Mind blowing video enhancement technology.
What's the betting that this stuff finds its way into the next version of Creative Suite:
Although most of the tests they are doing are quite controlled, it's impressive non the less.
Back To School With iPod Uniforms From Marks & Spencer
What better way to convince your little ones that going back to school after the long summer holidays isn't really all that horrifying, than by getting them the coolest hi-tech uniform that money can buy.
Marks & Spencer 'Back To School' collection now sports jackets designed specifically for use with the iPod.
The Jackets For iPod series comprise blazers and winter coats that use Fibretronic's five function keypad controller, discretely built into the lapel area of the inside lining.
If there needed to be a better reason to go back to school!

Microsoft Confirms No Blu-ray For Xbox
Q: Why, why, why!
A: Stupid, stupid, stupid!
Who said you need cameras to make a music video.
Radiohead's new music video uses no cameras and no lights. All the action is captured via lasers, which is then mapped to 3d points to create a truly spectacular effect. A great combination of cutting edge research and art.

iphone app store
We told you so. We predicted it, we knew it was coming, we told everyone but did they listen... Hell yeah!
Over 500 applications on launch day and more coming. This will be the platform for the next 5 years. We are seeing the same development and tech going into the iphone as we did with the ipod. Can Jobs do no wrong?
Yes he can.
What was he thinking about when Jobsy and Ives developed the Mac Book Air. Please give us a real 12" Mac Book Pro something that has grunt. But most importantly has shrunk in the important dimensions. The 15" MacBook Pro I use is only an inch thick I do not need a thinner laptop, I need one that is less wide and deep!

Amazing - Sunset on Mars
Sunset on Mars
On May 19, 2005, NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit captured this stunning view as the Sun sank below the rim of Gusev crater on Mars. This Panoramic Camera mosaic was taken around 6:07 in the evening of the rover's 489th Martian day, or sol.
Sunset and twilight images are occasionally acquired by the science team to determine how high into the atmosphere the Martian dust extends, and to look for dust or ice clouds. Other images have shown that the twilight glow remains visible, but increasingly fainter, for up to two hours before sunrise or after sunset. The long Martian twilight (compared to Earth's) is caused by sunlight scattered around to the night side of the planet by abundant high altitude dust. Similar long twilights or extra-colorful sunrises and sunsets sometimes occur on Earth when tiny dust grains that are erupted from powerful volcanoes scatter light high in the atmosphere.
Apple to introduce OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" at WWDC?
by Nilay Patel, posted Jun 4th 2008 at 7:00PM
The pre-WWDC Apple rumor mill has finally churned out something that doesn't have the words "3G" and "iPhone" involved -- sources have told both Ars Technica and our friends at TUAW that Steve will also use his keynote to introduce the next major version of OS X, codenamed "Snow Leopard." As the derivative release name indicates, there aren't many changes in store from 10.5 Leopard -- Apple's said to instead be focusing on tightening up speed and stability as it starts producing more mobile devices. What's more, this could be the end of PowerPC and Universal support in OS X, as Snow Leopard is said to be Intel-only. That's bound to ruffle a few feathers, but things could get even more heated if Carbon is deprecated as is also being rumored. We'll see when we see -- Monday can't get here fast enough.

Albatron demos 22-inch multi-touch screen for Windows 7
We didn't think it'd take too terribly long to make it happen, but Albatron is taking Microsoft's heed and is already demonstrating a prototype 22-inch monitor with multi-touch, intended for use with whatever Windows 7 will eventually come to be called. The early verdict on the 1680 x 1050 display? TG Daily says it "works much better than we expected," but we said the same thing about Surface when it debuted last year -- so maybe it simply works as well as it should.
Sofa ready, Eyes ready, end to social life ready, Apple TV ready - iTunes movies up and running
With films from the major studios - Paramount Pictures, Warner Bros and MGM. Apple TV comes of age.
700 films are currently available including I Am Legend and Hitman, and over 100 are available in high definition formats. Films can be downloaded to a PC or Mac and then transferred to Apple devices like an iPod or AppleTV. They’re also fairly reasonably priced at £10.99 for new releases and £6.99 for classics, or you can rent for between £2.49 and £3.49, with high definition versions costing just £1 more across the board.
If you rent a movie you’ll find you have 30 days to start watching, or 48 hours once you have, before DRM kicks in, though there’s no limit to how many times you watch it in that period.
Unfortunately we’re still paying quite a bit more than our friends in the US, whose rentals cost around half the price. Steve Jobs has blamed this on VAT and the price of doing business in good ol’ Blighty. – Paul Lester

Mini Crabs -at Betty Crocker Family Fun Finder
At Crab we have many little Crabs running around getting into all sorts of trouble. So we teamed up with Betty Crocker and built an ever-growing database of kid friendly activities. If you have ever looked after a bunch of kids what ever their age and been stuck in doors on a rainy day, run out of ideas or simply found out that your not as entertaining as you thought then help and salvation my friend is at hand.
Simply pop onto the Betty site and visit the family fun finder and within minutes you will have a bunch of ideas that will keep those pesky kids entertained, enthralled and ecstatic with great ideas ranging from a Magical Sliced Banana to Noodle Names and beyond.

Eton celebrates 80th anniversary with £23,000 shirt
Swedish shirt makers Eton have a long and proud history of dressing the world in the classiest shirts known to man. So it kinda seems only fair that they should celebrate their 80th anniversary by manufacturing what is being called “The World’s Most Expensive Shirt”. Created from the most luxuriant Egyptian cotton yarn, the celebratory shirt features colored diamond studs and white diamond-encrusted cufflinks which look rather dull and boring considering how the shirt comes with a price tag of a whopping £23,000. I would be interested to hear what people think in the current climate.

4'33" thought provoking, clever, powerful or just plain silly
I love the idea that someone has had the balls, the creative genius or simply just did not care what others thought to create a piece like this! Crab salutes you sir!

BBC Offers Job To PS3 iPlayer Hacker - Take note Apple and others!
We need to embrace these individuals and allow them to explore the potential of any system. This will spawn new creative routes, solutions and perhaps even new business ventures.
I am not sure if the BBC Blog was a joke or not but well done for being brave enough to post it!
