GIMP 2.8

The GIMP is one of those applications that people seem to love or hate. While it has always been a powerful alternative and capable of large commercial applications such as Photoshop, GIMP multiple floating window interface has been difficult for some users to adapt.
 
 Good news for those of you who like the program, but simply could not adapt to the user interface: version 2.8 include a selectable single-window mode. As you can see the top model is very similar to Photoshop experience. GIMP hardcore fans do not despair. If you have been convinced that the multi-window mode is a great way to work, you do not have to change.
 
 The GIMP developers have also sought ways to manipulate the images of multiple best in the editor. Here, of course, have been added to Photoshop CS4. Do not expect to see it in GIMP 2.8, however. Peter Sikking offers three reasons in his blog after they have decided not to use tabs, opting for a container of furniture (image after the break).

Twones like Last.fm

Twones is a little late to the game, since Last.fm has become the undisputed leader of the music track, but this does not mean there is room for improvement. Currently, the site lacks the wealth of information about artists, albums, etc., and most data are from different API (artist bios from Wikipedia, the clips on YouTube, artists Last. FM etc.), so we must be very aggressive to innovate if they want to see a widespread adoption.

Twones is currently in an invitation-only beta, but we have thousands of Lifehacker invites interested readers to try.

Twitter VS Gmail

Twitter is filled with posts # Gmail and although there are relatively few ads on Facebook for him too. What does this mean? Probably means that we will see a story about it on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and in an hour or two. What this event, and will probably be resolved by the time later, he shows how dependent we are on the email in our daily lives. Perhaps the most affected by this interruption will be small businesses who use Gmail for business as a way to reduce costs. I never thought it was a particularly good idea, given that Google has no way for consumers to contact technical support. They have a forum, you can search through the answers, if the answer is not there ... you may be out of luck.

Ultimately, this will happen. It's not like Google will dump Gmail for this reason. In two hours, even minutes, Gmail is back up and running and everyone can restore calm. Those who panicked and Twitter posts full of complaints about the service will be able to look back with emotion at this time as another opportunity, where services like Twitter became useful again - but not for long.
