Hands-on with Arqball Spin, the app that lets you create interactive 3D models
Sometimes, standard two dimensional photos, even those taken by a 41-megapixel sensor, simply aren't enough to accurately depict a three dimensional object. Enter Arqball Spin, a free app that lets anyone with an iOS device create high-quality 3D models of whatever they like. Using the iPhone's camera, the app takes a series of images and uses some software black magic to create the finished product. The model, or "spin", can be cropped and adjusted (brightness, saturation and contrast) like a regular photograph, plus users can create custom annotations to identify or comment on specific parts of the "spin" as well. Viewers can then rotate the model 360 degrees and zoom in on any part that piques their interest. While it's currently an Apple-centric affair, support for DSLRs and other hi-res cameras (by uploading videos to the company's website for processing) and other mobile platforms is in the pipeline.
The app works best if the object is situated on Arqball's stage, which rotates at an optimal three RPM -- the stage isn't available yet, but the company's going the Kickstarter route to get the capital needed to start manufacturing. Those who pitch in now can grab a stage for $60, and it'll cost $20 more if you want to wait until it's on sale. Of course, the app still functions if you want to hold your iPhone or iPad and walk around your subject, but you won't get near the quality result that you can when using the stage. Because the "spins" are hosted on Arqball's servers, they can easily be embedded on any website via HTML.
By making photo-realistic 3D modeling so easy and accessible, Arqball sees this technology as a perfect fit for online retailers, educators, and, ahem, even gadget reviewers. While the app holds obvious commercial appeal, the company's not counting out casual users, and hopes to see a future filled with user-created 3D content. We got to see the app in action, and walked away thoroughly impressed with both the speed of the app and the detailed models it produces -- but you don't have to take our word for it, see a sample spin and our hands-on video after the break.

Alienware's M11x is no more, bigger is apparently better
While Alienware's revealed a trio of updated machines for its gaming laptop range, one device, the M11x, was conspicuously absent. Yes, the 11-inch gaming midget won't be getting the same attention and will be "phased out", according to Alienware at a recent press event. While the device was critically well-received when it launched, gamers were now apparently looking for greater keyboard space and a larger screen in their mobile gaming purchases -- and this went for battery-life too. Those looking for a small form-factor in their mobile gaming rig will have to step up to the hulking 14-inch M14x. Hey, don't get too upset -- at least there's now an optical drive option.

Leslie Bibb vs. Morena Baccarin: Who Would You Rather...
To all of our female readers: we are very sorry.
But, really, this is the fault of Allure. In its latest issue, the magazine has printed photos by Patrick Demarchelier of Heidi Klum nude... Debra Messing nude... Maria Menounos nude... What is a celebrity gossip site to do?
We have no choice but to run these images, the latest of which include shots of actresses Leslie Bibb and Morena Baccarin in their birthday suits. Both come as close as possible to revealing all, but only one can be voted the winner of the following question:
WHO WOULD YOU PREFER TO PLOW?

Windows Server 8 gets a new name, roses retain their sweetness
A wise man once said that names don't matter, because what something's called won't change how mustard tastes. Microsoft has clearly taken that wisdom to its heart, spending two seconds (we hope) in deciding that official title of Windows Server 8 will be... Windows Server 2012. In other news, System Center 2012 -- Microsoft's private cloud software for enterprise users -- is now available for evaluation and purchase. Carry on.

Utah system puts a unique spin on Senate race
KAYSVILLE, Utah (AP) ? Every handshake counts in Utah's unique nominating system, even for a senator seeking his seventh term.
At Granny Annie's Cafe, just outside Salt Lake City, Sen. Orrin Hatch treated about 70 people to scones and juice ? and nearly two hours of his time ? one morning last week. Nearly all were delegates set to vote for a nominee at Saturday's state GOP convention.
To avoid a primary, Hatch needs at least 60 percent of the 4,000 delegates expected to vote. In spite of Hatch having spent more than $5 million since the beginning of 2011 to defend his seat, the fate of one of the most powerful senators in the country is coming down to just a few hundred votes.
"The process in Utah is either an unmitigated disaster or the best way to have a true democracy," says Tom Chapman, 63, a delegate from South Jordan who hasn't yet chosen a candidate.
"This gives people an opportunity to do something that you can't do with sound bites and ads," Chapman says. "Everybody has a chance to ask the question important to them and (the candidate) can't dodge them."
Hatch and his two key challengers, former state Sen. Dan Liljenquist and state Rep. Chris Herrod, have been appearing every day, several times a day, at restaurants, in backyards and at school libraries with mere handfuls of people, trying to secure votes one delegate at a time.
Hatch's opponents have spent far less money on the race. Liljenquist has only spent about $225,000 while Herrod has spent just $20,000. By most accounts, Hatch supporters came out in force for caucus meetings last month and overwhelmed the tea party crowd angling for a change, putting him close to that 60 percent threshold.
The candidates generally agree on some of the biggest issues, especially the importance of lowering the national debt and overhauling entitlement programs such as Medicaid and Social Security.
Hatch is urging delegates to back him so he can focus on helping likely presidential nominee Mitt Romney defeat President Barack Obama and on raising money for other Republicans running for the Senate. He emphasizes his congressional seniority, especially his position as top Republican on the powerful Senate Finance Committee. He also has promised to do everything possible to protect Hill Air Force Base in northern Utah and to open more public lands in the state for oil and natural gas wells.
"We can solve the problems, but we need a different Congress. We need more Republicans," Hatch told delegates at Granny Annie's Cafe. "You're here early in the morning and asking questions, which is important. But your real job happens during convention."
Hatch's opponents argue that his support of a lower debt rings hollow because he has served during the time when the debt spiraled ever higher. Even a balanced budget amendment Hatch has sponsored fails to impress his critics because it's never passed the Senate.
Liljenquist, who is generally considered the strongest challenger, is focused on the need for new leadership and has continually assured people that having two freshmen senators from Utah ? Mike Lee, also a Republican, is the other senator ? will not hurt the state. While it is doubtful that he could win the nomination at the convention, Liljenquist understands that if he can swing just a few hundred delegates away from Hatch there will almost assuredly be a primary.
A focus on the threat of entitlement programs to future generations has drawn people, especially tea party voters, to Liljenquist. He also criticizes Hatch for using scare tactics about the dangers of losing a powerful voice in Washington.
"Politicians already walk a fine line between confidence and narcissism," Liljenquist said during a recent gathering with about two dozen delegates at an International House of Pancakes. "They cross that line when they start claiming they're too big to fail."
Utah's caucus system has come under fire since 2010, when three-term Sen. Bob Bennett was defeated at the convention by a tea party surge. Even people who supported the system were concerned then about the ability of such smaller offshoot groups to seize control and direct the outcome.
This year, tea party groups such as FreedomWorks, which has spent more than $600,000 on anti-Hatch mailings and ads, hope to unseat Hatch in a similar fashion. Their chances were dimmed when turnout at the caucuses more than doubled, especially because many of the new attendees were there because of what happened with Bennett.
"The benefit of the caucus system is that it designates people who will do their job and listen. But I didn't like what happened to Bennett, which is one of the reasons I got involved," said Brian Grow, 28, a first-time delegate from Layton who is tentatively supporting Hatch. "It was frustrating to see him ousted by a fringe group that doesn't represent my views."
In Utah, candidates and interest groups are forced to organize at the grassroots level, which can give power to those who may not reflect a majority of the party. That certainly happened in 2010, both with tea party Republicans knocking off Bennett as well as environmentalists who forced Democratic Rep. Jim Matheson into a primary that he easily won.
Defenders of the Utah system argue a key advantage is that it reduces the influence of money in a race.
Hatch's spending ? as well as more than $1 million from outside groups that funded television ads and brochures aimed at keeping the senator in office ? certainly helped drive supporters to caucus meetings.
The outcome of Saturday's convention now comes down to candidate performance, likability, and just how many hands were shaken and minds changed.
"We start with our neighbors, and our views come up from the neighborhood and are carried to the convention," said Doug Smith, 59, a Hatch supporter from Bountiful. "If you want to have your voice heard, this is the system for it."

I'm about to meet this chick in a hour I met off okcupid. We have nothing in common but physical attraction, and this chick is a crazy nympho.? She gave me her number after like 3 messages.? We started talking and she was extremely bitchy and anti drug and just immature.....a lot of favorite color questions and naysaying everything I liked.? Then the other day she texts me out of the blue " for someone whos trying to get in my pants you dont try very fucking hard "? I said....ummmmok...hi?? ANd from there it was just her asking me what I wanted to do to her, and her sending me pictures of herself masturbating and her ass and what not.? She would continuously send me recordings of her moaning and picturs of the mess she made.? She claims she was with a guy for 3 years and he never fucked her and she was a virgin the whole time, and then she hooked up with a guy from okcupid for 6 months and they fucked every day and now shes single. So shes only fucked one guy ( I don't believe it ).? She starts asking me if we met up if I would just eat her out and jerk off, and not fuck her.....I said....ok?.....then she started begging to get titty fucked, and then she started talking about sucking me off.....this has been over a two week period.
We decided to meet up today, and she started talking about how she just wants me to fuck her hard all day, and then take her home and never talk to her again.? She said she doesn't want to date me, cause I don't wanna date her, and she just wants to get fucked, and not have to talk to me anymore.
How awesome is that?

I pick up some freaks on that site.? My pic is jut me and my dog, and my profile seems pretty normal to me, with a bit of witty humor thrown in.? Her profile seemed completely normal, and I didn't think I'd get anywhere with her really, she was just super attractive and lived right around the corner from me so I figured I'd message her, and she ended up being a crazy nympho.? She looked even better then her pics did too.? Shes really immature though.....and not the brightest girl ever, but I don't do an iq test before's I fuck someone.

i was trying to seem smart on my profile. i answered all the questions that test intelligence and stuff. so i was recommended a lot of girls who were probably too smart and well adjusted to have ridiculous online hook ups.
i dont know...im thinking of trying again. i just have no incentive to use the site unless im horny or lonely. i feel like thats a dumb reason to do things.
although if everyone felt that way, no one would do anything because thats why empires are built. acceptance and pussy.
