She’s 6,7″ tall (205 cm exactly).

Though just a concept, created by T0R0YD in 3DS Max, this anti-water device shows what might be possible in the future. This technology could be used to build underwater tunnels, umbrellas, dams, and more.

PicPick is an useful Windows utility that includes a decent screen capture program, a Paint like image editing software and a whiteboard tool to help you draw freehand on the desktop using your mouse (handy when you are giving presentations).

During screen capture, you can select the “Capture Window Control” mode and capture objects that extend multiple screens (like a long Word document or a lengthy web page). And like SnagIt, PicPick can send screenshot images directly to another programs after capture or it can automatically upload them to an FTP server.
Portable Image Editor

The image editor included with PicPick sports an Office 2007/2010 like ribbon interface and supports tabs so you can edit multiple screenshot images / photographs from the same window.

If you are a web designer, you can use the built-in crosshair tool to determine the coordinates of any point on the desktop screen or for capturing the exact dimensions of an object (in pixels).

And since the software doesn’t require installation, you can put it on a USB drive and use it on any computer.

Time Magazine has released their list of 50 Best Inventions of 2009 and there are some amazing inventions which you might have never seen before.

The Best Invention of the Year is NASA’s Ares Rockets; and they call it the “the best and smartest and coolest thing built in 2009 — a machine that can launch human beings to cosmic destinations we’d never considered before”.

Most streaming music services let you search for songs and generate playlists based on the specific tunes you want to hear, or will make suggestions to you based on the types of music you would like if you like a certain artist, but if you’re looking for an even lazier option, give Stereomood a try.

The service lets you pick your mood or the mood you’re trying to set, and automatically generates a playlist suited to that mood. Just tell it you’re feeling thoughtful, energetic, ready to party, melancholy, or about to sit down and read for a while, and the Web service will generate the playlist and start the music for you.
Any music lover will admit that when you listen to a song, you feel a certain emotional reaction. Some songs can elicit emotional responses on their own, and if you’re feeling a certain way or want to feel a certain way, music can help you get there. So if you’re feeling a little down and want music to match, sometimes it’s worthwhile to listen to a little Lily Frost or some Grizzly Bear to suit that mood. At the same time, if you’re feeling down and want to brighten things up, Stereomood can play some Vampire Weekend or MGMT to brighten the day.

Stereomood – MoodsThe service has dozens of moods to choose from on the front page; some of them vague and some specific, such as “melancholy,” “happy,” and “sexy.” At the same time, there are some less expected moods available, including “Sunday morning,” which includes artists such as God Help the Girl and Princeton, and “driving Route 66″ which features artists such as Bob Dylan and Patti Smith. The service reminds me of TheSixtyOne, which also has user-generated playlists built on moods, although they’re not the highlight of the service.

Stereomood – Road TripIf you just want to use the service to listen to music, you can click a mood and get started. If you sign up for an account at Stereomood, you can save songs that you like to a personal playlist (or series of playlists) if you want to come back to them later or make playlists based on your own moods. If you find a song you particularly like, you can also click to share it with friends, tag the song so others can easily find it and add it to their playlists, and buy the song at AmazonMP3 or on the iTunes Music Store.

The service is all streaming, and the only way to get copies of the music is to buy them from online music stores. Stereomood even links to the music blogs it streams music from if you want to read more about the song or the mood it created in the person who wrote about it. The developers behind Stereomood thought it would be better to organize songs by people’s feelings and activities, and they’ve done an amazing job of creating a fun to use streaming music site that’s perfect for those times when you just want to hear something that makes you feel a certain way.
