Craigslist Slowly Expands Its Maps To Items For Sale, Starting First With Yard Sales And Flea Markets Craigslist has started to add maps to its sales listings, letting people view not just what items are being sold, but where those items are located on a map.

Howstuffworks "How Police Interrogation Works" There are "Law & Order" addicts everywhere who think they could get a perp to confess. A little glaring, some getting in the guy's face, a revelation that his fingerprints are all over the murder weapon and voilà! He's recounting his crime. In real life, police interrogation requires more than confidence and creativity (although those qualities do help) -- interrogators are highly trained in the psychological tactics of social influence. Getting someone to confess to a crime is not a simple task, and the fact that detectives sometimes end up with confessions from the innocent testifies to their expertise in psychological manipulation.

YouTube launches YouTube Capture, a video recording, editing app Today, YouTube introduced its first standalone mobile app, a point-and-shoot video recording and light editing app exclusively for the iPhone and iPod Touch called “YouTube Capture.” Now just about anyone can easily record a YouTube video without the expensive gear that amateur and professional videographers tend to carry around.

We checked out the app and found it to be no fuss way to record, quickly edit, and share videos to YouTube, Google+, Facebook, and Twitter. When you open up the app, there isn’t a traditional landing page that you can access. Instead, it immediately opens up the camera with a red button centered at the bottom of the screen.

By now everyone has seen crisscrossing streaks of white clouds trailing behind jet aircraft, stretching from horizon to horizon, eventually turning the sky into a murky haze. Our innate intelligence tells us these are not mere vapor trails from jet engines, but no one yet has probed the questions: WHO is doing this and WHY.
