Vogue iPad App Launches With Lady Gaga!

If you're the owner of an iPad and willing to pay 99 cents, you can have access to more Gaga than you'll get in this month's print version of Vogue's Power Issue and even more than you'll get in the typically multimedia-friendly online version.


The Vogue Cover Exclusive App will be available in the iPad app store for the first time from midnight Wednesday, EST. The app, which focuses only on the magazine's cover story each month, launches with Lady Gaga shot by Mario Testino.

Daily Obsesh - iPod Hoodie

Ring ring. Your iPhone is calling! Or if you screen calls, then there's a message waiting. Here's what it says - your iPhone wants to stay warm this winter, along with his friends iPod Classic and iPod Touch.


And there's only two ways to do that. Either use your beloved gadgets endlessly so they overheat or hook them up with this adorable little accessory - a hoodie!


Yes, it's basically a mini sweater to wrap your phone/mp3 player/camera/miracle-working gizmo in. And we think it's a great idea! Especially because we love our iPhones so much, it's the only acceptable way to treat them. Don't you agree?

TheFind Never Miss the Action

Don't let a little water keep you from capturing a snorkeling adventure, your son's soccer game in the rain, or Uncle Bob's famous cannonball into the pool.

Organize Your Digital Life With Style

We confess ... it is a challenge sometimes to keep up with the latest fashion trends when you're always on the go. But that's where Windows 7 comes in - it's the best way to gossip with your friends about what's abuzz in the fashion world.


Windows Live will simplify your life with innovative tools that let you create, connect, and share so you'll always know about the latest shoes, handbags, and accessories. And, it's as easy as coordinating this season's greatest accessories! Get Windows 7, download Windows Live Essentials and get on the cloud.


Imagine this: You're out on the town snapping photos of the latest fashion trends. Use Photo Fuse to combine them into one perfect shot. And, if you're using your smart phone to capture these cutting-edge styles - or, to see how something looks on you in the dressing room (we all do it!) - Windows Live makes it easy to share them with all of your devices. You can sync your files across multiple PCs so you and your friends can talk about these breakout designs the minute you see (or try) them.


Best of all, you can share your photos at lightning speed with the people who matter most to you. Windows Live Photo Gallery lets you upload your album in just one click to all of your social media accounts. And, you can share endless photos without clogging up your inbox. Think of it as the digital version of a really good shoe organizer!

Cloud Computing Simplifies Your Life

Remember how, as a kid, you looked up at the clouds and ignited your imagination? Windows puts a technological spin on that childhood fantasy, by letting PC users create their own personal clouds where they can create, connect, and share all of the important facets of their lives.


At its core, Windows Live is designed to simplify everyday life by giving users cool tools in new ways. Getting started is easy, too. Once you have Windows 7, download Windows Live Essentials, and then get to the cloud. Some of the ways it will change your life:



Create - From editing your home movies in Movie Maker and photo editing the perfect holiday photo to working on dynamic Word documents that live online, Windows helps you maximize your creativity.


Connect - Collaborating with others to plan an event can be cinch thanks to the ability to sync and access your files from all of your devices (even the cool flyer you made on your home PC but forgot to print out). And, you can invite others to contribute their ideas using Windows Live Mesh. The old school days of PTA meetings in the cafeteria are numbered!


Share - No one likes facing down a clogged up inbox, even if it means seeing a great slideshow of your sister€™s bridal shower. Upload your album in one click to your social media accounts using Windows Live Photo Gallery, and chat about them in real time using Windows Live Messenger.

Daily Obsesh - "Notebook" Laptop Case

So, you need something to carry your laptop in. It's gotta be functional and protect that computer you spent a good amount of money on. You could pick out a typical laptop case and get by just fine, or you could spice things up a bit and get something different! Urban Outfitters has created a really cute laptop case in the style of an old-school notebook. This cover is perfect for students looking to rock this Fall with flare! It's padded and has a zip closure so you'll keep your laptop in top top shape while rocking a super cute cover! It fits laptops up to 15 inches so for most, this is a perfect fit. When you pull this out of your bag or put it down on the table you're guaranteed to get a compliment here and there. So maybe the laptop has replaced pen and paper, but you can still pay homage to the most basic school supplies of all time!

Daily Obsesh - Water Pebble

We all know we need to do it. It's there, in the back of our minds... but we never seem to remember. That's right, saving water. Water conservation is something that should be at the forefront of everyone's mind but we all know how hard it is to remember that while scrubbing up in the shower. That's why Paul Priestman has created one of the cleverest little inventions ever! This cool looking pebble gets placed in your shower by the drain and records how long you take your shower. Over time, it progressively shortens your shower time and gets you to conserve water without even thinking about it! You set it once, and the pebble does all the rest of the work. Just pay attention to the color of the dot on the pebble and when it turns red you know you've used too much. The best part about this device? Less than 10 dollars!

Hot In The Hive: InCase Convertible iPad Cover

If you've finally broken down and decided to buy a coveted Apple iPad, the last thing you want to do is damage the thing!

The InCase Convertible iPad Cover makes your iPad look like more than just the latest toy or a glorified, oversized iPhone. It gives the gadget a more professional look (even if you're just using it to watch Netflix on your afternoon break) and helps protect from cracks and unsightly fingerprint smudges, while also providing a folded stand so you can set up your own hands-free mini screen! And at only $59.95, it's a small price to pay for a stylish upgrade for your precious iPad!
