Ustream iPhone App Is Finally Here!

Over the last year, Ustream has sought to extend its reach into the mobile arena, and the company has introduced video-recording and viewing iPhone apps, but its latest offering allows true live broadcasting to multiple viewers. You can begin recording video on your phone, stream it to the Web, and allow any number of people to watch it as it happens. You can include your GPS location with the broadcast as well.

This is something that I think will make ustream way more useful. I've had an account for years but rarely a chance to use it since you had to be connected to a computer.

Store under attack for sexy nativity scene

Store under attack for sexy nativity | Say What?:

"A California clothing store is under attack for displaying a nativity scene with sexual undertones.

A group of workers across the street from Madison clothing store in Los Angeles plans to garner support from area churches to get the display that features Mary sprawled on the ground with a golden baby Jesus in her crotch taken down.

The three sexy wise men surrounding Mary are carrying gifts of items from the store."

Introducing Google Public DNS

Official Google Blog: Introducing Google Public DNS:

"When you type www.wikipedia.org into your browser's address bar, you expect nothing less than to be taken to Wikipedia. Chances are you're not giving much thought to the work being done in the background by the Domain Name System, or DNS.

Today, as part of our ongoing effort to make the web faster, we're launching our own public DNS resolver called Google Public DNS, and we invite you to try it out."

Soon the internet will just be called the Twitter Google-book

Inspired by Twitter, Blip.fm Tunes Into Customized Stations

Now, its edge on other Twitter/music mashups is about to grow, as Blip.fm is set to introduce a set of features based on familiar Twitter attributes — hashtags and trending topics — that can be used as filters to create customizable radio stations.

Although Blip.fm can still be used socially through Twitter and Facebook, features like these increase its usefulness as a destination rather than something that piggybacks on other sites. The updates will appear at beta.blip.fm in the next day or so, with eventual rollout to the rest of the site.

Neil Gaiman Crowdsourcing a Short Story Via Twitter

Coraline author Neil Gaiman wants to make a writer out of you.

His means for penning his upcoming project are as creative as the gems in his copious portfolio, only he can't claim all the credit for this one. Starting today at noon EDT, the writer began encouraging people to tweet in their 140-character contributions for his next short story, which BBC Audiobooks America will later garner into an audio book.

Gaiman (@neilhimself), who is already well established in the Twitter realm, will tweet the opening line and fans will be able to continue the story as they wish. BBC will log about 1,000 contributions into a script that will be edited and prepared to be read by a professional narrator.

Currently there is no talk of releasing the story in print form, but the audio edition will be available for free download at the BBC site, iTunes and other audiobook distributors before the end of the year.

Google Docs, Slowly Morphing into Google Drive

Google Docs, Slowly Morphing into Google Drive:

"The new interface of Google Docs, which is slowly rolled out to all users, brings the service one step closer to an online storage service. The 'items by type' menu replaced 'PDFs' with 'Files', suggesting that Google Docs will allow users to upload any type of files.

It will be interesting to see how Google Drive integrates with other Google services that store files (Gmail, Picasa Web Albums, YouTube) and to find the free quota limits.

Tony Ruscoe found in January an internal Google document about Cosmo, described as an upgrade from GDrive, a service that was only available to Google's employees. 'We're in the process of migrating all Google Doc accounts to Cosmo,' mentioned the document.

Update: Kevin Mohr found an interesting image referenced in Google Docs' code: . It's a folder icon that includes Google Chrome's logo, so it could be related to Google Chrome OS, a browser-centric operating system that will probably use Google Drive to store files online. There's also an icon for videos which suggests that videos will be uploaded to YouTube."

U.K. airport scanner sees you 'naked'

There is nowhere to hide for passengers at Manchester Airport's Terminal 2.

The airport has unveiled a new full-body scan that can see right through passengers' clothes to the body, showing everything from concealed weapons to piercings – even implants.

"Our passengers tell us that they don't like being patted down by security staff," says Sarah Barrett, the British airport's head of customer experience.

What if Twitter Had an App Store? Now It Does.

Like Summize before it was acquired and relaunched as Twitter Search, OneForty is Twitter’s missing piece. Similar to the App Store for Apple’s iPhone, OneForty is a marketplace for the Twitter community to discover and share tools and services that make Twitter valuable. It also offers a business platform for the over 20,000 Twitter developers to market their innovations. It brings order to the chapos with organized categories, tags and “essentials” to introduce new users to apps.

Celebrate Banned Books Week

Banned Books Week (BBW) is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read and the importance of the First Amendment. Held during the last week of September, Banned Books Week highlights the benefits of free and open access to information while drawing attention to the harms of censorship by spotlighting actual or attempted bannings of books across the United States.

Intellectual freedom—the freedom to access information and express ideas, even if the information and ideas might be considered unorthodox or unpopular—provides the foundation for Banned Books Week. BBW stresses the importance of ensuring the availability of unorthodox or unpopular viewpoints for all who wish to read and access them.
