FACEBOOK is visited monthly by 540 million people


Google has released Web traffic data indicating that Facebook is king when it comes to online visitors despite criticism about privacy at the social-networking service.

Facebook.com is visited monthly by 540 million people, or slightly more than 35 percent of the Internet population, according to Google Ad Planner worldwide data gathered using recently-acquired Double Click.

Approximately 570 billion pages are viewed monthly at Facebook.com, more than eight times as many pages as are viewed each month at second-place Yahoo.com which gets 490 million visitors, according to Google.

The figures support word from Facebook that it has not been abandoned by members despite carping by politicians, consumer groups and privacy advocates that want tighter safeguards on personal information at the website.

Only 23,515 people had signed up as of Friday at a "We're Quitting Facebook" website as "committed" to dump the social-networking service as part of a campaign to stage a mass protest on May 31.

That number represents less than .006 percent of Facebook's more than 400 million members.

Facebook is overhauling privacy controls in the face of a barrage of criticism that it is betraying the trust which has made it the world's biggest social network.

Facebook redesigned its privacy settings page to provide a single control for content and "significantly reduce" the amount of information that is always visible to everyone.

Facebook also said it is giving users more control over how outside applications or websites access information at the service.

"This is a pretty big overhaul to the system we already have," Zuckerberg said while outlining the changes during a Wednesday press briefing at the social network's headquarters in the California city of Palo Alto.

"Now we are making it so there is less information that has to be public. People want a simple way to control the way information is shared with third parties, so that is what we are doing," he said.

The revamped privacy controls began rolling out Wednesday.

Facebook last month sparked criticism from privacy and consumer groups, US lawmakers and the European Union by adding the ability for partner websites to incorporate data regarding members of the social-networking service.

Critics continue to call for Facebook to make all user information private by default and then let people designate what they want to share case-by-case in an "opt-in" model.

Facebook has rejected such a model, saying the service is based on a premise that people want to connect and share with friends and people around them.

Watch's That Are More Expensive Than A Ferrari!!

Let’s be realistic here, the economy is in the crapper and your 401k looks about as arousing as you do after a cold shower. What’s a Burgundy drinking, ’stache rocking, web surfing Internet denizen like you to do? Diversify your skill set by ogling watches you’ll never be able to afford and learning what makes them tick.
Most of these watches are more complicated than college calculus and have more history than you could learn in a lifetime. You might even need an engineering degree and an instructional tome to figure out how they work. Regardless, all these watches (for one reason or another) are ridiculously cool and absurdly expensive. Sell the Ferrari, liquidate the stocks, and pick up one of these bad-ass timekeeping devices.


10 Watches More Expensive Than A Ferrari

The Patek Caliber 89 - $5,120,000


Buying this watch would require selling 3.5 Bugatti Veyrons, which happens to be 70% of the total number they sold in 2005. The closest most of us will ever get to a Veyron is drooling over it on Top Gear. It’s all about perspective here people. Three Veyrons. Say it out loud – Three. Veyrons. So what makes this watch worth $5.12mil? For starters, it is the most complicated watch on the planet with 33 complications. Essentially, it requires a degree in mechanical engineering to understand, but suffice it to say it has everything but the kitchen sink. It also took more time to design than you spent in college (including those extra years “studying” chemistry).


10 Watches More Expensive Than A Ferrari

Split Seconds Patek Philippe Reference 1436 By Tiffany & Co. – $214,000

It’s emblazoned with the Tiffany & Co. name, so you know it’s gonna be expensive. Compared to the rest of the watches on this list though, it’s actually pretty cheap. Well, you know, if two-hundred grand can ever be considered cheap. You’re getting the Patek and the Tiffany names, what else could you want? The ability to time two events that start simultaneously but end at different times – you didn’t think those fancy blue hands were just for show did you?



10 Watches More Expensive Than A Ferrari

Patek Philippe Ref 5016P – $762,000

Rounding out the Patek trinity is the Ref 5016P (The P stands for platinum, duh). This watch is the second most complicated wristwatch (the first one was a pocket watch so it doesn’t count) that Patek has produced. The problem with watches of this caliber the need for adjustments, but Patek has an app for that. If you keep this moon-phase, perpetual calendar, retrograde behemoth running continuously it won’t need adjusting until 2100. That’s something your children’s children’s children will most certainly appreciate.


10 Watches More Expensive Than A Ferrari

The Breguet Marie Antoinette – $XX,000,000


This watch was originally designed by Breguet himself and has more pieces (823) than an
iPhone. It’s self winding, has a minute repeater, perpetual calendar, equation of time, jumping hour, power reserve indicator, and a bimetallic thermometer – everything but MMS messaging. It took forty-four years for the original to be constructed and Breguet and Marie Antoinette both died before it was completed. Ultimately, the original watch disappeared, never to be seen again. When Swatch acquired Breguet, an Indiana Jones style quest for the watch began. When they came up short they reproduced the watch using only the images of the original. Breguet has received offers in the eight digit range, but still refuse to sell.


10 Watches More Expensive Than A Ferrari

Jaeger-LeCoultre Gyrotourbillon 1 – $400,000

This watch is clearly complicated, but it has a feature some of the others don’t, a tourbillon. What’s a tourbillon? A wrist-mounted anti-gravity device. Tourbillons (in the most basic terms) prevent gravity from adversely affecting accuracy. Normal tourbillons only rock one-axis anti-gravity, this tourbillon rocks two. No word yet on when the third and fourth axis will be integrated.



10 Watches More Expensive Than A Ferrari

Rolex Submariner – $234,000

At some point in time, everyone has held, worn, or owned a Rolex Submariner. This one is special because it was held, worn, and owned by the one and only Steve McQueen. That’s right, the “King of Cool” owned this particular submersible, self-winding, stainless steel oyster bracelet Rolex. You’re getting time, Rolex, and bona fide badassery.



10 Watches More Expensive Than A Ferrari

Vacheron Tour de l’Ile – $1,250,000


Vacheron is the oldest watch manufacturer still in existence since its inception in 1755. 250+ years of history allows them to make watches that eclipse most others. The Tour de l’Ile has tourbillon, two faces, and more complications and parts than even the Breguet Marie Antoinette (hopefully without the beheading) making it the most complicated serial wrist watch ever made. It’s worth JUST shy of a Veyron… unless you buy used.



10 Watches More Expensive Than A Ferrari

AP Royal Oak Grande Complication – $560,000

Audemars Piquet (that’s where the AP comes from obviously) does it again with the Royal Oak Grande Complication. The Grande Complication is another watch that has a perpetual calendar accurate until long after you will no longer be alive. It has a lot of the same complications as the other watches (minute repeater, split seconds chronograph, aforementioned perpetual calendar) but presents them in a way that doesn’t require a thousand page instruction manual just to read. Real men don’t use instruction manuals.



10 Watches More Expensive Than A Ferrari

Richard Mille Tourbillon – $525,000

Look at it. It looks like a Rube Goldberg machine had sex with the Gugenheim and the offspring was skeletonized. Quite a few of these watches have modern elements, but none of them have the modern design that this watch does. Made of aluminum, titanium, and awesome it would be the perfect compliment for the new clear hood you just put on the Ferrari.


10 Watches More Expensive Than A Ferrari

Ulysse Nardin Triplejack Minute Repeater – $340,000

It may be crazy, but this watch seems like holds some deep, dark, historical secret that only Nicolas Cage can uncover. But that may just be the three Jacks “hammering the bells to separate the quarters from the minutes.” Sure, it’s more expensive than a Ferrari, but something about this watch just seems a lot less complicated. Since when did you just want to tell time with your watch?

This is the point in the movie after the credits roll where you get that wicked cameo that’s sole purpose is to say thanks to an underappreciated celebrity. In this case, the star is none other than Ben Clymer of

In case you haven’t heard of Hodinkee (for shame!), it’s a daily collection of the most interesting and rare watches around the world. Think Cool Material specifically geared towards vintage and interesting time pieces.

12 Coolest Headphones

1 Transformer earphones

How many times have you wanted to wear Transformers on your ears? None you say? Well, that's just weird. These Transformer headphones allow you to wear your choice of Frenzy or Ramble on your ears. We just hope they don't transform into a bull horn or something while on our ears. The headphones come with a retractable cord for easy transportation and knot forming, and is a great way to show off your fanboy-ism to all of the other They Might Be Giants listeners of the world.


2 Lego earphones

These colorful in-ear brick headphones features a standard 3.5mm stereo audio plug and there are five different colors for you to chose from: black, blue, green, pink and red. Available over at the Gadget4all.com website for $10.


3 Body modification earphones

It's kind of a low-tech invention for people into piercings and other types of bod-mod!


4 Angel and Devil earphones

Cool new headphones from Kawaii are both angel and devil. Some say rock is the music of angels while others say it is the work of the devil. I wouldn't know which because where I live they've banned both rock music and dancing. I'm holding out for a hero who will help me get around the law and have music at my senior prom so I can cut footloose which would be almost paradise.

5 Giant earphones

Fancy annoying the morning bus/train traffic with a pair of oversized plugs? You can with the Giant Earphone Speakers. But only if you hold them to your head. You see, these are actually desktop speakers, shaped like earphones, but at 500 times the size. Power is via batteries or USB, with a main adaptor available separately if you prefer.


6 Thriller-themed earphones

The Thriller Headphones, designed by Johnny Lighthands and built by ATOM Creative Solutions, won the Nokia headset design competition in 2008, featuring gravestones, zombies, and that creepy, yellow-eyed wolf bursting through the door. Though only one pair was made by Nokia into a working model, we hope that Jackson's passing inspires Nokia to produce at least a limited-edition run of the freaky-awesome headphones.


7 Bejewelled earphones

Ears have always been your bejewelled part (even if you are a guy). Now you can add to your ear's bling quotient with the 18 carat gold, diamond-encrusted earphones! Each earphone, made by top jeweller Casa Gi based in Belgium, is encrusted with 59 of the highest quality diamonds that have been individually set in 18 carat gold. These listening devices give a crystal clear sound and a sparkling appearance. The 18 grams of gold makes the piece fairly heavier than the regular set of earphones yet they are just as comfortable, claim the makers. The earpieces are attached to a white wire with a standard jack that fits into most MP3 players and computers.

The only pair of Casa Gi earphones in the UK is currently on sale at Clive Ranger jewelry shop in Bristol for $ 3,499.

8 Bone Wrap earphones

Here's another method to try and solve the issue with what to do with all the extra cord that is not in use when listening to an mp3 player. Bone Wrap, the bone shaped earphone cord wrap is the solution presented by Fruitshop. Bone Wrap is similar to the other simple methods of clearing the spare cords, the only difference is aesthetics. If you have a love for dogs and take your dog for walks daily, this might be a nice addition for your mp3 player during your walks with the dog.


9 Ultimate earphones

Earphones have always been big business for every audio company, and they have a lot of competition to deal with. This is because the earphone and headphone market is already saturated with many great products that are quite good, and in order to excel in the market, the new product must have that special something. This time around, Ultimate Ears have launched the Ultimate Ears 18 Pro custom monitors with the help of Logitech which come with an amazing 6 drivers in each earbud. You can imagine the quality of music that you might get when you use one of these pairs of headphones! There are 2 drivers for bass in each ear, and 2 each for mids and treble in each earbud. However, they cost quite a bit at $1,350.


10 Wooden earphones

Recently, a new product has been launched in the market from JVC: earphones made of wood. The contemporary product is named HP-FX500. The special features of this trendy earphone is that wood promotes the audio quality and the piece weighs only 7.5 grams. It can be conveniently used by everyone. Its power measures 100dB/1mW, from 8Hz to 25kHz at the rate of 16 ohm.


11 Skull earphones

Finally, welcome some style in the earphone industry. Radius took their earphones to the next level. The latest styles and trends that music enthusiasts are wearing these days are skulls. You will find skull logos on t-shirts, sweatshirts, pants, and even shoes. Just when you thought you had seen skulls everywhere, Radius breaks out the latest design on their earphones – the Ruffian Skull. Putting fashion to the side, Radius Ruffian Skull Earphones also have great acoustics and can be worn inside of helmets.


12 Cigarette Pack earphones

Maybe it's just because we had a rough weekend, but we still have to piece together what the purpose of this device is. Officially, it's a novelty cigarette pack-shaped earphone headset for Nokia / Samsung / Sony Ericsson mobiles. That's to say it enables you to just talk into the pack rather than into your phone. At just $6.79, we'd love to say this would at least make a good gag gift, but honestly, we can't figure out what's to "get." Hmmph.
