This could prove useful for all sorts of nifty things…
I’m a big fan of the Charlie Rose interview show on public television. Charlie Rose has a knack for drawing people out, getting them to share their ideas and views in a way that illuminates. But did you ever stop to think that the only people who appear on his show are celebrities? And that 99 percent of the interesting people in this world are not celebrities?
So who’s going to interview all those people? Answer: the people will interview the people. What tool will they use to do this? Skype. How will these interviews be shared? Over the Internet, via public access television stations, via podcasting and via various computer media.

GIMPshop
With this you can make Gimp (a free powerful photo editing program) look more like the popular Photoshop. As a PS user myself, I have had a hard time using Gimp because the buttons are just in the wrong places! This pretty much solves that problem. It runs just fine on my G4 500MHz Beige FrankenMac.
More Portable Burners
This could be handy if you don’t want to lug a laptop around. A little bit more secure too, if your dumping your images off to an iPod or a laptop that would make a better teaget than some CDs in your luggage. Now you might have a problem going through customs in some countries with burned CDs. You might have to prove that its just holiday snaps and not the latest OS and Office suite from Microsoft that you bought in a mall shop for $5US.
DISPY 2 is an interesting solution to record (without using a PC) the contents of memory cards (CF type 1 and 2, SD, MMC, miniSD, smart memory, MemoryStick DUO and MemoryStick) onto a CD-R/RW…
USB Ghost Detector
Hummm… Ok, sure… I think it will do a better job of detecting if the desk fan is turned on rather than if there is a specter, spook, or a free form aperation in your room.
in addition to having a capacity of up to 512MB, features a magnetic field sensor, people-detecting sensors, and a biological clock. When the unit detects a ghost, a certain pattern will shine on the LED display.

WASP Drone
I remember some guys at ASU working on these. I doubt these will be ending up at the army surplus store any time soon, but maybe someone will take some off the shelf parts and build up a nice little toy for under the Christmas tree. It would be a nifty tool for finding a good place to set up the tent or to find someone if they have wondered off.
“The Wasp has two cameras — one forward and one aft — that collect and feed live video or other information. It’s designed to follow a programmed or relayed route using Global Positioning System waypoints or other navigational systems,” C4ISR Journal says.
