Here’s something I hadn’t seen ’til now - an image editor which lives inside the internet browser, though I do love any advancement in cloud computing. It’s pretty similar to an older version of Photoshop, and is something handy to play with if you’re just like me and don’t have access to the delicious new version of Microsoft Paint which will be in WIndows 7.

Here’s an interesting video to make you think.

I have to confess how I feel about USB gadgets; a lot of them are complete rubbish. But from the rubbish comes something which is actually useful. Similar to the Nintendo Wii, the USB Webmail Notifier will light up when you have email, but what seals the deal is it can check webmail accounts like GMail or Yahoo! mail.

Check it out via USB Geek.

In this cool game the goal is to build a “contraption”, basically adding wheels and sticks to a shape to make it get from one point to the other. At first I was thinking it couldn’t be all that interesting, but I was wrong - it’s addictive.

This is pretty awesome - to celebrate their 10th anniversary, Google has released a tool to let us do searches from 2001..

We dusted it off and took it for a spin, gobsmacked to see how different the web was in early 2001. “iPod” did not refer to a music player, “youtube” was nonsense, and if you were looking for “Michael Phelps,” chances are you meant the scientist, not the swimmer. “Wikipedia” was brand new.

Of coarse the search term “DARKCOLD” doesn’t take us here (in fact there’s only eight results, all irrelevant). Click here and give it a try for yourself.

For extra fun you could change the homepage of someone who uses Google to this and laugh as they wonder why they can’t find what they’re looking for.
