I don't think I am being controversial when I say that Facebook chat never really made it to the top of anyone's preferred chat application list. Granted, it was a late comer to the party and was always going to be behind the likes of Windows Live Messenger and AIM but with the number of active Facebook users recently breaching eight hundred million, one would assume that the chat feature would be highly thought of.
The December holiday period is arguably the busiest and most manic shopping time frame across the globe. Historically, millions of people around the world have taken to local high streets, outlets and shopping malls to buy gifts for family and loved ones. However, in recent times the global economic slow down, coupled together with the low costs provided by on line retailers has seen sales figures in physical shopping outlets decrease dramatically.
Sixty seconds seems like a relatively small period of time, if you asked me what I believe I could achieve in a sixty second time frame I would probably admit to it being not very much. So just what does happen around the world in one single minute?
Traditional pop, rock, alternative, electronica, rap, comedy - a small list of the categories contained within the Grammy Awards, each of which is intended to isolate a specific contribution to music.

Facebook’s long-awaited (or long-dreaded, really) major overhaul of the Facebook profile is finally here! The roll out began last week on December 7th and you should, by now, have received it. If you haven’t, though, you can check out how to get it right now after the jump!
Facebook might get something of a bad rap sometimes. Let's face it, if you're spending all day poking your friends - yes, that sounds as bad in text as it did in my head - then chances are you won't be pulling up any trees in school. At least, that's what we and half the planet probably thought.
Even if you fall on the Android side of the smartphone divide it is hard to argue - without coming across as a raving crazy person - that there isn't something a little crazy about the shear number of different Android devices out there. Be they from the likes of LG, HTC, Samsung, Motorola or anyone else, there are so many that naming each and every one of them just isn't getting any easier.
