No time for a baby book? Not so, with these sites
[ Mon, 3 Sep 2012 14:49:28 GMT ]
With my first child, I bought a traditional baby book and brought it with me to the hospital to fill out all the details. For my new guy, whoâs at the sixth-month mark, I havenât even thought about a baby book until now. Such is the life of the second kid. Fortunately, itâs easy to get caught up with these websites.

[ Thu, 30 Aug 2012 15:21:48 EDT ]

Tool lets you analyze Facebook data

The scattered bits of information you upload to Facebook might not seem interesting on their own -- a photo of a baby here, a happy birthday greeting there. But taken as a whole, your Facebook profile is a trove of data that can be analyzed to find patterns and stats about your online life (or your friends' lives).

Gamers get a lightweight laptop with real muscle
[ Sat, 1 Sep 2012 06:03:34 GMT ]
If you own a serious gaming laptop then you know that the word "laptop" often seems more than a little inaccurate. Youâd have to be a giant to comfortably hold one of these powerful machines on your lap and youâd have to be The Hulk to lug most of them around for any length of time. Gaming company Razer wants to change that with its new Razer Blade laptop -- a thin, lightweight computer that flexes a lot of gaming muscle.

Religious groups vie for new Web domain names
[ Fri, 31 Aug 2012 15:12:30 GMT ]
PARIS -- Centuries-old theological disputes have broken out in cyberspace as religions aim to influence the future presentation of faith on the Internet. The forum for the rivalry is not the pulpit or church bulletin, but the website of ICANN, the corporation that oversees the Internet address system and now wants to expand it beyond the usual .com, .org or .net domains.
