Instagram changed their T&Cs, giving them the right to sell your photos, and the resulting uproar has resulted in a quick backpedal.

Here's an interesting Russian smartphone with a Kindle-like screen on the back. The YotaPhone's claim to fame — and the reason why The Wall Street Journal announced yesterday that "the Russians are coming" — is that its rear display isn't an LCD or an AMOLED display, but an always-on E Ink unit like that found in Amazon's Kindle e-readers.

Kombiman spotted this Xmas-themed research paper. The nasal microcirculation of reindeer is richly vascularised, with a vascular density 25% higher than that in humans. These results highlight the intrinsic physiological properties of Rudolph’s legendary luminous red nose, which help to protect it from freezing during sleigh rides and to regulate the temperature of the reindeer’s brain, factors essential for flying reindeer pulling Santa Claus’s sleigh under extreme temperatures.
