Post-It notes long ago made the transition from the real world to your computer screen, but thanks to a new app, they’re going virtual as well.
3M worked with augmented reality developer Metaio on the new app, which lets you pin a virtual Post-It to a real wall. As the video above shows, you can use an iPad to take a picture of yourself with a speech bubble outlining your message. Then, you can put that message on a wall with others.

In an email to the blogger posted at TSA Out of Our Pants, one reporter wrote “I received an email from the TSA saying they would ‘strongly caution’ me against covering the story. They say you’re a man that “clearly has an agenda” and should ‘not be aided by the mainstream media…

They’ve both had Verizon data plans long enough that they’re grandfathered in to unlimited data, and Christopher has unlimited international data as well. Or…. he did. After the upgrade, his unlimited plan is gone, the employee who turned it off has (apparently) fled the country, and no one at corporate or the local Verizon store knows how to get it back…

Or to face enough skepticism that you can squeeze out just $9 million over multiple rounds of funding?Okay, you knew it was a trick question, but the facts are pretty surprising. History shows that capital efficiency—raising no more than you need—has been a better indicator of success than capital access…

Dropbox has launched a major redesign, simplifying many file management tasks and bringing a new video and photo viewer.
The first thing you’ll notice in the new Dropbox UI is the action bar which lets you sort files by name, date, size and type.
Click on a file, and the action bar will get new options – for example, you can download, delete, rename, move or copy a file from there.
You can also perform these actions by right-clicking on a file, which makes Dropbox more similar to Microsoft’s Windows Explorer than ever…
