04 Wikileaks can run, but cannot hide
After spending some time Wednesday on my editorial about
Wikileaks, this morning it would seem there are a lot of
others saying and advocating the very same thing.
So, I've had to re-write my editorial.

06 Shoot yourself!
File sharing vanity has now found yet another level - a gizzmo
that lets you take a picture of yourself. A great idea for the
'me' generation! The Pocket XShot is the latest in a line of
camera extenders that lets the photographer be in all
the pictures with their friends!

07 Lost or stolen laptop recovery
ActiveTrak Inc. has announced that its award-winning GadgetTrak
Laptop 3 is now being bundled with warranty plans, including
AppleCare at select Apple retailers. This arrangement
increases the level of protection by not only covering
physical problems with the laptop, but also helping
recover it if it's lost or stolen.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
08 iPhone becomes WebCam phone
PhoneCam 2.0 for iPhone and iPod touch turns your iPhone or
iPod touch (camera required) into a wireless webcam. It allows
you to easily capture and transmit images to a website from
anywhere. PhoneCam 2.0 now integrates Sensr, providing a
free webcam image server with lots of great features.
Sensr includes support for motion detection, DVR, alerts,
and uploading and sharing images on Facebook and Twitter.

09 Make cool 3D Product Shots
Applications for Life Company has rolled out Box Shot 3D 3.1,
an update to their powerful utility that renders 3D shapes using
provided images. Box Shot 3D allows to render software boxes,
book covers, magazines, CD, DVD and Blu-Ray boxes, cans,
bottles, mugs, bags and much more. No 3D-knowledge is
required at all and the results look very professional
because of raytracing rendering technology.

software for Mac OS X. Version 1.8 features 2-up preview mode,
reads bleed and trim data from source files, allows to rotate
sheets and define their default parameters. It also brings
many small improvements.

huge update, amping up an already powerful photo effects application.
iPhone and iPod touch users will shortly get access to 171 high
quality effects and filters. This will be the biggest collection,
available on App Store. The current 'record holder' is
FX Photo Studio 2.6.0 with 140 photo effects offered.

15 Quotes: Ben Laurie
"The concept is not going to die.
It's really hard to keep things shut down
if they want to stay up.
Look at everything else people would like online
- phishing, spam, porn.
It's all still there."
- Ben Laurie,
a data security expert who advised WikiLeaks before
it launched in 2006, on the future of the website dedicated
to releasing classified information.
