The latest LivingColors lamp produces 16 million colors through a combination of 7 LEDs—an overall quality of light that's 50% brighter than version one.
And while the intuitive remote and bulbous shape remain mostly unchanged, you'll now have the option to purchase an opaque version (which we're guessing produces a more directional light flow) along with a more typical metal base stand. Look for the update in Europe soon, with models ranging from about $230-$350. [geekandhype via Unplggd]

If you were irked about being unable to quote IM sections from Skype conversations, that got fixed in Skype 2.1 Beta 2. If you're amazed at how irksome connecting Skype through PulseAudio, the default audio engine in Ubuntu and a few other distributions—you're not getting much help here. With that out of the way, your Linux-friendly editor will point out the big list of improvements and fixes in this release.
Skype for Linux 2.1 Beta 2 is a free download for Linux systems only. If you've discovered a few smart Skype fixes on your Linux system, or want to see something else fixed up, tell us about it in the comments.
Matt Haughey was never really happy with the interface at Flickr, it always seemed like he could never get the images as big as he wanted without excess fiddling and fighting with the interface. He increased the default image size but that wasn't enough. His solution relies on a clever mouse-less version of the slideshow:
1. From whatever page you access contact photos, a user's photostream, and/or a photoset, click on the slideshow link
2. As soon as the slideshow loads, hit the pause button on the lower left
3. Use your keyboard's left/right keys to navigate through the set of photos at full screen. If your mouse pointer isn't in the very top or very bottom of the browser, all slideshow chrome will fade in a couple seconds leaving you with giant photos on a clean crisp full browser display
We tested it out—see the screenshot above—and it is a quick and painless way to enjoy completely full screen images sans any visual clutter or downloading add-ons.
Have your own clever hacks for getting more out of services without resorting to using add-ons and Greasemonkey scripts as bandages? Let's hear about it in the comments.
