Facebook is expected to become a social network of the "living dead" around 2065, as the number of dead people's profiles will exceed the number of living people. To prevent this from happening, since it is still intended to maintain and establish contacts, Facebook is now also getting a (digital) will, which means that you can entrust the management of your profile to someone else after your death. Until now, it has only frozen, and even for that it was necessary to overcome many bureaucratic obstacles.

Microsoft continues to push the boundaries with its Lumia smartphones, but not so much in terms of user experience and technology itself, but rather the price, which continues to slide down. Which is clearly encouraging news, as the Lumia, with the working name of RM-1099, should be available for less than 60 euros. Obviously, you won't get a Fittipaldi for this, but it will satisfy all those users who still use smartphones "on a whim" or who are not too demanding.
LG is betting a lot on smart watches, otherwise it wouldn't have introduced its third model in a relatively short time. The LG Watch Urbane, like the G Watch R and the diametric opposite of the Apple Watch, is a classic watch in appearance, but in reality, the heart of Android is hidden under the dial. LG is not sending a unisex model to the market, as it will be available in gold and silver, as it counts on both sexes equally.
