Walt Disney can now add Spiderman to its lineup of classic characters. The Mouse House just snapped up Marvel Comics for $4 billion dollars. The deal gives Disney five thousand Marvel characters, like Iron Man and the Incredible Hulk. And Marvel, gives Disney access to the demographic of young males, a contrast to Disney's female demographics following Hannah Montana and Jonas Brothers. The question is, which Marvel hero will Disney raise up to be the next blockbuster hit? We asked the experts.

What's the killer application on the mobile phone? It's not voice, not a text, and not even a virtual assistant. It is your very own discovery engine which lets you know who's around and what is around. Aloqa is a new service that provides such recommendations and knowledge of which friends are nearby. Aloqa's CEO Sanjeev Agrawal told Bambi Francisco in a recent interview that Aloqa knows that to recommend, mostly based on a user's input of preferences and Facebook friends. It's sounds like a great service. But what happens to all those white lies people often make?
