First Look: SodaSnap Instant Postcards
Missing iCards? Well, SodaSnap hopes to fill the missing hole with their postcards for the iPhone. “SodaSnap Instant Postcards” is a a free application that does just that: creates postcards on-the-go.
Just shoot a picture with your iPhone and SodaSnap lets you send it off as an e-mail postcard. You can choose a picture that is saved in your “Photos” library which allow folks with an iPod touch in on the fun.
The best part of this iPhone application is that it just works, all without creating a pesky account with some company you’ve never heard of. That being said, your message is clearly passed through SodaSnap’s servers, so you might want to be careful of what you write (such as personal information, etc.). SodaSnap provides great access to the address book for picking recipients. Overall, this is a fun application and the results are pretty good for a free application.
SodaSnap Instant Postcards is a free download from the iTunes App Store. Get a detailed look at SodaSnap before downloading by looking at our gallery of screenshots.

Laptops Banned as Politicians Play Games, View “Pictures”
Laptops have been banned at the Bhutan parliament because, according to the speaker of their national assembly, “the members can be distracted playing games and viewing pictures.”
Apparently, Bhutanese politicians are addicted to computer gaming and “pictures,” whatever that may be. They have protested, arguing that laptops are more convenient than carrying around bundles of papers, but they would have to go back to the porn mags and real poker cards.

Mac 101: Taking PhotoBooth pictures without flash, count-down
We love the quick tips that Tekzilla brings everyday. The other day they showed off a tip that we just couldn’t turn down spreading. When you’re in PhotoBooth you can use two key combos to either turn off the flash or temporarily disable the count-down.
Hold down the shift key when you press the take picture button and your picture will be taken without using the flash. If you hold down the option key when you press the take picture button your picture will be taken without using the count-down delay. If you hold down both the shift and options keys, your picture will be taken immediately and without the flash. revision3
