Mansion Gets A Multi-Million Dollar Makeover

It's the ultimate house party and it's our pleasure to introduce you to the new Mansion 360. The 40,000 square foot Miami mega-club was recently redesigned from floor to ceiling with unprecedented lighting and sound systems and an edgy new façade. The city of Miami Beach even declared Saturday, January 21st "Mansion Day" as the club reopened its doors to kick off a two day electro-fest deemed "Deadmau5 unhooked."

True to the new 360 concept, the DJ booth has been relocated to the center, promising guests a great performance no matter where they are on the dancefloor. Mansion goes beyond simple bottle service with the new VIP scene, complete with a full private bar with ample tables and seating, all in the shadow of world-renown DJs.

Lindsay Lohan Gets Naked...Again

LiLo is doing anything she can to make money these days, including stripping down and posing in Playboy, according to TMZ. She was initially offered $750K for the shoot but refused until the final asking price approached seven figures. Sources report that the shoot started over the weekend but Lindsay's rep has said, "I can neither confirm or deny at this time." It's not the first time the starlet has gotten naked in front of a camera. She posed nude for a 2008 photo shoot for New York Magazine imitating Marilyn Monroe and has bared her chest in other pictures, movies and music videos. Hopefully this chunk of change will get her through the new year.

Facebook’s Facial Recognition


Although still a work in progress, the Facebook facial recognition option has been present for about a month now. What it does is “helpfully” tag users using facial recognition technology. The idea is that it saves the time and effort of users finding each picture they’ve uploaded, highlighting a friend’s face, and tagging them. “Tagging” for those who don’t know adds a name to a face when the image is moused over. It also places the photo on the person in question’s profile under “Photos of You”. This sort of creates an ever-evolving photo album for users and highlight’s one of Facebook’s mission statements—to keep friends connected.
