The co-founders of Twitter are currently discussing ways to integrate video tweets in their service. This would enable people with video capable mobile phones to upload clips to their profiles. However this would consume a large amount of bandwidth which Twitter is struggling to deal with already.
There are are a couple of third party video websites that have this type of feature already such as Twideo and Tweetube. But these two video websites have not gained as much traction as the Twitter photo-sharing third party website TwitPic.

Adobe Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:ADBE) announced on Friday that they are making a Photoshop application for the Apple iPhone. This will allow people to edit camera photos and online Photoshop.com photos on their iPhone. The Photoshop application will be free.
Tools on the app will have cropping, image rotation, one-touch filtering, and color control. There will also be re-do and undo options. When the photos are done being touched up, they can be re-uploaded to the Photoshop.com account and can also be saved on the phone.
The application is all gesture-based meaning that it depends heavily on the swipes of your fingers. Below are a couple screenshots of the application.

For an experiment that simulates miniature black holes, I think that the biggest concern in our minds would be that it had better not fall in the wrong hands.
An unnamed scientist working for the Large Hadron Collider project in Switzerland was arrested for being connected to Al-Qaeda. The arrest was made by French police at the town of Vienne earlier this week. The arrested man worked at the Hadron Collider since 2003. Supposedly the arrested man had even made suggestions on French targets.
After the arrest was made, the European Nuclear Physics Organization (CERN) stated “none of [their] research has potential for military application,” and added that the arrested suspect “had no contact with anything that could have been used for terrorism.”

Many people believe that Facebook applications are losing appeal, but games made by Zynga are a major exception. Zynga has already banked on games such as Texas Hold’Em, Mafia Wars, and FarmVille. Now the social gaming company has another hit on their hands called Café World. Café World hit 10 million users in just one week.
How did Zynga do it? Cross-promotion. They linked Café World through FarmVille, a game that already has 56 million users according to AppData. Zynga has been making money by selling virtual goods in their games. Zynga will be making about $200 million in revenues this year alone according to Eric Eldon of Inside Social Games.
While Zynga is making a lot of revenues, one of the ways that they are making games is by taking ideas from others. FarmVille is considered to be a replica of FarmTown and Cafe World appears to be similar to Playfish’s Restaurant City.
Zynga is currently in a legal battle against another social gaming company called Playdom over company secrets. Four former Zynga employees are being accused for giving secrets to Playdom.
