Edit Pictures Online in Adobe Photoshop Style with Fauxto

Adobe Photoshop on the Web
Fauxto is a new player in the heavily crowded market of online photo editors but with a difference.

While the current breed of online image editing program provide tools to enhance or manipulate existing pictures inside the web browser, Fauxto lets you create new images from scratch just like you would do inside Fireworks or Photoshop.

Fauxto is done complete in Adobe Flash so once the application loads inside the web browser, subsequent actions take little or no time. And wait, did we tell you that Fauxto has layers and filter support that you generally find in expensive photo editing software.

You can open multiple images at the same time that show up as tabs making it easier to switch from one drawing to another.

The images can either be uploaded from your desktop or taken from the web directly. Just be a little careful while editing stuff in Fauxto as there's no undo option yet. Ctrl+Z won't work either. And we didn't like the annoying tagline on the output as well.

Overall, a very interesting application that is very likely to climb the popularity charts as new features are incorporated. If Adobe were to ever build a web edition of Photoshop CS2, Fauxto has already done the ground work for them.

How to Download Contacts from Facebook To Outlook Address Book

Facebook users are not too pleased with the "walled garden" approach of Facebook. The reason is simple - while you can easily import your Outlook address book and GMail contacts into Facebook, the reverse path is closed. There's no "official" way to export your Facebook friends email addresses or contact phone numbers out as a CSV file so that you can sync the contacts data with Outlook, GMail or your BlackBerry. Some third-party Facebook hacks like "Facebook Sync" (for Mac) and "Facebook Downloader" (for Windows) did allow you to download your Facebook friends' names, emails, mobile phone number and profile photo to the desktop but they were quickly removed for violation of Facebook Terms of Use. How to Download Contacts from Facebook There are still some options to take Friends data outside the walls of Facebook wall. Facebook offers the Takeout option allowing you to download all Facebook data locally to the disk (include

PhishTank Detects Phishing Websites by Digg Style Voting

OpenDNS, a free service that helps anyone surf the Internet faster with a simple DNS tweak , will announce PhishTank today. PhishTank is a free public database of phishing URLs where anyone can submit their phishes via email or through the website. The submissions are verified by the other community members who then vote for the suspected site. This is such a neat idea as sites can be categorized just based on user feedback without even having to manually verify each and every submission. PhishTank employs the "feedback loop" mechanism where users will be kept updated with the status' of the phish they submit either via email alerts or a personal RSS feed . Naturally, once the PhishTank databases grows, other sites can harness the data using open APIs which will remain free. OpenDNS would also use this data to improve their existing phishing detection algorithms which are already very impressive and efficient. PhishTank | PhishTank Blog [Thanks Allison] Related: Google
