Descriptive Camera – by Matt Richardson. A little while after pressing the camera’s button a little printer spits out a description like: “Looks like a cupboard which is ugly and old having name plates on it with a study lamp atteched to it.” How it works? The piece of art sends a picture to an Amazon service (called Mechanical Turk). Real people write the description send it back and the little printer does the rest of the work. Makes me think about using this Amazon service for a lot other cool stuff. (via Today and Tomorrow)

Moronic App Suit Today Amazon started it’s own Appstore for Android. Top 20 sales showing up stuff like The Moron Test. Apple’s reaction - to the store not to the Moron App for sure - was a lawsuit. But isn’t that what suits always do - law? If Amazon now has to change the stolen name is not my business. But what’s good here - website programming wise - millions of new services might grow around this new store due to Amazon’s nifty API.

Today Amazon started it’s own Appstore for Android. Top 20 sales showing up stuff like The Moron Test. Apple’s reaction - to the store not to the Moron App for sure - was a lawsuit. But isn’t that what suits always do - law? If Amazon now has to change the stolen name is not my business. But what’s good here - website programming wise - millions of new services might grow around this new store due to Amazon’s nifty API.
