But if anyone is going to pull a turn-around off at RockYou, it’s Lisa Marino. Marino joined RockYou in better days, when her husband Ro Choy was the company’s head of business development. Choy left to start his own thing, but Marino stayed on, continually taking on more and more sales and executive responsibility as the company began to crumble.
She took over as chief operating officer nine months ago, managing layoffs (including possibly RockYou’s founder Lance Tokuda) while she successfully recruited new gaming talent starting with senior VP of games Jonathan Knight. Likewise, she spent nine months cutting expenses dramatically, while managing to grow the top line more than 40% in the fourth quarter. Typically, those two don’t go hand-in-hand.
Presented with a much leaner, faster-growing social gaming company with plenty of cash in the bank, the board was pleased enough with Marino’s job to give her a promotion to CEO. But will these early victories be enough to turn the company around and differentiate itself from larger, sexier players like Zynga?
Marino tells us her hopes and fears for RockYou in the clip below.

The Simple Form Saver userscript adds a small button to the corner of your screen on form pages. After filling out the form (or during the process, just to be safe), all you need to do is click that button and it will save the entire form, as-is, for you. That way if you need to come back and you find the form empty, you can just hit the button again to have the entire page restored exactly the way you had it. It isn't the only form saver on the planet, but it is one of the best I've seen in a while.
Obviously, this isn't always a problem—things like LastPass might be able to fill in some forms for you. I've found, however, that these are never that reliable, and often only fill in a few things that I want, if that (and they aren't always accurate). And it doesn't work if you're filling out some other type of more obscure form. Simple Form Filler is remarkably reliable, since it just copies whatever you have on the page instead of trying to "guess" which boxes apply to which of its saved values. Plus it has a ton of other features—Hit the link to see what else it can do, and to try it out in your favorite Greasemonkey-compatible browser.

Everyone likes a good podcast—and if you don't you should!—but Apple doesn't exactly make it easy to make sure you're staying up to date. Instacast, essentially an RSS reader for podcasts, makes it super simple to find podcasts, listen to them at home, or download them for when you're out and about.
Instacast, $2, iPhone. There's a lot not to like about the podcast manager that's built in to iOS. It relies heavily on iTunes and syncing. It doesn't make finding new podcasts particularly easy nor keeping the ones you already subscribe to up to date. If you listen to podcasts even occasionally, it's worth checking out Instacast, a full-on podcast solution that will slurp up the ones you're already subscribed to, point out popular podcasts, and, mercifully, let you refresh all your podcasts with a single tap and download them for offline listening in a snap.
People who listen to podcasts; people who want to see how Apple should be doing the podcast thang.
It's totally intuitive, grabs the podcasts you already subscribe to (making the transition totally painless), and does it all with a simple, unobstrusive interface that actually looks right at home next to the iPod app. Basically, you could forget you're using a third party podcast app at all. And the "pull to refresh" mechanism, a la Twitter, feels as good as ever.
Please, an iPad version for my beloved video podcasts! My only other complaint is that the "popular" list skews heavily towards nerdy Mac-related podcasts, but I guess that's more a problem with the user base.
We're always looking for cool apps—for iOS, Android, Windows Phone or whatever else—to feature as App of the Day. If you come across one you think we should take a look at, please let us know.

It all began when KLM airline announced they'd be doing direct flights from Amsterdam to Miami at the end of March, and Dutch DJ Seid van Riel and producer Wilco Jung replied, asking them to about the possibility of moving the flight one week ahead of schedule, so they could get to Miami for a music festival.
Keen to help (or grab some headlines), KLM replied with the daunting challenge—if they could find enough people to fill the plane to capacity, they would oblige by moving the inaugural flight forwards. Naturally the DJ and producer managed to find fellow passengers, and as you can see in the video below, the whole thing was documented by the press, and won them the Guinness record for the highest altitude dance party. The record to beat now stands at 10km above sea level. [Social-Times]

By default, there doesn't seem to be an easy way to just add any old web site to Chrome's new tab page. If you want just as quick access to, say, Lifehacker as you do the New York Times or TweetDeck, reader andrew.yeh.10 shows us how:
You can create webapps for the Chrome new tab page even if they're not in the Chrome Web Store.
Make a new folder and create a new text file called "manifest.json" inside it. Fill in the name, description, urls, and launch page:
{ "name": "Name_of_web_app", "description": "Description of web app", "version": "1.0", "icons": { "128": "128.png" }, "app": { "urls": [ "http://yourwebsitehere.com" ], "launch": { "web_url": "http://yourwebsitehere.com" } }, "permissions": [ "unlimitedStorage", "notifications" ] } Then, in the same folder, save a 128x128 png image as "128.png." This will be used as the webapp's icon.
After this is done, go to chrome://extensions/. Open up the developer mode (top right) and "Load unpacked extension." Navigate to the folder you created and hit OK.
Alternatively, you can "Pack extension" by clicking the option and navigating to the folder. This will create an installable .crx file.
Dropbox can keep your personal chrome web apps in sync between computers.
