Live Image Search

Okay, so I thought the coolest thing about Live Image Search was that it let you scale the picture so you could zoom back, but no the coolest thing is that it now provides you with a never ending page when you search, so that you just keep scrolling down past images until you find one. No more clicking! Really clever.

Download of the Day: Google AutoPager (Greasemonkey) - Lifehacker

Google AutoPager (Greasemonkey) - Lifehacker

"Typically, when you get to the bottom of a search page, you have to click Next to view the next batch of results. Not so with AutoPager: It fetches and appends the next batch as you scroll down, creating the illusion of infinite scrolling. Obviously you could just increase the number of results that appear when you search, but that makes for longer load times. AutoPager retrieves extra results a page at a time, as needed. Great little script; works like a charm."

US defence contractor looks for quantum leap in radar research | The Guardian | Guardian Unlimited: "They designed an exploding cigar to kill Fidel Castro and hired fortune-tellers to fight the cold war. Now the US military is taking its war on terror where even Albert Einstein feared to tread - into the baffling world of quantum mechanics. Lockheed Martin, a main US defence contractor, thinks it can exploit research on the fringes of theoretical physics to build the ultimate radar, which could see through anything, from buildings to solid earth."

Mobile on-demand subsciption service for music

Unlimited mobile music for £1.99 a week

In what may prove to be the most far-reaching digital music launch since iTunes, Omnifone today took the wraps off its MusicStation service.
The service gives mobile phone users access to the big four labels' music catalogs on-demand for £1.99 (€2.99) a week, using a player that runs on mid-range feature phones and GPRS or EDGE networks, as well as high-end 3G phones - which Omnifone reckons gives it access to 70 per cent of the world's phone users. Indie content will follow, it's expected, as the indies are in the process of setting up their one-stop licensing arm Merlin, announced earlier this month.

Wists adds a social aspect to shopping, so you can share what your wishlist on your blog. But even more interestingly perhaps are these three websites that are part ofthe network:

1 - smashingtelly.com - which has a list of the best full length tv shows available on the internet.

2 - cribcandy.com - which is a list of all kinds of really interesting things you might want to buy for your house. Selected by people who seem to know what they are talking about. Because it's not all from shop there's less dross.

3 - popgloss.com - which is the same idea as cribcandy but for womens clothes.

Steve Jobs - Thoughts on Music

An interesting article by Steve Jobs where he completely agrees with what I said on Doug's blog the other day (he just doesn't cite his references damn him!)

Apple - Thoughts on Music: "With the stunning global success of Apple’s iPod music player and iTunes online music store, some have called for Apple to “open” the digital rights management (DRM) system that Apple uses to protect its music against theft, so that music purchased from iTunes can be played on digital devices purchased from other companies, and protected music purchased from other online music stores can play on iPods. Let’s examine the current situation and how we got here, then look at three possible alternatives for the future."
