Posted by Zach Yeskel, Product Marketing ManagerThree weeks ago we made extra storage for Gmail and Picasa Web Albums
more affordable, and now
we've partnered with Eye-Fi to make it even easier to get your photos into the cloud. Eye-Fi offers WiFi-enabled memory cards which make your existing camera wireless, so it's easy to upload photos and videos right to Picasa Web Albums or to your computer -- no cables required. For a limited time, when you
buy 200 GB of Google paid storage for $50, you'll get a free Eye-Fi card (a $95 value).

picasa.google.com/eyefi.html to get yours today, and happy holidays from the Picasa team!

The Eye-Fi card is famous for being a cool, fun way to upload, inadvertently, images of you and your friends naked or on the toilet. Now, however, you can upload those naked photos to your local FTP/FTPS server. This service allows you to bypass standard photo-sharing sites like Flickr and dump your stuff up unfettered by the limitations placed upon us by photo sites.
Here are the instructions. Happy uploading and be sure to make those images public!
This also, admittedly, allows you to run your own photo sharing service and to keep your photos completely private.

Now THIS, my friends, is a mod. An enterprising Finnish fellow has gutted a super old Mobira Talkman cell phone kit and installed a home theater PC inside of it. That’s impressive, yes, but what’s more impressive is that he fit a USB hub, Wi-Fi card, sound card, and a 128×128 OLED screen into the handset. Oh, and it works for VOIP calls to boot.
The project took about 40 hours to complete, so you could conceivably build something similar over a caffeine- and nicotine-infused weekend. You’d have to then take a few days off to actually enjoy the fruits of your labor, though.
Check out the full write-up at Metku.net — plenty more photos as well.
