After watching this video on you tube I was curious, since most the comments said it did not work. I grabbed some pics that I had, and merged them on my laptop. Using the software through school, my computer was taxed. These were very large images, and I was doing it through on a network. Below are 3 of about 30.

After the images were done merging, and I had my panoramic shot, I clicked on the magic wand. The area was selected, and I clicked fill. The content aware option was checked, and I let it go to work again.

This is the final image. I was very impressed, as there were many different elements to it. The content aware feature worked well for me, and I look forward to reusing it.

Twitbird was recently updated to version 2.5. I have been using twitbird for about a year now, and have been very satisfied. The developers are always working to make theirs apps better, and ask customers lots of questions in order to achieve great success.I personally prefer the new espresso theme, but you can choose your own from a few different ones. This will be a brief, photo based, review of what I like the most.

The home screen allows for multiple identities, but since I am using the premium version I can have two.

Once inside your chosen account you will see the very familiar layout. This is an option, as you can also have it be in rows.

You have multiple options on how to read your tweets.

You can translate.

It allows for easy tweet management.

Also, you have options on how to read your links. Now, ReadItLAter, Instapaper, etc.

And finally, one of my favorite is the ease with which you can send tweets.

If you are looking for a twitter client, and don’t like the twitter app, give twitbird a try. What is your favorite client?

The other day I heard about Hulu developing and releasing a desktop application native to Mac OS X. I was immediately off to download it, and put it through a very light test. I downloaded, and mounted the image file. Inside there was the application, and a file folder with plugins. After the installation, I started the application. It was fairly fast and the GUI was nice and simple.

The initial launch has what I assume to be the show of the week, and as you can see mine was “The Listener”. I hadn’t even heard of this show, but found it very interesting.

The Menu was very simple, and easy to use. The selections cascaded and allowed for faster flow.

You also have an option for selecting the popular shows, and episodes. This was the route I took, and selected a show.

After the choice it allows for watching, queueing, and recommending. I chose to watch the show.

Finally, the quality of the image was good. It was an easy to use application, and for those of us on the move its great. I enjoyed the app, and use it to keep up with my shows. It comes with 15 sec, and 30 sec commercials. The alternative is up to 20 minutes of commercials, so I will continue to use this app.
