What If Websites Were Rated Like Movies?
What if you went to a website and a rating popped up, telling you it was PG-13? That's the suggestion of British Culture Secretary Andy Burnham, who thinks that "film-style ratings" for websites is a good idea.
Whether it would work or not, I think it's a logical conclusion to come to, since even video games are given ratings these days.

Vacations may be fun, but they don't come cheaply. Thankfully, there are a handful of tricks that enable us to explore the globe economically.

Website of the Day: Gnoosic
I know there're plenty of ways for you to discover new music online — from Pandora to my new fave, CitySounds — but I'm about to add another to your bag of tricks. Called Gnoosic, this website asks you point blank what bands or artists you like, works its analyzing magic, then spits out a list of recommended artists you might fancy.
Sure, it doesn't have a fancy interface like Pandora, but it's smart — it's a self-adapting system that has compiled thousands of band names from users, then learned what people like and don't like based on its rating system.

What Would You Do If Your Sex Tape Surfaced?
I was pretty shocked today to learn that Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart have a "naked tape," which could soon be known as a sex tape if the X-rated version surfaces tomorrow as rumored.
The video shows the Grey's Anatomy star and his wife bathing nude in a tub with former beauty queen Kari Ann Peniche and talking about how high they are. Oops, to say the least.
Fab Site: Wahanda
When I first heard of Wahanda.com I was skeptical. I wasn't quite sure how a website could do for spas, beauty and wellness, what Trip Advisor has done for holidays. However, after speaking with co-owner Salim Mitha, I've come to understand the in's and out's of this year old site site and couldn't wait to tell you guys all about it.

Gin Haters: Right Will Prove You Wrong
Gin can be a polarizing spirit. With the exception of a few gin and tonics, I've always avoided it; however, a bunch of new gins on the market have converted me into a gin lover. One such gin, Right gin, is my current favorite.
Ask Savvy: How Can I Get Out of My Gym Membership?
Dear Savvy,
I've been trying to cancel my gym contract and the gym guy is making it impossible to get a hold of him to even discuss it. He said we could talk about canceling or reducing the rate, but every time I call and get an answer, he simply says to email him. Then, I get no response and when I call back, I get voice mail.
