The new locking handbag is one sure-fire way to protect yourself from thieves and pickpockets. Plus, it looks a little daunting. It requires a security combination to open, and once opened, the handle can be looped around shopping carts, public benches, and anywhere else a theft may take place. Made from Tonka-tough copolymer plastic, it is harder than leather and other fabrics to open, it also happens to be dirt and waterproof, making it practical and useful, for, say, the beach. Not the most beautiful thing, but very useful and helpful for people everywhere, especially the incredibly paranoid.

Apparently, Facebook has released a statement saying that around 600,000 log-ins are compromised every day. And their solution? Find three to five "trusted friends." This way, if you're locked out of your account, Facebook will send codes to your friends to give to you, that will let you back on to them. They are also testing out some app passwords that the company will create on their own, and you won't need to remember them at all. Kind of pathetic after everything else they've done, but if it truly does work, why complain? 

with the technology that a fighter plane, we can use it to help people drive better. bmw is now using HUDs which stands for Heads-up Display. its pretty much a light that is reflected on the windshield to show information about the car such as speed or gps. Apperently it helps drivers to keep their eyes on the road.

A new way to watch your videos online? SoundCloud is the new website to watch your videos that could be the next YouTube the reason being that it has increased penetration of smartphones with microphones, and also better audio while doing other activities an example would be listening to SoundCloud in the car. I think that SoundCloud is good way to watch videos and i think i would use it.

Google has added Web apps on to the desktop and the new page has bigger and friendly icons. it also added new technologies in Chrome that securely execute low-level code in the browser. Some of the new apps are gmail, Google Reader, Google News, and of course Angry Birds. Sounds good and even better then how it was before.

Any Twitter users out there? Twitter is reportedly testing some new design changes, which features your main timeline becoming expandable, so you can see media and related information smack dab in the timeline, as opposed to beside the timeline or on another page. This can speed up and shorten the time you spend on Twitter, and improve users' feelings and experiences. Trying to get more people online, Twitter? If this tests well, we will see a new Twitter, and maybe a lot more people tweeting.

RIP Steve Jobs. Stay hungry, stay foolish. Anyways, Sony optioned the biography of Steve Jobs' by Walter Isaacson and are now looking for a writer. Their hopes lie within Aaron Sorkin, acclaimed producer and screenwriter. Apparently, Sorkin actually knew Jobs. That should make the movie THAT much better. Most recently, Sorkin penned the script for The Social Network, so he knows a little something about Silicon Valley. Long live Steve Jobs' legacy, and stay foolish people.

We now see what Steve Jobs was truly like, what kind of a man he really was. The authorized biography of the genius's life by Walter Isaacson quickly rose to the top of the charts after being released on Monday, and many are finding it hard to resist. This biography unveils many a thing about Steve Jobs that the general populace might not have known before. For instance, and this is really weird, Jobs believed that deodorant was useless, and his vegan diet would make him smell nice enough. Huh. Well, geniuses usually have quirks. But, after all the contributions he made to the world of technology and advancements, has it any meaning that he didn't use any deodorant? Weird, but still. Once again, so long, and farewell, Steve Jobs. 

RIM and Porsche team up to create the new P'9981 Blackberry. It has a stainless steel frame, leather back cover, QWERTY keyboard, touch screen, and PINs that identify other P'9981 users. I would definitely buy this phone.

Everyone wants their Facebook posts and statuses to be noticed by as many people as possible, and one way to do that is by timing them to when your last status update stops showing up in your fans' news feeds. This way, no one will get annoyed that you post too much, nor that you "never" post. Many should try this, especially if they are attention seekers who need to be noticed. Jokes.

Nokia just announced two of the first "true" Windows Phones. key qualities that this phone has is that it is fast, with 1.4 GHz single core Snapdragon processor, 512 MB RAM, and 16 GB of storage. They are hoping to be sold for close to 150$. this is relevent because it is adding more competition to the smart phone industry, but will it be able to keep up with the new iphone 4s

Nokia is developing a new device that is bendable. it is supposed to work similarly to other touch screen devices, but instead of pinching to zoom in and out, you would bend the screen. i think this is a good idea for children, because i assume that since the screen is bendable, it is shatterproof. this is ideal for clumsy children who often drop things

Although new web browsers are running much faster than they did a few years ago, web evangelist, John Allsopp, suggests people slow down their technology for a little while. He says there is still a large group of people who do not have advanced technology at home to keep up with these new ways. What he is basacally saying is that the advanced world should take a break and wait for everyone -- even those who have trouble affording it -- to survive.

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.

Robotic Staffed Casino! and amazing display of today's robotics technology. People are having doubts of how this will work especially with the whole cheating prevention problem. People are wondering how it would work because in the past dealers and staff at casino's have been trained to detect cheaters and con artists, how will the robots be able to detect these subtle signs? Questions will hopefully soon be answered.

After reading this article about machines using algorithm to solve captcha codes, i read a pretty amusing comment on how we ourselves people are starting to have trouble reading the captcha codes ourselves. i find this truth to be funny and that sooner or later the captcha codes will become obsolete and we will need a different way of verifying that your not a bot.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to introduce you to the BlackBerry Porsche P'9981 - the ugliest BlackBerry I've seen in years. Unveiled at RIM and Porsche Design's Dubai event, the new BlackBerry Porsche is clad in equal parts stainless steel and leather. While the device's shell has gotten quite the facelift, the internals aren't a far cry from the standard: it sports a 1GHz processor, a 5-megapixel camera with 720p HD video, and an NFC chip.
