It look very similar to Carousel that was directed by Adam Berg.

Same set of people or CSI copied it?

Personally, I think this is a bit extreme. Yes I know it’s expensive to bring water to space but aren’t there any much more pressing matters at hand? Like instead of using the money on this, donate a very small portion of it to people who just had a natural disaster or something like that. On Earth.

That’s just me I guess.

When you get older, you get to appreciate these kind of music.

You are my hero! Keep this up!

Here’s an announcement on their site:

Yahoo! acquires Xoopit.
Xoopit is joining Yahoo! to make the world’s best email even better.

Yahoo! will be integrating both our photo sharing applications and our content indexing and discovery technology into Yahoo! Mail and other services over the coming months.

Xoopit has emerged as a leader in mail applications, indexing and content discovery. Yahoo! has recognized that Xoopit’s technology elevates photos to the forefront of people’s everyday email experiences. Mail is the original online photo sharing experience, and combining these two products results in an evolved inbox experience. Yahoo! Mail users can expect to see their mail become even more efficient, social and fun!

The Xoopit team would like to thank our users for all the support and guidance in developing a service that people love. We would also like to thank our angels and venture investors, Charles Moldow from Foundation Capital and Theresia Gouw Ranzetta from Accel Partners for wisdom and commitment along the way!

The official announcement from Yahoo! can be found here.

Dear Xoopit team, I hope you’ll never share our Gmail account information to Yahoo! Thanks and looking forward to the Yahoo! Mail integration.

I feel for my kababayans out there. So sorry to hear this. I hope all my family, friends and everyone in the eye of the storm keep safe during this time.

We’ll pray for you.

Here are some pictures I’ve found on the netosphere.

To all you people out there, be safe.

Leaders, listen.

Do you like Brazilian beauties like Marcella (above)? Wanna meet masters of jiu jitsu? Well, if you dig straight down from Manila and never stop, you’ll end up in Brazil. That’s according to Ze Frank. (Note: I haven’t tried it and I have no plan of trying it).

Pretty cool to know if that’s true huh? Start digging!

Bubbleshare, my first online photo sharing site is closing its doors on November 15, 2009. I think Bubbleshare was one of the first online photo sharing site that utilized AJAX and did it really well. Founded by Albert Lai, it’s his 2nd startup. The 1st one was MyDesktopNetwork which was sold in 1999. Bubbleshare was acquired by Kaboose Inc for US$ 2.3M in 2007.

Here’s Bubbleshare’s announcement today:

Dear Bubbleshare member –

As of November 15, 2009, Bubbleshare.com will no longer be available and all links to all albums and photos will cease to function (including existing links within emails, blogs, etc). To access your photos in the future you will need to download your photos prior to November 15, 2009.

To save your images to your desktop, simply click the "Download Album" link next to your albums and double click on original photos. Your photos will then be saved to your desktop.

Again, all photos and albums must be removed prior to November 15, 2009. Effective immediately, you will no longer be able to upload any new photos or albums.

We apologize for the inconvenience. It was our pleasure to assist you with your photo sharing needs.
Thank you.

Sincerely,
The Bubbleshare Team

Good luck to the Bubbleshare team. It was really fun using the free online photo sharing site.

Your move FriendFeed.

Adobe BrowserLab is a new cool web service that helps you test your web pages across a different web browsers and operating systems.

Adobe BrowserLab currently supports Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari on both Mac and Windows XP. Just enter the website’s URL and it will take screenshots of your web page on different browsers and platforms. It displays the result using 1-up (on its own screenshot), 2-up (side by side comparison) and my favorite Onion Skin View (as shown below) where you can quickly pinpoint differences.

One awesome feature of the Onion Skin View is you can use the a slider to fade in/out of each browser screenshot. Pretty cool!

Hopefully Adobe will support more browsers and operating systems in the future.

Ha! Now all hackers need is the password (no pun intended). Clearly, this is not good. But who is to blame? Google? Wordpress? Or the end-user? Quite frankly, I am not sure. But I do know that it is time to change some of those information starting with the email address associated with that account.

Also, don’t forget making your password a bit stronger/longer using uppercases, numbers and character combinations.

So, how do you get this result? Simply enter “site:en.WordPress.com “your account is now active”” or click this link.

How do you find if your username was crawled? Add your username at the end like this:
“site:WordPress.com “your account is now active” johnsmith”

I suggest you change them now. It’s better safe than sorry.
