What Do You Think About Shared E-Mail Accounts?
Last week my mother forwarded me a message from a woman who is a friend of our family and I realized she has a joint e-mail account with her husband. That is to say, her e-mail was her name, plus her husband's name, plus their last name. The address made me question their autonomy and wonder why two smart, independent people would create a joint e-mail account.
Have You Received a Text That Wasn't Meant For You?
An Australian cricket champion's life just got a lot more complicated after he accidently sent a message intended for his mistress to his wife.
Apparently, the message read: "Hey beautiful, I'm just talking to my kids, the back door's open." When his wife received the text she sent him the message: "You loser, you sent the message to the wrong person."

Digital Santa Photo Keychain: Love It or Leave It?
After seeing this cute Digital Santa Clause Keychain on OhGizmo!, I knew I could find a purpose for it—even if it meant giving it to one of my sisters as a Christmas present. With a 1.1-inch LCD display, 8MB of internal memory, these keychains are almost as big as the colorful digital photo ornaments. Each keychain costs around $15 each.
Love It Or Leave It: TimeCap Digital Urn
Designed by Cherif Morsi, the TimeCap hopes to become a burial ritual for the 21st century. The idea is that instead of putting someone’s ashes in an urn, the small USB device holds photos, sound bytes, videos, and any other type of digital media, so you can memorialize your loved ones with happy memories. You can wear around your neck and plug it in whenever you need a moment of reflection or reconnection with the deceased person.
"Slimming" Digital Cameras: Love It or Hate It?
On a number of its new digital-camera models, HP has introduced a new "slimming feature," which promises to trim pounds off of your photo subjects using imaging trickery. You can read about the details here, but basically, the nifty tool subtly makes people appear trimmer while still maintaining normal body proportions. The driving philosophy behind this product seems to be, Why lose weight if you can look better in photos regardless?
Rolleiflex Mini Digital Camera: Love It or Leave It?
The Rolleiflex Mini Digital Camera is about as vintage geek-meets-modern functionality as you can get. It's a 5-megapixel camera, but it looks its 1920s era German namesake.
I'm thoroughly charmed by the Rolleiflex, especially the up-facing display that lets you shoot without the camera and the hand-lever crank, and how cute it looks around your neck.
Digital Graphic Sheet Set: Love It or Leave It?
I live, eat, and sleep tech, but I don't necessarily mean that literally. If I did, I think I would need these Digital Graphic Sheets ($50-100), which PBTeen calls "tech-inspired."
My dreams are geeky enough, but falling asleep on a bed of pixels?
Sgt. Pepper Headed to the Rock Band Music Store Tomorrow
September was a big month for The Beatles in the gaming world when The Beatles Rock Band hit the market. I went crazy over it during a sneak peek at E3, and was not disappointed when I got my own copy. Although The Beatles have not always been so chummy with tech, times are a-changing as Sgt.
Tech Dating 101: Do You Save Messages From Your Date?
One of the benefits of of digital technology is that every email, text, and voicemail is easily saved, stored, and relived. It's helpful when you're dating someone — I think it's both fun and cute to reread old messages. (Though I suppose this can get dicey when trying to cut your ex out of your digital life, but that's a topic for another day).
Love It or Hate It? Zöe Salmon's Double Plaits
Last night at the Digital Spy Reality TV Awards in London, Irish TV presenter Zöe Salmon arrived with her hair styled half up, half down and two plaits around the crown. I love this Grecian-inspired look as an idea for days when you don't feel like washing your hair. The plaits act like an Alice band (a perfect solution to avoid fighting with uncooperative fringe), and pulling the sides off back is easy to acheive.
