Android Central posted this picture showing that AT&T will be increasing it’s early iPhone upgrades by $50. Just by looking at the charts, the 8GB iPhone 3GS went from $249 to $299, while the 16GB iPhone 4 went from $399 to $449, and the 32GB iPhone 4 went from $499 to $549. AT&T will also be increasing the prices of feature phones by $20 and regular smart phones by $50.

What do you think of AT&T’s move to increasing these prices? Obviously, the standard 2-year contract prices won’t be touched… other than decreasing prices.

Got Moola?http://techcores.com/2010/09/got-moola/ http://techcores.com/2010/09/got-moola/#comments Wed, 15 Sep 2010 20:38:14 +0000 Jason Spriggs http://techcores.com/?p=5999 Moola, money, cash, are all words that mean currency. Now most of us want money, but you have to work for it. And for most people Work≠Fun, but what if there was a way to quickly earn “fun money”?

I’ve recently learned about a website called Moola that allows users to make money just by completing offers and games! How fun is that! Their main motto is that $0.01 doubled 30 times equals over 10 Million Dollars. I will be splitting this review into 3 parts, How To Signup, How To Win, and How To Collect, so please enjoy!

How To Signup

To signup with Moola you must be 13 or over and have an email. First go to this link and enter in your email and fill out the Confirmation Code. Once done with that, just click submit and check your email for a message from Moola. Then fill out the registration form and bob’s your uncle, your ready to win!

How To Win

To win on Moola there are a two major options, offers and games. The games range from Hi/Lo (Card Game) to Sports Betting! Just choose a game and go!

How To Collect

Moola allows its users to either get a check with their money, do a PayPal transfer, or get a prepaid debit card from them.

Microsoft Doesn’t Like Googlehttp://techcores.com/2009/11/microsoft-doesnt-like-google/ http://techcores.com/2009/11/microsoft-doesnt-like-google/#comments Tue, 24 Nov 2009 01:12:39 +0000 Taylor Jasko http://techcores.com/?p=745

Bing Today

Bing Today

Microsoft, I’ve had it with all of your “business strategies”. All of your strategic plans always end up taking you up to the dump. First you try to get people to host a Windows 7 party at their own house while bribing them for a free copy of “signature edition” Windows 7. You’ve came too far with this one; you really have.

Microsoft has approached a company called News Corp to basically pay them to make Google not index their site. Yes, Microsoft has the money to do things like this, but it doesn’t mean they should. If you ask me, this is so wrong by Microsoft; it does play well with their previous advertising skills though.

I know, it sounds terrible, but again, this is Microsoft we’re dealing with, and they’ll do anything to make their services and software more popular. I thought about using Bing, to be honest, and now, I’m not even going to use any of Microsoft’s search engines again. I found Google through the old MSN search engine, and I will stick with Google until something comes out that’s even better.

If Microsoft keeps this up, you might just be practically forced to use Bing just because you cannot get the same content that’s being deleiverd on Google. They might even go so far that in order to find LinkedIn profiles, Facebook profiles, and maybe even your UStream profile, you need to use Bing to find them.

If you ask me, this will most likely cause more users to stop using Bing and go back to Google or another futuristic search engine like Collecta.

What do you think about Microsoft doing this? I would love to get your thoughts in the comments below.

Appswell – Get paid for your ideas!http://techcores.com/2009/10/appswell-get-paid-for-your-ideas/ http://techcores.com/2009/10/appswell-get-paid-for-your-ideas/#comments Wed, 14 Oct 2009 23:14:44 +0000 Taylor Jasko http://wordpress.techcores.com/?p=7 AppsWell

Appswell has made it possible for users to come up with a concept application for the iPhone / iPod touch and get paid for it. A lot of people have great ideas for some applications that users may want. As of a little while ago, it was not possible for users to submit their application ideas to a single database. But Appswell wanted to go beyond, and create an application that allows that capability.

    Popular Ideas

    Appswell is a program that will allow you to submit your application idea to the developers, and you’re also able to vote on other users ideas. If an idea is really unique, you may see you’re idea finalized into a real product. Yes, you can always go to one of your favorite developers and send them one of your requests, but most of the time you don’t get anything out of it. With Appswell, if your idea is turned into a program, you can be making big bucks! If they choose your app idea, Appswell will award you with a $1,000 cash prize and you also get 10% revenue from all the income of the application. This is an easy way for people who are not great developers, but who are great with coming up with unique ideas. I would love to see more companies do something like this.

    I really think Appswell has something going here. If they’re able to get a lot of user suggestions, Appswell and the person who came up with the idea will both benefit from the application. This is a win-win situation; I would for sure not miss out on something as easy as sending in your ideas!

    Expect a full review soon!
