Have you ever seen those nice pictures which are made by hundreds of small, really small different pictures (a.k.a. mosaics) ? I have ever wondered about the procedure to make them, thinking that maybe just Photoshop experts could really produce those beautiful masterpieces. Well, now I know how to make them, and I know that it is not difficult at all. In fact, Picartia promises to change your ordinary pictures into beautiful mosaics composed by hundreds of different colorful pictures! The whole procedure is quite simply. First of all you have to go to Picartia website. No registration is required. Once there, upload your picture, pick up the gallery ( each gallery has a particular theme such as: babies, cities,birds, batterflies, kitties etc.) which is composed by pictures which will become part of the mosaic, and you are done: an email containing a link to your mosaic will be delivered to your email account! No extra knowledge is required. From now on you will be able to boast with your friends about the stunning creativity you have got!

The new version of Google Earth, namely version 4.3, is a real milestone in the making of this software, since lots of new features have been added to the ones already available, which make this program something to have on your computer absolutely! Now Google Earth is faster than before as far as 3D is concerned. 3D is available for more cities, giving you the chance to see more things in detail. Another nice feature is the Sunlight Shadow which lets you watch the sunrise and sunset from anywhere, while the Street View, just available for Google Maps until some time ago, is now fully integrated in Google Earth. Street View lets you fly into panoramic images of cities and take a 360 degree tour. If you want to download this new version of Google Earth, click here. If instead you want to see the new features I mentioned above, watch the video now!
