There's nothing like cruising down the highway, wind whipping through your hair in a sporty two-seater to stir up romantic feelings.

Whether you're playing the parts of Cary Grant and Grace Kelly in "To Catch a Thief," enjoying a first date in an Alfa Romeo like Dustin Hoffman and Katherine Ross did in "The Graduate" or flying through the desert in your "Schaguar" like Mike Meyers and Elizabeth Hurley in "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery," there's no arguing with the romantic feelings that a fast car brings.

Even better than spending Valentine's Day in a sports car, right now is one of the best times to buy a one.

A new survey of by PayPal confirms that people are spending less on each other this year than they did before the economy took a crash but that doesn't mean they have stopped giving gifts altogether.

The majority of men who took part in the survey reported that they wished they could give more to their special someone this year which may be due to the fact that nearly half of consumers will spend less than $50 this year. Thankfully, only 28% of women reported that they would like to receive more on Valentine's Day, so for the most part couples should be able to enjoy each other's company on Feb. 14.

PayPal's Can't Buy Me Love survey also showed that George Clooney and Megan Fox topped the list of celebrities you would want Cupid to hit with an arrow. It's not all love though, Kanye West better work on a Valentine's Day auto-tuned hit otherwise he might be spending the day alone as he was voted the celebrity that people would least like to see on Valentine's Day.

Another interesting bit of information from the survey revealed the differences in valentine spending between single people and those in relationships which is shown on the graph below.

Whether you like them or not, gift cards remain an incredibly popular gift idea, which is why the new Target Mobile Gift Card program is incredibly cool. The new feature allows you to convert any Target gift card into a digital barcode that can be used from any Internet connected cell phone -- no extra fees involved.

Turning your plastic gift card into a digital barcode is a snap, just visit Target.com from a mobile browser, register for an account with your phone number and a PIN, then key in the information from your plastic gift card and you're done.

Now, instead of adding yet another gift card to your wallet, you'll have those cards in your cell phone. (just don't forget your phone.)

Having your gift cards in your phone is cool for more than one reason. For example, when you add a gift card, you can label it so that you know who you received it from. You can also pull up multiple gift cards at the store with no fumbling. But, perhaps the best part about the way Target chose to use mobile gift cards is that there's no app to download, no iPhone required, all you need is an Internet connection.

Given the estimated $30 billion "unredeemed gift card economy" having your gift card with you instead of taking up space in your sock drawer is a huge convenience.

There are a few things in life that are clear cut. You like Pepsi or you like Coke, you like Ford or you like Chevy and you file your taxes early or you line up at the post office at 11:58 on April 15th. For most people, choosing when to file your taxes boils down to one thing; will you owe Uncle Sam or will you be paying off the HDTV you bought for the Super Bowl with your refund. The good news is that, statistically, if you do file early you are more likely to receive a refund -- and a generous one at that.

Great news for anyone who makes under $58,000. You'll be able to file your taxes for free, including free tax prep, thanks to a $4 million grant from the Walmart Foundation to United Way Worldwide, One Economy and the National Disability Institute. This is the second year for the free tax prep program, which allows Americans who meet the criteria to get free assistance at community locations and online at Myfreetaxes.com.

According to the Walmart Foundation, last year's program provided more than 650,000 people with tax prep, and helped them save over $950 Million in tax preparation fees, refunds and tax credits.

Early this week we reported that Miley Cyrus' 9-year-old sister was helping launch a lingerie line for kids. We were very disturbed at the thought of anything remotely resembling lingerie being marketed toward children, and we weren't the only ones, as moms weighed in with their displeasure on Facebook as well.

We are happy to report that there is no lingerie line for children. Whether there was a plan and it was canceled or if the idea itself was born out of the poor accessorizing choices of a 9-year-old in front of a camera we can't say, but we do know that Ooh! La, La! Couture is not designing, selling or marketing lingerie to children.

"The story is completely false ... it's a total lie ... we don't make lingerie," Annie Dugourd co-owner of Ooh! La, La! Couture told CNBC's Jane Wells in an interview published late Wednesday.

The company's website is now back online after downtime on Thursday and you can see samples of the current Ooh! La, La! Couture line, which is made up mostly of tutus and tank tops in bright colors. Noticeably absent are the fishnet stockings which could be seen in the still offline video clip, promoting a new line to launch in mid February, CNBC that started the media-storm.

According to Dugourd, neither Noah Cyrus nor Emily Grace are planning to launch a line of children's lingerie with another company. We are glad to see this issue put to rest so we can all get back to wearing our lucky superhero and Dora the Explorer underwear, where it belongs, under our clothing.

In a word -- Yes. Thanks to a combination of factors, Scitable, both the science website and the platform itself, has the potential to change the way students learn and, more importantly to students; how much they have to pay for access to up-to-date, credible, high-quality information.

Update: According to the Gossip Cop, an anonymous source told the Web site that Noah Cyrus "is NOT starting this line, that she is NOT involved in its launch, and that it's NOT lingerie in the first place." Also of note; all of the collections have been taken off of the Ooh! La, La! Couture Web site.

If there were ever a time when our nation should utter a collective "huh," ( or more likely a "WTF!?") the time is now. Miley Cyrus's 9-year old sister Noah, who is already known for wearing a dominatrix outfit for Halloween and pole dancing with her friends, is helping her cousin Emily Grace Launch a line of lingerie for children. Yes, lingerie, as in underwear that is designed to, "be visually appealing or sensuous," ... for children and teenagers.

How this idea made it through the pitch stage without someone -- maybe Billy Ray Cyrus, or Emily Grace's father standing up and saying, "over my dead body!!" -- is beyond me. How any clothing line executive couldn't see the blinking, day-glo words: BAD IDEA/PUBLIC OUTRAGE over the concept defies common sense. The absurdity of a lingerie line for children, even teens, is so obviously wrong that even the 14-year-old son of one of our writers asked, "Didn't her parents tell her it was a bad idea?"

The new line of lingerie for kids is from Ooh! La, La! Couture, a clothing company which describes its clothing as, "unique combinations of comfortable knits, exclusive prints, Swarovski crystals, and fanciful trims, were immediately appreciated by little divas and moms alike." Its Website does not show any of the lingerie, which was discussed in a video between Miley Cyrus, Noah Cyrus and Emily Grace in which Emily is seen wearing fishnets (a clothing item that no child should have any familiarity with."

The video has since been removed. Gee, guys. Why's that? Pedophiles worldwide would no doubt love a look at this line.

Just over a week ago, Apple wowed the world with its "magical and revolutionary" iPad tablet, which aims to change the way you interact with media. Well, two days before the iPad was revealed, Google posted some very interesting images and video of what a Google Chrome Tablet, which could compete with the iPad, might look like. It's still early in the game -- this isn't a real product -- but the initial mockups look like a Google Tablet could give Apple and other large companies a run for their money.

According to a survey on Valentine's Day gift giving, overall Valentine's Day spending is up 50 cents, but the average gift people are giving to their significant other is down almost $4 from 2009. Even though this brings Valentine's Day gift spending down to the levels we saw in 2004, ladies will still make out better than their male counterparts, as men on average will spend double what their wives or girlfriends will.
