Today Pinterest announced that it is rolling out a new feature which will notify users when prices of items they have pinned goes down. It was back in May when Pinterest allowed users to see the current price of pins from a select group of websites. Users could view the price whenever they wanted to, but they wouldn’t know if the price was dropped without notice. From now on, Pinterest will send an email to users who have a specific item pinned, as soon as there’s a price drop.

There’s no action required from the user. They don’t have to fill in a form or sign up for this feature. Pinterest will automatically keep a check on the prices of the items that users have pinned. Price drop notifications will be grouped in to a single email so as to not clutter a user’s inbox, users have the ability to adjust settings related to email notifications as well. Pinterest says that it is gradually rolling out the feature, so it might take a while before every user has access to the new feature.

Currently, if you want to buy that hot new Super Mario Bros game your coworkers have been talking about, you need to wait until you could get home, power up your Wii U, launch eShop and then purchase it. That long process could become much shorter, however, if Nintendo follows through on a recent report from NicoNico (translated by Siliconera) that it plans to open up eShop access to PCs and smartphones as well. Dan Adelman, Nintendo’s Business Development Manager, confirmed with Joystiq that users would be able to log on to eShop remotely, buy the game, set it up for download and it’ll be right there on their console when they get home. Hopefully this update arrives prior to October, so that Link fans among us can get a head start on downloading that new Zelda game before everyone else.

Facebook today introduced embedded posts, a new feature that allows people to bring the public stories they find compelling on the world’s biggest social network to their own blog or website. Embedded posts may contain pictures, hashtags, videos as well as other content. People who view the embedded post on a user’s blog or website will be able to like it or share it directly from the embed itself.

To get an idea of how this would work, take a look at the screenshot of a post that was published by Andy Murray on Facebook after winning the 2013 Wimbledon Championship. If this particular post is embedded by someone on their website or blog, visitors landing on that particular page would be able to like this post from there. If the post contains hashtags, they can be clicked within the embed to discover similar content on Facebook. Right now, a handful of media organizations are being given the ability to embed public Facebook posts. These include the Huffington Post, Bleacher Report and PEOPLE. Facebook says that broader availability of this feature is coming soon.

Different files can now be shared with different people. The Shared view will display all of the files you’ve shared, and will also display files that have been shared with you. High quality pictures can now be viewed in their full resolution, SkyDrive.com automatically determines the DPI or dots per inch of your device and shows higher quality pictures and thumbnails. Animated GIFs can now be viewed in full animation as opposed to viewing them as static images. Managing photos has been improved as well, photos can now be manually rotated and the view can be configured to display photos in a certain folder instead of displaying an entire batch of photos.

Threats to kill or rape someone is something that should never be taken lightly, and it seems that recently in the UK, a 21-year old man from Manchester has been arrested after posting rapes threats on Twitter. The threats were directed at a certain Caroline Criado-Perez who led the charge to get more female faces on England’s bank notes, and recently was successful in getting Pride and Prejudice author, Jane Austen, on a new £10 note that would enter circulation in 2017. Personally we don’t see what the big deal was, but apparently there were many who weren’t too thrilled about it, leading to many tweeting death and rape threats on her Twitter account.

In fact it seems it got so bad to the point where Criado-Perez received about 50 rape threats in an hour! The arrest was confirmed by a Scotland Yard spokesperson who was quoted as saying, “A 21-year-old man has today been arrested in the Manchester area on suspicion of harassment offences. […] The arrest is in connection with an allegation of malicious communications received by officers in Camden on Thursday, July 25.” In light of this recent verbal abuse, Criado-Perez’s followers have set up a petition in which they ask Twitter to create a “report abuse” button for the web version of their service, in which Twitter claims will be rolled out “soon”.
