BBC News - Apple "Botched" Snow Leopard →
An incredible WTF from the BBC, claiming Apple botched its latest OS release in an article about Windows 7. Not a shred of context or proof is offered in the article. (Via MacDailyNews)

Augmented Reality app Wikitude Hits the UK App... →
But with Layar already out, does anyone still care? Admittedly, Wikitude’s comparatively uncluttered interface gives it some usability points over its rival, but the app’s limited data set may have some users opting for Layar’s more varied and open information base.

UK crowdsourcing crime prevention via CCTV 'web... →
Fancy yourself a crimefighter? Then this might be for you: “The ‘Internet Eyes’ service involves players scouring thousands of CCTV cameras installed in shops, businesses and town centres across Britain looking for law-breakers. Players who help catch the most criminals each month will win cash prizes up to £1,000.” This has got to be either the coolest idea in crime...

The end is coming? Why not shop till you drop with the fantastic offers at 2012Supplies.com, a one-stop-shop for gullible idiots. Cashing in on the common misinterpretation of the Mayan Calendar, 2012Supplies provides chumps with everything they need to survive the end of the world. That’s if a gas generator, a can of beans and a bulletproof vest could somehow save you from the...

Laugh Out Loud: Saudis asking for aid. →
During the Bangkok climate talks, Saudi Arabia has been quietly asking for aid provisions to make up for the world’s progress away from an oil-based economy. Poor Saudis. I’d give them money myself if I hadn’t already donated all my savings towards helping Rupert Murdoch re-tile his yacht’s swimming pool with Venetian marble.

AT&T OK's VOIP: Where is O2? →
Looks like our american friends have finally caught a break, with AT&T giving the all-clear to the use of VOIP apps like Skype on their 3G network. What about UK mobile users? O2, the only iPhone carrier currently carrying the iPhone (if not for long), still hasn’t made any announcements on the subject. It’ll be interesting to see just how long they think they can get away with...

RedLaser for iPhone: a great hack?
Barcode scanning apps on the iPhone are ten a penny, but £1.99 RedLaser [iTunes link] does something different: in scan mode, it constantly analyses the viewfinder’s video stream until it finds a barcode, without the user having to take a picture. Big deal right? Well yes, because it’s not supposed to do that. Apple’s latest API’s, released with the iPhone OS 3.1 update,...
