Find your phone

It's bound to happen and usually at the worst time. I'm talking about losing your phone. We've all done it and if you left your phone on silent, you're not going to be finding your smartphone anytime soon. Until now, Google got smart and created a new phone-finding features for Android users. Simply ype in: "Find my phone" in the Google search bar on any device, then a map will appear to show your phone's last known location — even if it's under your couch.

 
A dose of good news

A dose of good news for your Friday. Hundreds of people have sent a three-year-old boy Hot Wheels — while he's been sick in the hospital. Ethan Carnesecca has been in a Salt Lake City hospital for almost a month with pneumonia. During every medical procedure, Carnesecca holds a Hot Wheel in his hand for good luck. So, his dad wrote a blog about it. And the nation listened. Hot Wheel collectors from all over the world have sent Carnesecca his favorite thing to hold. His current tally is at 200 cars and growing. 

To send a smile to Ethan, Hot Wheels donations can be mailed to: Ethan Carnesecca, c/o Primary Children's Hospital, 100 Mario Capecchi Drive, Salt Lake City, UT 84132
