Metta World Peace is not impressed with the new Brooklyn Nets. The Los Angeles Lakers player made that clear on Tuesday night when he taunted the Nets’ coach and called out several players for flopping.
After sinking a three-pointer that brought the Lakers within two late in the fourth quarter of their eventual 95-90 victory, the athlete formerly known as Ron Artest tauntingly rubbed the head of Nets head coach Avery Johnson while running down the sideline.
As Chris Paul told GQ in October, a patronizing pat on the head can be interpreted as disrespectful and unsportsmanlike.
When Evernote pushed out Skitch version 2.0, a lot of users were pissed that some of the screenshot app’s popular features had been pared down. Two months later, many old-school Skitch users are refusing to come back, so Skitch co-founder and chief designer Keith Lang has posted an admission that Skitch really screwed up. More »
There are few issues that stir up more debate about Facebook than privacy and data use, and the social network has today proposed some changes to its policies that affect both. That includes a more public role for its Chief Privacy Officer, Erin Egan, who will both be at the center of a new “Ask the Chief Privacy Officer” feature that’s said to be launching in the coming weeks, as well as a new series of live events where she’ll address “comments and questions about privacy, safety and security.” It’s also proposing changes to its site governance process, including a shift away from its current voting method for feedback on policy changes, which it says “incentivized the quantity of comments over their quality.” The new method, it suggests, will lead to “more meaningful feedback and engagement.”
What’s more, the company is also proposing some changes to its data use policy, including new filters that will replace the “Who can send you Facebook messages” setting in Messenger, and changes to how it refers to certain products like “instant personalization.” It’s also proposing some new reminders to inform people what’s visible to others on Facebook, and various tips for managing your timeline. Of course, these are still just proposed changes, and it’s giving users until November 28th to offer their feedback on them (Egan will then host one of the aforementioned live events to address the comments). You can find all of the proposed changes and details on how to have your say on them at the source link.

Tomorrow, you could spend six hours cooking a stuffed 18-pound turkey for a bunch of ungrateful family members. Ugh but so much waiting—not to mention the tedious preparation. Instead, spend considerably less time on following the step-by-step instructions for this 102-piece Lego build just posted by international man of bricks Chris McVeigh.

Been clamoring for a Samsung Galaxy 2 10.1 with LTE? While you may have known about Sprint’s variant which launched 10 days ago, Verizon is now laying claim to the tablet as well. Big Red’s model will cost you a cool $500 ($150 than its 7-inch sibling) with “month-to-month service” that’ll run you between $30 for 4GB of data to $60 for 10GB. Details on the slate’s internals are light, but you can expect it to be loaded with Android 4.0 and 8GB of flash storage (expandable to 64GB via microSD) — whether this one has the beefed-up 1.5GHz dual-core CPU like Sprint’s remains to be seen, but it is 50 dollars less. Verizon’s listing the 10-incher as being ready to ship by the 26th, so hit up the source links below if it’s up your alley.

Who doesn’t love chocolate? You can never have too much. You probably wish that you had a train-load of chocolate delivered to you every day. But what about a train that is actually made of the sweet stuff? A 111-foot-long chocolate train. Now that sounds delicious.

This train was created by “master chocolatier” Andrew Farrugia of Malta. It’s 2,755 pounds of fine Belgian chocolate – 6.5 million calories if you are counting.

He got the idea for the train last year, when visiting the Belgian Chocolate Festival in Bruges, with the thought that you can make a train as long as you want. Overall, it took Farrugia 784 hours to build this incredible thing, which is now officially the world’s longest chocolate sculpture ever built.

I call dibs on the engine. That’s always the chocolatiest part of any chocolate train.
