New Wifi Tech Could Double Your Phone’s Battery Life
If you ever get the sense that someone on the wifi network you're using is hogging all the juice, you may be right. Not only does sharing wifi with others downloading large files interfere with your enjoyment of the latest viral video, but it can majorly drain your battery as well.
A new solution from a Duke University computer science graduate student could alleviate your frustrations and as much as double your battery life by allowing your wifi device to "nap" until more bandwidth is available. This means you might have to wait a few minutes, but that could be a productivity boon anyway.

Pixable’s ‘Life Of A Facebook Photo’ (Infographic)
It's tough to beat my colleague Alexia Tsotsis' witty 'What Mobile Photo Sharing App Should I Use' infographic. Today Pixable, a startup that develops sleek social photo creation and categorization tools for Facebook and other photo sharing sites, is releasing its own photo sharing infographic focused on photo-sharing and the 'hard knock' life of a photo on Facebook.
Pixable’s service, which has 800,000 users, allows people to use of all their Facebook and image sharing site photo content like captions, tagging information, comments, and birthdays to make albums, slideshows, calendars and nor artwork. Pixable’s browser-based simplifies the creation of albums, making it easy to use for anyone. One of Pixable's early applications was a nifty tool that allows you to make mosaics of your Facebook photos.

A Day (And Night) In The Life Of A $26-Million Dollar Startup
Media6Degrees (M6D) is a socially targeted advertising startup based in NYC's Union Square. It has raised $26 million from investors and it is on a tear.
The company has rapidly grown to 110+ clients, 70+ employees, and it recently acquired a new floor of office space.
Media6Degrees threw a party to celebrate its expansion and CEO Tom Phillips invited us to join.
After spending a day and night with the startup, we found Media6Degrees to be refreshingly fun; it has a company band, a spirited kickball team, and lovable pooch roaming the cubicles.
We arrived at 11 AM on Friday just before Media6Degrees' afternoon kickball game.
Most people were still working.
COO Andrew Pancer and Aisha Outlaw were conversing.

Life As a Bug Hunter
An anonymous reader writes "Bug Hunter Aaron Portnoy claims to have earned $60K in 3 months as a bug hunter when he was 19-years-old. Pretty impressive. Tighter company budgets and increased pressure to get a product ready by its release date means code isn't checked so thoroughly and bug frequency rises. From the article : 'Mozilla - makers of the Firefox web browser - were first to start a bug bounty programme in 2004. Their top prize is currently $3,000 (£1,800) and they have paid out about $40,000 (£25,000) per year since then. Their top earner is a student in Germany who has bagged more than $30,000 (£18,000) from a series of discoveries.'"

Look At How Strange Your Online Life Is
Imagine if your real life was like your online life.
You'd walk up to people you barely knew and ask them if they want to be your friend -- and try to convince them by showing them your photos. You would walk around to objects and people and put little "Like" signs on them. You'd wear your relationship status on your sleeve -- literally. And when you followed people you'd really follow them.
Here, see for yourself:

LIFE AFTER THE CHECK-IN: Loopt Adds Mobile Q&A; Feature (AAPL, GOOG)
Now that every mobile app under the sun has check-ins, mobile/location/social startups need to evolve to stand out.
Foursquare, for example, has been playing up its "tips" feature, trying to become more of a connected city guide.
And now rival Loopt has a new, similar feature, based on Q&A, another hot Internet sector.
Launching soon in the San Francisco area, and later nationwide, Loopt's new "Qs" is a real-time Q&A feature that lets you ask questions and quickly get answers about a place.
Such as: What's the best menu item here? How's the parking situation? Where's the best public bathroom near this park? What's the wifi password? Etc.
The big idea is to get people using location apps for more than checking in, and to get more people contributing content to the service, not just looking it up.
We'll see if it gives Loopt -- which claims 5 million sign-ups -- a boost.
Here's what it looks like:
And here's a video explaining how it works:
