- Pattaya City Hall confirmed today that Songkran in Pattaya will be on April 19. Beach Road will be closed for most of the day. [via Pattaya City News] Ed. If only this was all there is to it. Expect soakings in daylight hours from April 14 - 18 in Pattaya as a build up to the main event on April 19th. Don't try to drive anywhere in the inner city on April 19th as the city will be just one big gridlock of pick-up trucks loaded with water wasters.

- Completely Uninstall Programs with AppCleaner [Featured Mac Download]
Mac OS X only: Freeware application AppCleaner completely uninstall's applications from your Mac. As most of us know, the process of "uninstalling" applications on the Mac is generally as simple as trashing the application, but many programs leave behind settings and other small files that continue to take up space on your hard drive. AppCleaner identifies these files and takes them down with the application they belong to. To use it, you can either drag and drop the app you want to uninstall onto AppCleaner or click the tabs to select what you want to uninstall from the list of apps, widgets, or plug-ins AppCleaner finds.

- Web based Photoshop Express launches - As expected, Adobe has officially entered the World of online applications. Adobe is known best for their desktop software like their photo editing solutions (Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Elements, etc.), and so it makes sense that their first web-based application is a basic version of Photoshop called Photoshop Express. It has launched into beta and anybody can go give it a try and sign-up for a free account. Photoshop Express isn’t just about editing photos online, they’ve also made it a place where users can store their photos and share them with others.
We decided to test-drive Photoshop Express and overall, we were pleasantly surprised at what it offers. One of the first things we did was select a personal sharing URL. If you sign-up for an account you will get to pick a sharing URL so that you can easily give it out to friends and family to view your photos. For example, your personal sharing URL would be something like http://yourname.photoshop.com. Adobe gives each registered user 2GB of space that they can use however they please.
When uploading photos, by default they will be uploaded to your main library. You can also
have them uploaded to a new album or an existing one. We uploaded a 2.1 MB file which is a pretty typical photo size and it uploaded within just a few seconds. Once it was uploaded we decided to put the editing tools to the test. Editing tools fall under one of three categories, the Basics, Tuning, and Effects. Here’s a quick run-down of what you’ll be able to do in each category:
- Basics: crop and rotate, auto correct, fix exposure, red-eye removal, touch-up, saturation
- Tuning: white balance, highlight, fill light, sharpen, soft focus
- Effects: pop colour, hue, black and white, tint, sketch, distort
Each of the different tools that are offered are very easy to use. And if you apply an effect or make a change that you don’t like, you can easily have it removed by clicking “reset all” which takes your photo back to the original state. Once you’ve made all of the changes that you want, you just click save and all of your editing will be saved. The only downside we noticed is that saving a photo seems to take a few minutes.
With all kinds of free online photo editing solutions available, Adobe knew they needed to jump on the bandwagon. Given that Photoshop Express is their first entrance into online web applications, they’ve done a great job. We’re still partial to Picnik and the interface that they’ve developed, but Photoshop Express is a great tool for online photo editing as well.It’s impossible to cover all that it offers, so go check it out for yourself and let us know what you think! Just note that you must have Adobe Flash 9 installed, otherwise it won’t work. If you don’t have it installed, you’ll be prompted to once you visit the site. [via CyberNet]
- New Firefox Add-Ons Site Launches - Mozilla has just launched their new Firefox Add-ons site that shows off a sparkling and freshly revamped interface.
The thing that I like the most is that the add-ons in the Sandbox are actually shown with the search results regardless of whether you are logged in. They are labelled as “experimental” add-ons if they are in the Sandbox, and if you want to install them you’ll still need to login. At least users will know that the add-ons exist which was a big complaint of the extension developers that I had talked to before. It was almost discouraging for developers to create extensions since they weren’t widely available to the public right away. [via CyberNet]

- This guy owns a horse stud farm and gets a call from a friend. "I know this midget with a speech impediment who wants to buy a horse. I'm sending him over." The midget arrives, and the owner asks if he wants a male or female horse. "A female horth," the midget replies. So the owner shows him one. "Nith looking horth, can I thee her mouth?" So the owner picks up the midget and shows him the horse's mouth. "Nith mouth. Can I thee her eyesth?" So the owner picks up the midget and shows the eyes. "Ok, what about her earth?" Now the owner is getting pissed, but he picks up the midget one more time and shows the ears. "OK, finally, I'd like to thee her twat." With that, the owner picks up the midget and shoves his head up the horse's canal then pulls him out. Shaking his head, the midget says, "perhapth I should rephwase. I'd wike to thee her run!"
