Posted on September 23, 2009 | No Comments
The core cast for "The Social Network", or better known as "The Facebook Movie" has been finalized. According to Variety, Columbia Pictures announced the three male leads which traces the drama behind the creation of Facebook. They are Jesse Eisenberg (Mark Zukerberg - CEO of Facebook), Justin Timberlake (Sean Parker - Co-Founder of Napster & Founding President of Facebook) and Andrew Garfield (Eduardo Saverin - Co-Founder of Facebook). I must admit that it's indeed a brilliant casting, especially Eisenberg, whose physical looks matches Zukerberg's.

AnnaTheRed was asked to make a Google Chrome icon bento, and to videotape the entire process of preparing the ingredients and cooking. I must say she did an impressive job in it and was rather creative in her Google Chrome bento box. The ingredients used were rice, egg, broccoli, red pepper, hard-boiled egg (dyed with red cabbage juice), ham, bacon, asparagus, cherry tomato, black sesame seeds, and cheese.

Top 15 Young Twitter Users Under 18
Posted on September 22, 2009 | No Comments
Twitter is the world's most popular micro-blogging platform and it's growing at an exponential rate. Many people use Twitter for several reasons. For example, celebrities create so-called fan pages to reach out to their fans, bloggers promote their blogs and some others share their thoughts and opinions regarding a particular subject. From the reasons I've mentioned above, you'd have noticed that Twitter doesn't seem to attract any kids probably around the the 13-16 age group at all. Here's are 5 Reasons Why.
Despite the relatively low percentage of teenagers on Twitter, yet a number of them have shown tremendous results by garnering thousands of followers on the Twitterverse! Today, I've compiled a list of the "Top 15 Young Twitter Users Under 18" and here they are...

Study: Moms Use Facebook & Twitter More Than Average Adults
Posted on September 21, 2009 | No Comments
My perception of moms is that they aren't as tech-savvy as young adults and the male population. However, a recent study has changed my mindset. A survey released by Retail Advertising and Marketing Association (RAMA) concluded that more than 60% of stay-at-home moms with children use Facebook, 42% use MySpace and 17% use Twitter. Surprisingly, these figures are much higher the percentage of average adults. The average for all adults is 50% for Facebook, 34% for MySpace and 15% for Twitter.
Gone are the days you would see moms flipping through magazines or newspapers searching for shopping-related stuff. In today's new era of technology, online shopping seems to be the preferred choice by many moms. They enjoy turning to the internet for recommendations for apparel, groceries, furniture, jewelry and even real estate. Besides posting daily ramblings or rants on their Twitter profiles, moms tend to spend quite a huge portion of their leisure time looking for special coupons on retailer and restaurant Facebook pages, or even enrolling themselves in special contests through these companies’ Twitter pages. The facts should not be ignored - social media is an easy and affordable method for retailers to use to get moms’ attention.

Baidu Plans to Build an OS Similar to Google Chrome OS
Posted on September 20, 2009 | No Comments
Google Chrome OS is one of the greatest inventions ever created by the folks at the search engine giant. Announced on July this year, the new Google Chrome OS will feature a small, fast-booting platform, which enables web users to get hook up to the web within a few seconds. For example, you're able to gain access to Google's apps or web services without any hassle or worry about viruses, malware and security updates.

In Singapore, More Teens Get Porn Via Mobile Phones
Posted on September 20, 2009 | No Comments
Psst, want to see something? It is porn. The person making the offer? A teenager. Indeed, more teens are downloading smut to their cellphones, thanks to easier and cheaper Internet access. Mr Yusof Ismail, executive director of voluntary welfare group Ain Society, has heard of up to 120 such cases in the last five years. There have been 15 cases so far this year. At the Singapore Children's Society, three teens are being counselled for such acts, as are two at Andrew and Grace Home. The teens usually watch videos streamed online or downloaded to their cellphones.
A Sunday Time check with 15 teens who surf on their phones showed at least seven have visited porn sites, and two have watched or tried accessing content. Mr Poh Yeang Cherng, manager of Touch Cyber Wellness and Sports, estimated that the number of young people surfing for porn on cellphones could be higher than those doing so via personal computers. The mobile platform is "subject to less control and moderation".

Twitter FAIL: Britney Spears’ & Kim Kardashian’s Twitter Accounts SUSPENDED
Posted on September 19, 2009 | No Comments
Few hours ago, I found out that my Twitter account has been suspended without valid reason. I wasn't violating any of Twitter's terms of service and I'm pretty sure that there must be some human errors within the San Francisco-based service. And guess what - celebrities such as singer Britney Spears and actress Kim Kardashian, who both have a "Verified Account" label were suspended too. No word from the folks at Twitter yet and I hope they can solve this issue as soon as possible.
