Star Wars Uncut
The crowd-sourced remake of Star Wars is 'finished'. The film stiches together scenes from hundreds of fan-recreated elememts to fill out the entire original original movie. Better than Attack of the Clones ....but it's not even widescreen.
That's the trailer above and a scene called 'The Escape' below. See more on the project's website.

Spotify Plus
The developer community is building around Spotify's platform - as noted by their recent community awards. Playlistify was the overall winner, allowing you to convert an iTunes playlist into a Spotify one. Minus the songs they don't have - which is still proving to be their weak link.
You can see a Spotify clickable export of the Chimpomatic master library here. Although it's a couple of months out of date. Will send word down to the tech basement requesting an update.
