Raise your hand if this has ever happened to you: You wake up bleary-eyed on a weekday morn, lazily scroll through your newsfeed or Twitter feed or Google reader or whatever medium you use to absorb small bits of inanity, and there it is -- an opinionated update on a season finale, new movie or hot book, filled with important plot points.

When the power goes out for long stretches in the summer, there are headaches aplenty to deal with: spoiled food, sweaty furniture, traffic light outages. But in the age of omnipresent electronic devices, âgadget comaâ may have moved to the top of the list.

How the iPhone changed us
[ Mon, 02 Jul 2012 19:28:40 EDT ]
On June 28, 2007, Nokia was the top selling mobile-phone company in the world, people stopped working when they left their computers, Android phones didn't exist, and high-powered executives were addicted to thumbing on their BlackBerrys. But five years later, the phone's dramatic impact can be seen in our daily lives, schools, factories and boardrooms.

Twitter ordered to turn over protester's tweets
