AOL new blog news look
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Time Warner Inc. plans to launch a test of its overhauled news portal on Tuesday, drawing influences from the uncluttered design of popular Internet blogs.
The online division of the world’s largest media company said it aimed to keep readers returning and to introduce a new generation of media consumers to the site by offering more interactive features such as polls and voting features and user-created news on one page.
Slide, the San Francisco company that lets you create photo slideshows that you can embed in blogs and other sites, has acquired a specialty company called Favorite Peeps. While the purported purchase price was piddling, it suggests a land grab may be under way by companies developing applications for Facebook.
Perhaps not as crazy as it might sound: the reported price is only $60,000. But nonetheless, the fact that the Favorite Peeps widget just got acquired by Slide – a company keen to dominate the Facebook apps market as it faces the uncertainty of MySpace’s widget policy – shows that the frenzied activity around the Facebook platform is paying off for some developers.
CircleUp, a service that lets you send questions by email to groups as large as hundreds or thousands of people, and then collect and organize answers on a single page, has raised $3 million in a first round of financing.
CircleUp, the polls creator, has released an embeddable MyQuestions widget to accompany its existing service, combining the functions of an instant messenger with a Q&A forums.
Activate your iPhone with iTunes
CUPERTINO, California and ATLANTA—June 26, 2007—Apple® and AT&T Inc. today announced that iPhone™ users will be able to activate their new iPhones using Apple’s popular iTunes® software running on a PC or Mac® computer in the comfort and privacy of their own home or office, without having to wait in a store while their phone is activated.

Once iPhone is activated, users can then easily sync all of their phone numbers and other contact information, calendars, email accounts, web browser bookmarks, music, photos, podcasts, TV shows and movies just like they do when they sync their iPods with iTunes.
“Usually it can be done in less than 20 minutes, but it can take several hours depending on your carrier,” Apple said.
To make the switch, customers will need to enter into the latest version of iTunes their existing mobile phone number, their existing mobile account number, billing zip code, and password (if applicable).

tennis ball will open your car door
Lock your keys in the car? Apparently you can retrieve them with a tennis ball. The trick involves drilling or burning a hole in the tennis ball and then using muscle to force enough air pressure into the door to pop the lock.
