There’s a Facebook app for the iPhone and Android, so why, after all this time, hasn’t the company released one for the iPad? Here’s the kicker: It exists, and it’s been more or less ready to go for some time.
TechCrunch reports that for nearly five months, the app was feature complete (and not completely finished) but still …
Summer’s over. You have a lot of happy memories, and many of them are stored digitally as photographs. Organizing those pictures will help you find the ones you want quickly and easily.
Sure, you can easily find all the photos from your Grand Canyon trip, because they’re in a folder called “Grand Canyon.” But can you just as easily …
Facebook may not be planning to shut down your account or charge you, but that doesn’t mean that they aren’t doing some things that you might want to be concerned about. Say, for example, tracking users even after they log out of the site.
That’s the accusation from developer Nik Cubrilovic, who discovered that Facebook “alters” …
What you’re seeing here is the latest trailer for the upcoming Batman game, due out in just a few short weeks. And, to no one’s surprise, the Dark Knight’s white-faced archenemy will be in the game, masterfully voiced once more by Mark Hamill.
But, the plot points teased in this trailer have me a little worried, because there seem …
This may not end well. In order to sign up for popular streaming music service, Spotify, you’ll now need to be a Facebook member first. That’s right, you’ll need a Facebook account in order to use Spotify.
Here’s one Spotify employee’s answer to the question, “Can you sign up for Spotify without Facebook?”:
“Hey Guys thanks for your

Yesterday afternoon, amid the pure, unbridled bliss I’ve come to know as the NFL RedZone channel, my wife said, “Wait, Facebook is going to start charging people?”
I chuckled and asked, “Is this according to someone on Facebook?”

BlackBerry’s 7-inch PlayBook tablet launched to mostly lackluster reviews back in April. It was the same old story: buggy software, tumbleweed in the app store and, most importantly, an uncompetitive price tag.
The intersection of supply and demand may be moving a tad closer to equilibrium on the PlayBook’s retail graph, though, as …
Netflix, in an effort to minimize its exodus of customers, has inked a deal with DreamWorks Animation over the weekend. While you won’t be able to get your Toy Story 3 fix, you can probably console yourself with a little Shrek.
It’s unclear how long the deal, which is valued at $30 million per film to DreamWorks, would last between …
Given their meteoric success on mobile devices so far, it’s no surprise that Rovio’s Angry Birds franchise is headed for bigger things. But it’s possible that no one really expected those bigger things to mean a giant version of the game played by crowds at a Formula One racetrack this weekend.
The big-screen version of the game, …
This whole Netflix-Qwikster split had a fair number of people wondering if Reed Hastings had lost his mind. Hastings is no dummy, though, so there’s got to be some sort of method to the perceived madness.

Question: I saw that Facebook announced some sort of new profile yesterday. Like, like, like and like! How do I get it?!

At the time, the network was a hit amongst college campuses and was not yet available to the public. Since then, the user interface has gone through more looks and changes than Lady Gaga sees in a good month.
