DestroyTwitter is a compact though robust Twitter application built to run on Mac, Windows, and Linux using Adobe AIR. It consists of a series of canvases that constantly update to keep tweets up-to-date using notifications that appear when a new tweet arrives. DestroyTwitter uses a minimal amount of memory compared to its AIR-based alternatives without sacrificing functionality and performance. As a result, it can easily run in the background as an automated process.

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.

Through a novel technique that I have developed, I again find myself working with the familiar form of the crayon.http://www.christianfaur.com/crayons/crayons.html
Because of the three-dimensional nature of the crayons, the individual surface images appear to change form as one moves about the gallery space. The images completely disappear when viewed from close up, allowing one to read the horizontally sequenced crayon text and to take in the beautifully colored crayon tips -- all the while being reminded of that first box of crayons.

Man Vs Machine: Boy Killed Anally When Office Chair Explodes
Well, stories don't get much worse than this. A 14-year-old boy in China was killed when his chair exploded, sending chunks of metal into his rectum. The bleeding this caused killed him.The alleged explosion came from the gas cylinder that was in the base of the chair, the part that allowed the user to adjust the seat up and down. The canister gets compressed when you sit on it, but can it actually create enough energy to make the seat cushion explode like that and kill a man? I doubt it, but this is what people are reporting.
Google StreetView kills Bambi | StreetViewFun
A deer got killed by the Google StreetView car.
Google have removed the images but you can see the images right here below.Google have since explained the incident:
The driver was understandably upset, and promptly stopped to alert the local police and the Street View team at Google. The deer was able to move and had left the area by the time the police arrived. The police explained to our driver that, sadly, this was not an uncommon occurrence in the region — the New York State Department of Transportation estimates that 60,000-70,000 deer collisions happen per year in New York alone — and no police report needed to be filed.

Seven Google Easter Eggs
You may know, or not know, that the people at Google.com aren't the typical boring techies you'd imagine. They have a lot of odd and amusing little Easter eggs built into the website. Here are a few of my favourites:
The Price is Right!Twitter Gets Around « Gen Y PR Prescriptions
From what I understand, the coolest group of people ever to grace the Price is Right audience came to the show sporting t-shirts with their twitter handles.One lady from the group was lucky enough to hear the three little words that we all seek out at some point in our lives: COME ON DOWN!When she won a game and made it to the stage, Drew Carey actually gave a good definition of twitter.
Here it is:

“He’s no guac to me dead”
The only piece I bought ahead of time was the face, because I knew it was the most important part of the whole thing. I was lucky enough to find master special effects makeup artist Bill Forsche through the internet, who just happened to have an amazing sculpt of Han’s carbonite-frozen face.

Universal Horror Sounds: MAGNAVISION 1981 LASERDISC DEMO - Hosted by Leonard Nimoy:
"Here's another very rare one...hosted by none other than Leonard Nimoy!"
The site has a video of Leonard talking to what seems to be a glowing microwave popcorn bag, about laser discs. It's like something that Adult Swim would make today.

Bacon, Man - FoodProof
Constructed by a woman called NetDiva, this is an effigy for all time. A being with no knowledge of what it means to be sightless, having never had eyes. It knows no pain, but also no hope. It senses it's made from the flesh of other creatures but it revels in that, feeling the wind between its ribs and believing only in itself. An idol to desecration, whose ultimate destruction will brighten the world.

Inhabitat » Madrid Breaks Ground on a Cylindrical Green Superstructure
Recently Mansilla + Tunon Architects broke ground on a stunning new project that will introduce an iconic green superstructure to Madrid’s skyline. The International Convention Center (CICCM) features a unique cylindrical building facade lined with solar panels and concave curves that suffuse its interiors with daylight. The plan will also introduce 80,000 square meters of green space to the city and will house an extensive rainwater catchment system.
New Screenshot of Jolicloud Netbook Operating System
Netvibes founder Tariq Krim sent me a new screenshot of Jolicloud, the Linux-based Netbook-optimized operating system he’s building (we first covered Jolicloud last December).
The screen shot, which is significantly evolved from what we saw in Paris, shows a set of featured applications that mixes desktop and cloud software - Facebook, Skype, Meebo and Youtube, among others, are shown with large icons that make it easier on Netbook users, who have to make do with smallish screens.
