Bengals Wide Receiver Chad Ochocinco isn’t taking the NFL’s ban on tweeting before, during, and after games lying down, it seems. A few weeks ago, the wide receiver outlined his plan to tweet while on the field. Using hand signals to a fan, he hoped to circumvent the NFL’s policy . Of course, the NFL didn’t appreciate that, so they released a new social media restrictions that banned him or anyone representing him from tweeting.

Seriously, is FarmTown that important? A Pennsylvania burglar is behind bars after signing onto Facebook mid-burgle from the victim’s computer . Stupid? Unnecessary? That’s not even the worst part. Jonathan Parker, 19, didn’t bother logging off when robbing the home of two rings valued at more than $3500, nevermind deleting the history or cookies or not using the stupid internet when he was burgling someone’s house. On August 28th, the victim reported that her home had been broken into through a window, and obvious signs of a break-in were apparent.

Finally! I’ve been using Twitter m for about a year and a half now, and one thing that has always bugged me was the gruesome default avatar assigned to people who, for whatever reason, have chosen not to upload a photo. I have remarked that they shouldn’t let you send any tweets until you upload some kind of avatar. The old one was obviously just a lowercase o and a zero, separated by an underscore, which form a sort of creepy ASCII face, maybe squinting. The new is a lovely bird, Twitter’s brand mascot and symbol.

But quietly Twitter has been making some subtle interface changes too. A few days ago, some of our readers noticed some font changes to Twitter pages. But two changes that seem to have rolled out today also piqued our interest. First, there is now a new “Follow Bar” which provides a cleaner interface for following, replying, or blocking specific Twitter users.
