Improve Your Photo Booth With 90 Free Effects [Mac] | MakeUseOf Every Mac that comes with an iSight is loaded with Photo Booth. When I was Mac-less, I used to frequent Apple stores and somehow Photo Booth seemed to appeal to me then. Sadly, after I bought a Mac for myself, the attraction didn’t last very long and later, I sort of forgot about this nifty application which attracted me in the first place. To bring back the romance, I went on a search to see if I could add more effects to Photo Booth. There were only a few interesting pre-packaged ones and most of them had something to do with image distortion (squeeze, bulge, dent, mirror etc.). That was fun for a while but I need the “Wow” factor back desperately. In my search, I managed to uncover a few sites that offer a good collection of free Photo Booth effects. From B-L-A-C-K-O-P, I found CatEye, which is a collection of 5 sets of effects. I especially like the BoobToob set, it makes me feel like I’m on television. CatEye will only work on Leopard and is free (direct download link)

StumbleUpon unveils major redesign StumbleUpon is adding more avenues to meander through its online content recommendation service. The renovations, unveiled late Monday as part of a major overhaul, allow StumbleUpon's 20 million users to be more specific about their interests so they won't have to wait as long for the service's technology to figure it out. For example, users can now tell StumbleUpon to feed them information about specific brands, such as Audi, instead of a general topic such as cars or ask to be steered to the best material from a particular website, such as FunnyorDie.com. More than 250 brands, actors and sports figures have set up channels under StumbleUpon's new format. Besides Audi and FunnyorDie.com, StumbleUpon's initial channel line-up includes AOL., Walt Disney Co.'s ESPN, Tom Hanks and Magic Johnson. StumbleUpon also has added an "explore" option designed to make it easier to find content with a quick search. To herald the shift, StumbleUpon redesigned its logo.

Tasting Wine Tasting Wine All About Wine Tasting There’s more to tasting a glass of wine than throwing it down your gullet. We’ll start slow. Colour Hold the glass over a white background, like a napkin or tablecloth. Swirl Swirl the wine to aerate it. Nose Follow yours. Taste Skip the sip. Aftertaste is what lingers after you swallow. Finish What was the body of the wine like? With Food Remember, red wine is not necessarily more sophisticated than white, and not necessarily the only choice with meat. By Region Regional wine qualities tend to reflect the specifics of regional cuisines. Here are some top wine picks in Europe: Northern Italy: Piemonte and the Veneto are greatly influenced by the rich subtelty of their butter-worshipping French and Swiss neighbors. Central Italy: Trendy cuisine from Tuscany and Chianti favors lighter pastas, vegetables and seafood. Germany: Wines that are high in acid provide a necessary counterbalance to the fatty, bland, carb-and-meat-centric northern European diet.
