Happy New Year
Happy New Year to Everyone, and here’s hoping for a wonderful 2010!
As everyone seems to be wishing 2009 a good riddance, I have to say 2009 was my best year yet.

iPhone in iPhone
How incredibly meta… (video 1:11)
The scoop… A promotional augmented reality app by Ogmento. Developed to promote the iPhone launch by Orange Telecom Israel. Point your iphone to an Orange logo and watch a virtual iPhone appears hovering over the logo. Use finger gestures to turn the iphone around, zoom in or out…

Software License
This is an interesting software license restriction on a software library called ExtJS…
ExtTLD is published under GPL 3.0 license however restricts use by companies participating in animal abuse, such as animal testing laboratories etc. For more information see our Terms of use.
The software has absolutely nothing to do with animal testing, but the project founder feels strongly about the subject and added the restrictions to exert whatever influence he can on animal abuse. Not a bad way to uphold your own morals.

Data Mining Food
Most popular search on a recipe site the day before Thanksgiving?
Darker colors indicate more searches… does that mean the sweet potato casserole is really popular in the south, or do we just not know how to make it?

Your Tax Money at Work
Here’s a nice picture of everyone in Congress playing solitaire…
From Casey’s Daily Dispatch:
Here we see House Minority Leader Lawrence F. Cafero Jr., R-Norwalk (standing on far right) speaking while colleagues Rep. Barbara Lambert, D-Milford, and Rep. Jack F. Hennessy, D-Bridgeport, play Solitaire as the House convenes to vote on a new budget.
Also, you’ll notice the guy sitting in front of these two to the right is on Facebook and the guy behind Hennessy is checking out the baseball scores.
