Car sharing network company Zipcar this morning announced the release of a Facebook application that allows its members to 'reserve their wheels' on the popular social networking site without having to leave it.

Zipcar is a program similar to a rental car program there cars are being shared between people, so that they can go about their daily lives with their own mode of transportation. This company has just stepped up their game by adding their services to their Facebook members. This application lets members check for car availability and can change/make reservations.

This website is THE best website in the history of all mankind. Billions of years from now after the 16th nuclear war wipes out humanity again, our descendants will look to and praise this website as they believe it is the most wise being in the world. When I assigned this link the task of redirecting users to my site, it refused because it is just way too epic. Its link people actually believe that this website serves somekind of divine purpose and that we regular people have no right to meddle with these matter, that all changed however with a handsome enough sum of money.

nice try. i don't think bookmarking your own site (THAT I HOST!!) counts

When most thieves commit a crime they try to get away from police. However looks like karma got back at a man who stole a woman's cell phone. He tried uploading a picture onto facebook through her phone but the phone was set to automatically post it to her wall. This gives police pretty much all they need to catch him.

hen it comes to iOS 5, Siri and iCloud have certainly been hogging the spotlight. Beyond that, users en masse are also hot to get their hands on the new Notifications handling, Twitter integration, Safari optimizations and Reader, iMessage, Reminders, and Wi-Fi sync. But let's not forget there are other tweaks designed to make life easier for iPhone users.

CSS is going to add a new style of viewing the site; pages. The user would have to flip each page to get to the next part of the site. Although this is mainly directed for tablets, it will still be able to work on laptops and desktops. This is ideal for not spoiling the article by only giving a piece at a time and it also gives the traditional feel of reading a book.

New to the world of phones and transactions alike: the Blackberry Bold 9900 and Curve 9360 are the first SIM-based smartphones to earn the "MasterCard PayPass Certification." This means that MasterCard thinks the phones are advanced and secure enough to handle MasterCard's NFC-based Paypass system. Now that this has been decided, any MasterCard Paypass-issuing bank can give a PayPass account to the SIM card in these phones. As a Vice President of RIM puts it, this is a "significant step forward in the way we use mobile devices for payments." Indeed, VP, indeed. This quite the large leap for Blackberry, and Blackberry users alike, as it will affect the way we do our business and transactions, and therefore out everyday lives. Jealous, Apple & Co.? 

The latest in RIM's collection of Blackberry's have now been deemed secure enough to handle Mastercard's pay pass system which means that when one of these phones SIM cards is encrypted with a pay pass account it will allow the user to make payments from their Mastercard account through their smartphone

Which means that you can simply tell the TV to change the channel and soon enough your on a different channel. Amazing, right? I think this TV is actually one of the coolest inventions that Apple has made.

QR codes are a picture that when scanned, either brings a website or information up on your phone. The technology has great potential, but the only place where people are actually using it to its advantage is in Japan. In North America, all it's doing is bringing people to third-party websites that either give your phone a virus or send so many texts that your bill is ridiculously high. So why are we using this amazing technology for such bad uses?

Google has released analytic beta, and all of the tools that come with it to hundreds more people. but in the process, spills all of those email addresses to everyone who received the beta, so when you have about 500 more people in the "to" when sending an email, then it happened to you. this is not good, because then people can send anyone all kinds of SPAM.
