Angry Birds Nailed by The Oatmeal

Angry Birds Nailed by The Oatmeal: "

Do you know about The Oatmeal? They’re a pretty awesome group of folks who make illustrations and have an awesome, awesome blog. Occasionally they post something rather relevant to Android, like this Angry Birds infographic, and we just cannot resist. Take a peek at the first bit here, then go down the scale to the least likable birds in the pack. Can you guess which ones they are?




I’d have to say that this is basically the most accurate chart about the likability of Angry Birds that I’ve ever seen. From top to bottom, with the exception of that red bird, who I just cannot believe continues to come up later in the game, even fat, and think should be at the bottom of the chart, this chart is great. I must mention though that I don’t speak for everyone on our team, each person in the Android Community is of course an individual, and since this topic is an important one, I’ll leave it up to them to decide on their ideal chart.



Now you might notice the lack of a couple of birds on this chart. That is because we’ve left the tail end off as it is so common that someone will take a “The Oatmeal” chart in its entirety without linking back. In this case, we’ve decided to be incredibly noble and leave the last bit to them to display right over [here].

Space Shuttle Discovery’s Last Launch, Viewed From the Air [VIDEO]

Space Shuttle Discovery’s Last Launch, Viewed From the Air [VIDEO]: "

Imagine the delight of airline passengers when suddenly the Space Shuttle Discovery appeared, beginning its final voyage into space late Thursday afternoon.

Software developer Neil Monday shot this video aboard his flight from Orlando, which was late, but that’s a good thing — he and his fellow passengers were soon presented with this sublime moment of serendipity.

Best of all, did we hear that right? Drinks were on the house? This was Neil’s lucky day.

Oh, and to pull a late-night host and totally steal a joke from Reddit: Man, why they gotta make Apple General Grievous?


Happy Saturday, folks.

Picasa Web Albums now store unlimited small images and videos

Picasa Web Albums now store unlimited small images and videos: "picasa web free photo video storageRecently, some users of Google's Picasa Web service noticed something odd. Like Gmail, Picasa Web tells you how much of your total available storage you're using. Something appeared to be wrong, however -- users were reporting having more free space than they previously had. It's common for Google to silently bump our upper storage limits, but how were these users showing the same number of photos and far less of their storage used?



Turns out it's a change in Picasa Web policy, and a darn nice one at that: images under 800 pixels and video clips under 15 minutes no longer count against your storage limit.



That's certainly great news for anyone who uses Picasa Web to store images for blogging -- 800px is plenty wide for most layouts. It also makes Picasa Web a great place to upload and share all the lower-resolution photos you snap on your Android phone.



As for the 15 minute videos (which arguably take up more more drive space than an 800px photo)? Google has a voracious appetite for video, and might just be hoping that Picasa Web users will help it maintain its dominant position in terms of serving videos on the Web.
