The Berg: The biggest artificial mountain in the world
While big and wealthy cities in many parts of the world challenge the limits of possibility by building gigantic hotels with fancy shapes, erecting sky-high offce towers or constructing hovering philharmonic temples, Berlin sets up a decent mountain. Its peak exceeds 1000 metres and is covered with snow from September to March…
Hamburg, as stiff as fat, turns green with envy, rich and once proud Munich starts to feel ashamed of its distant Alp-panorama and planners of the Middle-East, experienced in taking the spell off any kind of architectural utopia immediately design authentic copies of the iconic Berlin-Mountain. Tempelhof no longer only is on Berliners’ minds: People come in focks to – not to see the mountain. Thus,
Come and see The Berg!
Pixlr, Online Powerful Photo Editor
Pixlr Editor is a relatively advanced and powerful free online image editor. There are quite a few different free online image editors available and this can make it difficult for users to decide which is right for them. To an extent, most of these web applications fall into two broad groups.
The first group are for casual users looking for a straightforward way to improve their digital photos before sharing them and Pixlr Express is an example of such an application. Pixlr Editor, however, falls into the second group and these look like fully fledged pixel based image editors that run in a web browser. Anyone who has ever used Adobe Photoshop will feel very comfortable using Pixlr Editor, though there are some idiosyncrasies that can disrupt the flow a little.
Highlights of Pixlr Editor
Pixlr Editor is a good looking free online image editor with a number of attractive features.
Pixlr Editor really would be an excellent choice for experienced users who haven't got access to a computer with a pixel-based image editor already installed. Rather than downloading software, Pixlr Editor allows users to access a host of powerful image editing features from any computer with an internet connection. While a professional wouldn't want to rely on such a service full time, in some circumstances, it could be an invaluable fallback.
While less experienced users might be better off with Pixlr Express or Picnik, this would offer a natural progression for users of those less powerful free online image editors who wish to develop further. It also has an advantage over Pixlr Express in that it can save files online which makes it a much more flexible tool when working on other people's computers. When saved online, users are given a URL for the image at the imm.io website, which they can share with friends or even clients.
Some Limitations of Pixlr Editor
Obviously, being a web application, you do need a reliable internet connection to use this free online image editor and slow connections may be problematic if you need to work on relatively large photos.
Though Pixlr Editor does save images online, it doesn't allow images to be saved directly to any of the popular photo sharing and social networking websites. While it isn't a complex job to copy the file from imm.io and add it manually to whichever site a user wants, it would just make life easier if this could all be done from within Pixlr Editor.
I also discovered that Layer Masks didn't work quite as I'd expect. Rather than painting with black and white to edit a mask, you paint and erase. It's a minor point, but you should perhaps expect to occasionally encounter features that work slightly differently to your norm. However if you use this free online image editor regularly, you'll become familiar with such aspects and appreciate the overall power of the application.
Help and Support
Just as you'd expect in a pixel based image editor, in the Menu bar of Pixlr Editor is a Help menu which gives one click access to the full help documentation and FAQs. At the time of writing, there are a few topics that haven't been completed, but these are the minority and the information that is available should help users to conquer any difficulties that they encounter. There are also a couple of tutorials available, though hopefully this section will also be expanded with time.

F-16 Fighter Jet Crashes On Runway [VIDEO]
An F-16 fighter jet ran off the end of a runway and crashed at the EAA AirVenture convention in Oshkosh, Wisconsin on Friday.
The lucky Alabama Air Guard pilot wasn’t injured, but it looks like that $20 million F-16 Fighting Falcon might need a serious overhaul.
The cause of the crash is unknown, but it appears that for some reason the pilot simply ran out of runway. As you can see, after a few tense seconds the pilot exited the aircraft and jogged away to safety. He was taken away in an ambulance and found to be unhurt.
An Air Force team has begun an investigation into the cause of the accident.
EAA AirVenture, originally known as the Experimental Aircraft Association’s Fly-In Convention, is an annual event in Wisconsin, billed as “the world’s greatest aviation celebration.”

Nintendo 3DS early adopters get 20 free games with updated multiplayer
After Nintendo dropped the price of the 3DS by over 30% earlier this week, the company announced a program to reward consumers that purchase the 3D device before the price drop on August 12. If a consumer connects to the Nintendo eShop before 11:59pm Eastern time on August 11, they will automatically be qualified for the Ambassador program. This initiative rewards Nintendo 3DS owners with ten free NES Virtual Console games as well as ten GameBoy Advance titles that Nintendo isn’t planned to release to the public. Five of the NES games include The Legend of Zelda, Balloon Fight, Donkey Kong Jr., Ice Climber and Super Mario Bros. The GBA games include Mario vs. Donkey Kong, Metroid Fusion, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Yoshi’s Island: Super Mario Advance 3 and WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame.
Other games will be announced later in the year. Further details indicate that these games will be in 2D, however upgrades will be made to the titles when they become available to the public. New features may include multiplayer modes and 3D visuals. 3DS Ambassadors can download the updates to the titles at no extra cost. It’s unclear if Nintendo plans to schedule weekly releases on the 3DS eShop of its extensive library of classic titles. Nintendo has been releasing titles weekly on the Nintendo Wii.
The price of the Nintendo 3DS is also dropping in Europe and Japan this year, however the main reason for the drop was poor North American sales due to a lackluster lineup of titles. Nintendo has made strides with the 3DS as of late with the release of Nintendo Video, a video delivery system to provide 3D video downloads, and Netflix support. However, the lackluster lineup of titles is often the main complaint from consumers. Nintendo is hoping to impress consumers with the release of several high profile titles this year including Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D Land, Kid Icarus: Uprising and Star Fox 64 3D.

Google tablets seen overtaking iPad in 5 years
Informa said it expects Apple's current 75 percent market share to fall to 39 percent in 2015, when Android market share will grow to 38 percent.
"From 2013, as cheaper and more advanced Android tablets enter the market, we forecast that sales will pick up considerably, eventually surpassing iPad sales in 2016," analyst David McQueen said in a statement on Wednesday.
Samsung Electronics Galaxy Tab has been the best-selling Android tablet so far, but also other vendors including Motorola Mobility use it on their devices.
"We have seen a huge explosion in the tablet market in recent years, driven primarily by the iPad, and we estimate that the market will go from strength to strength, growing from under 20 million tablets sold in 2010, to over 230 million in 2015," McQueen said.

Gamers don’t need an iPad 2 with these five Android tablets
We all know what kind of powerhouse device the iPad 2 is for gaming. But what about other possibilities? Can any of the dozens of tablets powered by Google’s Android operating system go up against the iPad 2 in a free-for-all deathmatch? Here are five worthy options you should consider tapping into.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
The Galaxy Tab 10.1 is about as effectively close to an iPad 2 as you can get right now without purchasing anything from Apple. The tablet is comparable to the iPad 2 in just about every way – in fact Samsung is claiming that Apple is infringing on patented technology. The Galaxy’s price points are the same as the iPad 2’s (most retail outlets sell the 16GB version for $499), and it sports a 1Ghz Tegra 2 dual-core processor. This means it packs the necessary power to really give games their due. The chink in the Galaxy’s armor (which is the case for all Android tabs) is that there aren’t as many games compatible with it yet. This is changing as more consumers are embracing tablet alternatives to the iPad 2, giving developers more incentive to build titles for Android’s Honeycomb platform. Already, popular titles like Angry Birds, Gun Bros, and Fruit Ninja have tablet-specific versions available to download.HTC Flyer
The HTC Flyer ($499.99 for 16GB model) is smaller than the other tablet offerings on this list, at 7 inches, and it has a slightly better processor than most with the 1.5GHz Snapdragon. However, it runs on Android’s Gingerbread software with a stylus rather than Honeycomb, like most contenders. But while the Flyer is a strong alternative in its own right because of its hardware and battery life, it has one thing going for it above all the other tablets (right now): OnLive support. The streaming PC gaming service will support the Flyer when it releases its Android mobile app later this year, which will allow users to actually play full PC games on their Flyers using a universal gamepad. So far, the list of compatible tablets is pretty short, and any tablet that’s capable of playing full-release PC games using only an Internet connection is head and shoulders above its competition.Motorola Xoom
A solid choice in Android tablets, the Xoom (Wi-Fi only version priced at $499) is pretty similar to most offerings on the market and has the hardware to be a solid gaming choice. It sports a 1GHz NVIDIA Tegra-2 processor, which means it’s in good shape to handle games, and the tab features microSD card and micro-USB slots to allow users to expand memory and use peripheral devices. That means it can be easily loaded up with Android apps and other gaming-oriented media. Although the Xoom is slightly heavier than the iPad 2, it is also a touch smaller. Most notably, the Xoom has great battery life so it’ll keep you entertained between charges.T-Mobile G Slate
This slick tab has a lot of features you would expect from an Android device, like its Tegra-2 processor and high battery life. But the T-Mobile G Slate ($399 with a two year contract) stands out from the crowd for two reasons. First, it’s a 4G device, so if you’re the kind of person who likes online gaming wherever you are, you’ll have blistering speeds to help you win matches. The G Slate also has a 3-D camera on board and is capable of 3-D viewing and playback. It is an underdeveloped feature right now, but there’s potential in the fact that developers could run with 3-D technology and expand the tablet’s capabilities to the gaming sphere. That’s something of a big “if,” but 4G connection speed is probably more than enough to cover for 3-D for players serious about being the best gunslinger on the Internet.Asus Eee Pad Transformer
PC gamers will find something to love about the Asus Eee Pad Transformer ($399 FOR 16 GB, $499 for 32 GB), because the “Transformer” part of the title refers to the tablet’s ability to switch freely between tab and laptop. A snap-on keyboard dock allows the Transformer to become more akin to a laptop, and that makes the keyboard available for use to control some games instead of using the touch screen, gestures or virtual controls. Keyboard control isn’t ideal for everybody, but avid PC gamers will feel right at home with this brand of control and it gives the Eee pad somewhere to rest as well as additional battery life. The Transformer also has USB and SD slots to expand memory and allow the use of peripheral devices. It is a lot more like a netbook than a simple tablet, which is a good thing.
