    This morning Facebook announced Timeline, a look at everything that has ever happened in your Facebook lifespan. It’s like a story book of your life. Although the feature has been announced, it is not yet available to the public – only developers can get access.

    Things to consider:

    • You probably don’t want to do this unless you’re actually a developer. Expect bugs.
    • Only you will see your timeline at first (unless you decide otherwise), but it will automatically go public after a few days. My timeline was automatically hard-set to go public on September 29th.
    • It seems that if you login into Facebook on another machine, Timeline gets disabled automatically on all of your machines. With that said, it seems you can get back to your timeline (but ONLY after following the steps below) by navigating to http://www.facebook.com/YOURUSERNAMEHERE?sk=timeline
    • You’ll need to have a “verified” account for one of the steps, which means you need a credit card or phone number attached to the account.

    How to enable it:

    Step 1: Log in to Facebook.

    Step 2: You will need to enable developer mode if you haven’t already. Simply type “Developer” in the search box and click on the top result.

    Step 3: Go to the developer app, which can be found here should Facebook not automatically redirect you.

    Step 4: Create a new app (don’t fret, nobody will be able to see it), and give it a name and namespace (no CAPS allowed with the namespace).

    Step 5: Once that’s done, click on the “Get Started using open graph” under the “Open Graph” header.

    Step 6: You will then be asked to create a test action for your app, like “read” a “book”.

    Step 7: Next, you’ll be met with a config page of your selected action. Navigate through that page and the next three pages of settings.

    Step 8: Once you have gone through the last page and hit “Save and Finish”, after a couple of minutes, an invite to try Timeline should appear at the top of your homescreen.

    Click it, and you will be met with a page which seemingly covers every story of your Facebook life since the day you joined. Enjoy!

  • Another iPhone Prototype Lost In A Bar

    As reported  by CNET, it appears Apple may have lost another unreleased iPhone model in a bar, this time at the Cava22 in San Francisco. The errant iPhone, which went missing in San Francisco’s Mission district in late July, sparked a scramble by Apple security to recover the device over the next few days, according to a source familiar with the investigation.

    You may recall last year’s loss of an iPhone 4 prototype, which was lost by an Apple employee and sold to Gizmodo. This year’s lost phone seems to have taken a more mundane path: it was taken from a Mexican restaurant and bar and may have been sold on Craigslist for $200. Still unclear are details about the device, what version of the iOS operating system it was running, and what it looks like.

    Apple electronically traced the phone to a two-floor, single-family home in San Francisco’s Bernal Heights neighborhood, according to the source.

    When San Francisco police and Apple’s investigators visited the house, they spoke with a man in his twenties who acknowledged being at Cava 22 on the night the device went missing. But he denied knowing anything about the phone. The man gave police permission to search the house, and they found nothing, the source said.

    iPhone 5 is expected to launch this September / early October.
