The crew of Facebook is celebrating the social networking site's seventh birthday and it looks like they've gotten themselves a major present. It looks like they're moving from their current digs in Palo Alto, CA into the former home of Sun Microsystems in San Mateo, CA.
The current Palo Alto headquarters is nearing 2,000 employees which apparently has the current campus bursting at the seams and ready for expansion. The former Sun Microsystems property fits the bill, since they left the property after being acquired by Oracle. A press conference has been scheduled for February 8th to make the official announcement and give more information about the future of Facebook.

RumorTT- Is Apple giving us iOS 4.3 for Valentine's Day?
The beta version of iOS 4.3 has been out and about for a while now, and most reports have pointed towards mid-February for an official release. The folks at Macstories have a "reliable source" that may have nailed it down even further: February 14th at 10 AM PST.
That's right, Apple's not giving you flowers or chocolates for Valentine's Day; they may be giving you a nice iOS update. While it may not look pretty tied up in a bow, it may have some AirPlay fixes and iTunes app subscriptions among the usual bug fixes. While February 14th does fall on a Monday which is Apple's usual new release day, this is still just rumblings so don't completely count on them for the gift just yet.

iPhone 4 sets Verizon sales first day sales record in two hours
In an announcement that will shock nearly no one, Verizon has stated that pre-orders for the iPhone has set a new record for first day sales for the wireless company. The impressive part? It only took two hours to break the record.
Apparently a lot of people stayed up late to get their pre-orders in as the record was set from 3am-5am EST. Only current Verizon customers were able to get in on the early preorder opportunity, and they bought enough that Verizon has halted orders for the iPhone 4 until Wednesday. Non-Verizon customers still have to wait until next Thursday to make the switch. Sorry AT&T jumpers, supplies may be really limited by the time you're able to get in on the fun.

Android Market finally hits the web
Up until now, the only way to access the Android Market was directly via your mobile device. That has all changed with the official launch of the Android Market on the web.
The new web interface gives you a simple and easy to use way to score new apps for your phone. Search apps, find stuff you like, and after signing into your Google account you can tell the site to download straight to your phone without even having to plug it in. I downloaded an app via the Market on the web and it began downloading on my HTC Desire nearly instantly after clicking the download button. Check out the Android Market in its full PC glory here.

Nokia Bubbles unveiled at Nokia Beta Labs
When was the last time we saw something really cool or innovative from Nokia? The company isn't exactly known for edgy designs and cool new features. Nokia Beta Labs has a new and interesting offering it is showing off called Nokia Bubbles that can be downloaded now for compatible devices.
Bubbles puts little bubbles on the unlock screen of your device. The idea is that when you unlock the device rather than having to unlock, then navigate to what you wanted to do like check email or something, you can just unlock and go directly to what you want automatically.
This is done with little bubbles that float all around the screen of the smartphone. As soon as you hit the wake button to get the phone out of sleep mode you can touch one of the bubbles for the function you want, drag it to the drop point, and then the phone will unlock and go right to what you wanted to do. That is a really cool feature.

If you work from a notebook all the time, odds are you end up using that notebook around food and other items that could fall between the keys and create problems for you down the road.
