This is a pretty slick aerial photography system. It is not inexpensive, but much cheaper than hiring your own plane if you want to do a lot of aerial work. This could be a nice system for archaeology, urban studies or for ecosystem monitoring.

Interesting tool for doing research and writing of longer texts.

""Turn It Up!" is a feature-length celebration of the electric guitar. Hosted by Kevin Bacon, the film explores mankind’s passion for the electric guitar, & its effect on artists, everyday players, pop culture, history, and even politics. Turn it Up! is the STORY of the electric guitar, from the invention in the 1930s to its golden years, right through the phenomenon of the Guitar Hero video-game and digital guitars of the future. But, it’s also a series of guitar STORIES, where we’ll meet all kinds of people from rock stars, to congressmen, CEOs, and teenage virtuosos, to try to understand their emotional connection to their guitars."

Simple screenshot sharing for Mac

GrabBox is a utility that reacts to the screenshots you take. It automatically copies the screenshots to your Dropbox Public folder, and then copies the URL to the clipboard – ready to share with friends or strangers!

Just start GrabBox and then take a screenshot like usual (Shift-Command-3 or Shift-Command-4 and select). GrabBox takes care of the rest!

How is GrabBox different from similar tools?

GrabBox offers:

• Free hosting (via Dropbox) with no ads.
• Automatic short URLs, for convenient tweeting (optional).
• Full control over which screenshots get uploaded.
• Ability to specify a screenshot file-name or to let GrabBox generate one automatically.
• Choose between a Dock icon or a discreet menubar item.

All GrabBox requires is Dropbox (free!) installed on your computer. So, what are you waiting for?

* E-mail is optional – if you choose to enter it, you will be subscribed to our very low-volume newsletter – it will never be used for sinister purposes.

Optionally give screenshots a different name

Full control over uploads

Preview your screenshot and rename it

Initial Setup

Choose between the dock and the menubar

Preferences

Full disclosure: The links to Dropbox above are referral links. If you use them to create an account, you and the developer of GrabBox get an extra 250 MB of storage space each.
Compatibility: GrabBox is compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) and 10.6 (Snow Leopard).

The days of having a separate login and password for each online service we use are behind us. Now, you can log into most sites and services using your social network’s ID.

The most popular social identities are Facebook (), Google (), Yahoo, and Twitter (), but are they always being used in the same way? The infographic below, courtesy of social optimization platform Gigya, shows that users trust different identities on different services. For example, users are most likely to log on to entertainment sites via Facebook, but when it comes to news sites, the login of choice is Twitter. Furthermore, the infographic shows what profile data is available to services after users log in using various online identities.

You are lost, deep in the darkness of the land of the dead. Your eyes are useless to you here — but your ears are filled with sound. And what is it you can hear … ?

All you know is someone is in grave danger and desperately needs your help. Can you save them and make your escape or will you be trapped in the blackness forever?

You’re in Papa Sangre’s palace. His palace is in an afterlife that takes the form of a malevolent, unpredictable carnival: imagine a Mexican graveyard on the Day of the Dead — with the lights off. You’re the piñata for a host of partying monsters. They probably look a lot worse than they sound. You should count yourself lucky it’s too dark to see them.

Get out. Save the one you love. Do the right thing.

Papa Sangre is a video game with no video. It’s a first-person thriller, done entirely in audio by an award-winning team of game designers, musicians, sound designers and developers. We’ve created an entire world using the first ever real-time 3D audio engine implemented on a handheld device. Which was BLOODY HARD.

"Starting today, however, Google will begin to offer auto-captioning for all English-language videos on YouTube. Until now, only videos from a select number of YouTube's partners were captioned using the Google's automated speech-recognition software.

youtube captionsAs Google notes, there will be over 700 million people who suffer from hearing impairment by 2015. As more and more content on the Web moves towards video, it's commendable to see that Google is working to make more of this content accessible to its users.
