| Holiday Shoppers: Beware of “Grey Charges” Posted: 07 Dec 2012 06:46 PM PST
"Grey charges" is a new term for when you buy something and then wind up purchasing something else you didn't want, or didn't ask for. BillGuard, a company that provides transaction monitoring and resolution services, says these charges are often the result of companies counting on the fact that people don't read fine print or verify their transactions as carefully as they should. For example, my s… More About: online shopping, scams  |
| Temporary Tattoo Attaches Health Sensor to Your Body Posted: 07 Dec 2012 06:09 PM PST This type of tattoo won't disappoint your mom. A health-monitoring sensor can be attached to your arm with a temporary tattoo. The blue smiley-face "tattoo" hides medical sensors that monitor your skin's pH levels. The sensors can detect and relay information about metabolic stress from exertion to your doctor. The temporary tattoos are made just like the ones little kids get in grocery store vending machines, except these contain ion-selective electrodes (ISE). The eyes of the smiley face are working electrodes, while the ears are where doctor's measurement devices can be attached to extract the data. Researchers at University of Toronto Scarborough invented the sensor tattoo,… More About: athletes, health, tattoo  |
| How LoJack for Laptops Recovers Your Stolen Device Posted: 07 Dec 2012 05:33 PM PST If you're giving or receiving a new laptop for the holidays, you may want to consider an added layer of protection. Laptop theft peaks during the holiday season, according to theft-prevention company Absolute Software. There are plenty of laptop-tracking apps and gadgets that can track your stolen computer. But, in most cases, that's the easy part. It's not guaranteed local law enforcement will help you retrieve the laptop after you've tracked it down. LoJack for Laptops, however, is a service that helps laptop owners physically recover stolen devices. Absolute Software is one of the only Internet-security companies nearly guaranteeing your stolen laptop's safe return. The compan… More About: LoJack For Laptops, laptop, security, stolen laptops  |

Billy on the Street debuts its second season Friday night. The show features Eichner running around the city, throwing his microphone in people's faces and forcing them to do crazy things like choose between Meryl Streep and Glenn Close on the spot.

| Posted: 07 Dec 2012 03:01 PM PST Each month, the world watches 4 billion hours of YouTube video. And many people catch those clips during work breaks, while commuting or sneaking them in at the office. Before I started working at Mashable, I was probably still a significant contributor to this number. I don't sneak videos in between breaks at work, because I'm too busy sleeping, breathing and eating. (Plus, I think about YouTube videos for a living.) This is normally the part when someone jokes that I get paid to watch cat videos all day, but that is a myth that seriously needs to be debunked. Let's say I spent 2.5 hours per work day watching YouTube videos. (It's a conservative number, believe it o… More About: Video, Year End 2012, YouTube, features, op-ed, viral videos  |
| Twitter Reacts to Supreme Court Decision to Tackle Gay Marriage Posted: 07 Dec 2012 02:48 PM PST
DOMA was signed into law by President Clinton in 1996, and stated that the word "marriage" referred only to a legal union "between one man and one woman as husband and wife." Because of the provision, the the federal government cannot officially recognize a same-sex marriage (they are only considered married under state law) and therefore must deny benefits to gay couples married in those states where it is legal. The Supreme Court will also consider challenges to C… More About: LGBT, Supreme Court, Twitter, gay marriage, gay rights  |

| Microsoft Surface May Be Coming to Major Retailers Posted: 07 Dec 2012 01:30 PM PST
According to Microsoft blogger Paul Thurrott, Microsoft is accelerating its plans to get its Surface RT tablet on the store shelves of major retailers. Citing no sources, Thurrott says the Surface could be landing at some of those stores within the next few days. The company had originally planned to expand retail distribution of Surface in early 2013, but Thurrott says it's decided to "ramp up" that schedule for unknown reasons.

German-born photographer Michael Wolf is looking to change that with his latest photo essay. The pics highlight the jarring contrast between the often grim factory workers and the cheery toys they create. (Not all workers are downcast; a few are smiling.) Wolf heightened the dissonance with an exhibit in California that framed the worker's faces within a mosaic of colorful toys. In his online gallery, Wolf dropped some troubling stats about Chinese factory workers. For instance, their average m… More About: china, holiday season, toys  |

| Twitter Reducing Some Tweets to Just 117 Characters Posted: 07 Dec 2012 12:41 PM PST
Starting in February, tweets that contain URLs will be reduced to 118 characters, 117 for https links. While that may seem like a huge drop, the change represents a two-character drop per tweet from what you are currently able to send when a hyperlink is involved. Announced Thursday on Twitter's developer blog, the adjustment is due to some upcoming changes in Twitter's t.co link wrapper. The revision extends the maximum length of t.co wrapped links from 20 to 22 characters for non-https URLs and from 21 to 23 characters for https URLs.

The hospitality brand, known for its global hotel network and posh restaurants led by decorated chefs, launched TASTE to reach the food-loving community online.
