So, a member of iPhone Antidote happened to be out of the country when the Giants won the World Series (sucks to be him). He’s a HUGE giants fan and whilst he was able to work it out to watch the game, with some beers in hand, once the Giants had won he was itching to be back in San Francisco to enjoy the party afterwards.
Now, that wasn’t going to happen, because they don’t make planes that fast (yet) BUT he was able to get the next best thing, watching the party from afar, and that was through a free online social media live streaming video App called Stringwire.
On Stringwire, there was a girl live-streaming video from her phone, following the party throughout San Francisco, interacting with some people, purely watching others, and it was pretty great.
It’s is a new service from NBCUniversal Media which allows you to “Stream in your world real-time with live video from anywhere to audiences everywhere”. You can use it to stream breaking news (slightly controversial) or just what happens in your living room OR you can watch what other people are streaming, be it their sick surf break or the Giants World Series Win after party in downtown San Fransisco.
You can get it free from the app store! Once you have created an account in the App, you can also log in online here.
Go forth and STREAM!
Ladies! Who wants to talk about periods?
*Crickets*
Um, well doctors and parents should probably want to talk about them we guess? But otherwise, it’s kind of a pain in the womb that we live with and that’s that. But is it? We’re aware that a lot of girls haven’t had the opportunity to understand or learn properly about their cycle until well into womanhood and sometimes beyond and that affects their lives in ways they probably haven’t thought about. A lot of women will also not truly understand their period cycle and how it works when it comes to fertility- something that’s not a huge concern, UNTIL IT IS!
Welcome, then, the period tracker app, Clue. A beautifully designed app that will track your cycle initially using an algorithm and worldwide data before intuitively learning your unique personal data based on your entries relating to your period length and flow, pain, mood swings, PMS, and sexual activity.
The app will then alert you as to when and what to expect of all of the above, becoming more accurate the more you use it, as well as alerting you to fertility windows. It also includes education materials relating to your period including in-depth explanations of what exactly is going on in your body, medical terminology definitions, what’s considered normal, etc.
Free from the App store, Clue is an excellent tool for all the ladies, from beginners up through all the roles we play in life as women. Just don’t think about how many cycles that is, because that’s just insane. You insane person.

This is one we’re pretty excited about! Even though it’s an app that isn’t here yet, will only affect a specific type of person and at the beginning will only be in one particular location, it’s just so cool we had to share it with you guys.
Who here like’s football? We do! We do! And, we’re lucky enough to be fans of the 49er’s… cos, stay with me, their new Levi’s stadium in Santa Clara will be fully tech equipped to enhance the experience of the fans ( and opposing teams fans too we guess). Don’t forget this is the stadium that will host Superbowl 50 in 2016 OHMYGODSOEXCITING.
It has been announced that come the 2014 season, the stadium will have a high speed mobile infrastructure so you can post your Facebook fanpics and twitter your hearts out all you want without the signal being blocked.
So, that’s pretty cool, right?
Here comes the app. An app specific to Levi’s 49er’s stadium will be released that not only let’s you stream close-up game highlights and see stats relevant to the match you’re watching, but, and here’s the kicker- the app will let fans check the shortest food, beer and toilet lines in the stadium.
Whaaaaaat?
No more waiting for that delicious Hot Dog, or that sweet sweet beer, and that inevitable crossed legged dance in the toilet line can be avoided altogether!
Sweet Jeebus that sounds nice.
We’ll for sure be writing a detailed review of this app next year.
The things we do for you guys, honestly.
( Go 49er’s! )
