it's Friday November twelfth I'm Natali del Conte and it's time to get loaded Facebook has some kind of big announcement on Monday the signs are pointing to perhaps a new messaging or mail announcement Facebook has been said to be working on this for some time now so your Facebook account would have its own email address at facebook.com/ a gmail killer perhaps I don't really think they could possibly do a better job at email than gmail but we'll see we'll bring you the news when we have it Viacom is going to sell off Harmonix the maker of rock band Viacom owns MTV Comedy Central and Nickelodeon as well as the movie studio Paramount Pictures Harmonix was an odd addition to the company's media products and apparently Viacom think so too they plan to sell off the gaming division because it is just not what they wanted and sales had disappointed Apple has teamed up with Twitter to promote ping its music social network that lives inside of iTunes ping hasn't really taken off like the iPad and Apple is hoping to change that by going social now you can tweet about your music from inside of ping and when you do your tweet will link to an info box with information about that music and listening samples use this as cocktail banter sometime did you know that 35 hours of video is uploaded to YouTube every minute it's true youtube announced this on Thursday that breaks out to 2100 hours of video every hour or fifty thousand four hundred hours of video every day that's pretty staggering especially when you consider how much of it is utter crap as you gave up to shop this holiday season keep in mind that walmart is offering free shipping with no minimum purchase requirement this is starting now and Black Friday is still a few weeks away the offer is good until December twentieth at which time you will pay the penalty of being a procrastinator Microsoft has received a patent for computing with your feet the company applied for this patent a few years ago now it is theirs it's called foot based interface for interfacing with a computer it would allow you to mouse around a computer with your feet it's not only an alternative for people without all their limbs or limb function but also people who have other obligations like a baby in their arms to compute while multitasking Android users hustler has you covered there is a new hustler app for Google's mobile operating system and I'm going to quote the press release here it says it focuses on current hustler honey's as well as classic all-stars from the past 36 years and includes photos and videos behind-the-scenes interviews and all-new hustler talent and whoever said Android wasn't sexy those are all your headlines for today and that wraps up your week of getting loaded we'll see on monday I'm Natali del Conte for cnet.com and you've just been loaded
