The lost iPhone saga

I didn't post about the supposedly lost fourth-generation iPhone prototype that was picked up and dissected by Gizmodo, but now things are getting interesting: first, the Apple vice president asked for return of the device in a letter to Gizmodo, and now police have raided Gizmodo journalist Jason Chen's home and confiscated all his computers. (Above picture is a clever shopping of the original Gizmodo article.) Will be interesting how this plays out!

Fake windows

Yes, why not: advanced motion-sensor technology makes these "fake" windows possible, in reality it's just two HD screens. Pretty cool when you can finally project the shark tank or alien cityscapes on your wall!

Content-aware fill

Well, wow. Seems like this new Photoshop CS5 feature isn't even an April Fools's joke: content-aware fill "guesses" at the right background to fill in when you delete areas in your picture. I'm still on Photoshop 7, but this might be a killer feature to update for.

Google beast

Google bashing is en vogue right now, what with all the class action suits about privacy on Google Buzz, Google Maps etc. Above video is no exception-- it doesn't raise a lot of new points (we all know what a multi-tentacled octopus Google has become) but it does paint an informative allover picture.
