LG may bring Google TVs to Korea, China soon; seeing ‘good returns’ in the US
Author: Tiffany Shoman
While Eric Schmidt’s proclamation that “most” new TVs would have Google TV embedded last year didn’t come true, LG stated today that it’s bringing the platform to more regions soon. The Korea Times reports an unnamed company executive at the KCTA Digital Cable Show stated the platform is yielding good returns, with average sales of 10,000 units per month. He went on to state that LG Electronics would bring Google TVs to Korea later this year — following the integrated IPTV boxes offered by LG Uplus — and China after that. Microsoft is apparently ready to follow Google TV’s lead with HDMI passthrough and TV overlays, we’ll see if it can gain traction at home and overseas before others catch up.

Google+ now offers suggested content as you browse mobile news sites
Author: Tiffany Shoman
The next time you browse the mobile version of a news website, Google+ may step in to guide you to related content. The tool’s new recommendation feature, available on Android and iOS, can suggest similar articles, or posts by the same author, with direct access to an abbreviated version of that individual’s Google+ page. To implement the feature, web developers simply need to add a single line of JavaScript to their mobile website. Forbes appears to be Mountain View’s launch partner with this latest endeavor — you should be able to take it for a spin by visiting any article page on the news organization’s mobile site. Desk jockeys can preview the new recommendations engine as well — snag a closer look in the demo video just past the break.

Guy Gets Sucked Out The Back Of Plane By Parachute
Author: Tiffany Shoman
This is a short video of a solider getting sucked out of the back of an airplane/helicopter after his reserve chute catches the wind. One second he’s there, the next he’s gone. Kind of like my online dating dates when we finally meet at a restaurant. *looking around* Was it something I said?! (It’s usually a combination of everything I said plus the fact my profile pic was a blurry Leonardo DiCaprio).

This is a short video of a solider getting sucked out of the back of an airplane/helicopter after his reserve chute catches the wind. One second he’s there, the next he’s gone. Kind of like my roommate whenever the check comes at a restaurant. I’ve actually started tying his shoelaces together under the table so can’t sneak away. That or pinning his hand to the table with a steak knife. I SAID WE’RE GOING DUTCH, DEREK.
You’re right, those were both bad. Hit the jump for the video.

Pixelmator 2.2 goes after graphic design with new shape tools and vectors-first UI
Author: Tiffany Shoman
Popular OS X image editor Pixelmator is releasing a major update tomorrow, codenamed Blueberry, and if you like working with vector shapes, it might just make your day. New tools for working with text as vectors, a new Shapes palette, and the ability to reconfigure your workspace for vector-first input are the big additions this time around. On the other hand, if you tend to focus on photo editing, there’s a flexible new effect that imitates the light leak found in cheap film cameras, and a new tool called Paint Selection (a toned-down version of Photoshop’s Quick Selection) makes it easier to select certain parts of your images. Long story short, there’s a lot of new stuff packed in here, and the download is free if you already own…

Google’s decision to recognize Palestine could undermine peace efforts, Israel says
Author: Tiffany Shoman
Israel has asked Google to reconsider its decision to list Palestine among its selection of localized search pages, accusing the company of implicitly recognizing a Palestinian state. In a letter to Google CEO Larry Page, deputy foreign minister Ze’ev Elkin said the search giant’s move could undermine efforts for peace in the region.
The company’s Google.ps search page had previously been labeled “Palestinian territories,” but was changed to “Palestine” on May 1st. Israel’s foreign ministry had expressed concerns over the nomenclature, saying it “raises questions” about Google’s intent. As the Jerusalem Post reports, Elkin has now adopted a more openly critical stance.
