Facebook Adds Timeline To Profile Pages

Mark Zuckerberg has given Facebook a makeover with Timeline. This new feature makes it easier to see events, pics and posts from your past by year and month by placing a timeline on the right of your profile.

Timeline Views allow you to filter the content by photos, locations (courtesy of Bing maps integration), add apps, “likes” and much more.

I like the addition of Timeline as it makes Facebook a more interesting social network by letting the world know about your life story. But remember that stalkers, girlfriends, bosses, will have an easier time finding out about you too… so keep the embarrassing pics away!

World’s First Supercomputer Tablet – Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

Asus is set to launch the Eee Pad Transformer Prime which stands head and shoulders above other tablets with its quad core processor. Apple’s Power Mac G4 with its dual processors has been billed a super computer, just imagine the computing prowess of Asus Transformer Prime.

Transformer Prime is the first to use NVIDIA’s new quad-core Tegra 3 (Kal-El processor). Besides being a supercomputer tablet, it is more attractive than the original Asus Eee Pad Transformer. The latter was a popular Android tablet, but didn’t score with boxy look.

Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime’ has a larger screen (10.1 vs 9.7) than iPad 2 but it is much thinner and lighter due to its aluminum exterior. The screen, Super IPS+ display (at 1280×800) under Gorilla Glass has a 178-degree viewing-angle and brighter color, an improvement over the original Transformer and Eee Pad Slider.

There is also a keyboard dock (sold separately) which is made of aluminum casing with metallic swirl pattern to match the Prime. I appreciate the keyboard dock because touch-screen typing is frustrating when you have serious typing to do.

Another impressive feature is the battery life – 12 hours of usage, supposedly best for tablets, thanks to Tegra 3′s advanced power management. If attached to the keyboard dock, you get a whopping 18 hours. helps with this. The 1.2 megapixel front camera and an 8 megapixel back camera with a F2.4 aperture, are equally impressive. It can also record 1080p video.

Transformer Prime could hit stores in December. Stay tuned for updates.
