Google release a new option on its homepage, customizable user backgrounds. The added feature has only gone live in a few countries, starting with United States, and will continue to roll out in more countries in the coming days.
The new feature on Google allows users to add their own...
Quite a few of you use Gmail's custom "From:" to send messages with one of your other email addresses listed in place of your Gmail address. Since these messages are sent by Gmail's servers but "from" a non-Gmail address, we have to include your original Gmail username in the "Sender" field of the message header to comply with mail delivery protocols and help prevent your mail from being marked as spam. Most email programs just display the "From" address and not the "Sender" field, but some (including versions of Microsoft Outlook) show these messages as coming "From username@gmail.com On Behalf Of customaddress@mydomain.com" which really annoyed people. We heard your request for another option that wouldn't show the "on behalf of" text loud and clear, and now there's a new option that does just that. Instead of using Gmail's servers to send the message, we'll use the servers where your other email address lives. Since Gmail isn't the originating domain, we don't have to include "Sender" info in the header. No more "on behalf of." Here's the difference. All custom "From:" addresses used to work like this:  Now, if your other email provider supports POP and/or IMAP access, you can choose to send your message like this instead:  To switch to this new method, go to the Accounts page under Settings, and click "edit info" from the "Send mail as" section. Then choose the option to "Use your other email provider's SMTP servers." We recognize that your other address might not have a server that you can use to send outbound messages — for example, if you use a forwarding alias rather than an actual mailbox, or if your other email provider doesn't support authenticated SMTP, or restricts access to specific IP ranges. For this reason, we've kept the original method as well. Check out our Help Center for further details on these two "send mail as" configuration options. If you use Google Apps Premier or Education edition and would like to send mail as another address within your domain or within an aliased domain, no sweat. We do all the work behind the scenes so your original username won't be listed in the "Sender" header, and your recipients won't see "on behalf of." 
Sega Toys Japan yesterday unveiled the Uchiagehanabi, a device that brings fireworks indoors. And it’s not only the visuals but also the corresponding sounds (shots, explosions etc.) you get in your very home. The device uses the wall or a ceiling as a backdrop for projecting fireworks patterns. Sega Toys says that some of the images are as wide as 1.5m, and users can even create remixes of their favorite patterns to get personalized fireworks displays. It’s also possible to “draw” patterns by yourself and let the Uchiagehanabi project them onto your living room wall.
The device comes pre-installed with 55 patterns of various sizes and colors, and users can “program” the Uchiagehanabi in various ways to create fireworks displays (there are 5 customizable projection lenses). The projector is Japan-only (available starting August 1), but the Japan Trend Shop already lets you pre-order it for $168. Two things are fair regarding this offer: The device will retail over here for almost the same price and the shop lets you pre-order without you having to pay upfront. They will send you an email once the projector is available and then you can decide again if you want to buy it or not (this is a new option introduced by the shop today). Watch the fireworks projector in action in the video below. Via Kaden Watch [JP]
