the media], the slightest trust that you still had in the media is now lost,” he said.
