www.stolencamerafinder.com

www.stolencamerafinder.com is one of those innovative sites that does that one specific little thing that you are looking for. The website does exactly what the url says. However, I'm not sure how well it does it, because I've not lost my camera, but it would be worth a shot to anyone who has lost a camera. I must say that I tried a couple of pictures from 2 different cameras which didn't return any results - which is disappointing since I've uploaded pictures onto imgur and other picture sharing websites. Theoretically, it should have returned those results at the very least. Anyway it's worth a shot for those who have lost cameras.

New Yahoo Mail (Beta)

So Yahoo launched their new yahoo mail (Beta) which I switched to today....and then switched back for 2 crucial reasons. The new layout had a much thicker header taking up much more screen real estate than the current layout. This is a huge blunder and problem that yahoo MUST fix before releasing the new version. I for one will not switch unless the header is brought back to the current size. The second reason was that the inbox has gone back to page views. While in the current mail layout just scrolling down will load the older email as you scroll, the new layout has gone back to the even older yahoo mail where the inbox was divided into pages of 20, 50, or 100 emails. I find this an unnecessary return to older design principles which are less user-friendly. While Yahoo mail is still props over Gmail through the use of tabs, these new backward features will set the mail service behind once more.
