Netflix Social: Watch Movies With a Little Help From Your Friends

What would you do if you ran out of movies and TV shows to watch?

What would you do if you ran out of movies and TV shows to watch? Netflix is going to try to get you by with a little help from your friends. The online streaming and DVD rental service introduced Netflix Social today, a feature that lets users connect a Facebook account to see (or snoop) their friends' viewing history.

Netflix Social could definitely come in handy — but only if you and your friends have the same taste in TV. If the political thriller House of Cards is getting rave reviews from everyone in your network, it's probably time for you to jump on the bandwagon.

But before you connect and agree to share, get to know Netflix Social's new friendly features.

31 Days of Spring Cleaning: Clean Your Laptop

Kitty is not impressed with the state of your laptop.

Kitty is not impressed with the state of your laptop. We eat, work, and sometimes even sleep within a hand's reach of our laptops, and these lifelines to entertainment and Internet goodness can get pretty dirty. To keep your computer in beautiful condition, make a habit of cleaning it once a week. Use these tips to ensure your laptop looks as fresh as the day you unboxed it.

  • Use kosher cleaning products — By kosher, I mean LCD-approved! You can't use just any old household cleaner to spruce up your delicate laptop screen and body — stay away from any all-purpose household cleaners and anything containing acetone, ammonia, or alcohol, which will strip away your LCD's protective coating. Use a soft cloth (like a microfiber) to wipe down your monitor and screen, steering clear of paper or bath towels, which will cause scratching. If a dry wipe-down won't cut it, try using distilled water or a 50/50 mixture of white vinegar and distilled water, and use light, rapid circular movements to help reduce streaking.
  • Blast away — Grab a can of condensed air and blast out the dirt, grime, and crumbs hiding between keyboard keys. Use a toothbrush to sweep away all the findings.
  • Mouse time — Pair your laptop with an external mouse? Clean it with a basic white piece of paper. Slowly drag the mouse from the top of the piece of paper to the bottom. Repeat sideways if any dirt still appears on paper. The paper should instantly move the dirt away from the pads on the bottom of the mouse!
  • Recycle properly — If you're cleaning the laptop to upgrade to a newer and sexier model, make sure you're breaking it off with your old computer the right way. Suss out recycling centers in your area, resell it, donate it, or just drop it off at Best Buy for fast and easy recycling. In any case, be sure to wipe your hard drive of any personal information and do a factory reset to make sure you're clear.

Thanks to Greek designer Mary Katrantzou, currency, couture, and cases have become one, and our gadgets couldn't be happier. Just in time for Spring, Katrantzou is releasing a line of fresh accessories, all doting on the "vintage" patterns of outdated currencies like the Maltese lira and deutsche mark.

Her new collection of cases is more than money, too; whimsical patterns inspired by the Mediterranean and old postage stamps offer techies a well-traveled touch.
