CSSPrism: Slick New Site For Editing Your Site’s Theme

Developers working with template site designs often have several CSS files to wrangle — one for the basic layout elements and others with site-specific rules. Sometimes all you need to do to create a new site is change the color scheme, but how do you find all the different color declarations in a large CSS file?

Well, now you don’t have to because developer Ryan Berg created a fantastic little tool named CSSPrism. CSSPrism takes a stylesheet URL and then scans through and displays all the hex colors from the file.

CSSPrism uses the very slick jQuery color picker to make editing your color scheme a snap. You can even export the results as a new stylesheet and drop it into your site. There’s also a handy bookmarklet that will insert links to any site’s linked CSS files just inside the body tag.

As some have already pointed out, the Firefox Web Developer add-on offers similar features in its Information menu (try the View Color Information option), but Berg’s tool has the added color picker and export features that make it well worth a visit.

Head on over to CSSPrism and give it a try. One thing to keep in mind — currently CSSPrism doesn’t do well with compressed stylesheets, so if you have a single line, compressed CSS file you’ll have to feed the source copy through CSSPrism to see the results.

Google Earth Lands on the Moon

Monday, July 20 is the fortieth anniversary of the first manned moon landing. Google has chosen to mark the occassion by releasing a new set of maps for Google Earth that let you browse the surface of the moon.

Google Earth is free software. You’ll need the latest version to explore the moon, so if you don’t already have Google Earth 5.0, download it now. If you already have 5.0, no upgrade is required.

To access the new moon maps, go to the little planet icon drop-down in the Google Earth toolbar and select “Moon.” You’ll notice there are also selectors for Sky and Mars — these are previous enhancements to Google Earth that are also available. Users of Google Maps have also been able to explore the moon, the night sky and Mars in a web browser for some time.

Some awesome metadata comes with Google Earth’s moon maps that makes it worth the download, though. There are interactive tours of the moon’s various sights narrated by Apollo astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Jack Schmitt, 360-degree photo-montages of landing sites, clips from televised footage of the various Apollo missions and overlays of the training maps used by the astronauts. The are also 3-D models of the moon’s terrain, complete with models of the landers, probes, rovers and other artifacts left by humans.

Check out this video featuring Apollo 17 astronaut Jack Schmitt that shows off some of the enhancements.

Mozilla Considers Copying Elements of Chrome For Firefox 4.0

Just a few days after teasing Firefox fans with mockups and design changes for the coming Firefox 3.7, Mozilla is back with more ideas for Firefox 4.0.

As the Mozilla wiki notes, these are merely sketches of what Firefox 4.0 might look like. The point is to throw some ideas against the wall and see what sticks. So far it looks like Mozilla could have a bit of Chrome envy — one of the proposals uses the same tabs-on-top look that Google pioneered with its Chrome browser.

Couple that with the plans to isolate each tab to its own process and Firefox is starting to sound (and possibly look) a bit like Google Chrome. Protected tabs are definitely a good thing (a single page won’t crash your whole browser), but, judging by the discussion on the Mozilla wiki, the tabs-on-top design is somewhat more controversial. Keeping tabs below the menu bar for the default theme and offering an advanced option to move them to the top strikes us as a good compromise.

Other ideas in the screenshot mockups include consolidating the Stop, Refresh, and Go buttons into a single button on the right side of the URL bar. The idea is to save space in the toolbar and to make the button contextual — when you type in the URL bar it would turn green and be a Go button, when the page is loading it changes to a Stop button and when the page is done it would become a refresh button.

The three-in-one button on the right is pretty similar to Safari 4, though the Mozilla mockup makes it much more clearly a button than what Safari offers.

As with the earlier screenshots, the mockups are limited to Windows themes; there’s no hint of what Firefox 4 might look like in Mac OS X or Linux. But fear not Firefox fans, there’s still plenty of time before Firefox 4.0 arrives.

This is Imposible?

YouTube EDU Brings Free Education to the Masses

YouTube has just released a new sub-site called YouTube EDU, aggregating thousands of free lectures from over a hundred universities across the country, including MIT, Yale, Harvard, Stanford, and oh-so-many more.



On Tuesday we highlighted another similar application that we described as Hulu for academic lectures called Academic Earth, and just two days later, here comes YouTube EDU. It's incredible to see such great options for folks looking for some free education.



The two services are very similar in some ways, and while YouTube's landing page isn't quite as useful as Academic Earth's, they're both packed full of great content. Head to the Directory page to browse through all the university options, and when you pick one, you can see all of the full courses or individual lectures available. According to weblog Open Culture, YouTube EDU currently has over 200 full courses, so you're bound to find something that piques your interest—like MIT's Introductory Quantum Mechanics II.

It's really exciting to see the web embrace and distribute all this free learning, and we're eager to see both services grow.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled

There are a couple of things you should immediately know about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. First, Leonardo leads and Donatello does machines. Also, Raphael is cool but rude, and Michelangelo is a party dude. With that out of the way, all of the turtles are back in this remake of the classic arcade game, Turtles in Time, and it's not just a retro port with some HD filters. The game has received a full-on 3D overhaul, so all of the environments, turtles, enemies, and bosses are rendered in slick 3D splendor, and the two levels we saw (Alley Cat Blues and Skull and Crossbones) looked great.

But this move into three dimensions has also brought some slight changes to the gameplay. In fact, the most noticeable difference between Turtles in Time Re-Shelled and the original, aside from the graphics, is that the turtles' (and the enemies') ability to execute attacks in a three-dimensional plane is now more pronounced. In the original game, all of the characters had sort of a contact bubble around them, so you didn't have to be on the same line as an enemy to attack him, but in Re-Shelled, this bubble doesn't exist (or it isn't necessary), so if you're standing directly below a foot soldier, you can still hit it by pressing up on the controller. It's a little difficult to explain, but fans of the original game will notice the difference.

As far as the rest of the gameplay goes, Re-Shelled has everything from the original. Leonardo and the rest of the crew still have standard attacks, one special attack, the shoulder block, and the ability to slam enemies on the ground and throw them into the screen. It's worth mentioning that we couldn't quite get the screen throw to work as easily as it does in the Super Nintendo version of the game, but that's probably because Re-Shelled is based on the arcade version.

Some of the bosses are different from those in the Super Nintendo version, and there's also one level in the Super Nintendo version that didn't appear in the arcade version (it took place inside the Technodrome). Also of note, it has yet to be determined what's going to happen with the music, whether it will be stripped from the original or remixed. At any rate, we're excited that Turtles in Time is getting revamped, and we can't wait to see how the Neon Night Riders level looks and to try out the four-player cooperative mode. Look for the game to hit Xbox Live Arcade on July 22.

The 15 Craziest Cell Phone Accessories Ever

1. Aura Sensing Phone Strap

Solid Alliance has developed a new phone accessory, an aura sensing phone strap. The accessory, dubbed "aura tama" strap or aura ball strap, claims to be able to sensor the user's aura and changes to one of eight different colors depending on the energy the person is omitting. The aura-tama will be packaged with one of three "power stones”: crystal, rose quarts or amethyst.

2. Cell Phone Sexy Lingerie

Want some sexy underwear as your cell phone straps? I bet only girls would dare to buy and use it… some weird old man might buy it for personal collection though. (Source)



3. Cigarette Holder Phone

In order to appeal to billions of smokers in China, a company has brought out this ultimate cigarette phone. Not only does it look like a pack of cigarettes (the exact size and the exact warning labels concerning health), it actually holds half a pack of REAL cigarettes on the back. All you need to do is to slide open the battery cover and you're set to make new friends. The phone itself runs on dualband GSM, takes microSD cards, plays MP3, has a color screen and a VGA camera on the side. For $175 you will get a whole luxurious VIP kit with the phone, a pack of Chonghwa branded cigarettes as well as a lighter. (Source)

4. Mobile Phone Telescope

You are a Paparazzi and are just see Victoria Beckham walking on the other side of the street. But you do not have your trusty SLR camera with you only your camera phone. Good thing to have in this situation is the 6X Telescope lens for mobile phones. As you have to exchange the back-shell of your mobile phone with the one bundled to be able to mount the lens, it is not going to work with all mobile phones. Only Nokia 6230 and 6680 mobile camera phones are supported at this moment. Brando sells the Mobile Phone telescope lens for only $19.00 (Source)


5. Hot Vision Video Goggles

Surely a front runner in the “Most Likely to Cause Severe Retinal Damage” awards, this device claims to simulate a virtual 50 inch screen by placing tiny screens very close to the user's eyes. Theoretically a solution to the irritation of watching video on a small cell phone screen, the inclusion of headphones apparently allows for some serious immersion. (Source)


6. Piece Of Shit Accessory
This accessory is self explanatory. It's a piece of shit and you can squeeze it too.


7. Cigarette Lighter Phone

If you can't go very long without a smoke pressed between your lips and your cell pressed to your ear, you might need a way to join the two mediums. Sure, we've seen the device which swears to be the ultimate smoker's phone, but where is the lighter? The SB6309 Cigarette Lighter Phone includes a lighter in its ingeniously deadly design. Slip the protective cover back and flick the lighter button. Soon enough, you be flaming mon. (Source)


8. Backup Pal

Most of the people living in modern society rely on hi-tech severely. You don't have to remember any phone number, because you can find it from your cell phone easily. However, what if you lost your cell phone? It might that all your friends will be lost forever. I'm not alarmist, but it is true. Sure, you can back up your contacts with your computer, but it is a little bit complex. So I bet you need this backup pal. Just connect your cell phone with this cute gadget and then press the button, all the contacts will be backup. (Source)


9. Wind Chime For Cell Phone
Wind chimes and cell phones seem to be unrelated to each other, but no, this chine definitely is : It will tell you with the charm ringtone every time you have a call.




10. Bluetooth Bracelet

This gadget, shown in a rather charming pink, vibrates and displays the name or number of a caller on an OLED screen when a call is received. Probably the most useful product on this list. While this may seem like a strange product at first, imagine the alternative applications of this technology away from bracelets. As cell phones become more general purpose appliances, the number of uses for a device like this increases exponentially. Imagine a device like this sewn into the sleeve of a shirt, wearable computing is said to be a growing technology and this is surely a forerunner. (Source)


11. Flash Pet Tree

Pioneering a new era of mobile horticulture, the Flash Pet Tree is a jar that combines the flashing function of some cell phone charms with the unparalleled excitement of watching a plant grow. Slowly. The perplexing thing about this product is the sheer pointlessness of it. The futility of a plant in a hermetically sealed container is almost enough to cause an existential crisis for this writer, which is not something one wishes to occur on receipt of a phone call. The sales website promises ‘the fun of raising plants, the scents of joy' as well as to ‘help busy people of our times be in touch with nature'. Indeed.


12. Seat Belt Mounted Phone Holder

Using a phone while driving usually means taking one hand off the wheel to scramble around for your phone when it rings. Luckily an inventor has solved this tricky problem by creating a £5 holster that fastens your phone right to the seatbelt in front of you. (Source)


13. Flashing Cell Phone Pen

Have you gotten in the habit of tuning out your cell phone's vibrating ring to the point where you're often missing your calls? You can avoid that problem by attaching this cell phone pen which is equipped with LED lights that flash when you're getting a call. It's a functional pen that doesn't even need to be attached to the phone to know that you've got a call coming in, although you do have to be within three feet of the phone for the pen to work. (Source)


14. Garter Belt Cell Phone Strap

Cell phone straps are a conversation all their own with strange ones coming out all the time but here’s one that’s designed to be more sexy than strange. That’s because it doubles as a garter belt. Folks that think garter belts just aren’t functional might be more turned on by this cell phone strap that carries a pouch which holds your re-usable chopsticks.(Source)


15. Phone Tattoos

People put tattoos on their bodies in order to tell the world something about who they are. Since your cell phone is practically an extension of your right hand, maybe you should think about tattooing it with the message or image that you want the world to be impressed by. You can buy stock photos for these tattoos but the creative person will design their own image on their computers and print it out onto blank tattoos. These are basically just stickers that then get put on to your phone. It’s a way to personalize your cell phone and share a little bit more of yourself with the world.

10 Craziest PC Case Mods

Nowadays, a computer is indispensable in our homes, but don’t you think they all look about the same? It would be nice to have something special, a PC like no other, therefore there are many people who try to create their own design for a computer and the first thing that you should change is the PC case. There are many great, cool, impressive and genuine ideas, but today we’ll bring you 10 Craziest PC Case Mods.

#10. Dialup

If your furniture is kind of old-fashioned and your grandma freaks out when she spots your PC, then here is the perfect solution - the Dialup PC. The PC was specially designed for online voice chatting as when someone calls you on Skype or MSN voice, you simply pick up the phone and start talking as you are using a regular phone.

#9. Atlas Mech

This scary battle-mech is called Atlas and it will destroy anybody who stands in front of him. Just kidding, but the Atlas PC case could lure away a thief because it could be mistaken with some battle machine. Inside is painted with glow in the dark paint and the UV cathodes complete the mod.

#8. Digg

I guess that this PC case doesn’t need any introduction or too many details as Digg is one of the most renowned social media website. The Digg PC case is made of 0.5? medium density fiberboard (MDF) and a few acrylic windows and also, the Digg logo looks great on blue. Although there are many other inspiration sources, the designer got his idea from the Digg community.

#7. Dashboard

What should a car fanatic’s PC should look like ? Take a look at this PC and you will find out. Of course there are more possibilities, but this one features three gauges that do work, displaying the RAM, CPU and hard drive usage. The gauges were taken from a Honda Civic Si and have an idiglo overlay lightkit. Other cool feature of the Dashboard PC is the remote control keychain that turns it on/off and ejects the CD-RW. All this PC lacks is a steering wheel and a gearshift, but this problem can be solved by getting a gaming one.

#6. R2-D2

R2-D2 is best known as a tiny droid which appeared in six Star Wars movies, but someone thought to build a PC case inspired from the clever robot. The case resembles perfectly the blue-white companion, but without that crazy beeping for talking. The R2-D2 PC case features two CD/DVD drives, a pop-up WebCam and multiple USB ports.

#5. John Deere Gas Pump

This PC case was made from a John Deere Gas Pump toy and it sure is crazy because when you pull up the gas pump the gas costs only 19 cents per gallon. The gas pump handle has the privilege to be the power button, push it forward and the John Deere Gas Pump PC is on.

#4. WMD

I am sure that most of you know what WMD means, but for those who didn’t figure it out, WMD stands for Weapon of Mass Destruction. The designer wanted to create a PC case which resembles an atomic bomb like one that he spotted in a movie. He started his project, added his own ideas and he came up with this weapon of mass destruction.

#3. Pumpkin

The Pumpkin PC was created specially for Halloween because after a while it will rust out and stink, but for a few days it will provide a creepy atmosphere. By ejecting the CD-ROM, the Pumpkin PC looks like it pulls out the tongue, but that’s not too scary.

#2. Microwave

Don’t get me wrong, but there are many people who are addicted to food and computers. It seems like somebody managed to put those together and came up with the Microwave PC. This case doesn’t cook but allows you to surf the Web and to play Solitaire or something else.

#1. Toilet

I can figure out where this guy got his idea, but I really don’t know why he even considered building it. The Toilet PC case inspired from (you guessed) a toilet is the strangest. I mean, how many of you would like to have this in your room? The toilet should stay in the bathroom and that’s it! Anyway, the “designer” also had a good idea by making the power switch from the flusher. I don’t want to know what he meant with the brown paint.
