Get Facebook Home On Any Android Device Now

Facebook Home has been the topic du jour since its release on Friday, but it's still only available for a small handful of devices. Those with Android phones and tablets that aren't under the roll-out umbrella have been left out in the cold, until now. TechCrunch reports that MoDaCo founder Paul O'Brien has created a patch of Facebook Home that will work on practically any Android device. O'Brien's patch is easy to get on any Android device: Go to your phone's "Settings" menu to make … [Read more...]

LeBron: Can’t worry about injuries

LeBron- Can't worry about injuries

MIAMI -- LeBron James' longest string of missed games in his NBA career was five straight, and that was because of a finger injury more than five years ago. He knows he's fortunate in that regard. So he cannot really relate to what Kobe Bryant is dealing with now that the Los Angeles Lakers star's season is over with a torn Achilles that required surgery and is expected to keep him sidelined for up to nine months. But while Bryant's heavy workload down the stretch of this season … [Read more...]

Fanning the flames of the Republican feud with Jay-Z, Florida Senator Marco Rubio chided the rapper Sunday over his recent trip to Cuba with wife Beyonce. “I think Jay-Z needs to get informed," Rubio said during an interview on ABC's "This Week." "One of his heroes is Che Guevara. Che Guevara was a racist. Che Guevara was a racist that wrote extensively about the superiority of white Europeans over people of African descent, so he should inform himself on the guy that he’s propping … [Read more...]

KEVIN HART YUP, I WAS DRUNK

Kevin Hart was not under oath, but he still told the truth to TMZ on his way out of jail ... he was drunk when cops busted him for DUI. As TMZ first reported, Hart was popped for suspicion of DUI early Saturday morning after California Highway Patrol officers spotted him speeding and driving erratically on the freeway. On his way out of jail this morning, Hart fully admitted to being drunk ... and even said he told the officers as much. Guess he doesn't plan on pleading not … [Read more...]

IHS sees netbooks dead by 2015, blames Apple’s iPad

April 14, 2013 By
Even as the wider PC industry declines thanks to the rise of mobile devices, IHS is predicting that one segment in particular will be fully dead within two years, with Apple's iPad as the primary driver in its decline.

Even as the wider PC industry declines thanks to the rise of mobile devices, IHS is predicting that one segment in particular will be fully dead within two years, with Apple's iPad as the primary driver in its decline. Netbooks were supposed to be the bridge between mobile devices like smartphones and the traditional PC form factor. The category peaked in 2010 with 32.14 million units shipped. That's also the same year that Apple's iPad hit the market, and it's been a rapid downhill slide … [Read more...]

If you’re an iPhone user, you might be feeling a little left behind, because Facebook launched an application called Facebook Home, touted by CEO Mark Zuckerberg as the “next version of Facebook.” In fact, you might be feeling this way if you’re an Android user, too. For now, only a handful of select devices can even run Home (officially) — devices that users adopt in particular to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to new app releases. Notably missing from the lineup is Google’s … [Read more...]

WordPress is easy. That’s why people like it. It’s quick to set up a simple site. It’s easy to manage large amounts of content. It’s easy to add functionality without having to know how to code php because there is such a large developer community that makes tons of free plugins. It’s also pretty easy to hack. When things are easy, we are less vigilant and we do stupid things like using obvious passwords (remember what trouble that caused on LinkedIn?) Less obvious is the use of the … [Read more...]

United States puts Japan on notice in currency report

U.S. President Barack Obama delivers remarks on measures to reduce gun violence, in Connecticut

(Reuters) - The Obama administration on Friday put Japan on notice that it was watching its economic policies to ensure they were not aimed at devaluing the yen to gain a competitive advantage. In a semi-annual report on currency practices of major trade partners, the United States also said China's currency remained "significantly undervalued," but again stopped short of labeling the world's second-biggest economy a currency manipulator. It has been more than 18 years since the U.S. … [Read more...]
