Barbara Walters Chooses Steve Jobs as Her ‘Most Fascinating Person’ of 2011 [VIDEO]
Barbara Walters has named her Most Fascinating Person of 2011: Steve Jobs.
While her policy has always been to choose only living people for the annual roundup, Walters said that when Jobs retired as CEO of Apple last summer, she knew he’d be her pick to top the list. And even after his death on October 5, Walters stuck to her choice because, much like Jobs believed, “rules were made to be broken.”

Facebook’s Timeline Is Here — So How Do You Use It? [VIDEO]
After a few months in private trials, Facebook launched its Timeline feature to the masses on Thursday. In a nutshell, it lets you view people’s photos and status updates from days long past instead of just showing you what they’ve done or posted most recently. Basically, it’s the Facebook equivalent of being forced to look through your friends’ childhood scrapbooks.
Intrigued? Here’s what you need to know before taking the plunge.

Find Out Where Facebook Is Hiding Your Important Messages
Did you know that any message sent to you on Facebook which isn’t from a friend or a friend of a friend gets filtered into an “other” subfolder?
Most people don’t, and this means you probably have dozens of messages sitting on your Facebook page that you’ve never looked at before.

Generation Z Or The iGeneration?
December 9, 2011 It occurred to me tonight that my three year old son Jack will never know the world before Steve Jobs changed everything.
Jack knows how to make calls on my iPhone, play Angry Birds on his iPod touch, and can navigate his mom's iPad better than most adults I know. To him, everything is a touch screen and if it's not, it should be. Tonight while using Netflix to watch "Curious George" Jack was actually trying to press the on-screen buttons on the television like it was a giant iPad. To him, that's the way everything should work.
Should Jack's generation be re-dubbed the "iGeneration"?

Flipboard for iPhone: A Beautiful Magazine of Your Social Media
December 8, 2011 Last Christmas I gave my wife an iPad. Most apps at that time weren't universal, and there were a few on the iPad that I really wanted on my iPhone. The list wasn't that long: Pages, Garage Band, and Flipboard. Earlier this year Apple released both Pages and Garage Band for the iPhone, but I had yet to see Flipboard.
Yesterday that changed.

Organize And Track Your Holiday Shipments With Slice
December 2, 2011 I do most of my Christmas shopping online. I can find exactly what I want, where I want, and generally for how much I want. Shopping online just makes everything easier for me. The thing I don't like about online shopping is tracking down shipping numbers.
You know what I mean: Where is the email with the tracking number? When is that package supposed to arrive? What email account did I sign up to the company for? Where did I have it shipped? Why can't I find my receipt? What card did I pay with? AAHHH!
Luckily I found an app that fixes all of that. It's called 'Slice' and it's free.

iPhone Explodes on Australian Flight, Android Users Gloat [PHOTO]
While many call the Apple iPhone one of the hottest gadgets ever, this probably isn’t what they had in mind.
Shortly after a Regional Express flight landed in Sydney, Australia on Friday, a passenger’s iPhone began “emitting a significant amount of dense smoke” accompanied by an eerie red glow. According to a press release issued by the airline, a flight attendant “extinguished” the device and no one was hurt.

November 30, 2011 There's nothing more frustrating during the holidays than realizing you've forgotten to buy a gift for an important someone in your life.

What if there was a way to get a great deal on Apple gear right now? There is, and they're called refurbished products.
