Though we’ve all heard that there are future employers, spouses, and murderers who are going to look us up on Facebook to stalk our past indiscretions, how many of us can truly say that our Facebooks are rated PG? While I remember myself painstakingly deleting every picture with the slightest reference of alcohol before I entered college, once I arrived at Michigan, it seemed that every person I knew was tagged in some sort of waterfall or beer pong picture. Slowly, I stopped being so anxious about what went up in my albums; a shot glass here, a beer bottle there, etc. Sure, I still de-tagged pictures of myself chugging bottles or double-fisting shots, but it never occurred to me that the mere mention of alcohol in an album would hurt my good name.

Want to watch the Master golf tournament (which started today, BTW) but aren’t anywhere near a television? Fear not – you can now watch (some of) the Masters straight from your iPhone! The Masters iPhone app will show you live broadcast coverage of the holes 11, 12, 13, 15 and 16, plus on-demand video highlights at the end of each day of competition. It also gives you easy access to the “leaderboard, player scorecards, stats and bios, news updates, tournament photos, video archives, and a course map of August National Golf Club.”

Today, Apple implemented their latest iTunes tweek: tiered pricing. WTF is that, you ask? Well, on paper, it means that more popular songs will now go for $1.29, up from $0.99, and other, less in-demand songs will go for only $0.69. Seems reasonable enough. But really, all that ends up happening is that you get screwed out of $0.30 every time you want to download the newest hits off the radio (there still is radio, right?). And as for the $0.69 tracks – they seem to be extremely elusive. Even the techies over at Gizmodo had a hard time finding a single one! (more…)

This week, Microsoft announced the official release of their latest internet travesty: Internet Explorer 8. Honestly, I’m impressed. I would have never guessed that in 2009, Microsoft would still be attempting to improve one of the worst, most bug-riddled, ass-backwards and incomprehensible web browsers in the history of the Internet.

For the millions of dollars and man-hours they no doubt threw into this idiotic project, couldn’t they have just bought out another company and raped an already working product into the babbling, disjointed mess we’ve come to expect from Bill and his boys? It probably would have at least improved profit margins. But I suppose this is what they call “Perseverance.” I bet Bill’s got one of those inspirational posters hanging up right beside his desk.  (more…)

As if you needed another reason to drink, Foursquare iPhone application developers have created an iPhone app, which lets your friends know at which watering hole you’re downing some cold ones, and then awards you points for every additional bar you go to.

No only that, but if you try a new place, you get more points. If you’re the first to try a bar, again – more points! You can work your way all the way up to drinking trophies, which we’re guessing is somewhere around step six on your way to alcoholism… [via Gizmodo]

Nothing shakes a person’s foundation like being caught in a public place when a massive bathroom emergency hits, with no way to find a usable bathroom.

You panic, you sweat, your mouth runs dry as painful bubbles round bends in your irritated intestines causing you to fall to curl into a squatting fetal position on the side walk – needless to say, it’s not pretty.

But with the new Have2P iPhone app, all your problems are solved!

Using the phone’s internal GPS, this free application automatically finds available bathrooms in your vicinity in a matter of seconds. Additionally, the program:

• Scan helpful tips noted by others, like whether the restroom is for patrons only, if it has a changing table, and how clean it is
• An urgency detector senses when you (and the phone) are shaking and starts a fresh search for nearby restrooms
• Use restroom ratings for when you actually have a choice
• See restrooms on a map
• Add new restrooms to share with others
• Find other places nearby with expanded search capabilities
• Avoid businesses that have been flagged for having no public restrooms – saving you precious time
