Libre.fm - Building An Open Last.fm | Adventures In Open Source
chances are you’ve already tried the music-based social networking service Last.fm at some time. Like a lot of web services it doesn’t give much away about how it works internally. This is fair enough and it’s their right to do that as a company of course but it goes against the principals of Free Culture and Free Software. Now there are plans afoot to create a completely free (as in freedom) alternative called Libre.fm.

Google Docs Gets a Drawing Program:
"You can try this feature by opening a new Google Docs document and clicking Insert -> Drawing. This will pop up an on-page window with a drawing canvas to which you can add things like lines, text, arrows, or shapes from a small object selection. The editor works very well, and you can flexibly adjust adjust colors, position, and size. Saving is done by hitting the X in the top right (that might be a bit odd, the first time), and then the drawing is integrated in your document (and can be edited once again later on if you want)."
ShamWow Pitchman Shlomi Arrested for Battery Feature Story:
"According to the arrest affidavit, on Feb.7, Shlomi, after picking up Sasha Harris, 26, punched her physically multiple times because she “bit his tongue and would not let go.”
Shlomi told police he paid Harris $1,000 when she “propositioned him for straight sex.”
In response to the biting, Shlomi struck the prostitute several times until she let go. Both Shlomi and the alleged prostitute were arrested for felony aggravated battery."
A tipster — a very reliable one — tells me that Skype is almost ready to launch that iPhone version, perhaps as soon as next week. CTIA Wireless, a large mobile industry trade event, kicks off in Las Vegas next Wednesday, so perhaps the announcement will be made there. I am working on getting more details, as well as screenshots of the service.Skype for iPhone to Be Released as Early as Next Week

Photojojo » How to Develop Film Using Coffee and Vitamin C! Srsly!
using coffee to develop film is not something Ansel Adams would do. But it works, it gives your film a distinctive look, and it has a certain MacGuyver-ish flair. Think of it like using a plastic camera- it’s more about having fun than getting technically flawless results.
With most film types, the results will be more contrasty and grainy than regular developer. If you do this with color film (negatives or transparencies), you’ll end up with black-and-white negatives.
