Worth a mention

You'll soon start seeing something new when you "Google" something. Instead of a page of links that match your request, you'll get answers. Google, like Bing, will try and provide an answer to your question without directing you to another website. This is a pretty big makeover for the world's largest search engine. Google still accounts for 66% of the search market worldwide.

Speaking of...

A former Google executive is ripping his old company, calling it "just an ad company" now obsessed with harvesting people's private information. James Whitaker says  Google used to be about innovation and technology, and now it's just an advertising company. It should be noted that Whitaker is now a proud employee of Microsoft.

If you're a woman going through menopause, I'm going to tell you something, but you're going to forget it. Menopause causes 'brain fog,' or the ability to take in new information and manipulate it, like calculating a tip. No kidding, says every woman going through it this morning, but now there's new research to back it up. Up to two-thirds of women report memory lapses during this stage. Tip: When you get a new piece of information, repeat it out loud back to the person giving it to you -- it will help you hold the information longer.

What men think of your lipstick color

Men's Health chimes in on what the color of your lip-stick means to a guy... did you know you're sending a message? Do you care?

Classic red - A "look-at-me" color. It works as a beacon of sorts at a bar, and if you're on a date with your husband, it means you're kicking it up a notch. Downside: You can't kiss a girl with bright red lips -- you'll end up looking like a clown.

Hot pink - Adventurous. It says you're not afraid of a little bit of rock-n-roll.

Dark Purple/burgundy - This says she’s not afraid to take risks. It tells me that she’s edgy and could be challenging in a good way. On the right woman, dark color is intriguing.

Neutral - you look like a corpse, like you’ve been out in the cold too long. It’s disconcerting.

Bright Orange - she’s got a spicy personality and is probably a lot of fun. Very confident. Not afraid to try something that’s different.

Metallic - It's a teenage thing, so if you’re “Sex in the City” age, you can come off a little trashy. Glitter should stay in the strip club.

Why drinking beer and screaming at your husband is good for you

Women's Day highlights a few things we've been told to shy away from, that are actually good for us. Here are a few...

**Drinking a huge cup of coffee - or two -- A recent study proved that women have a 15% lower risk of depression after drinking two to three cups of coffee a day.

**Scream! Anger is a good emotion that motivates you to take action and fix what's wrong. Three steps you need to take:

1) Figure out exactly what triggered your anger. 
2) Consider any other emotions that may be behind your anger. 
3) Plan a course of action to fix the situation.
Done

**Drink beer!  Mmmmm beer.  Beer, if you don't know, has disease-fighting anti oxidants, iron, and dietary silicon, a mineral that promotes bone formation.  Yes, beer!  Downside, the calories.  Stick to only one per day.

JOKE OF THE DAY
A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her
five and six year olds. After explaining the commandment to "honor thy
father and thy mother," she asked, "Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?" Without missing a beat one little boy answered: "Thou shall not kill.
