Scalado has a system that removes the people in the background of pictures:
“When capturing photos in a busy area, like a public square or a concert for example, it is often difficult to get a clean shot without unwanted objects entering the frame.
Now you can capture the shot anyway, and simply let the camera remove the people for you! Point your camera and take a photo. Afterwards you can remove anyone moving around, or select your friends and remove any strangers.”

This features a pull out system for your old 35 mm camera, turning it into a digital one. It has a USB connection for copying the pictures and recharging. Unfortunately, it looks like it’s not real, but an April Fools joke.
Everyone who sees it wishes it was a real product though, it’s making huge noise on tha intarwebs.

The Chabad organisation wants the Schneerson Library (in Russia) and has gotten a US court to order the Russians to hand it over. Russia says no, so the Chabad has threatened (in not quite so many words) to go to courts and impound Russian state museum loans to the US. So that means the Russians have stopped the loans and are really unhappy about the US.
Strange that stuff going into the US is so unsafe from US government stealing – such as your laptops and the data thereon…

So far this looks like a great app – faster and easier to navigate than Cydia, it’s a shame that Saurik / Jay Freeman is showing exactly the Apple Monopolist Spirit that the jailbreaking community IMHO is trying to get rid of by forcing this package off the official repositories and by even going so far as to contact theme designers and theme it distribution partners in order to keep a hold of his theming stranglehold 🙁
Vive la choice!

Well, this is Google’s take on TV. You buy either a Logitech box or a Sony TV and it’ll let you browse the web, watch youtube, use some apps and do some other stuff on it. You can control it using your iPhone or Android. Looks like it could be interesting.

Hit the “new” button and make the description whatever you want like “Moving Wallpaper”. Set a Rotating Picture of the Earth as Your Ubuntu WallpaperThis trick is fueled by the ever-useful wget command which will download a photo of the earth from die.net at a specified time interval. In the command box type in wget -r -N http static.die.net earth mercator 1600.jpg and set the default behavior to suppress output. Die.net uploads a new photo every 3 hours so I picked an interval of 6 hours to compromise my desire to have a semi-accurate view of the Earth at that time and my desire to not overflow Die.net s servers. You can specify a custom time period by clicking the edit button next to a time interval in the Advanced section. After you ve set it up hit the run button the one with the gears icon so it will download the first photo. Then right click on your desktop and hit Change Desktop Background. The photo will be stored in ~ static.die.net earth mercator on your hard drive so navigate there and choose 1600.jpg as your wallpaper. Now it should automatically update at the time interval you specified in the last step giving you a cool picture of the world s sunlight at that time of day.

Apparently the inability to live as a 9 foot tall, blue, cat humping alien is driving some people to suicide.
James Cameron’s completely immersive spectacle “Avatar” may have been a little too real for some fans who say they have experienced depression and suicidal thoughts after seeing the film because they long to enjoy the beauty of the alien world Pandora.
“Ever since I went to see ‘Avatar’ I have been depressed. Watching the wonderful world of Pandora and all the Na’vi made me want to be one of them. I can’t stop thinking about all the things that happened in the film and all of the tears and shivers I got from it,” Mike posted. “I even contemplate suicide thinking that if I do it I will be rebirthed in a world similar to Pandora and the everything is the same as in ‘Avatar.’ “
