Facebook 'Likes' your wallet, paid ‘Promote’ button rolls to some personal accounts

Facebook has been testing the "Pay to promote" feature on "Pages" for some time now, this feature has now been rolled out to some personal accounts as well.

As you can see in the images posted below Facebook prompted me to promote an "birthday wish" personal message by paying for it, paying to promote an post results in higher placement of item in newspost ensuring greater visibility. It seems facebook has now started to "LIKE" your wallets, hope they do not push the envelope too far.

Apple to sale iPhone 5 in India directly

Posted: 18 Sep 2012 07:29 PM PDT

Traditionally, Apple has sold iPhone's in India via carrier partners like Airtel, Vodafone and Aircel. But this is soon going to change as reported by "BGR India", according to their reliable sources Apple will be taking over the distribution process for upcoming iPhone 5 India launch and will also take-care of future iPhone 4S and iPhone 4 sales in India. To get things started Apple has already appointed the India sales team and had contracted Ingram Micro and Redington for iPhone distribution.

Apple's direct entry into Indian market is definitely a good sign for local consumers, as this not only shows importance of Indian market to Apple but also means faster launches with best prices as "multi-layer distribution model" was adding to the cost of products.
