Pocket Will Have You Grabbing Content by the Handful
I've been playing around with Pocket, a not-so-new app which may have undergone one of the smartest name changes in the history of the App Store -- previously Pocket was known as "Read It Later." The app basically lets you snag content that you find online and store it in a handy way for reading or viewing at some point in the future.

Google Releases Full Report of FCC Investigation Into Street View Probe, Finds That Senior Staff Knew
Earlier today Google released the full report of the FCC's investigation into the collection of? "payload data" from open Wi-Fi networks -- aka passwords, email and search history from open networks -- that its fleet of Street View cars obtained between 2008 and April 2010. An earlier and heavily redacted version of the report was released on April 15 but today's version only redacted the names of individuals. The report found no violation of any wrong doing by the company because there was no legal precedent on the matter. The FCC found that Google did not violate the Communications Act citing the fact that Wi-Fi did not exist when it was written. However,?the FCC did fine Google $25,000 for obstructing the investigation, which was presumably the outcome of Google refusing to show the FCC what the data being collected entailed because it might have shown that the company broke privacy and wiretapping laws. Google says any obstruction was result of the FCC dragging out the investigation. Interestingly enough, the report did reveal that the data harvesting was not the act of a rogue engineer and that said engineer notified the Street View team of what was going on. (Wait. What? Google knew this was going on! It gets even better.)eagle cam us soccer amare stoudemire trayvon martin case affordable care act the line bobby brown arrested

Snooki Wants Baby Before Wedding
'I'm not even ready for it yet,' the 'Jersey Shore' star tells MTV News of her wedding plans.

Snooki may be planning for her baby, but she certainly isn't planning her wedding just yet. The pint-sized reality starlet wants to welcome her first-born into the world before she officially becomes Mrs. Jionni LaValle.
"I mean, I do have a dream wedding," she confessed to MTV News on Thursday in New York City, with her "Jersey Shore" besties JWoww and Pauly D by her side. "But I definitely don't even want to talk about it or think about it because I'm not even ready for it yet. I just want my baby first."
JWoww confirmed that the ever-expanding Snooki hasn't put much planning into her wedding. "She's in pregnancy mode," Jenni added.
In footage from "Snooki & JWoww" shown to the Media on Thursday, Snooki drops the bombshell on her friend that she is both pregnant and engaged. While it seems JWoww is momentarily shaken, one ultrasound later, everyone seems on board for the baby. Though, there are still plenty of antics to be had, and they include the ladies apartment hunting, torturing their respective beaus and, yes, even hitting up a club or two for a night of dancing.
"I was very excited [when we found out about the baby]. I don't know if I was more excited for what's to come or the fact that we finally moved in together," JWoww said of learning that there'd be another roommate in the house, growing inside her little friend. "But it's not a dull moment. All of us, all eight of us [are going to help out]. It's gonna have a lot of aunts and uncles."
Snooki said the pregnancy may not have been in the reality-show plan, but they made it work. "When we film, it's all about reality and what's going on in our life," she said. "So it's not like we're going in there and staging things. It's what's really going on in our life. It just so happens that I got pregnant while [we were filming]."

DIY hack uses Google Calendar to automate home heating system (video)
Sure, Google Calendar is helpful, but ultimately it's on you to get yourself to that meeting. Wouldn't it be nice if the utility could handle some of the to-do list itself? Hack A Day scoped out an example of it doing just that, after a home owner named Shane posted a video of his DIY system that uses Calendar to control his heater. First, he connected a USB-powered mbed microcontroller with an ARM Cortex M3 processor to the internet via an Ethernet cable. As it happens, the mbed also has a temperature controller and solid state relay for turning the heater on and off. On the software side, he took advantage of a feature in the Google API that let him sync the mbed's network time, with the mbed able to "see" in advance what temp changes are scheduled on the calendar. In other words, if turning on the heater is on the schedule, the mbed system knows it and makes it happen. In a brilliant act of disaster prevention, Shane also tweaked the on-board temperature controller to not go above a certain number of degrees. For more technical details, check out the video below and the photos at the source link.

Mac Miller isn't ready to start working on his sophomore album just yet, but he does have a few projects in the works. And though the Pittsburgh MC wouldn't give much detail when he appeared on Wednesday's episode of "RapFix Live", he did drop a clue about one of these projects.
"Everyone needs to pay attention for when the words 'pink slime' surface, just don't even worry about it right now," Mac teased while sitting on the "RFL" couch.
He wouldn't reveal whom he is working with on the "pink slime" project, but Miller did confirm that it is a collaborative effort. "I'ma just say, just keep watch — he's gonna be pissed that I'm saying this, but you're not gonna know who it is," he said.
Well, if "he's gonna be pissed," then that rules out a tag-team tape with Nicki Minaj right? Maybe it's her Young Money boss Lil Wayne; after all he did appear on Miller's on Macadelic mixtape. Then again, so did Cam'ron, Juicy J and Kendrick Lamar.
There is no release date for "pink slime," but it will come before Mac's Blue Slide Park follow-up. "As far as the album, to be honest, I haven't even thought about it yet," he said. "I need some time, man; I need to put together something. I'm releasing music, I have songs on songs on songs; I record every day."
Whom do you think Mac Miller is working with on his "pink slime" project? Tell us in the comments.
