If you have yet to experience the new compose window, do not worry or fret over it too much, since it ought to roll out in the coming few days.

Just what kind of features or new additions will greet you as you start to type emails to those on your contact list? For starters, it will open drafts as a minimizable window, allowing you to compose multiple drafts simultaneously, all the while enabling you to keep a keen eye out on incoming email, you busy bee you!

Just how popular is Facebook? Well, the social network giant, fresh from picking up Mobile Technologies under their growing list of companies acquired, has just unveiled the latest batch of US user metrics, where statistics point out that over 128 million users actually log into the web version of Facebook each day. That amounts to more than 40% of all Americans, now how about that?

On the mobile front, the number would have dropped a wee bit to 101 million in comparison, which accounts for nearly 33%, but it is not worrying at all since it still shows off just how popular the mobile version of Facebook is. Something tells me that most of the folks who log into their mobile version of Facebook would also log into the web version whenever they are at home or at work. Of course, the main target of these metrics would be advertisers so that they have a better idea on how to engage with their intended audience. Other than that, Facebook has every intention of moving away from the “monthly active users” metric, citing that to be an “old way of looking at the media world.”

Since you have owned a smartphone and/or tablet, do you still log into the web version of Facebook?

Now this is definitely an embarrassing situation for female members of the Detroit police, as their bra cup sizes have been emailed to the other officers by accident. Just how the heck did such personal information become available? The answer is simple – a bullet proof vest. After all, the bullet proof vest that is worn by a man looks nearly the same as that of a woman’s on the outside, although the inside is very much different since it has been specially contoured to fit her curves. It is rather unfortunate then, that when a handful of female officers provided information such as their height, weight and bra cup sizes to the Detroit Police Department so that they are able to receive fitting bullet proof vests, it is rather unfortunate that a “clerical error” led to such a situation.

Assistant Chief James White, said, “On the third page, the females were listed. Unfortunately and embarrassingly, the cup sizes of the females were listed on that third page, and it was really just a clerical error.” Commander Dwayne Love was tasked to inform the officers that their bullet proof vests were ready to be collected, so in the forwarded email to the commanders who in turn forwarded it to the supervisors, and subsequently had it forwarded it to the rest of the officers, carried the weight, height and bra cup sizes of the women named in the attached Excel spreadsheet.
