How does Netflix Codes work?
It's inevitable. At least once a week, your Facebook feed has someone "What do you think I should start watching on Netflix?!"

Dolphin Paradise App Review | #iPad #Android #app
Recently I had the chance to check out and review the Dolphin Paradise App. I wasn't expecting such a fun game at first glance, but after playing around with it, the app pleasantly surprised me. When you download the Dolphin Paradise App and open it up, you're greeted by a peaceful cove and a dolphin swimming around. The instructions walk you through how to greet your dolphin for the first time as well as how to feed and pet it. Don't think that you'll only get one dolphin though! Players have the chance to take care of a whole cove of dolphins.…
