I found this and many other unique images on Pinterest - very unique and different than everything else out there.

I'm sure many of you, like myself, do not enjoy the carbon copy pinterest sites filled with fancy meals and diy projects. (I do love some of the diy ideas -- but sometimes they get a bit.. out there.)

Anyways, these artist's pins are different and you should definately check it out. Click here to go to Pinterest now...

Copy & paste images to Facebook



No more saving and uploading images! 

Say it isn't so.

And very simple to do.

How to:

* On the image you wish to put on Facebook right click and select "Copy image url"

* Go to Facebook and select "upload picture"

* Paste the url  into the file name  - the image url you just copied

* Select "Okay" and then "Upload" whatever you normally do to upload something

* Viola.


Piece of cake.

Thanks to  from CNET - first place I discovered this simple Facebook "trick"

Wal-Mart can be a pain in the ass but DAMN!

The following is a comment made to a news article. I do not know this man. 





"I NEED TO CALM DOWN......TRUE STORY TODAY....A DAY IN MY LIFE. MAYBE I AM INSANE.
True story, 1 hr ago. I JUST EXPOLDED AT CASHIER AND WALMART MGR.
So I go to Walmart for groceries, and buy half and half. IM AM A LABEL READER, yes fine print. too. I treat foods like perscription drugs, got to read and memorize to PDR report on porducts, compulsiive habit.
So THIS AMERICAN PRODUCT IN AN AMERICAN STORE, IN AMERICA, MADE BY AMERICAN COWS THAT I HOPE ATE AMERICAN GRASS GROWN ON AMERICAN SOIL ( HALF AND HALF CREAMER) HAS SPANISH WRITING ON IT THAT I CANT READ.
So I ask a lady with a screaming kid, "excuse me maam, I'm an American, and cant read this, can you help me? She says, no, I'm an American too. SO I go to check out and ask the cashier, what does this term mean? She says I don't know, I'm American. So I call the mgr over (yes I'm like that) sir, what does this mean? He says he doesn't know? SO WHILE HOLDING A HALF GALLON OF HALF AND HALF, I HAVE A FIT, RANTING ABOUT HOW DO I KNOW THIS IS NOT A RAT POISON WARNING ON THE LABEL.
MGR says I think it says white cream in "Mexican". By this time I see security walking my way, "AND OF COURSE, I OBNOXIOUSLY SAY PLEASE DOn't INSUT ME BY CALLING THESE PANZIES SOME KIND OF SECURITY FORCE, I DESREVE BETTER..
SO SAY TO HIM I THINK IT SAYS RAT POINSON ON IT in Spanish.. ARE YOU SURE IT SAYS CREAM. iF I DRINK THIS AND DIE, CAN MY FAMILIY LOOK FOR YOU. He says no sir I'm not sure what it says,, please don't quote me sir. THE OTHER FOLKS IN A BUSY WALMART CLAPPED FOR ME. I BOWED, bought the milk, said thank you and went home."

You Have Been a Bad Little Search Engine Google ;)

FTC Means Business...
Google's Legal Battles Continue.

google

Google got hit with a $22.5 million fine for Safari tracking courtesy of the FCC. It's the largest penalty ever for a violation of an FTC order.

Is this some kind of scare tactic, making an example out of Google so that others know the FTC means business? It seems a little harsh, but the invasion of someones privacy is serious business. I think Google had good intentions though. 

"No matter how big or small, all companies must abide by FTC orders against them and keep their privacy promises to consumers, or they will end up paying many times what it would have cost to comply in the first place."
Read the entire (updated) article here at CNET.com
This won't be the last time we hear about Google and personal privacy, this is only the beginning. What the future holds for the search engine turned powerhouse, only time will tell.

The internet can be use as a great resource. Yes.. it is used other than a place to get free porn. If you have a busy lifestyle it can prove difficult to keep up. but it really  is a wonderful invention.

Trending.
You have heard the term if you've surfed the web anytime recently. Internet Fads. You can't help but be sucked into their trendy little webs. 



"Trending" is a mutilation of the English language that means "currently popular." It derives from a sad misunderstanding of the verb "to trend" as meaning "to become a trend." (Defined at Urban Dictionary)


The trend topic today however is good for your wallet. And yet so simple.

The trend? PRINTABLE COUPONS.

Every major retailer offers them. Perhaps an incentive to gain an edge over the competitors, printable coupons are now used everyday at every store imaginable. Not everyone will take the time to print them out or get a sales flyer to get them, so it's those people putting the extra effort in who are getting the savings.

One site that has done very well with their free pintable coupons is Childrens Place, a childrens clothing store (online and off). They give discounts on merchandise or point of sale to satisfy their customers who love their one of a kind clothing and accessories for kids.




Finding printable coupons is easy. Just type "children's place printable coupon" into Google's search engine... or whatever store you would like to save money at. You will be amazed at all the money saving offers you were missing out on!

Here's an example of a printable coupon website. They offer the latest coupons and general news on the company.

Many printable coupons are only good for a certain time period or have other exclusions you need to be aware of.
