Do you follow a brand in social media? Are you glad you did? If that's the case, they are either doing one of three things: Connecting with one of your passions and/or interests. If you're a small business owner, you may want to consider which of the three strategies you're following. You might also mull following one of the strategies exclusively.

| MediSafe App Makes Sure You Take Your Pills on Time Posted: 21 Feb 2013 08:50 PM PST
Enter MediSafe, a virtual pillbox that can remind you to take medicines at the right time. If you're responsible for someone -– for instance a child or elderly parent -– then you can also track their medications. The app launched just a few months ago, and reports that users are taking pills on time 81% of the time. That's 31% higher than the World Health Organization's estimated average medication adherence rate of 50%. Part of its success comes in its reminder functionality, but accountability plays a huge role as well. If your spouse, f… More About: App, medical care |
| Bubble Bursting in Extra Slow Motion Is Incredible Posted: 21 Feb 2013 08:33 PM PST
You swish all that watery goodness around and wait for that magic wand to do its work but, alas, the bubbles are gone in microseconds, popping right before your eyes, leaving you wet and soapy, never having had the chance to say goodbye.

| 2014 World Cup Will Be First to Use Goal-Line Technology Posted: 21 Feb 2013 07:27 PM PST
That will mark the first time the planet's biggest single-sport event uses the high-tech method of determining whether or not the ball crosses the plane of the goal. Goal-line technology was used at the Club World Cup in December and will be used again at this summer's Confederations Cup -- a World Cup preview of sorts held in the big event's host nation one year before the World Cup. High profile soccer matches have been beset by a number of did-he-or-didn't-he scoring controversies over the years. Judging controversial goals in soccer is especially d… |
| Man Faces 18 Months in Jail for Twitter Parody Posted: 21 Feb 2013 07:10 PM PST
Rodrigo Ferrari Prieto is accused of being behind three now inactive accounts that mocked Chilean business mogul Andrónico Luksic and his family, according to Global Voices. Luksic's lawyer said tweets were posted under Luksic's name, along with personal photos and "inappropriate comments" that damaged his client's reputation. Ferrari Prieto claimed he was behind only one of the three accounts, which used an avatar of money falling and a description that read "we have tons of money." He said account was a joke and should not be considered a crime. Twit… More About: chile, crime, lawsuit, parody, Twitter |
| Here’s Who Needs a Chromebook Pixel Posted: 21 Feb 2013 06:50 PM PST
The tech pundit jury has apparently reached a solemn, sober verdict on the Chromebook Pixel laptop Google launched Thursday. And the verdict is ... "Oh my God, look at the sticker price!" (Tech pundits faint with shock.) This rush to judgment, most of it without so much as seeing the device, is a great pity. I've been using the Pixel all day, and it's one of the most gorgeous pieces of hardware I've picked up in a while. The Pixel is a pleasure to use, with a screen that's just as eye-poppingly beautiful as a Macbook Retina -- except you can navigate it by touch like a retina-display iPad. (And if you don't want to touch the screen, the giant glass trackpad on the k… More About: chromebook, Google, LTE |
| The Video Game Entertainment Curve Posted: 21 Feb 2013 06:24 PM PST Between Angry Birds and Skyrim is a wide spectrum of video games. Some are two-dimensional and others have complex graphics; some have little-to-no learning curves, while others take hours to get the hang of them.

| Digital Harassment Linked With Physical Abuse Among Dating Teens Posted: 21 Feb 2013 03:37 PM PST
One study on teen dating shows one in four teens is harassed by their partner online or through texts. While new technology hasn't increased overall rates of abuse, it creates new platforms for the abuse to occur. Check out the video, above, for more. The abuse extends further than Twitter jabs and menacing Facebook messages. Ninety-six percent of high school and middle school teens who experienced it online were also victim of other forms of abuse. Victims of digital harassment are twice as likely to be physically abused… More About: bc video lead, brightcove, dating, Lifestyle, teen dating abuse |

Click here to view this gallery.
Aimed at discerning shooters who are not quite professionals, this lightweight 24.1-megapixel camera has a new image sensor that Nikon hasn't used in any of its other cameras. That new CMOS imager brings with it a tremendous benefit: better low-light performance with a native ISO range of 100-6400. If our experience with Nikon is any indication, you'll be able to shoot clean-looking photos all the way up into that 6400 ISO setting. That means you'll be able to shoot in candlelight, and get even sharper pictures whenever the light… More About: digital cameras, DSLR, Nikon |

| Google Chromebook Pixel Is an Expensive Gamble Posted: 21 Feb 2013 01:21 PM PST
The rumors were true. Google's Chromebook is going upscale. The search giant and OS upstart unveiled its first high-resolution touchscreen laptop on Thursday, the Pixel, and turned the Chrome OS and Chromebook from an entry-level platform for cash-starved netizens into a powerful tool for cloud-friendly business people. It's a big bet and one has to wonder, can the Chrome OS survive at this altitude? While there were some who speculated that the next big Chrome OS announcement would be Chrome tablets, I knew that would be nothing but trouble for Google's Android partners. It would only further confuse people who wondered why Google continued to work on two distinc… More About: Chrome OS, chromebook, Google |
