Twitter:The easiest way for twitter is definitely http://twitterfeed.com/ just make an account and follow the steps.Facebook:You could use the same site as the twitter site but Facebook keeps changing their code. Instead, follow this:http://www.facebook.com/notes/penny-butler/how-to-import-rss-feed-into-facebook-fan-page/10150170331180626Just as a tip: If Facebook doesn't accept your link, click the back button and then forward.

Have you ever been on the computer at some obscure hour and with every click you feel like you're either going to A: Wake someone up, B: Piss them off. Regardless of the reason, we accept the noise because it is such a precedent with all mice.Well, not all. For example: The Magic Mouse.Then there's the trackpad, which still never solved the problem on certain computers.Don't even get me started with keyboards... Some modern keyboards are...

Recently, someone gave me a pretty nice looking Dell Inspiron 530S to fix it's extremely slow setup.I immediately realized you need a keyboard (See why) and that it takes 5 minutes to startup:Besides that being extremely annoying, that's not much of a problem. Then I noticed the shutdown time, which should be a few seconds. Instead, I timed it to 8 minutes, 50 seconds!After CCleaner, Malaware Bytes, Speed My PC, and updated hardware drivers and bios, I realized this computer needed much more then just that.I backed everything up and did...

Innocent right? I have seen up to 17 trackers. In this image, it only found 10.Edit: Another site shows 30 trackers! In the extension's description, it shows an image with 21 tr...

Ok, so I don't have a keyboard at the moment, so what right? WRONG. Dell apparently thinks you need one at all times and there is no possible way that a computer could ever have a virtual keyboard or anythingBetter yet, Dell decided to not have a timer on such problem but require you to press a key! Are you kidding me?Nice one de...

I would expect to see something that looks similar to this on a Windows machine, not on my beloved Ubuntu Netbook.The error that appeared when I plugged in my iPhone said:"Unable to mount James' iPhone""DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)""Device 'James' iPhone' is password protected.

1. Why would someone go to a store and not bring anything to carry here items in it? (Ex: Car, motorcycle, etc)2. Why would that person need Google Maps to go to the local Target3.

Here is what I came up with:To whom it may concern, On behalf of the recent events Google Inc....Just Kidding. I can tell this company has a good sense of humor and that it is not necessary to write in such a formal way. I am writing this letter because I have taken much interest in the Google Notebook since day one and I would like to submit an application in more personal way. I'm writing this letter on a computer that has already restarted at random occurrences twice, and I have only just begun. Luckily for me, I am writing this using Google...

This competition however is only of tech humor though.Here's why: http://wellbebackshortly.com/all/ posts all of Tumblr's server down messages. These messages are now past 100 and more are coming at your expense. Sucks for all those people who live on tumblr, not me!

Update! The Market now comes WITH your Nook! When I first got my hands on a Nook Color: BORING!I don't understand why any company would spend a large sum of money for a tablet that they would limit it's functionality to only eBooks, suduko and the web. To make it all better, they added a full accelerometer to it with no more function then to change orientation!Meanwhile, some great people knew it could do more. They got an unlocked version of Android on the thing. Here's how to do it without any hassle:http://forum.xda-develope...

While not all homeless people are famous, many aren't sad either. Every year when I go camping I pass a small town in VT called Brattleboro. There, a homeless man lives in a tent, with a Stovepipe for heat, along the railroad. He tells many stories of how he was a stock broker in NYC and so on. The people support him and his simple life. I love to hear stories, and this man had plenty. I said goodbye and I was on my way. Some people are quiet but they are screaming with great stories, just waiting for you to hear th...
