I’ve ceased being one of the few. I am now part of the many. Yes, that’s right. About a month ago I was sucked into the Farmville craze against my will. But I’m not one of those in-your-face Farmville players. Whenever I’m asked if I want to share with friends, I usually decline… most of the time. In fact, I can pin down the exact moment I became a fan of all thing farms. Well, anyway, if you’re here because... Continue reading

I’m always curious why some Facebook users are so guarded that they refuse to put any sort of profile picture, period. I can understand not wanting to put a picture of yourself, but at least uploading some sort of image to catch our attention would be nice. These creative “No Photo” Facebook pics take the ‘fault’ out of default. Why settle for standard anonymity when you can project an image of power, such as Batman or Spock. Hit the jump...

The loss of a loved one is never easy, but there’s something particularly difficult about losing family around the holidays. Fellow geek Declan became the victim of one of the worst losses a GEARhead can suffer — the loss of a gaming console, as is intelligently described by the man himself via Facebook. “Ma xbox is fukd.” And only days before Christmas, I might add. Fukd, indeed. I’d like us all to just take a moment of silence to reflect... Continue reading

So, here’s the deal. Chris sounds like a pretty cool kid, if not a little bit of a dick. Apparently his sister Katie told their parents that Chris was hiding a 12 pack of booze in his room. His parents, being typically strict Asian parents, grounded Chris for three months. For revenge, Chris went searching through Katie’s room for some dirt. And he found a doozy. Katie had composed a list of fellow students she was planning on hooking up... Continue reading

There’s something about vintage-styled book covers that really grabs your attention. Especially when the vintage style meets modern technology. What if modern web services happened to be books from the 60s? Don’t ask me how, just pretend that by some stretch of the imagination, these web services were inspired by vintage books. The resulting book covers would have likely looked something like this.

Sure, this couple meant their little prank as a  joke and it was actually pretty damn funny, especially since they got the priest involved, but how long until this is actually common place? I can definitely see this becoming some sort of wacky trend and eventually, a tradition. I now pronounce you man and wife, you may change your status. Link

Using a specially modified Samsung ST-1000 point-and-shoot digital camera, Nonja the Orangutan, currently a resident of the Schönbrunn Zoo in Austria, snaps photos of herself, which are automatically sent to her Facebook wall. Currently standing at over 20,000 fans, Nonja’s Facebook page is becoming sort of a sensation as it provides a new prospective into the life of apes. Or at least the life of an ape. Even if this ape is being lured into taking photos with a special... Continue reading

Alright, I can totally get the whole Snuggie thing. As embarrassed as I am to admit it, I not only own one, but I use it regularly and love the hell out of it. But, dude, Twilight, for real? We’ve already seen what it would take to make Twilight interesting, and it ain’t pretty. Link

This is just a bit creepy, no? Facebook will keep the page of a deceased user active as long as the family wishes to memorialize the deceased. These memorial pages will be different from normal profiles. All contact information will be removed and people will be barred from logging into the account. The only users who will be able to find these profiles in search are the users confirmed friends. These profiles will also no longer appear in the “Suggestions”... Continue reading
