The next time you sign into Facebook, don't be surprised if things look a bit, shall I say "different." Not only will your profile pic now be on the right side of the page, but pictures, newsfeeds, and apps look much cleaner and content is easier to view in general.
If you have never thought to yourself, I can't wait until the day I send someone a note that says, "This message will self-destruct in 30 seconds," then you should both check yourself and have that thought now.
Privnote was devised for the spy in you, or at the very least, the person in you who has a really juicy secret on their hands that they do not want to be traced back.
Simply go to Privnote's site and type in your super secret message, and they'll give you a link to send to your recipient. Once they read it, poof, it's gone, and it can't be accessed again. Stealth.
French fashionistas and magazine editors alike agree: The key to a chic wardrobe is lots and lots of black. If you are one of these discerning aesthetes or simply prefer the glossy dark black iPhone over the white, then today I've got my black accessories (check out the white iPhone fashion here) — obviously markedly easier to find, but still, there's a lot to edit through, so check out my picks for the lucky lot who got black iPhone 3Gs!
You're probably sick of hearing about apps apps and more apps, but how can I possibly not share an app with you that will help you find prices of products locally and online, and will provide you with product reviews and info? The app is called Checkout Smartshop and to use it, all you have to do is enter a barcode (UPC) number of a product and it will start working its magic. To purchase just go to the iTunes App Store and click on Productivity and search for "Checkout Smartshop." The app costs $4.99, but as far as I can tell, it's $5 well spent. For some cool free apps, be sure to check out my entire list!
Phrases that used to be reserved for texting, instant messaging, and personal blogging are now coming right out of our mouths! Whether it's a reflection of wanting to talk the way we type, being allowed to say things in acronym form that you couldn't otherwise (i.e., "WTF"), or if it's just the new slang, everybody's doin' it.
The Gossip Girl kids are throwing around the acronyms (so much so that their ads nearly ignited a riot), Barney Stinson is abbreviating everything, and I have even been known to let "maj" and "OMFG" slip.
What about you? Do you reserve the shortcut-speak for your typing, or do you fit this in to your everyday slang?

If you had reservations about that $99 Netflix player, Roku, then you have another alternative to watching Netflix movies: your Xbox 360!
At the E3 trade show yesterday, Microsoft announced that Xbox 360 would now be able to stream movies from Netflix right onto your TV. This is just more awesome news from Microsoft, who just this weekend announced price slashings on its Xbox 360. It is so on!
