Hello, this is Patric Welch, otherwise known as Mr. Noobie^®, and this is the Weekly Wrap-up with Mr. Noobie for Friday, March 9, 2012.

Facebook released a Windows-based Messenger program earlier this week that allows you to chat with your Facebook friends even when you’re not on Facebook. This is great news because now all of your friends can bother you even more frequently throughout the day.

Delta Airlines will begin offering a free limited-access Wi-Fi service on its flights. The free version will restrict viewing to specific websites such as Amazon.com and Amazonwireless.com. So while you’ll now be able to purchase that New York Times bestselling book you’ve been wanting from 30,000 feet in the air, you still won’t be able to purchase things like good service, real food, and clean bathrooms.

Social media and technology website Mashable recently discovered that Facebook’s new Timeline feature allows personal profiles to go back as far as the year 1800 in their timeline. So now instead of not caring what your friends had for breakfast this morning you can also not care what your friend’s great great great grandpa had for breakfast in 1806.

A new study shows that sports fans just can’t enough of their sports. Nearly 80% of sports fans check scores on their mobile devices from work, at the movies, in church, and even from the bathroom. The bathroom? Really?

The long-awaited iPad 3 is finally here. Among its new features are a retina display, a better camera, and 4G LTE access. But according to Apple, it’s not called the iPad 3, just the “new iPad.” Riiiiiiiiight, because that name is so catchy and unique no one will ever refer to the new iPad as the iPad 3.

That’s it for this week’s edition of the weekly wrap-up with Mr. Noobie. I’m Mr. Noobie^®, otherwise known as Patric Welch and I’ll see you next week.
