Facebook will soon make changes to its home screen again. This time it's adding two new ways of viewing your news feed: "Recent Activity" and "Top News" to help people sort through things they might have missed. It's also reintroducing items that used to be in the feed but aren't anymore, like event RSVPs, friend adds, and relationship changes.

Apple just released its fourth quarter financial report, and it's mostly great news. It was the company's most profitable quarter of all time, and that's due in no small part to the iPhone. The report also revealed that Apple has sold 7.4 million iPhones to date.

Google announced on its blog that it is offering free Wi-Fi on all Virgin Airlines flights between November 10th and January 15th, a welcome boon for holiday travelers and good PR for the company.
