Tom Eckert makes incredible wooden sculptures that often look just like draped cloth. He also made this awesome Tank Chair. From the images of his tromp l'oeil sculptures, you would never know that that satin is actually carved and sanded from wood.

Sony Online Entertainment has launched the beta sign up website for their upcoming family-friendly MMO Free Realms, and being an MMO that's trying to draw in a whole new audience to the genre, SOE of course has to do a little hand-holding when explaining the whole beta process. This leads directly to the image seen here, which clearly shows us what a bug is. Honestly I think I am far more inclined to play an ...

Vous avez sans doute remarqué l’ascension de la vidéo sur le web depuis quelques années. Il est plus facile que jamais aujourd’hui de consommer de la vidéo en ligne. Malgré tout, il est difficile encore de ne pas avoir recours au téléchargement «illégal» de nos émissions préférés lorsqu’aucune alternative à la télévision n’est offerte sur le web. Par contre, il existe une panoplie de contenu indépendant, tant du côté anglophone que francophone, qui n’attendent qu’à ...

A while back, Sharninder took you through Gmail Labs and some of the cool features that they were offering Gmail users. Well the other day, they brought out another new feature and this is one that I will personally find really useful as Make Use Of editor - “canned responses”. I’m sure if you do a lot of emailing, you will find it really useful too. “Canned responses” is a feature which allows you to ...

OtherInbox claims to be “the cure for email overload.” I’ve been part of the beta test for a few weeks now and I simply love it. Instead of giving you a single email address, OtherInbox gives you the ability to create multiple addresses in your own subdomain (myusername.otheri...). These addresses can be used to sign up anywhere. The service officially supports Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and (for those of you stuck at work) Internet Explorer. Example ...

Here at Make Use Of, we’re big fans of Gmail and use it all the time. We love the interface, the features and above all, It just works. But, as with all software, there is room for improvement and although Google has been adding features to Gmail at a dizzying pace, there’s only so much they can do, without breaking up the thing for a whole bunch of users. And that is where Gmail Labs ...

I have dealt with my fair share of Outlook failures in the corporate and home environments. A lot of people don’t know about the Outlook 2GB PST limit in some older versions of Outlook and it causes havoc when it hits. You can send email just fine and even receive small messages. If you delete some messages you can get some more - but there is not any warning or errors associated with this. So ...

I have used many different email addresses in my 10+ years on the Internets. I started with a email address from Brooklyn College, moved on to Hotmail and then several custom domains. I would ping-pong between different corporate emails and amusingly geeky personal ones. But being an Admin by profession I have kept all my craptastic forwards geektacular jokes “Historical Emails”. I have folders with email messages dating back to 1996. Now I try and ...
