With the hard economic times, you’ve no doubt been cutting back. But are you suddenly missing your magazine subscriptions? Well, if you are, a new HP project called Tabbloid should make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside (OK… maybe not fuzzy … or warm).
Tabbloid turns you favorite RSS feeds into a “magazine” that’s delivered right to your email inbox. You can choose how soon the feeds get “printed” and delivered too! The web software does a good job at making the design seem like a magazine (even though it’s a PDF).
You set up your own magazine at Tabbloid.com … enjoy!

If you’re looking for a quick break from checking your
Gmail (or Google Apps) account, then press shift + 7. A game of “Snake” will load in the window. You can then use the arrow keys to move around.
In order to activate the game, you must have keyboard shortcuts turned on. Visit Settings > General to turn keyboard shortcuts on.

Many creative professionals consider Adobe Photoshop the “go-to” application for professional image manipulation. However, it’s expensive, and not everyone can afford it.
Here comes a free alternative (and it’s not The Gimp), it’s Pixlr — and it’s online! Best part? You don’t even need to create an account. Just click the “Jump In” button and begin your image editing.
The application supports layers, custom brushes, filters, and more. If you’re a developer, there’s even an API that allows you to expand up on the web app.
You can try out Pixlr by going to www.pixlr.com
