Newt was a Pixar movie that was supposed to have been released in 2012. Apparently it was canceled to make way for other projects, some say due to lack of strong story. Click image to open the full gallery on Pixar’s Facebook account.

Switchlet
When it comes to web browsers I tend to stick to just two at a time and I keep same two browsers for quite some time, sometimes it can take years before a better one comes along or they cease to be as useful, functional and practical as I need them to be.
Anyway, if you’re the kind of person who not only changes browsers often but find the need to switch your default browser every now and then, Switchlet is an applet that lets you do just that easily.
The default browser handles all the URL actions you perform on other apps, for example clicking a link in Mail or in a Twitter app, or anywhere else. While this applet doesn’t give you the ability to change the destination browser for a particular link, it’s one step towards that and saves you from having to copy and paste.
On launch, it automatically places itself on the menu bar and lists all the browser apps it finds on your hard drive. It seems like a handy little app.
The downside is if you’ve already got a highly populated menu bar, this adds yet another resident and you can’t command+drag it to reposition the icon.
Switchlet works in Mac OS X 10.6.
You can blog to Tumblr with myTumblr, a full-featured blogging client from MOApp Software Manufactory built just for Tumblr, entirely from the keyboard. A series of shortcuts let you pick which type of post you want to start (ex: Command+1 for Text, Command+5 for Link), and you can tab through all the fields like tags and the body of your post. When you’re done, Command+Shift+D ships the post off to Tumblr, just like it sends a message in Mail.
Star Wars-Themed Song Parody of the Day: “Midichlorian Rhapsody” — Jeff & Maya Bohnhoff manage to make the Star Wars prequels slightly less offensive by condensing them to six minutes, and setting them to the tune of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody.”
Off the duo’s collection of nerdy classic rock parodies, Grated Hits.

Apple may have announced a brand new Apple TV but as far as its Indonesian online store goes, it’s still the old, silver & white Apple TV with the price slashed to Rp 1.6 million ($177) which presumably will be the price of the new version.
The link that’s supposed to go to the Asian AppleTV page now redirects to the iPod overview page instead with no listing of Apple’s latest black box anywhere on the site. Looks like the old AppleTV is still alive but only at the Indonesian Apple Online Store.
Apparently they’ve managed to improve the ability of oil-consuming bacteria to help cleanup oil spills. Anyone else see anything wrong with this? Sure, it would make cleaning the Gulf of Mexico even easier and faster but when these babies get released, who’s to say they won’t eat up the world’s supply of oil and oil-based products? Imagine your notebooks, toys, cars, gadgets, all disappear thanks to an evolved form of this bacteria. It’d be a different world.
