- Comments
Simply put, The Facebook Pages Manager app lets users
manage their pages without the need to enter the general Facebook app,
similar to how the Facebook Messenger app lets Facebook users message
each other without dealing with Facebook as a whole. Users can skip all
the chatter of their regular news feed to dive right into keeping their
pages up-to-date by posting updates and photos, replying to private
messages, and monitoring Pages Insights (stats).
According to Inside Facebook,
more than 3 million page owners were using the Facebook mobile app for
iOS to manage their pages. So Facebook jumped on the opportunity to
release the specific Pages Manager app for iOS users way back in May
2012. For whatever reason, Facebook has held off on the Android release
until now.
Since Android has been eating iOS for lunch in the market
share department, it seems as if there is no better time than now to
give Android smartphone and tablet users a way to directly access and
manage their pages.

‘Facebook Dead’: How Anybody Can ‘Kill’ Their Friends
(Image Credit: Facebook)
He tweeted Thursday, “Facebook thinks I’m dead. I’m tempted to just let it,” then “Did you know that you can report any of your Facebook friends dead & Facebook will lock them out of their account with no evidence needed?”
As one of Foster’s friends discovered, it doesn’t take much to convince Facebook that somebody is dead. By simply going to the “Memorialization Request” page and filling out a form, including a link to an obituary, anybody can take someone else off Facebook.

Foster, 36, said he never got any notification his account was going to be locked, and only discovered it when he attempted to log in. He filled out a form to report the error, and received a response that began with “We are very sorry to hear about your loss.”
More than a full day later, Foster’s account still hadn’t been unlocked. Buzzfeed, tipped off by Foster, posted an article in which one editor “killed” another editor, John Herrman, on Facebook. According to the article, about an hour after Herrman reported the error to Facebook, his profile was reactivated. About an hour after that, 27 hours after Foster first reported his erroneous death, he was “resurrected” by Facebook and allowed back into his account.
Foster does not know the total amount of time he was “Facebook dead.” He told ABC that nothing was different with his account when he logged back in, only that some of his friends had a little fun with his status.
“The only thing that happened was some of my friends posted little mock-eulogies for me, because word got around that I was locked out, due to a temporary case of death,” Foster wrote in an email with the subject line, “Rusty, the Facebook zombie.”
When pages are memorialized, they are removed from sidebars, timelines and friend suggestions and searches. This is likely to prevent people from seeing their friends who have died pop up on their newsfeed, and to prevent people from hacking into the accounts of dead people.
Foster said he understands the position Facebook is in when it comes to the death of one of its users, but believes there are better options for the social media site.
“There ought to be an email sent to the account’s email address informing it that the account has been reported dead and providing a link or something to dispute the report before any action is taken,” Foster wrote.
Foster said the most frustrating part was not being able to get into his account to “click the ‘I’m not dead’ button that should also be there.”
This has apparently been the same “memorialization” process since at least 2009, when another user took to his personal blog to write about his experience of being “Facebook dead.” In his case, the obituary his friend used to have him declared dead wasn’t even close to his real name. Instead, the man who performed the funeral services had a similar name.
In a statement to ABC News, Facebook said the system is in place in order to respect the privacy of the deceased.
“We have designed the memorialization process to be effective for grieving families and friends, while still providing precautions to protect against either erroneous or malicious efforts to memorialize the account of someone who is not deceased,” the statement reads. “We also provide an appeals process for the rare instances in which accounts are mistakenly reported or inadvertently memorialized.”

T-Mobile Unveils Affordable And Worry-Free Unlimited Data Plans
New T-Mobile Value plans make the latest 4G smartphones and wireless services affordable for all
Bellevue, Wash. — Jul. 20, 2011
2013-01-07 18:32:42
T-Mobile USA, Inc. today announced new Value plans, making it more affordable than ever to step up to data on America’s Largest 4G Network™. Featuring flexible pricing for unlimited data and available with affordable monthly payments on any of T-Mobile’s phones and mobile broadband devices, including the latest 4G smartphones and tablets, the new Value plans could save customers hundreds of dollars annually.
Slated to be available beginning on July 24, the new plans build on T-Mobile’s commitment of offering affordable, consumer-friendly plans in tune with the evolving needs of wireless customers. Available with a two-year agreement for new and existing customers, the Value plans offer single-line and multiline options with a range of price points for talk, unlimited text and unlimited data with 2 GB, 5 GB or 10 GB of high-speed data — with no data overage charges. Customers can choose from a variety of monthly plans and only pay for the high-speed data they need.
“T-Mobile is committed to making the always-on benefits of smartphones and tablets more accessible and worry-free for all Americans,” said John Clelland, senior vice president, marketing, T-Mobile USA. “Customers want to enjoy all that the mobile Web has to offer, but they don’t want to pay for more than they need or worry about bill shock. Our incredible value comes from the combination of our nationwide 4G network, exceptional device portfolio and affordable plans that offer unlimited data access without overages.”
With the new Value plans, customers are empowered to purchase any product in
T-Mobile’s innovative device lineup or bring their own device and have access to the company’s best pricing. With no overages on the new unlimited plans and flexible terms, customers can pick the wireless data plan that best fits their needs and choose how they want to pay for their device. Value plan customers who purchase a device can pay an upfront down payment on a new device and make low, interest-free payments for the full price of the product while still getting T-Mobile’s best available rates on monthly service.* T-Mobile will continue to offer its traditional plans under the new T-Mobile Classic plan brand, previously called Even More™ plans.
For example, T-Mobile’s new Value family plan with unlimited talk, unlimited text and unlimited data with 2 GB of high-speed data is just $49.99 per line for two lines. Even with the addition of purchasing two smartphones, such as the T-Mobile myTouch® 4G Slide, on T-Mobile’s Equipment Installment Plan, on T-Mobile’s Equipment Installment Plan, customers may yield savings of more than $800 annually. *
“Families are looking for ways to affordably include mobile data so the kids can communicate via social networking, watch YouTube and surf the Web without parents breaking the bank,” said Tole Hart, senior analyst with Yankee Group. “Plans that help them get more while paying less will get a lot of attention.”
T-Mobile also will offer a robust lineup of mobile broadband service options under both the new Value and Classic plans. For instance, customers could add an overage-free mobile broadband Value plan to their voice service for $19.99 per month with 2 GB of high-speed data for products, including laptop sticks, tablets and the T-Mobile 4G Mobile Hotspot, which allows a family to share their 4G mobile connection with up to five Wi-Fi devices using a single mobile broadband connection.
T-Mobile’s new Value and Classic plans are expected to be available beginning July 24. In addition to the unlimited Value and Classic plans, T-Mobile also will introduce new Value plans for small business customers this summer with additional details available in the coming weeks.
T-Mobile continues to offer no annual contract plans with its Monthly4G plans, as well as Pay As You Go plans for as low as 10 cents per minute for voice calls. More information on T-Mobile’s service plans is available at http://www.t-mobile.com.
* Based on comparison of $99.98 Unlimited Value — Plus Plan (two lines), with a $15 per month smartphone payment per line, against comparable post-paid family plans for smartphones from Sprint, AT&T and Verizon Wireless; does not include taxes and fees. T-Mobile myTouch® 4G Slide is available for a down payment of $249.99, with 20 additional monthly payments of $15; O.A.C., 0 percent APR. Plan features and limitations may vary among carriers. Data as of July 2011.

This
press release contains forward-looking statements that reflect the
current views of Deutsche Telekom management with respect to future
events. These forward-looking statements may include statements with
regard to the expected development of revenue, earnings, profits from
operations, depreciation and amortization, cash flows and
personnel-related measures. You should consider them with caution. Such
statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, most of which are
difficult to predict and are generally beyond Deutsche Telekom’s
control. Among the factors that might influence our ability to achieve
our objectives are the progress of our workforce reduction initiative
and other cost-saving measures, and the impact of other significant
strategic, labour or business initiatives, including acquisitions,
dispositions and business combinations, and our network upgrade and
expansion initiatives. In addition, stronger than expected competition,
technological change, legal proceedings and regulatory developments,
among other factors, may have a material adverse effect on our costs and
revenue development. Further, the economic downturn in our markets, and
changes in interest and currency exchange rates, may also have an
impact on our business development and the availability of financing on
favourable conditions. Changes to our expectations concerning future
cash flows may lead to impairment write downs of assets carried at
historical cost, which may materially affect our results at the group
and operating segment levels. If these or other risks and uncertainties
materialize, or if the assumptions underlying any of these statements
prove incorrect, our actual performance may materially differ from the
performance expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. We can
offer no assurance that our estimates or expectations will be achieved.
Without prejudice to existing obligations under capital market law, we
do not assume any obligation to update forward-looking statements to
take new information or future events into account or otherwise.

addition to figures prepared in accordance with IFRS, Deutsche Telekom
also presents non-GAAP financial performance measures, including, among
others, EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin,
adjusted EBIT, adjusted net income, free cash flow, gross debt and net
debt. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, but
not as a substitute for, the information prepared in accordance with
IFRS. Non-GAAP financial performance measures are not subject to IFRS or
any other generally accepted accounting principles. Other companies may
define these terms in different ways.

In December of last year, pharma kingpin Stewart Rahr
and his wife Carol announced that they would be divorcing after 43
years of marriage. The process was to be an amicable one, Rahr told me.
Today, the New York Post’s Page Six reports
that proceedings have come to an end and that Carol will receive $250
million of Rahr’s fortune, which Forbes estimated at $1.6 billion as of
March. Rahr tells FORBES that he cannot comment on that figure.
The $250 million accounts for roughly 16% of Rahr’s net worth, derived from the $1.3 billion sale of his company, Kinray Pharmaceuticals in 2010. Rahr has since reinvested that payout.
Sixteen percent is a pretty good deal in the realm of billionaire divorces. As I reported when the divorce was first announced, the range as a percentage of wealth for divorce settlements in the world’s highest tax brackets is very broad. In 2007, Russian steel magnate Roman Abramovich got away with giving his wife Irina a mere 1.6% of his $18.7 billion fortune, or $300 million. On the other hand, in 2010, the reigning king of Las Vegas, Steve Wynn, lost 46% of his fortune to wife Elaine, putting her on the Forbes 400 with $1.6 billion. Rahr also beat out Formula One’s Bernie Ecclestone, who forked over 32% ($1.2 billion) of his fortune in 2008 to wife Slavica.
In 2012 alone, two Forbes 400 members, coal tycoon Joseph Craft and Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeff Lurie, fell out of the ranks due to divorces.
“I just have so few sunrises left,” Rahr said in December, “and I want to be happy.” And the self-styled Number One King Of All Fun seems to be doing just that. Known for mugging with celebrities, business icons and famous politicos (often with a cigar clenched between his teeth), he’s been taking to his email account to offer charity gifts between $5,000 and $10,000 to the first few people who can correctly identify the latest famous people he’s taking pictures with (and the location of the picture). Recent subjects include Tommy Hilfiger, LL Cool J, Lionel Richie and Walt Frazier.
