If you have a Flickr account set up, or maybe there’s an account owned by someone else that’s filled with pictures that you enjoy, you can put those photos to good use.A program called Flickr Desktop Wallpaper will select images randomly from a Flickr account of your choice and turn them into a pattern of tiled images.

Features:

• Select the opacity of the images (lighten, darken)
• Choose how often you want the wallpaper to change
• Go to the system tray when minimized

The image below (source) shows what Flickr Desktop Wallpaper looks like.

There are many great photographers who post their photos publicly on Flickr, so if you don’t have an account of your own, you could find one that you like and use their photos.

One Flickr account worth checking out has a lot of awesome photos which we’ve written about before. In fact, two of them are part of the default Vista Wallpapers.

Another great source is the Spectacular Landscapes Group over at Flickr where there are mounds of great photos from thousands of members who become part of the group by invite only. Nearly every photo I’ve seen in this group deserves to be there.

The developer appears to be pretty open to new features, so if there’s something you’d like to see, let him know.

Flight sim aficionados tend to be a fanatical bunch. It isn’t good enough if it isn’t as realistic as humanly possible, and as technology improves more and more things get more and more possible. It’s now been 10 years since Thrustmaster released its iconic HOTAS Cougar, a near-perfect replica of the F-16’s Hands On Throttle and Stick, and now the company is following up with an even more realistic version for a very different sort of aircraft: the ground-pounding A-10C Warthog. It’s as close as you can get to the real thing without getting commissioned, and we took it for a test-flight. Click on through for our impressions and some impressive footage of the thing in action.

It seems like the promise of connected, doctor-monitored mobile and at-home health services has been a little slow on the uptake, but here’s a promising step: a new phone from Singaporean firm Ephone that can run an ECG on you and send off the results for analysis. In this case, though, it seems like your doctor can’t provide you with this thing so he or she can keep an eye on your ticker — instead, you’ve got to sign up for a subscription with Ephone that runs between about $71 and $215 a month (depending on the monthly ECG upload cap), at which point the company’s own team of doctors can check out your results and make recommendations or dispatch emergency services if need be. The so-called EPI Life itself runs about $350 in some Asian markets, which can also be used to track glucose, cholesterol, and blood pressure (presumably with external sensors) and there’s a fancier model coming later in the year. Oh, and if you don’t live in Asia, hang tight — Ephone is looking to license the tech to other companies.

No, we’re not revealing some great hidden feature here — Nokias have been able to pair with Bluetooth devices since pretty much forever — but throw a complete set of desktop implements together with the Finnish company’s greatest new phone, and sparks of interest do fly. In this case, a pair of keen fellas have hooked a portable keyboard and a Logitech mouse up to the N8 and had some fun videotaping their exploits. If you’re thinking this would make a pretty killer combination with the N8 plugged into an HDTV, well… you’d be right. Catch the video after the break.
