Remember when we told you about Google’s new satellite, GeoEye-1, which should bring highest resolution commercial imagery available to Google Maps? Below, you can see the first image that the satellite captured. GeoEye-1 captures images at .41 meters in black and white and 1.65 meters in color; for real life reference, that means crisp enough to read license plates. Google, however, will receive imagery in 50-centimeter resolution because of a government restriction and the fact ...

Some Apple retailers in the United States have been given price lists for a new Apple laptop line, and there’s a big surprise: an $800 laptop. The information comes from a source we would categorize as reliable, would have access to such information, and who has been accurate in the past. According to the source, Apple retail stores have been given price sheets that list 12 price points for the new range, with prices between ...

If they can put out a solid device, this price point would pull in a lot of people. My sister was considering a mac laptop until I told her the price.

Throughout last year, Stan and Pete both reported the acquisition by Google of an in-game ad providercalled AdScape. AdScape’s assimilation was described by Pete at the time as a sign of Google’s changing mission statement from “organizing the world’s information” to “cramming as many ads into the world as possible.” Rumors have been floating ever since that the company would be put into action any minute now. Word filters down to us today that the ...

Tilt-shift lenses sit off-center of the film (or sensor) plane of your camera to produce photos with extremely limited depth of field, giving the effect of a macro shot of a tiny scene. When the effect is matched with the surreal speed boost of many stills strung together into a time-lapse movie (here by Keith Loutit), we get the other-worldly privilege of seeing real Australian beach goers as an elaborate Playmobil scape. Or Sydney Harbor ...

Filed under: Features, How-tos, Graphic Design We all know Photoshop is a powerful tool. In two tutorials, I'll take you through how to use Photoshop CS3's Lens Blur filter to do two things: today, we'll make images look like they were shot with a tilt-shift lens. Tomorrow, we'll create clipping masks for objects that aren't entirely in focus. Lens Blur gives the effect of a narrower depth of field, so some areas of your image ...

What better way to celebrate your new iPod shuffle than sticking it to Apple's marketing/branding department and sliding the sleek device into the original Apple logo? Available from an Etsy seller, the $12 classic case features a rear opening that allows the shuffle's clip to slip through so you can wear it like a broach or button. But if giant lizards are more your thing and you've got a new iPod nano, the seller has ...

Who knew sugar wafers and Rolos could so accurately recreate the situational Pavlovian response we get from looking at the latest silicon wonders from Intel, AMD, ATi and NVIDIA? While we've never before craved some motherboard and milk or hot motherboard à la mode, we must admit, we're coming around to what could be the hottest dessert trend of Q4 2008. And that old Dell gathering dust in the corner is looking mighty scrumptious. [Craftster ...

If you’re a Google Docs user, you may have noticed that Google Spreadsheets’ menu has been a little inconsistent with the rest of the Docs suite. Now, Google decided to reorganize the interface a bit and give it a real menu. The menu now gives you the pretty standard “File, Edit, Format, Insert, Tools, Form, Help,” options which is the basic menu we’ve all grown accustomed to in pretty much all Office suites. The items ...
