A new app released “find my friends” allows iPhone users to track and locate friends who have agreed to share their location data with a trusted group of people. This app was said to be used to find your friends when u have lost them while at the beach, gold course or vacation. But as you all should know this does come with important privacy issues. This is why you have the option for who may or may not be able to see your location and when.

A man in New York decided to buy his wife a new iphone 4S and enabled location sharing. He had suspecting that she has been cheating. Upon tracking her he found her location confirming her lies.
“I got my wife a new 4s and loaded up find my friends without her knowing. She told me she was at her friends house in the east village. I’ve had suspicions about her meeting this guy who lives uptown. Lo and behold, Find my Friends has her right there. I just texted her asking where she was and the dumb b!otch said she was on 10th Street!! Thank you Apple, thank you App Store, thank you all. These beautiful treasure trove of screen shots going to play well when I meet her a$$ at the lawyer’s office in a few weeks.” He posted on MacRumors forum thread.
So make sure when you receive your iPhones this Christmas you check your location settings!

Samsung attorney, Kate Sullivan, was asked to identify which of the two tablets (ipad 2 and Galaxy 10.1) was the Galaxy Tab 10.1 while the judge held them above her head. Sullivan responded “Not at this distance, your honor.” While she stood only 10 feet away! It is shocking to find out that the lawyers cannot identify their own product. The judge then asked if one of the other lawyers can identify which tab was the Samsung, while one was able to quickly respond with the correct answer. Judge Koh decided that Samsung’s Galaxy-branded tablets do collide on some of Apple’s tablets, but Apple must still prove that their patents are valid under the law before she could grant Apple an injunction. . Koh wrote that she is unable to grant the injunction based on the “utility” patent Apple claims Samsung is infringing upon, but she is still considering three other design patents. If the lawyers of Samsung are unable to identify the tablet, this may have a hurt on their case.

Mike Sorrentino (The Situation) from the Jersey shore expected special treatment from the apple store in the Fashion Show Mall located in Las Vegas.

Hope he doesn’t go home and throw his head against the wall!

So, you want your girlfriend to get off your back about video games? Does she nag you that you play too much video games? Well, the best solution is to get her hooked on video games with you.
1. Picking the right game: Start off slow. No girl will want to start off with war games and shooting. The most appealing might be a Mario game, then after some time with that slowly move towards more action games. Find her interests, does she like the beach? Race boats instead of cars!
2. Staying in shape: She might always nag you to go to the gym. Introduce her to the Wii and tell her you are interested in starting an exercise program with her from home.
3. Make her Jealous: Brag about how all your friends girlfriends play video games with them and how cool and fun those girls are for playing video games with their boyfriends. (of course this isn’t true) but it will work.
4. Buy her stuff: She always complains that you never by her anything, so start buying her some things that have to do with video games. Maybe some Mario mushroom earrings or a Tetris bracelet.
5. Negotiate: Start to bribe her that if she will play video games with you, you will clean her room or watch her favorite show (even if it is keeping up with the Kardashians).
6. Dirty little secret: some girls might be ashamed of the fact of playing video games, so promise her that you will never tell any of her friends and that it will be your dirty little secret. This will excite her that you will have something to keep between each other.
7. Get crunk: As well all know, alcohol can get us all to do almost anything. So make a fancy night and pop some champagne, buy her some chocolate and then pull out the games !

Iran announced that they were planning on shooting a monkey into space with one of their Kavoshgar-5 rockets. Western officials were worried that the Islamic Republic was really just testing its own ability to create long-range ballistic missiles. Thankfully Iran has failed to send a rhesus monkey into Earth’s orbit. Iran postponed its plans on October 3rd to send a monkey into space. Iran has already sent a rat, turtles and worms to space by its Kavoshgar-3 rocket in 2010. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced that his country plans on putting a man into space by 2017.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services released a report earlier this month that nearly one in 10 Americans admit to regularly using illegal drugs. There is a drug arrest every 19 seconds in the U.S. Every day there is 4,320 people that get arrested because of drugs. Because of more than 1.6 million drug arrests in 2010, police and judges have been campaigning to legalize and regulate drugs. Since the declaration of the ‘war on drugs’ 40 years ago there has been tens of millions of people making an effort to reduce drug use. The fact that there has been another 1.6 million citizens last year that have been arrested in effort to reduce drug use shows that this is not working. In this current economy arresting so many people in the failed ‘war on drugs’ is becoming too pricey. Some people agree that legalizing and taxing drugs would be the best option. This would create new revenue in addition to the money from arresting users as well as making society safer by bankrupting the cartels and groups who control the current illegal marketplace. FBI reports show that 81.9 percent of all drug arrests in 2010 were for possession only, and 45.8 percent of all drug arrests were or possession of marijuana. Today the Mexican drug cartels are currently operating in more than a thousand cities in the United States. Two years ago the Mexican drug cartels were only in 230 U.S. cities.
