Hasta La Gadget!

We got our not-so-mysterious invite earlier this month, and now Samsung’s “Meet the new way” event is just a day away. Will we see the much-anticipated Galaxy Note 10.1? Given that Sammy already pulled the curtain on the global model, all signs point to yes. As always, we’ll be on hand to serve up the details as they unfold tomorrow from Jazz at Lincoln Center (might we expect a full-blown orchestra a la the Galaxy S III launch, we wonder?).

Our liveblog goes down at 11 AM tomorrow, and you’ll want to park your browser here for the full play-by-play.

Facebook, that tenuous connection between ourselves and the many casual acquaintances we’ve amassed over the years, has just rolled out a better way to keep track of events. Now it’s possible to plan that witty annual birthday greeting months in advance, thanks to the new calendar and list views on the social network’s Events page. You can also see suggested events and respond to invites from the comfort of the same page. The roll out follows the introduction the new Google+ Events page late last month, so now the two social networks can avoid awkwardly bumping into each other at parties.

Update: Looks like weddings and celebrations are getting overhauled, too. Clearly, it’s time to get down.

This year has brought many changes to the venture industry. Firstly, the JOBS Act – poised to enable start-ups to crowdsource funds from non-accredited investors, expand Regulation A and loosen IPO onramp provisions — was enacted this year and will become a reality in 2013. In addition, Facebook is scaring away potential tech IPO hopefuls from going public. Who’d thunk?
