Woven | Your Memories. Woven Together. A Graphic Guide to Facebook Portraits Everyone is aware of how significantly Facebook has impacted modern technologies such as online communication, information aggregation, and boyfriend stalking. Less noticed, but just as profound, is its influence on art. Just as refinements in mirror crafting led to an increase in self portrait production during the Renaissance, Facebook's steady, unrelenting invasion of every crevice in the civilized world has led to a new renaissance in portraiture, notable for its creation by people who wouldn't know good art if it friend requested them. These office workers and bored teens have replaced Okies and deranged shut-ins as the ultimate outsider artists; not only do they lack formal artistic training, most lack even the desire to create art. However, with this humble, ad hoc genre a complex visual dialogue has emerged, and its unique vocabulary reveals much about the modern world. Click to Expand

Nutrition experts battle industry groups over sugar By Nanci Hellmich, USA TODAY Before you chug down another regular soda, or spoon sugar into your tea or coffee, consider this: There's a heated debate going on over the health risks of consuming too much sugar, high-fructose corn syrup and other caloric sweeteners. On one side: Leading nutrition experts who believe that these sweeteners, including those used in soft drinks, tea, coffee and countless other foods and beverages, add empty calories to people's diets and promote weight gain. And they say emerging scientific research indicates that consuming too much of these sweeteners may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and other health problems. On the other side: industry groups representing sugar and high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) that say their products are natural and don't cause weight gain or health problems. The American Heart Association is on the nutrition experts' side. And the Corn Refiners Association is running ads to boost the image of HFCS.
CameraTweak adds tons of useful options to the stock camera app From a quality standpoint, the iPhone’s built in camera has always been near the top of its respective class. But, admittedly, there are a few chinks in the armor when it comes to advanced camera features. For instance, there’s no countdown timer to be found inside the camera app. Also, more advanced features like independent reticles for exposure and focus are no where to be found. And what about a built in time lapse feature? That is, of course, unless you are jailbroken. Jailbreakers have the luxury of adding additional features to stock apps, and the Camera app is no exception. Once you install CameraTweak, you won’t notice any new settings panel inside the Settings app, but you will notice a host of new options within the stock Camera app. To the left of the camera shutter button resides a new button that resembles the volume control slider knob found in the app switcher. If you’re in photo mode, you’re presented with four buttons that perform the following: Timer mode Photos only.
