Look no further than Laika, the first animal to orbit Earth, soon to become a the first animal to die in orbit, not too long after achieving that earlier distinction. The dwarf hamsters that occupy Hampture seem to be considerably happier in their own scientific explorations than the Soviet mutt, at the moment. Bob Averill brought the project to our attention last week on our <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/06/come-hang-with-us-at-ground-kontrol-in-portland-or-this-wednes/">visit to Portland, Oregon</a>. According to the official blog, the project is an attempt to "learn firsthand what is involved in designing and constructing a complete underwater habitat capable of sustaining complex organisms." It also may well be a gateway to sending the hamsternauts into space via Skystation Mk1. Averill is also looking to turn Hampture into a salable product, though <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/kickstarter/">Kickstarter</a>, for one, has apparently balked at the idea. In the meantime, you can check out a streaming feed of the habitat after the break and read up on the making of the project in the source links below.</p><p></p><p></p><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/14/hampture-underwater-colony-established-for-science-leads-the-wa/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Hampture underwater colony established for science, leads the way for future hamster space exploration</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/14/hampture-underwater-colony-established-for-science-leads-the-wa/">Hampture underwater colony established for science, leads the way for future hamster space exploration</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 14 Aug 2012 19:53:00 EDT.

There's a video introducing the new layouts after the break.<br /> <br /> The five new views provide fresh and interesting ways to explore your favorite Blogger blogs. The <a href="http://www.thecrosbykitchen.com/view/mosaic">Mosaic view</a>, for example, creates a wall of thumbnails -- click one, and it zooms to fill the screen; click it again and it minimizes. <a href="http://www.thecrosbykitchen.com/view/flipcard">Flipcard</a> is similar to Mosaic, but not quite as eclectic. <a href="http://www.thecrosbykitchen.com/view/sidebar">Sidebar</a>, <a href="http://www.thecrosbykitchen.com/view/timeslide">Timeslide</a> and <a href="http://www.thecrosbykitchen.com/view/snapshot">Snapshot</a> round off the new views, with each one obviously targeted at different types of content, from photo blogs, to text-only philosophy blogs, and everything in between.<br /> <br /> For now, you have to visit a Blogger blog and add <strong>/view</strong> to the URL to enable the new Dynamic Views. If you own a Blogger blog, you can <a href="http://www.google.com/support/blogger/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1227173&ctx=go">disable the new views</a> -- and really, why weren't they disabled by default?<br /> <br /> If feedback is positive -- which we're sure it will be -- these Dynamic Views will soon be enabled by default. You'll also be able to edit the views in much the same way as current Blogger templates.<p><a href="http://downloadsquad.switched.com/2011/03/31/google-blogger-platform-introduces-five-new-html5-dynamic-views/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Google's Blogger platform adds five new HTML5 Dynamic Views</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://downloadsquad.switched.com/2011/03/31/google-blogger-platform-introduces-five-new-html5-dynamic-views/">Google's Blogger platform adds five new HTML5 Dynamic Views</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://downloadsquad.switched.com">Download Squad</a> on Thu, 31 Mar 2011 10:15:00 EST.

Well, congratulations -- you now have a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Googleplus">Google+</a> vanity URL.

Yes, you do run and jump around, and you also shoot at stuff. But the game has much, much more going for it.<br /> <br /> Basically, as you run, jump and shoot, you gain experience points and level up. Hitting <strong>Space</strong> brings you into an interface where you can convert your experience points into Charisma, Intelligence, Agility and Dexterity points. Once you've "specialized" your points, you then get to pick what exact skills you'd like to enhance in each field. For example, you could use your dexterity to enhance your weapons or increase your swiftness.<br /> <br /> The game is played in a huge maze; you go through rooms using doors, and there's a large map. As the name implies, there are quests you can take, too. For example, one quest had me searching all over the place for ten balloons.<br /> <br /> The bottom line is that this is a surprisingly deep game that just might ensnare you for a good bit longer than you intended to play.

The latest scam comes from Uniontown, Fayette County and <a href="http://www.wtae.com/news/local/fayette/Craigslist-iPad-buyers-being-robbed-instead/-/10931844/16042884/-/ek88c2/-/index.html">WTAE</a> has the full story.</p> <blockquote> <p>Police said two people who tried to buy iPads listed for sale on Craigslist were robbed in Uniontown, Fayette County. In each case, an iPad was being offered at a low price, and the interested buyers were lured for an in-person meeting. "However, when they arrived in Uniontown, they were instead met by armed men who, at that point, robbed them," Police Chief Jason Cox said. The incidents happened on Dunlap and Hickle streets.</p> <p>Police told Channel 4 Action News investigator Paul Van Osdol that each victim was robbed of several hundred dollars. One was forced at gunpoint to withdraw money from an ATM. "The victims were pretty shaken up, and it was very clear they were totally unaware of what they were walking into," Cox said.</p> </blockquote> <p>These types of scams appear to be happening all over the U.S. and all over the world too; we have heard reports of similar types of scams, not that long ago in the UK. That particular scam involved iPhone and iPads in sealed boxes which when opened were <a href="www.imore.com/conman-selling-sealed-iphone-boxes-uk-potatos">filled with water bottles or potatoes.</a></p> <p>Deals like these are always a tempting way to grab yourself an iPad, iPhone or iPod touch at a knock down price but you must use a bit of common sense; if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is too good to be true so stay well away. If you can’t pass up on a deal, make sure you at least arrange to meet any potential sellers in a very public place, not in a car lot, late at night.</p> <p>Have you bought any Apple products through Craigslist or eBay?

I use <a href="http://downloadsquad.switched.com/tag/writemonkey/">WriteMonkey</a> for my creative writing needs, and VIM in a full-screen PuTTY session for my Web development work. That being the case, I'm all over the monospace, dark-background, focused editing scene.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.ommwriter.com/en/">OmmWriter</a> attempts to take that aesthetic and make it somehow more spiritual, with three picturesque backgrounds and ambient background audio tracks (there are seven of each in the paid version).<br /> <br /> I'm of two minds about this app. On the one hand, yes, it's beautiful. But if you want music as a background to your writing, why not pick your own soundtrack with Winamp or Foobar2000 running in the background?<br /> <br /> OmmWriter also offers three keyboard-clicking sounds, which are kind of nice. None of these features are groundbreaking, really. OmmWriter could be seen as a way to gently ease into the world of distraction-free writing -- in case something like WriteMonkey's dark background is just too oppressive for you.<br /> <br /> After the fold you can see a video showcasing several of OmmWriter's features and creative soundscapes.<p><a href="http://downloadsquad.switched.com/2011/04/01/ommwriter-brings-its-clean-calm-writing-interface-to-windows/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>OmmWriter brings its clean, calm writing interface to Windows</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://downloadsquad.switched.com/2011/04/01/ommwriter-brings-its-clean-calm-writing-interface-to-windows/">OmmWriter brings its clean, calm writing interface to Windows</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://downloadsquad.switched.com">Download Squad</a> on Fri, 01 Apr 2011 13:00:00 EST.

WinRumors is also reporting that a feature reminiscent of <a href="http://downloadsquad.switched.com/tag/GoogleInstant/">Google Instant</a> search is being added to Bing, with page elements smoothly transitioning in and out as you type in your search query.<br /> <br /> If you want to try out the new Bing UI, your best bet is to set your locale to United States - English and pray that you're part of the initial roll out. Alternatively, just wait a few days until <a href="http://live.visitmix.com/">MIX 2011</a>, Microsoft's Web developer conference, which is when the new Bing UI should be officially launched.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://downloadsquad.switched.com/2011/04/08/bing-begins-roll-out-of-html5-enhanced-search-interface/">Bing begins roll out of HTML5-enhanced search interface</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://downloadsquad.switched.com">Download Squad</a> on Fri, 08 Apr 2011 06:30:00 EST.

But never mind the numbers, look at the pretty graph!<br /> <br /> If you've ever read <a href="http://www.fourmilab.ch/hackdiet/www/hackdiet.html">The Hacker's Diet</a>, this graph should be instantly recognizable. Each point shows the weight for a given day, while the trend line lets you see if you're gaining or losing weight.<br /> <br /> When I use my "main" PC, I have a homebrew solution for creating and maintaining this graph. But I've had to find a temporary solution for Android, and <a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=net.cachapa.libra">Libra</a> is it.<br /> <br /> It's a beautifully simple app, very true to the spirit of The Hacker's Diet. You can create a shortcut on your homescreen that brings you right into the data entry screen, so you just tap the shortcut every morning, feed in your weight for the day and hit OK, and then you get to see your progress (or lack thereof) on the graph.<br /> <br /> The app remembers the previous day's weigh-in, which makes it easy to enter today's weight (as they're usually not too different). The graph is zoomable and scrollable, and most importantly, you can export the data to CSV so you're not locked into the app.<br /> <br /> If you ever need to track your weight using an Android device for any period of time, Libra is one excellent solution.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://downloadsquad.switched.com/2011/03/31/libra-for-android-helps-you-track-your-weight-using-the-hackers/">Libra for Android helps you track your weight using The Hacker's Diet system</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://downloadsquad.switched.com">Download Squad</a> on Thu, 31 Mar 2011 12:30:00 EST.

Early on, it’s fairly easy keeping up with mindless drones flinging themselves against the castle walls, but eventually you face down more powerful demons with ranged attacks and challenging new tactics. Luckily, players gather a broad array of new powers and weapons to defend their wall.</p> <p class="rtecenter" style=""><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="383" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/3M_LZIFDcZY" width="680"></iframe></p> <p></p><p><a href="http://www.androidcentral.com/defender-2-review-wave-defense-magic-and-big-honkin-crossbow" target="_blank">read more</a></p><img width='1' height='1' src='http://androidcentral.com.feedsportal.com/c/33995/f/616884/s/22444562/mf.gif' border='0'/><div class='mf-viral'><table border='0'><tr><td valign='middle'><a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/viral/sendEmail.cfm?lang=en&title=Defender+2+review+-+wave+defense+with+magic+and+a+big+honkin%27+crossbow&link=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.androidcentral.com%2Fdefender-2-review-wave-defense-magic-and-big-honkin-crossbow" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/images/emailthis2.gif" border="0" /></a></td><td valign='middle'><a href="http://res.feedsportal.com/viral/bookmark.cfm?title=Defender+2+review+-+wave+defense+with+magic+and+a+big+honkin%27+crossbow&link=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.androidcentral.com%2Fdefender-2-review-wave-defense-magic-and-big-honkin-crossbow" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/images/bookmark.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></div><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/141465514231/u/49/f/616884/c/33995/s/22444562/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/141465514231/u/49/f/616884/c/33995/s/22444562/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/141465514231/u/49/f/616884/c/33995/s/22444562/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/androidcentral/~4/q2ItzVNDLfk" height="1" width="1"/><p>Source: <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/androidcentral/~3/q2ItzVNDLfk/story01.htm">http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/androidcentral/~3/q2ItzVNDLfk/story01.htm</a></p><p><a href="http://forgetfulmagic1.typepad.com/blog">Silicon Laboratories</a> <a href="http://demylaseter.multiply.com/journal/item/49/Business_Collection_Agencies_Agency_For_Outstanding_Debt_Collections_">Si International</a> <a href="http://alvavanalstin3369.px949z32.com/6/7-rules-for-shopping-for-insurance-of-any-sort/">Seagate Technology</a> <a href="http://fomikoflour.tumblr.com/post/400">Scientific Games</a> <a href="http://agustinmeserole4502.vzlegato411.com/8/from-where-to-get-catering-supplies/">Sandisk</a> <a href="http://etheljdolan.blogspot.com/2011/12/that-major-task-in-insurance-brokers.html">Salesforce Com</a> </p>best cool picshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12926996519586583403noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-418025708246041089.post-64694888175254966182012-08-13T04:13:00.001-07:002012-08-13T04:13:12.850-07:00Cueboy Quest is an adorable 8-bit style physics game<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.newcave.com/game/?id=3493"><img hspace="4" height="368 width=" vspace="4" border="0" align="middle" alt="cueboyquest" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/downloadsquad.switched.com/media/2011/02/cueboyquest-6329.jpg" /></a></div> Yes, that's right, I said <em>adorable</em>. Because <a href="http://www.newcave.com/game/?id=3493">Cueboy Quest</a> really is!<br /> <br /> You play an 8-bit cowboy whose goal on each level is to get to the door (and thus to the next level), but the door is often locked. To get it to open, you must shoot at one or more targets, and those targets aren't always in your line of sight. For example, on one level the the target is a balloon which is stuck all the way at the other end of the screen. You must first nudge it free, and then watch it float up and try to shoot it before it floats clear off the screen. Your bullets are chunky pixels that have some weight - the have arcing trajectories, so you don't always hit exactly where you aim.<br /> <br /> There's another level where you must jump on the balloon as it floats up, use it as a platform to get to the other end of the screen, and then turn to shoot it very quickly before it flies away. Each level is very short, and most of them are quite easy. And not only are the graphics 8-bit blocky, but they're <em>large</em> too. Simply beautiful!<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://downloadsquad.switched.com/2011/02/22/cueboy-quest-is-an-adorable-8-bit-style-physics-game/">Cueboy Quest is an adorable 8-bit style physics game</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://downloadsquad.switched.com">Download Squad</a> on Tue, 22 Feb 2011 17:00:00 EST.

With nothing more than a jailbroken iPad or iPhone, you can use FakeLocation to trick Color into thinking you're somewhere else. Within seconds you can be browsing photos that were snapped thousands of miles away. With a little digging, you can pore through photos not intended for your eyes.<br /> <br /> Of course, such a hack isn't illegal as such -- every photo you take with Color is public. With FakeLocation you are simply circumventing Color's very limited location-oriented security mechanism. It does undermine Color's usefulness (and uniqueness), though -- if nefarious types can sit in their bedroom or basement and eavesdrop on classy dinner parties and wild night club soirees, people might be less inclined to share personal photos with those around them.<br /> <br /> Fortunately, both for Color and its users, this is an easy security hole to plug -- at least in the short term. The app (or server-side) code simply checks to see if the user has 'teleported' an impossibly large distance, without any intermediate steps in between. In the long term, though, Color's users must be aware that its social graph <em>is completely public</em>. Color's users must realize that every photo they upload is visible by anyone, from any place.<br /> <br /> After the break, just to elucidate a little on Color's actual business model and ultimate intention, we have two amazing quotes from Bill Nguyen, Color's founder.<p><a href="http://downloadsquad.switched.com/2011/03/29/color-vulnerable-to-simple-gps-hack-lets-you-spy-on-anyone-any/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Color vulnerable to simple GPS hack, lets you spy on anyone, anywhere</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://downloadsquad.switched.com/2011/03/29/color-vulnerable-to-simple-gps-hack-lets-you-spy-on-anyone-any/">Color vulnerable to simple GPS hack, lets you spy on anyone, anywhere</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://downloadsquad.switched.com">Download Squad</a> on Tue, 29 Mar 2011 05:36:00 EST.
