Photography enthusiast blog Photojojo details how to mount your point-and-shoot camera on your bicycle for fun and creative shooting. The supplies are cheap (under $10), and putting it all together is a breeze. When you're done, you could use it to snap photos at intervals for a time-lapse or shoot some video like Photojojo did above. If your camera doesn't support time-lapse (or you just want to really soup it up), check out how to ...

Guest Post By Colin Walker (Blog/FriendFeed)On Wednesday, Matthew Ingram posted a reaction to Mike Arrington's interview with Twitter founder Evan Williams with regards to the way Twitter is just handing their data to potential competitors for nothing.It has seemed obvious to me for a while that an ideal aspect of a business plan for a social networking service such as Twitter would be to charge partners for premium access to the API, but once you ...

Twitter is living up to its promise to open up its data stream as much as possible to developers. While I was negotiating with Twitter cofounder Evan Williams to sit down and do a video interview at Foo Camp last weekend, Gnip founder Erick Marcoullier was hitting him up to give Gnip, and therefore everyone, Twitter’s XMPP “firehose.” Williams was obviously in a good mood, because I got my interview and, as I just found ...

With the highly successful launch seen by Pandora’s iPhone app, streaming digital radio seems ready to finally go mainstream. Unfortunately, as great as Pandora is, its music recommendations can shy towards music you already know - you may like the song that gets recommended, but there’s a good chance you’ve heard it before. For listeners looking for something that’s entirely new, there’s StumbleAudio, a streaming music service exclusively for indie music that is launching today ...

BREAKING NOW: Google is buying Russian contextual advertising company ZAO Begun for $140 million from UK-registered Rambler Media (many Russian firms now base themselves in the UK). Rambler owns 50.1 percent of Begun, so to secure the deal it is buying the remaining 49.9 percent stake from owner Bannatyne Limited and then selling the entire firm to Google. Rambler says it expects to net about $50 million from the deal which will finance its investments ...

Twinkle (iTunes link) already existed as a native application on jail broken iPhones before, but Apple only added it to the official iTunes store tonight. While there are some oddities in the way Twinkle works, the location awareness makes it a worthwhile addition to the ever growing ...

Some Twitter users have encountered a new design while using the microblogging service today…only to see it disappear once they refresh. Below is a screenshot that Zain Memon managed to grab before it went away. Tabs like Recent, Replies, and Everyone have been moved to the right-hand column. Overall, nothing too major. Corvida from SheGeeks points out some of the most obvious changes: Tabs are now to the right of the screen You can see ...

“Strong international growth as well as sustained traffic increases on Google’s web properties propelled us to another strong quarter, despite a more challenging economic environment,” said Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google referring to the company’s second quarter results. Wall Street does not agree. Google’s stock price is plummeting as I write this while listening in to Google’s second quarter earnings call. Immediately after the results were released, Google’s stock went from just over $530-a-share all ...

..or did they? There I was looking at my blog, and I noticed a big fat weird widget above my Lijit search box. It had a little Google ad at the bottom, and was otherwise odd looking. Was this a random fluke error? I dunno. I asked Micah Baldwin about it and he said that it’s always been there. I don’t think so. It’s not there now, either. You don’t see something like that on ...

Most embedded audio players offer a tiny player with the basics: play/pause and a progress bar. While this design works great for the casual listener, Soundcloud has another audience in mind. Musicians, producers and sound engineers want to do more than listen to a track. They want to provide feedback on specific details. The bass at 2:36 needs more compression. There’s a mic out of phase at 4:01. Can we try another patch for this ...

Is someone you work with taking Provigil to give them an extra competitive edge? I’ve spoken with one executive who says he uses it regularly to work twenty hour days, and the buzz lately is that it’s the “entrepreneur’s drug of choice” around Silicon Valley. Over the last week two separate entrepreneurs have mentioned it casually in conversation, and one said he tried it once and loved it. Provigil (aka Modafinil) is marketed by Cephalon ...

This is sick. Why does the name of the drug mean so much? This is the same as marijuana or any other illegal drug - users use it because they like it. Just because it's a prescription drug society views its abuse light-heartedly.

Each vein symbolizes a small group of people and all of these groups can be eventually be tracked back to one main source, similar to a human heart. The more veins you tap into, the quicker you will get to the heart, which in the business world symbolizes power and money. For example, 2 years ago I noticed that TechCrunch was ...
