Call it morbid, but I suppose there are a lot of people who want to leave something behind when they pass away. We never know when our lives will end, but there are ways and means by which we can make sure that what we want to say never gets left unsaid.

Enter ifidie, the Facebook app that offers people the chance to prepare messages that will get published on the social networking site even if they are already dead. Famous last words. Life after death (in a way). [Read more…] about ifidie Facebook App Gives Life After Death

Anyone who has had to fly coach probably has experienced the nightmare of having an incompatible seat mate. If you are the type who just likes to spend time sleeping, reading, or listening to music, the antagonist in the nightmare is the seat mate who just will not stop trying to chat you up. Even when you pointedly put your earphones on. If you are the kind who likes to meet new people and learn about them, then you might be the antagonist.

Finger pointing will not do any good, though, as we all are unique in our own ways. The only solution is to be tolerant of others, isn’t it?

Think again! If you’re lucky enough to have the option of flying Malaysia Airlines or KLM, you have a chance to pre-select your seat mate on the plane using social media. [Read more…] about Choose Your Next Airplane Seat Mate Using Social Media

Now if you have the iPhone, and you want something similar to the iPad 2’s smart cover, here is something that might catch your interest.

It’s called the TidyTilt, and it is a Kickstarter project that has 20 days to go. Just like many cool accessories, the idea behind TidyTilt is rather simple. It has a three-fold function. [Read more…] about TidyTilt: The Smart Cover for the iPhone

Have you ever had the problem of going out with friends for lunch or dinner, and then everyone just sits there tinkering with their phones? I think that we’ve all been in that situation. You might even be one of those who keeps checking your phone for messages. Or maybe you just like updating your online friends via Facebook, Twitter, or Google Plus. Whatever the case may be, a table full of people who are supposed to be out socializing with each other but instead are sitting there frantically pushing buttons or tapping screens defeats the entire purpose.

If you have been feeling bothered about this trend, which I think is occurring all over the world, here is a nifty solution: the phone stack.

What is the phone stack? It is a simple habit that you can introduce to your friends the next time you agree to meet in person. Here’s how you do it. [Read more…] about The Phone Stack: Solution to Being Anti-Social

Symbols of Kopimism

It’s for real, folks. I am not pulling your leg here. The country of Sweden has officially recognized a new religion that has its basis on file sharing! Now I have always thought of the Swedish people as being tolerant, but I never knew that they are this open minded. Imagine, a religion that is all about what many institutions consider illegal!

Dubbed the Church of Kopimism is new compared to the religions that we grew up with. It has been around for around a year, though and is 3,000-member strong. Just like other religions, the Church of Kopimism has symbols that it holds sacred. Do not laugh, for I am sure its members do not think it is a laughing matter, but their sacred symbols are CTRL+C and CTRL+V. I don’t need to expound on the meanings underlying these symbols, do I?
