Instagram Digital Camera [GADGETS]

Currently only a concept, but after Facebook’s $1 Billion dollar acquisition of Instagram, and designer Antonio De Rosa's brilliant mock up design and bid for funding, this might have the steam to become the 21st century’s Polaroid. If brought into production the camera would retail for $350, with contributors being promised a discount on their purchase of the final product.


Would you like to own a standalone handheld of the auto-tune of photography? You can support the project on the money-raising platform Indiegogo in order to create a real-life version of the device.

Whopper Sacrifice, Burger King's Facebook Promotion: Delete 10 Friends For Free Whopper

I think I may have 10 or so that can go...

Burger King has created an application for Facebook that allows users to delete 10 friends in exchange for a free Whopper.

Taking Klondike's "What would you do for a Klondike Bar?" motif to the next level, Burger King invites Facebook users to sacrifice 10 of their friends on the social networking site for a coupon for a free sandwich:

"What would you do for a free WHOPPPER? Now is the time to put your fair-weather web friendships to the test. Install WHOPPER Sacrifice on your Facebook profile, and we'll reward you with a free flame-broiled WHOPPER when you sacrifice 10 of your friends."

Sacrificed friends show up in a user's news feed. AdWeek offers more details on the promotion.

Some of his findings are great trivia, such as the fact that elbows, belly button lint and ceiling fans are on the list of people's top fears alongside social intimacy and rejection.

Others give an indication of people's interests or emotions, with an annual spike in searches for anti-depression drugs around Thanksgiving time in the United States.
