If you've ever watched TV shows like 'Long Island Medium,' you've seen the stunned looks on people's faces when the psychics start to get positive "hits." The guy in the video above amazes strangers with specific information, but there's one catch: he's not even a little bit psychic.

No official word has come from Facebook, but technical consultants are saying that they believe the social networking giant is performing unannounced site maintenance today.

Athletes are some of the more vocal celebrities when it comes to social media. Tweeting in the NBA got so out of control that NBA commissioner David Stern had to put rules in place forbidding players from tweeting during games.

If you’re a guy who enjoys “pinning” all of your favorite things on Pinterest or you’re a girl who finds those Reddit threads ridiculously entertaining, then you’re actually part of the online minority. Demographic information shows social media is largely populated by women, but there are exceptions. So which sites attract the fairer sex, and which are more testosterone-fueled?

Many of us do a lot of typing on computers and smartphones, but when’s the last time you actually used your own handwriting to communicate? According to a new survey, it’s probably been a long time — and our scrawls are suffering because of it.

We already know the majority of us with jobs work more than the standard 40 hours per week. And one of the causes of those long hours could be in your hand right now: your cell phone.

Last week, more than six million LinkedIn passwords were stolen and published on a message board frequented by Russian hackers. Now computer security firm Rapid7 has combed through them to show just how weak many of those passwords actually were.

If you’re one of LinkedIn’s 150 million users, you might want to change your password — the business networking site has allegedly been hacked, and millions of log-in credentials may have been compromised.

Ever had your phone on vibrate and thought it was buzzing when it really wasn’t? You’re not alone. Research suggests a lot of us have what’s been dubbed “phantom cell phone vibration syndrome.”

Facebook only allows people 13 and over to sign up for an account — but the social site’s founder and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, wants that to change.
