The much anticipated movie The Social Network a.k.a. “the Facebook Movie,” is quickly approaching with its scheduled October release date. Directed by David Fincher (Seven, Fight Club) and starting Jesse Eisenberg (Zombie Land), the second trailer uses a Facebook style conversation to paint a picture of what the main story could revolve around.

Remember the old days, when website sign-up forms looked like the one below? To get a handle on the makeup of your audience you needed to find out who your user was, where they were from, and a number of other personal details. The only way to get that information used to be to ask your users up front — a request that many probably didn't feel comfortable with. Nowadays, it's much easier to obtain that information without even asking your users directly.

Aside from the great restaurants, parks and shopping, there’s another reason why Brooklyn is the bee’s knees: it attracts comedians like nobody’s business. We love to laugh at AD:60, so naturally, we like to hit up local open mics after work. Affordable living and an accessible open mic scene make Brooklyn a prime location for comedians looking to get their start.

We love watching the city go by from our windows. The culture, atitude and just overall ambiance breathing from this city can only be experienced. A short film to capture what we see everyday.

Brooklyn isn't just a resting place for bridge-and-tunnel commuters anymore — neighborhoods like DUMBO are infused with art and culture and filled with places to eat, drink and socialize.

If you've been around a computer or in front of a TV today, you've probably heard all about the iPhone 4. Apple's latest update to its flagship phone is due out June 24, and its packed full of new features. One of the most interesting of those features is video capability. With the inclusion of two video cameras, one on each side of the device, the iPhone 4 seems like it could be a legitimate video conferencing tool. Apple's website advertises the video feature as a friend-to-friend tool, not an asset for businesses, but it's logical to think the next step could be the iPhone as a valuable tool for businesses engaging in video conferencing.

Ever since Apple's CEO Steve Jobs published his memo on why flash is a dead medium, entitled "Thoughts on Flash" (link), Adobe has voiced their opinion by responding with multiple ways, highlighting things most programmers stand by, such as "choice" and "open markets". Though, I have to agree with their statement, Two weeks ago, Steve Jobs published his now infamous “Thoughts on Flash” memo on Apple.com. Adobe has now responded with its own message, a message of “love,” “choice” and “open markets.” In addition to the post on its own website, Adobe has also placed display ads (created in Flash, naturally) on Engadget and The New York Times, and taken out a full-page ad in The Washington Post outlining its position and what it thinks consumers should know.

Welcome to DUMBO! It's got cobbled streets, music venues and a healthy rotation of food trucks. At least 20% of the people Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass work in the arts, which gives it the highest amount of creative capital in the City. Just one stop into Brooklyn, this warehouse-district-turned-neighborhood is our daily home, where we get to flex our creative muscles. Though we get the pleasure of enjoying this great location everyday of the year, we thought it was about time we shared it with you. So, taking advantage of the little down time we have, we grabbed our camera, some tape and a car - and drove around this great neighborhood to give you a tour of an area that boasts some of the best views of the Manhattan skyline....oh, and sorry for the shaky camera, those cobble roads are rough.

The new Lexus LFA sports car was revealed at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit this past week, with the modest price tag of $350,000. You would think at that price, and with the fact that there are only 500 on the market, they would be hoping to unload them to the highest bidder.
