OMG! UBUNTU!: Install Picasa 3.5 In Linux - http://d0od.blogspot.com/2009...
Google this week released Picasa 3.5 for Windows and Mac. Sadly no Linux version was offered, a fact Google blamed on the lowly adoption figures they have for Picasa on Linux. - James Fridley

What's Behind Japan's Love Affair with Robots? - TIME

Learn A New Language With Anki’s Flash Card System - http://www.makeuseof.com/tag...
This could be a useful program for a number of things. Might try getting back into languages. Guess the next one is Spanish or German - James Fridley
I actually prefer the systems using forgetry algorithms like http://www.supermemo.com/ or the open source version http://www.mnemosyne-proj.org, they remind and test you when you're most likely to forget, it's individualised to your own inidividual memory's failure - meika loofs samorzewski
