Pssst. Hey, you. Yeah, you. Wanna buy some Mars? This is no bridge sale, son, it's the real deal. Just £520 per gram and you can own your own little bit of the Red Planet.

USB thumb drives that are bigger than my hard drive circa 2001 are great. Waiting 5, 10, 15 minutes for the files to move to that USB 2.0 drive isn't so great. Now that USB 3.0 is becoming a common thing in laptops and devices, we can finally get faster flash drives as well.

I couldn't have imagined that stitching together one second of video for each day of 2011 would be this incredible. And there's just no way I could love this 365 second year-in-a-life any more than I already do.
We all have the friend or family member that's awesome in the real world, but on Facebook will. Not. Shut. Up. We get it, you love Ron Paul. Here's a simple way to extract them from your feed without having to unfriend them.
iOS already has Twitter's DNA woven into its own code, which is nice for posting things from various other apps into the 140-character social network. But as some code monkeys have discovered in a recent beta, it looks like Facebook will be getting the same treatment in future versions of iOS.
