A Social Network that Pays You
There is a new social network called Chime.in. It lets people create pages about their interests and they get paid for the resulting or revenue that they collect. It was created so that people who like a certain thing can interact with other people who have the same interests.
This new network plans on giving people 50 percent commission or let them sell their own ads. The site resembles facebook but is also like twitter because the status is the main attraction and that users can follow anyone without having to friend request others.
It launched in october in BETA but it is said to be offically launched at the end of this year. So far they say there are about 5,000 users using Chime.in and it looks to be rapidly increasing.

iPhone 4S flaw
The new and most wanted item to come out of Apple has a flaw. A large number of customers angerly contacted Apple complaining that the battery life of their phone was poor. Their phones which should last up to a day would die within a few hours, which is abnormal. The Apple company went to work to find the problem with the new phone. They found a few bugs causing the problem and sent out an update to the phones that will fix the issue.
However, the phones still will drain energy but just not as quickly. The article talks about tips of help decrease the drainage. First, lower the lights on your ipod so that it is not as bright. Then make your auto-lock time to one minute. The more time that your phone is locked the less time will be being used and lose energy. Also, another big tip is to turn off the wifi on your phone if you are not using it. Hopefully Apple creates a better way so that their phone will have a great battery and the life of the phone won't end so quickly.
