The ads use video shot in January 2012 and later on in the year when the participants had reached their weight-loss goals. For instance, the video above features Kimberley Vandlen, who lost more than 30 lbs. Vandlen has a tearful conversation with herself before and after that's both poignant and kind of weirdly reminiscent of Jeremiah McDonald, the guy who interviewed his 12-year-old self this summer. As the making-of video below demonstrates, Vandlen's weight loss didn't happen overnight… More About: Advertising |

This new tween duo has a fairly catchy, dubstep-y song about a hot new dance craze called the "skip rope." The video for the song also makes subtle nods to drug dealing and alcoholism.

| This is Why You Can’t Access Google Maps on Windows Phone Posted: 04 Jan 2013 03:20 PM PST
If you're a Windows Phone 8 user, chances are you are unable to access Google Maps in Internet Explorer. Attempting to access Google Maps from a Windows Phone device redirects the user to Google's main homepage. Earlier this afternoon, this behavior was noted by forum users on The Verge. We were able to confirm the behavior on our own Windows Phone devices and on a desktop web browser with a modified user-agent string. Sure enough, attempts to access maps.google.com or google.com/maps led to a redirect to the main Google homepage. Was this the latest move in a growing mobile feud between Microsoft and Google? It was curio… More About: Google, Google Maps, microsoft, webkit, windows phone, Windows Phone 8 |

In an e-mail to staffers, which was later reposted to Hulu's corporate blog, Kilar said he is coordinating with Hulu's board of directors "to ensure there is ample runway to manage this transition" and that his decision "has been one of the toughest [he's] ever made." Reports that Kilar planned to leave Hulu have been circulating for some time. An internal company memo obtained by Variety over the summer cited a plan to transition to a new CEO. At the time, the trade magazine speculated that Kilar was planning to leave as early as September 2012, the mont… More About: hulu, Jason Kilar, rich tom |

StickNFind solves that problem for you.

| Cruise Control App Matches Music With Your Running Pace Posted: 04 Jan 2013 11:55 AM PST
We've all been that person fiddling with our iPhone or other music player while on the treadmill. It might be worth the temporary lack of focus to change the song to something faster to pick up our pace, but it is still a hassle. A new app for iOS called Cruise Control bumps up the speed of your music or slows it down based on how fast you're moving. You can set your target pace in the app, and your music will adjust to that desired pace.

| Google’s Street View Car Starts Mapping Sandy Damage Posted: 04 Jan 2013 11:00 AM PST
The car's presence, first reported by the New York Post, triggered an outcry among some residents who don't want their wrecked homes on the Internet for all to see. Residents' complaints about the maps ranged from privacy issues to concerns about property value. However, at least one Staten Island local told the Post that Google's maps might generate more awareness and support. And Google will be making repeat visits as recovery continues -- New York City Mayor's Office Deputy Press Secretary Julie Wood said in a statement that Google… More About: Google, Google Maps, Hurricane Sandy, privacy, US |

Janell Burley Hofmann posted the contract on her blog. This post garnered a lot of varied reactions from readers. Some parents thought the contract was a great way to set clear guidelines for the young teen and help ensure he's a responsible smartphone user. Others said they didn't have a problem with the rules but were bothered by the fact she chose to publicize her rules online. And considering how permanent one's digital footprint is, this information could show up throughout her son's life whenever so… More About: cellphone, Children, iphone, Mobile, parenting, parents, smartphone |

Starting this spring -- and leading into further updates that will come later in 2013 -- players will be able to romance more than just the opposite sex. They'll be able to flirt with characters of the same gender, and eventually get to the point that the flirting evolves into a deeper relationship. It will begin with the launch of the Rise of the Hutt Cartel expansion pack, which will be released sometime in the next few months.
