IT'S MONDAY, NOVEMBER 8TH, I'M NATALI DEL CONTE AND IT'S TIME TO GET LOADED.
[*]
IF YOU'RE A PARENT, YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH DIAPERS-DOT-COM.
ITS GREAT.
AMAZON KNOWS THAT TOO.
THEY JUST PURCHASED THE PARENT COMPANY FOR THE SITE FOR $540-MILLION.
DIAPERS-DOT-COM IS A GREAT SITE THAT SELLS MORE THAN JUST DIAPERS.
THEY SELL ALL THINGS BABY AND HAVE FREE NEXT-DAY-SHIPPING, JUST LIKE A LOT OF OTHER AMAZON PRODUCTS.
I THINK IT'S A GOOD FIT AND I KNOW WAY TOO MUCH ABOUT DIAPERS THESE DAYS.
[*]
GOOGLE IS TESTING A PRODUCT THAT LETS YOU RECORD GOOGLE VOICE CALLS FROM WITHIN GMAIL.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE GOOGLE VOICE SET UP WITHIN YOUR GMAIL BUT IF YOU DO, YOU CAN NOW RECORD THE CALLS THAT YOU MAKE IN YOUR INBOX.
ONCE THE CONVERSATION IS OVER, THE CALL WILL BE SAVED ONLINE FOR YOU TO ACCESS IN YOUR GOOGLE VOICE INBOX.
AS FAR AS USING IT TO INCRIMINATE SOMEONE, I'M ASSUMING YOU STILL HAVE TO GET YOUR CALLER'S PERMISSION FOR THIS OR ELSE THE CALL IS INADMISSABLE IN A COURT OF LAW, RIGHT?
[*]
YOU KNOW HOW FACEBOOK ASKS YOU TO SIGN INTO YOUR GOOGLE ACCOUNT TO PULL GMAIL FRIENDS FOR INVITATIONS?
YEAH GOOGLE DOESN'T WANT THAT ANYMORE.
GOOGLE HAS CHANGED THEIR LICENSING SO THAT FACEBOOK CAN'T DO THAT ANYMORE.
THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN'T ADD CONTACTS FROM YOUR GMAIL.
IT JUST MEANS THAT YOU HAVE TO DO IT MANUALLY.
YOU CAN STILL DO IT AUTOMATICALLY WITH HOTMAIL AND YAHOO MAIL.
[*]
THE BLACKBERRY TORCH IS NOW ONLY $99 AND COMES IN TWO NEW COLORS.
YOU CAN STILL GET IT IN BLACK BUT YOU CAN ALSO GET ONE IN RED OR WHITE.
THE $99 PRICE TAG DOES COME WITH A CONTRACT ON AT&T.
[*]
A CHINESE COMPANY IS SAID TO BE ANNOUNCING THE FIRST COLOR E-INK DISPLAY.
OF COURSE THEIR ARE COLOR EREADERS LIKE THE NOOK AND THE IPAD BUT THOSE ARE LCD SCREENS.
THE HANVON EREADER WILL HAVE A 9-INCH COLOR TOUCHSCREEN AND LAUNCH IN CHINA FOR ABOUT $440.
IT WILL HAVE WI-FI AND 3G.
[*]
IF YOU HAVE FACEBOOK FRIENDS THAT YOU WANT TO QUIT, WAIT UNTIL NOVEMBER 17.
JIMMY KIMMEL, THE TALKSHOW HOST, HAS DECLARED NOVEMBER 17 NATIONAL UNFRIEND DAY.
ON THAT DAY, WE ARE ALL TO REMOVE FRIENDS WHO WE REALLY DON'T WANT TO BE OUR FRIENDS ANYMORE.
NOT VERY SUBTLE BUT I'M SURE THAT WOULD BE SO SATISFYING.
[*]
HERE IS SOMEONE YOU SHOULDN'T UNFRIEND: THE QUEEN.
HER ROYAL HIGHNESS LAUNCHED AN OFFICIAL FACEBOOK PRESENCE TODAY ON BEHALF OF THE BRITISH MONARCHY.
IT ISN'T A PERSONAL PAGE SO I DOUBT SHE'LL BE DOING ANY MOBILE UPLOADS OR LIKING YOUR PHOTOS.
IT IS A PORTAL FOR RECIEVING UPDATES FOR THE MONARCHY.
WHICH IS LESS FUN.
[*]
THE IPOD NANO WATCH BAND.
KIND OF NERDY.
KIND OF COOL.
THE HEX BAND COSTS $25 AND IT LETS YOU SNAP THE NEW NANO RIGHT INTO IT AND WEAR IT AS A WATCH.
YOU CAN FIND IT AT SHOP-HEX-DOT-COM.
[*]
THOSE ARE YOUR HEADLINES FOR TODAY.
I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.
