Pinterest Will Now Notify Users Of Price Drops On Pinned Products

Pinterest Will Now Notify Users Of Price Drops On Pinned Products

Today Pinterest announced that it is rolling out a new feature which will notify users when prices of items they have pinned goes down. It was back in May when Pinterest allowed users to see the current price of pins from a select group of websites. Users could view the price whenever they wanted to, but they wouldn't know if the price was dropped without notice. From now on, Pinterest will send an email to users who have a specific item pinned, as soon as there's a price drop.
There's no action required from the user. They don't have to fill in a form or sign up for this feature.

Watch Tony Stewart violently crash a Sprint Car

Watch Tony Stewart violently crash a Sprint Car

Tony Stewart is a racecar driver. There aren't really any ifs, ands or buts about that. Unlike the sheltered stars of other sports that would rarely be caught dead around the lower levels, Stewart actively seeks out midget and sprint races, often on dirt tracks around the country. Stewart got started in these smaller, local events, and hasn't stopped racing in them since hitting it big.
His latest outing, at Ohsweken Speedway in Ontario, didn't end quite so well, according to a report from Yahoo! Sports.

Ferrari considering return to Le Mans racing in 2015

Ferrari considering return to Le Mans racing in 2015

Rumors are swirling that Ferrari may be contemplating a return to Le Mans racing as soon as 2015. Germany's Auto Motor und Sport reports the Italian automaker may apply the development of a new 1.6-liter turbocharged V6 engine for Formula One to an LMP1 car for Le Mans, and have it ready for the 24 Hours of Le Mans in two years. This follows hints made by Scuderia Ferrari CEO Stefano Domenicali last month that the newly developed F1 engine could be used for "some interesting projects.". Ferrari has a history of success in Le Mans racing, though it hasn't won the big endurance outright since 1965.

Penalties possible for drivers wearing Google Glass in US and UK

Penalties possible for drivers wearing Google Glass in US and UK

The key feature of Google Glass is that it basically puts an Android smartphone on users' heads, allowing them hands-free operation of many smartphone features, including web browsing, phone calls, texting and navigation. A small heads-up display rests directly above the right eye, making it seem like a match made in heaven for drivers, who could use Glass without taking their hands off the wheel. But lawmakers already are planning to ban the device from being used while driving before it has even been released to the general public, Engadget reports.

VW launches Car-Net telematics system with brace of safety features

Starting with select 2014 models, Volkswagen will offer an in-car assistance system called Car-Net, which comes with safety features such as location-based roadside assistance, automatic crash notification, remote vehicle unlock, destination assistance and more. The system is very similar to General Motors' OnStar, but VW is quick to point out that a subscription to Car-Net gives the owner access to all of its features. OnStar requires that subscribers pay extra for its navigation function.

Facebook public post embedding announced

Is Facebook moving away from a mainly private social network?  Until now, there wasn't an easy way to embed Facebook status updates, posts, or your favorite photo/video of the moment into other news websites or blogs.  Well, today that all changed.  Facebook wants to branch out into more "live" web events – think Twitter-esque.  Only a handful of websites (Bleacher Report, CNN, Huffington Post, Mashable, and PEOPLE) are currently participating, but it's expected to spread quickly.
