It can be argued that the crazy (and certainly crazy fast) animators on Taiwan in the next MEDIA animation are at it again. After processing more than at the top of animated summary for everything from Ceglia vs. Facebook history Antennagate, they did what they do best with a signal that almost all of our minds right now: the life and career of Steve jobs.

But don't worry: while it is simply absurd, as most of their animations, they tend to keep things mostly respectful. Low it goes when they, together with an indication of the birth of the Mac and things get a bit ... literal. After that, it is a challenge to death and the lightsaber wielding all the way down.

Once you have finished with your video, be sure to rinse the encomium yesterday posted its own John Biggs off kitsch.

On the heels of HP in the first and probably last webOS fire sale, the word came from across the pond thatthey are also deeply discounting the value of the new started before 3 Smartphone in most European markets.

Although initially available for the princely sum of £ 299 in the UK and € 349 in France (both are about $ 500), HP price dilute brings value to surprisingly reasonable $ 75 without a contract. Germany did not benefit from price cuts because all units already sold, believe it or not.

Phenomenal thing, although it may be, it comes with a bit of bad news for webOS fans. HP had pinned hopes for webOS ecosystems from beginning to end, and without the touchpad, it would seem that they saw no need to run until 3 in the United States. It's a shame, really: Pre3 was the last chance to HP on the relevance of the Smartphone market, and more than a few diehards webOS more or less patiently waiting for him.

If you have money in your pocket, and the pursuit of webOS in your heart, you can import it when it goes on sale "soon." keep in mind, despite the Pre 3 specification 's upper, expect some spottiness when it comes to coverage. T-Mobile users will be relegated to the edge of the speed and AT&T will be partial coverage 3 G at best.

In June this year, we noted that Instagram has a big milestone: 5 million users. While the total number of photos at the service was at 95 million, and given the pace of growth, they are expected to soon pass 100 million. Well, they missed, indicating that milestone, but today, not even two months later, they you mention another: 150 million photos.

It is 150 million photos are Instagram only 9 months since the app for comparison's sake, it took almost two years hit the Flickr 100 million photos on their service. Incredibly, Instagram now see photos 1.3 million downloaded every day is the number of 15 pictures per second.

The service is currently well past 7 million users, Instagram founder Kevin Systrom tells us. Again, that is over 2 million under the age of 2 months. Without any strategic actions they've grown to become the basis of the top 25 free app in the Apple App Store.

Yes, Flickr can now be well past photos 5 billion, and Facebook, you can see photos of 750 million into one crazy weekend, but remember that Instagram is still available only on one platform: iOS. Each of these 150 million photos loaded with iPhone (and to a much lesser extent, iPod touches and iPads). It cannot yet be used Instagram from any other device, and you can't even download photos from your computer. While Android will support, the experience will remain predominantly one mobile, said Systrom.

One more crazy stat: Systrom said that 150 million photographs, 80 per cent have filters applied to them. (A) of the remaining 20 per cent, many who come from other camera iPhone apps with their own filters.

Oh and don't forget Bieber.
