How To: Disable the Face Tag Feature on Your Samsung Galaxy S3 and Note 2

If you've got a Samsung Galaxy S3 or Galaxy Note 2, you probably either love or hate the Social Tag feature. Using facial recognition, much like Facebook does, it scans your photos and lets you tag a name to a face. If your device recognizes the face by itself, it will automatically tag it for you. If the person is in your contacts, it will give you the option of calling, texting, or emailing them. While it's a great feature for some, it doesn't always work perfectly. If the flash from the ca...

How To: Block your cell phone number

Ross Handler shows us how to block your cell phone number for outgoing calls. First call your provider and let them know you want all of your outgoing calls to not be registered onto some one else's caller I.D. They will gladly do that for you. But if you want to just block individual calls, and not all your outgoing calls, dial *67 before dialing in the person your calling's phone number. You will not hear a 'beep' when you are dialing *67, but keep proceeding and the call will go through an...

“Wow, You Look Great!”: Giving Compliments Without Being a Jerk

As someone who’s entering a time of life that involves weddings, reunions, and generally running into people I haven’t seen in awhile, I find myself being shocked by how much people have changed over the years.

How To: Block a cell phone number

Jordy with AT&T teaches us how to block your cell phone number when making outgoing calls. By doing this, any person you call cannot read your ten digit cell phone number. It's as simple as entering a code before you dial the desired number. The code is *67 followed by the ten digit number and then placing it as a regular call.

How To: Find Out Who Unfriended You on Facebook

How many Facebook friends do you have? The average person on Facebook has around 140 friends while some hit the ridiculous Facebook friend limit of 5,000. Facebook states that its services are for people you know in person. I don't think anyone has 5,000 friends in person, do you?

News: The Lost Art of Building With Your Hands

This is more of an op-ed piece that is only loosely tied to this world in the sense that what he built involved PVC. What I like about it is it sheds light on what I call the New Poverty. That is, the fact that the plastic and fully automatic world of developed nations impoverishes our creative spirit. It impoverishes the human spirit in a way that you find the New Wealth in places like drought starved Africa.
