Its Saturday June 13th, and you know what that means guys, pick your Facebook username day? Aka Facebook vanity URL day, if you forgot it was today, you better hit the link below and pick the name you would like to be in your new Facebook profile page url quick as its already been going on for hours (since 9pm PST)!
For those that don’t know what this is all about, Facebook have already had several attempts in the past to properly organise the look of their URLs, ie horrible looking ones like: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=xxxxxxxxx&ref=name. This is likely to be the last time Facebook will be thinking about making any changes to its users’ profile page URLs. The downside to this is that users on Facebook will need to race to pick their desired name ie: http://www.facebook.com/yourdesiredname, and that name can be anything you like! Although Facebook’s own staff have already had the first chance to pick their favourites before anyone else, there are definitely plenty more to choose from.
The below are the few rules you will need to adhere to before you head off:
- After you pick your name, you can’t change or transfer it so be wise and keep it short is what we would advise!
- Usernames much be in basic text, at least 5 characters long, and include only alphanumeric characters (A-Z, 0-9), or a period or full stop (”.”).
Here’s the link you need: http://www.facebook.com/username

Casio’s latest EX-H10 is another one of those megazoom cameras with incredible functionalities such as the ability to take HD movies (720p HD at 24fps).
To begin retailing around mid-July, the $299.99 12-megapixel camera is fronted by a wide-angle 24mm lens with a 10x zoom with CCD-shift image stabilization in a body that’s 0.96 inch thick and weighs only 5.8 ounces.
The next Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 smartphone, the X2 looks to have been leaked and pictured ahead of schedule. While pictures which were revealed earlier in the week didn’t seem as convincing and lacked in quality, the new ones revealed below provide higher definition. They also show that the Xperia X2 looks to be running Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional, 3G and HSDPA are fairly standard functions.
Though I must say I am glad to see the X2 with a more attractive design, more in sync with our modern era, you will most definitely have notice its gotten rid of those pyramid-like triangular shaped keys which just didn’t do its design much good. Our mobile expert friends at dialaphone thinks the most likely memory card the X2 will be equipped with is MicroSD, which is all good news!
If you haven’t got much going on this weekend, bookmark this page and come back to it, I’ve been repeatedly watching this video today. Ever thought Post it notes could be used to represent pixels and thus create a stop motion video? This really geeky, yet amazing art project video by Bang-yao Liu of Savanna College of Art and Design below says it all.
“Every time when I am busy, I feel that I am not fighting with my works, I am fighting with those Post-it notes and deadline. I manipulated the Post-it notes to do pixel-like stop motion, and there are some interactions between real actor and Post-its.”
Some of the specs of the next Samsung Omnia, Omnia II have leaked. Its said that the upcoming touchscreen flagship will be called the GT-I8000. The Omnia 2 was leaked by a Lithuanian on-line retailer, which has now removed its embarrassing leakage.

The connectivity includes all you may need as usual including 3G support, Bluetooth, miniUSB, GPS and Wi-Fi.
Rumors speculate that the Windows Mobile OS on board will be heavily customized and will bear the Samsung’s TouchWiz styling with deep menu restyling. DivX/XViD support is also expected.
