Isaac Lamb, we salute you.

The 31-year-old Portland-based actor is the creative force behind "Isaac's Lip-Dub Proposal," an over-the-top marriage proposal video that has gone viral on the Internet.

In the six days since the video was posted online, it has already racked up more than 11.2 million views, and with good reason. This video is INSANE.

About 60 people helped Lamb create the memorable marriage proposal, performing an elaborately choreographed street dance to the song "Marry Me" by Bruno Mars while Lamb's soon-to-be fiancee, Amy Frankel, clutched at her heart and squealed.

When the dance was over, Lamb himself appeared in a suit, and asked Frankel for her hand in marriage.

You can guess what she said.

The video is called "Isaac's Lip-Dub Proposal" because he had Frankel wear headphones to listen to the song while the dancers pretended to sing the words.

The video got a viewer boost when Mars, who has no relationship to Lamb or Frankel, tweeted a link to the video to his 9.6 million...

California is one step closer to banning law enforcement from tapping the data from the tracking device in your palm, pocket or purse without a warrant.

The state Senate passed a bill Wednesday that requires a warrant to seek access from wireless carriers to the near-constant data stream coming from our cellphones. 

Existing law addresses only the search of places and seizure of property identified in a warrant. There's also a warrant procedure for acquiring stored communications. The bill, SB 1434, amends the state Penal Code to address location data collected by our ubiquitous electronic devices, including our mobile phones.

“In order to ensure personal privacy in California, our laws must keep pace with the technological advances of smartphones and other electronic gadgets, which contain sensitive information about our daily lives,” Sen. Mark Leno (D-San Francisco) said. “This bill strikes a perfect balance to safeguard Californians against improper government...

Aaron Sorkin, who is writing an upcoming film about Steve Jobs, said he will write the lead character as if Jobs were writing a letter to God on why he should be allowed into heaven.

The Academy Award-winning screenwriter who has been charged with putting together the script for the film "Steve Jobs," said his story will depict Jobs as a hero. He also said the movie will not focus on the whole of Jobs' life but rather a "point of friction."

Jobs "is an extremely complicated guy," he said, according to Engadget. "I can't judge the character. He has to, for me, be a hero. I have to find the parts of him that are like me. I have to be able to defend this character."

"With someone like Steve Jobs, to put it as simply as possible, you want to write the character as if they are writing their letter to God on why they should be allowed into heaven," he said at the D10 conference. 

Sorkin said he was initially hesistant to take on the job of writing the screenplay for the movie, which is based on...

Politicians might want to get tech-savvy fast or just leave their social media to an expert, because the days of do-overs are done.

A new website that records every tweet published and subsequently deleted by politicians was launched Wednesday, and it's not cutting any of our publicly elected officials a break.

The new site, called Politwoops and launched by the Sunlight Foundation, already has more than 300 pages of collected tweets from members of Congress, the president and other presidential hopefuls, according to its press release.

Politwoops records the deleted tweet, the time it was tweeted and how long after until it was deleted. The site also includes pages for each politician and allows users to search tweets as well as sort by political party.

"From minor typos to major gaffes, Politwoops is now there to offer a searchable window into what they hoped you didn't see," Politwoops' press release reads.

The Sunlight Foundation based their version of Politwoops off of the original...

Paul Ceglia, the New York state man behind a high-profile lawsuit against Facebook Inc., is on the verge of losing another set of lawyers.

The law firm Milberg is asking the judge overseeing the case in Buffalo, N.Y., if it can withdraw less than three months after it took on Ceglia as a client, according to a motion filed with the court. Sanford Dumain, the chairman of Milberg’s executive committee, is the lead lawyer on the team representing Ceglia. His spokesman declined to comment.

Ceglia, who says a 2003 contract with Mark Zuckerberg entitles him to half of the Facebook founder and chief executive’s multibillion-dollar stake, has had nine sets of law firms.

Orin Snyder, who represents Facebook in the suit, said in an emailed statement: “The revolving door of lawyers is yet additional evidence that this abusive lawsuit is a hoax and a fraud.”

Dean Boland, an Ohio attorney representing Ceglia, said the Milberg firm was looking to withdraw from the case over...

After your doctor says the word "cancer," muting all other sound from your ears, the best medicine to help in that moment might just be a tablet -- computer, that is. Technology, it seems, isn't all brain; it can also have heart.

"There's something about the distance that a machine gives you that's different from a person and different from paper," said Matt Loscalzo, co-creator of the SupportScreen. "People will give information to machines that [is] deeply personal."

SupportScreen is a web-based app designed to address in real-time the specific needs of patients dealing with a cancer diagnosis. Within about 15 minutes, patients go through at their own pace the questionnaire.

The hospital also learns from the responses about the kinds of issues they need to build programs around. Fatigue, for instance, is a common complaint from participating patients, Loscalzo said. City of Hope was able to develop a program that included yoga classes to help address this challenge, he said.

Apple cult members, rejoice: Now you can brag that even your thermostat came from the Apple Store.

As of Wednesday morning, Apple added the Nest Learning Thermostat to the list of products it sells in its online store.

Like most of the items in the Apple store, the Nest Learning Thermostat isn't cheap. It costs about $250, or roughly five times as much as an average thermostat at Home Depot.

But it looks great -- with a sleek round shape and clean interface, and it can do lots of things your regular thermostat can't -- like use artificial intelligence to control the temperature in your house.

It is also compatible with iOS devices, so you can use your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Mac to control it.

The Nest Learning Thermostat was conceived by Tony Fadell -- a former Apple employee who is credited with designing the hardware for the iPod. Fadell left Apple in 2008, and started building the Nest Labs company in 2009, after he had an epiphany that a smart, elegant thermostat could help people...

Apple Inc. has acquired a small Italian start-up that specializes in digital music editing, according to an Italian blog.

The Cupertino, Calif., tech company purchased Redmatica, a small start-up whose most notable software is Keymap Pro, according to Fanpage. In all, the company has four software products.  

Apple has not officially confirmed the Redmatica takeover, but Fanpage includes a document from an Italian communications regulator that appears to back up the report.

However, Redmatica has low revenue streams, so Apple may have bought the company more for its talents than its products, according to TechCrunch, which was the first English-language site to report the news.

Apple may be trying to add to its arsenal of staffers working on its own Logic Pro and GarageBand music editing software.

Verizon announced plans to introduce next month a new Internet service that will double the download speeds of its current top service, which is already the fastest mass-scale service in the country.

The company will also more than double the speeds of most of its current plans while also introducing another tier of service.

At the new top speed, consumers could download a two-hour HD video in less than two and a half minutes, according to the company, which announced its plans Wednesday.

Verizon said the faster speeds are meant to accommodate the changing ways people are using the Internet.

"The ways we used the Internet and watched TV over the past 10 to 15 years have dramatically shifted," said Bob Mudge, president of Verizon's consumer and mass market business unit.

"With the emergence of smartphones, smart TVs, Blu-ray players, tablets and gaming consoles that also serve as over-the-top devices, consumers need more bandwidth to receive the highest-quality experience," he said.

Facebook got a big thumbs up from the city of Menlo Park, Calif., which cleared the way for the company's headquarters there to expand.

The City Council voted unanimously Tuesday night to back an environmental impact report and development agreement that will let Facebook employ thousands more.

Facebook will now be able to have about 6,600 workers on its Menlo Park campus, up from 3,600. It currently has about 2,200.

It’s paying Menlo Park millions of dollars over 10 years to cover the extra load on the city.

Next, Facebook will begin negotiations for another campus that it plans to build on the other side of the Bayfront Expressway. That campus will have five new buildings, giving Facebook room for as many as 9,400 staffers.

The neighboring city of Atherton is still unhappy about traffic headaches that will come with the expansion. The cities continue to negotiate.

The Internet just became Mitt Romney's worst enemy.

The Republican presidential nominee released a new iPhone app Tuesday called "With Mitt," which lets you take pictures with various stencil overlays promoting his presidential campaign. But it seems the Romney campaign didn't give the app enough scrutiny before putting it out into the wilds of the Internet, because among the stencils is one that reads "A Better Amercia."

Oh yes, that's right: "Amercia."

And though the app gets the word right in three of its other stencils, the Internet is not forgiving.

If you search "Amercia" on Facebook, you will find pages for "Amercian Eagle," "Captain Amercia," and "Amercian Idol."

Meanwhile on Tumblr, numerous users have begun uploading pictures poking fun at the mistake, including one picture showing "Amercian Pie" and "Bank of Amercia" and another using the stencil overlay on top of a Google search for "Attention to detail."

On top of that, a Tumblr page dedicated specifically to the stencil has...
