Tina Fey Shows Off Her Organizational Skills
In a recent print ad for American Express, Tina Fey was captured in true form with her daughter Alice Zenobia in what I'm assuming is her home office or the world's messiest set design! After spotting this ad on lifehacker, I'm starting to think that Fey may not be as geeky as we thought.

Study: Not All Tech Users Think It's A Good Thing

According to the Pew Internet and American Life Project, half of all American adults are only occasional users of modern information gadgetry, while 8 percent are avid participants in all that digital life has to offer.
The study asked people about their use of the internet, cell phones and other devices that connect to the internet (such as digital and video cameras) as well as questions about people's actions (in terms of downloading video and audio) and attitudes (how people use the internet to pursue hobbies etc).
Would You Use WiFi with Commercials?
I've always been a free WiFi hunter, but having an iPhone has definitely heightened my hunting instincts. I am constantly seeking signals in cafes, restaurants, and stores and get a sick thrill out of finding one and getting online in unexpected places. Apparently, I'm not alone.
