New Application Taxulator for iPhone

There are a lot of calculator apps on the App Store for free and purchase . I stopped counting after 30 pages, which is about 900 apps. One that I decided to try was Heuristic Media’s Taxulator.

Taxulator is a very simple app that calculates the sales tax on a given price for the goods you are purchasing. You simply go to the settings page, enter the amount for the tax and you’re setup.

Taxulator also supports calculating two taxes and you can even tell the app to compound the tax amounts.

Taxulator turned out to be quite a learning experience for my kids, who are at the age of getting jobs and spending their own money on things. Showing them that a $50 Xbox game doesn’t really cost $50 was an enlightening and humorous time.

If you are going to purchase an item that doesn’t require both taxes, you can turn it off on the front panel, without having to go back into the settings.

The app has another interesting use that I hadn’t considered. It can also extract the tax from a given dollar amount. So, if you sell products independently and need to figure out how much tax to pay, you just put in the sale amount and tap the extract button. Very handy.

Apple And Google Agreed Not To Poach Workers

While Google CEO Eric Schmidt was on Apple’s board of directors, the two companies had an agreement not to hire away each other’s workers, a former Google employee with knowledge of such matters has told us. We have since confirmed this with other ex-Googlers. This was not a written agreement, and was considered non-official, but it was well-known and followed within the recruitment division of Google, we’re told.


This news follows a report by The Washington Post in early June that the Justice Department was looking into this very issue. That report cited sources close to the investigation stating that the government was looking for possible antitrust violations among several tech companies, including Google and Apple, with regard to their hiring policies. But that report didn’t say whether or not it was actually taking place. According to our sources, it is.

New Facebook application for iPhone “almost done”

One Most popular Application people needs on iphone, FACEBOOK,,,, lots of users waiting the next version of this application,, and now wait almost over.

“The app is pretty much done – we’re just working on translating it into a bunch of languages,” Facebook developer Joe Hewitt wrote tonight on Twitter.

iphoneshot2That means that shortly, we’ll have access to the much-improved app which is scheduled to have features such as a News Feed that is more like the one on Facebook’s site, the ability to “like” items and a new customizable home screen. More importantly, it will also have video support for the iPhone 3GS, something which Hewitt threw-in at the last second, unexpectedly. And perhaps best of all, the app will have the ability to manage events, finally.

But don’t get too worked up just yet. We asked Hewitt if “pretty much done” meant next week perhaps. His response: “Can’t be sure – translating could take a while. I’ve been avoiding predicting an actual release date“. And of course even when the app is done, Facebook still has to submit it for approval in the App Store, and as we all know, that can be a crapshoot. We could see it next week, we could see it 6 months from now. Though, Apple does seem to do a pretty good job pushing important apps like this one through quickly. Funny how that works, isn’t it?

Facebook is also finally working on an Android app. That should drop any day now.

Now 911 call center now accepting texts from iphone in any emergency

Now these days callers and other people can now text for help request for fire and some thing else,,,,to police or ambulance,,, to the emergency call center in Black Hawk County, Unlike voice calls, however, the 911 operator can’t get your location from a text message, meaning that the caller must says that the zip code and city,,, and exect location on phone,, and many time he is confused about all things,, and now i think is better service for people.

Currently, only wireless subscribers using this facility affiliated with T-Mobile. can use the service. Other future upgrades include the ability to accept video and picture messages. All the operators ask is that you refrain from sending them those silly chain text messages –over all this is good for every one.

Flickr for iPhone, Its Alive but still Web-based

While at one side web companies are rushing to convert their iPhone-optimized websites into native iPhone apps, Flickr on the other hand just doesn’t seem to care at all about the iPhone hype.

Flickr remains the only popular social network to not have a native iPhone app whereas other social networks like Facebook, MySpace are already on the lead.

flickr-iphone

Recently Flickr redesigned the mobile version of its website to provide better UI for the iPhone users.

Users can point Safari to flickr on their iPhone and enjoy the new ajax-based interface to explore new and recently uploaded photos from their contacts.

The only downside is that there is no slideshow capability and you can’t directly upload photos to your account through the iPhone. Though the image search and navigation functionality makes Flickr another interesting stop for all iPhone users.

Users can even comment on photos of their contacts and view a full-screen version of photos by tapping on the thumbnails. This makes Flickr more fun and user-friendly for the iPhone fans.

Lets hope Flickr releases a native app for the iPhone soon and adds functionality to upload photos directly from iPhone photo gallery just like the Facebook app.
