"Armies of mobile cubes could temporarily repair bridges or buildings during emergencies, or raise and reconfigure scaffolding for building projects. They could assemble into different types of furniture or heavy equipment as needed. And they could swarm into environments hostile or inaccessible to humans, diagnose problems, and reorganize themselves to provide solutions."

This is simply insanely cool. I doubt it would work for all those applications at the moment, but nevertheless it's awesome. Also, a potentional step towards nanorobots that could become a larger robot or something along these lines?

Thanks man, I think I may just do that this weekend.

The picture is actually an included feature on my Nexus 4. Sadly, I don't think there is any other phones apart from the Nexus phones with this abillity. However, you could do it manually! To put it short: Use a tripod, take enough photos to get a 360° panorama. Then you need Photoshop, and there's an option there to make a planet effect like this.

Here is a guide I found! Seems to do the trick. The result will probably be even better.

You guys have created so many great things. Recently I've created.. uh... about nothing. I built a computer for some guy, worked on my website and aside from school I've hardly done anything. I have nothing amazing to share.

I took this photo of my school though. Some things may be misplaced, haven't bothered to go into photoshop to fix it yet.

I should probably do something about this. I've been wanting to write some short stories for a while, and maybe start a tech channel on YouTube.

SmartVideo for YouTube. Definitely improves the experience, and I can finally watch 720p because of it. Videos don't stop buffering when you pause. Lots of options. Firefox version available as well.

HTTPS everywhere. A must if you go on public networks sometimes, makes sure sites that offer HTTPS have them enabled, so people can't sniff your data.

Hover Free. Hover your mouse over a picture or direct link to see it in fullsize. Super useful for Facebook and websites like reddit.

HerpDerp for YouTube. While the name is silly, it has made YouTube a lot more tolerable for me. Turns all comments into herps and derps until you click them.

AdBlock, obviously. Just remember to disable it for websites you actually wish to support, and that has non-intrusive ads! Their websites can't run for free! Firefox version available as well.

YTshowrating. Shows the number of thumbs up/down in a nice way on YouTube.

Facebook full-size profile pictures Vew full-size profile pictures of people you aren't even friends with.

StayFocusd Useful if you're like me, easily distracted by the internet. Block pages (except some, like wikipedia) when you really need to study or concentrate.

Gmail checker Small icon in your browser that shows how many unread emails you have. Also check out other add-ons by Google!

Reddit plugins:

Reddit Enhancement Suite, a must!

Reddit Companion, also a must!

Reddit NSFW links in incognito, in case other people might see your log.
