KaKoo

Joshua Kaufman didn’t just sit back and watch when his laptop was stolen — he continued to watch it being stolen, days later. Yup, thanks to Hidden, an app that collects webcam pics and screenshots when a computer is stolen, Kaufman knows just what his MacBook thief looks like.

The MacBook in question was lifted from interaction designer Kaufman‘s Oakland, California, apartment March 21, along with a few pieces of jewelry. Luckily, Kaufman had installed the Hidden app on his computer back in December, which allowed him to capture pictures of the thief — as well as his Google ID — and create a Tumblr dedicated to the missing computer, This Guy Has My MacBook, which went live Friday.

According to Kaufman, despite the fact that he has told police where the MacBook is — thanks to Hidden — no progress had been made on its recovery. When asked if he thinks he’ll get his computer back, Kaufman replied: “I believe in the power of good.”

You hear that, dude who supposedly has Kaufman’s MacBook? He believes in you. So why don’t you go ahead and return that sucker to its rightful owner?

On Friday evening, a lewd photo was sent via the Twitter feed of New York Rep. Anthony Weiner to a young college student in Seattle. Now, that photo has become a topic of much Internet debate, with Weiner claiming that his Twitter and Facebook accounts were hacked as he hires a lawyer to protect his innocence, which many blogs and Internet denizens are questioning.

Both Weiner and college student Gennette Cordova deny that the picture in question was sent by the congressman himself. Weiner told NY1 TV, “Look, this is a prank, not a terribly creative one and it’s a distraction.” Cordova, for her part, sent a lengthy statement to the New York Daily News, stating, in part: “There have never been any inappropriate exchanges between Anthony Weiner and myself, including the tweet/picture in question, which had apparently been deleted before it reached me.”

Cordova also explicates how the whole ordeal has affected her privacy: “All of this is so outlandish that I don’t know whether to be pissed off or amused, quite frankly. This is the reality of sharing information online in the 21st century. Things that I never imagined people would care about are now being plastered all over blog sites.”

Cordova shut down her Twitter and Facebook accounts, and attempted to get other personal info taken off the web. Recently, however, it appears as through she has created a new Twitter account, which features the subhead: “I can’t believe I’m back on Twitter.” We’ve reached out to the person running the account for comment.

The Pic Heard Round The Blogosphere — which is actually a rather tame snap of gray underwear hiding, er, anatomy — has set off a storm of speculation in the blogosphere, particularly on the site Big Government, headed up by publisher Andrew Breitbart. Big Government was apparently first to break the story, which it has dubbed “Weinergate.”

Breitbart even appeared on CNN, where he said that Twitter user Dan Wolfe had first retweeted the pic, alerting him to the story. (Wolfe is currently tweeting about the incident, denying any involvement in the alleged hack. He also tweeted at Cordova: “I’m sorry for what you’ve been through too. I appreciate you saying that. I do hope things get better for you.”) We’ve reached out to Wolfe for comment as well.

Breitbart also stated that Wolfe has made some serious allegations about Weiner (who is married) having relationships with younger women, and called for an investigation of the alleged hack. In the meantime, Big Government is posting stories that throw the congressman’s story into question.

What do you think of this whole ordeal?

Twitter has launched a Follow button, enabling users to subscribe to the Twitter feeds of companies and individuals directly from their websites with a single click.

Previously, website publishers had to redirect users to their respective accounts on Twitter.com before users could opt to follow them. The new feature will likely encourage publishers to increase the number of “follow us” prompts on their sites, because they won’t have to risk redirecting their audiences off-site.

Users will still be able to preview profiles before opting to follow them by clicking the username next to the Follow button.

Those who are interested in adding the button to their own sites can set one up here.

Facebook and romantic relationships make for a potent — and potentially volatile — combination.

While the network does offer opportunities for meaningful social interactions and self-esteem boosts, it also opens a Pandora’s box of options for spying, stalking and other insecurity- and jealousy-driven actions between lovers.

And all those public relationship tidbits of data, from new relationship announcements to breakups to digital PDA, can have an impact on how others, including your partner, see you.

Here’s an interesting infographic on the subject from Online Dating University and AllFacebook.

How do you handle Facebook when it comes to interpersonal relationships, especially those of a romantic variety?

The Saudi Arabian woman who was arrested after posting an online video of herself driving has been freed from a women’s prison after nine days, pledging that she will no longer participate in a campaign to lift a ban on female drivers.

Manal al-Sherif was one of the key figures behind the Women2Drive initiative, which calls for Saudi Arabian women — particularly those with international licenses — to drive their own cars on June 17, instead of relying on chauffeurs or male relatives for transportation. Though there is no written law banning women from driving in Saudi Arabia, religious edicts enforced by the police prevent women from getting behind the wheel.

As part of the campaign, which had its roots on Facebook and Twitter before pages were removed and blocked, al-Sherif had a friend film her as she drove around the city of Khobar. The video was later posted online, and soon after that, al-Sherif was arrested and detained after being accused of “violating public order.”

Now, The Guardian reports that al-Sherif wrote a pledge saying that she’ll no longer drive, nor take part in the Women2Drive campaign. Her lawyer says al-Sherif’s pledge was her own decision — not one imposed by authorities.

The Associated Press says that Saudi activist Waleed Aboul Khair attributes al-Sherif’s release to “pressure from inside and outside” Saudi Arabia. Al-Sherif, the 32-year-old divorced mother of a 5-year-old boy, was originally expected to remain in custody until at least early June before being released Monday. Though al-Sherif is no longer speaking publicly about the matter, Aboul Khair says he still intends to petition Saudi authorities, asking them to lift the driving ban.

The fate of the June 17 rally appears to be uncertain at this point. But a copy of al-Sherif’s original Facebook page — Teach me how to drive so I can protect myself — still exists. Wall posts from supporters show that they’re happy about al-Sherif’s release, and many are still calling for action on June 17.

The rumor mill has been churning Monday afternoon with reports that Twitter is working on its own photo-sharing service that would compete with the likes of Twitpic and Yfrog.

TechCrunch first reported the tip, citing multiple unnamed sources, Monday afternoon. And now All Things D seems to have confirmed the story as well, going so far as to say the service will be announced this week. ATD‘s story also cites unnamed sources but claims the announcement will be made at its conference, D9, this week in Rancho Palos Verdes, California.

It wouldn’t come as too huge of a surprise if these reports turn out to be true. After Twitter asked developers to stop building third-party clients, the company announced its acquisition of TweetDeck. It did take months for those rumors to finally be confirmed, however, so we may be hearing these rumors for some time before Twitter makes any official announcement.

We’ve reached out to Twitter for a comment and will update this post when we learn more. UPDATE: Twitter’s spokespeople have responded, and they’re not commenting on the report.

In this collection of our favorite Instagram-infused applications, each offers an interesting way to view or enjoy Instagram’s ever-expanding photo archives — some are Instagram-only clients, while others use Instagram to enhance their existing products.

Instagram delights its more than 4.25 million users with photo-enhancing filters, tilt-shift, cool comments and “likes” features and instant social sharing options.

The once iPhone-only experience has spread to the web, Macs, iPads and even the physical world, thanks to a growing crop of developers. They’re harvesting the massive amount of photos shared by Instagram users each second via the startup’s three-month-old real-time API.

As many of our readers continue to point out, the only hole in Instagram’s ecosystem is the lack of an application for Android users.

Carousel

Carousel is a gorgeous Instagram Mac app for your desktop.

Carousel, which sells for $4.99 on the Mac App Store, includes the standard photo viewing and commenting features, but it also packs a number of nuances -- double-click photos to enlarge and save them to iPhoto for instance -- that make it a near picture-perfect interpretation of Instagram in desktop form.

We love the four theme options, keyboard shortcuts and the growl notification options, but its the simple and subtle design touches that make it a standout application.

Instagallery

Instagallery [iTunes link] is a $1.99 application for browsing Instagram photos on your iPad or iPhone.

Swipe through popular photos or login to scroll through, "like" and comment on your friends' Instagram photos. Hit the "play" button and the app will start a slideshow and scroll through photos for you.

Instagallery also includes user profiles, different background options, and supports tag and user search. You can even double-tap or pinch to zoom photos to enlarge them.

Screenstagram

Screenstagram is an Instagram-powered screen saver for Mac. Download the app and you'll be able to view your friends' photos as your always-updating desktop screen saver.

"We wanted to do something that took advantage of the eye candy, something beyond a web-based photo browser – something to really showcase our friends’ grainy, bar room photography," app creator Doug Pfeffer says. "A way we could sit with the photos and soak them in longer than usually allowed by the ephemeral, wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am approach taken by the feed in the Instagram iPhone app."

After download, simply select Screenstagram as your screen saver in the Desktop & Screen Saver settings panel. Input your user name and password, and optionally select to show user names or include popular images. Then, sit back and watch as Instagram photos are swapped in and out as tiles on your screen.

No Instagram account? No worries. You can still use Screenstagram to view popular photos.

Gramframe

Like Screenstagram, GramFrame is an Instagram screen saver, but this one is for your iPad.

The $1.99 iPad application [iTunes link] is as simple as they come. You can log in to Instagram and choose to watch popular photos, friends' photos or your own photos cascade on to your iPad.

MorningPics

Instagram early adopters have been posting photos for more than seven months and have likely developed a massive photo archive. MorningPics offers a simple way to relive those memories.

MorningPics delivers one randomly selected previously taken Instagram photo via email each morning. The email includes comments and "likes." Depending on what you post to Instagram, your daily morning trip down Instagram memory lane could be quite emotional or inspiring.

Sign up here for early access to the private beta.

Extragram

Extragram is a third-party web app for Instagram you can use to view, search, "like" and comment on Instagram photos.

The elegant interface displays photos in three different styles: Grid, Filmstrip (pictured) or Map view. We like it for its subtleties and finesse. We also enjoy the "Discover" tab for finding trending tags and profiles on Instagram. Plus, the app developers frequently release new features so it continues to get better with time.

Gramfeed

Gramfeed, like Extragram, is a web client for Instagram.

Gramfeed is a little less flashy than Extragram, but the interface does offer two different photo views and an enjoyable way to view your Instagram timeline, add comments and "likes" to friends' photos, search and browse popular photos.

Inkstagram

Inkstagram is also a web app for browsing Instagram photos. You can view photos in small, medium or full sizes while browsing your feed, popular photos or your own photos.

We especially appreciate the "My Likes" view which showcases all of the photos that you've liked on Instagram.

Instaprint

Instaprint is a printer for Instagram photos.

Each Instaprint box, intended to be an Instagram photo booth for parties, is set with a location or tag so that any Instagram photo appropriately tagged will be automatically printed in an ink-less Polaroid-like fashion.

The Instagram prints even include comments. For the Instagram geek, it really doesn't get much cooler than this.

Keepsy Instant Album

Scrapbooking startup Keepsy's Instant Album is a print photo book for your Instagram photos.

The online app connects to your Instagram account, pre-selects your best filtered photos and auto-generates an instant album of roughly 35 photos that you can purchase and place on your coffee table. If you'd rather customize and design your album, have at it; Instant Album lets you edit page layouts, drag-and-drop photos onto the same page, tweak backgrounds, customize text and so forth.

The 11-by-8.5 inch hardback albums start at $29.95.

Destroyed

Musician Moby used Instagram to add photo flare to his Destroyed album release. The artist launched a microsite tying together Soundcloud and Instagram to create an album/photo book experience with interactive appeal.

Users can listen to the new album while clicking on map points to view Instagram photos taken from Moby's tour.

We think it's a marvelous and highly creative use of Instagram's API and hope it will inspire more artists to explore photo-sharing and music mashups.

Momento

Momento, the $2.99 personal social media diary application for iPhone users, was one of the first applications to add Instagram integration.

The app is a winner in our book because it lets you automatically import your Instagram photos for inclusion in your daily diary entries. Now your Instagram moments don't have to be so fleeting.

Flipboard

When social magazine Flipboard added Instagram integration in March, application users were presented with an elegant way to leanback, flip through and enjoy their friends' filtered and tilt-shifted photos.

The rich integration displays brighter, bolder photos, and lets you comment and "like" friends' photos from within Flipboard.

Instagram inside Flipboard is a fresh take on leisurely weekday or weekend reading.
