Mark Pernice's face distortion mask

Words from Mark's website : Using Apple's Photo Booth application as inspiration, the idea was to take the 2D image that it manipulated and create a tangible face in a real environment, then in turn bring it back into a 2D image. Using Photo Booth on the mask itself may create some sort of paradoxal shift where I cease to exist.

iPad wha?

Today marks the official release of Apple's iPad. In layman's terms, the iPad is basically a larger version of the iPod. Sort of like those gigantic calculators you can buy at the dollar store, only these play music. And you can read books on them!

Reviews are varying between an Epic Fail and Apple moving their headquarters to Mount Sinai. On gizmodo.com, blogger francisco.e.soto comments: "This is going to completely revolutionize my pooping experience." We agree!

To celebrate this monumental day in technology, we give you a snippet of other objects enlarged for no good reason.

Careful now.

What do you think of the iPad, Musers? Waste of space, or can't wait to own one?

Watch how much money we are making!!

At Apple’s WWDC event in San Francisco, Apple had a bunch of Cinema Display monitors mounted together on a wall showing what looked to be some sort of pulsating canvas. But a closer look revealed that it was actually a huge collection of icons for many of the apps available in the App Store, arranged by color. Apparently, when someone purchased one, that app’s icon would pulsate, creating the effect.

While it wasn’t quite real-time, nor was it entirely representative of all the more than 50,000 apps in the App Store, the visualization was pretty damn cool.

Sometimes the most obvious ideas are the best. Maybe this isn't that obvious, but it's better than the Yo Gabba Gabba! sticker on my MacBook.
