In The News 05-18-2012 Kiss Your Unlimited Data Goodbye Do you currently have an unlimited data plan through Verizon? Well, that most likely won't be the case anymore the next time you upgrade. Verizon Wireless is planning on forcing customers into tiered data plans when they upgrade next. This will also be followed up with a plan to create "data shares" over a plan. Shared data will be accessible to all devices on a single account. Up until now Verizon has allowed unlimited data users to keep their plan when they upgrade to a new phone. This was a big deal since they stopped offering new unlimited data plans nearly a year ago. This will come as a big shock to so-called "power users" that take full advantage of unlimited data. The previous unlimited plan cost $30 per month. The existing tiered plans only allow 2 GB a month of data for the exact same price. There's no word yet what the pricing will be on shared data plans, but Verizon is starting to realize the demand and usage for data is increasing, especially with more and more devices using 4G-LTE. Currently Sprint is the only national carrier that allows its new customers to have an unlimited data plan. Facebook Thinks You're Worth $1.21 How much does Facebook think you're worth to them? Well, in purely financial terms, only a buck twenty-one. This number is based on Facebook's sales of over $1 billion per quarter (three months) and its 900 million users. Compared to other tech and communications companies, that number is extremely low. Companies such as Verizon Wireless ($160.98/quarter), AT&T ($507.00/quarter, and Comcast ($430.20/quarter) each bring in well over $100 per customer in a quarter. The big difference here is that Facebook makes money off its users via advertising, while the previously mentioned companies offer direct services we pay for. It could be worse, however. Microsoft? You're only worth $0.81. Twitter? $0.74. Think about that next time you fire up your Windows PC or send that tweet. ~Mike Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version

Videos Near Me for YouTube Let's admit it, YouTube is the new Cable and we are all addicted to it. However there comes a time for everyone when we are out of ideas on what to watch. The recommendations seem all repeated, and the brain can't come up with what to search for… Well, how would you like to watch some videos that were shot near you instead? 'Videos Near Me' is a webapp which aggregates videos based on location using their Geo Tags. You start with selecting your location on the google map. By default, Google Maps pre-determines a ballpark location for you – all you have to do is tweak it to make it precise. Once your location is set, the site pulls out all the videos on YouTube that were shot around where you live. It's pretty fascinating, and you might even learn something new about where you live. A pretty novel way to see what's going on around you, indeed! I had no idea that there was a crazy carpet crawling Kitty living near me. How have I lived so long in the same area without knowing it, I simply can't Fathom! ~Yogesh Bakshi Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version Do you have a question for us? Ask it here!

Since I learned to knit last summer, I've been obsessed with the craft. I love anything and everything knitting related, but the idea of mixing science (specifically in this case physics) with knitting makes me geek out!
