TweetDeck for iPhone
Thanks for all the amazing feedback about TweetDeck for iPhone we’re just as excited to be able to use TweetDeck on the move as you are.
If you already use TweetDeck on the desktop the easiest way to get started is to download the new desktop version and register for a TweetDeck account. This will sync all your existing information including columns and groups to the TweetDeck server. Then all you need do is download TweetDeck for iPhone for free from the Apple App Store and enter your TweetDeck account details and you’ll be presented with a list of columns you can import and view on your iPhone. Magic, all your columns are synced and ready to go. You can use all your favourite TweetDeck features on the iPhone: tweet, create groups, save searches, shorten URLs, share photos, follow and unfollow people and much more. There’s also a few new features we think you’re going to love:• Manage multiple Twitter accounts with no need to switch between accounts.
• Notifications make it simple to see what’s new as it arrives so you never miss an important @reply or direct message again. Click the notification message to be taken directly to the column you want to see.
• Tweet your location or add your location to your Twitter profile.
• And when you need to refresh the content simply shake your iPhone to update.
Visit our iPhone FAQs to find out more about how to use these features and more on your iPhone. This is our debut on iPhone so watch this space as we’ll be continually improving going forward. And if you don’t have an iPhone you can still watch the video to see what all the fuss is about.
Potato Portraits by Ginou Choueiri
Las Papas art installation by Ginou Choueiri consists of hundreds of potato portraits that grow, live, and then eventually decay and die.
“I chose the potato to portray human faces because of the many striking
parallels. Not only is their skin porous like ours, but their skin
texture and color is very similar, and like us, they come in different
sizes, shapes and forms.” - Ginou Choueiri [via]

Fantastic HDR Pictures
Applied carefully, High Dynamic Range-technique (HDR) can create incredibly beautiful pictures which blur our sense of the difference between reality and illusion. In graphics HDR imaging is a set of techniques that allow a far greater dynamic range of exposures than normal digital imaging techniques. The intention is to accurately represent the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes, ranging from direct sunlight to the deepest shadows. This is usually achieved by modifying photos with image processing software for tone-mapping. And the results can be really incredible; in fact, many artists and designers come up with some pretty fancy results.
