smartphone, the Galaxy S IV, features something called "eye scrolling." It
involves using your eyeballs to detect where the phone should be scrolling on

bottom of a page, it'll realize you need to see more and scroll down to show you
more text.

LOVE
AT FIRST SIGHT IS BIG AT WALMART _ Psychology Today stumbled on
something rather bizarre. It turns out the most popular place for people to find
'love at first sight' is... Walmart. There's a section of Craigslist devoted to
'missed connections'. These are posts by people leaving a message for someone
they met but didn't speak to in real life. For example, "If you were the girl
looking at the spandex at Walmart, we need to hook up." Analyzing these posts,
more people thought they saw the love of their life in Walmart than anywhere
else in the United States.
