Daniel Cormier added a few extra shots to make sure Big Foot was KO'd

Last weekend Joe Stump, Daniel Burka, and I sat down and white-boarded the Digg iPhone app. I told Joe if he coded it in 48hrs, I'd buy him an iPhone. Needless to say, he got it done (nice work, Joe).

Last week's unopposed election of Nicaraguan Reverend Miguel D'Escoto Brockmann as the next President of the 192-member United Nations General Assembly will further undermine the standing of the UN in the eyes of the American public. D'Escoto served as foreign minister of Nicaragua during the Sandinista dictatorship of Daniel Ortega...

In January Luis Carone and Daniel Dias of Jonathon Post in Brazil released a clever troll video showcasing a fake device that supposedly allows you to watch 3D media without the need for glasses. It appeared as if it could make your eye lids to flutter rapidly as if they were shutter glasses.

As 3D sets proliferate, TV producers have to tailor the way they film shows -- which may mean subtle but significant changes to 2D versions. Read this blog post by Daniel Terdiman on Geek Gestalt.

As things stand now in the GOP’s fight for the 2012 presidential nomination, I believe Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels is probably the best bet. I’ve heard talk of a potential Daniels-Marco Rubio ticket, and if that came to pass, it would represent a formidable challenge to Barack Obama (who, is—and will be—eminently beatable next year). I liked Mitt Romney in 2008 and still do today, but not many others did or do, evidently, and so it’s hard to see why he’d have a much better showing this time around. Furthermore, the Massachusetts healthcare issue is obviously an enormous albatross around his neck, and The Wall Street Journal is eviscerating Romney, which may further torpedo his probable candidacy.

Trip out on photos from Brazil's biggest annual party. For Brazilians, the year can only officially start after Carnival. The annual party that happens 40 days before Easter is a massive celebration of life, music, summer, and samba. If you weren’t lucky enough to be at this year’s Carnival, you can experience last year’s spectacle through photographer Daniel Farjoun’s collection of 3D photos, showcasing the crowds, the parade, and the scandalous costumes the event is famous for. All you need are some 3D glasses.

Agence France-Presse stunned the Twitter-sphere last month when the wire service defended itself against a copyright claim brought by Daniel Morel, a photographer who captured iconic images of the Haiti earthquake, by saying that the photos were essentially free for the taking because they’d been shared over Twitter and TwitPic. Tweeting photographers can rest easy, because now a court has ruled that AFP isn’t off the hook, and will have to answer for its unauthorized use of Morel’s images.
