Facebook introduces new profile layout

it seems that Facebook has introduced a new profile page layout that should make usage of Facebook simpler and easier than before. The new layout should provide basic information about you even easier and faster than before.

Now you can see your personal information such as your school, and current residence, relationship status, and work information at the top of your profile. In addition, photo albums have been updated as well and they support infinite scroll. With this feature, you can see all the albums without the need to go through the previous and next page, which is a nice addition. Similar thing happened to the Friends page as well, and we can’t wait to try it out.

Overall, these new features are useful, but it might take some time for users to adapt to a new design. As for the availability, this new profile layout will roll out slowly, and it might not be available for all users at the moment

Android 2.3 Gingerbread is here, brings a host of new goodies

The Android dev team just made the latest version of the mobile platform official. Following Google's alphabetic-dessert naming convention Android 2.3 is called Gingerbread. The new version of the OS brings a host of cool new features as well as extended API support, improved performance and improved power management.
Android smartphones are frequently criticized for poor battery management so Google acted up and tried to fix that with Gingerbread. The system will now take a more active role in managing, closing them if appropriate to ensure better performance and maximum battery life.
Text selection has also been improved, making it easier for Android users to mark, copy and paste text when web browsing or texting. The standard organizer package has been updated too, though the dev team stays mum on the details.
Other end-user features supported by Android Gingerbread include Internet calling, through SIP, NFC (Near Field Communication) support and improved camera interface. The download manager has also been improved and there is now a single app that gives you an aggregated view of all your downloads (be they through email, web browser, or another app).
As usually there's also a bunch of new developers features that might not have instant effect but should lead to higher-quality apps arriving to the Android Market shortly. Enhancements are mainly connected with gaming (where better performance and sensor management, among other things are promised) and multimedia (with audio effect, extended codec support and access to the front-facing camera for third-party apps).
