If you’re using a Google Profile - which describes anyone using the new Google+ social network - Google’s issuing an ultimatum: If you don’t make your profile public by July 31st, Google will delete it.
In other words, if you’ve been keeping your Google Profile private for the sake of social media invisibility, well - you can’t. Google is requiring that Google+ users be able to at least see that you exist on the network when doing searches. Oddly enough, Facebook still allows users to pull a more complete disappearing actthrough a judicious use of privacy settings.
As Searchengineland points out, though, Google Profiles do still have the option to avoid Google search indexing. But anyone within Google+ can still track you down thanks to this change.
It’s obviously part of a play to help the fledgling Google+ Project get off the ground - more public Google Profiles searchable means more connections made means more active users. What’s more is that I don’t think most people will even notice the change.

How to try to get a Google+ account
Sorry folks, I don’t have any Google+ account invites to give away. I wish I did. Google+ is great. But, there are some ways that appear to help you move up the Google+ queue.
Before talking about that though you should know that there’s already spam out there that masquerades as Google+ invites. Sophos, the anti-virus company, reports that “spammers are sending out bogus Google+ invitations that in reality point to online pharmacies.” I am so not surprised.
So, if you get an e-mail note telling you that you’ve got a brand, spanking new Google+ account, check the URL for that link before clicking on it. If it’s not going to “https://plus.google.com/,” or a similar address, don’t click on it. You can get your Viagra from a local drug store a whole lot more safely.
Here’s the real deal. Yes, Google is still letting people into Google+. But, it’s so doing very slowly . To even have a shot at a Google+ account, the first thing you need to do is to set up a Google Profile. The only information that must be on your profile is your name and gender. This account needs to be made public.
Google, by the by, isn’t going to let you have private Google Profiles for much longer anyway. Come July 31st, Google will delete all private Google Profiles.
Next, have a friend who’s already on Google+. Have them add you to one of their circles via the Circle find and invite page.
Another way of doing this is to just have them create a circle just for invitations. From there, have them click to add a new person to this circle and enter your e-mail address as that person. No matter which method you use, then, have them enter an update, any update, to their Stream and select the circle you’ve been added to as the one to share their update with.
If all goes well you should then get an email inviting you to join. Alas, that may or may not be all you need to get in. The link in the message you get may send you a page saying, in effect, that you still can’t get an account because of the demand. Don’t sweat it. You’re still in line for a Google+ account. Give that link another click ever six or seven hours, and eventually you should get in.

iPad 3 Blue Mockup Sure Looks Sexy With a 3D Display
Who’d have thought that the iPad 3 would have a 3D display? And what about that Apple A6 quad core processor? These are all speculations, met under the shell of the following mockup: the blue iPad 3. I have no idea who created it, so please step up and claim your creation!
As far as this model is concerned, this design adopts the recent iPhone 5 speculations, so we’re dealing with an iPad with edge to edge display and lacking a Home button. Instead, we get 3D apps, a very thin chassis and supposedly an AMOLED screen. Let’s see Samsung supplying those after the conflict with Apple…
Will this iPad 3D come this Fall? I wouldn’t mind seeing it on the market in March 2012 as well, but who knows what the Cupertino giant lead by Steve Jobs is up to…

iPhone 5 Design Makes the Thinnest Smartphone Ever, at 4mm in Thickness
Right now the thinnest smartphone in the world is a model made by NEC, if I’m not mistaking, but the iPhone 5 concept below takes away the crown, thanks to its slim waistline. This model, made by Alternative Industries measures a mere 4mm in thickness and it looks impressive.
The handset incorporates an edge to edge screen, that actually eliminates the upper and lower edges as well. This iPhone concept integrates the SIM into the device and I’m guessing that we’re dealing with a 4 inch smartphone here, but it’s only speculation right now. With a waistline so thin, should we fear that this phone can break easily?

Nokia N800 Series Device Proposal Design Looks Stunning… Would Kill With MeeGo!
First of all, this is a Nokia N800 series unit from 2008, so it’s all the more amazing nowadays. This concept device was created by designer Jm.Jo that you can find at the address ultrajjo@hotmail.com. He created the project for Nokia and as you can see we’re dealing with a smartphone that adopts the QWERTY slider form factor.
There’s also a tilt hinge mechanism on board, as well as jog stick for games and video call support, possibly thanks to a front camera. This model also has an interesting feature, as it generates a hologram effect on the plastic part of the case through injection molding, that makes the entire thing much cooler and appealing to youngsters.
Hologram patterning can be changed and inscriptions/decorations can appear where you want them to. Considering the popularity of the Nokia N950 model, strictly designed for developers, could it be based on this concept?

Nokia W10 Prototype Runs Windows Phone 7.5, Packs a 15MP camera
We’ve seen the Nokia X10 Symbian Anna prototype here and now we have the same device, but with a different OS. Nokia W10 runs Windows Phone 7.5, supports quad band connectivity and 4G LTE. It’s got quad stereo speakers and a Super AMOLED Plus display with a 4.5 inch diagonal and a 1280 x 720 pixel resolution.
TV out is also on board via HDMI, as well as a 15MP camera with Carl Zeiss optics, autofocus, Dual Xenon flash and full HD 1080p video capture at 30 fps. There’s also a front 5MP camera with Xenon flash and face detection. The CPU on the Nokia W10 is a quad-core 2GHz unit, more than enough to run Windows Phone, to be honest.
32GB of storage, 2GB of ROM and 2GB of RAM are the memory on this device, plus a microSD slot with support for up to 64GB of storage. Would you prefer to use this device with Windows Phone 7.5 on board or a future version of Symbian Anna/Belle?

PlayStation 4 Design is Both Eco-Friendly and Smart
The PlayStation 4. This device is very eco-friendly, as it uses up 0 watts in standby mode and comes with an ECO Restart function, that allows you save the game and then turn off the console for a quick later play without extra load.
This PlayStation 4 concept is made of 60% recycled materials and features a magnesium alloy and carbon, that makes the device very light (2.1 KG). Its total power usage is about 90 watts, that’s very reasonable. The Sony PS4 you see here is compatible with the PS Vita, that you can use to remote control the new desktop console and browse the Internet or play games from the distance.
This model is also compatible with the Sony S1 and S2 tablets, in case you’re wondering. Its specifications are superb and include a 1.5TB HDD, full 3D 4K2K compatibility, DLNA, 3D Blu-ray support, USB 3.0 connectivity, Bravia Sync, Qriocity, Cloud Saving and much more. There will also be a special Play 4 controller with a light sensor and an option to adjust the rigidity of the analog sticks. Overall this is a beautiful product, that I hope someday will become reality.
