Ever wonder where someone’s photo was taken, or with what camera? On this site you can see those details with a Firefox add-on; Exif Viewer 1.45. You can see the camera make and model as well as the resolution with this cool tool – but the coolest feature by far is the ability to click a link and see where on Google Maps, Google Earth, Mapquest and others where the picture was taken. See the cool screenshot.
“If you can stand it and develop a taste for it Peanut Butter & Jelly sandwiches for lunch are a good idea to help save a few dollars. You could go out to the fancy place, pick up something from the sheik deli, or eat out of vending machines – but all that costs money.
Pack three peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (or two large!) and you are in for a treat. You can eat them throughout the day if you’d like – each treat is will hold you over for sometime. How does it work? Sugar and protein. A lot of people like one or the other when they snack, but you really need both for that afternoon boost.
When you eat a PB & J you get protein (n’ stuff) from the nuts to make your body feel full and sugar from jelly to get your brain kickstarted. Peanut butter and jelly are cheap too – usually under a dollar, with bread not to far behind. Pack a few tomorrow and see how it feels to save.”
I like this new system of achievement points in World of Warcraft, you finally get noted for things like carrying the Warsong Gulch flag three times without dying. ([Ironman], screenshot below).
And yes that was the three to zero game. I carried it straight from the start to the end without a drop, although I was being beat upon. Good times.

The iTunes Music Store (or iTMS) is already the gold standard of music sales. Why shouldn’t they try to become the worlds clearinghouse of music? They have the user and active buyer base to just swallow the competition in utter control of the market. (And why aren’t they buying the rights to music yet? Or are they?)
They should partner up with Myspace to sell their music downloads. iTunes or Myspace would never let this happen, but they (Apple) could push it in a real slick way. They could just ask Myspace to forward their downloads through iTMS. By forward, I mean that Apple would be a clearinghouse of sorts for Myspace music downloads. They would hold a digital copy of the catalog and only allow downloads through some sort of encrypted API that allows users to purchase the music on Myspace’s mobile application, and have it downloaded and integrated into iTunes.
The question is who stands to lose money? iTMS could suffer because they have made it easier for a competitor to enter the market (on their device no doubt!). Myspace could be suckered into paying too much. I propose just one cent of the purchase should go to Apple. They would be able to make a profit on a few million songs I’d think. The electronic music download market is primed (current economic times excluded, of course) and it could produce more opportunities like this. It could allow any competitor to plug into Apple’s user-base. Apple must do something to compete too. Google Android is just around the corner – it could do this for free (as in speech).
The songs would integrate into the iPod/iPhone and iTunes and create a harmonious experience for the end users and Apple can tax every download that goes through their device. Why not try it? Then get the competitors to do it too and then you have money coming in from every angle. And most companies, I would think, would love to tap into the iPhone user’s wallets.
A burger with holes cooks faster than without, and that was discovered and, as a business method to sell hamburgers, was invented in Cincinnati, Ohio.
