Is There An Easy Way to Get Back With Your Ex Girlfriend? There Might Be!
Usually we hear cliches about how the easy way is not always the best way and that you have to really put in a lot of effort to get the things that you want in life. I think that those ideas are pretty accurate most of the time, but I do think that there are certain shortcuts that you can take to get what you want as well. I don't mean shortcuts that are bad, I mean doing things in a certain way that tend to yield quicker results.

Getting Back Your Ex Girlfriend - What If You Don't Want to Move On?
Knowing that you should try to move on after you have broken up with someone and actually being able to do it are two entirely different things. Just because you know that you should try to get on with your life doesn't necessarily mean that you are going to be able to just do that without feeling any reservations at all. You might want to do the right thing and move on and forget about the break up, but what if you can't seem to do that and you find that you keep on thinking about her, no matter what you do?

US Supreme Court to look at NSA spying, resale of products
The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments Monday in two cases with potentially broad implications to technology users, one reviewing whether consumers can resell copyright-protected products they have purchased and the second challenging an electronic surveillance program at the U.S. National Security Agency.
In one case, Kirtsaeng v. John Wiley & Sons, the court will hear a challenge to the long-established first-sale doctrine, which allows consumers to resell products protected by copyright without the copyright owner?s permission. The case, examining whether products manufactured overseas are protected by the first-sale doctrine, could have a huge impact on eBay, Craigslist, libraries and ordinary U.S. residents who try to resell a wide range of products made overseas, including CDs, DVDs and books, critics say.
The court battle involves a Thai student who imported textbooks into the U.S. from his homeland and sold them on eBay in competition with the publisher.
A lower court ordered Supap Kirtsaengto, who attended graduate school in the U.S., to pay John Wiley & Sons Inc. US$600,000 for importing the publisher?s textbooks, available for a lower cost in Thailand.

Carphone Warehouse in store advertising backs up earlier pricing information for LG Nexus 4
In a week quite literally filled with LG Nexus 4 leaks, UK retailer Carphone Warehouse accidentally pulled the trigger on their pre-order page for the device. Contained within was plenty of juicy tidbits about Google's next Nexus smartphone, including some hints at pricing. Following this, we then saw leaked internal inventory screens that seemed to back it up further still.
Now, it seems, the very same retailer -- in some locations at least -- has already started to display their in store price advertising for the Nexus 4. It says that the device will be free on new and upgrade contracts from £31 per month, and that for £389.95 you can buy one out right.
What is lacking from this price tag however, is any indication of storage size. But, it's a weekend, so we're not going to get into that debate right now. We'll leave that to you folks in the forums, which is where you should be headed to talk up -- or down -- the LG Nexus 4 to your hearts content.
