Animoto, a web application that automatically generates professionally produced videos using patent-pending technology and high-end motion design. Each video is a fully customized orchestration of user-selected images and music. Produced on a widescreen format, Animoto videos have the visual energy of a music video and the emotional impact of a movie trailer.
The heart of Animoto is its newly developed Cinematic Artificial Intelligence technology that thinks like an actual director and editor. It analyzes and combines user-selected images, video clips and music with the same sophisticated post-production skills and techniques that are used in television & film.

A color version of Amazon’s Kindle e-reader may come eventually, but it won’t be soon. Adding color to the Kindle’s “electronic ink” display is a difficult technical challenge and a color screen is “still a long way out,” said Jeff Bezos, founder and CEO, at Amazon’s annual shareholder meeting in Seattle.

Been using teleport with two iMacs running Snow Leopard for a few days now. So far so good!
teleport lets you use a single mouse and keyboard to control several Macs.
Simply reach an edge of your screen, and your mouse teleports to your nearby Mac, which also becomes controlled by your keyboard. The pasteboard can be synchronized, and you can even drag & drop files between your Macs.
It works on Leopard and SnowLeopard, with Intel processors, and is available in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Danish and Czech.
