1. Smile, Your Photo Is Up On Times Square. For fame-seekers, this is an opportunity not to be missed. You get only ten seconds of feeling like a celebrity, and your photo may not be approved. But who knows, if Lady Luck is smiling at you, you are on your way to stardom.

2. We all live in public now, get used to it. I have long ago accepted that privacy is dead on the net, regardless of whether you adjust your facebook privacy or not. Seeing all the over-sharing on social networks, people are giving privacy short shrift instead of treasuring it.

3. Ten gadgets that define the decade. You have to hand it to Engadget to list down the ten most influential gadgets of the noughties.

4. Wavebox Portable Microsoft Oven. Heat up your food on the go.. but make sure you keep an eye on the road while munching on the burrito.

5. Nexus One, aka Google Phone, more questions than answers. Pricing, apps and strategy… pertinent questions asked by Zdnet of Google Phone.  Well, I don’t care much about strategy but I do know it will be hard to top the iPhone in terms of its usage and sleek design.
