Study: iPhone, Android & BlackBerry Users Ranked On Optimism

What People Are Really Doing Online [Infographic]
It's quite weird to think that just 20 years ago almost no one knew what the Internet was. It wasn't widely spread back then. Well, the geeks knew what it was, so maybe it is kind of reckless to say that to you guys knowing that most of you probably did. However, it wasn't common knowledge, and it s ...
Study Finds Americans Love Their Gadgets More Than Family
Hmm... I'm not so sure I even want to be writing this article because it's kinda sad. Of course, that is assuming this information is true. Sometimes when we see these studies, the information is based on a survey of a very small group of people in an isolated area of the country, so the results can ...
How Frequently Each Letter Is Used On Your Keyboard
I am sure there is some kind of app or software out there that will help us keep track of all the characters we use on our keyboards throughout whatever time period we want. I know there are some plugins for WordPress that will keep track of how many words each author has typed in every article and ...
Twitter’s Effect On Offline Relationship Longevity
If you are a Twitter addict like me, you are used to being judged, right? People in our offline worlds are constantly making ridiculous claims about how it's not good to tweet so much, we are alienating ourselves for the "real world," yada yada yada. For me, Twitter is my "real world," and I have le ...
Most Children Learn Computer Skills Before Life Skills
This is very interesting to me. It hits home because when I saw my sister and her three-year-old son a month ago, I noticed something that seemed a little strange to me. He was constantly playing games on her iPhone. He was walking around the house holding it, and he wouldn't let anyone else have ...
New Study Finds That This Will Relax Your Man…
Lately I've been having a lot of fun reading some of the ridiculous studies that people publish on random topics that never seem interesting until someone studies them.
For example, there is the study that proves (yeah, right) that women prefer men with a tan, the study that determined Americans ...
Why Do We Unfriend On Facebook? The Reasons Might Surprise You!
Last month, Misty wrote an article that asked the question, "What will make you unfollow on Twitter?" The answers were fun to read. A lot of people said it's the auto DMs that make them unfollow, others said it's the spam, and yet others cited reasons that I've never even thought of before. It's ...
Eat This iPhone: Android Can Hold Its Own After All!
I have an Android phone. Sometimes it feels like I'm on an island because everywhere I turn, I'm surrounded by iPhone users. I love my Droid X. I think sometimes people don't give Android phones enough credit, I mean, have you actually seen what they can do?
I agree, an Android phone isn't as ...
The Most Powerful Colors On The Internet
This is so interesting to me. Have you ever wondered what the most powerful colors on the Internet are? These are the colors that command attention, the ones that make you look twice, and the ones that increase your click through rate.
We all know how important color is to a brand. However, wo ...
Finally: A Health Benefit From Playing Video Games!
Well Halleluiah! Finally someone has proven that there is a health benefit to playing video games, well, if you have a lazy eye that is. Typically, people that have a lazy eye have to put a patch over the good eye in order to force the lazy eye to become stronger. It's a long grueling process.

New Study: Americans Go Crazy When Internet Is Slow
Not long ago, @mistygirlph wrote an article entitled, "Do You Freak Out When Your Internet Goes Down?" It always makes me giggle when I see that one circulating on Twitter because people almost always add a little comment with their tweet that says, "Yes!" I know for me, I definitely freak out whe ...
#LOL Can Animals Laugh Out Loud Like We Do?
I've always wondered whether or not dogs, cats and other animals ever find something funny and then laugh out loud. We all know that dogs wag their tails when they are happy. I've even seen my dog smile (really, I have) but I've never heard him laugh.
Today, after reading this article on Earth ...
