Apple is really mad at Samsung and BlackBerry now

If you own an Apple (AAPL -0.27%) iPhone, you should have received an email from the company over the weekend, alerting you to a new page on the Apple site that explains why the iPhone 5 is the best.

The tag line: "There's iPhone. And then there's everything else." This might be the first time since 2001, when it blew everybody away with the first iPod, that Apple has stooped to defend its position as the best possible thing since sliced bread.

New BlackBerry PlayBook is in the Works According to BlackBerry Exec

It seems there may be some confusion up at the BlackBerry headquarters about whether or not there is a new PlayBook tablet in the future. 

BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins recently told Australia’s Herald Sun that tablets are “a very difficult business.” He went on to suggest that the company won’t be releasing any new tablets unless it can find a niche that needs to be filled. It seems, however, that someone forgot to send out that memo to the rest of the company. 

How to Customize Your Facebook Page for Free

Facebook is in the process of rolling out yet another interface revamp. As Sharon Vaknin described in a post earlier this month, the new look for the Facebook News Feed provides many new options for viewing your friends' posts. You can add your name to the waiting list for the new-look News Feed, but you don't have to wait to enliven your Facebook page's appearance. 

While the company provides only a handful of options for tweaking the look of your Facebook profile, Matt Kruse's free Social Fixer browser add-on (formerly named Better Facebook) takes Facebook customization to a new level. Social Fixer lets you update the social network's interface with a tabbed news feed, feed filters, image previews, and many other options.
