Is Bigger Better? A Look at Samsung’s Galaxy Note II (Swipe)
Whenever I test a new gadget, I like handing it over to my non-tech friends to see what they think. That’s what I did the night I got the Galaxy Note II, Samsung’s update to its polarizing phone/tablet hybrid that will go on sale through T-Mobile and AT&T for around $299.99 with a two-year contract.
My friends had no idea what they were holding. Most were surprised when I told them it was actually a phone. That’s because the Note II is massive compared to other smartphones thanks to its 5.5-inch display, which is big enough to fit an entire iPhone 5 with plenty of glass still peeking out from either side. Add in the bezel and most humans won’t be able to operate this thing with one hand. It’s that huge.
Then there’s the stylus, which Samsung calls the S Pen, a relic of the Palm Pilot era that has been modified with nifty tricks beyond just writing and doodling. For example, the S Pen can detect how hard you press on the screen and act as a mouse cursor for hovering over drop-down menus on websites.
So the Note II is big. But is it worth buying? Here’s a look at how it performs.

HTC Takesover Beats Electronics For $300 Million
So it looks like smartphone maker HTC has bought the lion’s share of Dre’s Beats Electronics for $300 million. Beats Electronic is the maker of the famous Beats By Dre headphones and it was started by Jimmy Iovine and Dr Dre. This is a major power move by both parts. My only hope is that HTC figures out a way to make their batteries last throughout the day. Because if I am listening to my Droid phone with Beats By Dre on speaker phone, I want it to last the length of the song before I get the low battery warning.
Can Facebook Help Save Money On Your Texting Bill??
Facebook has jumped into the messaging business with its new phone app. The app allows users to send messages and texts through the 750-million-member social network, and it updates in real-time, so there’s no need to refresh to see if you’ve received new messages. The app, Facebook Messenger, will use your Facebook friends contact information and send messages either through its messaging system or SMS.

3 Mobile Apps To Help Find CHEAP Gas!!(Swipe)
By John Simons
Energy analysts see more price hikes ahead. Three-quarters of Americans drive to and from work (alone). So it makes sense that the average car-owner uses about 550 gallons of gas per year, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s most recent data. At a price of, say, $4-per-gallon, many of us are spending about $2,200 a year on gasoline. Until we’re all zipping in electric cars, the best way to economize (apart from driving less) is to make sure we’re getting the best price for gas.
To help you manage the rising price of gas, I recommend these three mobile apps that can help you find the lowest gas prices wherever you happen to be driving:
1) GasBuddy, available for free on BlackBerry, iPhone, Android, and Windows devices.
2) Fuel Finder, a $2.99 iPhone-only app that promises to save you about $300 a year.
3) AAA TripTik Mobile, a free iPhone and Android app.
If you don’t use a smartphone, you can get the same information by visiting Gasbuddy.com, autos.msn.com/everyday/gasstationsbeta.aspx, or gasprices.mapquest.com.
Each of the apps and websites work virtually the same: punch in the name of the city or town you’re in (or the zip code), and the app spits out a map showing the location of several nearby gas stations along with their current per gallon price for “regular” gas. When I entered my own zip code in New Jersey, MSN’s tool, for instance, displayed about 12 gas stations within a five-mile radius of my home. Prices at these local pumps ranged anywhere from a high of $4.08 to a comparatively cheap $3.69. Guess where I’m filling up next time the tank’s empty?
You Know You Balling When You Cop a 18k Gold Cell Phone
You know life is good when you can buy a 18k gold phone. The Vertu Constellation Quest will set you back over $17,000. But if you asking the price, then you probably can’t afford one.
