Posted: 11 Aug 2010 06:13 PM PDT

Google has announced a new comment spam filtering technique for the most popular blogging platform Blogger. The new system offers two things one is advanced spam filtering and the other  is to view all the comments in one place.

The conventional spam filtering options like captcha, login, manual moderation etc are limiting the real-time interactive behavior of a blog. Now Google has integrated their most powerful Gmail spam filtering technique in blogger also. You can see the new "Comments" tab in the blogger dashboard. The comment tab has three sub tabs also Published, Awaiting moderation and Spam.

All your published comments will be available in the "inbox" (Comments | Published). This  facilitates easy navigation through the comments. Spam folder shows the spammed comments. You can mark a comment as spam or vice versa. Comments in Spam folder are not visible in the blog. Comments awaiting moderation will be queued in the “awaiting moderation” folder. This spam filtering option is applicable for new comments only.

Disable captcha and remove comment moderation in your blog. See how powerful the new system. This new feature is still in a gradual rolling out stage, you may not be able to see the "comment" tab in your dash board, be patient and wait. Within few days it will become available for all users.


Dish Network Offers Free iPad Functionality to Customers

Posted: 11 Aug 2010 12:26 PM PDT

When the iPad launched a few months back, there was an explosion of applications hitting the marketplace. Large companies and news outlets announced their apps long before consumers could even get their hand on an iPad. Dish network seems to now be setting it’s sights on the Apple product in an attempt to beat out it’s competitors by catering to iPad owners.

Back in August Dish released an application that would effectively let customers remote control their set-top box from their iPad. The free iPad app offers the ability to browse television shows, schedule recordings onto DVR, remove existing shows and much more. If you have a compatible TV, the application can also work as a fully functioning remote controller, allowing you to change the channel, browse the program guide and just about anything else a traditional control would be able to do.

We are now hearing that Dish will allow streaming content to your iPad, iPhone, Blackberry or Android phone for free. There is a catch though, the functionality will require a SlingBox. SlingBox offers streaming Television by taking any Set-top Box or TV and streaming it via Wifi. Users will download the Slingbox application to their mobile device and can then see what the Dish box is seeing.
