Editor’s Note NEW Facebook Timeline Have you seen Facebook’s new Timeline redesign on your friends profiles yet? In what has been said to be one of Facebook's most extreme redesigns so far, Timeline beta-launched in 2011 and is now available to all users. Timeline uses an algorithm to assess and organize significant life moments of users; it changes the default of a list of your recent updates to a gallery-style summary of your entire life. Divided into two main columns, Timeline can include photos, videos, locations and the usual updates along with “life events” that even happened before being a Facebook user. Timeline changes the default profile from a list of your most recent updates to a complete summary of your entire life since birth. It includes photos, videos, status updates and places you have visited. Users can edit their profile page, and can hide chosen updates from their timeline.
Here’s a video tutorial on how to activate Facebook Timeline. And here’s one on how to get the old one back if you hate Timeline. Order today, Other Internet providers can take days or even weeks to connect you. In most cases, if you order our service today, we can connect you tomorrow! That’s SpeedConnect!

so very young, but Gizmodo, the “go-to authority
for gadget news and digital culture,” has already crowned the “dumbest
Skymall product of the year.”
Skymall, as you’re probably aware, is the product catalog found in airplanes advertising sometimes very unusual gadgets and products. Gizmodo found their “Star Screen Social Backdrops” especially dumb calling it a “plastic piece of solidified imbecility.” The reason for their harsh assessment? The “backdrop” is actually a screen that attaches to your chair:
Their Skymall description:
