Now that we’ve found another ‘Earth’… what should we call it?

After reading an article stating that an Earth-like planet has been discovered, the question that crosses many (ok… well not that many) peoples’ minds is… What should we call it!?

Reminder to Blackberry Users: Install this now!

A while ago I blogged about a free application that could help you locate a stolen/misplaced Blackerry device over on my personal blog.

Facebook declares mobile messaging war with free dedicated chat application

Many Android and iPhone users have had the opportunity to install the Facebook Messenger application that provides a dedicated stand-alone chat/messaging interface for communication with their ‘friends’ via their mobile phones.

Please be more logical with what you help spread. You’re friends trust you, and that’s […]

FB Timeline: Your Activity Feed (Control what is shown)

Mindblowing Facebook change: [verb] any [noun]

During the last year, the ‘like’ button has become a part of the internet. This was part of Facebook’s mission to connect interests to people after connecting people to people.
