Mount Flickr as a Drive with Flickrfs [Featured Linux Download]
http://lifehacker.com/ 381763/ mount-flickr-as-a-drive-with-flickrfs
Linux only: Flickrfs makes uploading to, downloading from, and organizing a Flickr account just like handling files in a mounted file system. After installing and setting up the link to your account, you can see all your photos separated into tag folders, edit and back up the pics and their metadata, and crop and resize photos on the fly, all reflected in realtime in your online account. The tool works mostly through your native file browser and the command line, but the programs author has created a visual desktop Flickr organizer that links into his app.

Shocking Space Debris Images
http://www.treehugger.com/ files/ 2008/ 04/ shocking-space-debris-images.php
The German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ, German only) today published an article on space junk. The shocking image is an eye opener. Humankind continues to repeat the mistake of strewing waste into common spaces (no pun intended) without a thought to the consequences, leaving costs we dont want to pay today for the future generations. The FAS article spurred our curiosity, leading us to find even more spectacular video and potential solutions to the problem (overleaf). ...

Sprint sure has been backing out of and sashaying into quite a few deals of late, and the schizophrenic trend is continuing as it opts out of SpectrumCo, one of two joint ventures with cable operators Comcast, Time Warner Cable (parent company of AOL, which owns Engadget), Cox Communications, and
Brighthouse (Advance/Newhouse). Reportedly, the firm is still remaining a part of the Sprint/Cable venture (now known as Pivot) as it focuses on "integrating wireline and wireless services offered by the cable partners with itself." Were led to believe that Sprint simply had different plans for investing its capital, but it apparently sees value in hanging in there with the whole Pivot endeavor. Interestingly, when TWCs CEO was questioned over SpectrumCos possible involvement in the forthcoming w...

Telstra to launch 3G Apple iPhone in Australia this June
http://www.product-reviews.net/ 2008/ 04/ 21/ telstra-to-launch-3g-apple-iphone-in-a...
It does seem funny that just last year Greg Winn who is one of the top guys at Telstra the Australian telecommunications company said that Apple could stick their iPhone. Well now it seems that the company has had a change of heart as the Australian release of the iPhone will be this June and looks as though it could be the 3G version of the handset. Although Telstra is the largest phone provider in OZ, it seems as if they will not be the only ones to get the Apple iPhone.

The fact that some individuals still have any level of faith left in Diebold is quite baffling, but in case you were looking for just one more episode to dash your hopes of a hack-proof voting machine, open wide. As fate would have it, a fresh study in Florida has found that even optical scan voting systems "can be hacked into," which is causing quite a bit of concern considering that touchscreen alternatives arent exactly an option in the Sunshine State. Reportedly, the document noted that "official memory cards in the optical scan machines could easily be exchanged with ones altering the vote count," and it was also stated that Diebold must "deal with the flaws" by August 17th. Yeah, were sure its all over that.

Devotional music dominates mobile VAS market
http://www.textually.org/ ringtonia/ archives/ 2008/ 04/ 019866.htm
Indians have a strong affinity for Bollywood and devotional music, which they like to listen to ???on-the-go. No wonder, there is a huge demand for such ringtones and caller tunes. The mobile VAS market, which includes about 25% of the total music business in the country, is dominated by these music categories. Mobile music downloads, comprising mainly Bollywood, spiritual and even regional genres, is growing rapidly. These are expected to make Indias mobile music market worth $800 million by 2009, up from $100 million in 2005. [via India Economic Times]

Eee PC 900 gets dissected, looks about the same as the Eee PC 700

Eee PC 900 gets dissected, looks about the same as the Eee PC 700 by Joshua Topolsky, posted Apr 20th 2008 at 12:06PM Oh, poor Eee PC 900. You havent even made it into most peoples hands, and already youre getting dissected and inappropriately inspected. Honestly, we didnt mean for that to rhyme. Regardless, the folks over at bit-tech have gone to all the hassle of cracking the little dude open, though what they find inside is apparently more of the same. No new modules, no fancy layout changes, no tiny army of artificially intelligent lifeforms. Still, its nice to look at.

Its no secret that OS X is based on BSD Unix, and it looks like Apple let a little more of those roots shine through with Leopard -- The Open Group has just awarded OS X 10.5 Leopard UNIX 03 certification, meaning that Apple joins Sun, HP, and IBM as the only certified vendors. The spec covers libraries, system calls, terminal interfaces, commands and utilities, internationalization and the C language, meaning that software vendors can easily port server and non-GUI apps to and from OS X with minimal effort. Although this was already mostly the case, its always nice to see the circle complete, isnt it?

Austrian city bans mobile phones on public transport
http://justamp.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 04/ austrian-city-bans-mobile-phones-on.html
Vienna - The Austrian city Graz on Wednesday issued a ban on mobile phone use on public transport. Grazs decision, which is highly controversial in Austria, makes the community the first worldwide to issue such a ban, Austrian media said. Annoyed over the constant buzz and passengers sharing their life secrets on buses and trams in the southern Austrian town, conservative Mayor Siegfried Nagel issued a regulation demanding mobile phones be switched to "silent." The regulation also banned loud music. There would however be no fines for offenders refusing to turn down their favourite ringtones when getting on a bus in the...
