We know it’s National Cat Day, which means adorable kittens have overwhelmed the Internet, but this picture of a baby Olinguito just couldn’t wait.
(Besides, the Olinguito species was only discovered in August of this year — it could be awhile before the little cuties have their own day.)

Adobe recently announced their plans to release an online version of Photoshop, their popular image editing application. It will be a “light version” made using Flex, and is expected in the next six months.
Because it is a “light” version, I’m assuming that it will be no different that some of the online photo editors already available. People like Photoshop because of the range of editing options that it offers. A lighter version certainly wouldn’t be able to handle all of the complex things that people turn to Photoshop to do.
Instead of aiming this product towards the people who already use the application, it’s aimed towards the home/casual user who wants to touch up a picture before uploading it to a social network, or sending it off via email to friends and family.
The online version will be free, and Adobe plans on supporting it with ads to make money. This sends up a red flag to photo-editing startups. With everything going online nowadays, this is definitely a smart move for Adobe. While the daily, professional users will stick to the stand alone option, it will be opened to new users.
Adobe CEO Bruce Chizen says that while it’s a lighter, lower-end product, they still expect it to be of better quality than other free alternatives (Picasa?). They’re hoping that the brand they’ve already established will help them out. Chizen says:
“If we offered a host-based version of Photoshop that’s Photoshop-branded (and is) potentially better than Picasa, you’d probably go the Photoshop route because of your belief in the Photoshop brand and the quality associated with the brand,”
There’s certainly issues to think about with any online photo editing service like dealing with the download/upload speeds for high resolution photos. Also, would you be able to keep your photos private? Access to the Internet is not always there, so there’d be no editing on the road.
With this announcement, I’m sure many companies and startups are feeling the pressure. Microsoft is probably one of them. Everybody around them is taking applications online, which makes me wonder if/when will Microsoft take some of their applications online?

Yes, we all know there are quite a few advantages to bringing your own lunch to work. Not only is it much more economical and time saving, it’s likely to be a much healthier option than you’ll get at your local fast food joint. I don’t usually mind brown bagging a lunch, but sometimes I enjoy a nice hot meal and unfortunately the communal microwave oven isn’t always the most appealing (or sanitary) option.

Google Glass too expensive or unobtrusive for you? How about strapping an iPhone to your head?
That’s not quite the idea behind Neurocam, a prototype wearable technology from Japan. But it does involve placing an iPhone next to your scalp.
Many people walk around with smartphones glued to an ear anyway, so radiation be damned. This rig comes with a brain wave scanner and will record what interests you.
Attached to a headband, the iPhone is fitted with a prism so its camera grabs footage from your point of view. Meanwhile, the EEG scans of brain activity correlate spikes in interest with the camera footage.
The tech is similar to that seen in … [Read more]

Now the bad news: It’s just not very good.
