Carrying on in the esteemed tradition of Facebook hackathons, there will be an all-nighter at the company's Menlo Park headquarters that culminates with
CEO Mark Zuckerberg ringing in the NASDAQ bell ahead of the company's much, much, much anticipated IPO

Zuck will probably give some remarks as he has ahead of other hackathons.
How Personal Capital Wants To Bring Money Management Into The Internet Age [TCTV]
Personal Capital
, which
launched last year
, provides a suite of software aimed at helping people manage all their personal finances -- no matter where they are -- through one central suite of web and mobile apps. Earlier this month Personal Captial was named "Best In Show" at the
FinovateSpring
, a conference in San Francisco focused on all things financial and technology related, so it certainly seems to be onto something big. So when Personal Capital put out its first
iPhone app

Why The Internet Doesn’t Make Us Care More About Politics
American politics used to be fun: frequent political carnivals in the 19th century would mix parties, parades, and political speeches in an endless stream of local civic life. As a result, America had an astonishingly high turnout, between 70-90%, in presidential and local elections. Yet, the Internet has never quite captured the emotional gravity of real-life engagement, and keeps tripping up multi-million dollar campaigns designed to inject life into an otherwise passive electorate. For example, take two technology initiatives that were widely predicted to dramatically increase democratic engagement: Obama's 2008 campaign and Americans Elect. Despite the hype, Barack Obama's juggernaut of a online campaign only
boosted youth turnout by a meager 2%

It’s Time For A Larger iPhone
The Wall Street Journal
reported this morning
that Apple is currently ordering larger screens for the next iPhone. With the usual nonsense, the WSJ cited people familiar with the matter and stated these screens measure at least 4-inches diagonally. Production is set to begin next month, they say. The Journal better be right, though. A 3.5-inch screen is just too small now. At this point to say anything to the contrary is pure fanboi nonsense. The standard argument that consumers don't want a large phone is tired and overused. Besides, it's effectively proven wrong by the 20 million Galaxy S II phones sold by Samsung last year. It's time for a larger iPhone.

creeping
into Gmail lately as well. Today, Google is
bringing even more of Google+ to its email client

In addition, if you really take your Google+ circles seriously, you'll be happy to hear that you can now use circles as search filters in Gmail as well. Say you want to just see emails from your "friends" circle, you can just type
circle:friends
to find them.

Viacom Gives Up Fight Against Time Warner Cable, Adds Channels to TWC iPad App
Customers of Time Warner Cable have some reason to rejoice today, as the cable company has gotten the go-ahead to
add channels like MTV, VH1, and Comedy Central to its live streaming iPad app
. The addition of those channels comes after both Time Warner Cable and the networks' owner, Viacom, have settled their differences and resolved litigation around the app. The
legal fight erupted last year
, after Time Warner Cable released its streaming iPad app, which lets subscribers stream live shows to tablets inside their homes. While many networks grumbled about the app, Viacom was most vocal in rejecting the app, taking its distribution partner to court over whether or not it had the right to stream to other devices.
How Many Daily Downloads Does It Take To Reach The Top Of The App Store? [Updated]
It's hard to underestimate how important ranking in Apple's top 25 in the iTunes store is for mobile app developers. After all, the top 25 is what one of the most important app discovery mechanisms for iOS users. But how many downloads does it take to make it into the top 25? Mobile analytics firm Distimo today published some interesting data that answer just this question. Turns out, in the U.S. store, the answer currently is about 38,400 daily downloads for free apps and 3530 for paid apps. To rank in the top 25 per category, of course, takes significantly fewer downloads, with games unsurprisingly being the most competitive category. It takes 25,300 daily downloads to rank in the gaming top 25 for free apps and 2280 downloads for paid apps.
