drag2share: Pixelmator 3.2 Adds New Repair Tool, Lock Layer Support, and More

Source: http://lifehacker.com/pixelmator-3-2-adds-new-repair-tool-lock-layer-support-1580100558

Mac: Pixelmator, our pick for the best image editing software for Mac, got updated today with a few handy new features. Included in the update is a new repair tool, support for locked layers, and more.

The big improvement here is the new repair tool. It's been completely redone and now includes a few new options. The quick repair option makes it easy to remove small objects from images, the standard repair option does the same with larger objects, and the advanced tool does the same with giant objects on complex backgrounds (see above). Also included in this update is support for locking layers. It's a standard feature in image editors and it's nice to get it in Pixelmator. You'll also get new 16-bit per channel support, some interface improvements, and the ability to convert selections into shapes.

Pixelmator ($29.99) | Mac App Store

drag2share: Google is working with Ruckus Wireless to build a Wi-Fi network in the cloud

Google is working with Wi-Fi equipment maker Ruckus Wireless to build a large-scale Wi-Fi network in the cloud off of which any business could hang its wireless routers, according to a source familiar with the project who asked not to be named.

Google's plans to supply Wi-Fi services to small and medium-sized businesses was first reported by The Information on Wednesday. But I have gotten more details on what its network would look like and how it would be rolled out. Google has been working closely with Ruckus, trialing a new software-based wireless controller that virtualizes the management functions of the Wi-Fi network in the cloud, according to my source. The end result would be a nationwide — or even global — network that any business could join and any Google customer could access.

Both Google and Ruckus declined to comment.

This enormous fog bank—which embraced Lake Michigan—looks like a beautiful cotton wool tsunami moving slowly across the water. Fog banks are usually caused by fast changing temperatures and are amazing to witness, as long as you don't have to navigate through them.

I knew the apes in Dawn of the planet of the Apes are entirely made with CGI using the actors' facial expressions and body motion. Still, watching this side-by-side comparison between the motion capture work and the final VFX is still pretty amazing.
