Discreetly hide your iPhone in your bra using the...
Maybe you are going out on a night on the town with a small dress and no pockets, where do you put your iPhone? Or for that matter, how about lipstick or your ID and credit card? Two students thought about this and got tired of lugging around a purse for a night out, so they created the JoeyBra. The JoeyBra is a simple concept of a bra with a side pocket. You can fit your mobile device in it, or...

Become a business mogul in Jay-z's new Facebook...
Do you think you have what it takes to go from a bonafied hustler, to an entrepreneur to a business mogul? That is what Jay-z did, and he wants you to do the same thing in his new Facebook app game called Empire. From what it looks like, Empire is basically a take off of Mobsters (by Playdom) or even more like Mafia Wars (by Zynga), which is a flagship app on the social networking platform,...

If you're not sure where to go next, go right
This video called Go Right has a double meaning to it; certainly more meaning than what’s on the surface of video game characters always going ‘right’ during game play. It’s a nice catch from Buzzfeed. And with the music by Michael Nyman, and the great game compilation, it’s a winner in my book. Enjoy.

Last night after hours the House decided to vote on CISPA, the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act which has been widely criticized for privacy rights violations because the government and private companies can monitor your private information (emails for example) and pass that information to government agencies completely bypassing Internet privacy laws with little to no probable cause...

Penvue is an innovative electronic pen that can...
Whiteboards are an easy way to write on a flat surface, and be able to then erase and write over the surface quickly and easily. However, they are not mobile, and over time it can cost money to purchase additional whiteboards and whiteboard markers. The emphasis really being though, whiteboards are not made to move around and typically are stationary, so in a school setting you may have one...

The Internet Society who is launching the Internet Hall of Fame is a source for Internet information who promotes...

Congress wants all cars to have event data...
I asked on a recent post of mine, after learning about CISPA, which followed ACTA and SOPA, what could be nexta? In a joking manner, I really didn’t think, at least I didn’t hope there would be something I would be writing about days later that could be answering that question. The answer may end up being MAP-21. The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) is yet...

Facebook now has over 900 million active users
Facebook just passed a momentous turning point in the number of active users it has. For a while, they were in the 800-850 million user threshold, but in an amendment to their S-1 IPO filing, they say they now have 901 million active users. Facebook is now less than 100 million users away from 1 billion total active users, which once that happens you can expect probably the biggest of big events...
