final project

Bellringer 5/13

Some people hire florists and caterers when planning their wedding. Former Google employee Brit Morin brought on a programmer to create a custom app.

That personal app grew into Weduary, a real product that helps people design wedding sites, and Morin went on to create her own lifestyle how-to company called Brit + Co., which combines crafting, homemaking and a bit of tech.

In the year since it launched, Brit + Co. has created tons of step-by-step posts, filmed how-to videos staring Brit, brought in user-generated projects and started selling merchandise such as crafting starter kits, books and subscription boxes called Brit Kits. For $20 a month, Brit + Co. will deliver a Brit Kit box filled with crafting materials and instructions for projects such as gloves that work on touchscreen devices.

Last week, Brit.co entered its newest stage by branching out into content aggregation with a feature called Brit's Picks. The company is pulling in posts from 25 popular crafting and style sites, including Style Me Pretty, Oh Happy Day and Smitten Kitchen, and hand-picking the best posts to share with the Brit.co readers.

Inspired by the Maker movement and the tech culture of Silicon Valley, Morin wanted to combine her interest in technology and crafting with the popular Maker movement.

Smart phones may cost more than $200.
usually the buyer just signs up for a 2 year contract and ends up paying 200.00 for the phone they want, but that might change over the years and the price might end up costing more.

The heart of the Sense home screen is not too different from a news aggregator such as Flipboard. You choose the topics you want in your feed, connect your own social networks, and let Sense do the rest. The end result is a never-ending Mondrian of information.

The idea has the potential to be really great, but in practice it feels a bit limited. For starters, you're confined to a handful of news sources hand-picked by HTC, which means that you can't toss your favorite blogs and sites into the mix. Nor can you view any other vital information from your phone on the home screen, such as text messages, chat notifications or Google Now cards. It seems like a missed opportunity.

Also strange is HTC's decision to mess around with the Android standard for navigation buttons. Unlike what you'd fine on the Nexus phones or even the Galaxy S4, the HTC One has only two touch sensitive navigation buttons along the bottom -- back and home. And while they mostly work fine, if you've been a long time Android user, you may find yourself awkwardly reaching for the multitasking button that isn't there. (Pro Tip: double-tap the home button).

Apple has elicited a lot of hand-wringing by investors and fans alike lately, even as its chief competition Samsung seems to be prompting nothing but applause. Turns out selling a wider variety of phones and tablets is a good strategy after all.

While Apple was on its way to the company's first profit decline in almost a decade during the first three months of the year, Samsung's net profit grew 42 percent in the same period to 7.2 trillion won -- about $6.5 billion U.S. -- from 5 trillion won a year earlier. It was a record-setting quarter for the Korean consumer electronics maker.

My spring break

Over my spring break i went to south padre island, i stayed in the car while everyone got out the car and had fun. I stayed inside because it was windy and cold and i didn't want to be cold and i just wanted to see the ocean up close. My parents had a party for my little brother whose birthday is on the 21 of this month, and we also had a cook out and invited some people over to have a bite. I also slept in for a couple days and i got on tumblr for a while and blogged and i lost about 10 followers, but i got them all back.

bellringer 3/1 The future of online privacy Privacy experts from Facebook, Google, Mozilla and Microsoft have been tackling these big questions this week at the RSA security conference in San Francisco. Companies that provide free services, such as search engines or social networks, have to strike the right balance between respecting their customers' privacy concerns and serving advertisers. "It's important and easy for everyone to acknowledge that much of the incredible growth of the Internet today has been fueled by advertising," said Keith Enright, Google's senior privacy counsel. "I believe that will continue to be true."

Apparently This Matters: Face tattoos "Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy. ..." Now, when I say he tattooed his name over her face, we're talking full cheek-to-cheek, gothic-style, see-it-from-space lettering. The kind of tattoo so outrageously big and bold and crazy that parents can't even really get mad. "Your mother and I have discussed this, and we've decided to take a cruise." Fortunately, the new, happy couple are getting married, and they have big plans to stay together forever. So not to worry. This can't possibly go wrong. But here's the kicker. Toumaniantz is the same tattoo artist who, in 2009, made international headlines after he inked 56 stars on the face of a Belgian woman named Kimberley Vlaeminck. Normally, that wouldn't be newsworthy. But, after the ink session was over, the woman claimed she only asked for three stars near her eye, and that the tattooist just kept adding more and more as she fell asleep in the chair. Ultimately, this turned out to be a lie. She later admitted that she had, indeed, asked for all 56 stars but was scared about what her dad would say. "Your mother and I have discussed this, and we've decided to keep you in a box."

Dad pays daughter $200 to quit Facebook Boston father is paying his 14-year-old daughter $200 to quit using the social site for almost five months, according to a post on his blog. On Tuesday, Paul Baier, a research consultant from Boston, posted an image of a "Facebook Deactivation Agreement" with his daughter, Rachel. Facebook users envious of friends Facebook unveils upgraded search tool "Her idea which I support fully," he wrote. In the signed agreement, his daughter agrees to deactivate Facebook from this past Monday until June 26 (which, perhaps notably, would be well into summer break for most schools). In return, he'll give her $50 in April and the remaining $150 in June.

Twitter hacked; 250,000 accounts affected Twitter is coming forward as the latest site to be hacked. The social network said in a blog post Friday afternoon that approximately 250,000 user accounts were potentially compromised, with attackers gaining access to information including user names and email addresses. The company first detected signs of an attack earlier in the week, which led to an investigation and the discovery of a larger breach. "This week, we detected unusual access patterns that led to us identifying unauthorized access attempts to Twitter user data. We discovered one live attack and were able to shut it down in process moments later," said Bob Lord, Twitter's director of information security, in a post. "However, our investigation has thus far indicated that the attackers may have had access to limited user information."

Facebook charges $100 to message Mark Zuckerberg

Want to message Mark Zuckerberg on Facebook? For $100, your note will land in his inbox.

Traditionally, if a Facebook user messages someone outside his or her network, the missive gets sent to the "Other" mailbox -- a rarely checked purgatory most users don't even know exists. It's a practice intended to protect users from a spam deluge.

Facebook said in December that it would begin testing out paid messages, allowing users to contact people with whom they have no direct connection in return for a fee. Facebook didn't say at the time how much it would cost, but the answer turns out to be "a lot."

Mashable discovered on Thursday that sending a message to Facebook founder Zuckerberg carries a $100 price tag. That's also what it costs to message Facebook COO Sheryl Sandburg , CFO David Ebersman, and several other Facebook members CNNMoney tried, such as Digg founder Kevin Rose.

What i did over the winter break was go to my aunts house and stay there for a while. My aunt lived near the mall so we went there a couple times just waste time and go shopping. When we went back home i spent all my time on the internet. I watched movies and got on tumblr for about a week straight. I wached a ton of movies. Most movies that i watched made me cry or laugh. My mom made some food for new years so we could eat. On New Years Eve i watched some show on tv and wached celeberties pefomr songs. I saw Jusin Bieber about 3 times and I saw Taylor Swift and Harry Styles New Year kiss a lot of people made a big deal out of it.

Mark Cuban fired off the one of the most expensive tweet in history on Saturday.

He was fined $50,000 for citizing the NBA.

Intel demands ultra books add touchscreens

Intel is adding a big new requirement for any computers that want to carry its "ultra book" branding: They'll have to include a touchscreen. A prototype the company showed off Monday at a Consumer Electronics Show presentation featured a detachable display, a form factor that Intel hopes will become common. The new ultra books will run on Intel's upcoming Haswell chips, which are the first processors designed specifically for ultra books. The processors can provide "all-day battery life" and are designed to work "naturally" with voice and touch.
