Timeline gives you an easy way to rediscover the things you shared, and collect your most important moments. It also lets you share new experiences, like the music you listen to or the miles you run.

Starting today, timeline is now available everywhere. Here are some tips to help you get started.

7-day preview period

When you upgrade to timeline, you'll have seven days to review everything that appears on your timeline before anyone else can see it. You can also choose to publish your timeline at any time during the review period. If you decide to wait, your timeline will go live automatically after seven days. Your new timeline will replace your profile, but all your stories and photos will still be there.

If you want to see how your timeline appears to other people, click the gear menu at the top of your timeline, and select "View As." You can choose to see how your timeline appears to a specific friend or the public.

Feature or hide stories

As you explore your timeline, you may see stories that you want to feature, like your graduation or the day you bought your first car. There might also be stuff that you want to remove or hide from your timeline.

To feature something on your timeline, roll over the story and click the star to expand it to two columns. Or you can click the pencil to hide, delete or edit a post.

Use the privacy dropdown to adjust who can see any of your posts. You can even select "Only Me" for posts you want to keep but don't want others to see.

See all your activity

With timeline, now you have access to a new tool called Activity Log. Your activity log is a place where you can review all your posts and activity, from today back to when you first started using Facebook. Only you can see your activity log.

You'll see two dropdown menus next to each story in your activity log. The first lets you see and adjust the privacy of a post. The second lets you decide if you want the post to appear on your timeline. You can feature, hide or delete any of your posts.

To quickly find a certain type of story, click the "All" dropdown at the top of your activity log and select what you're looking for. For example, you can choose to see only photos or posts from apps.

Android 4.1, Jelly Bean: The world’s most popular platform gets even better

Introducing Android 4.1, Jelly Bean

Android 4.1, Jelly Bean, is the fastest and smoothest version of Android yet. Jelly Bean improves on the simplicity and beauty of Android 4.0, and introduces a new Google search experience on Android.

Fast & smooth

With buttery graphics and silky transitions. We put Android under a microscope, making everything feel fast, fluid, and smooth. Moving between home screens and switching between apps is effortless, like turning pages in a book.

More reactive and uniform touch responses mean you can almost feel the pixels beneath as your finger moves across the screen. Jelly Bean makes your Android device even more responsive by boosting your device’s CPU instantly when you touch the screen, and turns it down when you don’t need it to improve battery life.

Simple, beautiful and beyond smart

Expandable, actionable notifications.

Android has always put you in control when it comes to staying notified and connected. Now you can take action directly from the notifications shade. Late for a meeting? Email everyone to let them know. Missed a call? Call them back in an instant. And because they’re expandable, you can get an even deeper look into the things that matter most, like multiple emails or photos on Google+.

Widgets work like magic.

With Jelly Bean it’s now even easier to personalize your home screen. As you place widgets on the screen, everything else automatically moves to make room. When they’re too big, widgets resize on their own. Interacting with your favorite apps and customizing your home screen has never been easier.

Seamlessly take and share photos.

Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich, made snapping photos super fast; Jelly Bean brings that same speed to the next step: viewing. Just swipe over from camera to filmstrip view to instantly view the photos you just took, and quickly swipe away the ones you don’t like. Now sharing--and bragging--are a breeze.

A smarter keyboard.

Android’s dictionaries are now more accurate, more relevant. The language model in Jelly Bean adapts over time, and the keyboard even guesses what the next word will be before you’ve started typing it. With improved text-to-speech capabilities, voice typing on Android is even better; it works even when you don’t have a data connection, so you can type with your voice everywhere you go.

Accessibility.

With Jelly Bean, blind users can use 'Gesture Mode' to reliably navigate the UI using touch and swipe gestures in combination with speech output. Jelly Bean also adds support for accessibility plugins to enable external Braille input and output devices via USB and Bluetooth.

Android Beam.

With Android Beam on Jelly Bean you can now easily share your photos and videos with just a simple tap, in addition to sharing contacts, web pages, YouTube videos, directions, and apps. Just touch two NFC-enabled Android devices back-to-back, then tap to beam whatever's on the screen to your friend. Instantly pair your Android phone or tablet to Bluetooth devices like headsets or speakers that support the Simple Secure Pairing standard by just tapping them together - no more syncing or searching required.

A new look for Search.

Android has search at its core. With Jelly Bean, a redesigned experience uses the power of the Knowledge Graph to show you search results in a richer way. It’s easier to quickly get answers and explore and browse search results.

Voice Search.

Sometimes you’d rather just speak your search query. Or just ask a question. Android lets you search the web with your voice, and it’s convenient for getting quick answers on the fly. It speaks back to you and is powered by the Knowledge Graph, bringing you a precise answer if it knows it, and precisely ranked search results, so you can always find out more

What to expect at Apple's WWDC next week

Just got this news from cnet.com and I wanna share it with you!

Apple's annual developers conference kicks off next week, and there's no shortage of things to expect in the way of new software and hardware.
Piecing together months' worth of rumors, CNET has compiled a short list of things to expect during Monday's keynote. And of course be sure to tune in Monday morning, when we'll bring you live coverage from the show.

Tune in Monday anytime after 8 a.m. PT for our Apple WWDC keynote live blog.

iOS 6
iOS is one of the big reasons WWDC has become a hard ticket to nab by developers. The software, which powers the iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, and even Apple TV, is also home to the App Store where developers can sell apps. It's typically given a big update once a year, and this year is no different.

As for what to expect, the talk of the town has been an overhauled mapping application. Before your eyes glaze over, the word on that has been that there will be 3D features similar to the ones Google demoed earlier this week.
Perhaps a more exciting iOS 6 rumor is that it will add Siri -- at least for iPad users. A report from 9to5Mac last week made that claim, suggesting Apple was keen on adding the voice assistant software, which so far has been an iPhone 4S exclusive, for owners of Apple's latest tablet.
Other things that could show up are integration with Facebook (something we've heard before), and a handful of small tweaks to system apps like Safari and e-mail, all based on changes found in Mountain Lion.
When to expect all this is another matter. Given Apple's track record, it's safe to say you won't be able to get it Monday, that is unless you're a developer. Apple tends to run through several beta versions of the software with developers ahead of a public release. There's a good reason for that too: the software often has bugs and last-minute features that need ironing out.
Mountain Lion price, release date
Apple's next big cat was let out of the bag in February as part of an announcement that took most developers by surprise. Developers have had the last four months or so to ready their apps for the new features, some of which require selling through Apple's Mac App Store.

As a quick recap, Mountain Lion brings a handful of iOS features to Macs, including the aforementioned notes and reminders. It also adds a few other things, like Twitter integration and Apple's Game Center and iMessage services. There's also a new security feature called Gatekeeper, designed to fend off malware by controlling what applications can and cannot be installed.
Expect Apple to give Mountain Lion a price and a release date. For Lion last year, that was $34.99 and an early July arrival.
Updated Macs
Much of Apple's Mac lineup has become a bit long in the tooth, something that's expected to change next week. An alleged parts list that leaked earlier this week suggests Apple's MacBook Pro and Air lines are getting updates, along with the iMac and Mac Pro. Those latter two machines are long overdue for new bits; Apple hasn't updated the iMac since last May, while the Mac Pro has been left untouched since July 2010.
As for what to expect in the way of newness, an obvious addition is Intel's new batch of processors, code-named Ivy Bridge. Those chips began showing up in computers last month, and are not just faster but pack an extra graphics punch as well.

But the real story is in real hardware changes. Apple has long been rumored to be working on MacBook Pros that ditch the optical drive in favor of size. That might sound a lot like the MacBook Air line, but the difference here is that the machines would still have the bevy of ports and plugs, and traditional hard drive storage.
The other rumored change is a move to so-called "Retina Displays" on Macs, beginning with the 15-inch notebook. This is the kind of screen where the pixels are so tightly packed you can't see them when using the product. That feature first cropped up on the iPhone, and has since migrated over to the iPod Touch and iPad. According to one analyst CNET spoke with last month, those screens are already floating around the supply chain.
Evidence of both these things coming to Apple's notebooks -- at least the 15-inch model -- cropped up earlier this week in some leaked box shots (1, 2), which have not been confirmed. One other thing on that list was USB 3.0, an addition that makes a lot of sense given that the speedier connection is supported out of the gate with Intel's latest chips.
My CNET colleagues Dan Ackerman and Rich Brown have a much fuller list of updates they expect on the Mac here.
iCloud additions
Apple demoed iCloud for the first time at last year's show, releasing it to the public about four months later. The company is expected to add a few new features to the service's Web site, mainly notes and reminders. Both features appeared in a "beta" and "dev" version of iCloud.com last month, but not on the service's public-facing site. Why those apps would be there is not rocket science: notes and reminders are headed to the Mac with Mountain Lion.
Worth noting is that Apple's MobileMe site and service shut down at the end of the month. This has been in the cards since iCloud -- which is free -- replaced the $99 a year subscription service.
