Isn't there a website where you can submit pictures of photo-stealers? This should totally be submitted. || Edit: Found it. http://thisisphotobomb.com/

...it was only after Chipper received his prints from the local PhotoMat that he realized two humans had snuck into the background of his lakeview self-portrait.

Is it just me, or are all baby clothes in either FriendFeed or Twitter colors? I was noticing in my baby boy's clothes today that I had half of web 2.0 in his wardrobe.

yeah it is all nice and happy now - give it 12 months and the inner demon comes out... Nice time though, when they are small and cute :) Enjoy it.

I just bought the HTC Hero - I'm on Sprint. At first I didn't like it that much because it seems slow (i still don't know why but I think it had to do with me putting it on wifi and doing background data sync). Anyway, I'm using the mobile network now and it's all good. I also own the ipod touch and liked it - but now that i own both platforms I can definitely see the pros and cons on each of them.
- See-ming Lee 李思明 SML
e.g. there are some nice features on the touchscreen keyboard on the Android that's missing on the iphone / ipod touch (I have the latest equivalent to 3GS - 64GB edition) - but the minor interactions like application pop to view, etc, 'feels' better on the ipod touch. Also I don't like the way the icon / wallpaper (again UI stuff) as much on the android but those I guess I can try to tweak over time
- See-ming Lee 李思明 SML
But one thing super sweet is that I have like 5000 contacts on my Gmail, and when I bought my phone - tada my entire list is on the phone - all the more reason to put everything on it - the contacts app on my android has built-in integration to link facebook + flickr accounts and automatically pull people's photos from them. A lot of these open + portable feature makes it much more desirable than being on a closed and locked platform like the iphone

I'm still G1 bound on T-Mobile until next Oct. The Google Phone will be an unlocked GSM phone if the rumors are to be believed (and they are pretty ubiquitous by now) so depending on how much it will cost, I may spring for it if it pans out. It seems to have all the specs and features I've been waiting for... namely a 1Ghz Snapdragon CPU, 3.7" OLED screen and [hopefully] a good camera with HD video capability. Android is quickly evolving...
- Adrian
But one thing I would definitely say is that if I use the Android at any places populated with 'shallow' non-geeks, people with iphones no doubt pulls out theirs then give me a high-brow to 'dismiss' me which is annoying at times but ah well
- See-ming Lee 李思明 SML
Yes the CPU definitely sounds like. I would definitely recommend getting a fast CPU - as it matters. I tested out the Motorola droid at a store and it feels slow.
- See-ming Lee 李思明 SML
Droid has the same CPU as Palm Pre and iPhone 3GS, however Android still has some issues with sluggishness. Droid will probably be able to run glass smooth after a couple of updates or a hacked ROM.
- Adrian
I use Gmail for work myself, so I very much appreciated the G1's tacit synchronicity from day 1 as well.
- Adrian
G1 here too. Looking forward for an upgrade to a Snapdragon or better.

Looks pretty good .. but thinner than iPhone ? That can mean only one thing - no physical keyboard. Not my cup of tea.

Good comment on MacRumors by @saturniphone too: "In the end it's a phone. It is not your identity. I have requirements and desires for what I would like a phone to do to enhance my life and if the gPhone meets more of them than the iPhone, I'm in. You are not your mobile phone, people."

Looks like we were right: Google has officially announced the end of public judging for ADC2. I’m glad we were wrong about one thing… we thought it would take awhile to produce/present the winners but Eric Chu from the Android Team says that they’ll make the announcement on Monday, November 30th! Thanks to tens of [...]
Translation: Android will absorb Chrome. That's the only sensible option

The alternative would be support for Android plug-ins within Chrome ... the reincarnation of the Java applet.

"Last night saw Google pushing out the source code for Android 2.0 to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). In just under a few hours, the Android developer community had it working on a G1. Yep. You read it right. The “likeness” picture we created for this post stems from a screenshot taken by Android hacker-extraordinaire Cyanogen."

As soon as I get this, I'm going to get a Droid body kit and a really big spoiler for my G1. It will look like the land speeders in Star Wars.

I thought there were a lot more FFers in LA than is shown on that map.

Roberto, so you click on Edit, add your marker, hit Save then Done?

I tried out this application I downloaded last night and was pleasantly surprised by the results. I didn't get to try out all the effects and settings but in general it's pretty nifty. Not sure I like the Fisheye effect (I know Ilia did not like the pics of her taken with it), but the others seen here are rather nice lo-fi effects. The application is free, fast and hasn't force closed yet. Recomended!
- Adrian
I tried it out. Not bad. I'm gonna do some test shots tomorrow when there's some sun :)
- imabonehead
BTW, I checked the settings, and it defaults to 720x480 resolution. The highest resolution it does is 960x640. That's kinda small but ok for web posting I suppose. Lo-fi is the operative term here. I meant to take it outside and point it at the smokey skyline here in LA or some flowers but it was just one of those stay inside all day kinda days. :)

I like how the picture of our neighborhood looks like an old postcard.
- Anika
It is pretty neat. Next time I will get up off my office chair to take the photos, lol. *Maybe* go outside.
- Adrian
Well, the tape on the window makes it look like a postcard stitched back together. In fact, if our car wasn't there, it would almost look like the 70s.
- Anika
These are beautiful, Adrian! Normally I wouldn't be able to get past your gorgeous kids, but the 70s postcard photo (yeah, Anika, I got your back!!!) and the portrait of you are especially good.

Interesting way to approach podcasting... by subscribing to search terms. Not sure that will work out so well.

nice! Daniel, I think it is a great idea, I have a hard time finding podcasts, but it would make it easier for me to use search terms.

just downloaded it. searched for NPR and started playing right away. Pretty cool.

This is a fantastic app. I'm already thinking of ditching BeyondPod and using Listen for everything. Listen has such a great seamless UI. It's a pleasure to use.

Can someone upload APK file somewhere? Many people would cheer to that I'm sure. :-)
