Sad news for President-elect Barack Obama. The BlackBerry-addict who is often photographed with his trusty Curve on his belt and is always checking his BB while en route, will soon be bidding his favorite gadget farewell due to email security concerns. According to The New York Times, Obama has already started slowing down communication to friends and family from his personal email account; even though he hopes to be the first American president to have a laptop on his desk in the Oval Office.
This isn't the first time a new president has had to say good-bye to personal email accounts. Before George W. Bush was inaugurated, he had to send this message, from his personal email address G94B@aol.com, to his close contacts:
Since I do not want my private conversations looked at by those out to embarrass, the only course of action is not to correspond in cyberspace. This saddens me. I have enjoyed conversing with each of you.
As for Obama, it's still being decided whether or not he can keep using email, which is sad news in itself, but the hardest part has got to be seeing his BlackBerry go bye-bye. Hey, I guess it's better to be safe than sorry.

After hearing about the umpteenth person to lose their job or otherwise get in trouble because they posted something on Facebook, the message is clear: It's not Facebook, you may just be oversharing.
Whether it's the wrong time or the fact that you're flaunting an event that you lied about being at to someone, you are in control over whether you endure the consequences for it — from Facebook anyway. Below, a few common sense guidelines.
- Don't go on Facebook drunk.
- Don't post photos from events someone may not have known you attended or hosted.
- Don't post photos of yourself intoxicated.
- Privatize your Facebook account.
- Be judicious about which people you will add as friends, and then constantly edit said list.

I freaked out a little bit when I saw that my favorite TV lady, Liz Lemon,
got an iPhone this season (especially last week's totally realistic revelations of her not knowing how to decline a call or get past her password), but Apple products on
30 Rock are nothing new. Peep the slideshow to see the other places macs and iPhones have popped up!
