Last month I covered an awesome photo sharing service called DropMocks. Unlike most photo management sites this one wasn’t looking to be the most powerful service on the web, and instead just wanted to offer a simple way for users to quickly share photos with one another. There’s a new kid on the block that copies a lot of what DropMocks offers, but also throws in a few goodies.
Min.us is the site that I’m talking about. The resemblance to DropMocks is striking, but there are quite a few things Min.us can do that DropMocks can’t. Here’s a list that I’ve managed to come up with:
- Displays a direct link for each image underneath the preview. The link is to the full-resolution image, and you can use this to hotlink to a particular image.
- In the navigation window in the upper-right corner you’ll see a “Download all” link that bundles all of the full resolution images up into a single ZIP.
- You can manage your galleries by creating an account, or through their cookie-based session. The cookie method will let you manage the galleries you’ve created until you clear out the cookies in your browser.
- When viewing a list of your galleries you can see how many people have clicked on the link to view your images.
- Drag-and-drop rearranging of images you’ve uploaded.
- Add new images to an existing gallery by dragging them into the window when you’ve got the gallery open.
- Supports more browsers (Firefox 3.6+, Google Chrome, Safari for Mac, and Internet Explorer 9).
And then there are the limitations:
- Image size is limited to 7MB each
- There can be a maximum of 50 images in a gallery
- Image types allowed: JPEG, GIF, PNG, APNG, and BMP
I have to admit that Min.us has some nice features, such as the bulk downloading, that really tips the scale for me. There’s no doubt that I’ll be using this over DropMocks for my quick photo sharing needs. Oh, and they also appear to be rolling out updates rather frequently, which I always like to see.

Toshiba shows off 2011 HDTVs with the most local dimming LEDs, facial recognition, 3D and more
Posted in: 3d tv, europe, hdtv, LCD, LED, Today's Chili, Toshiba
Toshiba’s focus at CES was glasses free 3D displays, but it highlighted more conventional HDTVs today at an event in Rome. Its new TVs and laptops all tie in to Toshiba Places, which sorts out access to different types of apps for video, social networking, music and other areas and is ready to launch this month. Separating Toshiba from the competition is a slew of new technology and the top of the line 55ZL1 model checks all the boxes: Seven core CEVO CPU for image processing, a Pro-LED512 panel that is the world’s first with 512 zones of dimming among 3,072 LEDs, Personal-TV facial recognition that picks up on which user is watching then personalizes to their preferred settings and active shutter 3D glasses.
The edge lit LED VL863 series will come in 47- and 42-inch versions featuring LG’s FPR passive glasses 3D and four pairs of glasses, while the 32- through 46-inch UL863 drops 3D for built-in WiFi and Personal-TV. The SL863 series is the final step down, nixing built-in WiFi. Prices weren’t listed but the new models should be shipping soon, until then you can find more details in the press releases linked below — no word on the US-bound models yet.

Keyport ships Mini-LED, offers Slide in four splendiferous new hues
Posted in: LED, Today's Chili, video
It ain’t a mind-bending concept, but the Keyport Slide solves a problem that far too many humans have. Put simply, this multi-key tool allows users to store both key imprints and digital files in a single device, and for those on the hunt for something to match their Sunday best… well, look no further. The outfit has just introduced a foursome of new Slide colors: Gunmetal, Zircon Gold, Copper, and Champagne. Starter bundles are still listed at $79, and if you believe the outfit’s CEO, there’s “much more on the horizon.” You know, like the initial shipments of its $10 Mini-LED, which was also revealed today. Tap that source link if you’re gushing with joy (and we know you are).

Kinect hack turns tourists into 3D souvenirs (video)
Posted in: hack, kinect, Microsoft, Today's Chili, video
As souvenirs go, a miniature replica of yourself — striking a pose of your choosing on Barcelona’s La Rambla street — is a far sight more original than a bullfights-and-senoritas snow globe. This past January, the hilariously titled BlablabLAB enlisted three Kinects and a RepRap machine to snap passersby and render them into personalized tchotchkes, in a project called Be Your Own Souvenir. Subjects stood atop a small platform, mimicking the human statues on La Rambla, as the Kinects captured their likeness in full 360-degree glory. The resulting images were then processed as a mesh reconstruction, saved as a G-code file, and then fed through a 3D printer — and voila, out popped the tiny statuettes. If you’re a fan of flashy editing and Kinect-based street experiments, check out the video after the break.
