Second Life Payment Information
If you use a payment method other than PayPal or Skrill, the Lab is asking that you re-enter your card information. If, your card information was last entered before July 7, 2015.

You may have heard about Facebook testing to see if they could control their users emotions and thinking. Now we hear that they are working to help journalists discover trends in social media. At a surface level Facebook is thought to be interested in getting more eyes. One way to do that would be a primary news source and have people quoting you.
This new feature for journalists is known as Signal. It is only available to journalists that work for an acceptable media firm.
But, why the studies to shape emotion and thought? And why focus on reporters? Why can’t everyone use the feature? It is free to journalists…
I find it interesting that most mainstream media is pronouncing Carly Fiorina the winner of last night’s CNN facilitated Republican debate. Today the Drudge Report Poll is showing trump the winner by an enormous margin (over half a million respondents).
