Google+ that was introduced with much fanfare by the search engine giant Google to the world as a substitute for social networking leader Facebook was last reported as tapering off after initial burst and enthusiasm shown by people to join it. Google+ reached 10 million mark in just two weeks but then took nearly three months to reach 40 million users, a statistics that made experts doubtful of its success and some even predicted the burst of the bubble called Google+. The social networking attempt by Google has already crossed 60 million mark, and if we go by the prediction of Paul Allen, founder of Ancestry.com, there is every chance that by the end of 2012, Google+ may have more than 400 million users.

Paul is unable to pinpoint the reason and says that it could be endorsement by celebrities, holidays (Christmas and New Year), or just word of mouth or a combination of all three factors. The fact is that the popularity of Google+ is increasing day by day and it is adding nearly 6,25,000 members every day. This rate means around 300 million users by the end of the year but there could be acceleration meaning more than 400 million users by 2012 end.

We all love Dropbox for the simplicity and convenience it brings to life, don’t we? It is a cloud storage app that allows us to share all our digital media files and other files across various computers that we use without the need to carry data along with us. It is a free service that makes storing your files an easy job and you also retrieve it from anywhere. Dropbox is working on a brand new idea that, once implemented, will allow; rather enable Dropbox to import photos and videos from your digital camera without you having to manually upload them to this cloud storage app. You will just connect your digital camera to your computer and Dropbox will slurp all photos and videos from it. These files will then go to various Dropbox servers from where they can be accessed by all computers that are connected with this app.

There are already dissent voices being heard. There are some people who say that they click far too many photos and do not want all of these photos to be uploaded as they will consume the entire space that is allotted to them by Dropbox. In any case, it sure is a great idea as it secures some family photos that otherwise either get deleted or are hard to retrieve at the right moment.

Apple will send the “golden master” of its upcoming iOS mobile operating system to its iPhone and iPod Touch manufacturing partners sometime in late September, according to the Apple-centric blogMacRumors.

The blog is drawing its information from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who apparently threw some cold water on reports of an overhauled iPhone in the works. “His sources point to the ‘N94’ iPhone that has been popularly referred to as the ‘iPhone 4S’ as the sole new iPhone model set to ship,” read the Sept. 12 posting, “with Apple planning for 30 million units through the end of the year.”

If you find yourself attached to your mobile for most of the day, then you probably don’t want to spend a huge amount on your land line. Although a free land line might be hard to come by, it doesn’t mean that you can’t get free calls and other goodies when you opt for a budget landline over a more costly package.

There are some deals that you’ll find are available exclusively online. You won’t get them anywhere else, so hunting around on the internet is a great idea. The Primus Home Phone Saver is good because there is no package cost and the monthly line rental is only £7.99 a month. It also includes weekend and evening calls, so this is a great option if you just want something very basic and practical.

If you’re a loyal Orange mobile customer then you could choose from one of their affordable broadband and home phone packages. Their starter package includes up to 20Mb broadband, unlimited monthly download limit, a free wireless router, and unlimited evening and weekend calls. You could save money if you’re already an Orange mobile customer as well, so it’s worth checking out.

Did you know that good ol’ Yorkshire offer broadband now? Well you do now. Plusnet are proud of their Yorkshire roots and they’re proud of their broadband and phone services too. They’re an all round cheap option to go for, and their call centres are based in Yorkshire. At the moment you get your first 4 months free, and after that you just pay £6.49 a month.

Don’t get caught out with connections fees and line rental costs. It can be tempting to change your phone line package before the end of the contract, but weigh up your options first otherwise you might end up paying far more than you want to overall.
